Chapter 301 Wait and see what happens
The early entry of the envoys from Xiling Kingdom into the city seemed to sound an alarm, forcing them to be more vigilant.
Shen Jingxuan held Xie Lingxiao's hand: "Ah Xiao, why do you think the news took so long?"
"The news from Luofeng Temple came almost at the same time as Xiling's envoys entered the city, but the news from Crimson Flame Temple has not yet been delivered."
Seeing her worried expression, Xie Lingxiao patted her hand gently: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
"The Queen Mother's birthday banquet will be held in a few days, and Dongling and Nanling will also enter the city. We will wait and see what happens."
Shen Jingxuan felt anxious when she saw that he had no other options for the moment.
Although she doesn't need to worry about what happens to Beiling Kingdom, as long as the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion are safe and sound, and the people in the Red Flame Temple and her master are fine, she can ignore everything else.
But Xie Lingxiao is different, the kingdom of Beiling was protected by his father.
He may not care about the emperor or Xie Zihan, but nothing can happen to Beiling Kingdom, and the people of Beiling Kingdom must not be in trouble.
Xie Lingxiao stood by the window and looked into the distance through the window.
"Xuan'er, what do you think Xie Zihan and Song Yi are doing? What are they planning?"
If he didn't know about the Queen and Lu Zhong, and didn't know that Xie Zihan was not of royal blood, he wouldn't have thought too much about it.
But now there are so many things in front of him, he has to be more cautious.
Shen Jingxuan's eyes wrinkled slightly: "He already has the position of Crown Prince. If there is no matter about Lu Zhong and the Queen, all we need to do is wait."
"Now it seems that he and Song Yi have always been in contact, but we never noticed it before."
"Just wait and see. With his character, I think it won't take long for him to find out the reason."
Seeing that she was frowning, Xie Lingxiao had to take back what he was about to say.
He gently stroked Shen Jingxuan's brow and said, "Don't think too much. Some things can only be dealt with slowly. We just need to take care of ourselves."
It would be better for him to think about these things carefully on his own, so as not to make her worry with him.
Shen Jingxuan hesitated for a moment: "Ah Xiao, Ying'er wants to go back home, I want to send her back tomorrow."
"That's good. Now that Xiling Country has entered the city, I'm afraid there will be trouble when the other two countries enter the city."
Xie Lingxiao thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you to send her back tomorrow."
He was worried about letting Shen Jingxuan leave the house alone, and he could only feel at ease if he stayed with her at all times.
"Okay." Shen Jingxuan responded.
Xie Lingxiao held Shen Jingxuan in his arms, and the two hugged each other tightly, and the room became quiet for a while.
On the second day, Xie Lingxiao asked Ling Feng to prepare the carriage early in the morning, and he and Shen Jingxuan sent Jiang Shaoying back home.
Not long after the carriage stopped at the residence of Marquis Zhongyong, the Marquis Zhongyong's furious voice was heard from inside the mansion gate.
"Stinky girl, she still remembers to come back home? Does she still remember having a father like me?"
Shen Jingxuan looked at Jiang Shaoying with her eyebrows slightly raised, and stood beside Xie Lingxiao with a look of enjoying the show.
Jiang Shaoying raised her hand and gently rubbed her forehead. Listening to the angry voice of Marquis Zhongyong, she felt a little worried.
Before she could think of a solution, the voice of the Loyal and Brave Marquis rang out again: "That little bitch hasn't entered the mansion yet? Is she waiting for me to go and fetch her?"
The corners of Shen Jingxuan's mouth gradually curled up. She patted Jiang Shaoying's shoulder lightly and raised her chin towards the direction of the mansion gate.
Jiang Shaoying glared at her, straightened his back and slowly walked towards the gate.
There was nothing to worry about. She had experienced this kind of thing countless times since she was a child. Every time she came back late from leaving the house, her father had given her a good look.
Shen Jingxuan and Xie Lingxiao lagged behind by a few steps and walked forward slowly.
Jiang Shaoying had just stepped into the mansion when she saw something flying towards her, and she quickly dodged to the side.
"Silly girl, do you still know that this is your home? Do you still know that you have a father?" Marquis Zhongyong said angrily.
He waited for her to come back home all day long, and she stayed there for more than a month.
How could he endure this?
In the past, the two had never been separated, and even when he went to the military camp, he often took her with him.
If Jiang Shaoying was not with him, he would not dare to stay overnight outside. This girl was so cruel that she actually left him in the mansion.
Jiang Shaoying saw him being supported by a servant with one foot gently lifted, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
"Why don't you pick up the shoes and put them on him? Are you waiting to be embarrassed?"
After hearing her words, Marquis Zhongyong's eyes turned red with rage. This damn girl was becoming more and more powerful, and she even dared to say that she was disgraceful?
Without waiting for the servant to pick up his shoe, he struggled to take off the other shoe. He was determined to beat that little girl to death.
"Get out of the way, don't pull me, I'm going to beat her to death."
Seeing that he was furious, Jiang Shaoying urged him, "Put on your shoes quickly."
His father didn't know that Shen Jingxuan and Xie Lingxiao were behind him, but she had to remind him, lest he get embarrassed later and blame her.
"I don't want to wear it. Come here." Marquis Zhongyong struggled to move forward.
This naughty girl, after not seeing him for a few days, not only did she not take him seriously, she even ordered him around.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was too indulgent towards her. If he continued like this, she wouldn't even remember that he was her father next time.
After saying that, Marquis Zhongyong held one of his shoes and ran towards Jiang Shaoying barefoot. The two chased each other in the yard.
"Stop right there! How dare you run away?"
Jiang Shaoying said anxiously: "A Xuan is here, why don't you put on your shoes quickly?"
His father was most worried about his image in Shen Jingxuan's heart, and always wanted Shen Jingxuan to think that he was a good-tempered father. Now that he was like this, he must be most afraid of seeing Shen Jingxuan.
When Marquis Zhongyong heard her words, he suddenly stopped and looked towards the mansion gate.
Seeing that there was no one at the gate of the mansion, he became furious: "Have you learned to lie to me? I will beat you to death." As he said that, he continued to run towards Jiang Shaoying.
Shen Jingxuan stood outside the mansion gate and paced back and forth, listening to the noises coming from the mansion from time to time.
Seeing that she was unwilling to enter the house, Xie Lingxiao asked in confusion: "Xuan'er, don't you want to go in and take a look?"
He heard that there was a lot of noise in the mansion and that Marquis Zhongyong must be very angry.
"I don't want to go in."
Shen Jingxuan thought for a moment and then asked, "Will Ying'er really be beaten?"
She felt a little uncomfortable every time she came to the residence of Marquis Zhongyong, because the Marquis Zhongyong would appear beside her from time to time, constantly asking about her well-being, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Really?" Xie Lingxiao asked.
Everyone in the court knew the temper of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. When he got angry, even the ministers kept quiet and dared not say much.
After hearing what Xie Lingxiao said, Shen Jingxuan was a little worried that Jiang Shaoying would really be beaten.
After hesitating for a moment, she pulled Xie Lingxiao and walked quickly into the mansion.
At this time, the loyal and brave Marquis was already sweating profusely, but he was still chasing Jiang Shaoying barefoot: "Stop right there, or I'll break your legs."
When Jiang Shaoying turned around, she saw Shen Jingxuan and Xie Lingxiao standing not far away. She begged for help: "Ah Xuan, please ask Dad to stop."
After she saw Shen Jingxuan, she gradually slowed down, but she didn't expect to be caught by Marquis Zhongyong due to her carelessness.
He grabbed the shoe and hit Jiang Shaoying: "Ah Xuan, I told you to call me Ah Xuan, I told you to keep lying to me."
