It wasn't a big deal at the time, so Qin Miao didn't pay much attention to it either. One day, after getting close to Zhang's wife in Qingfeng Town, she happened to meet Xie Yan who had just returned home at the gate. The two of them went back to the inner courtyard together.

  Xie Yun's face... how can I put it, was really not very good, his eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot.

  "What's going on? What kind of trouble is this again......"

  Recently, I've also heard that Xie Yun often complains about the many trivial matters in the army, and in the capital city, there are frequent visitors and incidents that cause trouble. Not to mention others, the Zhang FuTai in Jiangdu City often causes him trouble as well.

  "It's nothing, just that Bao Feng kid... something happened." Xie Yan took over a cup of tea and gulped it down.

  Break wind

  "Is Po Feng always absent-minded lately, and sometimes can't even be seen?" Qin Miao pulled on his arm, asking carefully. If that's really the case, then it might have something to do with what Xiaoyu said.

  Xie Xuan raised her head and looked at Qin Miao with a suspicious gaze. "Don't look at me like that, I didn't plant anyone... what are you nervous about."

  Qin Miao listlessly shook off his arm and poured himself a cup of tea.

  "Is that the girl with telepathic powers?" Xie Yun pulled him into his own arms. That stinky little brat had been playing hide-and-seek for three days, and in all these years of following him, such a strange thing had never happened before. The steward of this wealthy family was always by the young masters' side, not leaving their shadow. He didn't seem like Cheng Ying, whose identity was special. Thinking about it, Xie Yun felt that Cheng Ying had also been acting strangely recently.

  "What mind-reading skills. You might as well say I've put a tapeworm in your belly." Qin Miao kissed him, her soft hands touching his eyebrows, and the wrinkles on his brow smoothed out a lot.

  "Sigh, it's better to stay at home. Can hug you and talk to you. Outside, it's really exhausting." Isn't that just exhausting? At this moment when the two kings are probing each other's bottom line, he is again the left and right arm of Yu Zhang Wang, and can't leave him anywhere.

  "Sigh, I'm asking you something. That Xiang... what did you end up doing with it?"

  Xie Yun was taken aback, with a clear "how can you still mention her" expression on his face.

  He held her even tighter, afraid that she would get angry with him again because of that woman. "After the matter was settled that day, I gave her a sum of money, enough for her to live on for the rest of her life. After that, I didn't pay attention to it anymore."

  The person in his arms was quietly thinking, seemingly with a thoughtful expression, and asked anxiously: "What, do you think I'm not treating her properly? That... Ah Nuan, she has a somewhat special identity..."

  The words hadn't been spoken yet, but his mouth had already been covered. "Don't say anything else, I don't want to hear it."

  She indeed never heard any words of defense for Xiangxiang from Xieyun's mouth again. After all, past events are not something that can be clearly distinguished with just a few words. Rationality is one thing, emotions are another. But this Xiangxiang was still lingering under her nose, making her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

  "Jade dew has seen Xingxiang. She must have gotten married." Qin Miaoru said frankly. "Your broken heart is probably because of this, that's why you're distracted and can't focus on your work."

  Xie Yun was taken aback, looking bewildered and trance-like... What is this... Po Feng? Qin Xiang?

  "What... what connection is this again?"

  Qin Miao patted him and said helplessly, "I didn't want to tell you, but now I have no choice." She blinked her sparkling eyes and said, "You've always suspected that you never actually touched Xiangxiang, right? You're correct, you really didn't. But someone did, and that person is Po Feng."

  "What!!!"

  "Ah ah ah, I knew you'd react like this. You said you didn't care about Xiangxiang, but still... giving you a green hat is still uncomfortable for you."

  Qin Miao twisted her body out of his arms and sat back in her own seat, a bit sulky. Although Xie Yan's reaction was somewhat expected, hearing it again with her own ears still hurt her once more.

  "Did...I...say something wrong again?" Xie Yun asked in a disheartened and hushed tone. The jade-like fingers slightly trembled as they touched the tip of Qin Miao's finger.

  Qin Miao saw him like this and her heart softened a bit more, she patted him on the back. "It's not that... after all... occasionally thinking about it in my heart, I still feel uncomfortable."

  "Never mind, never mind, let's not talk about her anymore. As long as she doesn't come to bother you again and doesn't interfere with us, that's all that matters." She curled up the corners of her mouth and laughed sarcastically.

  Xie Xuan hugged her into his arms, gently patting her back. "Don't be like this, An Nuan. I took care of you before because Prince Yu Zhang asked me to, after all she is the granddaughter of Liu Tai Fu, a descendant of a loyal minister. But I never thought that afterwards..."

  "Now I have also done my utmost in benevolence and righteousness; even if the prince blames me, it's not good to say more."

  Xie Xuan leaned against her temples, softly explaining to her. The warm embrace, the gentle voice, and the sweet light kiss. Qin Miao felt that she was being overly sentimental again. Perhaps it was because she truly possessed it, but in vain gave birth to anxious thoughts.

  So she tactfully changed the subject.

  "I want to ask you something." She raised her head from his arms.

  "What's wrong?"

  Qin Miao thought for a moment, then decided to speak up: "Is there anyone in the imperial court that you trust? I want to find someone to impeach Zhang... uh, no, it's that Zhang person."

  Cough, cough... Xie Yan was taken aback at first, then burst out laughing. "You're right, he's indeed a scoundrel. Do you have evidence now?"

  Qin Miaoyan nodded her head: "I've found some old things, but for now they're not yet mature enough." She then continued to tell Xie Yan about the matters of Tao Yao and Zhang Niangzi.

  "He... is so audacious!"

  Qin Miao pressed down on his hand that was about to rise high: "Speak softly, otherwise the maids outside will think we're quarreling."

  "The case of Tao Yao has been thoroughly investigated. As for Zhang's wife, she only knows that she was violated. But I think things are not so simple, so after everything is clear, I will put on a good show for Governor Zhang and let all the people in Xunyang come and see it. The governor, who always prides himself on being elegant and refined, also has a day when he debases himself."

  Just thinking about what was going to happen, she felt inexplicably excited, just like when she was a kid and found a few bugs while searching for them with someone, and would feel proud for several days.

  Xie Xuan poked her brow and hummed: "Little devil, what's the big deal? Tell me first, let your husband get a kick out of it."

  Look at her sparkling eyes due to excitement, a little cunning fox. Hmm... still a beautiful vixen!

  "You just watch, I won't let Master Hou down! Hehehe..."

  On the second day, Qin Miao woke up when the sun was already high in the sky. After a simple breakfast, she ordered someone to prepare her carriage and headed towards Qingfeng Town outside the city.
