Translator: 549690339
Zhao Tian flew into a rage out of humiliation. Hmph! What you’re wearing also belongs to the Zhao family. Don’t take a single piece with you!
How embarrassing would it be if the mother and daughter went out naked?
the clothes churan and I are wearing are all made by me, stitch by stitch. The money for the needle and thread is also earned by me doing needlework. I didn’t spend a single cent from your Zhao family! Xia Jie said coldly.
“From today onwards, all ties between us are broken, and we are no longer husband and wife!”
After speaking, she stood beside Xia qingchen.
Xia qingchen led the two of them and calmly left the Zhao Manor, leaving behind Zhao Tian, who was in a daze.
After a long while, he came back to his senses and muttered to himself, ” I don’t believe that you can hold on for long. At most, three days. You and your daughter will come back and beg me!
They left the Zhao Manor.
Xia Jie and Zhao churan both felt a sense of relief.
For many years, they had been in the Zhao family, but it was as if they had been trapped in a cage.
However, looking at the bustling crowd, Xia Jie could not help but have a heavy heart.
The Zhao family had left, but where would the mother and daughter go?
Penniless, how could they survive?
“A friend gave me a courtyard, so we’ll stay there temporarily.”
A courtyard?
Every inch of land in the imperial capital was worth its weight in gold, so the houses here were very expensive.
Not to mention a side courtyard?
It should be a commoner’s thatched courtyard in the remote suburbs.
Xia Jie thought so.
However, Xia qingchen didn’t head to the outskirts. Instead, he came to the center of the imperial capital, the most bustling Street.
This Street was filled with the residences of the Empire’s core figures.
For example, the princes, the Prime Minister, and the Imperial advisor.
“Qingchen, what did you bring us here for?” Xia Jie said with little confidence.
This Street was full of big shots, and she usually didn’t dare to come here.
Xia qingchen didn’t say anything. He stopped in front of a huge courtyard that occupied an area of five miles.
In terms of scale, this courtyard could be ranked in the top ten in the imperial capital.
It was even more majestic than the residences of many princes and princesses!
Standing in front of the courtyard, he couldn’t see the end of it.
The huge iron gate at the entrance was wider than the entire Zhao Manor.
At the entrance of the mansion stood a row of mighty guards with sabers.
All of them had introverted looks and burly figures.
One could tell at a glance that this courtyard belonged to one of the most powerful families in the Duchy!
qingchen, let’s go quickly. This is the green Willow courtyard, the residence of Prime Minister Wang. Xia Jie hurriedly pulled Xia qingchen, who was about to walk in, and was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out.
Prime Minister Wang was a person with real power in the Duchy.
His status was even higher than many princes and princesses.
How did Xia qingchen dare to barge into Prime Minister Wang’s residence?
If he was caught as a criminal, no one would be able to save him.
Xia qingchen turned his head and patted the back of her hand lightly. He smiled and said, “”Let alone the fact that we’re only staying here for a few days, even if we wanted the courtyard, it would only take a word.”
With that, he let go of Xia Jie’s hand and walked up the stairs.
Xia Jie’s heart was in her throat, but it was too late for her to stop him.
Her face was filled with terror, as though she could already see the scene of Xia qingchen being captured on the spot.
However, what made Xia Jie petrified was …
When Xia qingchen arrived at the entrance of the residence, the 18 guards with sabers all knelt down on one knee.
“Welcome back, master Xia, Madam and old Madam!”
His voice was loud and clear, attracting the attention of the pedestrians on the street. They all looked at him with awe and respect. Xia Jie was petrified, wondering if she was dreaming.
Was master Xia referring to Xia qingchen?
Was this really not a dream?
“Mother, cousin qingchen is truly amazing.” Only Zhao churan knew that given Xia qingchen’s status, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to stay in the courtyard.
However, her face could not help but turn red.
The old Madam that the guards were addressing was naturally Xia Jie.
Master Xia was Xia qingchen, and Madam … He should be referring to her.
The guards thought that Zhao churan was Xia qingchen’s wife!
With a red face, she helped Xia Jie into the house.
Xia Jie swallowed hard and walked in slowly in fear. She felt as if she was walking on cotton and she was floating.
It was like a dream, not real at all.
They entered the wide entrance of the mansion.
The two rows of servants lined up from the entrance to the end of the mansion, and there were more than a thousand of them!
“Welcome back, master Xia, Madam and old Madam!” The two rows of servants knelt down on one knee to pay their respects.
This scene was like a Palace!
Xia Jie was so shocked that she lost her ability to think. She had already forgotten how she had been helped into the depths of the mansion.
“Daughter, pinch your mother to see if I’m still dreaming.” Xia Jie said in a daze as she sat in the extremely luxurious bedroom.
Puchi–
Zhao churan covered her mouth and chuckled, ” You’re not dreaming! Cousin qingchen is actually an important figure.”
Hence, she told him what had happened at the dock.
that day, the reason why father was busy patrolling was because cousin qingchen had arrived at the imperial capital. Prince yunshu and Princess tianyin had both sent people to welcome him. Zhao churan laughed.
She recalled how her father and elder brother looked down on Xia qingchen and felt that it was extremely laughable.
They were bent on currying favor with the higher-ups, but little did they know that there was a big Buddha squatting at home.
What was even more ridiculous was that they had driven the great Buddha away in the end.
After understanding all this, Xia Jie was so excited that tears flowed down her face. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. the spirit of our ancestors! A real Dragon has appeared in the Xia family!
After settling them down, Xia qingchen went to the cultivation room in the courtyard.
The cultivation room was half a mile long and half a mile wide. It was also equipped with various mechanisms that could imitate different environments.
What was special about it was that it could actually imitate the environment under a hurricane.
An environment with strong winds was the most suitable for cultivating movement techniques.
Xia qingchen’s [ cloudlight nature sound ] had been cultivated to the second level, and there was still one more level to go before it was perfected.
“Heavy light and shadow!” Xia qingchen started to temper his movement technique amidst the violent wind.
The next morning.
Xia qingchen’s back was drenched in sweat. if I had such a superior cultivation environment from the start, I would have long mastered my movement technique.
Even though he had only cultivated for a day, his movement technique had clearly improved.
However, it was a pity that he was temporarily unable to continue cultivating.
Because today was the day of the appointment with Prince yunshu.
He left the green Willow courtyard.
As soon as he left the courtyard, a luxurious cloud carriage was waiting outside.
Several well-dressed guards were waiting respectfully.
“Young master Xia, please!”
Xia qingchen tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and jumped onto the cloud carriage, slowly driving toward the guards ‘barracks.
The military camp was located in the bustling area of the imperial capital.
Today, Prince yunshu would personally come to the camp to watch the training of the guards.
Hence, the three streets near the military camp were under martial law.
Rows of guards in official robes patrolled the nearby streets to prevent any criminals from causing trouble and harming Prince yunshu.
“Patrol envoy Zhao Tian, come here!” A patrolling Deputy general riding a tall horse shouted from afar.
Zhao Tian was not in charge of this area.
However, due to the severe lack of manpower for this martial law mission, Zhao Tian and his 100 patrol guards were all mobilized.
Hearing this, Zhao Tian immediately put down what he was doing and jogged over.
“Deputy general Chen, do you have any orders?” Zhao Tian respectfully saluted.
Throw out the recommendation votes!
