"There's no need for you to plead, I've already decided on this matter. Now, let's pull it out, it can be considered an example to others. Doing such a thing in the mansion, my punishment is considered light." Xia Zhengyan said in a cold voice, his face carried anger, and his chest also heaved up and down intensely.

The domestic servant were all eager to give it a try, but this was after all, the Eldest Miss of the Hou Mansion.

Xia Weilan looked at the jewelry box in domestic servant's hands and understood the answer in her heart. So everything that had happened today was premeditated, this was the first time such a thing had happened since she was reborn.

Very good, very good.

However, the evidence was clearly in front of her. She wanted to refute, but it seemed impossible. It would be better to restrain herself for now. As long as she thought of those 30 boards, her butt would hurt.

"Father, this matter …" Just as Xia Weilan stood up and was about to say something, her body was about to fall down. Yue Er, who was standing beside her, wanted to reach out her hand to support her.

However, it was already too late.

However, at this moment, everyone only saw a series of afterimages rushing over.

Even though Xia Weilan's vision was in darkness, her mind was still clear. She suddenly fell into a warm embrace, this hug was too familiar, so she slowly opened her eyes.

"You!"

"Shh, as long as you obediently stay in my arms."

Her body was not moving, she was only obediently in his embrace.

When everyone saw the person's face, they were all about to flare up, but when they saw his face, they all kneeled down.

"This subject greets decedent."

"I pay my respects to decedent."

Such voices rose and fell one after another, accompanied by the sound of everyone kneeling on the ground.

"I gave those jewelry to her a few days ago, why does marquis feel that there's a problem?" Ling Jue held Xia Weilan in his arms, dressed in a bright red robe, and the cinnabar mark on his forehead became even more devilish, as he spoke softly, as if he was filled with boundless dignity.

Although she said that to Xia Zhengyan, her eyes involuntarily turned to look at Ling Jue, only to see that Ling Jue's eyes were fixated on Xia Weilan who was in her arms.

Without Ling Jue's words, no one dared to stand up, and the expression on their faces were all extremely respectful. Hearing Xia Yulan's words, the expression on Xia Zhengyan's face looked a little ugly.

In an instant.

Who didn't know that he was the son of the Battle-King, even if it wasn't out of respect for him, the decedent was still up there. Since the Battle-King was established, he had contributed greatly to the battle.

"Yes, decedent's words are reasonable." A bit of sweat appeared on his forehead, and the expression on his face also became somewhat subtle.

Xia Yulan's body had already retreated a long time ago, when she heard Ling Jue speaking, her body stopped moving, her face flushed red, her heart felt like it was being hit by a little deer, but, when she looked at Xia Weilan in her arms, she felt a bit sad and annoyed.

"Get up." Ling Jue said coldly.

Only then did Xia Zhengyan and the rest of the Hou Mansion dared to stand up.

The Second Aunt shook her head, meaning to tell Xia Yuying not to continue following this matter, but this made Xia Yulan even more unwilling. After being humiliated a few days ago, her heart was a lot happier, but now, everything was ready, why did the east wind suddenly become the northwest wind?

Xia Yuying was not satisfied with this outcome.

"Crown Prince's words are not right. That pink hairpin was obviously my daughter's. Why did it become your gift to Big Sister now?" Xia Yuying was the first to walk out, kneeling on the ground, he spoke without dodging his gaze in the slightest.

Xia Weilan stared at the man above him and only thought of one word, and that was to be a hero and save the beauty.

It was just like the time when Ling Xuan saved her in danger. That time, Ling Xuan's help was silent, but the current Ling Jue, was actually this tyrannical. This caused her to be at a loss of what to do.

She was only struggling to get out of his embrace now, but the moment she tried to use the strength s on her hands, she felt that the strength above her head had become even heavier, and she was completely unable to struggle free.

When Xia Zhengyan saw Xia Weilan's actions, a hint of surprise flashed past his eyes. Just as she was about to think about what she was doing, she suddenly met Ling Jue's eyes and he hurriedly lowered her head.

"What you mean is, that hairpin is yours? Bring the hairpin over here. " A hint of iciness flashed across Ling Jue's narrow eyes.

Hearing his tone, how could the people under him dare to disobey?

Ling Jue picked up the pink hairpin, and at the moment, his hand was gently stroking the hairpin, and his gaze was always on the hairpin.

Everyone held their breath, not daring to speak.

"How do I look? This is a gift from this decedent to Lan Er. Take a good look." Ling Jue said, and then threw the hairpin in her hand towards Xia Yuying's dinner, and then placed it on the ground in front of Xia Yuying, producing a clear sound.

Xia Yuying's eyes lit up as she picked up the hairpin on the ground and looked at it carefully. This was the only thing that she could be sure of.

After looking carefully, her face gradually revealed the shock of expression s, and then disbelief. She did not understand, how could this be?

"This is impossible, absolutely impossible!" Xia Yuying was extremely shocked in her heart. Her eyes were opened wide, and kept wiping the hairpin with her hands. She did not believe it was possible!

A strange smile appeared on Ling Jue's face, a cold glint could be seen in his narrow and long phoenix eyes, the cinnabar mark between his eyebrows became even brighter, as if it could take away a person's mind.
