"Miss Xia, your body is still very weak. Why didn't you rest a bit more? Why did you come out?" Gu Zhong felt it was a bit impolite to call Xia Sizhu directly. In the end, he changed Xia Sizhu to Miss Xia.

"I slept for a long time, so I wanted to go out for a walk." Xia Sizhu smiled and said.

"You know you've been asleep for a long time. You know your own limitations." Gu Xin looked at Xia Sizhu with disdain from the side.

"I forgot to introduce, my name is Gu Zhong, and this is my younger brother's name …" Seeing that Gu Xin's heart was full of thorns, Gu Zhong came out to ease the atmosphere.

"I know, his name is Gu Xin. It's the first time I've seen a grown man marry a girl."

Seeing that Gu Xin intended to target her, Xia Sizhu couldn't help but retort back.

"This is all because of you. If it wasn't for you, I'd …" Gu Xin hated it the most when people used his name as an excuse, so he instantly stood up.

"What if it wasn't me?" Xia Sizhu's eyebrows rose as she bluntly replied.

"I'm not your parents," he said. "The matter of giving me a name was decided by them. It has nothing to do with me."

Xia Sizhu shrugged her shoulders with an innocent look on her face.

"You … It's so hard not to fight with women! " Gu Xin still wanted to say something, but he was beaten down by Gu Zhong with just a glance.

"Gu Zhong heard that I need to obtain the acknowledgement of all of you before I can become your master, right?"

Xia Sizhu cut straight to the point. She believed that her mother would definitely not leave her with a weak spot. There was definitely something wrong with that.

She had to get the approval of all of them before she had a chance to figure it out.

Maybe they really would be treasures, and it would make her eyes light up and not regret that she had ever owned one.

"Yes!" Gu Zhong replied. He didn't know what this woman wanted to do.

"Then can I trouble you to find everyone in the valley?"

Xia Si Zhu thought for a moment before replying.

"Okay." Gu Zhong roughly knew what this woman was going to do. He immediately ordered everyone to come back.

Very soon, everyone returned. Xia Sizhu looked at the two to three hundred people in front of her as her eyes flickered. "I'm sorry about the number of houses and the number of horses."

"Gu Zhong, this shouldn't be everyone, right?" The words that came out of Xia Sizhu's mouth didn't have the slightest hint of a question, only a confident answer.

"Indeed, not everyone has returned. Some people have left and haven't returned yet." Gu Zhong's eyes flickered. There was a trace of admiration in his eyes for Xia Sizhu's care.

Perhaps this woman was not so useless. Perhaps she would give everyone an accident.

Xia Sizhu looked at each and every one of them with either contempt, disdain, or disdain and smiled.

This smile lit up everyone's eyes. Soon after, Xia Sizhu's gaze turned cold and ruthless.

"I know that many of you are unhappy with me. You must be thinking that such a weak woman, how could she make our master angry.

"Since you guys are unhappy, uncomfortable and unconvinced, I'll give you guys a chance. Wait two or three more days. When I'm done with my business in the month, I'll play with you until the end."

The corners of Xia Sizhu's mouth curled up slightly. After a sweeping glance, she turned around and left, leaving behind a group of people who were either frightened by Xia Sizhu's coldness or disregarded her words. Or they were embarrassed by her valiance.

Gu Xin's face was completely red from Xia Sizhu's extremely fluent monthly incident. What woman could be so valiant? In front of so many men, she was probably the only one who could speak so smoothly about the monthly incident.

Xia Si Zhu's bone-piercing, ice-cold gaze caused Gu Zhong to have an understanding of Xia Si Zhu. Right now, Gu Zhong was looking forward to the arrival of Xia Si Zhu in two or three days.

As soon as Xia Sizhu returned to her room, Dongfang Ye followed closely behind her. He then slammed the door shut, the loud sound clearly showing his anger.

"What are you doing?" Xia Sizhu withdrew her head and looked at the angry Dongfang Ye with an innocent face.

She didn't seem to have offended this grandpa! Why was he so angry all of a sudden?

"Why didn't you negotiate with this grandpa before choosing to agree?" Dongfang Ye was very angry at Xia Sizhu's decision.

He would be sorry if they were just a show of their own, of no use, or if she was hurt.

"I forgot!" Xia Si Zhu scratched his head and laughed dryly.

"Dongfang Ye, I know you're worried about me, but I don't want to live under your protection for my whole life. This was left to me by my mother, so even if there's a dangerous place ahead of me, I have to give it a try."

Xia Sizhu spoke very indifferently, her eyes filled with determination.

"I can take a step back and let you go, but if you get injured, I will bring you back for treatment."

"Don't even think about resisting. If you resist, I will knock you out and take you away, so it's best if you don't let yourself get hurt. Otherwise, I will knock you out and take you away."

Knowing that Xia Sizhu had a stubborn personality, Dongfang Ye thought for a moment and said, "Regardless of the situation, I won't just sit by and watch Xia Sizhu get injured."

"Alright." Xia Sizhu nodded, and an agreement was formed.

"Oh, right. Did anything happen in the Southern Hill after I left?" Xia Sizhu suddenly recalled that if she were to leave now, the empress dowager would definitely be worried.

"After you left, I went to find you. I didn't find you, so I went to find the empress dowager. The empress dowager used her memories to draw a map for me. I brought a map to find you."

The Emperor also sent his imperial guards to help find you, and he even used the opening of the mountain as a reward. The crown prince and third prince also sent people to find you for the sake of the jade vein.

However, none of them were as fast as me. I was the first to find Ah Zhu. "

Dongfang Ye naturally left Dongfang Hao alone. He didn't feel any guilt at all.

"You stole all the horses in the Prime Minister's Estate, right? What do you need so many horses for? " Dongfang Ye thought of the stolen stables of the Prime Minister's Estate.

"It was taken along the way, not stolen. I needed horses for my journey, so I went to the stables and took them out. I kept two horses, and sold the rest to pay for the journey."

Xia Sizhu shrugged her shoulders. She really didn't do anything.

"As expected of the daughter-in-law that I've chosen. She's overbearing enough." Dongfang Ye couldn't help but laugh.

He could tell that A Zhu loved money. Luckily, he was rich. Otherwise, he might have been abducted by someone. However, this kind of A Zhu was very cute.

"Master, may I come in?" Ling Feng's voice came from the door.

"Come in." Dongfang Ye said to the door.

"Miss Xia, are you feeling better?" The moment Ling Feng entered, he saw Xia Sizhu. With her somewhat pale face, he could not help but ask with concern.

"Her name is Princess Hua-Yang." Dongfang Ye frowned. He was a bit unhappy. After hearing what Ling Feng had said about Miss Xia, he felt that Ah Zhu could still run away.

"Princess." When Ling Feng heard this, he respectfully called her 'consort'.

The corner of Xia Sizhu's mouth twitched. She hadn't even gotten married to Dongfang Ye yet. Wasn't it too early to call her 'wangfei'?

Dongfang Ye felt quite comfortable when Ling Feng called him 'consort', so the corner of his mouth couldn't help but slightly rise.

Ling Feng looked at his grandpa and knew that his grandpa had settled this matter with Xia Sizhu.

Ling Feng stole a glance at Xia Sizhu at the side. Although he had already decided to marry his wife, it was still hard to say whether he would be able to suppress the wangfei.
