re the wild boar away If my older brother finds out that I, a man, let my sister-in-law do such a dangerous thing, what face will I have to show him"Fang Jinxiu couldn't help but smile and laugh, this...Chapter 1135: Where do you rank in the Xixia royal family

Though Yu Lian wasn't sure what her sister-in-law was planning, she still called Ah Sheng over.

"Jade Lotus, you called me."

A Sheng still wore the mask he had on when he left the mountain villa. Yu Lian initially asked him to take it off, but he insisted that his appearance was ugly and refused to remove it.

Although Yulian found it strange, she didn't insist. She let him continue to wear the mask.

Now it seems kind of okay.

Xiaoyue frowned when she first saw A Sheng.

How could he still have a mask on his face

Yu Lian said, "A Sheng looks ugly, it's better this way so as not to scare the sister-in-law."

She suddenly remembered that A Sheng was brought back by her sister-in-law from the Grand Assembly of Talents. Out of curiosity, Yu Lian whispered,

"Ah Sheng, why did my sister-in-law look for you Can you guess what she might ask you"

Under the mask, Asheng's eyes flickered slightly before he quickly lowered his head and shook it.

Seeing him so timid and shy, Jade Lotus thought that even if she asked him questions, she wouldn't get any useful answers.

Anyway, how could he possibly know his sister-in-law's thoughts.

"Miss Yu Lian, if there's nothing else, I'll take Ah Sheng away. Madam is waiting."

Yulian nodded, and as Xiaoyue was leaving, she couldn't help but ask her one more thing.

“Can I go with you”

Little Yue helplessly said, “Miss Yu Lian, Mistress asked you to reflect in the courtyard. It’s only the first day, so please be more obedient.”

Yu Lian instantly wilted upon hearing this.

Well, if my sister-in-law knew she was running around everywhere without thinking, what if she got angry and extended her time

"Okay."

She waved frantically, urging Xiaoyue to take the people away quickly.

A-Sheng remained silent in the courtyard. When he walked out of Yu Lian's courtyard and onto the path leading to the main hall, he surprisingly took the initiative to ask Xiao Yue a question.

"Little Yuejie, do you know what the madam wants from me"

Xiao Yue frowned, "Madam just wants you to go. Why ask so many questions"

"Madam is always kind and approachable to people. As long as you haven't done anything harmful to the Hou Mansion, Madam won't treat you badly. There's no need to be afraid."

A-sheng, not having learned anything, said nothing more and honestly followed Xiao Yue to the main courtyard.

Fang Jinshu sat by the pond, changed into her work clothes, rolled up her sleeves and was cleaning up the pond with Mulan.

I assigned her a task, but she barely did anything.

When Xiaoyue brought Ashen over, she saw Fang Jinxiu personally cleaning the weeds and stones in the pond. She was startled and immediately ran forward to help Fang Jinxiu up.

"Madam, how could you possibly wade in yourself Your clothes will be ruined!"

Fang Jinshu smiled. "It's nothing. I used to work in the fields with you all in the village. I'm not a proper noblewoman from the capital, so I'm not that delicate."

She didn't think that being a madam for a few days would make much difference. She wanted to do things herself anyway, after all, it was her own courtyard.

Xiaoyue still felt it was inappropriate.

"Madam, Ah Sheng has arrived. Would you like to come up first I'll clean the pond with Mujin, it will be done soon."

Asheng stood aside, quite surprised to see Fang Jinshu wearing the clothes of a servant and working in the pond by herself.

He stood there, with vacant eyes.

Fan Jinshu looked over and saw that he was still wearing that ugly mask, she couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Why are you still wearing this mask Addicted to it"

Asheng quietly lowered his head, not daring to use the excuse he had just used to fool Yulian to fool Fang Jinshu anymore, because she had seen his true face.

"I have a pretty good idea why you keep wearing that mask."

Last time she was at King Jing's place, she already figured out Ayou's background. A Sheng and Zong Yu look alike, he's probably not some distant relative of the Xi Xia prince, he should be one of the many sons of the Xi Xia king.

I don't know how I ended up in this situation.

Technically, he should be considered a nephew of Zong Yu's.

Fang Jinshi smiled at A Sheng, "Come in with me."

She turned and walked into the house. Asheng hesitated for a moment before following her, but his expression remained particularly careful.

Little Yue and Mujin were both working in the courtyard. The main courtyard was usually very quiet, and after the maidservants finished their chores, they would go down and did not need to stay in the courtyard all the time.

Therefore, even if the door was open, no one would hear their conversation.

When Fang Jinshui came in, she saw Ah Sheng standing at the door with a hesitant expression on his face. She was surprised and asked.

"What are you standing there for, come sit down, and take off your mask."

"You don't have to hide your identity from me. Do you really think I would just pick someone up at an auction and then ignore them"

She startled Ah Sheng with her words. He was too young to outsmart someone like Fang Jinxiu, who was full of tricks. In the end, he had no choice but to take off his mask honestly.

"Since you know my identity, why don't you hand me over to the Xia envoy"

"Leave me here, I'm not afraid to cause you trouble."

Asheng didn't fully believe Fang Jinshu's words, feeling that she was very likely deceiving him.

She may have guessed that she was related to the Western Xia royal family, but she didn't know that he was the son of the Western Xia king.

In order to consolidate his position, Herle fiercely eliminated dissidents, sparing not even his own brothers.

He was a minor prince in the Western Xia royal family. Because he refused to stand on his side, he was assassinated by his men.

Fortunately, he escaped death. While injured and unconscious, he was picked up by human traffickers and sold. To escape, he fabricated the identity of a cousin of the Xixia prince, thinking that being related to the royal family would be enough to scare them off.

He dared not reveal his true identity, fearing it would attract the wrath of those assassins from Hel.

Unexpectedly, he was bought back by Daxixi's wife, the Marquis of Wuding. It wasn't until he arrived at the Marquis's mansion that he learned of Fang Jinshu's identity.

"Do I look scared"

Because Fang Jinshu knew that Ah Sheng was Zong Yu's nephew, she always felt a kind of loving care from an elder towards a younger generation because of this familial relationship.

But in reality, the age of her body is only two years different from Ah Sheng's.

"Don't worry, just sit down and talk."

"Have you eaten dinner yet I have some snacks here, would you like to try some"

She took out all the best tea snacks from Jinxiu Villa and placed them in front of Asheng, treating him like a child.

But in Ashen's eyes, Fang Jinxiu's actions were nothing short of unnecessary kindness that could either be a harmless act or a deceitful one. The more she acted friendly and approachable, the more frightened Ashen became.

Even speculating if Jiang Xiushi was going to sell him again, or what kind of deal she had struck with the Xixia envoy.

He doesn't really have anything of value that anyone would want to trade for.

He was just a low-profile prince in the Xixia royal family.

"A-Sheng, why aren't you eating Don't you like Da Xi's snacks If you don't like them, it's okay. You can just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll have someone get it for you."

Asheng shook his head hurriedly.

As Fang Jinxiu became more polite, the other person's expression grew more panicked. It made her seem like a salesperson peddling something shady.

She awkwardly clamped her mouth shut. This whole "caring for underclassmen" thing, she definitely wasn't good at it. Maybe she should just get to the point.

"Since you're not eating, let's talk about something serious."

"Asheng, where do you rank in the Xixia royal family" we know we were wrong."Especially Tiezhu, the sound of admitting his mistake sounded like he was shouting through a megaphone."Sister-in-law, I promise I won't be impulsive next time.""From now on, I...
