"Master Li said that we must not let them find out what we've done, or we'll all die."
【However, none of the assassins they sent out succeeded.】
"Now that they're getting closer, if the truth comes out, Lord Li might not be in any danger, but my Xu family will definitely be the scapegoat."
"Now Cuicui is with His Majesty. If His Majesty is pleased with Cuicui, even if it's just as a concubine, then my Xu family will be safe."
[Also, I heard that they came out not only for a private visit, but also to find medicine for the little prince.]
If our Xu family can help find these herbs, wouldn't that be a favor to the royal family? Then...
"No, what if they look down on Cuicui, or Cuicui doesn't please the Emperor? Then wouldn't my Xu family be offended by both sides?"
[Luckily, I reacted quickly. Otherwise, this momentary confusion would have brought trouble to the entire Xu family.]
In just a few breaths, Mr. Xu had analyzed the pros and cons, and Ye Xiaoxiao had also gotten what she wanted.
After Xu Yuanwai figured it out, he started practicing Tai Chi with them.
"Sir, my branch of the Xu family is naturally surnamed Xu."
"However, that branch is now somewhat declining, and there is only one daughter left in the family, so she may not be able to be of great use."
Ye Xiaoxiao curled her lips, picked up the teacup and drank slowly.
"Mr. Xu is right. Our Young Master Wang was just saying it casually. After all, when it comes to business, it must be done with mutual consent."
Ye Xiaoxiao's thinking span was a bit too big, and Wang Xiao was a little confused, so he had to drink tea to hide his emotions.
After Mr. Xu made up his mind not to mention that Lord Li, he turned his attention to Xiao Cui.
"Master Wang, Miss Xiao Cui's indenture has been burned. She is now a free woman."
"If Young Master Wang likes her, he can take her away at any time."
"Don't worry, Young Master Wang. I didn't coerce Miss Xiao Cui, so she is still innocent."
"Actually, I wanted to help her because I felt she was too pitiful."
"I didn't expect that this little girl, Xiao Cui, is not only filial but also very strong-willed. I admire her very much and plan to set her free."
"I didn't expect that she would meet the young master. This is truly a blessing she has earned in this life."
Xiao Cui stood beside Wang Xiao with her head down. If you looked closely, you could see that her pretty face was slightly red.
[My dad is such a great guy, he's almost embarrassed by all the praise he's given me.]
"But you're an outsider now, and you're an old man who almost married me. It's embarrassing to say that you're innocent."
[I don't know if Young Master Wang will be suspicious. What should I do if he doubts my innocence?]
[Otherwise, I'll go to his room tonight and give him a surprise.]
I saw that he and Xiaotian weren't talking much, and they seemed to be in a bad mood. Maybe now is my chance.
[That's right, I need my dad to find a way to keep them here.]
Ye Xiaoxiao: “…”
Her face hurt from the bouncing of the abacus beads between the father and daughter, but it seemed that Wang Xiao and Tian Xuan were indeed a little off recently.
Ye Xiaoxiao's thoughts were racing, and Wang Xiao looked embarrassed when he heard Xu Yuanwai praising Xiao Cui.
After taking a look at Ye Xiaoxiao and seeing that she had no intention of helping or stopping him, Wang Xiao spoke directly.
"Mr. Xu, it's only a small favor for me to help Miss Xiao Cui."
"I came here today to discuss this matter with you."
Both Mr. Xu and Xu Cuicui were a little surprised, and then they couldn't wait to wait for Wang Xiao's next words.
"Mr. Xu, we came out for something important to do. It's too inconvenient to take this woman with us."
"However, as the official said, this Miss Xiao Cui is really pitiful."
"So, today we are mainly here to give her back her freedom."
"Now that our goal has been achieved, it's time for us to leave. But before we go, Mr. Wang has a request, and I hope Mr. Wang will agree to it."
Mr. Xu nodded quickly and Wang Xiao smiled faintly.
"Please ask the lord to help take care of Miss Xiao Cui. If she is willing, you can continue to marry her."
"If she doesn't want to, find her a job to make a living, as long as she doesn't have to follow us anymore."
After Wang Xiao finished speaking, he stood up and was about to say goodbye. Xu Yuanwai and Xu Cuicui were stunned.
"No, Prince Wang, this is inappropriate."
"There's nothing inappropriate. Xiaotian, Ershao, Dashao, let's go."
After Wang Xiao finished speaking, he turned around and left without giving the Xu father and daughter a chance.
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Wang Xiao's fleeing back and felt a little amused.
"Mr. Xu, my young master Wang is just like that. But he is right. It is really inconvenient for us to take Xiao Cui with us. I am sorry to bother you."
After Ye Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she followed Wang Xiao out.
Mr. Xu and Xu Xiaocui looked at each other and had to let them go reluctantly.
However, after they left, Xiao Cui snorted unwillingly.
"Dad, why did you let them go like this?"
Mr. Xu frowned. He always felt that Ye Xiaoxiao and the others came and left in a strange way.
"Cui Cui, don't worry, Daddy will definitely make your wish come true."
Xiao Cui pouted unhappily, and Mr. Xu whispered something in her ear.
After Ye Xiaoxiao and others left, they immediately went to the inn.
"My dear, is there any official with the surname Li among the third-rank officials?"
Shangguan Lingyun knew that she must have heard something. After thinking for a moment, he nodded.
"There are three officials with the surname Li above the third rank: Li Si, the Minister of Justice, Li Zhiyuan, and Li Shichen, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War."
