Chang Yuanzhi and Lu Tianzuo came down to ask Yi Qing what was going on. Yi Qing told them according to her own idea, and naturally they were extremely surprised.
"You said this is General Xiao's flesh and blood. May I ask in which month were you pregnant? Where did you meet General Xiao?"
Yi Qing replied calmly, "In September and October of the 27th year of Renhe, I happened to meet General Xiao who was exhausted on his way back to the city outside Licheng. I took care of him for two nights."
Licheng was a border town that was deeply troubled by the invasions of the Northern Di people. It was also the place where Xiao Jinghan became famous in a battle.
"What were you doing in Licheng?"
Calculating the time, they didn't find any flaws for the moment.
"People in the village introduced a business to me. Someone offered a high price for me to go to Licheng to do something. Forced by the need to make a living, I agreed, which led to my reunion with General Xiao. All these things can be traced, with both human and material evidence," Yi Qing said.
She had planned all the details, so she was confident.
As long as she stayed calm, there would be no one to prove her wrong.
Chang Yuanzhi's eyes kept turning. His mind was working so hard that he almost ran out of steam. After reacting for a while, his look towards Baozi became more and more loving. He had thought so! How could there be such a smart and cute child? It turned out to be General Xiao's offspring!
It was said that General Xiao preferred men. Now let those gossiping people come and have a look. It would blind their dog eyes!
Lu Tianzuo tugged at Chang Yuanzhi's sleeve and whispered in his ear, "What do you think?"
Chang Yuanzhi still replied gruffly, "It's not mine. Why are you asking me? Just call Guard Xiao here, and everything will be clear."
Guard Xiao?
Yi Qing was stunned. Who was this?
Lu Tianzuo looked into her eyes and said with a half - smile, "Miss Xu may not know that Guard Xiao is General Xiao's personal secret guard and never leaves his side. So, to verify the truth of what you said, we just need to call him here and ask."
Yi Qing panicked.
She had calculated everything, but never expected such a powerful existence as a secret guard.
It was all over now. Once her lie was exposed, instead of intimidating those villains, she might even be arrested!
Then, she would have no choice but to become someone's concubine.
Unexpectedly, Baozi reminded her.
The little guy said unhurriedly, "Since he is a personal secret guard who never leaves his side, where was he when my father was exhausted and alone? Why didn't he save him? Such a secret guard is not worth having!"
Yi Qing suddenly realized that no one had appeared even when Xiao Jinghan was on the verge of death. What a useless secret guard!
She had almost been led astray by Lu Tianzuo. Her psychological quality needed to be improved. She really wasn't good at lying!
So she pretended to stroke Baozi's head and said, "It's a pity that even a child like you understands this, but some people still want to scare others. It's really laughable."
Lu Tianzuo: "..."
Was he blind just now? Who was panicking?
He now felt that there must be something fishy about Yi Qing. So he made a gesture and asked someone to invite the guard.
Yi Qing had just calmed down from her shock and was secretly happy about having such a helpful assistant. However, when she saw Guard Xiao approaching, her heart started pounding again.
This time, it wasn't because of nervousness but because of amazement.
How could there be such a good - looking man!
He was about eight feet tall, with sword - shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, and thin lips slightly pursed. His three - dimensional facial features were as if finely carved. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, walked with a powerful gait, and exuded a cold and imposing aura.
Did he have some Hu blood in him?
He was so good - looking! This was exactly the kind of man Yi Qing often dreamed of at night - the kind of man she fantasized about when imagining being hit by a windfall and then keeping a gigolo to reach the peak of her life!
Yi Qing even thought that luckily Xiao Jinghan didn't look like this. Otherwise, with Baozi looking so ordinary in the crowd, who would believe he was the son of such an extremely handsome man?
How fortunate!
"Guard Xiao, this Miss Ming said that she had a brief romance with General Xiao and gave birth to a son for him," Lu Tianzuo said concisely.
Yi Qing felt she must be having an illusion. Why did she think there was a hint of smile in Lu Tianzuo's eyes?
She must be blind.
Xiao Jinghan was dead. Lu Tianzuo couldn't be smiling.
Guard Xiao waved his sleeve and said, "It's all nonsense."
