"I didn't take a concubine. I just said that I remembered it because there was an ignorant person who was outside recently saying that he was my woman and had something to do with me, so..."

"oh."

Mingxiu's reaction was very dull, it could even be said that she had no reaction. She was still immersed in her own thoughts.

Habit is a terrible thing. She originally thought that it would be okay even if she had no relationship with Xie Zhan. She always thought that she only had a good impression of Xie Zhan.

But after making such a decision, what is the reason for the depression in my heart?

Mingxiu couldn't figure out the reason for this, but she had a vague hunch in her heart that if she really did this, she would regret it.

Pursing her lips and nodding, she felt a little complicated.

"Believe me, I really don't have a concubine and I don't get close to the woman next to me. What happened this time is just because that woman comes to the palace all day long and can't be driven away. I can't do it just because I don't like it.

Will it cost someone’s life?”

Although Xie Zhan was never merciful when it came to business matters, that woman did not harm the country, let alone the court, she just pestered him.

Xie Zhan can scare people away, but he can't kill them.

But that person can't be scared away just by scaring him. This is the most difficult thing.

Seeing that Mingxiu still didn't speak, Xie Zhan couldn't help but become anxious. He held Mingxiu's shoulders and forced her to look at him.

"I really have nothing to do with that person. Speaking of which, you have a closer relationship with her."

At this time, Mingxiu finally came to her senses, "Me?" She didn't even have many friends around her, and the only one who might pester Xie Zhan was Zhen Mi Niang.

But since she made it clear to Xie Zhan, apart from occasionally coming to him and begging him to take her out to play, Zhen Mi Niang would not pester her about saying she was his woman.

Mingxiu is relatively confident in her own vision of people, and this kind of thing will not happen.

Seeing the disbelief on her face, Xie Zhan became even more anxious, "Really, that person is your former wife, the scholar who broke off the engagement with you! I don't know where the wrong thing happened to pester me."

Thinking of this, Xie Zhan couldn't help but roll his eyes, feeling even more ridiculous.

Even if he doesn't have Mingxiu in his heart, then he can only accept an innocent girl, a woman who has already been married, and her appearance is not even average. Why should she pester him?

In other words, he would not abuse his power. If those second-generation ancestors were entangled with such a woman, they would have thrown her outside the city gate to show the public.

Xie Zhan began to wonder in his mind, if he did the same thing, would the woman give up in spite of the difficulties?

This describes...

Mingxiu reacted for a while before remembering who he was talking about.

"So, Zhao Qiao really came to the capital?"

"Zhao Qiao? It seems so." Xie Zhan really didn't remember her name. He only knew that she was the daughter of a county magistrate.

If she kept coming to bother her and couldn't understand people, Xie Zhan thought maybe he could talk to her father about the situation.

Only then did Mingxiu confirm that she might have read correctly before that Zhao Qiao was here, but she just didn't know whether Li Guangsheng was here or not.

But she thought that Zhao Qiao probably didn't come alone.

Those who dare to walk alone from the border town to the capital should be people with extraordinary skills like Xie Zhan and Ye Ziming. Zhao Qiao obviously does not meet the criteria.

The people who came to the capital with her didn't even try to dissuade her. They dared to come to the Regent's Palace to cause trouble unscrupulously. It was really not the courage that ordinary people could have.

"I really have nothing to do with her, you should know this!" Xie Zhan continued to explain, sweating profusely, "Can I still be attracted to her? Men are not as strong as her."

Although she knew she shouldn't, Mingxiu still wanted to laugh, "I know, but you should explain it to Miss Shu so that she doesn't trouble me again."

She still doesn't understand why Shu Wenqi went to find her, and in what capacity did she go to Mingxiu?

Logically speaking, Shu Wenqi should have nothing to do with Xie Zhan himself. If we insist on saying that she does, she can only be regarded as the daughter of Xie Zhan's subordinate.

Xie Zhan doesn't have that kind of intention with her, which is really a bit dumbfounding.

"I will deal with this matter." Speaking of Shu Wenqi, Xie Zhan's face turned a little ugly. He didn't know that people outside would talk about Zhao Qiao's matter like this. Shu Wenqi would have done nothing more. If she hadn't gone up to Mingxiu to make a fuss,

Maybe Mingxiu won't know about it even if he settles the matter, can't he just pretend it never happened?

"It doesn't matter." Mingxiu shrugged, and after finishing speaking, it was time to leave.

"For Wanshou Day in ten days, you can come too."

Turning back in disbelief, Mingxiu thought he had made a mistake, "I'm just a commoner. Isn't it appropriate for me to go to something like the Longevity Festival?"

What on earth was Xie Zhan thinking? In a place like the palace, all the princes and nobles go to, otherwise they are the pillars of the country. Who is she? Entering the palace?

To be honest, Mingxiu has never thought about it.

"The Emperor wants to see you, and..." Xie Zhan's face turned red and he looked at her expectantly, "My mother-in-law also wants to see you."

"Why are you seeing me?" Mingxiu looked at him suspiciously. Could he be making some crooked ideas?

There was certainly a legitimate reason to inform Mingxiu in advance, "The method you came up with to nourish the soil, as well as the peppers and their cultivation you discovered have made a great contribution to the desert. The emperor wants to see you, and wants to...

…I will personally reward you.”

"Then don't I leave it all to you to solve it? You paid the money, so don't rely on me anymore. Even if there is a reward, you can take care of it."

The people she had met with extraordinary backgrounds, although there were good and bad, not all of them could be said to be bad, but without exception, they were all very difficult to deal with.

Pian Mingxiu is also afraid of trouble. She doesn't want to participate in any longevity festival. It is said to be an honor, but she doesn't want such honor.

Is it good to have met the emperor?

It would be best for a little person like her not to be known to the emperor.

Compared to her, Xie Zhan can only make the best use of rewards after receiving them.

Seeing that Xie Zhan seemed to want to say something, Mingxiu added: "It really can't be done. Just give me some of the rewards you get and give them a discount."

Except for the money, Mingxiu couldn't appreciate his so-called rare items. Even if he took them, he would have to sell them for money. I don't know if the emperor's reward can be sold for money, so just think about it.

Xie Zhan twitched the corner of his mouth, "No one believes that I came up with it. Everyone's opinion wins. Even if I can suppress the questioning voices forcefully, you know..."

Before he finished speaking, Mingxiu roughly understood when he saw Xie Zhan's troubled eyes.

"You need someone to take the lead, but am I the best candidate?"

She just said that dealing with these people is very troublesome.
