The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Xia Zhibai looked at Xia Yanxiang worriedly. Although he was standing in front of Xia Pinxiang, he did it to prevent Xia Yanxiang from doing something out of control: "Yan'er..."

Xia Yanxiang closed her eyes tightly, trying hard to regain her sanity. After a while, she opened her eyes, loosened her hand, and the jade hairpin in her hand fell to the ground with a snap.

Mo Yuchen still stared at Xia Yanxiang vigilantly. Fortunately, the redness in Xia Yanxiang's eyes gradually faded away.

Xia Yanxiang broke free from Mo Yuchen's hand, walked to Xia Pinxiang, stretched out her hand wrapped in a handkerchief to pinch Xia Pinxiang's chin, and said in a low voice: "Xia Pinxiang, go back and tell the minister that even if I, Xia Yanxiang, am infamous today, I will not marry Mo Yuyang. Not to mention being a concubine, even if he is the main wife, I don't care. Only you treat him like a treasure."

After saying that, Xia Yanxiang fiercely shook her hand away, as if she remembered something, and said meaningfully: "By the way, Xia Pinxiang, your wishful thinking has failed. The people who blocked me on the street have been arrested, and it has not caused any impact on me. You have already publicized this matter before the matter has been completed, which makes people doubt your intentions."

Having said this, Xia Yanxiang paused obviously, and successfully saw the panic-stricken expression on Xia Pinxiang's face.

Of course, not only Xia Yanxiang saw it, but Xia Zhibai and Mo Yuchen also saw it. Originally, Xia Zhibai remained calm, but when he saw that Xia Yanxiang had tested Xia Pinxiang's character, he could not help but get angry.

Mo Yuchen's expression was icy cold, but he suppressed it.

"You'd better have nothing to do with this matter. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. You won't be able to keep your position as Prince Yuan's concubine." After saying this, Xia Yanxiang felt dizzy. Yu Kui saw that she was in trouble and hurried over to support her.

Xia Yanxiang did not look back, but turned her back to Xia Zhibai and Mo Yuchen and said, "Your Highness Prince Luo, brother, I am not feeling well. I will go down first."

Without waiting for Xia Zhibai and Mo Yuchen to reply, Yukui helped Xia Yanxiang out of the main hall.

Mo Yuchen didn't stay here for long. He said coldly, "General, this matter is not a big deal. It's just your family affairs. I can't interfere. As for the matter of testifying, I still need to discuss it with you. I will wait for you in the study."

"I obey your command." Xia Zhibai bowed and asked someone to prepare tea and snacks for Mo Yuchen.

Mo Yuchen waved his hand and went straight to the backyard.

"Big brother..." Xia Pinxiang looked at Xia Zhibai pitifully, as if she was aggrieved. She just hoped that Xia Zhibai could believe her. Although she was indeed frightened by Xia Yanxiang, she was not that afraid of Xia Zhibai. After all, Xia Zhibai had never lost his temper with his family. Xia Pinxiang naturally didn't know Xia Zhibai's true temper and was still thinking about discrediting Xia Yanxiang. "I, I really do this for Yanxiang's good. It's normal for Yanxiang not to understand for a while..."

Xia Zhibai never attacked women, but that didn't mean he didn't know the truth. But now everything was pending. He had been on the battlefield for so many years, so he certainly understood that evidence was needed. Now the important thing was to verify who the person was. "No need to say more. This matter is indeed suspicious. Yanxiang was not hurt at all, but you and your father both agreed that something happened to Yan'er, which is indeed suspicious."

Xia Pinxiang wanted to explain something but was interrupted by Xia Zhibai.

"No need to say more. I'll send someone to take you back first. I'll come to your house to find you if there's anything." Xia Zhibai interrupted her with a cold face, and then ordered someone to prepare a carriage, "Come on, take the second young lady back to the house."

Xia Zhibai is a man of his word. Once he makes a decision, few people can change him.

Just like he insisted on marrying Li back then.

Xia Pinxiang had no choice but to swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth and nodded silently.

Mo Yuchen waited in the study for a while before Xia Zhibai finally arrived.

"What do you think should be done about this, General?"

Xia Zhibai's face was unclear, and he did not tell Mo Yuchen everything. Instead, he said calmly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness Prince Luo. Regardless of whether this matter was caused by my father, I can handle it."

Mo Yuchen clearly sensed Xia Zhibai's concern and distrust, but that was normal. After all, family disgrace should not be made public. However, since he was a witness, he had the right to participate in this matter: "General, you don't have to be polite. I am a witness after all, and it is reasonable for me to participate in this matter. I hope to join forces with the general to give justice to the third young lady."

Xia Zhibai looked at Mo Yuchen suspiciously, as if he was worried about something.

Xia Zhibai knew who was behind today's incident at a glance, and he knew why after thinking about it carefully. But he was not sure whether His Royal Highness Prince Luo in front of him had the same idea.
