Just then Xie Liuzheng came out and saw Pingxi Hou standing at the gate, looking at something.

?

"Lord Pingxi, are you going out? Then I'll arrange a carriage to take you there?"

?

Xie Liuzheng said earnestly, after all, this Pingxi Hou might very well become his stepfather. Although Xie Xiangyu had not yet agreed, Xie Liuzheng felt that the two of them were about to get married.

?

Xie Xiangyu will definitely agree.

?

In this regard, Xie Liuzheng naturally had to curry favor with Pingxi Hou, his future stepfather, not to mention that the other party's status and position were quite impressive.

?

Haven’t you seen that there have been mountains of visiting cards piled up at home these days? Those people are not coming for the Xie family, they are all coming for Marquis Pingxi.

?

In this regard, Xie Liuzheng did not want to offend anyone, so she politely rejected some posts from people she was familiar with, and even went to their homes to explain things in person.

?

As for those families that Xie Liuzheng was not so familiar with, or those that he felt there was no need to get close to, Xie Liuzheng would just let them go and not look at them.

?

Since the other party didn't receive a reply for a long time, he naturally understood the meaning.

?

Xie Liuzheng looked at Pingxi Hou who had taken off his armor in front of him. Even though he was standing there and doing nothing, it was very pleasing to the eye!

?

It’s a perfect match for my mother.

?

Moreover, if they had not met Marquis Pingxi, not only would their lives be in danger, but even the Xie family's reputation of hundreds of years would have been damaged.

?

Thinking of this, Xie Liuzheng naturally wanted to curry favor with Pingxi Hou.

?

Especially the daughter of Pingxi Marquis, now she has to lie low because of the concern for Pingxi Marquis.

?

Xie Liuzheng felt that he must entertain his great benefactor, Lord Pingxi, well.

?

Otherwise, she would have to face internal and external troubles. She only has two hands, and she can't take care of so many things even if she uses both hands.

?

But now it gives her a good buffer time.

?

Thinking of this, Xie Liuzheng looked at Pingxi Hou with a smile.

?

Seeing this, Pingxi Hou knew that the little girl was in trouble, so he asked directly, "Do you need my help?"

?

"Haha, Marquis Pingxi is wise." Xie Liuzheng didn't bother to be polite with him. Anyway, they would be a family sooner or later, and she felt that family members should not have different opinions.

?

"Well, I do have a small matter that I need your help with, Lord. I wonder if you are willing to help?"

?

Hearing her say this, Pingxi Hou nodded.

?

"As long as it is within my ability, I will help if I can."

?

He did not agree immediately. What if Xie Liuzheng asked him to do something extremely unethical? What if he agreed but could not do it?

?

If it was someone else, Zhou Zheng could still control her, but she happened to be Xie Xiangyu's daughter.

?

Zhou Zheng was counting on her to help him, so he naturally couldn't offend her. Besides, he also liked this clever girl very much.

?

Xie Liuzheng saw Zhou Zheng's worry, and she hurriedly said, "My Lord, please rest assured that my request will be something you can do, and it will not violate your principles and bottom line."

?

In response, Zhou Zheng nodded with relief.

?

"Going right now?"

?

Xie Liuzheng shook his head and said, "My Lord, you are too impatient. But this matter cannot be rushed. I will trouble you later."

?

Zhou Zheng nodded and left gracefully.

?

Xie Liuzheng smiled at his back. Actually, she didn't need Zhou Zheng's help, but since the other party offered it, she naturally climbed down the ladder.

?

Although she had not yet thought of what she wanted Pingxi Hou to do for her, she felt that there would definitely be a time in the future when she would need his help, so she would just agree to it first.

?

At the same time, Xie Liuzheng became more satisfied with this stepfather.

?

Compared with the joyful atmosphere in Xie's house, Qin Shou couldn't concentrate on reading at all these days.

?

Every day when he opened his eyes, he would go to see Qin Guangjin, fearing that something might happen to him and affect his future!

?

However, Qin Shou didn't know this and was told to Zhou Paner by the guards.

?

Zhou Pan'er immediately felt grateful to Qin Shou for being so filial.

?

"Mr. Qin's filial piety moved heaven and earth!"

?

The maidservant beside her also hurriedly echoed, "Master Qin is indeed a rare filial son! If the young lady marries him, Master Qin will definitely cherish her. It can be seen that the young lady is the most blessed person."

?

"That Xie Liuzheng actually dared to look down on Young Master Qin. Damn it!"

?

When Zhou Paner heard the maid mention Xie Liuzheng, the smile on her face instantly disappeared.

?

The maid knew that she had said the wrong thing, and she dared not even breathe, for fear that she would be punished by Zhou Paner.

?

Fortunately, Zhou Paner's mind was on Xie Liuzheng. She just gave her a fierce look and waved her hand to let the maid go.

?

The maid ran out as if escaping.

?

Seeing her like this, a maid outside the door asked curiously, "Fu Tao, why are you sweating so much?"

?

"Fu Xing, I was so scared, I just said the wrong thing..."

?

Fu Tao told her about what she had mentioned about Xie Liuzheng, and Fu Xing raised her eyebrows and immediately reminded her.

?

"Good sister, don't talk nonsense in the future. The young lady is in a good mood today, otherwise you will be beaten."

?

They were all elderly people serving Zhou Pan'er, and they knew the young lady's temper very well.

?

In the past, many maids had said the wrong things and were sold out or beaten to death by the young mistresses.

?

Fu Tao and Fu Xing also had said the wrong thing before, but because they were sent by the old lady to serve Zhou Pan'er, they did not get into trouble.

?

Fu Tao knew very well that she had saved her life today.

?

"Sister Fuxing, I'll remember this and I will never talk nonsense again!"

?

In response, Fu Xing nodded and comforted her, "Okay, just be careful and careful. Okay, I left some longevity cakes for you, go to the kitchenette and eat them."

?

Fu Xing also knew that Fu Tao was scared this time, and she would definitely not speak nonsense again next time.

?

After entering, Fu Xing lowered her head, put down her things and left. She didn't dare to look at Zhou Paner. She always felt that the young lady's eyes had changed since she fell into the water last time and woke up.

?

And my temper has also become much worse.

?

But Fu Xing knew her identity and did not dare to comment on her master's affairs, so even though she had doubts in her heart, she never mentioned it to anyone.

?

She didn't even mention Fu Tao.

?

But just as Fu Xing took a step forward, he heard Zhou Paner's sneer in his ear.

?

"Fuxing, how do you think I should teach Futao a lesson? She always says things that make me unhappy. Do you think I should pull out her tongue so that she can no longer speak?"

?

Hearing this, Fu Xing was shocked and she quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

?

"Miss, calm down! Fu Tao didn't mean what she said. I will definitely discipline her. I beg you to forgive her this time!"

?

In the face of Fu Xing's plea for mercy, Zhou Pan'er gave her a cruel smile.

?

"Fu Xing, you and Fu Tao have a close sisterly relationship? Otherwise, why don't you take the punishment on her behalf?"

?

For a moment, Fu Xing's body trembled constantly. She didn't know why the young lady suddenly said that.

?

She took good care of Futao, but compared to her own life, she knew what was more important.
