Xia Muqing looked up and replied, “Since he’s mine, I’ll let him play for a few days.”

Jiang Yifan admired her forthrightness. He felt that Xia Muqing was really the most carefree girl he had ever met.

By this time, they were already very close to the capital and they arrived at the city gates at noon the next day.

Xia Muqing rented a carriage and entered with the black eagle, Gungun, and the little phoenix. Jiang Yifan acted as the coachman. The security at the city gates wasn’t very strict, so it was easy for them to sneak in.

A gust of wind blew past. Xia Muqing could vaguely see the figure of a man through the curtains. He seemed a little familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had seen him before.

She peered through the curtains again. The man who had gone a distance ahead suddenly turned around. He was a very handsome man, especially with his beautiful eyes.

The man glanced at Xia Muqing and smiled at her politely.

Xia Muqing was embarrassed to keep staring at him and could only smile in response. She lowered the curtains and quickly forgot about him.

They couldn’t stay in an inn with the black eagle and the beasts. So Jiang Yifan rented a small courtyard in the city. As soon as they had settled down, a group of people surrounded them.

Xia Muqing went out and realized that it was the Xia family. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

Xia Jingtian, her father, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, stood in front.

She had just returned to the capital when the person who had been guarding the city gate informed the Xia family. That was why he had immediately brought his men to look for her.

Xia Muqing leaned against the wall and asked lazily, “I wonder why Old Master Xia is here?”

Xia Jingtian’s expression darkened, as he despised her behavior. “How can a rich young lady be so rude? Stand properly when you’re talking.” 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

Xia Muqing sneered. “I’m sorry, but no one taught me when I was young.”

Xia Jingtian’s expression darkened. He remembered the purpose of his visit and his expression softened. “I know that I’ve neglected you previously, so when I heard that you’re back, I rushed over to see you. You’re the daughter of the Xia family. How can you stay in such a place?”

He surveyed the courtyard with obvious contempt.

His words surprised Xia Muqing. What was he up to? She said, “No matter how dilapidated this place is, it’s still a hundred times better than my courtyard in the Xia family.”

Xia Jingtian’s expression darkened but he smiled again. “I’ll give you the garden that you like previously. Didn’t you like it a lot?”

This made Xia Muqing even more surprised. What was Xia Jingtian up to?

Xia Jingtian added, “Come back with me. After all, the Xia family is your home.”

Xia Muqing was curious and nodded in agreement.

Jiang Yifan was a little worried. Xia Muqing signaled him with her eyes and left with Xia Jingtian.

She followed Xia Jingtian because firstly, she wanted to know what he was up to. Secondly, the lesson she had taught the Xia family last time wasn’t enough. Back then, she had promised to avenge the original owner of her body. Because of various reasons, she had wasted some time. It was time to make the Xia family pay for what they had done.

Back in the Xia residence, Xia Muqing saw Ruan Yu and Xia Churan waiting at the door as soon as she entered. As for Xia Chuxing, she had already married and entered the Prince’s residence. She just didn’t know how she was doing.

Xia Jingtian seemed to be really happy that she had returned. He smiled and said, “Muqing, I have prepared a huge table of food for you. It’s all your favorite food. You must be hungry after coming back. Come, let’s go eat.”

Ruan Yu and Xia Churan also had friendly smiles on their faces, as if nothing had happened between them before.

Xia Muqing thought that it was odd, but she found it even more interesting.. She followed them into the Xia residence with a fake smile on her face.
