There are many failures in the country

At Yemu, Yue Xingfeng, relying on his status as a patient, repeatedly pointed fingers at Shen Ling, forcing him to wait on him for dinner, tea and snacks, and suddenly wanted to wash his face, so he threw a copper basin to him.

Fortunately, there was a water pool next to the bamboo building, so Shen Ling didn't bother to fetch water from the well, so she went directly to the water's edge and scooped up a basin full of water.Later, he was so angry that he took off his shoes and socks on the spot, and stomped his bare feet in the basin: "Let you wash your face! Let you wash your face! I see you wash your face with footwashing water, hum!"

He put on his shoes and went back contentedly, and went upstairs with the basin as if nothing had happened.Unexpectedly, a golden light flashed in front of his eyes, Shen Ling slipped on the sole of his foot, and rolled down the wooden steps with a few "plops".That's all, but the basin of water was thrown into the sky, and the footwashing water was poured and splashed all over the face.

Shen Ling got up with difficulty, spit out a few mouthfuls of water, and glanced at the bamboo building: "There is such a big movement, I don't know how to come out to help!"

There was no time to complain, the culprit was already floating in front of my eyes, it was a butterfly.

wrong!One, two, three... a total of ten!

Thinking of Bai Riyue Xingfeng's words about sucking qi and blood, and thinking of the gray hair of the girl in Tsing Yi, Shen Ling was so frightened that his back shivered, watching Xiang Yindie pounce on him, he wanted to knock them all to death with a copper basin .It's a pity...they are valuable, if you kill them, Hua Dongqing will definitely kill him.

Shen Ling cried and said: "Everyone, can you not suck my blood? My surname is not Hua."

Strange to say, as soon as Shen Ling opened his mouth, all the fragrant butterflies retreated obediently and flew around him.

"You really are." The quiet voice seemed cold in the night.

"What are you doing here?" Shen Ling turned her head and saw Hua Dongqing, and saw that she was still wearing the clothes she had been wearing during the day.

"Let me ask you, who are you, Hua Nanxiao?" Hua Dongqing flicked an orchid finger, and the fragrance attracted butterflies to fly to her hand.

Shen Ling was so frightened that when she saw the fragrance attracting the butterflies away, she quickly patted the plaster and got up, circling the name in her mind: "What kind of flower? I don't know it!" As soon as the words came out, Shen Ling froze. .

Hua Nanxi...he has never heard of it, but "Xiao'er", he will never forget it.That's how his father called his mother.

Hua Dongqing noticed the clue and smiled slightly: "Remember? Is she your mother?"

Shen Ling's mind buzzed: "I don't understand what you're talking about. Don't disturb me to fetch water." He bent over to pick up the basin, and walked towards the pool again.

Hua Dongqing stopped him sharply: "Stop!" But Shen Ling pretended not to hear.In a fit of anger, he hurried forward to take him.

A figure approached in an instant, protecting Shen Ling behind him, and scattered Hua Dongqing's posture with his forearm.

Shen Ling tightly grabbed Yue Xingfeng's clothes: "You're here, she wanted to put incense to attract butterflies to bite me, and even asked Hua Nanxiao if she was my mother... Crazy, completely crazy!"

Yue Xingfeng turned around and hugged him, and said softly: "Don't be afraid. Besides, you don't want to find out your mother's identity?"

Shen Ling was surprised and said: "You heard it just now? Don't think too much, my mother won't have anything to do with this crazy woman!"

"I put incense to attract butterflies, not to bite you, but to test you." Hua Dongqing suddenly became quite quiet.

"Didn't bite me? Tell me earlier." Shen Ling felt relieved, and slowly leaned out from behind Yue Xingfeng.However, the three words "Huanan Xiao" can't get rid of in my heart.

"Xiang Yingdie recognizes the master, if they are willing to obey your order, it means that you really belong to the blood of the Hua family." Hua Dongqing took a step towards Shen Ling, tears welled up in her eyes, "So you really... ...really my cousin."

"I'm your cousin? Me?" Shen Ling took a step back in shock, grabbed Yue Xingfeng, covered her mouth, and followed her ears, "Is there something wrong with her mind?"

Yue Xingfeng asked, "Do you have evidence?"

Hua Dongqing bent her fingers and raised a fragrant butterfly: "Isn't it enough to have a fragrant butterfly?"

Yue Xingfeng asked again: "Not enough."

Hua Dongqing sighed for a moment, then collected herself: "Okay, let me say. Hua Nanzhuo is my little aunt. She didn't want to practice martial arts, so she slipped out of Hualing without telling my father, and went to Nanyue and hid in the Nanyue palace. I My little aunt was very close to each other, so there were many letters between them. Of course, my father didn't know about it. After the death of Nanyue, I thought she would go home, but my little aunt only sent a letter to keep her safe, saying that she would marry a man named Shen. , let us rest assured. After that, there is no news... Hehe, I never thought that the person surnamed Shen is today's Zhao Guogong, Shen Ke."

Hearing this, Shen Ling murmured: "Xiao'er, this is how my father calls my mother."

"Your father? What qualifications does he have? Your mother died strangely back then, so don't think I know nothing about it! Unexpectedly, Shen Ke's concubine is actually a member of my Hua family! Since you have left Beijing, I have no clue Scruples." The corners of Hua Dongqing's eyes twitched slightly, as if planning something.

"No... scruples?" Shen Ling was taken aback, "Don't try to mess around!"

"I just want to level the Duke Zhao's mansion!"

Flatten Zhaoguo's mansion?It's ridiculous, just relying on her?Shen Ling thought about it deeply, the Hua family's century-old poison technique may not be able to defeat the Shen family's generals, and the capital city is thousands of miles away, if the mansion is not vigilant, I'm afraid it will...

Hua Dongqing smiled suddenly, but she avoided it to one side, her tone was still ruthless: "Why, you seem very unhappy. If it weren't for Shen Ke, would your mother have died in depression? Shen Ling, filial piety is not used in this way. "

Shen Ling looked at her: "Anyway, he is my father, and my mother really loves him, otherwise she would not be willing to stay in Chulian Pavilion willingly! As for stepping down Zhaoguo Duke's mansion, one day, you don't even think about it." !"

Hua Dongqing slightly hooked her lips towards Yue Xingfeng, turned around and said contemptuously: "Unless...you promise me a condition."

From being categorical and irrefutable, to being able to negotiate conditions in a blink of an eye?Shen Ling was suddenly wary of her, not knowing what her purpose was.

Seeing the sporadic gleam of anger in his eyes, Hua Dongqing sighed: "This look is somewhat similar to Grandpa's. It seems that you are very suitable to be the head of the Hua family."

"Huh? Patriarch?" Shen Ling heard Yue Xingfeng whistle, kicked him on the leg, and said, "What do you mean!"

"I want you to return to Hua's family and become the head of the family. That's what I mean." Hua Dongqing spoke frivolously, as if she wasn't serious. "If you don't agree, then I'll destroy Duke Zhao's mansion."

"This is all planned by you." Shen Ling finally sensed something strange, and said in his heart that with the Hua family's ability, if Hua Dongqing wanted to flatten Zhaoguo's mansion, he had no intention of reporting to him at all, and sent someone to destroy it. Yes... I was careless.

"Yes, it was my plan. If you didn't object, I'll take it as your agreement." Hua Dongqing didn't intend to give Shen Ling a chance to go back on his word, "Although I was talking casually just now, I, Hua Dongqing, am also a person who will do what I say. You have to think it through."

Shen Ling smiled lightly: "Compared with revenge, do you want me to be the head of the Hua family?"

Hua Dongqing said straightly: "Compared to revenge, the prosperity of the Hua family is naturally more important!"

Shen Ling was stunned, secretly admiring.Unexpectedly, a woman like her has such a bearing.

At this time, Yue Xingfeng said: "It is understandable in some respects for him to be a man as the head of the family, but do you think Shen Ling, who has no strength to restrain a chicken, can be the head of the family? Are you not afraid of defeat?"

Hua Dongqing seemed to be very confident, and patted Yue Xing on the shoulder: "He can. Among the descendants of the Hua family, my little aunt Hua Nanluo was the most talented. My aunt had high hopes, but she didn't want to practice martial arts, and escaped, making my father a scapegoat. As your mother's son, and Shen Ke's foundation is also good, I believe your roots will never be bad .”

Shen Ling smiled a little forcedly: "Really? Will you think highly of me?"

Hua Dongqing waved her finger: "The first time Xiang Yindie saw you, I was willing to drive you. I couldn't do this at the time. Because of this, I believe that you have inherited your mother's talent. Don't worry, I can teach you."

The current conversation seems to be getting more and more wrong. It is clear that there is no need to be threatened, but it is actually threatened. It is clear that there is no need to think about the Patriarch, but it is inexplicable... Shen Ling feels that his mind is sick.

Yue Xingfeng suddenly realized: "I finally understand now that you are clearly in charge of the Hua Family, but no one calls you "Patriarch". At such an age, you are still a young lady. So, you are waiting for someone."

"Who are you saying is older!" Hua Dongqing suddenly returned to her fierce look.

"I, I'm old, okay?" Yue Xingfeng calmed her down, and turned to persuade Shen Ling, "It's good for you to be the head of the family, anyway, a bunch of messy things are all arranged by your cousin, so you just occasionally Learn some self-defense martial arts, just do nothing all day long."

Shen Ling felt that Hua Dongqing had a murderous look all over her body, so she quickly hid beside Yue Xingfeng: "Aren't you joking?"

Yue Xingfeng shook his head and said, "I'm serious. It's very dangerous outside now, and there are no less than five people staring at you and me. Right now, only Hualing is safe. Staying here for now is a way to protect yourself. The Hua family's martial arts are not difficult. , even if you are lazy and just learn some basic poison techniques, you can protect yourself and me."

Shen Ling gave him a supercilious look: "Do you still need protection?"

Yue Xingfeng was showing sad eyes when suddenly someone approached quickly.

A military attendant in Tsing Yi knelt in front of Hua Dongqing: "Report to Miss, Mr. Xi has been rescued and is currently being sent back to Xuzhou."

Hua Dongqing nodded, and raised her hand towards Shen Ling: "From now on, call Mr. Shen the young master. Go and tell everyone."

Shen Ling said nervously, "Cousin, don't be in such a hurry, right?"

Hua Dongqing blinked: "Yo, did you call your cousin? That's great, be good."
