Chapter 223: The Lady of the Xu Family
As early as when Xu Xinru slipped out of Pingzhou's hometown again, Xu Zixiang was ordered to rush back to the capital quickly, for fear that she would run back and there would be no one. Maybe he ran too fast, and he didn't meet anyone along the way, and he waited in the princess's mansion for two days, but he never waited for Xu Xinru's figure. Xu Zixiang was really hesitant to send someone to send the letter back, so he asked the Xu family to quickly send someone to send it and search along the way.
However, before he could dispatch, someone came to report that Xu Xin had entered Beijing early this morning, and Xu Zixiang's heart was relieved. Although he is Xu Xinru's brother, he has a share in his concubines, Xu Xinru and Xu Ziang are brothers and sisters, and either one is more noble than him. If Xu Xinru had any mistakes, General Xu might not blame him, but the general's wife would definitely not let him go.
Waiting left and right, I finally looked forward to Xu Xinru stepping into the princess's mansion, and Xu Zixiang greeted him with concern.
"Xinru, where have you been?" Looking at the undried tears on her face, Xu Zixiang suddenly became serious, "What's wrong, what's going on?" ”
Although the relationship with Xu Zixiang is usually not close, in this case, there is nothing more warm than the care of the brother. Xu Xinru immediately pounced, and wiped a handful of snot and tears on Xu Zixiang's body again.
It was the first time Xu Zixiang received such a cordial friend, but she didn't know what to do to react well, so she could only let her cry at one time.
"Okay, let's talk to the second brother about what happened. If anyone bullies you, I'll settle accounts with him immediately. It is not a way to cry like this, Xu Zixiang looked at the dirty clothes on his body, and couldn't help frowning.
"Yan Kaizhi." Before Xu Xinru's words were finished, Xu Zixiang had already raised his eyebrows.
"Yan Kaizhi bullied you?" Xu Zixiang had seen Yan Kaizhi a few times, although he had never fought head-on, but he knew that this man was not something he could deal with. Although it seems that Yan Kaizhi always follows Hongyi silently, as if he is Hongyi's shadow, he has heard of his deeds several times, and even the Huaicheng bandit was also captured by Yan Kaizhi.
In the eyes of outsiders, it was Hongyi and Yan Kaiyi who went together, and Hongyi came forward to let the three generals of Pingzhou exterminate the bandits. In fact, the three generals of Pingzhou did not move, and they had already broken the catastrophe, and Hongyi was only responsible for taking the people and horses to Hejiabai to eat and drink for nothing.
Everyone knows that the Huaicheng bandits rely on the terrain and mountains to do evil, but close to Pingzhou, if it doesn't matter the background, they would have been served a long time ago, so wait for the court to speak. And the Xu family is their background, while Hongyi led a large group of people to Pingzhou, Yan Kaizhi took only twenty people and horses to empty the entire bandit den.
When the Xu family secretly went to the emergency, the stolen goods in the thief's den were all transported back to the capital by Yan Kaizhi, and the Xu family was so angry that they were like thunder, but they could only pretend not to know and greet Hongyi with a smile.
"I'm going to settle accounts with him!" Xu Zixiang said with cold eyes.
Xu Xinru was so frightened that she hurriedly grabbed his clothes and said nervously: "No, no, it has nothing to do with him, it's his wife." Xu Xinru knows that his second brother's skills are only slightly worse than his eldest brother, and much better than his third brother Xu Ziang.
Xu Zixiang was puzzled, what kind of holiday could Xu Xinru and Yan Kaizhi's wife have, thinking that her sister had been pestering her to ask about Yan Kaizhi and his wife, Xu Zixiang's heart suddenly sank, and he felt uneasy.
Sure enough, Xu Xinru flattened her mouth and said dissatisfiedly: "I don't know how this woman climbed into Yan Kaizhi's bed, just by virtue of her appearance, she can't compare to Ping Ruyan and Yinru." Xu Xinru grabbed Xu Zixiang's clothes and said anxiously: "Second brother, do you think the princess's sister-in-law will help me?" ”
Xu Zixiang sighed secretly in his heart, sure enough, it was because of this incident.
He stretched out his hand to put his hand on her shoulder, and said to Xu Xinru seriously: "Xinru, if it is another family, you don't need the princess to come forward, the second brother will snatch it back for you, but Yan Kaizhi can't." He is the emperor's person, his relatives were given by the emperor, and Mrs. Xingyong Marquis is not an ordinary lady, her maiden family is not Li Gelao, but also has an uncle and two uncles and brothers. ”
Xu Zixiang has not yet Shaohua's maiden family, not only that, the eldest sister-in-law is from the Dingxi Hou family, the second sister-in-law is from the Zhongyi Hou family, and even she herself is the daughter of the Dingxi Hou. With such a noble status, even Yan Kaizhi would not dare to divorce his wife easily, not to mention that they were deeply in love, and Yan Kaizhi did not even have a concubine by his side.
"Is the Li family amazing? Our ancestor of the Xu family was the founding general, and now there is a concubine! Xu Xinru screamed excitedly. I don't care, I want them to leave, no, I want Yan Kaizhi to leave her. ”
Xu Zixiang tried his best to soothe her emotions, and said softly: "Xinru, you calm down, now that Xingyong Hou and his wife are in love, you run to intervene for no reason, isn't this embarrassing yourself and embarrassing your father?" ”
"Xu Zixiang, you say it again!" Xu Xin roared angrily.
Xu Zixiang ignored her irritability and insisted on speaking, "Xinru, even if your father is here, he will not agree to you doing this." ”
Although the Huaicheng incident was Hongyi's idea, the hatred in the hearts of the Xu family was recorded on Yan Kaizhi's head, and he asked his sister to marry Yan Kaizhi, but he was afraid that General Xu would kill Yan Kaizhi directly, and would rather Xu Xin be a widow.
"Okay, if you don't help, forget it, I'll go by myself." Xu Xinru thought that she could find some comfort in her brother, but she didn't expect to be said by her brother, so she jumped up and walked out.
Where was Xu Zixiang willing to let her break out like this, he immediately grabbed her hand and said quickly: "Where are you going!" ”
Xu Xinru looked back and glared, "This has nothing to do with you!" ”
Xu Zixiang felt a headache, now there are two of him and Xu Xinru in Beijing, if she disappears again, I am afraid that she will have to take off a layer of skin when she goes back. I had to say helplessly: "Okay, I'll help, I'll help, you calm down, what do you want to do, I'll help." Xu Zixiang only thought about how to secretly tie her back while Xu Xinru was calm, as long as she was safely sent back to the Xu family, his task would be completed.
As for how Xu Xinru wants to hate him, this is something that Xu Zixiang can't control.
Seeing that her brother agreed to her request, Xu Xinru's face turned a little pale, relieved her mood, and changed her thoughts: "I want you to take me to see the prince." ”
"Shizi?" Xu Zixiang was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Xu Xinru's intentions were.
Xu Xinru nodded and said seriously: "And it's now!" ”
Yes, she couldn't wait for a moment, she was now desperate to break up Yan Kaizhi and Li Shaohua.
……
Hongfang looked at the lady dressed as a man in front of him, and there was indeed a bit of heroism between his eyebrows, but the immaturity and arrogance in his eyes made him can't help but laugh. He looked at Xu Zixiang and raised a sneer, "You tricked me out just so that I could meet her?" ”
Xu Zixiang was a little sneering on his face, but he went to invite Hongfang out in the name of Xu Ziang, but Xu Xinru saw that Hongfang was first stunned by his handsome appearance, and then bowed his head and was silent without saying a word. Hongfang was made nonsense by their brother and sister's behavior, and he thought that only he would do this kind of thing, but he didn't expect Xu Zixiang to do it easily.
Looking at Xu Xinru's proud and confident face again, it reminded him that Shaohua had also looked at him with such an expression, but Shaohua lacked Xu Xinru's blind arrogance.
As soon as he thought of Shaohua, Hongfang's heart became depressed, he never expected Shaohua to be pregnant.
If Shaohua had married him, he would have been a father a long time ago, but thinking that the child's father was Yan Kaizhi, Hongfang immediately tightened his fists.
"Second brother, you go out first." Xu Xinru saw Xu Zixiang's stunned face, and pushed him angrily, "Get out!" ”
Xu Zixiang looked at his sister, then at Hongfang, thinking that even if Xu Xinru was presumptuous, he would not be rude to Hongfang in such a place. He sighed, gave Hirokata his hand, and exited the room, not realizing that he should be worried about his sister's innocence, not Hirokata's safety.
Hongfang looked at the relationship between the two brothers and sisters with a smile, covered the whole chair, squinted at Xu Xinru, and said with an evil smile: "Xu Niangzi deliberately supported Brother Ling, but what are your intentions for me." ”
Xu Xinru's face turned red, she was teased like this by Hongfang, but she was not annoyed, "I want you to do me a favor." ”
Hongfang sneered and changed to a comfortable position, but the whole person looked more lazy and tempting. "Why should I help you?"
Xu Xinru looked deeply, and just happened to see Hongfang's delicate chin, the Adam's apple sliding as she spoke, so elegant and sexy that she had to swallow her saliva. Seeing Hongfang's smug smile, she was so frightened that she hurriedly came back to her senses, "Of course you will help me, because in this case, we will each take what we need." You can get Li Shaohua, and I can get Yan Kaizhi. ”
As soon as he heard Shaohua's name, Hongfang's eyes suddenly lit up, and when he saw Xu Xinru's smug expression, he smiled gracefully again. "What if I don't help?"
Xu Xinru frowned, "Don't you like Li Shaohua?" "She heard that Hongfang came to propose marriage, but Yan Kaizhi was the first to get there.
"This has nothing to do with you." Hongfang sat up, looking at Xu Xinru's puzzled expression, he crossed the table, supported the table with both hands, and slowly approached Xu Xinru. Seeing that she was so nervous that she kept rolling her eyes and swallowing her saliva frequently, Hongfang smiled happily, "If I want her to have my own way, I don't need you to interfere." But I don't want her now, what can you do with me? ”
Seeing Hongfang's figure retreat from in front of him, Xu Xinru's nervous heart calmed down a lot, but he was secretly annoyed with himself, and at the moment when he was close to him, he actually hoped that he could kiss him. She shook her head desperately, trying to throw the ambiguous image out of her mind, but she made herself blush.
Hongfang looked at this innocent girl with a sneer, feeling a little bored, "If you have the ability, go and grab it yourself, don't expect others to help." ”
At least he wouldn't make a move, if Shaohua wasn't pregnant, maybe he would have promised her.
After speaking, Hongfang stopped looking at Xu Xinru, opened the door and strode out.
This made Xu Zixiang, who ran in from outside, look at the back of Hongfang and leave, and then look at Xu Xinru, who was flushed and refused to make a sound in the house, and was so anxious that he didn't know how to speak.
