How could Xu Shiqiu let such a woman fall into his embrace? Although he did not know the identity of the person, he did not hesitate and directly kicked her out.

After he finished kicking, Xu Shiqiu looked at the palace maid and coldly said: ”Where did all these dirty things come from? I'm not someone that anyone can get close to.” These words were as arrogant and delicate as they could be, but no one felt that anything was amiss.

Disregarding Xu Shiqiu's background, just based on his current identity alone, he was already a level three Martial General in his early twenties.

Also, his Young Girl was highly regarded by the Empress Hu, and everyone in the palace knew that His Majesty liked the Fifth Prince. If the Fifth Prince were to sit in that position in the future, this brother-in-law of his would definitely be highly valued.

Therefore, what Xu Shiqiu said, was something that no one felt to be amiss.

Just as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, the two attendants behind him immediately looked at each other, one of them guarding Xu Shiqiu while the other went to look for someone.

This place was already very close to the palace gates and there were many guards patrolling here. Upon seeing that it was an attendant from the Phoenix Palace searching the place, he also said that Xu Shiqiu had met with some mishaps, so the guards came here very quickly.

With two servants of the Phoenix Palace here, they did not even need Xu Shiqiu to say anything. The two of them started talking about what had happened to them.

”This palace maid looks unfamiliar, I don't know which palace she is from.” ”This place is already close to the palace gates, and she actually rashly charged out to collide with General Xu. From a glance, it can be seen that she isn't a good person.”

”Exactly! ”General Xu, rest assured, this palace maid has seen everything. She will definitely not let this blind person drag you down.”

The two servants said what Xu Shiqiu had to say, so Xu Shiqiu naturally did not waste time explaining himself.

What's more, these two servants both came from Phoenix Palace. Even though they were just small attendants, they came from Phoenix Palace after all, and this alone was different.

”Then I'll go home first. Thank you for the hard work here.” Xu Shiqiu was extremely courteous to the two servants, since there were still other guards around, he did not give them any silver, but said straightforwardly: ”In a while, when we return, I want to report this matter to my family. In a few days, if my wife asks any of you questions, you all must tell the truth.”

Xu Shiqiu's words had two levels of meaning, and one level was naturally that once he returned home, he would take the initiative to tell Dong Shu about this, so the person who caused him to stop thinking about randomly spreading rumors and framing him. The other meaning was that after Dong Shu found out about this, she would find a chance to reward the two servants.

The two servants were extremely happy when they heard Xu Shiqiu's words. They knew clearly in their hearts that the position of the Xu Family Third Madame in the Empress's heart was something that they had spent a lot of effort to obtain after being escorted out of the palace by the Mama Su.

Who would have thought that a good thing would really happen to them.

To be able to be remembered by the, he would definitely be valued a little by the Mama Su in the future.

”General Xu, don't worry. This servant will not let anyone sully your reputation.”

The two servants spoke at the same time, which was very straightforward, causing the guards who were kicked unconscious to glare at Xu Shiqiu.

He hadn't thought that these two attendants would actually have the chance to befriend General Xu.

Who didn't know that General Xu Shiqiu was a martial general highly regarded by His Majesty? With just his contributions in killing the horse bandits, His Majesty wouldn't treat him unfairly.

Xu Shiqiu did not care what the others thought, he was escorted by an attendant out of the palace and did not stay, and directly rode his horse back home.

As to how the things that just happened were resolved, Xu Shiqiu believed that now that the harem was taken over by the Empress Hu, the Empress Hu would definitely not let go of the person behind this incident.

Xu Shiqiu only thought about it for a moment before letting go of this matter. The palace wasn't far from the Xu Family, and he was riding his horse again. However, the four people behind him had turned into two.

When Xu Shiqiu entered the palace, Xu Yanhao and Ye Shuo followed him in, but after the Emperor Ruikang asked him to keep a conversation with them, they let them return home first.

At this time, only Zhang Ping and Xu Jie were following Xu Shiqiu home. Even if it was Xu Jie, he would go straight to his own courtyard on the street behind Xu Family later.

Right now, their family was a side branch of the Xu Family. Naturally, they had to live on the street behind the big house in Xu Family.

Today, when Xu Shiqiu returned home, there were servants already waiting at the entrance. At this time, a sharp-eyed servant saw Xu Shiqiu coming back on horseback from afar, and his eyes immediately lit up, then turned and ran back.

When the other servants saw that he had run away, after a few breaths of time, they realised that Xu Shiqiu had returned, and ran back excitedly.

The two servants who did not make it back in time did not leave. They were guarding the intersection, and when Xu Shiqiu got close, they walked out quickly and paid respects to Xu Shiqiu.

When Xu Shiqiu saw his own servants, he smiled, but before he could speak, he saw his own front door open wide, his mother and Young Girl had led their servants and servants to wait at the door.

Seeing this scene, Xu Shiqiu's eyes turned sour. How could he have the time to bother with the servants? He hurriedly rode his horse and took a few steps forward, then directly dismounted and walked towards the gate.
