Chapter 514: Han Ce's welcoming banquet, father and daughter finally meet
In his impression, although Xu Xuan was not gentle, she was kind and attached great importance to reputation.
How could she possibly do such a thing to her nephew? Where did this leave him?
And it was just too coincidental that Xu Xuan wanted her nephew to defile Chen Xingyun, but ended up ruining herself.
He didn't believe it was a coincidence.
Sure enough, I heard Han Zijing accusing me in a crying voice.
"Dad, that was all done by Chen Xingyun and the others. They deliberately ruined Mom's innocence and reputation. You must seek justice for Mom!"
Without waiting for Han Ye to say anything, Ning Leshu spoke again.
"If you do too much evil, you will eventually perish. Zijing, haven't you learned to be a good person during this period?"
Her eyes were full of disappointment.
I didn’t expect that Han Zijing is still trying to get close to Xingyun and the others.
Even if Xingyun and the others did it, so what? It was Xu Xuan who had the evil intention to harm others and finally suffered the consequences.
Han Ye looked dejected. It was indeed Xu Xuan who did something wrong in this matter.
However, Xiao Ying's family was decisive and ruthless enough. They used their own methods to retaliate against Xu Xuan, directly ruining her reputation.
He did not blame the other party. After all, if the other party succeeded, it would be Xiao Ying's family that would be ruined.
Instead, he felt guilty.
He was the one who took over Xiao Ying's identity, but he didn't expect his wife and children to cause such a thing.
Xiao Ying must be very angry and hate him, right?
But he didn't understand why things turned out like this.
Has the Xu Xuan in his mind ever done such a thing?
"Mom, why did Xu Xuan..."
Han Ye felt bitter in his heart. He wanted to find an answer, but was afraid to find that answer.
Ning Leshu looked at him with complicated eyes and said softly, "Why else? She did it for you."
"For me?"
Han Ye was stunned, and something seemed to flash through his mind.
Tan Yunshi suddenly smiled and said, "Mom, Dad and the others just came back today, they must be hungry and tired."
"Dinner is already prepared. Why don't you eat first? We can talk about it later."
Ning Leshu didn't want to continue talking. Although some things had to be faced, everyone had just returned today, so he should let them have a good rest first.
So he nodded and walked out first with Han Ce.
That night, almost everyone in the marquis' mansion fell into a deep sleep in the late night.
Ning Leshu told Han Ce everything that had happened during this period. Han Ce was amazed and did not expect Yingying to be so capable.
Tan Yunshi also told Han Xi about Xiao Ying's affairs, which made Han Xi admire this sister whom he had never met even more.
Only Han Ye was suffering. The more he knew, the more uncomfortable he felt.
On the second day, Han Ce, his father and his two sons changed into court robes and entered the palace again.
Today the emperor will hold a welcoming banquet for them. Although the banquet is not grand, several officials have been invited, which shows how much importance he attaches to them.
When the father and his two sons arrived at their destination, quite a few people had already arrived.
Seeing them arrive, everyone rushed over to greet them and congratulate them.
However, many people looked at Han Ye with meaningful eyes, and even if they didn't express it obviously, Han Ye still noticed it.
As night fell, two loud announcements suddenly rang out at the entrance of the hall.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
"The Grand Master has arrived!"
Everyone at the scene fell silent and looked towards the entrance of the hall.
When they saw two figures coming together, they all bowed and greeted each other.
"Your Highness."
"Greetings, His Excellency the Imperial Master."
Han Ce, his son and his two sons also saluted together, feeling surprised and curious.
The Imperial Master is here too. Isn’t that his sister Yingying?
None of the three had expected to meet in such an occasion, which caught them off guard.
Xiao Ying saw them at a glance. The emperor had specially sent someone to invite her to today's welcoming banquet.
She immediately understood the emperor's purpose, so she did not refuse.
"My dear ministers, please stand."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Everyone then raised their heads, each with different thoughts.
It’s interesting that the Marquis of Zhenyuan and his son invited the Imperial Master to their welcoming banquet.
The emperor smiled and said, "Today is a welcoming banquet for Han Aiqing and his son. Please be polite and take your seats."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After the emperor and Xiao Ying took their seats, the officials took their seats in order.
Because the Zhenyuan Marquis and his son were the protagonists, they sat in the closest seats.
Therefore, Xiao Ying can be seen clearly.
Today, Xiao Ying wore a moon-white long dress, which made her look even more elegant and graceful under the moonlight.
The father and his two sons were all stunned for a moment, and they all couldn't believe it.
In their imagination, Xiao Ying grew up in the countryside, had four children, and was already quite old...
Even if she is a monk, she shouldn't be so young and beautiful.
The person in front of me is completely different from what I imagined.
But Han Ce soon became happy again. Yingying looked very similar to Xiaoshu when he was young. Even with just one glance, he could be sure that this was his daughter!
Han Xi was also very happy. Perhaps because they were related by blood, he felt that his sister looked very friendly and it should not be difficult to get along with her.
Han Ye felt a little bitter and a little inferior.
Xiao Ying grew up so well despite growing up in the mountains. If he had not been transferred back then, he might have been even more powerful.
How could he know that Xiao Ying was no longer the same Xiao Ying as before?
In the past, Xiao Ying was truly raised as a village woman, and a wicked woman who sold her children.
Although he was originally a farm boy, he became a third-rank general because he was trained and taught in the Marquis' Mansion since childhood.
This shows the importance of growth environment to people.
The three of them were full of thoughts, but it only took a breath or two.
The emperor announced the start of the banquet, and teams of palace maids immediately filed in and placed delicious dishes in front of everyone.
"Lord Han has just returned, and perhaps he doesn't know yet that our Yue Kingdom has a new Imperial Master."
The emperor noticed the gazes of Han Ye and the other two, and couldn't help but smile.
"Speaking of which, our Imperial Master has a close relationship with Han Aiqing."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked at Xiao Ying and the Han family father and son. Did the emperor want them to recognize their relationship in public?
Tsk tsk... I don't know how General Han Ye will deal with this.
