Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 409, Center of Gravity

Chi Yan saw that Yu Xiucheng came out talking and laughing with Xiao Qing, not only that, he seemed to enjoy the short time of playing with Xiao Qing with Yu Xiucheng's expression.

He was a little surprised. Didn't they say that they would never see each other again that night, and he had only left for a few days?The relationship between the two is so good?

When Yu Xiucheng noticed that someone was watching them, he immediately turned cold. He looked back at the owner who was looking at them, and saw that it was Chi Yan and his guards.

Instead, he changed his smiling face, corrected his posture, stopped playing with Xiao Qing, and walked towards the door.

"Master Yu, Chi Shizi put the weapon..." The guard got off his horse and came to Yu Xiucheng, just about to open his mouth to report.

Yu Xiucheng raised his hand to interrupt him, he glanced at Xiao Qing worriedly behind him, and the guard immediately understood.

After Chi Yan got off his horse, he bowed to Yu Xiucheng: "My lord!"

"Did you get the things back?" Yu Xiucheng asked in a cold voice.

Chi Yan hummed belatedly, and seeing Xiao Qing approaching, he said worriedly: "My lord, return to the subordinates of the military department to explain in detail!"

Yu Xiucheng glanced at him with slightly cold eyes, and hummed lightly.

"Xu Lin, send the little Princess back to the Prince's Mansion of Pingning County!"

"Yes!" Xu Lin replied.

Xiao Qing walked to the horse alone, and said with a smile: "No need, I'll go back by myself, you are busy with your work!"

As she said, she clipped the horse's belly and ran to the capital alone.

"Young Princess, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of the woods!" Yu Xiucheng yelled loudly, "Going out of the woods is blocked!"

Hearing this, Xiao Qing tightened the reins, and turned to look at Yu Xiucheng.

Yu Xiucheng spread his hands and said with a helpless smile: "I'm going out, shouldn't the place be cleared?"

Xiao Qing gritted his teeth, this fellow is shameless!There were not so many people when they came. When did these people follow outside the forest of the Taoist temple?
She knew best about the guards around him, without his password, even the flies would not be able to fly out, there was no other way, Xiao Qing could only follow them out of the woods.

"When are you leaving?" Xiao Qing asked.

Yu Xiucheng glanced at the Taoist temple: "Don't worry, I haven't said hello to my mother yet!"

With a gloomy face, Xiao Qing had no choice but to get off the horse and stand there waiting for them.

After a few breaths, Yu Xiucheng led a group of people to the outside of the forest of Yuzhen Temple, and before they came out of the forest, a few people stood outside the forest.

Xiao Qing stopped for a moment, Chi Yan walked behind her and almost bumped into her.

"Why did you stop suddenly?" Chi Yan asked with an eyebrow.

Xiao Qing looked ahead, her eyes were cold and murderous, she didn't speak, but just stared at the person in front of her.

At the same time, the people outside the woods also looked over. The moment he saw Xiao Qing, he was startled for a moment, and then looked at Yu Xiucheng in front of Xiao Qing, and immediately put on a flattering smile.

Yu Xiucheng, who was walking in front, glanced behind him from the corner of his eye, and looked at He Jing who was in front.

He sneered lowly, as if mocking Xiao Qing who stopped suddenly behind him, but he strode out of the woods without saying anything.

As soon as they arrived, He Jing and the others hurriedly knelt down and saluted, with a sincere attitude: "My lord, it's the servants who don't control you strictly, so I spared your innocence. The servants have already whipped and thrown these people out of the city. I hope your lord will forgive me!"

Yu Xiucheng stood on the spot with his chin raised, looking into the distance, as if he was thinking about other things and didn't have the time to take care of He Jing.

After a while, He Jing didn't wait for Yu Xiucheng's words, he bowed again and said, "My lord, I know I was wrong!"

Yu Xiucheng lowered his eyebrows, looked down at him, and said in a false tone: "Grand Master He, I'm afraid your son didn't make it clear to you, you came here to admit your mistake in such a hurry, you know what happened in Qingfeng Restaurant gone?"

He Jing raised his head in surprise, and said ah, he recalled the look of that three beast in his family who was hesitant to speak, could it be that it was not the situation of the servant reciprocating?

Seeing He Jing's expression, Yu Xiucheng was very satisfied, as expected he didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, he didn't need to fool him about it, sooner or later he would see clearly.

"Grand Master He, didn't your son say that a group of servants from your family went to Qingfeng Restaurant to fight the little princess of the Wang family in Pingning County? Your son was there at the time, but your servants were not up to the mark. Seven or eight people couldn't beat a weak girl. Arriving late, I saw that these young servants in your family had murderous intentions, and wanted to kill the little princess, but they were forced to do nothing. How could I see the royal relatives being slaughtered by such low-level people, so I shot them down? !"

He took a step closer to He Jing, and He Jing shrank back in fright: "Grand Master He, I killed those people, and you sent those people to kill the little princess?"

He Jingting, out of the protection in Xiu Cheng's words, is obviously a rebel family, but he was described as a relative of the emperor. He didn't hate the Pingning County Prince's family, how could he protect them?
Could it be that the emperor meant it?
Thinking of the emperor, recalling the indifference towards him in the past two years, He Jing's heart suddenly turned cold. Could it be that the emperor regretted it, missed the goodness of the Prince's Mansion in Pingning County, and wanted to use Yu Xiucheng to repair the relationship?
If this is the case, the little princess's family can't be touched, otherwise he is going against the scales.

"No, no, my lord, why would I send someone to kill the little princess, she is a majestic little princess, even if I have a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to order someone to kill her! My lord clearly understands, all these things That bastard Hu Jin was bluffing and deceiving outside under the guise of being an official, the little princess had confronted him before, and the two had a personal enmity, so it must be that guy who harbors a grudge and wants to take revenge in my name, my lord, my lord! " He Jing quickly put all the responsibility on Hu Jin.

Yu Xiucheng didn't know his thoughts, but he would not expose him immediately, and the evidence in his hand was not enough to move him, so he could only knock the mountains and shake the tiger, hit him once, let him know how powerful it was, and think about it again. To attack Xiao Qing and Xiao Biheng, he will have to weigh whether he can bear the consequences.

"Grand Master He, you should focus more on the emperor's expansion of court officials, and maybe you can get the emperor's favor from it. Don't always focus on how to punish these rebels. The emperor pardoned all the nine kings. Will the Prince’s Mansion of Pingning County and Yong’an County be far behind? I hope you can understand what I said, and don’t wait until the day something happens to wake up.”

"Yes yes yes, I understand, thank you sir for reminding me, thank you sir for telling me, otherwise I don't know how many detours I would have to take!" He Jing thanked and kowtowed.

Yu Xiucheng bent down to help him up, and took his hand affectionately: "Grand Master He, I have been the first to tell you where the emperor's focus has been in the past few years, we serve the emperor. , to make him feel at ease, and even more so, are you right?"

Seeing that Yu Xiucheng is kind and polite, He Jing would never have thought that Yu Xiucheng had other thoughts. He wished to share his heart and soul with Yu Xiucheng at this moment, recalling the past, he would always ask Yu Xiucheng about the emperor's thoughts and holy will Yu Xiucheng always reminded him and gave him help, so he was able to go from a small fifth rank to the current second rank.
