Prince Xia's little calculations were rattling in her mind.

"If you think about it this way, Yurou will be Princess Chen in the future, and our Qingxuan can also be a concubine of the palace.

"If one day the truth comes out, Yurou and Qingxuan are biological sisters, supporting each other and controlling the backyard of the palace, then think about it again, what kind of life can we live together?"

Xia Ziming originally disliked the Chen family, but because of his face, he didn't want to be stabbed in the back by others saying that he disliked the poor, loved the rich, was ungrateful.

Especially because of Xia Qingyao's sarcasm just now, he felt even more ashamed of being stripped naked and thrown into the street.

But after listening to his wife's analysis, he felt that nothing about face was as important as the overwhelming wealth.

What could be more attractive than having both daughters prosper in the future?

"It's up to you."

After hearing Xia Ziming's promise, Mrs. Xia Wang was satisfied and nodded happily, but also a little worried: "Over there with the Chen family..."

"Let me think about it, we have to find a way to get the best of both worlds. We can't let people scold our Xia family behind our backs." Xia Ziming narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

When Xia Qingyao returned to his small courtyard, he saw that Xia Qingxuan was still kneeling on the ground.

Yuegui and Jialiu seemed to be the door gods on the left and right, staring at Xia Qingxuan. The maid and woman brought by Xia Qingxuan had disappeared long ago, apparently to pay homage to the gods.

Xia Qingyao walked up to Xia Qingxuan: "Fourth sister, have you thought about it?"

Xia Qingxuan's face was already swollen and her knees were hurting from kneeling. She just wanted to go back quickly. As long as she left Xia Qingyao's side, she had a way to treat her well.

Therefore, as soon as Xia Qingyao came back, she could immediately bend and bend.

"Third sister, I know I'm wrong. Just because we sisters grew up together, let me go."

"Oh? Then tell me, where did you go wrong?" Xia Qingyao sat down against the beauty Shi Shiran in the corridor.

Xia Qingxuan was so angry that she almost broke her silver teeth.

"I, I shouldn't have forced my way into my sister's bedroom, and I shouldn't have beaten my sister's servants. But I slapped your girl, just lightly. My second brother also slapped me. I just ruined you.

I have been kneeling for so long for a few pages of notes, and my legs are numb."

Xia Qingxuan's words turned into complaints.

Xia Qingyao looked at Xia Qingxuan's unruly look and suddenly felt bored.

It's not her responsibility to educate her. How much trouble Xia Qingxuan will cause in the future and how much hardship she will endure, does it have anything to do with her?

Xia Wang asked her to kneel down, but she turned around and knelt down Xia Wang's daughter. Xia Qingxuan smashed her house and made rude remarks, and her second brother also beat her. Let's forget about it today.

Thinking of this, Xia Qingyao said: "That's it, you go back."

Xia Qingxuan was overjoyed and hurriedly got up, covering her knees to run out.

"Wait a minute," Xia Qingyao took a small bottle and walked closer, "This ointment is cooling and pain-relieving. Use it quickly."

Xia Qingxuan grew up in a medical family. She had a headache and fever, and her brothers and sisters gave her medicine. Therefore, she was used to Xia Qingyao giving her medicine, so she took it without thinking twice.

Watching Xia Qingxuan walk away, Liu Ying whispered: "The young lady is too kind. Such good medicine should not be given to her."

"Do you think I'm doing it for her?" Xia Qingyao chuckled and led everyone into the newly tidied house.

That medicine is most useful for relieving pain and reducing swelling. Xia Qingxuan couldn't bear to take it, so she would use it when she took it back.

If she uses it, the swelling on her face can be reduced with just a few minutes of tea, and she won't notice any difference at all.

Xia Qingxuan is the most squeamish. She might change her clothes and go to the old lady and Xia Ziming to complain.

The "swollen bun" on her face disappeared. Even if she said that Xia Xingqian beat her, the elders believed her, but they couldn't see that the beaten face was right there. How else could they punish Xia Xingqian?

Xia Qingyao went back to her room and changed her clothes, then planned to have someone carry the food box. She had been tired all day, and she wanted to rest early after dinner. The prince would come for acupuncture at night.

Unexpectedly, Xiaomei and Zhou's mother, who went to carry the food box, came back empty-handed after a while.

"Third Miss, the master has ordered the whole family to have dinner together in the front hall. Everyone is almost here now, so I urge you to go too."

Xia Qingyao nodded, put down the book and stretched his neck: "I guess Manager Chen and his son are here, and my father is hosting a banquet to welcome them."

"Manager Chen?" Liuying took a hairpin and gave it to Xia Qingyao.

Xia Qingyao smiled and said: "He was the steward who took care of our family in the quarry. His second son Chen Yin was engaged to Xia Qingxuan."

"That's it." Liuying nodded.

There are three large round tables in the front hall. The female relatives are at the rightmost table. Xia Qingyao sits next to Xia Qingxuan, and beside her are her cousins ​​from the second and third bedrooms.

She glanced at Xia Qingxuan and saw that she looked angry and the slap marks on her face had disappeared.

As soon as Xia Qingyao sat down, Xia Qingxuan whispered: "The third sister is really good at it."

Xia Qingyao naturally knew what she was talking about. She must have complained just now but failed to get a favor, so she just smiled and nodded: "Thank you, fourth sister, for the compliment."

"You... are treacherous!" Xia Qingxuan rolled her eyes in anger.

"Treacherous? This word is considered a compliment here." Xia Qingyuan picked up the tea bowl and sipped it, looking at everyone in the room.

My second brother didn’t come to the family dinner again today.

The second brother knew that he was an adopted son and that he was not lovable, so he often did not want to disturb the Xia family.

Xia Qingyao put down the tea bowl with a calm expression.

But she searched carefully and found that the Chen family and his son were not there either.

Isn't tonight's meal meant to bring peace to the Chen family and his son?

Soon the dishes were ready and the family was enjoying the meal.

The elders of the Xia family have been rich and noble, and they know some rules and etiquette.

But the Xia family has been in exile for seventeen years, and the younger generation has grown up in the countryside. They don't know any rules and etiquette at all, and even if they learn it, they have only scratched the surface.

So on the dining table, Xia Qingyao looked at them and had no appetite.

After dinner, Xia Ziming smiled and said: "Today, while the whole family is here, I want to announce something."

"Oh?" the old lady said with a smile, "Boss, I said that the whole family is going to have dinner together today. So you have something important to do?"

"Yes, mother," Xia Ziming said seriously, "Our family has been exiled in Qingzhou for these years. Thanks to the care of Manager Chen and his family, otherwise I can't imagine that our family could return to the capital in one piece."

As soon as this matter was mentioned, everyone felt deeply.

The eyes of the female family members are already wet as they recall the hard days of that day.

Xia Ziming sighed and said: "Our Qingxuan family has a marriage contract with Chen Yin, the second son of Steward Chen's family. Everyone knows this. But now that I think about it, the Chen family has been very kind to our family. Let Qingxuan marry us."

In the past, the portions were really too light.”

Xia Qingxuan and Xia Qingyao looked up at the same time when they heard this. Xia Qingxuan was angry and happy, with a distorted expression.

Xia Qingyao stared at Xia Ziming, vaguely understanding something.

"So, I decided to let Qingyao marry her." Xia Ziming smiled.
