Xia Zhengyan's expression changed a little, but he forced himself not to show it. It was just that the body was a little bit more righteous, and his tone carried a little seriousness: "Did Grand Princess Pingning really say that?"

Xia Weilan nodded her head, as if everything that she just said was true. Her face was extremely serious, so the onlookers watching him did not seem like she was lying.

"So it's like this …"

"Father, you must uphold justice for your daughter. If it wasn't for Xia Weilan, how could your daughter be like this?" Xia Yuying anxiously pulled on Xia Zhengyan's sleeve with an uneasy look on her face.

Xia Weilan smiled sweetly and sat down again. She knew that Xia Zhengyan would definitely have her own plans in mind, but right now, his thoughts were like a weighing scale. She just needed to add fuel to the fire, then he would definitely side with her.

"Actually, Father, you also know that Princess Pingning likes me now. If you starve your daughter to death, you wouldn't know when to ask." She spoke slowly.

's face became even uglier. This matter was not easy to handle, last time, she had already wronged Xia Yuying once for the sake of Grand Princess Ping Ning, so if she was wronged again, she would definitely feel even worse, but Hou Mansion did not have any real power, so if she was targeted by Grand Princess Ping Ning, then she would feel even worse.

However, Xia Yuying was unable to tell that this was the moment where both of them were in a dilemma.

"Father, you can't ignore your daughter." Xia Yuying felt even more wronged.

"Enough, what does this have to do with your Big Sister? It's just a small matter, why don't we just forget about it." Xia Zhengyan suddenly opened his mouth, scaring him.

In fact, in Xia Zhengyan's heart, he had always wanted to protect Xia Yuying, so he said that he would just let this matter go. He had time to waste time with her, but she did not, because, how could he let this matter go?

"Actually there is nothing much, it is just that Sisters is not sensible." Xia Weilan said with a smile.

Xia Zhengyan was pleasantly surprised, thinking that this daughter of hers was smart enough to not embarrass him and Xia Yuying.

Looking at the expression on his face that was rejoicing, the smile on Xia Weilan's face became even wider, and the color of the corners of his eyes became even more imposing: "It's just that Sisters has repeated this way several times, and this has already angered Grand Princess Ping Ning. If father does not punish his slightly, I'm afraid …"

Xia Weilan did not speak the rest of her words, but she believed that Xia Zhengyan definitely understood.

Seeing that there was already a bright moon and stars hanging in the sky outside, she stood up and said to the body, "Father, daughter and father's hearts are the same. We both hope that Hou Mansion can do well. It's getting late, so your daughter will be leaving first. "

After that, Xia Weilan did not even give Xia Zhengyan a chance to speak, and turned to leave.

With his back facing these two, Xia Weilan's heart felt a little happier. At least, it would feel a little better if she could just look at her unwell.

"Father, your daughter doesn't want to kneel in the ancestral hall. Your daughter was wronged, so what does this have to do with your daughter?" Xia Yuying hurriedly refused to speak as she heard Xia Zhengyan's words, her eyes shining with a look of disbelief. She couldn't imagine why her father, who had always doted on her, would become like this.

Xia Zhengyan sighed, he had no other choice, but to act like this, "Go."

"Father, daughter doesn't want it, daughter definitely doesn't want it." Xia Yuying started to panic. It seemed as if she had no choice but to kneel down, but how could she take it lying down?

A bit of anger appeared on Xia Zhengyan's face. Did she really think that he would stoop to such a state? Wasn't this out of helplessness? However, he couldn't display such a useless appearance right now. If that was the case, then where would his prestige be?

"This matter is decided. Tomorrow, you will go to the ancestral hall and kneel, not eating nor drinking." Xia Zhengyan no longer gave Xia Yuying a chance to speak. He walked out with large strides, not even sparing Xia Yuying a glance.

Xia Yuying sat paralyzed on the ground. She didn't understand, she didn't understand, why was it that she was the one at a disadvantage in recent times? This Xia Weilan, she absolutely could not live, as long as she lived for one day, she would not have a good life.

On the way back, Xia Weilan passed by Old Mistress's residence and unconsciously stopped in her tracks.

"Miss, it's already late, do you not know that the light in the room of Old Mistress is still on?" Yue Er said in detail.

"Let's go in and take a look." Xia Weilan said indifferently.

When the maidservant at the door saw Xia Weilan, just as he was about to lower his head to greet the body, he was blocked by Xia Weilan's hand.

The maidservant quietly left.

Xia Weilan looked at the Old Mistress Xia carefully looking at something on the bed, and the candle flame in the room was not very bright. Just now, when she was at the entrance, she had Yue Er take a bowl of broth from the Kitchen.

"I wonder if this account is correct." Old Mistress Xia's eyes were not good. She struggled to look at the accounts on the Accounts.

Suddenly, the fire in the room became brighter, and it seemed that even the room had warmed up a lot.

Only now did Old Mistress Xia raise her head, and didn't see the maidservant that normally served closely, but instead saw Xia Weilan.

"maidservant is too careless. How many more candles did Grandmother get?" Xia Weilan's labial margin hung a shallow Smiling and she was holding a bowl of soup in her hands.

"Why are you free to come?" Old Mistress Xia's aged face had a smile on it. She really loved this granddaughter of hers and extended her hand to pull her over.

Xia Weilan took the chance to sit down, her face revealing the loveliness of a little girl, her cheeks still had a bit of pink, she brought up the soup in her hand and carefully said: "Grandmother, what are you saying, for your granddaughter to come over and serve Grandmother, that is a matter of heaven and earth. Forget about that, your granddaughter had specially brewed this soup, it has been 3 to 8 hours now, the fire temperature is just barely good, why don't you try it first?"

Old Mistress Xia looked at her granddaughter with a complicated expression. She hadn't noticed this before because of her mother, but now that they were in contact, she realized that this granddaughter was actually treating her with care.

"Alright, alright, alright. I'll try it." Old Mistress Xia laughed as she spoke, the wrinkles on her face were about to pile up.

Xia Weilan's expression was complex, but she did not express it too clearly.
