The son-in-law is too shy

Hearing that Li Qiushuang was coming, Xu Huaian went out to pick him up in person.

Seeing Li Qiushuang get off the carriage, Xu Huai'an smiled and stepped forward to support him, "Why did you come back so soon?"

Li Qiushuang was quite helpless: "If you stay a little longer, mother will be able to read through my ears."

Xu Huai'an chuckled, and then said: "It's okay, lunch is just ready in the kitchen, let's use it together."

"Okay." Li Qiushuang bent her lips and took her hand and walked in together.

The lunch was well prepared. Sitting together with the whole Xu family, it could be seen that Xu Yitang was no longer as indifferent to Xu Huai'an. After Xu knew everything, he didn't intend to put on an act to show others, but he treated Xu Huai'an sincerely. Get better.

Seeing Li Qiushuang coming, Xu Yitang nodded slightly and said, "Sit down, Your Highness. Huai'an had previously ordered the kitchen to prepare meals for one more person. I guessed that you would come."

Li Qiushuang couldn't help smiling after hearing this, and glanced at Xu Huai'an, Xu Huai'an's cheeks flushed with shame, and hurriedly said: "Quickly stop standing, take a seat."

According to Li Qiushuang, the dinner table was very quiet, Xu Yitang always asked Xu Huaian to answer, father and daughter got along very harmoniously.

Seeing this, Li Qiushuang couldn't help feeling relieved, and quietly served Xu Huaian with food.

After lunch, Xu Yitang had to deal with government affairs and left first, Li Qiushuang talked with Xu Huaiyuan and Shen Mengyun.

Shen Mengyun was very vigilant, no matter how Xu Huai'an made insinuations, he would never reveal any rumors, Xu Huai'an was helpless, and finally explained the matter honestly.

"Mom, I saw daddy, my dear daddy."

Shen Mengyun froze immediately, looked at Xu Huai'an in disbelief, and said after a while, "You...what did you say?"

Xu Huai'an told Shen Mengyun the whole story of the incident, Shen Mengyun listened and sat there blankly, tears streaming down his face.

"Yunlang...Yunlang..." Shen Mengyun covered his face with his hands and sobbed.

Xu Huaian hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Mother, don't cry, Dad can't help himself."

Shen Mengyun shook her head and said in a trembling voice: "I don't blame him, I don't blame him, I only blame myself, it's too useless to blame myself."

Xu Huai'an didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so he could only comfort Shen Mengyun's back, Shen Mengyun slowed down for a while, and then asked: "Is your father buried?"

Xu Huai'an nodded heavily and said: "I buried father with my own hands, the broken dragon stone in the Longevity Tomb has been lowered, no one will go back to disturb father."

Shen Mengyun nodded, but Xu Huai'an knelt down and said: "Mother, my son is not filial, so I can't be filial for my father, but my son hopes to avenge my father and everyone in Langxuan, so that they will have spirits in the sky, and they can rest in peace. I beg mother to tell me, Who was the one who betrayed Langxuan 20 years ago? And who is behind Xuanyin Hall?"

Shen Mengyun pursed her lips and fell into silence, then she got up, looked at the statue of Bodhisattva enshrined not far away, and looked at the curling cigarettes on the incense burner, she lowered her eyes.

"An'er, it's not that Mother doesn't want to tell you, it's just that there are too many things involved, and it's not up to you to solve it on your own. It's not that Langxuan's blood vendetta doesn't know, but there are some things that shouldn't be too persistent."

Xu Huai'an was startled, she looked at Shen Mengyun in confusion and said, "Mother, what do you mean?"

Shen Mengyun pursed her lips and said again: "An'er, stop it, so what if some things know the truth? It's just a gnat that shakes the tree's arm and turns it into a car, and it will only implicate more people."

Xu Huai'an gritted her teeth, but Li Qiushuang held her shoulders when she was about to say something. She looked at Li Qiushuang but saw Li Qiushuang shaking her head slightly at her.

She knew it in her heart, and finally pursed her lips and said nothing more.

Li Qiushuang opened his mouth instead: "Mother doesn't want to say, we don't want to ask any more. Mother needs to pay attention to her body. Huai'an is only your elder relative."

After hearing this, Shen Mengyun turned around and held the corner of Li Qiushuang's lips, then said to Xu Huai'an: "Get up quickly, don't just kneel down at every turn."

"Yes." Xu Huai'an had no choice but to stand up obediently.

Shen Mengyun said again: "Okay, I'm a little tired, you see, it's up to you whether you go to your previous courtyard to rest or go back to your residence."

Shen Mengyun issued the eviction order, Xu Huai'an had no choice but to take his leave and returned to the Princess Mansion with Li Qiushuang, his expression a bit gloomy along the way.

Li Qiushuang watched, and couldn't help sighing in her heart, finally returned to the Princess Mansion, Li Qiushuang retreated from the servants, looked at Xu Huai'an and said.

"Still angry?"

Xu Huai'an's chest was full of gloom, which made her extremely annoyed, but there was nowhere to vent it. She nodded dully and said, "Yes."

Feeling helpless, Li Qiushuang pulled him to sit down and said, "Have you forgotten what I told you earlier? Don't rush into anything."

Xu Huai'an immediately bowed his head and said, "I was eager for quick success, but I didn't expect that even so, Mother would still refuse to tell me the truth."

Speaking of this, Xu Huai'an couldn't help being a little discouraged. She originally thought that Shen Mengyun would tell her everything after telling Qin Yiyun's story, but what she didn't expect was that Shen Mengyun would reject her more simply. What kind of person is he? What kind of force would make Shen Mengyun give up rather than bring up this matter again?

Xu Huaian had a headache.

Seeing this, Li Qiushuang knew that Xu Huai'an was thinking too much again, she got up and walked behind Xu Huai'an, raised her hand and pressed Xu Huai'an's temple gently to make her relax.

"Okay, don't think about it, don't rush this matter, take your time, and the truth will come to light one day."

Xu Huai'an couldn't help leaning against Li Qiushuang's arms, slightly raised his head to look at Li Qiushuang and said, "San Niang, do you think I should continue to investigate this matter, or listen to my parents and stop here?"

Hearing this, Li Qiushuang looked at her and said, "If my personal selfishness is definitely that I don't want you to continue the investigation, I just want to live a good life with you, but I know that although you don't say anything, you are full of stubborn temper. You won’t change the things I’ve decided, even if I wear my tongue out, so I might as well follow your wishes and advance and retreat together with you.”

After listening to Li Qiushuang's words, Xu Huai'an showed a happy smile and said, "Sanniang still understands me best."

Li Qiushuang pinched her face amusedly and said: "But I will not allow you to do things that hurt yourself, Huai'an, I have everything."

The words "Everything depends on me" made Xu Huai'an's heart tremble slightly, she held Li Qiushuang's hand, nodded solemnly and said, "I remember."

Only then did Li Qiushuang bend her lips into a faint smile.

In the days to come, the two of them lived very comfortably. They would go to Xu's mansion after nothing happened during the day. Xu Huaian often played chess with Xu Yitang. Xu Yitang praised the chess skills he learned from Wu Yunfeng, and Li Qiushuang was a colleague Shen Mengyun chatted and talked about Xu Huaian.

At first Shen Mengyun was a little resistant to Li Qiushuang, but after seeing that she was sincerely treating Xu Huai'an, she gradually let go of the barrier, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became more and more harmonious.

In the blink of an eye, it was already December, and the snow in Luoyang City had already started to fall one after another.

Wrapped in a thick cloak, Xu Huai'an was let out of the house. Although her body was better than before and she had internal strength to protect her body, Li Qiushuang was still worried and insisted on wearing thick clothes before letting people go out.

Outside the princess mansion, Li Chengyu had been waiting for a long time, when he saw Xu Huaian coming out, he immediately smiled and said, "Huai'an, you can figure it out."

It snowed all day and night in Luoyang, Li Chengyu specially came to invite Xu Huaian to enjoy the snow today, originally wanted to call Li Qiushuang, but Li Qiushuang was going to the palace to meet Emperor Wen today, so Li Chengyu only wanted to take Xu Huaian out for a walk.

Xu Huaijian pretended not to understand Li Chengyu's joke, and only said, "Where are you going to enjoy the snow today?"

Li Chengyu smiled and said, "Don't you know when you arrive?"

Seeing his trickery, Xu Huai'an just smiled helplessly and got into the carriage. Seeing Xu Huai'an being so forthright, Li Chengyu frowned and sat up too.

The carriage was driving leisurely, there was a heater in the carriage, the small place was roasted warmly, Li Chengyu's chattering words could be heard in his ears, Xu Huai'an listened with his head propped up, and he felt faintly sleepy at the back, following the bumps of the carriage After all, Xu Huai'an couldn't help but fell asleep.

Li Qiushuang entered the palace, but it was not the Emperor Wen whom she met in the imperial study, but in the palace where she lived when she was young.

Plum blossoms were planted in the courtyard of the bedroom. In the cold winter months, the plum blossoms were the most gratifying. Emperor Wen was dressed in a golden dragon robe, standing in the snow-white plum garden, which seemed somewhat desolate.

Li Qiushuang saw this scene when she stepped into the yard, she was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward to salute, "My daughter has seen Father."

"En." Emperor Wen responded, then turned his head to look at Li Qiushuang, those eyes carried the majesty of a superior but also the love of a father.

"Get up."

"Thank you, father." Li Qiushuang stood up respectfully, and then looked at Emperor Wen with some confusion: "I don't know why my father called me into the palace?"

Emperor Wen smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just that I was busy with business before. I heard that you came back to stay for a long time and wanted to chat with you, but I didn't expect to be free until today."

Hearing this, Li Qiushuang pursed her lips unconsciously and said, "What would father want to talk to me about?"

Emperor Wen smiled and pointed to the stove tea table placed in the corridor not far away, and said, "Stop standing, sit down and talk."

Li Qiushuang didn't speak, but sat down on the porch with Emperor Wen.

"Wandering in the rivers and lakes these years, how does it feel?" Emperor Wen took the initiative to ask, took a sip of the new tea poured by the maid.

"Everything is fine, please take care of Father Lao." Li Qiushuang said.

Emperor Wen nodded, but sighed softly again: "I regret it a bit."

Li Qiushuang was stunned for a moment, then said: "What do you regret, father?"

Emperor Wen shook his head, raised his eyes to look at the plum garden in the courtyard, and said: "If I didn't agree with you to practice martial arts, and didn't agree with you to worship Qingyangzi as a teacher, and didn't force you to marry Zhao Gan, would you be obedient? Staying in the palace, let me enjoy the family happiness under the knees of my son and daughter without worrying all the time?"

Li Qiushuang opened her mouth when she heard the words, but she didn't know what to say, and the father and daughter fell into silence for a while.

Fortunately, the silence didn't last long, and a little eunuch hurried in.

Emperor Wen frowned displeased, and said in a low voice, "Why are you so flustered?"

The little eunuch quickly knelt down, with his head on the ground, and said tremblingly: "My Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Jin was traveling with the third son-in-law, but on the way there were robbers hijacking the car, His Royal Highness Jin was seriously injured, and the third son-in-law was missing!
