If you look closely, you can see the water on Han Ting's hands.

The small carriage was filled with a sweet scent, and Xu Jinyi tried hard to calm his breathing.

It was a quarter of an hour later when she got off the carriage.

Minister Xu's family had already been notified that the Regent's carriage was parked opposite, but no one got off.

Therefore, Minister Xu also had people secretly observing him at home.

After all, the Regent is a demon god. Seeing that he was not parked at the door of his house, he naturally would not go up to him and cause trouble.

When the servant reported that the person getting off the carriage was the eldest daughter, Minister Xu was stunned for a moment.

Only then did he remember that he had a biological daughter who had been away from home for many days.

A lot of things happened at home these days. Because of Xu Jingwan's matter, they all forgot about Xu Jinyi.

"You mean the eldest lady got off the Regent's carriage, then did you see who else was in the carriage?" For a moment, Minister Xu felt complicated, but also a little excited.

Thinking of the gossip he heard in the court yesterday, if the regent really rises in the future, and his biological daughter really has something to do with him, then he...

Minister Xu was in a hot mood, but also a little worried.

After all, everyone knows the Regent. His biological daughter is beautiful, but can she really attract the attention of a ruthless man like the Regent?

Moreover, getting on the boat of the Regent is like walking on a single-plank bridge. Once you cross it, the future will be smooth.

If one accidentally falls down, it would be a bottomless abyss.

However, fortune and misfortune are interdependent. Wealth and honor are right in front of him. How can he be willing to do so if he doesn't try?

Thinking of this, Minister Xu quickly walked to the gate and went to greet Xu Jinyi when he saw her.

"Xiao Jin is back? How was it? Did you have fun hanging out with the princess these days? Was that the regent who sent you back?"

Facing his father's warm welcome, Xu Jinyi's face was indifferent: "What? You don't welcome me back?"

Pretending not to see her father's stiff expression, Xu Jinyi continued, "That's right. With Xu Jingwan, a considerate, beautiful and generous daughter, of course you don't welcome me."

Minister Xu cursed in his heart, but when he glanced at the Regent's carriage outside, he had to greet him with a smile: "How could it be, you are our only daughter, and you will be the only lady in this mansion in the future. We didn't think it through before."

"Xiao Jin, is that the Regent in the carriage? You and him..."

Xu Jinyi's eyes gradually turned cold: "Father, what do you mean by this? Is this how a father slanders his daughter? The Regent and I are innocent, how could we stay in the same carriage and be criticized."

"Xu Jingwan is an adopted daughter, and she seduced her own brother. I can't do such an outrageous thing."

"It's really ironic when you think about it. When I first came back, you all said that Xu Jingwan was kind and generous, beautiful and noble, and knew the rules and etiquette best. Now listen to what people outside say about our Shangshu Mansion?"

"You guys still treat her like a treasure. From an adopted daughter, she became your daughter-in-law. If this gets out, aren't you afraid that people will laugh to death?"

Xu Qingyan was just about to go out with Xu Jingwan to buy things for the wedding when he heard these words.

Xu Qingyan's face instantly turned gloomy: "Shut up! Jingwan will be your sister-in-law in the future. We have no right to control what outsiders say. You are a member of our Xu family, how can you say such words to hurt your sister-in-law!"

Xu Jinyi looked at the two of them with disdain and did not miss the disgust in Xu Jingwan's eyes. This relationship was somewhat intriguing.

"Since you can do it, you are not afraid of what others say. Before I came back, you were legitimate siblings. Now you are going to become husband and wife. The thought of it makes me sick."

Xu Qingyan didn't want his beloved woman to be insulted like this, so he raised his hand to hit Xu Jinyi.

But she was kicked away by the maid beside her.

"Ahem... Who are you?! How dare you... ahem..."

Xu Jinyi stepped forward, raised his hand, and asked Bingxin to leave.

"I forgot to introduce you, Bingxin, the female guard given by the Regent. Now I am the princess's dance teacher. The Regent was worried about my situation in this family, so he specially gave Bingxin to me. Please take good care of me in the future."

Minister Xu's pupils shrank and he looked at Bing Xin with awe in his eyes.

In other words, regardless of whether the Regent sent his daughter back or not, his daughter had shown her face in front of the Regent.

It must be a different existence, otherwise why would he send guards?

It seems that even the Regent was fascinated by his beautiful daughter.

He glared at his eldest son who didn't know his place: "I see. I didn't expect that you, Xiaojin, are so talented in dancing that you can be the princess's teacher."

"Since the Regent thinks so highly of you, you must teach the princess well and never keep anything to yourself."

"This is Bing Xin, right? Your father will arrange a good place for you to live right away."

Xu Jingwan looked at Bingxin and clenched her hands unwillingly.

How could this be!

How could this bitch Xu Jinyi really catch the eye of the Regent!

Why does she, a country girl, have the right to do that?

Facing Xu Jinyi's half-smiley eyes, Xu Jingwan always felt as if her innermost thoughts were known.

"No need, she will live in my yard, in case a situation like the one just now happens and she can't save me in time."

Minister Xu looked embarrassed and yelled at his eldest son, "Why don't you apologize to your sister? Your sister is telling the truth. Everyone knows about your relationship with Wanwan. How many people laugh at our Shangshu Mansion?"

Seeing Xu Qingyan apologizing humbly, Xu Jingwan was so angry that her teeth were chattering.

I cursed Xu Qingyan in my heart as a waste.

Xu Jinyi has no time to watch their performance. She has been waking up after a short nap these past two days and is now very tired.

Besides, she was still sticky after all the fooling around in the carriage just now. She wanted to get off and take a good bath and have a good sleep.

"If you don't really want to apologize, then there's no need. I won't bother Big Brother and...Sister-in-law while they go shopping."

After returning to the room, Xu Jinyi asked the two maids in the yard to prepare hot water, and then said to Bing Xin.

"Go and keep an eye on Xu Jingwan these few nights. She is not someone who will accept her fate. Asking her to marry a disfigured man is probably more painful than killing her. I want to know what she is planning behind her back."

Although Bingxin is a guard assigned by Han Ting, she is absolutely loyal to Xu Jinyi.

Xu Jinyi asked her to go down and have a rest and report back if there was any news. After taking a bath, she fell asleep.

Xu Jingwan went out for a walk, and when she came back, the corners of her eyes were red, and she looked like she had suffered a great injustice.

"Wanwan, it's okay. After a while, no one will say anything." Xu Qingyan followed behind and coaxed her.

However, Xu Jingwan left him and went back to her room. She really couldn't stand being pointed at when walking with Xu Qingyan.

In the past, when she went out, everyone would only look at her with admiration and love.

But now, all I see are looks of contempt.
