Seeing Xie Qingrong not saying a single word of concern, and instead calmly waiting for Xie Qingrong to speak.

Xie Qingrong squinted her eyes, and bowed respectfully to Xie Jing: "Greetings, General Xie." After the ceremony, he turned around and left. Just as she stepped out of the doorstep, she heard Xie Jing say coldly: "Stop. "Come back here."

"So General Xie also knows that it has been a long time since he last saw his daughter. This is truly a cause for celebration. Furthermore, didn't General Xie forget that your daughter is born with a mother and not a child? Xie Qingrong turned around, coldly mocking Xie Jing.

In a flash, fifteen years had passed. Huai Yue had left and's daughter had grown up. She didn't expect his daughter to have such a personality after growing up. Too cold, too light, too stubborn, I don't know if it's good or bad.

He had been guarding at the border for the past few years and seemed to have missed many things. If it were not for this urgent situation, he would not have been in such a hurry to return.

Thinking about that, Xie Jing cleared his throat and said: "I heard that you're injured, is it better now?"

Xie Qingrong glanced at him, then shifted her gaze away.

Her current concerned appearance was completely different from when she was angry enough to smash her to death. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it. Why would he care about her at such a time?

If not for this so called "father" ignoring him for all these years, Xie Qingrong would never have been bullied by the other people in the manor to the point where he couldn't even imagine jumping into the river to commit suicide.

"There is no need for General Xie to be so kind." Xie Qingrong said coldly, not moving at all.

Xie Jing frowned and said: "I am just worried about you."

"If you truly care about me, then why would you leave me here all alone all these years and allow your servants to bully me?" Xie Qingrong asked the answer that she had always wanted to know on behalf of the original owner, and she seemed to be slightly anticipating how Xie Jing would answer.

"The borders are difficult, the people are difficult. Your father is only doing things for the country and for the people." Xie Jing acted as if he had sacrificed himself for the justice of the nation.

Xie Qingrong looked at him fixedly. His face had a righteous and loyal expression the entire time and there was not a trace of evasion or evasion in her eyes. Xie Qingrong suddenly understood. This person had first become a general, then a father, and then a husband.

She didn't know what she could say. Should she mourn for the original owner? His father was worthy of the citizens and his country, but he only let Xie Qingrong down.

But it had happened, and there was no point in talking now.

Xie Qingrong sighed, and said indifferently: "I understand, Daddy."

"As long as you understand. Rong'er, come here. " Xie Jing ordered someone to bring over a complete set of tea set, and Xie Qingrong sat down beside Xie Jing.

"I wonder why father suddenly returned to the capital?" Xie Qingrong asked the question that she wanted to know the most. She could vaguely guess a little, but she wasn't sure.

"Father is returning to the capital for the Fangfang Feast half a month later." Xie Jing continued to speak, "This time, the Fangfang Feast is very important. If it wasn't for the Emperor summoning me urgently, I wouldn't have hurried over."

Fangfang Feast? Wasn't it just a banquet?

Is there anything important that will happen? Could it be that there will be a visit from another country?

However, his expression was cold, and the corners of his lips curled up. After recovering his expressionless face, he explained to her: "This time, Fangfang Feast and the Regent of the Yue Country will also come, and at that time, the capital will definitely be under martial law."

Xie Jing lowered his voice and continued: "Also, the Crown Prince of Chu has already personally led fifty thousand troops to suppress the country. It's clear that they have not come with good intentions, and there's still no news from the Regent of the Yue Country yet. These two nations are eyeing my Heavenly Sage Kingdom covetously, and there is even a Wilderness in the north.

Rong'er, don't be too outstanding, Fangfang Feast must not be too outstanding, at that time, your father will also enter the palace to attend the banquet, so you can follow me into the palace. As for the other matters, I will handle them myself. Your father still has things to do and needs to make a trip to the palace. For the next half month, you should stay at the general's estate and not go anywhere else. "

With that, Xie Qingrong left in deep thought and quickly left.

Crown Prince of Chu's personal guard, the fifty thousand strong army was pressing down on them and the Regent of Yue Country was nowhere to be seen. It seemed that one of the two was in the shadows while the other was in the open. Who would be the one to welcome them? If not Xuanyuan Chen, then it was definitely Xuanyuan Jing. There were only these two princes that could be used by the Heavenly Sage Kingdom.

Presumably, Fangfang Feast would be very exciting this time, she was already a little impatient.

Xie Qingrong's cold eyes quickly flashed with a trace of light, and the corner of her lips drew out an extremely cold smile.

King Jing Mansion.

In the dark basement, only a single lamp was lit on the wall. The faint light from the candle illuminated the kneeling figure on the floor, which was extremely eerie.

A sullen voice, mixed with anger, said, "Something that cannot be done well."

"Please punish me, Master." His voice was somewhat hoarse, and it was the voice of the person kneeling on the ground.

Xuanyuan Jing lowered his head, his eyes dark and cold. He coldly snorted and asked: "ChiYan, what exactly happened at that time, how did you get caught?"

The dark guard, Chi Yan, who was kneeling on the ground replied respectfully, "Reporting to Master, this subordinate had already dealt with the midwife with a single slash. However, just as this subordinate was about to deal with her, Miss Xie and her two maidservants walked over. In a moment of desperation, the subordinate could only place the corpse on the tree. Originally, the subordinate had planned to dispose of the dagger together with the corpse, but the subordinate had left it there by mistake.

Originally, his subordinate had planned to deal with the corpse after Miss Xie left, but who knew that Miss Xie would actually find the corpse. This subordinate is incompetent, please punish him. "
