Chapter 33 "Untying the Knot"

In the third month, the atrium is just shining on the pear blossom snow, the room is clear, and the Yiren sit alone on the railing. It was now the middle of March, and the weather was gradually getting warmer, and the three of them had been in Xiao Xinyi's room for two nights, and finally persuaded the three of them to leave. Xiao Xinyi was sitting at the head of the bed looking at the shining full moon in the sky through the window, and suddenly felt that a shadow was approaching her, and she didn't panic at the moment, she could appear in front of her without knowing a ghost, even if she couldn't beat him. Besides, this is Zhuge Villa, except for people with the surname Zhuge who will have such a great ability to break into the house of Zhuge Villa at night. Sure enough, the person who came out of the shadow of the moonlight was Zhuge Qinghong of the Yushu Linfeng Star Eyebrow Sword Eyebrow. At this time, he changed out of the light blue shirt he was always wearing, and changed into a moon-white robe, which complemented the moonlight tonight.

"Xin'er." Zhuge Qinghong's voice was a little hesitant.

"Master Zhuge ." Xiao Xinyi went down the mountain for just a few days, although he didn't know too much about the current situation in the rivers and lakes, but he also heard a lot of people and things in the rivers and lakes along the way. It's just that I don't know what the world would feel if they knew what it would be like for a gentle and upright humble gentleman in their eyes to climb through the window and enter the woman's boudoir in the middle of the night.

"I don't know if the son came to visit late at night, what advice do you have." Zhuge Haochu must have told him about her worship of her parents, and now that he knows that the Zhuge family has not harmed her Xiao family, why bother to act like it again.

"There's nothing to refer to, just want to see if you're better." A calm and calm appearance, as if he was invited by the master to talk in the warm sun of the clear sky. "I just don't want you to have a break."

......

Saying this, he was still frightened by Xiao Xinyi, who was not resting in the room.

"Mr. Lao is here, I am in good spirits, please don't worry about running around again." Xiao Xinyi said faintly.

"It's the best, you just woke up, you still need to rest more, don't be so sad anymore, I'm leaving." After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Master Zhuge ." Xiao Xinyi, who was behind him, suddenly spoke. Zhuge Qinghong's foot had not yet fallen, and he stumbled when he heard the voice behind him, but he quickly stabilized his figure.

"There are some things that are difficult to say in front of people, but today Gongzi is here, and I ask Gongzi to bring a message to the alliance leader on my behalf." Xiao Xinyi's voice sounded behind him.

"What's the matter?" Zhuge Qinghong asked.

"Today's Xiao Xinyi is still the daughter of a traitor in the eyes of outsiders, although the court no longer pursues the affairs of the year, but after all, Zhuge Villa has married the important ministers of the court, and I am too close, I am afraid that one day my identity will be exposed, it will affect Zhuge Villa by the court suspicion, I hope that tomorrow the alliance leader can inform the things related to the year, and help me clear up the grievances of my father as soon as possible. I'd better get out of here as soon as possible, and don't let the villa be burdened by me. After saying this, Xiao Xinyi closed his eyes and stopped looking at him.

She couldn't say these words to Zhuge Haochu, who was much older, because she knew that saying these words would inevitably hurt his father and son, but she would rather his father and son hate her for being ruthless and unjust, and she didn't want to see Zhuge Villa get involved in the incident ten years ago again.

An invisible pressure forced Xiao Xinyi to open his eyes, but at the moment he opened them, he almost exclaimed, Zhuge Qinghong's eyes reflecting the cold moonlight were close in front of him, the cold was pressing, Xiao Xinyi could even see her reflection in his eyes.

"You think what you're going to do next will affect me? Involved in Zhuge Villa? Zhuge Qinghong asked in a low voice.

Xiao Xinyi's fingers moved slightly, and the two silver needles were already pinched in her hands. The silver needle flashed a little cold light in front of Zhuge Qinghong's eyes: "Please respect yourself."

Zhuge Qinghong slowly straightened up, turned his back to Xiao Xinyi and said: "Zhuge Villa has its own reason for doing things in Zhuge Villa, and the matter of Cang'an Villa, even if there is no Xiao Xinyi, Zhuge Villa will investigate to the end and reveal the things of the year to the world." It was the first time Xiao Xinyi heard Zhuge Qinghong's cold voice. "As for what you said about marrying important officials of the imperial court, it is just an expedient measure, and when the matter of ten years ago is clarified, I will use this to ask the emperor to withdraw his will. My Zhuge Qinghong's wife must be the person I like, not just anyone can step into my Zhuge Villa's house. After saying this, Zhuge Qinghong walked out of the room without looking back, leaving behind a broken moonlight.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Xinyi's body was fine, so he asked Zhuge Haochu to go to say goodbye, through the elegant and unique nine-song corridor, Zhuge Haochu was reading in the study, Liu Wu sat on one side and sewed a dark man's robe, the fine and dense stitches were very exquisite, and he saw Xiao Xinyi coming from a distance and putting down the needle and thread in his hand.

Xiao Xinyi turned the corridor and saw the inseparable Zhuge husband and wife, the relationship between the two of them seemed to be very good, and they were together almost all the time. Zhuge Haochu only had two wives in his life, and when Mu Huasheng was there, Liu Wu was just a concubine, and after Mu Huasheng's death, Liu Wu became a stepmother, but Zhuge Haochu never accepted a concubine again.

Liu Wu stood up and greeted Xiao Xinyi, who was slightly hesitant, and said, "Miss Jiang just woke up yesterday, why don't you rest for two more days."

Xiao Xinyi saluted her and replied: "Mrs. Lao is worried, the younger generation is no longer in trouble, and today I am here to thank the alliance leader."

Zhuge Haochu had heard the conversation between the two in the room, put down the book in his hand and said, "Miss Jiang, please come in."

Xiao Xinyi no longer hesitated when he heard his voice, and immediately walked into the study quickly and saluted: "The junior Jiang Haitang has seen the alliance leader, and he came to thank the alliance leader for saving his life that day."

"Miss Jiang's words are serious, but it's just a gesture." Zhuge Haochu replied, his face was pale and he couldn't see his expression.

"Today is also here for resignation, and the younger generation still has the teacher's life in his body, so he doesn't dare to stay longer." Xiao Xinyi hesitated for a moment when he said this.

Zhuge Haochu pondered for a moment and instructed Liu Wu: "Madam, you go and find Yin'er."

Liu Xu said that she had withdrawn from the room, Zhuge Haochu looked at her back and turned the corridor, got up and walked from behind the desk to Xiao Xinyi, and asked with a kind face: "Xin'er, is there really no problem with your body?" It's like the two of them just now.

"Back to the alliance master, the younger generation has studied medicine since childhood, and the body is naturally easier to recover than ordinary people, and it is indeed no big problem." Xiao Xinyi replied respectfully.

"Don't you still want to call me uncle?" Zhuge Haochu asked with a somewhat gloomy expression.

"Zhuge ... Alliance leader, Xiao Xinyi has no shame to call you uncle again. Xiao Xinyi replied softly.

"Why?" Zhuge Haochu didn't expect her to say this, and asked in surprise.

"In the past few years, I have always believed in my heart that you are the traitorous villain who stole the Five Lakes and harmed Cang'an Villa in an unkind and unjust manner, and a few days ago at your birthday banquet, he was even more rude to you, and it was not until I returned to the mountain that I learned that the leader of the alliance was not Mingzhe who retreated with his body, and a few days ago I knew that you had been a great kindness to the Xiao family for so many years, and now Xiao Xinyi still has the face to call you uncle." Xiao Xinyi finished speaking in one breath, and a trace of pain spread in his heart.

"Child, I and your father are like brothers, when your father was alive, we were not separated from each other, your brothers and sisters have been treated as biological children since childhood, and still today, you can solve the misunderstanding of me, I am very happy, no matter what you do to me, you are like my own daughter in my heart, how can a father be angry with his daughter." Zhuge Haochu looked at Xiao Xinyi's eyes with tears welling up, and suddenly became at a loss: "Why are you still crying, blame me, blame me, I shouldn't mention the things of the year."

"Uncle, you have suffered for so many years." Xiao Xinyi rarely cried, but this time she was moved because of self-blame.

"If it was my Zhuge family who had an accident back then, your father would definitely devote his life to seeking justice for me, which is the love between our brothers." Zhuge Haochu said this softly, and then let out a long sigh, and there seemed to be a flash of water in the corner of his eye.

Zhuge Haochu saw Liu Wu coming from a distance with Zhuge Qinghong, and said to her: "Please Madame order the kitchen to make a few specialty dishes, and today I will see off the distinguished guests of the Double Holy Gate."

Liu Wu was stunned for a moment, and saw Xiao Xinyi bowing his head and saluting her before coming back to his senses and saying, "Yes, alliance leader."

After the catkins retreated, Zhuge Qinghong stepped into the study and bowed to Zhuge Haochu: "Father."

Zhuge Haochu nodded and said to him, "Yin'er, tell me about the things you have found out in the past few years."

"Yes, father, ten years ago, there were very few people who knew the inside story of the siege, and the head of the head who was directly involved in that incident died one after another for various reasons, and the clue of the head involved has been broken. A few years ago, the people who were sent to the military camp to find He Zhiyuan's subordinates have not made progress until now. Fortunately, the child has been tracking the gang of thieves who suddenly appeared for two years, and only inadvertently found some clues, they were the first organization formed ten years ago, about their leader, the purpose of the establishment is currently unknown, but look at their style of behavior is not like a simple robbery, as if they are looking for something, and now it is only speculated that it will be related to the events of ten years ago, and there is no conclusive evidence and do not dare to act rashly, in case they are startled. The child found out that they had a fixed place to stay in Surabaya City, and the surrounding area was closely monitored, but nothing was found so far. Zhuge Qinghong's face was solemn, and sure enough, the situation was bleak.

Xiao Xinyi heard it with mixed feelings in her heart, it turned out that his father and son had done so many things over the years, and they had never given up helping Cang'an Villa clear their grievances, but she had always been suspicious of them, and she said something like that last night, no wonder Zhuge Qinghong would be so angry. Xiao Xinyi turned to look at Zhuge Qinghong and said, "Master Zhuge Gongzi, more..."

"I said I didn't want to hear you say thank you to me." Xiao Xinyi's thank you words were swallowed back by Zhuge Qinghong's cold voice.

Zhuge Haochu looked at the somewhat awkward atmosphere between the two, and said with a smile: "Xin'er, you recognize me as an uncle, why do you still call him Gongzi, you still call him Ah Yin like when you were a child."

Zhuge Qinghong was stunned when he heard this, no one has called this name for a long time.
