The furnishings in the mansion are not as gorgeous as the outside, but they show a sense of depression, and after glancing around, Xie Yaoguang's eyes fell on the side hall where the sound of Jiao came not far away, and a trace of ridicule crossed his eyes.

Just as Xie Yaoguang was thinking about it, Xiao Lingyu walked out from the side and looked at the person in front of him and said coldly, "What are you doing at my house again." ”

"Nothing to do. I have fulfilled my promise to send Xu Tianyue to a safe place. So should you also do what you promised me? Miss Siu. The words fell, Xie Yaoguang's gaze crossed Xiao Lingyu, and landed on a cluster of begonia flowers not far away.

Hearing this, Xiao Lingyu stepped forward to block Xie Yaoguang's sight, and said coldly: "Don't worry, I'll never break my word." Go back, my father is not at home. ”

"Flowers can be broken straight and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches. Master Yu, you have been looking for immortals and asking for medicine for so many years, but you have asked what you want. Raising his eyebrows and glancing at Xiao Lingyu, who looked indifferent, Xie Yaoguang bypassed her and walked a few steps forward, "I'm afraid that in the end, it's not true." ”

These words were so misty that Xiao Lingyu couldn't help but look at Xie Yaoguang suspiciously. She didn't understand what kind of dumb riddle Xie Yaoguang was playing with her father. Before she could ask, there was a loud noise inside, the door opened, and a middle-aged man in a robe came out of it, looking at Xie Yaoguang coldly.

"Guangyuan Zhenjun." Xie Yaoguang called out in his clothes.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. Since the distinguished guest called the old man, how could the true monarch not know that the poor road has been ignoring mundane affairs for many years, and the little girl is responsible for all the big and small affairs in the family. Xiao Yannan didn't pay attention to Xie Yaoguang, but instead looked at the begonia that was blooming not far away.

"Why is Guangyuan Zhenjun so nervous? I have no ill will towards you, the Xiao family, and even less towards Ling Yu. Xie Yaoguang raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled, his eyes soft, "Actually, I came this time to thank you for your righteousness on behalf of His Royal Highness King Jin." Although most of the past has passed away, there are some things that are not allowed to be forgotten. ”

Hearing this, Guangyuan Zhenjun sighed and couldn't help laughing, "Thank you for what I did?" Poor Dao has not cared about mundane things for many years, and he doesn't remember that he has had dealings with King Jin, so I'm afraid that you are thanking the wrong person. It's getting late, and there are still evening classes on the poor road, so I won't be far away. ”

"Have you really forgotten? But it doesn't matter, Your Highness asked me to thank you for saving Tingliao back then, if it weren't for your new good thoughts and intentions to take care of Tingliao, I'm afraid that the child may not be able to live safely in that place where you eat people and don't spit out bones. He stared at Xiao Yannan in front of him with a smile for a long time, and Xie Yaoguang made a long gesture. The courtesy is thoughtful, without any deliberate meaning, and it is completely a heartfelt gratitude.

As if he was reminded of the past that had been buried in his heart for many years, Xiao Yannan's ancient eyes changed slightly, as if after a crack was opened on the ice, countless past events hidden under the ice kept surging and scattering. Between the originally calm eyebrows, it also aroused indescribable sorrow and helplessness.

"So you're here for this. It's not the poor Tao and good thoughts, but that child, Jiren, has his own natural appearance, and everything has a fixed number. When the words fell, Xiao Yannan shook the dust in his hand and turned around and walked into the house.

At this time, Xie Yaoguang lifted the hem of her skirt and chased after her, and flashed into the house the moment Xiao Yannan closed the door.

Seeing Xie Yaoguang passing, Xiao Lingyu hurriedly exclaimed, just as she was about to go in and bring Xie Yaoguang out. Suzaku on the side stretched out his hand to block her way, and stood in front of her and looked at himself respectfully. Suzaku had a very gentle smile on his face throughout.

Xiao Yannan in the room looked at Xie Yaoguang standing in front of him in surprise, moved his lips but didn't say anything. When Xie Yaoguang didn't exist, he walked straight to the futon and sat down cross-legged, picked up the authentic Taoist scriptures on the side, closed his eyes and read silently.

"Marquis Yu, don't worry that the person who shouldn't know Tingliao's identity won't know, and the person who should know will do his best to protect him. You can rest assured that this kid is very good, and now he is already Qin Yan's disciple. After glancing around, Xie Yaoguang also sat cross-legged on the futon like Xiao Yannan, "Tingliao is a good boy, he is very grateful for your life-saving grace." ”

"You're the one who wrote to me?"

Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang nodded and said in a soft tone, "It's me, you're not wrong." When you read that letter, you didn't understand how far things had come? ”

Xie Yaoguang didn't care about the fact that the letter might reveal his identity, after all, the matter was almost over. As long as Lin Chen doesn't know her identity, she can continue to follow her to the ultimate goal without distraction, and finally ascend to the position above 10,000 people.

"Back then, things were confusing. If you have no evidence and want Your Majesty to admit your mistakes, there is little hope. Poor Dao advises you to tell His Royal Highness King Jin, why bother with the old things, and it is not too late to pursue the truth when he ascends the throne and takes power. Turning his head and glancing at Xie Yaoguang, who had a soft look in his eyes, Xiao Yannan shook his head and said lightly.

"This method is safe, but it is not what His Highness wants. His Royal Highness ascended the throne and overturned the case, and he was using power for personal gain, how could the people of the world believe that the old case was an unjust case, but if His Majesty made an edict himself, it would be different. Xie Yaoguang straightened his back and took a deep breath and got straight to the point, "I am ordered by His Royal Highness the King of Jin to specially ask you to look at the face of the deceased and redress the grievances of the case back then." If it comes true, it can ensure that the Xiao family will be safe for a hundred years. ”

Xie Yao's voice was extremely earnest. There was no change between his eyebrows, eyes, lips and teeth, and his eyes stared at Xiao Yannan on the side. His back was straight, his knees were extremely upright, and his request was sincere. There are enough conditions in it to make people move, and the allure on it is even more reveratory.

Even if he handed over all the affairs of the Xiao family to the eldest daughter under the pretext of seeking immortals and asking for medicine, he used this as an excuse to hide from the world for many years. But I have never been in the red dust and have never taken half a step, how can I not be trapped by the chores in the world.

There are more than 100 people in the Xiao family, although most of them do not hold important positions in the court, but they are basically indispensable existences. And because the Xiao family has not paid attention to it over the years, they have basically relied on a few clan brothers to support the Xiao lintel.

Emperor Li may still take care of the Xiao family with his old feelings in the past, but the new emperor may not be a person who has the same ambition as that person after all, how can he tolerate the existence of a declining family like them.

Naturally, the new imperial court also needs new bloodlines to integrate.

"Go back. Poor Dao has its own opinions. ”

The meaning of chasing customers in Xiao Yannan's words is obvious.

After thinking about it, Xie Yaoguang bowed his head slightly, bowed to Xiao Yannan, and then left slowly, and when he walked to the door, Xie Yaoguang turned his head to look at Xiao Yannan on the futon, and smiled lightly.

As soon as he went out and saw Xiao Lingyu standing not far away with a cold face, Xie Yaoguang shook his head, walked around her and walked straight out, signaling Suzaku to follow her.

Seeing that Xie Yaoguang was leaving, Xiao Lingyu chased after him with her skirt and stopped her, and said loudly: "What did you say to my father?" What dumb riddle were you two just playing. ”

Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang raised his eyebrows and chuckled, didn't answer anything, and after his head motioned to Suzaku to invite Xiao Lingyu aside, he walked out.

"Xie Yaoguang, stop me!" In a hurry, Xiao Lingyu couldn't help but shout.

"Miss Xiao, you'd better settle down. Since the lord has said that he will not have ill will towards the Xiao family, he will naturally not, you can rest assured. The slave and maid took their leave. ”

When the words fell, Suzaku turned around to chase Xie Yaoguang, leaving Xiao Lingyu with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Lingyu, who had been thinking about it for a long time, finally decided to dispel the idea of asking her father. After all, according to what she knew about her father, his father might not tell her the truth.
