On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the Xie family opened the ancestral hall, and almost all the principals of the Xie family were present, and the Mo city lord and his wife also rushed to the scene to witness in person, which surprised the Xie clan.

"After all, it is our opening that has naturally had a beginning and an end, not to mention that Brother Xie and I are friends for eight worships, not outsiders, and it is a rare happy event to accept Miss Seven into the family tree, so let us have some joy as a couple." Mo Wenxi's words were not leaky, and they all said that they would not hit the smiling person, even if the people of the Xie family felt that their husband and wife were too enthusiastic about this matter, they were not easy to open their mouths to drive people away, so they could only invite them and their husbands into the mansion.

Xie Qingning was dressed very solemnly today, but her expression was a little indifferent, she followed the elder Xie Jian, who was in charge of clan affairs, and all the descendants of the Xie family after paying homage to their ancestors, and personally held the spiritual seat of her mother Xie Lanying to present the divine case, and bowed to the incense, and their mother and daughter could be regarded as truly returning to the Xie family and recorded in the family tree.

"Qingning, according to the seniority of the clan, you are also a Huazi generation, and you should have justified your name today, but after all, your mother is unmarried and pregnant, and you are not the complete bloodline of the Xie family, so you ......," Xie Zhongshu explained to Xie Qingning with some embarrassment, but she smiled disapprethoughtly and said, "The meaning of the eldest uncle Qingning understands, it doesn't matter if the name is correct or not, as long as the Xie family no longer treats me as an outsider." ”

Hearing this, the knot between Xie Zhongshu's eyebrows disappeared instantly, and he seemed to let out a long breath before saying, "How come?" From now on, you are a member of my Xie family, and naturally there are people from the Xie family who will stand out for you. ”

Who is rare? Xie Qingning scolded in his heart, his eyes drifted to the second uncle Xie Zhongchun who was standing beside Xie Zhongshu intentionally or unintentionally, but he didn't have any superfluous words from beginning to end, and he didn't even glance at Xie Qingning alone, as if there was no grudge between them, just an uncle-nephew relationship.

The corners of Xie Qingning's lips hooked slightly, revealing a slightly sarcastic smile.

But since the other party didn't mean to put their grievances on the surface, she didn't need to expose them, since she wanted to play yin, then it would be up to her to see who was more ruthless than whom, she thought.

After coming out of the ancestral hall, the Xie family set up a banquet according to the practice of previous years, and there was a place in the mansion, so Xie Qingning took the time to ask Xie Huazhao to invite Elder Nanshan Xiao over, and the two met alone in a secluded courtyard.

"The elder must still remember Qing Ning, right?" Xie Qingning stood under the sunshine of the Xiangjiang River and asked with a smile.

She combed her hair in a phoenix bun today, and a golden step swayed in the white bead flower inlay, which looked particularly dignified and beautiful, and was different. In addition, her skin is like clotted fat, she can be broken by blowing, her phoenix eyes are slightly raised, she seems to be smiling but not smiling, her sandalwood lips are slightly open, and the faint fragrance is swallowed, which actually made Nanshan Xiao see the woman who always has a flying expression and a smile on her eyebrows, and she blushed after a long time of confusion and said, "How can you not remember, Miss Seventh is very beautiful, and she has long been the focus of Xie Fu." ”

"Really?" Xie Qingning gathered the silver cloak, covering the white neck and the tight collarbone that was open in the wind at the neckline of the winter coat, and said with a slight drop in his eyes, "Qingning invited the elder today, mainly to ask about my mother, I wonder if the elder is willing to tell me a thing or two?" ”

"Your mother?" Nanshan Xiao was stunned for a moment, and his expression gradually became sluggish.

Seeing the change in his mood, Xie Qingning raised his eyebrows, but he didn't ask immediately, just waited quietly, waiting for him to clear his thoughts, waiting for his heart to roll, waiting for him to think about what he should say and what not to say.

The cold wind blew, and the vines that had long withered moved with the wind, and a few dead leaves swirled and fell, which blinded Nanshan Xiao's sight and also made him feel a bleak emotion in his heart.

He sighed before he slowly spoke, "Lan Ying has been free and easy all her life, and her Tianzi is no less than many children in the Xie clan, but it's a pity that her personality is too strong, so it's really embarrassing to end up in such a situation." ”

Speaking of her mother, although Xie Qingning didn't have much impression of her, she still remembered that when she came back in this life, it happened that she fell to the ground, and before she opened her eyes, she heard the woman's weak and soft voice ringing in her ears, "Child, mother only hopes that you will be innocent and peaceful in this life, and you will be called Xie Qingning." Mother is useless and can't protect you, but I still hope that you can be ordinary and ordinary, spend this life happily, and don't leave regrets. ”

Xie Qingning thought of the past, his expression was inevitably a little stunned, and his eyes were also mixed with a few traces of speechless and choked desolation, which made Nanshan Xiao silent for a moment before saying, "Miss Seventh is now included in the Xie family's genealogy, Lan Ying can also accept the incense of all the Xie family's children from now on, if she has a spirit in the sky, she should be able to feel at ease." ”

Peace? Is it really reassuring? Xie Qingning couldn't help but smile coldly in his heart, put away the sadness on his face and asked, "Elder Nan, I invite you today to actually have three questions, please solve my doubts, if you know, tell them the truth, Qingning is grateful." ”

"Questions?" Nanshan Xiao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said with a shy face, "Although I am the position of Elder Keqing, in fact, I am only sending people under the fence, and I can't say anything, even if I still have some friendship with Lan Ying, but because of the difference between men and women, I can't help her much in many cases." And in order to cultivate, I often travel and rarely stay in Lanling City, so I haven't been able to take care of you in the past few years, I'm really sorry for Lan Ying's friendship with me. But if you ask today, I will know everything I know, and I will say everything. ”

Xie Qingning left home when he was young in his previous life, so he didn't know this Elder Nanshan Xiao, listening to his explanation today, I thought to myself that he, as an elder of Keqing, was indeed just sending people under the fence, and he had to look at people's faces, and he really couldn't help himself, but he didn't mean to blame him. So Wan Er smiled and said, "Elder Nan said that he was outside, how could Qing Ning blame you." The three questions I want to ask, if you really don't know, tell the truth, Qingning will start to find out from other places, and it will not make you embarrassed. ”

"What's the problem?" Nan Shanxiao shook his head lightly, "Although the Xie family has a big business, it is not as strong as the rest of the immortal cultivation families in the city after all, and the intrigues and tricks in the inner courtyard of the deep mansion also make me ashamed, and I don't care about it, if this place really can't tolerate people, Nan doesn't care about other places." ”

Listening to his words, there was also a lot of dissatisfaction with the Xie family, Xie Qingning just smiled faintly. After all, the two successive generations of the Xie family are unkind, and they are very good at favoring each other for the descendants and branches, not to mention the outsiders who live in the guest house? After a long time, how can people not be separated from morality, and there is no glorious prosperity when the children of the clan were firmly embraced a hundred years ago?

"First, why did my mother leave home in anger and not return for many years? Second, has Elder Nan ever heard that my mother has a powerful magic weapon, where is her whereabouts now? The third question, what are the reasons or conspiracy for my mother's death? ”。

Xie Qingning asked questions repeatedly, and the three questions were extremely sharp, which couldn't help but make Nanshan Xiao frown.
