Although the Shuai Mansion is loyal and martyrful, some people secretly say that the Xiao family is a group of martial artists who only know how to fight.

But after listening to Xiao Yihan's very far-sighted words, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart, this is that the Shuai Mansion has always stayed away from the court, and she is even more unwilling to get involved in the struggle for power.

Otherwise, with the strength of the Shuai Mansion and the strategic foresight of Xiao Yihan, a rising generation.

If the Xiao family wants to gain power, it is estimated that the Prime Minister's Mansion will have to stand aside, where will it be the turn of the Xue family to make waves until now.

However, Xiao Yihan told her to let go of power and protect herself, Xiao Jinxuan knew that the other party was indeed thinking about her out of good intentions.

After all, Empress Shicai Chen almost got into trouble with her because of her ruling the Sixth Palace.

In fact, Xiao Jinxuan knows better than anyone that the power of being in charge of the harem is a hot potato, and it is inevitable that she will hurt herself by mistake if she takes it for a long time.

But even if Xiao Jinxuan understands these truths, if the Xue family is not completely uprooted for a day, she can't let her power go.

After all, she promised when Emperor Ming was dying that she would assist Zhou Xianrui to stabilize the throne, and Empress Xue assassinated her and Zhou Xianyu several times.

Although both of them were lucky to not die, the grudges accumulated between each other were too deep, if Xiao Jinxuan didn't trip each other with her own hands, she would never be willing in this life.

And putting aside personal grievances, Xiao Jinxuan and Shen Wenqing are like sisters, and now Xue Yuyan is pregnant and eyeing the queen.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan has to help Shen Wenqing stabilize her position no matter what, and everything is still waiting for her to do, and it is simply impossible to relieve power at this time.

And the most fundamental reason why Xiao Jinxuan can't hand over the power is because whether it is Empress Chen or Shen Wenqing, maybe the harem that is safe and quiet can indeed be taken care of in an orderly manner.

But in this eventful season, if Xiao Jinxuan really delegated power, Empress Chen had been suppressed by Empress Xue when she was still a good concubine, and it was self-evident who was higher.

Handing over the power to the West Palace is simply giving Empress Xue a chance to slowly recover, so Xiao Jinxuan does not dare to hand over power at least now.

However, Xiao Jinxuan naturally couldn't talk to Xiao Yijun about this reason, so she had to chuckle gently, and explained lightly:

"Cousin, about my affairs in the palace, Jinxuan knows in her heart. You don't have to worry if you will definitely grasp the proportions, and I have a good relationship with Concubine Shen Zheng, and I will not have any suspicions because of being in power. On the contrary, my cousin has been back in Beijing for a few months, so you must have gone to pay homage to your second aunt. I owe you an explanation for her death, and I will tell you the reason before I arrive at the Shuai Mansion. ”

If you want to explain the cause of Shen Yunchu's death, Xiao Jinxuan thought about it for a while and started talking about her marriage with Zhou Xianyu, so that when the news of the other party's death came, she was suppressed and excluded from going to the family temple for an excuse to make it clear.

Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Jinxuan told the thrilling escape in as much detail as possible.

When talking about Shen Chuyun and others dying to save her, no matter how strong and cold Xiao Jinxuan is in front of people now, her tears still can't stop flowing.

After everything was finished, he looked at Xiao Yihan, who also looked sad, and his hands were clenched into fists, obviously after a glance at Xiao Yihan, who was forcibly suppressing grief.

Xiao Jinxuan's eyes flashed with a trace of undisguised hatred, and she said in a cold voice:

"Since the incident of beating the family temple, I have completely severed relations with the Shuai Mansion. After all, as soon as the second aunt died, in my eyes, except for Brother Yao, none of the Xiao family was my relatives. In addition to the endless hatred that I have experienced in Shuaifu, there is nothing worthy of my nostalgia. And even if Old Madam Xiao passes away today, if it weren't for the person who came to find me, it would be you, Cousin Yi Han. I would never come to any other Xiao family, and the Shuai Mansion has no trace of family affection at all for me Xiao Jinxuan. ”

Looking at the heartless words that came out of Xiao Jinxuan's mouth, Xiao Yijun, as a handsome concubine, has been by his grandfather's uncle's side all the year round, so his sense of belonging is still very strong.

But he couldn't refute Xiao Jinxuan's words, after all, everything the other party had experienced in the Shuai Mansion, if it was him, Xiao Yihan knew that he was afraid that there would be lingering shadows and hatred in his heart.

Therefore, comparing his heart to his heart and empathy, Xiao Yihan really couldn't say a word to blame Xiao Jinxuan.

On the contrary, after thinking about it for a while, Xiao Yihan immediately chuckled, and said in a gentle tone full of kindness:

"Jinxuan, no matter how deep your prejudice against the Shuai Mansion is, I hope that my cousin can become a relative worthy of trust in your eyes. After all, in the letters my mother sent me, I could see that my mother loved you as a daughter. And I also know that since you came to Jingshi, not only did you try your best to cure your mother's cough, but also accompanied her in place of me, an unfilial son. Although my mother died to save you in the end, I know that my mother will definitely see you safe and sound until the moment she dies, so my cousin will definitely not blame you for this. But now that my parents are dead, although I have relatives and grandfathers by my side, I want to love and take care of you as a sister, which can be regarded as a family affection for me. ”

In fact, even if Xiao Yihan didn't say it, Xiao Jinxuan never forgot that before Shen Chuyun died, she told her to have a good relationship with this cousin and go on with each other.

Therefore, seeing that Xiao Yijun did not complain about her because of the death of her biological mother, Xiao Jinxuan was grateful, and she also wiped her tears and nodded vigorously, and then said quite closely:

"Since my cousin is the third in the Shuai Mansion, it's good for Jinxuan to call you the third brother in the future. Speaking of which, since I can remember, except for Wen Yao, my younger brother, I have lived a life where my mother doesn't care about my father. Now that I have a brother who is willing to love me, Jinxuan really can't ask for it. ”

As they talked to each other, Xiao Yihan and Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but feel that the relationship between the two seemed to be much closer than before.

And Xiao Jinxuan lifted the curtain and glanced out, seeing that there was still a while to get to the Shuai Mansion, she immediately couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked:

Shicai only cared about talking to the third brother, but forgot to ask about today's funeral. In fact, if Jinxuan remembers correctly, since the day of the battle, the imperial soldiers were in the palace and rescued the relatives of the handsome mansion who were detained in Ji Lingfeng's hands, and the old lady seemed to be in good shape. How come it was only a few months of hard work that the other party was gone, which was really unexpected. ”

Hearing Xiao Jinxuan's question, Xiao Yihan shook his head with a wry smile, and then said with a sigh:

"Jinxuan, you have always been deep in the harem, and you haven't been back to the Shuai Mansion in the past few months, so you naturally don't know your grandmother's condition. In fact, since the day of the fight, the relatives of the Shuai Mansion were rescued and then sent back to the mansion safely, and the grandmother fainted. After the other party woke up again, his behavior was extremely out of normal, and he just cursed Jinyu's cousin for being unfilial, and he smashed the cup every day, so angry that he fainted again to calm down. My grandmother cried and tossed for months, and then she didn't eat at all. After lying in bed for a few days, he swallowed his last breath this morning, still muttering Jinyu's name. ”

After Xiao Jinxuan silently listened to these words, she couldn't help but remember in her mind that when she first came to Beijing, she saw Old Madam Xiao for the first time in front of the Shuai Mansion.

The other party is so high-spirited, even Zhou Xianrui and the old lady at that meeting dared to refuse this prince outside the mansion, and the momentum is indeed quite the demeanor of the handsome mansion.

But when I thought of this majestic old lady Xiao who had been majestic all her life, she was so angry with her most beloved granddaughter that she went crazy, and she finished her life in a daze.

For a while, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but sigh a lot, feeling that the world was impermanent, and it was really unpredictable.

Thinking about that old lady Xiao, she seemed to have been planning around Xiao Jinyu all her life, but when she came, she was indirectly angry and died in the hands of this granddaughter.

Perhaps this kind of death, in Xiao Jinxuan's opinion, is not the retribution of Old Madam Xiao's domineering and domineering in the past, this is really good and evil will be rewarded in the end. It's not that they don't report it, it's just that the hour has not come.

After the brother and sister in the car chatted and sighed again, the carriage stopped after a while.

Then I saw Wen Xin, who was accompanying him out of the palace, who would roll up the curtain of the car door outside, and then inform Xiao Jinxuan that Marshal Mansion had arrived.

Xiao Yihan was the first to jump out of the carriage, after all, Xiao Jinxuan is now in the position of concubine, and she is now a royal person, so when she came to the Shuai Mansion in person, she had to go in first to return.

After seeing Xiao Yihan's figure disappear into the Shuai Mansion, Xiao Jinxuan was also helped out of the carriage by Wen Xin.

Looking up at the plaque of the mansion covered with white silk, Xiao Jinxuan walked towards the main entrance of the Shuai Mansion in the salute of the nobles of the palace who came to the funeral together.

But just when Xiao Jinxuan was about to walk into the Shuai Mansion half a meter, she suddenly saw a group of people wearing heavy filial piety walking out of it quickly.

And when you see the face of the person who is at the front, even if Xiao Jinxuan has always been calm and calm, she can't help but feel a little nervous in her heart.

Just because the person who came was Xiao Sanjiang, the generalissimo of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the real head of the Shuai Mansion.

In the face of this old marshal who has been fighting all his life and has made great achievements, Xiao Jinxuan's nervousness stems more from a respectful mentality.

After all, her titular grandfather was indeed an admirable elder.

Looking at Xiao Sanjiang, who will come out of the Shuai Mansion, although the other party has white hair, he is even more seventy or eighty years old.

However, Xiao Sanjiang, who has been leading the troops to practice martial arts all the year round, can be called old and strong, is still full of energy, and his gait does not show the feeling of old dragon bell.

plus Xiao Sanjiang's pair of snow-white thick sword eyebrows that are connected to his sideburns, as well as his thick beard, plus the other party's pair of blazing eyes that seem to be staring at him all the time.

The demeanor of the battlefield veteran is really the same as back then, that is, the other party just went to that station, and the aura of shock was naturally revealed.

For this nominal grandfather, although he is not related by blood, Xiao Jinxuan actually respects the other party very much.

After all, Xiao Sanjiang has been fighting horses all his life, and he has made great achievements for the Great Zhou, which in itself deserves anyone's respect.

And Xiao Jinxuan has never forgotten that after she married Ji Lingfeng, the people in the entire Shuai Mansion have almost completely ignored her existence.

However, when this grandfather's class teacher returned to the dynasty and held a family banquet in the Shuai Mansion, the other party thought of her and ordered someone to personally take her back to reunite together.

This matter may have been just a small matter in Xiao Sanjiang's eyes in his previous life, and it is normal.

But for Xiao Jinxuan, who has been excluded and therefore always remembers the kindness of others, even if she still thinks of the other party's goodness until this life, she dare not forget it for a moment.

Therefore, just when Xiao Jinxuan was about to bow to this venerable grandfather from afar, it was almost her knees that bent slightly.

Everyone in the Xiao family, including Xiao Sanjiang who came out, knelt on the ground one step ahead of Xiao Jinxuan, and shouted Niangniang's auspiciousness, and bowed to her in unison.
