"It's getting late, you all should go!" Xie Yun walked into the study, sat on the Imperial Master's chair, and calmly issued the order to expel guests.

"Du side concubine, please!" Leping county magistrate asked Du Sisi to leave like a hostess.

At this moment, Du Sisi actually thought of Jiang Nan, and felt a little sad in his heart, whether it was for himself or for the Crown Princess.

Du Sisi endured it again and again, put the food box on the table, and whispered: "Your Highness has heavy government affairs, don't forget to eat."

Xie Yun didn't lift his brows and eyes, and said softly in his throat: "En."

"I heard from Eunuch Zhong that His Highness likes to eat the food I gave you these few days. Today I made your favorite almond tofu." Du Sisi looked at Le Ping proudly.

Le Ping replied with a smile: "Your Highness, there is nothing you like to eat or not. He has seen the suffering in the world, and he is never picky about food. He will eat everything!"

"I eat everything, and there are also favorite things. It's not unusual for the county lord to not know. It can be seen that the county lord and His Highness still have a shallow friendship."

Le Ping smiled, and was about to tell Du Sisi to roll off when Eunuch Zhong walked in.

"Your Highness, Jiang Huai asks to see you."

Xie Yun raised his head, his eyebrows furrowed, showing a trace of confusion, and then he relaxed his frown.

"Let him in."

Soon, Jiang Huai was invited in, first bowed to Xie Yun, and glanced at Du Sisi and Leping county magistrate, looking a little embarrassed.

"Why don't you two go down first?" Xie Yun suggested aloud.

The head of Leping County raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Yun with unknown meaning: "Your Highness's father-in-law is here. Is he here to plead for the Crown Princess?"

When Jiang Huai heard this, he immediately retorted: "No, no, I won't intercede for that rebellious girl, she has already severed my father-daughter relationship with me."

Leping and Du Sisi were slightly surprised when they heard this.

Xie Yun didn't show his eyebrows: "Since that's the case, what are you looking for me for?"

"Uh..." Jiang Huai hesitated.

"You two go down first."

Xie Yun ordered in a deep voice, and Du Sisi and Le Ping resigned and left.

After the door was closed, Jiang Huai's legs softened, he knelt down, and cried, "Your Highness, I am the father of the Crown Princess, and now it is rumored that I was not born to my father. I was kicked out of Jiang's house by my father. With no savings, a few members of the family live on the streets and cannot afford three meals a day!"

It was widely rumored in the imperial capital that Jiang Huai was not Jiang Taiwei's biological son. He went to the main courtyard to inquire, but Jiang Taiwei admitted in public that he turned into a bastard and drove his family out of Jiang's residence.

Before being cheated by Jiang Yuan, she was penniless, Aunt Qiao also ran away, and the family was sent to the house of Li's distant relatives, where they were looked down upon.

Jiang Nan doesn't know when she will be released, and whether she can be a princess again is unknown.

The men of the Emperor's family are ruthless. The entire Imperial Capital knows that Xie Yun has recently fallen in love with the gentle and considerate Leping County Lord. Jiang Nan is such a prick, and he wouldn't like him either.

Therefore, Jiang Huai had to cheat some money from Xie Yun while Jiang Nan was still the princess.

"Didn't you sever the father-daughter relationship with the princess?" Xie Yun raised his eyebrows and sneered.

"Father and daughter are connected by blood, how can we break up? Just now the Leping County Lord was present, and I was afraid that if I offended her, His Highness would not help me. I am not doing well. People will say that the Crown Princess is not filial, and His Highness has to bear some stigma." .”

Xie Yun: "..."

He subconsciously looked towards the secret door. At some point, the secret door was quietly opened a crack. He always felt that there was a pair of beautiful eyes there, secretly staring at every move here.

My back is so cold.

"It makes sense." Xie Yun couldn't sit still anymore, got up to support Jiang Huai, and rushed out, "I already know what father-in-law is doing this trip, you go back first, and I will pick you up after I arrange everything !"

"Okay..." Jiang Huai just said, the door closed in front of him, and he muttered, "Your Highness is so busy?"

Xie Yun in the study opened the secret door, and when Jiang Nan's smiling face came out, his heart twitched, and he was about to take her into his arms, but when he heard the door creak, it opened again.

Both of them changed their faces, and the secret door closed again.

Xie Yun came out angrily, and seeing Le Ping walk in, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he forced a smile: "Why haven't you gone back yet?"

"Didn't Your Highness say that it's not safe in the dark, so you want to send me back personally?" Le Ping stepped forward and took Xie Yun's arm.

"Did I say that?" Xie Yun turned his eyebrows and eyes, and his eyes fell on the secret door anxiously.

"Your Highness is busy, so naturally he won't take me to heart." Le Ping snorted coldly.

"Le Ping, I still have a lot of things to deal with, let Zong Yue take you back." Xie Yun's back was numb, he broke Le Ping's hand, walked to the desk and sat down.

Persevering, Le Ping bent down and leaned on the desk, and said with a charming smile: "I saw Jiang Huai today, it really opened my eyes. I always thought that my father treated me harshly. It turns out that there is an even more terrifying father. , I am so much luckier.”

"..." Xie Yun's eyes froze slightly, and he didn't reply.

"I still remember that you wrote to me before and said that you saved Jiang Taiwei's granddaughter, Jiang Nan, right? You said she was very pitiful, and the whole Jiang family bullied her. You have always been a person who loves to help the weak , so you married her only out of sympathy."

"I don't, I don't remember, did I say that?" Xie Yun retorted very quickly, his eyes flickering, looking at the secret door with a hint of panic.

"You just told me a few days ago, and you forgot it so quickly?" Leping was stunned, with a puzzled light in his eyes, and repeated, "You said you regarded sympathy as love, so you married her, and now you find that you I don't love her that much anymore!"

After a pause, Le Ping tentatively asked, "Did you lie to me?"

Xie Yun's forehead was buzzing, and he couldn't get off the tiger.

After a moment of silence, Xie Yun shouted loudly: "Zong Yue! Zong Yue! It's getting late, hurry up and send Leping County Lord back!"

Xie Yun couldn't sit still anymore, and walked out of the study with Leping in his hand, Zong Yue was already waiting at the door.

The door was closed, Xie Yun picked up the food box left by Du Sisi on the desk, and pushed open the secret door, there was no one inside, he didn't know whether he should breathe a sigh of relief.

Walking all the way into the Jiuhua Hall, the wooden door was still open, Jiang Nan had already asked Nan Shan to deliver a table of food, and before he came, he had already started to eat with his chopsticks.

Because of the confinement, the food Nan Shan sent was only enough for one person. In order to prevent the imperial guards from being suspicious, Xie Yun would always bring Du Sisi's food these days. Jiang Nan liked Du Sisi's cooking.

Xie Yun brought out the dishes in the food box as if offering a treasure, and said with a smile: "Almond tofu, try it?"

"Don't dare to take away His Highness's love, Your Highness, let's eat!" Jiang Nan pursed her lips and smiled, with a look of alienation in her eyes.

Xie Yun's heart skipped a beat as he put the almond tofu in Jiang Nan's hand and explained, "I can't say I love it the most. I just eat a few more bites. I'm not picky about food."

"It seems... the Lord of Leping County understands you." Jiang Nan smiled broadly.

Xie Yun: "..."

Woman heart seabed needle.

He decided to talk less and eat more.
