The son-in-law is too shy

In the study room, Xu Yitang looked at the white jade pendant in his hand, finally let out a long sigh, turned around, looked at Xu Huai'an who was still kneeling on the ground, and finally opened his mouth.

"Get up."

Xu Huaian looked up at Xu Yitang, and then slowly stood up.

"You know everything?" Xu Yitang looked at him, with many inexplicable emotions in his eyes.

"Yes." Xu Huaian admitted.

"Hey, it's been 20 years!" Xu Yitang sighed in disappointment.

"Father, what happened 20 years ago?" Xu Huai'an couldn't help asking.

Hearing this, Xu Yitang frowned and said, "Huai'an, don't investigate this matter any further."

Xu Huai'an was shocked: "Why dad?!"

Xu Yitang shook his head, then stared at Xu Huai'an and said in a deep voice, "If you don't want to kill everyone around you, it's too late to stop now, throw away your identity as the young master of Langxuan, and do what a son-in-law should do, you Now that you have made an agreement with the princess, I hope you will not forget your original intention."

Xu Huai'an stood there in a daze, opened his mouth but didn't say anything for a long time.

Xu Yitang said again: "You have to remember that what you are responsible for is not your own life, but all the people related to you. If you don't care about yourself, don't you care about them?"

Xu Huaian fell into complete silence.

"Your mother has been worrying about you for 20 years. That's enough. For her sake, you don't need to investigate this matter anymore. Just let it all return to ashes."

Xu Yitang let out a long sigh, turned around and stopped looking at Xu Huai'an after all, and said, "You go."

Xu Huai'an came out of Xu Yitang's study in a daze, Xu Huaiyuan was about to ask something when he saw this, but he saw that Xu Huai'an just cupped his hands at him in despair and left.

Xu Huaiyuan couldn't understand, so he had to go into the study and look at Xu Yitang.

"Father, the second brother..."

"You should take care of him more in the future, an ignorant child is too easy for others to take advantage of." Xu Yitang sighed.

Xu Huaiyuan's eyes were full of puzzlement: "Father, since you care so much about your second brother, why didn't you tell him yourself? He wants to listen to you more than me."

Xu Yitang smiled wryly, then shook his head and said, "You can't say it."

Then he turned to look at Xu Huaiyuan, looking at the face of his eldest son who was quite similar to himself, Xu Yitang seemed to see himself many years ago, and was in a daze for a while.

"Father?" Xu Huaiyuan couldn't help frowning.

Xu Yitang came back to his senses, then stepped forward and patted Xu Huaiyuan on the shoulder and said: "Father is sorry for your second brother, and let him hate me for the rest of his life. It is good for you two brothers to support each other. In the future, when father is gone, it will all depend on you gone."

"Father, you..." Xu Huaiyuan felt a little uneasy.

"Promise father." Xu Yitang only said.

Xu Huaiyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I understand, I promise you."

Xu Yitang smiled gratifiedly, and stopped talking.

Xu Huai'an went all the way back to the Princess Mansion, and when he got off the car, his expression was still pale. Seeing this, Jiang Xiuqing immediately informed Li Qiushuang of Xu Huai'an's condition.

After Li Qiushuang heard about it, she hurried over, and as expected, seeing Xu Huai'an's pale complexion, she couldn't help but frowned, walked forward slowly, half squatted down in front of Xu Huai'an, and raised her hand to caress the Master's face.

"What's the matter? Are you so unhappy? Didn't you go to see Dad? But what did Dad tell you?" Li Qiushuang asked softly.

Xu Huai'an regained his composure, and when he saw Li Qiushuang, he pursed his lips unconsciously and said, "Father didn't say anything, he just told me not to let me go any further, so stop here."

Li Qiushuang was stunned for a moment, Xu Huai'an said again: "Father also said, if I continue to investigate, I will kill everyone...I..."

"Huai'an." Li Qiushuang hurriedly called softly, Xu Huai'an couldn't help but stare at her blankly.

"What do you think?" Li Qiushuang asked gently.

"I...I don't know..." Xu Huai'an rubbed his hands, feeling a little helpless.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid it will really be like what dad said... I... I don't dare to think about it..." Xu Huai'an's lips were pale, and his face was full of panic.

"Okay, okay." Li Qiushuang quickly interrupted her, got up and embraced her in her arms, and comforted her softly: "Don't think about it, then don't think about it."

Xu Huai'an gritted his teeth, and said again: "But I'm not reconciled, I finally found out who was the victim of Langxuan, but at this time I was asked to give up, so how can my father rest in peace?"

Li Qiushuang followed her back, his eyes flickered, and then said: "Father, he refuses to say that there must be his difficulties. Don't worry, the worst is to take your time. It is already winter, and we will stay in Luoyang." So, by the way, I will celebrate the New Year here, sooner or later my father will tell me, there is no rush."

Xu Huaian calmed down, then pulled the corner of his lips and said: "You are right, even if it is grinding, I still have to get the truth from my father."

Hearing this, Li Qiushuang also showed a slight smile: "Well, just think about it."

Xu Huai'an sighed and said, "I'm afraid Uncle Jiang won't be able to wait that long."

"You're wrong, Huai'an." Li Qiushuang patted Xu Huai'an, and said with a light smile, "Uncle Jiang and the others have been waiting for 20 years, and they don't care about waiting a little longer, but what you have to do now is to protect you step by step. Myself, as dad said, you bear the lives of all of us on your shoulders, and we can only live if you live."

After being relieved, the smile on Xu Huai'an's face was no longer far-fetched, she simply hugged Li Qiushuang and said: "Sanniang always sees through better than I do."

Li Qiushuang smiled, stroked Xu Huai'an's hair, and said slightly in his eyes, "You are just being influenced by your emotions. If you want to be transparent, you should be more transparent."

Xu Huai'an raised his head to look at her, his eyebrows curved: "San Niang is used to coaxing me."

Li Qiushuang couldn't help pinching Xu Huai'an's shiny earlobes, and said with a smile, "Since you're back, you should take a good rest during this period, you've been tense for so long, it's time to relax, just to consolidate your internal strength. "

"Hmm." Xu Huai'an couldn't help shrinking his neck when she pinched his earlobe, and then said, "What about Fang Junyi?"

Li Qiushuang narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Master has expelled him from the school and ordered him to be arrested. Whether he can survive the severe poison in his body is still a question. Even if he survives, I'm afraid he won't be able to appear in the eyes of the world."

After Xu Huai'an listened, he covered Li Qiushuang's hand and said, "He is to blame for all this, you don't have to think about it."

Li Qiushuang couldn't help but kissed her on the cheek and said with a smile: "I know, it's just a pity that Senior Brother Fang destroyed himself."

Xu Huai'an pouted in dissatisfaction: "What a pity, he has a wicked mind, and he has no one to blame."

Li Qiushuang couldn't help laughing when she saw her obviously appetizing: "Okay, let's not mention him, let's think about what to do next?"

"I want to go back to Xu's mansion every day, hang around in front of my father, accompany my mother, and see if I can get something out of my mother." Xu Huai'an thought for a while.

"Alright." Li Qiushuang nodded approvingly, then thought for a while and said, "I'll go to the palace tomorrow, and after I leave the palace, I'll go to the Xu Mansion to look for you."

"Okay." Xu Huai'an responded with curved eyes.

Early the next morning, Li Qiushuang packed up and entered the palace, while Xu Huaian returned to Xu's residence accompanied by Jiang Xiuqing.

Li Qiushuang had just arrived at the gate of the palace, but ran into Li Chenghan who was also about to enter the palace.

"Third Sister." Li Chenghan looked at her and nodded with a smile.

"Second Brother." Li Qiushuang said with cupped hands.

"Third sister came back yesterday, so she came to pay her respects to the empress today?" Li Chenghan said with a smile.

"Yes." Li Qiushuang replied.

Li Chenghan glanced behind Li Qiushuang, and then said, "Why don't you see the third brother-in-law?"

"He has returned to the Xu Mansion." Li Qiushuang replied, and then said: "Second Brother, is this here to greet the imperial concubine?"

"Oh, this king came here at the order of his father." Li Chenghan said with a smile.

Li Qiushuang didn't say anything, just cupped his hands and said, "Second Brother, go get busy first, and I will leave first."

"Okay, no." Li Chenghan nodded.

Li Qiushuang bypassed Li Chenghan and walked towards the harem, her face was a bit solemn.

Li Chenghan is now more and more valued by Emperor Wen. In the court, the crown prince and King Qi are in the same situation, and it has reached a very serious point. If there is any disturbance, those grasshoppers should move.

Li Qiushuang came to Fengyi Palace, and after the announcement, the maid led her into the side hall.

"Why did Shuang'er come back so early this time?" Zhang Qingnian walked out supported by Ning Zhu, and couldn't help laughing when she saw Li Qiushuang.

Li Qiushuang said with a smile on his face: "Come back to do something, the son-in-law discussed with me, this year we plan to spend a new year's festival in Beijing."

Hearing this, Zhang Qingnian revealed a look of joy: "Shuang'er is serious?"

"Naturally." Li Qiushuang nodded and smiled.

"That's really great." Zhang Qingnian said with a smile.

Then he looked at Li Qiushuang and said, "Why didn't that child Huai'an come with you today?"

"I have something to do with the son-in-law's family. I'm going to see Xu Xiangguo." Li Qiushuang responded.

"Oh, so that's the case." Zhang Qingnian nodded, and then said: "How is Huai'an's body?"

When Li Qiushuang heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little headache, so she said: "My husband's health has improved a lot, the queen mother is relieved."

Zhang Qingnian nodded and said with a smile: "That's great, this time, you are not allowed to delay any longer."

Li Qiushuang raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Daughter knows."

"Don't be impatient, the queen mother is always thinking of you, you..."

Li Qiushuang listened to Zhang Qingnian's nagging helplessly, and when Zhang Qingnian was finally willing to let her go, she couldn't wait to resign.

After leaving the palace, Li Qiushuang breathed a sigh of relief. Every time Zhang Qingnian talked about Li Qiushuang like this, she felt a headache. She and Xu Huai'an were destined not to have children in this life, but that's okay, she just wanted to be with Xu Huai'an. .

"Your Highness." The attendants of the Princess Mansion greeted Li Qiushuang as soon as she came out.

Li Qiushuang glanced at them and remembered Xu Huai'an who was still waiting for her in the Xu residence, the corners of Li Qiushuang's lips twitched slightly.

She strode into the carriage and said.

"Go to Xu Mansion."
