The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Xia Zhibai rode his horse to Xia Yanxiang's carriage. He wanted to lift the curtain of Xia Yanxiang's carriage to see her reaction, but he didn't do it. Instead, he glared at the beggars with anger on his face: "Who sent you here? You dare to stop the carriage of the general's mansion!"

There weren't many people on this street originally, but as things got out of hand, people gradually gathered around.

The whispers became louder and louder.

Xia Zhibai looked around, but before he could say anything, Mo Yuchen spoke first: "General, everyone is here. If you want to interrogate them, you might as well take them back first. Too many people around may not be good for the reputation of the Third Miss."

Xia Yanxiang did not open the car curtain from beginning to end, and did not say anything when she heard Mo Yuchen's arrangement.

Xia Zhibai thought for a while and gave the order: "Come here, take him away!"

"Thank you very much, Your Highness Prince Luo, for rescuing me today. It's just that I am unable to get out of the carriage to thank you in person. I will definitely come to thank you another day." Xia Yanxiang's cold voice came from the carriage, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Xia Zhibai was a little confused, but it was normal. Xia Yanxiang might have been frightened today. She would not look good after getting off the car. It would be better not to get off the car. "Your Highness Prince Luo, please don't be surprised. My sister might have been frightened today. It is inconvenient for me to bow and thank you. Please don't be surprised."

Mo Yuchen was worried, but he would not blame Xia Zhibai and Xia Yanxiang. Instead, he said, "General, you don't have to be polite. I happened to pass by today, so I can be regarded as a witness for the Third Miss. Why don't I go back to the General's Mansion with you to interrogate you?"

Xia Zhibai wanted to refuse, but then he thought about the many people around him, and he couldn't stop the gossip. If Prince Luo could testify, Yan'er's reputation might be saved, so he changed his words and said, "Then I'll trouble His Royal Highness Prince Luo."

Xia Yanxiang in the carriage did not look good, her face was pale even. The hairpin in her hand had cut her hand, and the gushing blood had turned dark black. Her hairpin was poisonous, and she did not bring the antidote with her today, so she had to use a handkerchief to stop the bleeding first and then deal with it when she returned to the general's residence.

The memories of her past life kept impacting Xia Yanxiang's mind. On this day in her past life, Mo Yuchen had not arrived in time, nor had Yu Kui had the foresight to look for Xia Zhibai. She was alone. Although she brought many guards with her when she went out, she still couldn't stop so many beggars. She let the drunkard break into the door of her carriage and opened the curtain. Although it was pulled open by An Zhi, her reputation was ruined and she was later plotted against by Mo Yuyang.

Arriving at the general's residence, Xia Yanxiang calmed down and got off the carriage. Mo Yuchen was in front of them and he also got off the horse, threw the reins to Yizhu, and walked towards the entrance of the general's residence.

"Bai Ke, take the horse to the stable."

Xia Zhibai gave an order to his personal guard, and then followed Xia Yanxiang and Mo Yuchen in.

Xia Yanxiang was supported by Yukui, and her right hand was trembling slightly. Mo Yuchen, who was following behind her, saw it and felt a little worried, but did not say anything.

"Waste! A bunch of waste!" Mo Yuyang was furious. The opportunity he had finally gotten was gone, and it was ruined by Mo Yuchen. Mo Yuyang was so angry that his liver ached. "What's the point of me keeping you? You can't even do such a small thing, and you were caught by King Luo. Now even General Pu Wei has caught someone! If he finds evidence against me, you will be buried with me!"

After a tantrum, Mo Yuyang finally vented some of his anger. He thought for a moment, then said to the assassin kneeling behind him, "Go, make sure he shuts up. We can't let General Pu Wei find out that it was me who did it."

Xia Pinxiang came to the general's mansion at some point, but unfortunately she didn't know that Xia Yanxiang's reputation had not been ruined, and she was still thinking about discrediting Xia Yanxiang.

Seeing Xia Yanxiang coming in, Xia Pinxiang pretended to stand up in a panic. She was about to speak, but she didn't expect to see Mo Yuchen following in. She quickly and calmly saluted Mo Yuchen: "Xia Pinxiang of the Xia family greets His Royal Highness Prince Luo."

Mo Yuchen didn't want to pay any attention to Xia Pinxiang at all, but just nodded perfunctorily for the sake of face.

Xia Pinxiang got a response from Mo Yuchen, and then she "kindly" asked and comforted Xia Yanxiang: "Sister, are you okay? My father and I already know what happened on the street. My father is worried about you, and so is my sister. Don't be afraid, my father won't let anyone point fingers at you."

Xia Yanxiang had an unpredictable expression on her face. She stared straight at Xia Pinxiang, watching her hypocritically comforting herself.

"Father asked me to tell you that the only solution now is for father to find you a reliable husband's family, and then let your husband's family suppress this matter. But if you don't want to, that's fine, but we still have two younger sisters, Jianxiang and Qianxiang, who haven't reached the age of 15 yet. What if our reputation is ruined by this incident?" Xia Pinxiang looked distressed, but she really cared about her two younger sisters.

Same rhetoric, same trick.

After Xia Yanxiang heard what Xia Pinxiang said, a trace of sarcasm appeared on her pale face: "Are you done?"

"What, what?" Xia Yanxiang's reaction was somewhat beyond Xia Pinxiang's expectations.

"You came here today just to say this?" Xia Yanxiang continued to mock.

Xia Pinxiang thought that Xia Yanxiang was irritated, and Xia Yanxiang's face was very pale. Now Xia Yanxiang's reputation was ruined, and she, Xia Pinxiang, was about to marry His Royal Highness Prince Yuan. As long as she managed it well, it was not impossible for her to become the queen.

Seeing Xia Yanxiang desperate, Xia Pinxiang was naturally proud in her heart, but her face was terrified: "Sister, it's not like that, I'm just worried about you."

"That's enough!" Xia Yanxiang suddenly became angry for some reason, "Xia Pinxiang, while I still have some patience, you, get out of the general's mansion now."
