Zhou Pan'er knelt straight down, and the people serving her were all very surprised, and many of them even couldn't help but feel pain for her.

?

But Zhou Paner just knelt there motionless.

?

"Father, I was deceived by Qin Shou and made such a big mistake. I beg you to have mercy on me because I lost my mother at a young age. I will never marry an unfilial man like Qin Shou!"

?

As Zhou Paner spoke, her tears could not stop falling and hit the ground.

?

Marquis Pingxi was somewhat moved. After all, this was his daughter whom he had held in the palm of his hand for so many years. He naturally did not want to see Pan'er suffer with Qin Shou.

?

Even if they are about to get married, even if they have already gotten married, Pingxi Hou has plenty of ways to get Zhou Pan'er out of it.

?

But he was heartbroken by Zhou Pan'er that day. Although she knew that he was against accepting Qin Shou as a son-in-law, Zhou Pan'er still forced him to accept the marriage, not to mention that she was pregnant.

?

Marquis Pingxi didn't mind having one more person in his mansion, but he was worried that Qin Shou would not give up the child, at least not yet have it known to everyone!

?

But once the news spreads, even someone as powerful as the Marquis of Pingxi will not be able to stop the people from talking about it.

?

By some time, wouldn’t the women in Pingxi Marquis’s Mansion be implicated by Zhou Pan’er?

?

Getting pregnant before marriage is not a glorious thing. Zhou Paner can still hide it now, but as the months go by, she can't hide it even if she wants to.

?

Seeing her father's eyes, Zhou Pan'er knew what he meant. She said without hesitation, "Father, don't worry, your daughter will definitely handle this matter as soon as possible."

?

Marquis Pingxi looked at her hesitantly, and finally said nothing. He waved his hand and asked her to go back to her own yard.

?

Zhou Paner stood up with the help of Zhiqi.

?

At this time, Xie Xiangyu stopped her, "Pan'er, logically speaking, I shouldn't get involved in this matter. After all, when you wanted to marry Qin Shou, I advised your father that Qin Shou was not a good match! It's a pity that no one listened to me..."

?

"I won't say anything else now. If you need any help from me, just come to me, or have your maid come to me."

?

Xie Xiangyu really couldn't interfere in this matter, but she had to show her stance, otherwise Zhou Zheng would think that she, as a stepmother, was doing nothing.

?

But Xie Xiangyu couldn’t care less whether Zhou Paner would come to her for help.

?

It is highly likely that Zhou Paner will not come to her for help.

?

However, Xie Xiangyu didn't want to create a rift between her and Zhou Zheng because of this stepdaughter's matter.

?

As expected, Zhou Paner smiled and refused, "Thank you for your kindness, mother. I will handle it properly and will not implicate the other sisters in the Marquis' Mansion."

?

Xie Xiangyu nodded and let her go back.

?

Pingxi Hou turned around and held her hand, "Madam, I am very pleased to see that you care so much about Pan'er! Pan'er is just a little bit spoiled and willful, but she is not a bad person. It's just because I have been fighting outside for many years and didn't educate her well, so she is like this."

?

"My dear husband, you fought on the battlefield to defend your country. As for the matters in the harem, you can leave them to me without any worries! But my dear husband, you also know that I am not Pan'er's biological mother after all. There are some things that others can say but I can't, so I can't interfere too much."

?

Xie Xiangyu stated her position, "Of course if Pan'er comes to me for help, I will naturally not refuse. My husband, could it be that in your heart, I am that petty-minded woman? If so, why did you marry me?"

?

Pingxi Hou also realized that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly apologized to his wife, "Madam, I was wrong in my words, please forgive me!"

?

Naturally, Xie Xiangyu would not become estranged from him because of this.

?

"I'm a stepmother, and it's easy to be misunderstood. As early as when I decided to marry you, I knew that it was difficult to be a stepmother! But I'm still willing to come to the capital for you!"

?

Xie Xiangyu said softly.

?

The Marquis of Pingxi was so moved that he hugged her tightly and said, "Madam, with a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for!"

?

Xie Liuzheng, who was not far away, saw how close her mother was to Pingxi Hou. She couldn't help but turn around and leave with relief without disturbing them.

?

But when she turned around, she saw someone looking at her, "Aren't you afraid that Zhou Pan'er will come back and target your mother and you?"

?

"She has no limits."

?

Zhou Zimo was worried that Xie Liuzheng wouldn't believe him, so he couldn't help but say one more thing. Of course, this would most likely make Xie Liuzheng mistakenly think that he was slandering Zhou Paner behind her back, but Zhou Zimo still said it.

?

He never liked to meddle in other people's business, but this time, Zhou Zimo still stepped forward to remind Xie Liuzheng.

?

Xie Liuzheng was a little surprised. In the past, her interactions with Zhou Zimo were limited to exchanging gifts, but after receiving the ancient sword, Zhou Zimo never refused any of her gifts.

?

At the same time, Zhou Zimo also gave her some small things from time to time. Although they were not valuable, Xie Liuzheng was very happy that at least she had a harmonious relationship with this future champion.

?

Anyway, she just wanted to target Zhou Paner at the beginning. If the other party didn't like someone, Xie Liuzheng would try her best to get them to stand on her side.

?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

?

His relationship with Guan Jun Hou is not that close now, but as long as the other party needs help from Zhou Paner, he will remain neutral.

?

"Thank you for the reminder, young master! I will never underestimate Zhou Pan'er."

?

Although he had never had any interaction with this young lady in his previous life, Xie Liuzheng had truly experienced how powerful Zhou Paner was in this life!

?

Especially since she and her mother almost died in the sea.

?

If they hadn't been lucky enough to be rescued by Marquis Pingxi, Xie Liuzheng would have been dead by now.

?

Having almost lost her life, Xie Liuzheng naturally would not underestimate Miss Zhou. Even without Zhou Zimo's reminder, she would pay special attention to Zhou Paner.

?

Especially now that Zhou Pan'er is pregnant with Qin Shou's child, but Qin Shou was expelled from the capital because of her.

?

Zhou Paner is so smart that it is not difficult for her to find out that Qin Wan was arranged by herself.

?

Xie Liuzheng would naturally not be surprised at what crazy thing this woman would do at that time.

?

Seeing that she had a plan in mind, Zhou Zimo didn't say much.

?

"Since you already know what's going on, I won't say much. If you need my help, just come and find me!"

?

After saying this, he left in a hurry.

?

Looking at his back, Xie Liuzheng realized that Zhou Zimo might have heard the news that Zhou Pan'er had returned home, and had rushed back to remind her to be careful of Zhou Pan'er.

?

Xie Liuzheng was a little surprised. "I didn't expect this Champion Marquis to be so considerate? Becoming his ally seems to have many benefits!"

?

At first, Xie Liuzheng never thought that she would get the protection of this champion marquis, but now it turns out that the other party has treated her as his own.
