Many common people who were lining the streets to welcome the triumphant soldiers saw Pingxi Hou rushing towards them. Of course, the horse did not hurt any of the common people.
?
But in the midst of the flying dust, Marquis Pingxi disappeared.
?
"I clearly saw Pingxi Hou coming this way, how come he suddenly disappeared?"
?
Some people were looking forward to getting close to Marquis Pingxi, and they all rushed over here for a while. However, when they arrived, they only saw the war horses that were left behind, but no trace of Marquis Pingxi.
?
"Marquis Pingxi is upstairs! It turns out the Marquis's wife is here too. The Marquis and his wife have such a good relationship!"
?
Someone with sharp eyes saw Xie Liuzheng and Pingxi Hou standing on the second floor of the restaurant, and that person immediately exclaimed.
?
Xie Liuzheng stood there awkwardly. She didn't expect Pingxi Hou to suddenly rush over. Seeing Pingxi Hou and her mother being so affectionate with each other, Xie Liuzheng felt relieved but embarrassed.
?
"Ahem! Mother, I suddenly remembered that I have an appointment with Manager Fang to discuss something. I won't disturb you any more. I'll leave first!"
?
As she spoke, she glanced at the Marquis of Pingxi, "My Lord, I leave my mother to you. Please send her back safely."
?
Pingxi Hou nodded slightly. He knew that Xie Liuzheng was making room for them.
?
Regarding this intelligent stepdaughter, Pingxi Hou sometimes couldn't help but wonder, how great it would be if Xie Liuzheng was his daughter?
?
Thinking of Zhou Paner, Zhou Zheng's eyes couldn't help but dim.
?
He was away at war, so he was naturally worried about Zhou Pan'er. "Xiangyu, I wonder how Pan'er is doing recently? Has she caused you any more trouble?"
?
Speaking of Zhou Pan'er, Xie Xiangyu thought it would be better to tell him what she had discovered. "My husband, even if you don't mention Zhou Pan'er, I still want to tell you one thing. Pan'er is very close to the Second Prince now."
?
"What? The second prince? The dissolute second prince? What on earth does Pan'er want to do? Why does she have to choose the second prince when she can choose anyone else?" Zhou Zheng was very surprised.
?
He couldn't understand how Zhou Pan'er had any connection with the second prince?
?
The emperor has several princes, and the second prince is the one Zhou Zheng despises the most. However, Zhou Paner took the initiative to approach the second prince. Zhou Zheng didn't believe that she had no other plans.
?
And he felt that Xiangyu must have something she didn't tell him.
?
"Xiangyu, I want to know what happened between Pan'er and the second prince? Don't hide it from me. I can find out about these things."
?
In response, Xie Xiangyu told him everything she knew, "My husband, I don't know what the Second Prince's purpose is, but I think the Second Prince has contact with Zhou Pan'er, and I'm worried that he is targeting you."
?
Others only saw that Pingxi Hou had made great military achievements. All the civil and military officials in the court looked up to him, and even His Majesty valued him. However, only Xie Xiangyu was worried that he might be in danger because of his high position.
?
Seeing her worried look, Zhou Zheng couldn't help but sigh, "Xiangyu, I will pay attention. Don't worry, I will see to it."
?
"But my husband, I'm still a little worried. Since the other party has contacted Zhou Pan'er, his purpose must be complicated. If he spreads everything, I'm worried..."
?
Xie Xiangyu said half of what she wanted to say but didn't finish.
?
But Zhou Zheng didn't want to continue. "Xiangyu, I finally got back. Are you sure you want to disturb our time together because of something like this?"
?
Xie Xiangyu shook her head, "Husband, let's not talk about these unhappy things. Have you gone to the palace to express your gratitude?"
?
"Not yet. I just came back and left the soldiers behind to come look for you."
?
Xie Xiangyu was so moved that she went forward and hugged him, "Zhou Zheng, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will punish you for disrespect?"
?
"It's better to be convicted. Then I can stay at home with you every day."
?
Seeing this, Xie Xiangyu smiled and flirted with Pingxi Hou for a while. She still urged Zhou Zheng to go to the palace to express his gratitude as soon as possible.
?
Zhou Zheng did not forget Xie Liuzheng's instructions just now, "I will go to the palace later. Now I have to send you back first. Liuzheng just said that I must send you back safely."
?
After Xie Liuzheng left, she was stopped by someone before she even reached the carriage.
?
"Miss Xie, long time no see! My young master is waiting for you in the teahouse box in front. Please move over there, Miss Xie."
?
Xie Liuzheng didn't react for a moment. Who was the young master the other party was talking about?
?
It was not until she received Chunyue's reminder that Xie Liuzheng realized that the person in front of her was Zhou Zimo's servant, and the young master he mentioned was the future champion marquis.
?
"Your master is waiting for me in the teahouse? Doesn't he want to go to the palace to express his gratitude?"
?
Xie Liuzheng was very surprised that Zhou Zimo would come to see her at this time.
?
However, considering that this man will be able to rise to prominence in no time after his contribution, Xie Liuzheng naturally does not want to offend him.
?
"You lead the way."
?
Hearing this, Shu Mo nodded and took Xie Liuzheng to a nearby teahouse.
?
After entering the box, Xie Liuzheng saw Zhou Zimo sitting inside waiting for her. There were two cups of tea in front of him, and the aroma of tea filled the air.
?
"Mr. Zhou is back, why did you specially ask me to meet here? Can't we meet when you return to the Marquis' Mansion later?
?
Xie Liuzheng felt that it was not good for them to have too much contact in private, but based on the principle of not offending Zhou Zimo, she kindly said something to him.
?
"Just a cup of tea. Miss Xie, are you not giving me this face?"
?
Since he said so, Xie Liuzheng naturally had no choice but to stay and drink tea with him.
?
Although Xie Liuzheng was not quite clear, she did not understand why Zhou Zimo insisted on having tea with her now?
?
"Does he like me?"
?
Before Xie Liuzheng could verify it, the door of the box was kicked open. "Zhou Zimo! You are having a tryst with a woman here. I want to see who is so shameless as to seduce you?"
?
As he said that, the man stepped forward and tried to pull Xie Liuzheng out from behind Zhou Zimo.
?
But Zhou Zimo did not give her the opportunity. He glanced around, and the guards behind the visitor had to stop. Now everyone in the capital knew that Marquis Pingxi and his son had made great contributions. They were just ordinary palace guards, so naturally they did not dare to offend Zhou Zimo at this time.
?
"Zhou Zimo, how dare you protect another woman?"
?
The person who came was arrogant and unreasonable. He immediately ordered the guards, "What are you still standing there for? Capture that bitch for me. She dared to seduce Master Zhou. I will never let her off easily!"
?
?
Xie Liuzheng felt that she had suffered an unprovoked disaster, but Zhou Zimo protected her behind him. Seeing that the princess was about to take action, Zhou Zimo hurriedly ordered Shumo, "Take her back quickly!"
?
As for Zhou Zimo, he opened his hands and stopped the princess and her guards.
?
"Stop! Princess, what do you want to talk to me about? If not, I will leave first. I still have to go to the palace to express my gratitude!"
?
After saying that, Zhou Zimo turned around swiftly.
