Chapter 217: If you do anything wrong, you will be called a tyrant
"Sister, this instant noodle you made is really convenient. It is absolutely a must-have when traveling far away. Can you sell it? I'm sure many people will buy it."
"All you talk about every day now is business. Can you think of something else?"
Xia Yun glanced at him sideways and felt that he was very useless.
Xia Yu was not angry, but said very proudly.
"What's wrong with doing business? If it weren't for me, my sister's milk tea shop and beauty salon would never be able to open across the country.
Besides, we made so much money, why didn’t you say that the treasury is full now.”
Xia Yu felt extremely proud. He had thought that he was just helping his sister run the store, but who would have known that his sister would later hand over all the management of the store to him.
Moreover, half of the money earned must be deposited into the national treasury. Now he knows how much money is in the national treasury.
Xia Xuan also nodded in agreement, "That's true. If it weren't for Old Five and your sister making money, the national treasury probably wouldn't be so rich.
Now that the treasury is full, the taxes paid by the people can be reduced, which is a good thing for the people."
Xia Yu was surprised to see that his father was on his side and was praising him, which was something he had never seen before in his life.
He looked at Xia Yun proudly. See? Since his father had said so, let's see what he can say about himself.
Xia Yun ignored Xia Yu and continued eating from his bowl. Xia Qingqing spoke up when she saw this.
"Actually, my second brother is also very good. He is the one who basically educates all the girls around here. Otherwise, if it were just me, it would be very difficult, right, second brother?"
Xia Yun paused while eating, looked at Xia Qingqing's smiling face, twitched the corners of his mouth a few times, and nodded.
"You are all my good children. I was too strict with you before. Now that you have grown up, I don't need to care about you anymore.
Just like your little sister said, it’s up to you to live your life however you want, you have your own path to take.”
Xia Xuan recalled the past few days and realized that he was very strict with the children. Now he feels a little relieved.
Maybe it's because I don't have too heavy a burden on my shoulders that I can say these words.
If it weren't for Xia Qingqing, he might never have said such words in his life.
It was she who taught him that he should speak out whatever he wanted to say. Otherwise, others would not know what he was thinking, which could easily lead to misunderstanding.
When Xia Xuan said these words, everyone's face was filled with shock. This was completely different from the impression they had of their father.
They stopped what they were doing. They never thought that they would feel so honored to hear their father apologize.
"Daddy, you're awesome for actually saying that."
Xia Qingqing has always known that Xia Xuan was under too much pressure. As the ruler of a country, how could he not have pressure? After all, he was carrying the expectations of so many people.
If he did anything wrong, he would be called a tyrant.
Therefore, he had high expectations for his sons and wanted them to be more capable. However, after having Xia Qingqing, he gradually changed his mind.
Although the brothers didn't say anything, Xia Qingqing knew that they were really touched and didn't know how to respond, so they remained silent.
"Okay, let's go after we've eaten."
It was noon, which was the hottest time of the day. They had to eat some dry food and take a rest under the shade of the trees before setting off again. When it was not so hot after a while, they continued on their journey.
They arrived at a town before dark. They had many carriages, so their entry into the town instantly attracted other people's attention.
They randomly found an inn. They had a lot of people and needed a lot of rooms. The innkeepers almost laughed their eyes out when they saw this.
"There are rooms available. Sir, please take a rest first. We will send someone to help you tidy up the room."
Xia Qingqing looked at the shopkeeper from the side. He looked a bit shifty and she didn't have a very good impression of him.
But she still felt that one should not judge a person by his appearance, so she didn't take it seriously.
They packed their things quickly and cleaned up the room in no time. There were not many empty rooms in the inn.
The two best rooms were given to Xia Xuan and Zhou Zi'an, and the remaining room was left for Xia Qingqing to sleep in.
Several grown men like them shared a room, two people to a room, and it was fine for them to stay there for one night.
After putting all the luggage into the room, we went downstairs to eat. After dinner, everyone returned to their respective rooms to pack up and go to bed.
Before returning to the room, Chuntao had asked someone to boil water and put it in the room, so Xia Qingqing only needed to go in and take a bath.
Xia Qingqing felt a little uncomfortable after a whole day's journey. She was about to take off her clothes and take a shower when she heard a noise in the room.
He pulled up the half-removed clothes and carefully checked the corners of the room.
Since it is dark now, a small candlelight is definitely not enough to illuminate the entire room.
She clearly felt a figure swaying in the darkness. Her heart beat faster with every step she took. She was extremely panicked.
In the quiet room, besides the sound of the candlelight, there is also the sound of my heart beating.
"Who is there!"
She asked bravely and clearly felt the figure move. Xia Qingqing wanted to scan it with the encyclopedia, but nothing came out.
What's going on? There are clearly people there.
Xia Qingqing was getting closer and closer to the door, and she only needed one step to run out.
At this moment, the figure in the darkness suddenly moved and ran towards Xia Qingqing. She wanted to call for help, but the man covered her mouth.
She could only make a humming sound. Footsteps were heard outside, followed by Chuntao's voice.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
Xia Qingqing looked at the person opposite her in horror. Half of his face appeared from the darkness, and his half-closed eyes looked very indifferent.
The thin corners of his lips and the angular cheeks, just by looking at him you can tell how indifferent this person is.
"Talk to her, don't tell her I'm here."
A low voice sounded in her ears, and the warm air sprayed on her ears, and the outline of her ears turned slightly redder visibly.
Xia Qingqing nodded, and the figure let go of his hand from her mouth. Xia Qingqing reached out, pulled him away a little, and pointed to the door.
The man thought she was going to talk to someone outside, so he let her go.
Unexpectedly, Xia Qingqing felt that she was let go, so she immediately ran to the door, opened it and shouted.
"Help! There's a thief!"
