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

Lin Xun was silent for a long time. Even though he was usually calm, it was inevitable that he felt some emotions surging in his heart at this moment.

Qi Yusheng had no idea.

Seeing Lin Xun's silence, Qi Yusheng pretended that he didn't care, and said: "Forget it, you have never been interested in women, even if the other party is as beautiful as a fairy, you don't care, but..."

"This time you have suppressed the rebellion in Cangjing and made great contributions. I'm afraid the emperor can only give you the nine gifts... Of course, the court has only been stable for a few years due to internal and external troubles. You will definitely not accept the nine gifts or the title of king."

"I'm afraid His Majesty is having a headache right now and doesn't know what reward to give you. Will he grant you a marriage?"

Speaking of the arranged marriage, Lin Shaoshu recalled that stunning face and the charming Begonia in his dream.

With a "crack", the teacup in his hand broke into pieces.

Qi Yusheng swallowed and said, "I was just joking. Do you have to be so murderous?"

"If you don't want to get married, then don't get married. At worst, you can become a monk in the future. Then I will donate more incense money to you every month..."

"Are you tired of living?"

These four words successfully shut Qi Yusheng up.

After hesitating for a moment, Qi Yusheng raised his hand and asked a question: "Recently, we have been investigating corruption and medicinal materials at the border, and happened to find it in Kyoto. How could the Yong'an Marquis Mansion be related to Baicaotang?"

Lin Xun's expression changed slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Xiao Yi jogging over.

"Your Majesty, Lord Qi, why are you two here?"

Xiao Yi didn't see these two people in the study. He jogged all the way here and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

There was no way. One of them was the regent who had great power in the court, and the other was in charge of the Imperial Household Inspection Office and a close minister to the emperor. They were both upstarts in the dynasty, so how could he dare to offend them?

Lin Xun just glanced at him indifferently, his deep eyes seemed to be icy.

Qi Yusheng smiled and said, "I've heard that the scenery of Xiao Yi Mansion is nice. I think the Marquis won't mind if we just take a walk around."

"Of course...of course I don't mind!"

No wonder!

These two people would not come here without a reason. Xiao Yi didn't know the purpose of their visit. Could it be that they discovered that thing?

Xiao Yi looked a little uneasy for a moment...

Fortunately, Lin Xun came here just to inquire about the casualties in Jingzhou. As for Qi Yusheng, he was simply bored and came with Lin Xun to watch the fun.

Marquis Yong'an reported the battle report from the front to Lin Xun tremblingly, which was exactly the same as the memorial he submitted, but there was a sharp flash in Lin Xun's eyes.

It seems that the Yong'an Marquis Mansion still has many secrets.

Before leaving, Qi Yusheng asked Xiao Yi jokingly, "My Lord, you haven't been back to Kyoto for many years. Is everything going well at home?"

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment before he smiled and replied, "Thank you, Lord Qi, for your concern. The old lady at home is in good health, the sisters are in harmony, and especially my eldest daughter, although she has stayed in Kyoto for five years, is still very filial and sensible!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Yi looked quite complacent, completely unaware of the mockery in Qi Yusheng's eyes.

"gone."

Lin Xun said this coldly, and Qi Yusheng hurriedly followed. After leaving the Marquis' Mansion, Lin Xun leaned against the back of the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.

Some distant and blurry images emerged in his mind, making him unable to tell whether they were dreams or reality.

He gently rubbed the Buddhist beads hanging on his wrist, opened his eyes again, and a cold and frightening light flashed in his deep eyes...

In the carriage, Qi Yusheng seemed to have thought of something and said, "But we still have to keep a closer eye on the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion."

Lin Xun frowned as he looked at him, only to see Qi Yusheng being serious for once: "Although Old Master Xie left Kyoto five years ago, he left in a hurry. With so many eyes watching him in Kyoto, he naturally couldn't take all his things with him."

"The Xie family are all extremely smart people. They definitely wouldn't dare to carry the life-saving talisman with them. If it was left in Kyoto, it would definitely be in the hands of someone who is very trustworthy. But we have checked with Lin Shaoshu, and he doesn't seem to know about that thing. We have overlooked one person..."

Qi Yusheng smiled, his narrow eyes sparkling, looking more like a fox: "The beautiful lady of the Xiao family, Xiao Xuetang!"

"She is the granddaughter of Old Master Xie. Do you think I should sacrifice myself and use a beauty trap to get close to her and get her to say something?"

A moment later, a scream was heard from the bustling streets of Kyoto!

A young man in a luxurious red robe was kicked off the carriage and rolled off...

"Lin Xun, do you really need to do this?"

It was a long, long time before Qi Yusheng realized that the kick he gave that day was because Lin Xun had shown mercy on him because they had been friends for many years. He didn't pick up the knife and chopped him directly. It was already a great mercy from that gentleman...

……

Xiao Xuetang had just returned to Litangju in shock. As soon as she entered the yard, she heard a sharp voice...

"You damn bitch, these gold, silver and jade items were originally kept in the old lady's yard. They have been placed here for a few days. Do you really think they are from this yard?"

"Don't you even take a look at whether your master is worthy of it!"

Qiyue's expression changed, and she said, "It's Nanny Lai who's throwing a tantrum again..."

As he said this, he walked quickly into the yard, and sure enough, he saw Nanny Lai leading a group of people, taking away all the clothes and jewelry that were originally placed in Li Tangju.

Xiao Xuetang only took a glance at the things that the Yong'an Marquis and his wife brought from Jingzhou over the years, and the old lady kept them for her in Xuan Tang Courtyard because she was young and it was not appropriate for them to be extravagant. The key was kept by Lai Ma, who was by the old lady's side.

Xiao Xuetang had to ask Lai Ma for permission every time she went out to wear those beautiful hairpin jewelry and dresses. She would take them off and return them to the old lady after returning from a visit.

Not to mention those exquisite ornaments, like the incense burner and vase placed on the table these two days, and the hanging silk curtains, which are actually just for show by the old lady in front of the Yong'an Marquis and his wife.

Now the old lady saw that Xiao Yi had returned for two days and had not asked about Xiao Xuetang's affairs, so she wanted to take back those things immediately.

Little did they know that Xiao Xuetang was no longer the bullying bag who used to swallow his anger. He had hit a wall.

Lai Ma was still making a fuss, but the little maid behind her saw Xiao Xuetang's cold gaze and her knees weakened. She trembled and called out to Xiao Xuetang, "Hello, Miss."

Nanny Lai's body froze, and when she turned around, she looked arrogant again: "Miss, you are back. I am also doing things according to the old lady's wishes. You should not mind it, right?"

As she spoke, an exquisite paperweight fell half out from her bulging sleeves.

The paperweight was made of white jade, which was translucent and lustrous, and it was obviously the finest mutton-fat white jade.

Xiao Xuetang lowered her eyes and her pupils suddenly shrank...

This paperweight was given to her by her grandfather in her previous life before he passed away, and he told her to keep it well.

However, the situation was chaotic at the time and many things happened. When Xiao Xuetang wanted to find the paperweight again, she couldn't find it anymore.

I didn't expect that it was in the hands of this cunning slave!

Xiao Xuetang looked at Nanny Lai quietly, and the expression on her face suddenly became unpredictable...
