"Miss, Miss, it's bad, it's bad."

Just after lunch, Xiao Qing, who was sitting on the hammock with one leg dangling in front of her, reading a book and waiting for Li'er to take the fruits, suddenly heard the little girl's call from outside.

After which, Riko took out a plate of fruit and ran over hurriedly. "Miss, it's bad. Something has happened."

"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?" Xiao Qing Qing quickly sat up and excitedly snatched the plate away from her bosom. Looking at the four to five pieces of lemon inside, she said nervously: "I say, Li Er, can you be more careful? I can only eat these few pieces of meat for half a month, is it easy for me to eat them? "If you throw these pieces on the ground for me again, I'll cry. I'll tell you."

"Ahh, little miss, why are you still thinking about eating?" Riko stomped her foot in anxiety.

Xiao Qingran reached out her hand and took a bite. That sour and sweet feeling spread throughout her mouth instantly. Even the tip of her tongue was tainted with the taste of the taste, causing her to heave a sigh of relief: "Yeah, that's the taste, I missed you so much."

"Miss!"

"Alright, alright. You can speak, speak." Xiao Qing`er waved her hands nonchalantly and lay back on the hammock. She held the fruit plate in her arms and picked up another piece.

"Miss, let me tell you. I just heard from outside that someone found a list hanging in front of the public on the wall of the city this morning. That list is actually …"

"The court official's corrupt record?" Xiao Qing raised her eyebrows.

Riko was stunned before her voice suddenly rose three inches higher, "Miss, you know? "Could it be that you did that?!"

"So unexpected?" Xiao Qing looked at the last three pieces of lemon on the plate and sighed again.

This little girl was being too strict. If it really didn't work out, she would have to go out tonight to search for food.

"It's not an accident …" It was actually quite unexpected … "Oh, no." Riko was so shocked that her words became incoherent. Finally, she stamped her feet and asked, "Miss, why did you do that?"

Wasn't that the dark booklet in the Residence of Han?

This meant that the young mistress had purposely let Liu Suifeng get the news out during the holidays, and that this was the reason why she left the Manor last night?

But this was too hard to understand, the things on this booklet had taken Miss a lot of effort to accumulate.

"Previously, the Crown Prince asked you to think of a way to give this book to him, yet you openly placed it on top of the city gate, causing such a big commotion. If the Crown Prince knew, you …"

"How am I?" Xiao Qing Luan chuckled, "I've been in private with Su Qianhan not one or two times these days. His schemes before have been disrupted by me. Even if that man doesn't have any evidence, he must have started suspecting me."

"In that case, I might as well do a few more big votes before he completely drags me out of the water." Xiao Qingyi pursed her lips, her voice awe-inspiring: "That dark booklet is a ticking time bomb no matter where it is stored."

"Since Su Qianxing has his eyes on it, I might as well destroy it. How great is this situation now. It would be killing two birds with one stone if we can save our crown prince's life and reduce the number of disasters in the court."

"But the princess of the crown prince's household, how are you going to explain this?" Riko's face turned bitter as she looked worried.

"There's nothing to explain. Anyway, I won't admit that I did it." Xiao Qing Ran took another piece of lemon and stuffed it into her mouth. She raised her eyebrows as if to act like a scoundrel: "Like I said, without certain evidence, he won't easily convict me. This period of time is beneficial to our activities."

Riko pursed her lips and said worriedly, "Then Miss should have thought of a way out in advance."

If the crown prince knew that everything that had happened was done by the young miss, he would definitely not care about these years of friendship. At that time, if he used his power to bully the young miss, he would be in danger.

"Don't worry, he won't touch me this time." Xiao Qingyan took a bite and cut the lemon in two halves. A cold and dark light flashed through her eyes.

Riko did not understand what she meant by 'this time' and did not wait to ask.

On the other side, a servant came to deliver a message saying 'Master wishes to see Third Miss'.

Although Xiao Qing Ran didn't know what Xiao Zhi was going to do, she didn't think it was a good thing.

"If xiaojie doesn't want to go, I will help xiaojie go back there." Riko said directly in front of the servant who came to deliver the message.

Now that the young mistress no longer planned to hide it, he could also withdraw after so many years of superficial skills.

Xiao Qing's eyes narrowed as she suddenly thought of something. She pursed her lips, "No, I'll go."

She clapped her hands and got up from the hammock. She then handed the empty fruit plate back to Riko and ordered, "For dinner, I want to eat sweet and sour rice balls and sweet and sour fish. I also want a bowl of white porridge."

"Yes." Riko instinctively nodded before quickly reacting, "Eh? Miss, you can't eat sour food anymore after eating lemon today... "Miss!"

Xiao Qing Ran quickly took two steps out of the courtyard and pretended that she didn't hear the girl's yell. She curled her lips and used her little finger to dig at her ear: "That girl is really, really long-winded."

The servant followed behind her, not daring to utter a single word from beginning to end.

Third Miss' demeanor and words were completely different from before. Moreover, she had just taken down the Second Miss not long ago. Although no one mentioned it on the surface, they all knew it very well.

Of course, Xiao Qing was happy that they knew. As long as these people knew that they were not to be trifled with, they would not cause trouble for themselves in the future.

Today, Xiao Zhi did not see her in the study, but in the main hall.

As soon as Xiao Qing stepped into the hall, the door was immediately closed by the servants outside.

The sunlight in the hall was somewhat blocked, making it seem as if the atmosphere in the hall had also become much more gloomy.

However, Xiao Qing Qing did not care about this.

She took two steps forward and openly stood in the middle of the hall. "I wonder why Lord Father called me here?"

Xiao Zhi didn't say anything and only stared at her, as if he wanted to use his gaze to shoot a few holes into her body.

Xiao Zhi did not say anything, and neither did she.

It was the man who needed to worry.

After a while, Xiao Zhi finally could not help but ask, "Have you heard about what happened outside today?"

Xiao Qingyi raised her eyebrows and pretended to be stupid: "Outside? "What's going on outside?"

Xiao Zhi's eyelids jumped, "You don't know?"

Xiao Qingran smiled and shook her head: "I don't know, if you have anything to say, please say it directly, Father."

Was this old fox still thinking about him?

Of course she knew his intention for calling her over. Furthermore, she already knew last night. The name of this great general was on the list she had hung up the wall with.

Xiao Zhi stared at her for a long time. Seeing that there was nothing abnormal on her face, he relaxed a little and put on a fatherly look. "After your second young mistress got married, did you ever visit her?"

Xiao Qing knew that he wanted to find a topic to start with, but the words at the beginning made people feel awkward.

She never liked to keep people in suspense. She frowned slightly as she interrupted his question, "I've already said it before, if father has anything to say, please say it."

Xiao Zhi frowned, he was displeased at being interrupted like this, but he did not say anything. He continued, "I was just thinking that since your second elder sister has already found a good family, it is about time for you and her to discuss a marriage."

A cold smile flashed past Xiao Qing Ran's eyes but she did not say anything.

Good family? If he felt that someone like Zhao Chen could be considered a good person, then there was nothing he could say.

Xiao Zhi waited for her to ask a question, but the latter was clearly not too interested in the topic.

Xiao Zhi's eyes darkened, and he added on, "Didn't you say last time that you had a good relationship with the Crown Prince? I think that since you and the crown prince are in love, it would be better for you to succeed in your marriage, and it will save you the time to think about it. "

"Oh?" Xiao Qing Ran laughed and raised her eyebrows, "I remember that my lord father did not say that last time. Not long ago, didn't you think that I was not worthy enough to enter the crown prince's residence with my character and intelligence? "How long has it been since your words have changed?"

"What I said last time was not wrong. At that time, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to survive in the crown prince's mansion. For your own good, I wanted to let Xi Yu take your place …"

"Then, Father, are you no longer afraid?" The corners of Xiao Qing's eyes held a smile, but that smile did not reach her eyes.

That expression gave Xiao Zhi the feeling that she had seen through everything from the beginning.

He stopped talking and stared closely at Xiao Qing Ran. At this moment, he suddenly felt that he was unable to see through the person in front of him.

Xiao Qing suddenly waved her sleeves, and said with a smile: "What? In less than two months, his father had already changed his mind. You want to use the matter of marriage to get rid of trouble? "

Xiao Zhi's expression changed as he subconsciously clenched his hands. "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, Lord Father, there's no need to be so nervous." Xiao Qingxi curled her lips, her tone neither fast nor slow: "I've already expressed myself a long time ago, I don't want to interfere in your matters nor do I want to concern myself with it. My wish in this life is only to seek peace."

She looked at the man's sudden change in expression and changed the topic, "But, no matter what, I was raised by the General's Estate, so I have received your favor. Logically speaking, this kindness should be repaid, shouldn't it?"

Xiao Zhi frowned as he didn't quite understand what she meant. He probed, "Are you agreeing to let your father petition His Majesty?"

A petition?

He was really lucky that he could think about it.

Even if Su Qianxing was the crown prince, this ancient era was already a feudal society.

As a woman, if the elder were to tell the emperor that he wanted to marry the crown prince, he would surely be laughed at if word of this got out.

If he were to marry into the Crown Prince's Palace, he would be a laughingstock in the future.

"Don't think too much about it, I didn't say that." Xiao Qingran had some words in her words: "Since Lord Father is in trouble now, I naturally have to put in some effort. It's just that I want Lord Father to agree to a condition in exchange."
