"The eldest princess of the Xirong royal family, Baili Qingluan."
Xiao Lingyu was startled. "Is this General Song Heng's daughter-in-law?"
"That's right, but I haven't seen her use her might in person. I only heard about it when I led troops to the western border to support the Song family army. Not long after, I heard that Baili Qingluan was going to marry the third son of the Song family."
"Have you ever seen Baili Qingluan?"
Xiao Su shook his head. "I've never seen her true face. She always wore a veil or a carved mask when she went out. When she first came to Beiyi, she attended two palace banquets. You should have seen her at those banquets."
Xiao Lingyu thought about it for a moment, but didn't have much of an impression. "I was just a kid then, so I don't remember much. Did she ever attend the palace banquet again?"
"She's not good at entertaining guests. After the news of the happy event in the Song Mansion came out, she hasn't attended any banquets. However, her precious daughter often shows up."
"You only have one daughter, and no sons?"
Upon hearing this, Su Xingyi glanced at Xiao Lingyu. Could it be that Xiao Lingyu thought that Baili Qingluan was An Ge'er's mother?
Xiao Xier: Could it be that my eldest brother is also a child that daddy picked up and raised?
"Yes, only one daughter."
"So is she naturally strong?"
Xiao Xier was certain that her eldest brother was also a child that her father picked up and raised!
"No, the child is six years old and has inherited his father's talent for painting."
Xiao Lingyu felt a little disappointed when he heard this, as he thought he would find Anger's biological parents soon.
"It is said that the Xirong royal family sends gold, silver, jewelry, and exquisite silk to the Song Mansion every year. The Song Mansion and the Xirong royal family have communicated through letters over the years."
Xiao Lingyu said, "It seems that they have a very good relationship as husband and wife. Baili Qingluan is reluctant to go back to Xirong to see her family."
"That's right. It's because of their good relationship that the people along the border of Beiyi and Xirong can do business freely and live a prosperous life. An Ge'er is naturally strong. Why not join the military camp to gain experience and become a great general in the future?"
Xiao Lingyu: "It depends on An Ge'er's wishes. He loves painting now, so it would be great if he could become an excellent painter."

At the end of the Xu hour, the carriage arrived in Anyang County.
At this time, Mrs. Xiao went to bed early with the help of her servants.
As usual, Liang took the younger generation of the Xiao family to study at night.
Xiao Jing was practicing boxing and martial arts in the backyard.
Only old Duke Xiao, the Protector of the Country, was looking out at the gate of the mansion. His eyelids had been twitching all day, and he had a hunch that his Yu'er would appear in front of him soon.
"Duke, it's getting late. Go back to your room and rest." Xiao He, the Xiao Mansion's housekeeper, advised, "The roads are difficult to travel at night, and it rained tonight. The general won't take the young lady on a journey overnight."
Xiao Tianci glanced at the slightly damp cobblestones in front of the door with the lantern. "That's right, close the door."
After Xiao Tianci finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the main courtyard.
Just as the housekeeper Xiao Su was about to close the door, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the intersection in front of him on the left.
Soon, two carriages headed straight for the Xiao residence.
"My Lord! It seems the general has returned."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianci's beard stood up with joy, and he used his lightness skills to fly towards the gate.
He rushed towards Xiao Su and threw himself into his arms.
"Dad, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Xiao Tianci said anxiously, "Get out of the way! I want to see Yu'er."
"Dad, wait a moment."
Xiao Tianci felt something was wrong when he heard this. "What? Didn't things go well? Didn't you bring Yu'er back?"
"I took it back, but..."
"What is it! Tell me quickly!" Xiao Tianci looked outside the mansion anxiously.
"I brought them all."
"What? You can't even handle such a small matter? Get out of my way!"
Xiao Tianci was so angry that he pushed Xiao Su away.
He has to use his power to oppress others.
"grandfather!"
"Yu'er, I've finally got you back." Xiao Tianci cried with joy. "Grandpa's eyelids have been twitching all day, hoping you'd show up in front of me tonight. I never thought you'd actually show up. Come on, let me take a closer look."
Butler Xiao He had the foresight to hold up the lantern high.
"Grandfather, Yu'er hasn't suffered any hardship or pain." Xiao Lingyu held Xiao Tianci's wrist and took the opportunity to check his pulse. "Pinch my face. I've gained a lot of weight."
Xiao Tianci quickly retracted his big, rough hand covered with calluses. He couldn't bear to pinch it.
I raised my hand and gently touched her head, only then I noticed that she had her hair styled like a woman.
My heart suddenly felt a pang of pain.
His gaze turned to the four people, father and son, behind Xiao Lingyu, and then looked past them at the carriage.
Didn’t that family also come here?
Why don't you get off the carriage?
Do you still want him to invite you?!
"Grandfather, let me introduce you."
Xiao Lingyu waved to the four father and sons.
"Grandfather, this is your grandson-in-law Su Xingyi and his children..."
"Meet Grandfather!"
"Meet my great-grandfather!"
Xiao Tianci opened his mouth in shock. What were they calling him?!
Grandson-in-law?
Great-grandson?
"Dad." Xiao Su saw his father's look of surprise and chuckled to himself, "It's getting late. Let Yu'er and the others come in first... I'll go to the study and explain everything to you."
Xiao Jing and Liang rushed over after hearing the news, surrounded Xiao Lingyu, asked about his well-being, and greeted Su Xingyi and his two sons with smiles.
Xiao Jing was very curious and enthusiastic about the Su family, and personally took them to the wing room.
On the way to the wing room, Xiao Jing's gaze drifted towards Su Xingyi from time to time.
Tsk tsk tsk.
The food in Beiyi is pretty good.
Su Xingyi must have eaten well, which is why he looks so good.
Is this really his disabled nephew-in-law?
Where is he injured?
