Xia said slowly: "A child of only five years old is just like an adult."

"She is literate and understands etiquette, and even understands things that many adults understand."

As soon as Xia's words came out, Zhou Jingxuan was overjoyed. Sure enough, there was something wrong with her.

If Zhou Jingxuan didn't know who the second young lady in Xia's mouth was, he would never associate her with the original Jiang Si based on these two sentences.

Xia continued: "The second young lady is extremely smart. She often leaves the house secretly. Life in the yard is difficult because the second young lady brings back things from outside."

"I once heard from my aunt that she said the second young lady is so smart and she cannot let the madam know about it."

"She cried and said that if the madam knew about it, she would definitely not let the second lady go."

"I was thinking at that time that if a child as smart as Miss Er was in my family, I would definitely be very happy."

"When the master finds out, he will definitely love the second young lady very much, but I heard the second young lady say that she understands what my aunt means and reassures my aunt."

"I didn't understand it at the time, but later I found out that the second lady was hiding her clumsiness."

"But I'm just a rough girl from the outer courtyard, and I don't see the second lady very often."

"Later I saved enough money and left the house."

"A maid like me has no chance of coming into contact with the second young lady. I only see a few faces of her."

"Later I heard that the second young lady became a princess. It is natural for someone as smart as the second young lady to become a princess."

The Xia family was originally from the lowest level and didn't know much about it. After leaving the Jiang family, it became more difficult to get in touch with anything. What she did know were the rumors that had gone bad.

Zhou Jingxuan glanced at Mr. Xia, and his voice was cold and somewhat doubtful: "That's not right!"

Xia was stunned for a moment, and she subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Jingxuan said slowly: "Is this second lady you are talking about Jiang Si?"

Mrs. Xia nodded: "Yes, are there still a few second ladies?"

"I remember that there were only two young ladies in the Jiang family."

Mrs. Xia was a little confused and even thought that Zhou Jingxuan had found the wrong person, or that he had the same name.

She stumbled and asked, "Did you find the wrong one?"

Zhou Jingxuan shook his head: "It can't be wrong. We came to see you precisely because we found out that you had stayed at Jiang's house for a while."

Xia looked at Zhou Jingxuan in confusion: "Then tell me what's wrong?"

Seeing Xia's question, Zhou Jingxuan immediately said: "The second young lady I heard is extremely mediocre, let alone smart."

"She was sent to marry as a substitute because she was not welcomed by the Jiang family."

"If he is really the smart person you say, how could he be like this?"

Zhou Jingxuan's words were not rigorous, but Xia didn't think so much at all. She shook her head: "The second young lady is not mediocre."

"She is only five or six years old and can start a business, and she does it like a charm!"

After speaking, she paused before continuing: "I discovered this by accident. Even my aunt didn't know about it."

"I am a rough girl in the outer courtyard, and my presence is extremely low. Naturally, the masters won't care."

"I don't know what I ate that night. My whole body was so itchy that I couldn't sleep. Low-class people like us naturally don't have any medicine prepared. I really couldn't sleep so I went outside to enjoy the cold wind."

"It's a coincidence that I happened to meet the second young lady."

"Under the moonlight, there was a tall man standing in front of her. The man was half-kneeling in front of her and said that he had done what you asked and made a lot of money."

Xia said slowly: "Isn't that what business is when you make a lot of money? How else can you make a lot of money besides doing business."

"My aunt's status in the mansion is not high, and there is only one maid beside the second young lady."

"That man is probably Second Young Lady's servant outside."

"To be able to get that man to do things for her at such a young age, I'm afraid the second lady is not a god from heaven."

After speaking, Xia raised her eyes and glanced at Zhou Jingxuan: "Sir, what I said is all the truth."

"It's just that I saved up enough money to redeem myself and left the Jiang family."

"And I'm a slave in the outer courtyard, so that's all I know."

Xia said it sincerely, not like lying at all.

Realizing that Xia could not know more, Zhou Jingxuan gave Xia the money and stood up to leave.

He thought the source should still be in Liangzhou, but Xiao Mo suddenly crossed his mind.

Xiao Mo seemed to be an ordinary person, but Wei Qing wanted him by name.

There's definitely something special about him.

After much deliberation, Zhou Jingxuan decided to start with Xiao Mo.

Naturally, he didn't believe what Xiao Mo said from his own mouth, so he had to start with the people around Xiao Mo.

Zhou Jingxuan thought of Qianqian whom Xiao Mo once mentioned. This person should be very important to Xiao Mo.

Zhou Jingxuan seemed to be in a fog here, while other people in the capital began to make moves.

Jiang Yue returned to the capital. She gave birth to a son and was sitting opposite King Cheng.

She was wearing plain clothes and her hair was tied up with a hairpin, which gave her a bit of a flair for fame and fortune.

But the look in her eyes completely gave her away.

She picked up the tea in front of her and took a sip, waiting for King Cheng to speak first.

Today's capital is even more chaotic than before. Jiang Yue knows something, but who is more qualified to have her child in terms of blood.

She doesn't accept her fate. Since she can come to this world, it proves that she is special.

And Jiang Si?

Jiang Yue thought of Jiang Si, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. According to reliable information, Jiang Si can't protect herself now.

The water in the capital was very muddy, and she had to find a strong alliance, such as King Cheng in front of her.

Jiang Yue was unwilling to speak first and expose her trump card.

Instead, he waited for King Cheng to speak.

King Cheng naturally understood Jiang Yue's thoughts, and he came here only after receiving the news.

He didn't succeed last time, so he had to be more careful this time.

Now that Zhou Jinghan is unconscious, Zhou Jingxuan will naturally have someone to trip him up. The safest thing for him now is to cooperate with Jiang Yue.

This gives you one more trump card.

King Cheng was never willing to stay in the fiefdom forever.

Back then, he was only slightly inferior to Zhou Jinyan. Now that Zhou Jinyan is dead, if Zhou Jinghan can take this position, why can't he become the king?

He glanced at Jiang Yue and sneered in his heart. He might as well coax this woman first. Her child is the blood of the first prince and the pure blood of the Zhou family.

The child is still young now. If he is promoted to a higher position and he controls the situation behind the scenes, what difference does it make?

He holds military power, is he still afraid of these orphans and widowed mother?

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face: "Crown Princess..."

"Oh, no, she should be called Miss Jiang now."

"Did you really keep what you said when I left the capital?"

Jiang Yue raised her eyes and looked at King Cheng, with a gentle smile on her face: "Since the prince still remembers what he said at the beginning, it is true."
