When Xia Fan came out of the Wanhua Building with the Bloody Hand, the Blood River, and the Bai Xingshu, Qingyang City was still shrouded in an early morning mist.

The rain is still falling, but it has become much more sparse.

Sitting in the rented carriage, Xia Fan did not chat with Bai Xingshu, but squinted his eyes alone, leaning on the backrest of the carriage, introspecting.

Ning Fei'er's words seemed to give him a slap in the face, which made Xia Fan suddenly realize that in the past few months after the rework, I don't know if it was because of the smooth sailing that he had always lived, so that his sense of urgency and caution at the beginning of the rework was gradually lost.

Especially after reworking, he still has the accumulation of the previous life, so that Xia Fan has never been able to feel the real pressure in the current environment.

All of this made Xia Fan's mentality relax little by little in a few months, and the illusion that everything was under control made him lose the caution he should have.

This state is undoubtedly very dangerous!

If it weren't for Ning Fei'er's reminder today, maybe Xia Fan still wouldn't have noticed the changes in his body.

Fortunately...... Ning Fei'er's reminder came in time, but this result would make Xia Fan more distressed.

"Sure enough, living too comfortably can really make people slack off, and if I always live in an environment where even the slightest mistake will kill me, I can't take it for granted."

Xia Fan said to himself.

"What are you talking about, sir?"

Xia Fan's voice was too small, and Bai Xingshu, who was sitting opposite, didn't hear it clearly, and asked.

"It's nothing, it's just introspection, how did you guys play last night?"

Xia Fan didn't answer Bai Xingshu's question, and directly diverted the topic.

"The bloody hands of the blood river have been drinking, I practiced calligraphy for a while, and in the second half of the night, we asked for a room in the Wanhua Building, and then rested. The wine there was too light to taste, so I didn't drink it. ”

Bai Xingshu said simply.

"Too light? The wine in Wanhualou can be regarded as the best wine in Qingyang City, even compared to the fine wines that can be bought in Dongshan County Mansion, it is definitely not much better. You're not very old, but I didn't expect this taste to be very tricky. I'm really getting more and more curious about your background. ”

Xia Fan said with interest.

Bai Xingshu was silent for a while, as if he had thought about it in his heart, and then he spoke: "Sir, when Xingshu can speak, Xingshu will never hide anything from you, Sir, but not now." ”

"This is your private matter, and it is naturally your freedom to say it or not. I'm just curious, and I don't have anything else in mind. For me, no matter what your background is, you are still my scholar after all, and ...... Just my schoolboy. ”

Xia Fan said with a smile.

Bai Xingshu blinked, then nodded with a serious face: "Yes, sir, I am just your scholar." ”

……

……

When Xia Fan took a few people to return the carriage and then returned to the ancestral house, the old housekeeper was already waiting at the door of the ancestral house.

After seeing Xia Fan and his party, the old housekeeper directly stepped forward to stop a few people, and then led a few people towards the direction of the patriarch's mansion.

"Steward Zhou, have you been waiting for me all morning? Did something important happen? ”

Steward Zhou's pace was a little fast, and Xia Fan followed behind Steward Zhou and asked softly.

"What's going on...... Don't you know? ”

Listening to Xia Fan's inquiry, Steward Zhou suddenly stopped, looked back at Xia Fan, and said very meaningfully.

"I spent a very good night in Ning Fei'er's boudoir last night, and of course I don't know what happened in the family."

Xia Fan said as a matter of course.

It's just that when he talked about Ning Fei'er's boudoir, he accentuated his tone.

The old butler knew it and said no more.

The group soon came to Xia Ya's study, and to Xia Fan's surprise, Ye was still in the study.

Suddenly seeing Ye Yi, it really made Xia Fan feel as if he had been caught and raped in bed, although nothing happened between him and Ning Fei'er, but after all, he spent the whole night in Ning Fei'er's boudoir.

For a woman, this kind of thing is already equivalent to a capital crime, right?

"It's still there, that ...... I didn't know my father was looking for me...... Is there something going on?

Although Xia Fan was a little weak-hearted, his face did not show it at all, and after entering the study, he leaned lazily against the wall, leaned over and said.

"Where were you last night?"

Xia Ya sat at his desk, glanced up at Xia Fan, and asked.

"Uh...... You are still asking me this question in person...... Isn't it a bit out of place? ”

Xia Fan scratched his head and asked tentatively.

"There's nothing inappropriate, I know you went to Wanhua Mansion last night, and there were some stories between you and the Ning family in Wanhua Building."

Ye still said suddenly.

The voice was extremely cold, which made Xia Fan's heart chuckle.

"Ahem...... The news spread so fast...... It's only been one night's work, and it seems like I know everything. ”

Xia Fan said with some embarrassment.

"Your movement is so loud, and the Ning family has such a special status in our Qingyang City, it is normal for this kind of thing to spread all over a certain circle overnight. Moreover...... Isn't that exactly what you'd like to see? ”

Xia Ya said.

Xia Fan was just about to continue the gag, but Ye still grabbed ahead of him, and said expressionlessly: "Confirm the news, I don't have anything else." Uncle Xia, let's talk about your affairs, I'll go back first. As for Xia Fan, I need an explanation from you. ”

After speaking, Ye still didn't look at Xia Fan again, turned around and walked straight out of the study.

It wasn't until Ye still left the house that Xia Fan breathed a sigh.

"I won't ask more about the matter between you and Yiyi, you can handle it yourself. The reason why I asked Uncle Zhou to wait for you at the door and brought you directly to me is because I have one thing to tell you, so that you can be mentally prepared in advance. ”

Xia Ya leaned forward, his elbows propped up on the top of his desk, and his two hands were crossed with his fingers pressed against his chin.

"About ...... What about the Great Elder and the Third Elder? ”

Xia Fan raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Well, also including...... Junkai. For me, it doesn't matter if you know what happened last night or not. Because my purpose has been achieved. Anyway, I'll do it today. In addition to the three of them, several other important figures are already under control. If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't for appeasing everyone in the entire family, if it wasn't for really getting them to give up and despair completely, I wouldn't have waited so long until now. ”

Xia Ya nodded and said.

"Is there anything I need to do?"

"No matter how careful you are in handling them, it is bound to cause a certain degree of negative impact. In order to avoid the Liu family taking advantage of the danger of others, I will use the medicine tripod as bait, and the main purpose is to use this matter to involve the energy of the Liu family. So next I need you to represent the family and the Liu family in this lawsuit. It doesn't matter if you win or lose the whole lawsuit, as long as it lasts long enough, it's fine. And during this time, I will knead the whole family together, can I do it? ”

"It doesn't sound like a difficult thing to do."

"There are a lot of things that you don't find difficult if you don't do them."

"I see, leave it to me."
