"There is actually a reason why I am disrespectful to Miss during the day today. After a while, Wu Nan spoke, a little cramped, his face was even a little red, but due to the dark night, it was not very obvious.

"yes, I know." Hua Xiyan nodded, unabashedly knowing.

Wu Nan glanced at Hua Xiyan with some surprise, and the corners of his lips twitched a few times.

"Is your mother's illness getting better?"

"It's fine." Wu Nan nodded, and suddenly didn't know how to express his inner thoughts.

Wu Nan's mother has always been in poor health, and she has always relied on medicinal herbs to hang her life. Wu Nan is a filial son, and he can't bear that his mother has no medicine, so he has not stopped buying medicine. Therefore, the whole family is surrounded by walls, resulting in Wu Nan not marrying until now.

After all, ordinary work is too slow to make money, so every time Wu Nan appears in the casino, it must be his mother's illness that is serious again.

"If you don't have enough money in the future, you can come to Washington to find me, and it's better to go less in the future in places like gambling houses."

Hua Xi Yan's words fell, Wu Nan was even more surprised, looked up at Hua Xi Yan, and felt that the woman in front of her was demure and gentle, and she did not have half of the arrogance and self-pity of giving to others, so the pride in the man's heart was still there, and he couldn't help but feel that the person in front of him was really much better than the sanctimonious people who wanted to kneel down and thank Dade when they had a little charity.

"It's useless, I've already received the favor of Miss today, and I don't dare to trouble Miss again in the future." Wu Nan shook his head and rejected Hua Xiyan's kindness very principledly.

Hua Xiyan naturally knew that Wu Nan's character must not be the one who was greedy for cheapness, so he chuckled and said: "I won't let you take this money for nothing, as long as you help me do one thing." ”

Wu Nan looked at Hua Xiyan and hesitated, but after all, she had already taken her money, and she couldn't refuse, but what if she let herself do something......

Seeing Wu Nan's concerns, Hua Xiyan had to admire the meticulousness of this reckless man, and chuckled: "You don't have to worry, I will neither let you kill and let me go, nor will I let you oppress the people, I will not violate the principle of justice, nor will it damage the morality of the rivers and lakes, you can rest assured." ”

Hearing Hua Xiyan's assurance, Wu Nan felt a lot more relieved, so he nodded ruthlessly.

Hua Xiyan chuckled, walked into Wu Nan a little, and whispered a few words.

——

When I returned to Washington, it was already past midnight, and two red lanterns swayed in the wind at the entrance of Washington, emitting a warm orange-red glow, illuminating a few feet from the entrance of the mansion.

Hua Xiyan had just stepped into the mansion. I saw Hua Xiyu coming up, and asked with concern, "Where did my sister go?" How long has it been? ”

Hua Xiyan didn't answer immediately, but gestured to Hua Xiyu and led him towards the small garden in the backyard.

There is a small pavilion in the center of the small garden, with several exquisite stone tables and stone benches, knowing that Huaxiyan has not eaten, he asked Xia to leave to find some pastries for Huaxiyan.

"I'm married to a theater casino." Sitting down on a stone bench, Hua Xiyan opened his mouth to think about Hua Xiyu's explanation.

Hua Xiyan's smile was fixed on her face, although she had seen a lot of shocking actions from her own sister in the past few days, but it was still a little difficult for him to accept a woman who swaggered to the gambling house in broad daylight and didn't come back so late.

"Where are you going to do something?" Surprised, Hua Xiyu's voice turned out to be a little sharp and harsh.

"Naturally, I have my reasons." Hua Xiyan said, took out a stack of paper from his sleeve and put it on the stone table.

Hua Xiyu picked it up and looked at it through the bleak oil lamp lit on the side, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Could it be that you are just trying to win these silvers?" ”

"Of course not." Hua Xiyan stretched out his hand and pulled out the somewhat old piece of paper in the innermost part and handed it to him, "Look at this." ”

This piece of paper is the IOU that Qing Xun gave to Hua Xiyan that Sun Muyang wrote three years ago.

Hua Xiyu's brows kept furrowing tightly, and after looking at it for a long time, a flash of clarity flashed on her face: "Sister means that this IOU is different from the silver that person took from you at the beginning?" ”

Hua Xiyan has always been very confident in Hua Xiyu's wisdom, so he nodded and said: "Yesterday I asked Xia to show me the list of my dowry back then, and found that those gold and silver jewelry alone are more than four thousand taels, not to mention that there are many splendid antiques." ”

Hua Xiyu also recalled the original scene and said: "I also have an impression of what happened at the beginning. At that time, when Sun Muyang came to find his sister, he said that he was very miserable, it seemed that the gambling debts could not be paid with all the strength of his prefect, so he took all his sister's dowry. Now it seems that it is only four thousand taels, although it is not a small number, but it does not need to come in a low voice like the dignified prefect son, now that I think about it, it is really strange. ”

Hua Xiyan nodded, she was suspicious because Yun Qi took her to Jinyutang to see the matter last time. When she thought about it, she found that Jin Yutang also suddenly rose three years ago, but she didn't know that it was the Sun family's property. If the Sun family really did their best to repay this gambling debt, where would there be idle silver to open this golden jade hall? There is also the mansion when the first banquet was held, when she and Sun Muyang had a good relationship, they didn't know about it.

These many things are connected, and it is not difficult to find that this predecessor may have been deceived by Sun Muyang.

"I didn't expect him to be such a villain! What a shame! The more Hua Xiyu thought about it, the more angry she became, and slapped the IOU on the table fiercely, panting in anger.

Wen Xia Zheng came over with a plate, and when he saw that the young master, who had always been gentle and elegant, was so angry, he couldn't help but be a little shocked.

Hua Xiyan gave Wen Xia a reassuring look, asked her to put the plate on the table, and then retreated, after all, she is still a simple child, it is better not to contact the filth of the world so early.

"It's been so long, are you still angry?" Hua Xiyan looked at the back of his younger brother's green muscles and teased funny.

"I didn't know it before, but now I know that the truth is so dirty, how can I not be angry?" Hua Xiyu's face tightened, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of between her teeth with great force.

Hua Xiyan patted Hua Xiyu's arm soothingly, the smile on his lips was a little lighter, and the words he said were a little colder than the cool breeze blowing on the two of them: "I was deceived, I took it back, why bother to spoil my body for such people?" ”

Hua Xiyu was stunned, and her anger was replaced by surprise in a blink of an eye: "Sister wants to take it back?" ”

"Naturally, yes."

"But it's been so long since this happened, presumably those things have long been gone, how can I get them back?"

From Hua Xiyan's calm face, Hua Xiyu couldn't see the meaning of a half-separate joke, but the words spoken by her voice as light as a cold spring were so unbelievable.

"How much is left, how much, what is less, let the Sun family make up for it."

Hua Xiyan's face was hidden in the night, a little more obscure, Hua Xiyu couldn't see her expression clearly, but she couldn't help but feel a spirit when she heard the words.

——

The three-day period was fleeting, and it was time for Hua Xiyu to leave.

Hua Xiyu got up early in the morning, still smiling brightly, looking heartless, as if she couldn't wait to leave.

"Looking at your impatient appearance, it really chills my mother and me." Hua Xiyan quipped.

"Today is a good day, I naturally can't be sad." Hua Xiyu said, a pair of eyes kept glancing at the door, and even felt a little unable to sit still.

"You kid, how can you want to leave home so much." Liu said complainingly, thinking that his son, who had been raised for more than ten years, was about to leave home, and couldn't help but start crying again.

"Mother, when your son comes back from the glory of his ancestors, you will know that today's reluctance is nothing!" Hua Xiyu said proudly, trying to enlighten the Liu family in a relaxed tone.

Liu glared at Hua Xiyu: "Guangzong Yaozu or something is a trivial matter, you must take good care of yourself when you join the army, especially after you go to the battlefield, the sword has no eyes......"

By the way, Liu's chatter, Hua Xiyu did not have a helpless face this time, but listened carefully, and kept nodding.

Seeing that his son listened to his words, Liu was a lot more relieved, but he still kept wiping the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

"I didn't even see your father's face before I left...... Liu said, tears falling down his eyes, extremely sad.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little dull, and the sound of the birds chirping in the courtyard was also a little low, as if reflecting the unhappy mood of the people.

None of them spoke again, until a voice came from the door: "Madam, someone is coming!" ”

Hua Xiyu stood up suddenly, looked overjoyed, and walked quickly outside.

There was only one person at the gate of the mansion, the man was dressed in military uniform, burly, with a square face, after seeing the people from Washington come out, he got off the horse neatly, hugged his fists towards several people and said: "The last general is under the command of General Wang, and the special leader is ordered to come to pick up Young Master Hua to Taiyuan." ”

Zuo Ling is the official position of Zheng Sipin, I didn't expect Yun Qi to directly ask Wang Huan to send someone to come, and he sent a powerful general, which really gave Washington a big face.

"Your Excellency is polite, please inside!" Hua Xiyan returned the salute to the visitor, and then gestured sideways.

Zuo Ling waved his hand to stop: "Miss Hua doesn't have to be polite, the last general will be ordered to pick up people, if Young Master Hua is ready, it is better to leave as soon as possible." ”

"It's ready, and we're ready to go!" Hua Xiyu took the package from the hand of the attendant on the side and hurried down the steps.

The domestic servant led the horse over, it was a jujube red tall horse, and it was Hua Xiyu's favorite horse.

"Good!" Zuo Ling nodded, saluted Huaxian Ling again, and turned over on his horse.

Hua Xiyu hung the package on the horse's neck, patted the saddle, and also turned over on the horse, the movements were smooth, without any ambiguity, and the leader couldn't help but nod secretly.

"Mother, sister, Yu'er is goodbye!" Hua Xiyu turned his head and said goodbye to the two.

Seeing that his son was really going to leave this time, Liu Shi covered his face with a handkerchief, choked up, and couldn't cry by himself, unable to say a word.

"Take care of yourself."

A thousand words, when they come to their mouths, are just these five words.

Hua Xiyu nodded, glanced at the two of them deeply, looked around again, this place where he grew up from a small age, pursed his lips tightly, and then nodded towards Zuo Ling, and patted the horse away.
