Fu Shi Liang did not stay in the hall for too long, and then he turned around and walked out.

Even if today was the first day of the new year, he still had to go to Government building. There were reports that those in the south who wanted to set up a cabinet were now ready to move. There was a war going on. It seems that after this, the structure of the Chinese mainland will undergo a huge change.

When Fu Shi Liang stepped out of the door, he was already waiting for him in front of the carriage.

"overseer!" Seeing Fu Shi Liang, the latter quickly performed a standard military salute.

Fu Shi Liang waved his hand, signalling that he did not need this formality. The man glanced at the building behind him, then said: "Tell Uncle Lee that Aunt Xia has returned. He knows what to do."

Liu Pin nodded his head, "I have already informed the butler. She is under martial law in the study room, she can go around anywhere else."

Fu Shi Liang was guarding against Xia Chu.

How could Xia Chu not know about it?

She knew it too well. However, what could she do now? She could only take a step at a time. This man was not that easy to trust, and now, this made Xia Chu feel slightly at ease. If Fu Shi Liang treated her differently from others, she would actually start to worry about herself.

Xia Chu made the person in the kitchen heat up some food and carried it into her room, not coming out again.

She was actually kicked out of the Governor's Mansion by Fu Shi Liang on the New Year's Day.

Xia Chu sat on the bedside and could not help but let out a cold laugh. She turned around and walked into the bathroom, closed the door, took out a cigarette from her bag, and started smoking one after another. Actually, Fu Shi Liang didn't need to do this, even if this man hadn't spoken up, she would have still thought of a way to leave the Beiping on the New Year's Day.

What was the Beiping to Xia Chu?

Her eyelashes trembled a little as she closed her eyes. There was not a single relative here, but they were all strangers to her. No matter how well Fu Shi Liang managed this city, to her, it was still an existence without a trace of warmth.

Thinking about it here, Xia Chu couldn't help but think about her trip to the Japan.

The Suzuki family was a very influential family in the entire Japan. It was not only because a lot of the people in the family served the Great Japan Empire's Imperial Army, more importantly, it was because the clan's business was unshakable throughout the hundred years of history, which was why it had its current scale.

The first thing Xia Chu did when she returned home was to go to the Fragrant Storey. However, she had come to the main house with a furious expression.

Ling Mu Jing Zi was already waiting for her in the hall. Seeing the obvious anger on Xia Chu's face, it seemed to be within her expectations.

"I told you to get close to Fu Shi Liang, what's the result now?" She was half-kneeling on the tatami, holding a cup of sake in his hands. In front of his, Xia Chu discovered a stack of peanuts.

The displeasure in her heart grew even deeper. With a gloomy face, she looked at the woman who still had the same expression as before. She coldly spoke with a smell of gunpowder, "Where's my father?"

"Dead."

This answer, undoubtedly ignited Xia Chu's anger. Her hand that was hanging outside her thigh had already been clenched into a fist, as if she would make a move in an instant.

"I know! Isn't that your masterpiece!? " When she said this, she was gritting her teeth in anger. Every word seemed to pop out from the gaps between her teeth, bringing with it the sound of crackling bones.

"So, I'm asking! Where is his spirit tablet! " In the Fragrant Pavilion, there was no man called Xia Li in the ranking list. He was like a person who did not exist in this world, and even when he died, not a single mark was left behind.

A bit of yin Qi gathered between Ling Mu Jing Zi's brows, it was obvious that she was unsatisfied with Xia Chu using such a tone to talk to her.

"He Xiang, remember this, you are the daughter of our Suzuki family, not the child of someone with the surname Xia!" Ling Mu Jing Zi felt a headache whenever she thought about Xia Chu's feelings for him. Was kinship really that hard to part with?! She never thought of bringing Xia Li's corpse back to the Japan, furthermore, she said: "How can a coward like him be worthy of being in our Suzuki family's Fragrant Palace!"

In this world, Xia Li was probably the only person who could make him experience family love and warmth. But now that Ling Mu Jing Zi described Xia Li in such a way, or to be more precise, slandered him, Xia Chu could not help but walk towards the lady sitting upright, wanting to wave his fist.

"Rebellion?" These three words caused Xia Chu to stop in her tracks.

She looked at the black muzzle of the gun and at the instant she stood up to aim the gun towards her head. She was shocked.

Suddenly, Xia Chu felt sad.

She looked at the woman in front of her. She called her mother, but from beginning to end, she never felt the slightest bit of warmth from this woman. If one were to speak of warmth, it was a vague memory of that woman's gentle voice. However, it was unknown when it had disappeared. Xia Chu even suspected if it was because she really wanted this warmth too much that she invented such a warm memory.

"Since you, my mother, look down on my father so much, then why did you marry him back then? Where was he not good enough? He is so considerate that he has never contradicted you in any way! But you! Yet, she had always despised him and looked down on him. In the end, she had still personally killed him, hadn't she? What did you promise me before? You said so! As long as I listen to you! I will definitely arrange a good place for you, father! But what do you mean by that! Will you leave him alone with no one to rely on?! He would forever remain in a foreign country! If I had known it would be like this! Why should I go against Sen Sheng! It caused so much grief to so many people! This has caused my father to become even more homeless! "

Her voice was full of complaints. The final honorific was gone. She was aggressive, but also extremely sad.

Hearing Xia Chu's words, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across Ling Mu Jing Zi's face, but she didn't intend to retreat.

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you what happened in the past. As for why I married your father? "Hehe." She chuckled, and there was no lack of contempt in her laughter. "Do you think I want to?" She said coldly, "Xia Li wanting to betray me and take you away, just this one condition alone is already unforgivable. People of the Suzuki family would never allow such a man to enter our Fragrant Pavilion! You don't have to think about it! " These words were extremely vicious.

Xia Chu listened to every word that Ling Mu Jing Zi said, and her heart grew colder and colder.

"You are really, already, incorruptible and cold. Yes, someone like you, even your own daughter can be used as a tool to kill. Father, naturally, won't be in your eyes anymore. "Alright, I understand." She slumped her shoulders down, as if she had just gone through a fierce battle. Her body was already extremely tired. Xia Chu didn't know what to say, she had completely left her back to Ling Mu Jing Zi, and even if the latter wanted her to die right now, she wouldn't be able to resist him anymore.
