The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

That question only flashed through Xie Lin's mind for a moment before being blown away by the night wind.

He sobered up, and his voice became clear in an instant: "Mammy, your daughter is drunk, take her back. It's cold at night, be careful not to let her get caught in the wind, or she will have a headache tomorrow."

Nanny Rui immediately stepped forward, let Chu Heyi put one arm around her shoulders and lean on her, and used the other hand to hold Chu Heyi's waist.

"I'm taking my girl back. Thank you, Sir, take care on the road."

Xie Lin nodded slightly, standing on the side of the road, watching Baihua come forward and together with Nanny Rui, carefully help Chu Heyi leave Wanxiang Mansion and get on the carriage of Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. Then he left and got on his own carriage.

Behind the carriage, several guards followed silently.

There were only the master and his servant in the carriage.

"Wangshan, tomorrow morning you will follow what Miss Heyi said and go find a suitable place and arrange the staff. There must be enough staff and the place must be large enough. The place must be in Chuan'an City."

Chuan'an City is adjacent to Shengjing City.

Wang Shan was surprised: "Third Master, Miss Heyi is drunk, can we trust her drunken words?"

Xie Lin was very sure: "She wasn't talking drunkenly."

Wangshan still found it unbelievable, but he did not dare to object to his master's order and agreed.

The next morning, he went to Chuan'an City to do things as Xie Lin requested.

Although his body obeyed Xie Lin, he couldn't help thinking in his heart: "If you say Miss Heyi can go to the battlefield to fight, I can still believe it. After all, she is very good at archery and she is also smart.

"But it's hard to believe that Miss Heyi can make wine and sugar. She has never done such things. If she had such ability, she would have made a fortune and improved her life after suffering in the countryside for more than ten years. Why wait until now?"

Wangshan felt that his master had made a wrong judgment this time.

This was the first time his master had made a wrong judgment in many years.

And his master's first mistake was given to Chu Heyi.

Wang Shan sighed.

At noon that day, Chu Heyi personally delivered the finished drawings to Xie Lin. Xie Lin knew that she would definitely come and was not surprised.

He only asked the nanny to prepare tea and snacks, and discussed what to do next with Chu Heyi in the study.

However, someone came outside. She wanted to give Xie Lin a surprise, so she did not allow the doorman to inform him and came directly to the study door. When she saw Chu Heyi here, she frowned.

When she heard Chu Heyi's voice coming from the study, her face looked even worse.

Baihua and Rui Ma were standing guard at the door of the study. When they saw the people coming, they were stunned for a moment, then they immediately knelt down and shouted, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Before the prince could speak, Princess Pingyang asked first: "What is your young lady doing in Xie's house?"

The last time, Baihua and Nanny Rui followed Chu Heyi into the palace. A lot of things happened to Chu Heyi that night, which attracted the attention of Princess Pingyang. Therefore, Princess Pingyang recognized that Nanny Rui and Baihua were Chu Heyi's people.

What happened that night made her lose all her good feelings towards Chu Heyi, and instead she felt deep hostility towards him. Now that she came here and met Chu Heyi again, she felt like her lover had been taken away by someone else, and she was even more angry.

In the study, Xie Lin and Chu Heyi also heard the noise outside. They both quieted down at the same time and stood up to pay their respects.

When Princess Pingyang saw them coming out together, she wanted to get angry, but was held back by the prince.

The prince stepped forward and helped Xie Lin and Chu Heyi up, "Sir Xie, Lady Cheng'an, you don't have to be so polite. Please stand up quickly."

Xie Lin: "I didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess had arrived. I am sorry for not coming to greet you. What are you two here for today?"

"It's like this. My sister came to my father and made a fuss about leaving the palace. My father has always loved her and couldn't bear to refuse her, but he was also afraid that she would be too bored and in danger if she went out alone, so he asked me to send Xiaojing to Xie's house to stay for a few days. I hope that Xiaojing can be accompanied and cared for by Master Xie during her stay in Xie's house."

He added: "Master Xie is very attentive and capable, and we all know how to do it, so I will leave my sister to Master Xie for the time being."

Princess Pingyang wants to live in Xie's house? Xie Lin frowned almost imperceptibly. This matter actually got the emperor's approval!

The prince added, "The emperor has arranged thirty guards to secretly protect Xiao Jing's safety. The people who take care of her are all maids and palace maids brought from the palace, so Lord Xie doesn't need to feel too stressed. Just arrange a courtyard for Xiao Jing to stay in."

Xie Lin: “…”

This was like directly stuffing people into Xie's house, not giving him a chance to refuse, and even blocking his way to find the emperor and bring Princess Pingyang back to the palace.

He looked coldly at the prince and princess for a while, then lowered his eyes, probably knowing what they were thinking.

"Your Majesty's order, I dare not disobey. I will immediately have someone clean up the yard."

Xie Lin called the housekeeper and asked him to take people to clean up the yard. The Xie Mansion suddenly became lively.

The prince looked at Chu Heyi again and said, "I was rude to you when I asked you to marry me last time. I hope you will forgive me."

Chu Heyi bowed: "Your Highness, don't worry about it. I have already forgotten it."

The smile on the prince's face froze for a moment, but it disappeared in a flash.

"I have some questions that I would like to ask Sir Xie. Sir Xie, please spare me a moment to talk."

Xie Lin invited him into the study, and after the two of them entered, the door of the study was closed.

Outside the study were all the people brought by the prince, including guards, eunuchs, maids, palace maids, etc. It was a huge scene.

Chu Heyi looked at this situation and fell into deep thought.

Princess Pingyang suddenly stood in front of her and ordered directly: "Princess Cheng'an, from now on, you are not allowed to come to the Xie family and meet Mr. Xie privately. My father allowed me to bring people to live in the Xie Mansion. You should understand what my father means."

She had reached the age to choose a prince consort, and she went to ask her father to let her move into the Xie family. On the surface, she was going out to have fun, but both she and her father knew the real purpose.

The emperor allowed her to come, which meant that he recognized Xie Lin as a person and tacitly approved of her behavior of recruiting Xie Lin as his consort.

She is the legitimate daughter of the Empress Dowager and the most beloved princess of her father, and she has the right to choose her beloved husband.

Chu Heyi didn't seem to understand: "What do you mean?"

Princess Pingyang was in a good mood today and was not angry. Instead, she said proudly, "My father likes Xie Lin very much. He will definitely be my consort in the future."

Chu Heyi asked her: "Does the Queen agree?"

These words instantly shattered Princess Pingyang's pride and made her furious.

In the past, she confessed that she liked Xie Lin and was slapped twice by her mother. She has never forgotten this incident.

She left the palace today because she wanted to settle her lifelong affairs as soon as possible while her mother was still under house arrest. When her mother was released from house arrest and found out, she would be helpless.

Fortunately, she had her brother, the prince, to help her, and with the permission of her father, she was able to come to the Xie Mansion as she wished.

Chu Heyi brought up her mother to pressure her, how could she not be angry!
