Xia Caixi gritted her teeth as she tried to stand up. Unexpectedly, her wound was ripped apart, and just as she was about to fall to the ground, a figure swiftly caught her falling body.

"I don't need you to care. You should take care of Third Sister." Seeing the newcomer, the tears of grievance in Xia Caixi's eyes uncontrollably flowed down. Dongfang Li's actions today caused her originally uneasy heart to become even more uneasy.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Let this crown prince see. Where are the injuries?" Dong Fang Li's seemingly reprimanding words were filled with pity and heartache.

Xia Caixi's face was filled with bashfulness. In ancient times, a woman's foot was equal to a woman's innocence. If one were to touch a woman's foot, it was only right to marry her as an imperial concubine.

Xia Caixi threw a provocative look at Xia Sizhu. She knew that Big Brother Li loved her.

Xia Sizhu indifferently glanced at him, her mood not fluctuating in the slightest. She also didn't like Dongfang Li, so what was the point of showing off to her.

"Little beauty, are you still going to marry a man with different thoughts and intentions? You might as well choose this prince. This prince will definitely treat this little beauty with all his heart. " Xi Ling Yan threw a flirtatious look at Xia Sizhu and said in a slightly shy manner.

Feeling everyone's strange gazes, three black lines slid down Xia Sizhu's forehead.

"Scram!" Xia Sizhu cursed without a trace of politeness.

One mind? I'll have to trouble His Highness the Crown Prince to change his expression and address her in a different way.

"Little Mei, you look so good when you breathe!" Xi Ling Yan looked at the angry Xia Sizhu with a face full of smiles.

Towards the flattery of the Western Tomb Flame, Xia Sizhu didn't even spare it a glance as she completely ignored it.

"Where's the imperial physician? Get the imperial physician to come over. " Dongfang Li looked at Xia Caixi's leg and realized that it was quite heavily injured. Her brows tightened as a hint of anxiety flashed through her eyes.

Not long after, the imperial physician arrived and began to examine Xia Caixi's wounds. Xia Sizhu felt that it was too boring, so she turned and left.

Looking at the empty road, Xia Sizhu was in trouble. Xia Wei had long since left with Madame Liu because he was worried that she might be frightened and affect her baby.

Without a carriage, the crown prince would definitely send her back. Xia Caisi's actions could not only create a chance for Xia Caixi and the crown prince, but also piss her off.

"This crown prince has a car, so this little beauty is willing to condescend to sit on it." Xi Ling Yan walked over with a smile on his face.

Xi Ling Yan was the Prince of Xi Ling and she was the Crown Princess of Nanling Country. It would be best if she didn't have too much to do with Xi Ling Yan and let the crime of colluding with the country be suppressed.

Just as Xia Sizhu was about to refuse, she was interrupted by Dongfang Li's angry voice.

"Xia Sizhu, don't forget that you are this crown prince's future princess consort. Don't be so unclear about other men all the time." Dongfang Li's tone was as though Xia Sizhu had truly done something to let him down.

"As my future husband, shouldn't I pay attention to the distance between me and my other daughters?" Xia Si Zhu looked at Dong Fang Li and said with a cold smile.

How could he not know where she was, and why did he speak of her so righteously? Who gave him face, and how could he not know the shame!

"Are you going or not? "If you don't leave, I'll leave." Xia Si Zhu turned his head and said to Xi Ling Yan.

She changed her mind. Dong Fang Li, I thought you didn't want me and the other men to be confused? [I don't know what's wrong with you, but what can you do to me!]

"Go, of course we'll go." The corners of Xi Ling Yan's mouth lifted as he threw a pleased smile at Dong Fang Li, then entered the carriage.

As Dongfang Li watched the horse carriage gradually get farther and farther away, anger burned in her heart. She hooted and unconsciously increased the force of her grip on Xia Caixi's hand.

Ah!" Xia Caixi screamed out loud from being pinched by Dongfang Li.

"Little girl, do I hurt you? I'll rub it for you. " Dong Fang Li looked at Xia Caixi's red hands and then looked at Xia Caixi, who did not dare to shed a tear. Her heart was filled with guilt.

Her large hands gently caressed Xia Caixi's hands as her eyes filled with tenderness. This sudden tenderness caused tears of happiness to well up in Xia Caixi's eyes.

"Sizhu, come here." As soon as Xia Sizhu returned to the manor, she was stopped by Xia Wei.

"What is it?" Xia Si Zhu stopped in his tracks, thinking to himself, what is Xia Wei planning to do now?

"Today's matter is all thanks to you." Xia Si Zhu's indifferent words caused Xia Wei's face to turn pale again. Just as Xia Si Zhu thought that Hawaii was about to go berserk, Xia Wei's tone suddenly softened.

Although Xia Wei didn't express his thanks, his intention had arrived.

Xia Si Zhu looked at the embarrassed Xia Wei and thought to himself, "Did the sun rise from the west today?" Xia Wei actually expressed his thanks to her.

"What's the use of saying 'thank god'?" I can't be a meal, either. Xia Sizhu didn't say the last few words, but only muttered them in her heart.

"What do you want?" Xia Wei heard the other side of Xia Sizhu's voice and spoke in a very rich tone.

The carriage had already reported to him earlier. If it wasn't for Xia Sizhu protecting her when she jumped off the carriage, the unborn child in Aunt Liu's stomach might not have survived.

It was fine for him to give Xia Sisi bamboo points as well, as long as it wasn't too excessive.

"I want half of the power." She felt that the Xia Wei of today was exceptionally gentle.

"You can ask Auntie Liu about this and see if she's willing to split the power of the family with you." He had heard from the servants that Rou-Er and his third daughter were very close, so he told her to ask Rou-Er for herself. As long as Rou-Er was willing, he could give her half.

"Of course I do." Xia Wei had just finished speaking when Aunt Liu, supported by a servant, walked over.

"Didn't I tell you not to move?" Xia Wei grabbed Aunt Liu by the arm and looked at her flat stomach with a warm expression.

"Your humble concubine came out to discuss the matter with Master. Your humble concubine thought for a moment, and felt that I alone could manage all the shops and expenses in the Prime Minister's Estate.

Therefore, I wish to speak with the old master. I hope that the old master can agree that the Third Miss can help me manage this huge family business. The Third Miss has saved my humble concubine before, and my humble concubine believes in her. "

"If that's the case, then you and your aunt will manage the family business together. Don't let your aunt be tired out, okay?" Xia Wei thought for a moment, then agreed.

"Alright." Xia Sizhu stared blankly. She was surprised that Xia Wei had agreed so readily.

Xia Wei had agreed so readily, only because Aunt Liu was pregnant. Firstly, he wanted her to be happy, and secondly, the pregnant woman couldn't work too hard, which was why he agreed so readily.

"Father, how can you agree? "Father gave Aunt Liu the authority of being the housekeeper. Si'er had nothing to say, but why did Father give half of the authority to be the housekeeper? What qualifications does she have, and what abilities does she have to manage this family business?" Xia Caisi pointed at Xia Sizhu's nose with a face full of hatred.

It was all because of them, the two of them, that their mother was injured by their father and was still unconscious.

"Get back here, when I need your permission for my work." Xia Wei frowned. Xia Caisi's words, regardless of whether it was due to her enmity towards Xia Sizhu or her disdain for her, had also put Xia Wei in an awkward position.

Xia Caisi was Xia Wei's daughter, and being criticized and questioned by her own daughter, the dignified Prime Minister of the Southern Tomb, Xia Wei was naturally displeased.

"Dad, Sis didn't mean that. It's just that Third Sister doesn't know anything. Isn't it too reckless to just let Third Sister's housekeeper take care of things like this?" Xia Caisi knew that her words just now were a little inappropriate, hence she changed her tone to ask.

"Second Miss, don't worry. This lowly concubine will teach Third Miss how to be the housekeeper. After all, in the Prime Minister's Estate, aside from the Old Master, I only have one person I can trust." Aunt Liu's eyes showed ridicule and caution.

Xia Caisi's face darkened at Aunt Liu's words.

"Then it's decided. However, if something happens to Rou-Er, you have to take full responsibility for it." Xia Wei agreed.

"Second Miss, the First Madam has woken up." Xia Caisi wanted to say something, but a maid hastily walked over.
