Shangshu Mansion, Xia Liang's boudoir.
"Oh! Miss, why do you have some bruises on your neck?! This... how did you get it?" Chuncao waited for Xia Liang to get up, and when she saw the marks on her neck, she screamed in surprise.
Xia Liang rubbed her neck and said lightly, "I had a nightmare yesterday and accidentally pinched myself."
"Ah!" Chuncao was startled by her lady's explanation, paused for a moment before stammering, "Miss... you are having a nightmare, should you tell Mrs. Madam so that a master can come and see it? "
"No need." Xia Liang waved her hands, looked at Chuncao, and said earnestly, "Don't tell mother and father, it will make them worry, I'm fine. Just get some makeup and powder to cover it up."
"Yes." Chuncao's eyes were a little worried, but she still bowed slightly and agreed.
After Xia Liang cleaned up and washed, he went to Haitang Garden to pay his respects to his mother.
"Liangliang, come and let my mother take a look. Did you rest well yesterday? Is there any discomfort in your body?" Mrs. Wang also finished washing up. Seeing her coming, she immediately took her hand and expressed concern. A series of questions.
"Mother, don't worry. I'm in good health." Xia Liang smiled at Wang Shi, and her tone was a little softer, "Mother has to ask several times every day."
"The serious illness you had before really scared my mother to death." Mrs. Wang tapped her forehead lightly with her hand, and said angrily, "Ask me a few more questions, I still hate my mother's long-winded words."
"Daughter doesn't dare, she knows that mother cares about me." Xia Liang grabbed Wang's arm and said with a little affection.
"You! Let's have a conversation with your maid here. After a while, when your brother comes over, we will have dinner with your mother." Wang looked at her dotingly, and ordered the maid to make the crystal dumplings that Xia Liang likes in the kitchen. .
After her daughter recovered from her serious illness, her temperament became calmer and calmer, and she was no longer as cowardly as before. Wang was very happy.
It's just that I feel that my daughter lacks the coquettish attitude of a younger daughter. Sometimes looking at Xia Liang, I am really happy and sad.
She thought in her heart that when her daughter was grown up, it was time to get married. Fortunately, the child from Shaoyang, the sister-in-law's family she had a crush on, knew everything.
He grew up with his own daughter and has a close relationship. Even if his daughter is married, she should not be wronged.
"Mother, has dad been socializing a lot these days?" Xia Liang asked after sitting down.
"Don't mention your father to me!" When Wang Shi heard her say this, she immediately became angry, and said in a somewhat aggressive tone,
"I don't know what's going on recently! When I come back so late every day, my body smells of alcohol and makeup. I asked him if he went to drink flower wine, but he still didn't admit it. I was so mad!..."
When Wang said this, she stopped immediately, and realized that it was really wrong to say this to her daughter, so she added,
"Daughter, don't worry about it. Your father is the Minister of the Household Department. Where is this position? It's normal for officials to go out to socialize and play tricks every now and then."
After speaking, Wang sighed again, she was not really angry in her heart, she was not an ignorant woman, so she naturally knew the difficulties of being an official.
My master is in a high position, although his temperament is not very tactful, but he is able to handle it with ease, and he is even more loyal to the emperor, otherwise he would not have come to this point, but it is inevitable, sometimes, he just cannot help himself.
Xia Yuanzheng only had a first wife like Wang's, and there were no concubines in the mansion. The husband and wife had a deep affection and had both children. It can be said that the family is harmonious and happy, which is very rare.
Since Xia Liang came to this world for two months, she has received much care and love, enjoyed the warmth of her family, and naturally cared about her family very much in her heart.
However, after two months, Xia Yuanzheng will be imprisoned for collaborating with the enemy and treason, and his family will be ransacked. Xia Liang's first main task in this world is to resolve this catastrophe.
9957 said that because she owed a thousand points, she only provided her with the host's memory and related information. Without the background of this world's data, even the task is difficult.
Moreover, the tasks in this world are not given at once, but will automatically activate other tasks at any time as the plot unfolds!
9957 said that apart from the main quest, there will be many side quests. If they are all completed, it will be enough for her to repay most of her points after staying until the end of this world.
Today's Xia Liang, in addition to earning points, has another concern in his heart, which is to find Xia Min, so naturally he has no opinion on staying in this world for a long time.
But now, the most urgent task is to find out why his father was convicted.
Since Xia Liang came here for two months, she also knows something about her father.
Xia Yuanzheng was definitely not a treacherous villain, and he was also loyal to the emperor. Xia Liang didn't believe him at all when he was said to be collaborating with the enemy and treason, thinking that someone must frame him before he would be convicted.
Therefore, when Xia Yuan was going out frequently in the past few days, Xia Liang tried to follow, trying to find some useful information, and only then did the scene in Fairy Workshop last night.
Xia Liang was naturally very concerned about the masked man he met yesterday.
On the one hand, he almost died in the hands of the other party, and on the other hand, he felt that the other party's identity must not be simple, and the other party was obviously looking for news.
And his father was drinking with the current Prince Rui inside, which made Xia Liang even have some bad guesses in his heart.
Xia Liang has been thinking about it, if he still can't find any useful information, should he have a frank and honest talk with his father, and ask his father to be more careful, even if he is suspected, it is better than ransacking his family and exterminating his family.
...
At night, Fairy Fairy.
At the same place, Xia Yuan was being accompanied by two officials, his face turned pale again, but this time, there was no Prince Rui Bailixi.
Xia Liang cautiously came to the third floor again, thought about it, tried to push the room next door, but found that it couldn't be pushed away, so he chose to lie on the window and listen to the movement inside.
However, when she was listening seriously, a figure imprisoned her from behind quietly, covered her mouth, and whispered in her ear,
"Little wild cat, we meet again."
Hearing this, Xia Liang stopped struggling, it was the man from yesterday.
Yesterday's facts proved that she couldn't beat the opponent even if she tried her best. Since resistance was useless, Xia Liang didn't waste her energy, and if she really wanted to kill her, the opponent did it yesterday.
"So cute." Seeing that she stopped struggling, Bai Lijue praised her with a smile.
Then he dragged her, used his internal force to shake open the door next door, walked in, and closed it instantly.
Bai Lijue put her on the chair in the room, then leaned close to her, pinched her chin, forced her to look up, stared into her eyes, and asked oppressively,
"I'm curious, what is the reason for a daughter to come out and stare at her father drinking flower wine every day? Huh?"
