After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

"Since the ring is in Mu Han's hands, then this matter must have something to do with the Ru'nan Palace. But as far as I know, the Ru'nan Prince likes women and has no ambitions. Over the years, the Ru'nan Palace has been able to maintain its heyday for a few days, all thanks to Madam Nan's efforts."

"Madam Nan's life story is very mysterious. People in Kyoto only know that she was once a singer in Jiangnan Shaoyinfang. Later, the King of Runan fell in love with her at first sight and took her as his concubine. Madam Nan is well-informed and proficient in divination. She is not an ordinary woman."

"I once sent people to Jiangnan to investigate her, but unfortunately there is no clue. This person's past is a blank sheet of paper, and it seems that she appeared out of thin air beside the King of Runan."

Of course, the reason why Xiao Xuetang investigated Madam Nan was also because of Xiao Yi and Ye Jin.

But the more we investigate, the more suspicious Madam Nan becomes...

"Although I currently have no evidence to prove that Madam Nan has a direct relationship with Southern Xinjiang, I feel that if someone really has been planning in Kyoto for more than 20 years, Madam Nan must be an important chess piece!"

Hearing this, a thoughtful look flashed across Lin Xun's eyes.

In recent years, both the secret guards of the Prince Regent's Palace and the Imperial Censorate have mostly focused their investigations on officials and noble families. Because of the differences between men and women, they know very little about the women of the noble families.

If Xiao Xuetang hadn't reminded him, Lin Xun might have really overlooked such an important clue!

"If I remember correctly, after the adultery was caught in the Huguo Temple, Madam Nan was sent out of Kyoto by the King of Runan to hide from the public?"

Xiao Xuetang smiled slightly and said firmly: "Don't worry, she will come back."

Lin Xun saw the little girl in front of him smile, with a gleam in her eyes, like a little fox calculating something, and for some reason, the corners of his mouth also curved along with hers.

After a few months, Lin Xun discovered that the little girl in front of him seemed to have become much more cheerful.

I remember the first time I saw her in the Marquis' Mansion that day. Although she had a smile on her face, her temperament was gloomy and there was an unbreakable coldness between her brows.

But now, it is like a piece of jade covered with dust, the dust is brushed away, revealing its original brilliance.

This is really good.

While she was thinking, Xiao Xuetang seemed to have thought of something and handed her a pink note with a silver border, saying, "If the prince has nothing to do, come and watch the family recognition banquet at the Xiangfu in three days."

Xiao Xuetang's eyes sparkled, and Lin Xun certainly would not refuse, so he accepted the invitation.

Lin Xun smiled and said in a gentle voice, "I have also prepared a gift for you."

Xiao Xuetang was surprised and happy.

Lin Xun is really different from before. He not only brings snacks for her, but also gives her gifts.

then……

His Royal Highness the Regent was seen carrying out a thick stack of Buddhist scriptures from the storage area under the carriage.

Xiao Xuetang was stunned and asked, "What is this?"

“Buddhist scriptures that need to be translated.”

Xiao Xuetang???

She saw it, but why should she give it to him?

When Xiao Xuetang was recuperating at the Xie family, he met a crazy monk and learned Sanskrit by chance.

In addition, the Xie family library has tens of millions of books. Tutor Xie is not the kind of person who is too rigid to forbid his children from reading and writing. Xiao Xuetang has read many Buddhist classics since he was a child.

But Xiao Xuetang was an extremely lively person when he was young. Although he was forced to become quiet after growing up, he really couldn't find any fun in copying scriptures.

But for the sake of Lin Shaoshu and to please the Empress Dowager, Xiao Xuetang patiently translated Buddhist scriptures all night long.

Thinking back to the stupid things he had done for Lin Shaoshu in the past, Xiao Xuetang couldn't help but feel as if he were in another world...

Lin Xun looked at Xiao Xuetang deeply and said, "Back then, the commotion at Huguo Temple caused some damage to the temple's reputation. You don't think that this matter can be forgotten, do you?"

Only then did Xiao Xuetang know that Master Yuan had helped them to prevent the incident, but in exchange, Lin Xun was required to translate the Buddhist scriptures.

In the past few days, the regent didn't attend court anyway, so he was idle, but now that Emperor Yonghui is ill, Lin Xun has to take care of all the affairs in the court. He couldn't finish reviewing the memorials every day, so Lin Xun packed up the remaining Buddhist scriptures and gave them to Xiao Xuetang.

Xiao Xuetang was quite happy when she went out, but she didn't expect to have such a tough job when she came back. She got off the carriage with a Buddhist scripture in one hand and a box of snacks in the other, feeling bitter and resentful.

Who would have thought that just after getting off the carriage, he met the ghost-like Xiao Yu again!

In the past, Xiao Yu didn't like Xiao Xuetang at all. The two siblings might not see each other once every ten days or half a month. But now, for some reason, Xiao Yu has set his eyes on her.

"The person who sent you back just now was the Regent?"

Xiao Yu asked with a frown on his face.

Xiao Yu really couldn't figure it out. In his previous life, it was obviously after Xiao Xuetang entered the palace that she came into contact with Lin Xun by accident. But in this life, for some reason, Xiao Xuetang was entangled with Lin Xun so early.

Xiao Xuetang didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Yu, but at this moment Xiao Yu blocked her way.

Originally adhering to the principle of less trouble is worse than more, Xiao Xuetang was ready to find an excuse to get away with it, but Xiao Yu looked at the stone box in her hand before she opened her mouth.

The food box made of rosewood with gold-painted cloud patterns and inlaid with mother-of-pearl was something Xiao Yu had seen in previous years when the palace gave food to the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion.

Among the people Xiao Xuetang knew, the only one who could easily take snacks from the imperial kitchen was the Prince Regent!

"So what?"

Xiao Xuetang admitted confidently, "I am no longer a child. Do I need to explain to my brother who I make friends with outside?"

Xiao Yu's temper had been numb from anger these days, and he said calmly, "I don't care if you make friends with anyone, except the Regent... No."

Xiao Xuetang also lost his temper and sneered, "Brother, it's too late for you to say this."

Xiao Yu gasped and said in shock: "Could it be that you have already..."

His voice was trembling, and he didn't say the three words "together"?

Xiao Xuetang raised his chin and admitted in person: "Yes, I have already promised the prince."

Since Xiao Yu is afraid of death and doesn't want to get into trouble in Southern Xinjiang, she has to confront Xiao Yu!

"I absolutely won't agree to that!"

Xiao Yu's calmness, which he had managed to maintain for a long time, finally broke, and he said to Xiao Xuetang, "Do you know what you are doing?"

"You just broke off your engagement with Lin Shaoshu, and now you're with Lin Xun. It's OK for him to be the regent. But how can you, a girl, face those rumors?"

"Also, do you know how dangerous Lin Xun's position is? If something happens, what will you do?"

"You have already broken off the engagement with Lin Shaoshu, so don't get involved in the royal family's disputes anymore!"

Xiao Yu looked excited, and Xiao Xuetang was confused by what he said. She vaguely felt that Xiao Yu seemed to have misunderstood something.

At this moment, a cold voice came from behind the brother and sister: "Young Master Xiao seems to have a lot of opinions about this king?"

Lin Xun was holding a lost copy of Buddhist scriptures in his hand, looking at Xiao Yu with a cold gaze. Xiao Yu felt his knees go weak for some reason...
