Chapter 223: Concealment

He is always grateful to himself for this wise decision, and because of this, he met the love of his life, the woman who wanted him to take care of him for the rest of his life.

After so many years, the words that the queen mother said to him before she died still linger in my ears.

Before he left Beijing, he didn't think that he would be useful to that opportunity, after all, his high-ranking father had nothing to ask for from him.

Even if there were, Mu Fan didn't want to pay attention to him.

What's more, there is nothing at all about him that goes against his mother's wishes.

The queen mother doesn't like him to eat pastries, he hasn't touched it for a long time, the queen doesn't like him to be close to the minions, he stays away, the queen doesn't like him to make too many friends, he is immersed in his own world, the queen mother wants him to marry the fake eldest lady, he doesn't care who it is, as long as he marries.

At that time, Mu Fan only felt that it was good to live according to his mother's wishes, why did he have to do a lot of things, why did he want to fight for any opportunity to change?

But all this has changed after meeting Xia Yan, he broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the pastries, and he didn't feel any fear when he ate the things handed to him by Xia Yan, and those things only had endless sweetness in his mouth.

When I was playing with Xia Yan and the others, my heart was extremely comfortable and quiet, and I didn't have the same fear as before.

Even unprecedentedly, he actually had the idea of asking his father to dissolve the marriage contract.

Together, this thought could never be stopped, haunting his mind all the time, accompanied by the infinite fear that would arise as long as he rebelled together.

Mu Fan knew that the so-called opportunity of the queen mother had arrived.

What he lacked was just an opportunity for his father to beg him.

Now, it seems, the time is ripe.

His father, who had not been in contact with him for many years, actually issued a secret decree to summon him back to Beijing, which was extremely abnormal.

His relationship with his father has long been incompatible, and if it weren't for something important, he wouldn't have called him back when he died.

According to what Mr. Xu said, the time has already come for the west to run out of ammunition and food, which is dangerous for others, but it is a great thing for Mu Fan.

After waiting for so many years, when his father finally asked for him, how could he give up this great opportunity given by God because of danger.

Therefore, no matter who tried to persuade him, he could not stop his determination to return to Beijing.

There are some things that should always be faced, and you can't just shrink back in Bianxi Village and enjoy this temporary happiness.

What he wants is not to be temporary, but to be with his Ah Yan forever.

Mu Fan and Xu Changping were preparing non-stop to return to Beijing, and Xia Yan, who was forced to stay at home, was worried about it for a few days.

Under the persuasion of Xu Changping and Xia Huai, Xia Yan finally extinguished the idea of going to find the Gu Solver in person, and obediently stayed at home to accompany Yan and Xia Huai, because he was worried about the health of the two of them, he didn't even go back to Qin County, and guarded them almost all the time, for fear that something would happen.

Although Xu Changping had assured that this Gu poison would have no effect on Yan's body, and the damage to Xia Huai would not be reflected until three years later, Xia Yan's heart always felt a little unreliable, after all, his seemingly reliable master was occasionally unreliable, and his guarantee Xia Yan didn't dare to fully believe it.

Calm down and think about it carefully, now she really can't leave desperately, after all, she is no longer alone.

In Qin County, there are still many partners waiting for her to go back.

When they decided to follow her, Xia Yan had already secretly sworn that she would be responsible for their future, if she left on impulse, what would those people do?

Therefore, even though Xia Yan's heart was anxious, because he really couldn't leave, he had to stay at home, looking forward to it day by day, hoping that Xu Changping could bring good news as soon as possible.

It's just that the days of waiting at home are not pleasant.

Xia Huai is okay, compared to before, he just talks a little more, after knowing that he has been tricked, he has been trying to restrain himself from saying less, even if he forgets occasionally, he will correct it under Xia Yan's reminder.

Now he is really as Xu Changping explained, cultivating diligently day and night.

Xia Huai was already hard working compared to Xia Yan before, but now he is fighting for his life, except for eating and sleeping, he spends the rest of his time in the practice room to practice.

In his own words, he wanted to provide more internal strength for the Gu worm, so that it could let him live longer, and he would spend more time with his mother and sister.

When David Liang saw the apprentice's desperate appearance, he didn't know whether to be relieved or sad for a while.

He already knew that Mu Fan was going to leave this place, and it was no surprise that he and Xu Changping were also going to leave together.

Yu Gong, he has to be by Mu Fan's side all his life, take care of him, assist him, protect him, and he is private, he doesn't want to serve the master whose temper is difficult to fathom, he just wants to stay with his apprentice, as long as he looks at him growing up, he has an inexplicable sense of achievement.

But the reality made him have no choice, he could only follow Mu Fan and leave, otherwise, he was afraid that it would be a luxury to even see his apprentice in the future.

To be honest, he really wanted to take Xia Huai back to Beijing with him, but whenever this thought arose, Xia Yan's crying little face would appear in front of his eyes, and he didn't dare to mention it.

David Leung, who has always been freewheeling and fearless, fell into a dilemma for the first time in his life.

Since you can't take the apprentice away, let's do a good job, but Xu Changping, that old thing, specially explained to him that he couldn't reveal the news that they were leaving to anyone in the Xia family before leaving, and His Royal Highness wanted to say goodbye to them in person.

David Liang has been wandering among the flowers for many years, so he naturally knows what Mu Fan's move means, it is nothing more than to please Xia Yan.

He has done this kind of thing a lot, and he doesn't want to interfere with the goodbye of the two, but he really wants to yell at Mu Fan: Our well water does not interfere with river water, you play your tricks, can you not affect us, let me say goodbye to my apprentice?

But he didn't dare.

So much so that in the past few days, David Liang looked at Xia Huai and Xia Yan as if they wanted to speak and stopped, which made the two of them inexplicable.

In Xia Yan's eyes, Liang Dawei is not the only one who has been abnormal in the past few days, even her master Xu Changping is always dodging, as if he has something to hide from him.

She asked many times, and Xu Changping prevaricated him with "nothing happened", but there was a strong reluctance on his face.

If he wasn't sure that his body was fine, Master's appearance of life and death would make Xia Yan mistakenly think that he had some incurable disease.

Xia Yan is not a fool, although her master and Master Liang have never said anything, but the appearance of the two of them who want to talk and stop all day long, dodging and dodging also let her know that they have something to hide from themselves.

Xia Yan wanted to go to them and ask them clearly, but the two of them have been busy these days, and even the time to come to see them is much less than before, every time they come over, they only sit for a while and leave in a hurry, even if the chat is around reassuring her, they will definitely try their best to find the Gu solver, she must stay at home obediently and wait for news, he taught her that her homework must be completed seriously, don't be lazy at will, don't just think about making money...... Basically, Xu Changping was talking, and Xia Yan couldn't find the opportunity to ask at all.

When Xia Yan came to visit the two in person, he found that they were basically not at home, and the subordinates in the family were going in and out, constantly packing up something.

The busyness of those subordinates made Xia Yan feel a lot more at ease, she originally thought that the master was hiding something from her brother because of her brother's illness, but now it seems that she is busy with Mu Fan's affairs.

As for what it was, Xia Yan said that she was not interested, she was originally an outsider, and where was it her turn to worry about the affairs of the Mu Fan family?

That kind of cold-blooded and ruthless person, there is nothing worth caring about her.

In short, it's not a good thing, he can do whatever he wants, and it has nothing to do with him.

Seeing that it is already deep winter, it is the season of heavy snow to cover the mountains.

Xia Yan, who has been at home for many days, decided to go back to Qin County, after all, the two shops of "Sweet Fruits" and "Fresh Vegetables" have ushered in their busiest time of the year.

"Miss." Qing'er was grooming Xia Yan and muttering, "The day you picked is really bad, it's snowing heavily, this road is not easy to walk, can't you wait for the snow to stop and then go back?" ”

"It's okay, you have to believe in Xiao Hei's ability." Xia Yan smiled at the corner of his eyes, "Not to mention that it's snowing, even if it's an ice bump, it's not afraid." ”

"Xiao Hei has the ability, he is not afraid." Qing'er pouted and looked dissatisfied, "If you really have an ice bump, you will be smashed by Miss, the little black skin is rough and thick, and you are not afraid of being smashed, but Miss you are different, you ......"

"Just kidding, what's the ice lump?" Xia Yan chuckled and twisted Qing'er's face, "Okay, I know you care about me, I'll let Xiao Hei go slower." ”

"Well, that's pretty much it." Qing'er knew that she couldn't reverse her young lady's decision, so she simply gave up persuasion, "Miss, I'll ask Uncle Lin to put two more pots of charcoal in your carriage later, it's really cold this day, Yu'er's hands are cracked, you must pay attention to keeping warm." Your hands are so beautiful, it would be a shame if they were frozen. ”

"Yu'er's hands are frozen?" Xia Yan was stunned, it was the first time she had heard of it, "Is it like this every year?" ”

"Not really." Qing'er nodded hurriedly, "Since I knew her, as long as it snows heavily, her hands will crack." I remember the first winter you bought us back, Yu'er's hands were swollen like a big pig's trotters, but Mrs. was so distressed that she was reluctant to let her touch the water. ”

"But you don't have to worry." Xu saw the distress on Xia Yan's face, and Qing'er hurriedly added, "In the past few years, Yu'er's hand will not be swollen, at most it will be a crack, don't worry." The family said that it was our blessing to follow Miss, and even Yu'er's chilblains could be cured. You know, this disease will last a lifetime. ”
