Chapter 477 Father and Mother will definitely like this daughter-in-law
Shi Chang'an was stunned by Xiao Yan's arrogant words. He looked at his face, which was sharp and resolute. It was an ambition that he had never seen on the faces of emperors of other dynasties.
Shi Changan suddenly burst into laughter. Instead of mocking him for being too arrogant, he spoke out loudly.
"Great! Great! There will no longer be any distinction between Wei and Qi in the world, and there will no longer be any difference between the ruler of Qi and the ruler of Wei."
It's a rare thing that this guy named Cao didn't make a mistake in choosing the right person.
Such a person is worthy of following.
Shi Chang'an stood up with the help of one hand, straightened his clothes, and then bowed solemnly to Xiao Yan.
"Shi Yulin has met the Lord and is willing to assist him to the best of his ability as the Lord wishes."
Xiao Yan accepted his greeting calmly before reaching out to help Shi Changan stand up.
"Mr.'s name is Yulin? Which two characters?"
"Jade water and mountain scenery, the name of Qilin."
Cao Dejiang sneered: "He chose this name himself. How shameless."
Shi Changan lost his composure and turned to glare at Cao Dejiang: "If you don't speak, no one will think you're dumb. Besides, how dare you criticize me? As if you have to be proud to say that!"
"You have to be self-reliant, Bo Ru. Your master didn't give you these two names back then. It was clearly Bo Ru."
Bo means clever and intelligent. Using this character implies humility, tolerance, talent and appearance. However, Cao Dejiang changed his character after being expelled from his master's school.
Shi Changan sneered back without hesitation: "You're just taking advantage of the fact that no one knows about it to fool others. You're also Bo Ru, indifferent to fame and wealth, and calm and unselfish. How are you any like that?"
"You are cunning, deep-minded, vicious, and greedy. How does the word Bo Ru even describe you?"
Cao Dejiang: "...nonsense, this is the name I used when I came of age."
"Make it up!"
Shi Changan rolled his eyes: "I still have the letter you wrote when you challenged my sect. Do you want to read it?"
"cough!"
Cao Dejiang coughed heavily, and seeing Tang Ning and Xiao Yan standing beside him with interest on their faces, he sighed with a somewhat stiff expression.
"What are you looking at? Who hasn't done some stupid things when they were young?" Then he glared at Shi Changan and said, "Shi Yulin, aren't you ashamed to bring up old things in front of this junior?"
Shi Changan said expressionlessly: "It's not my people who are lost!"
Cao Dejiang: “…”
Tang Ning saw that the old man who was always in charge of the overall situation had turned pale, his shoulders shook and he almost laughed out loud.
Xiao Yan's mouth twitched as well.
No wonder these two can appreciate each other so much, their relationship was equally wonderful when they were young.
Yulin... Boru...
Puff.
Cao Dejiang and Shi Changan glanced over at the same time. Xiao Yan put his fist to his lips and coughed softly, "The moon is quite round today."
Outside the window, dark clouds covered the bright moon, and the sky was pitch black.
Cao Dejiang/Shi Changan: Do you want to see what the hell you are talking about?
…
Xiao Yan and Tang Ning were directly driven out by Cao Dejiang. When they arrived outside Yanling Residence, Xiao Yan still had a smile on his face.
Although I felt complicated when I came here, with a bit of nervousness and hesitation, now I feel completely relaxed after chatting with Cao Dejiang and the others.
Not to mention Tang Ning who was following Xiao Yan, even Cang Lang and Xu Nei Shi who were standing outside could feel that their master was in a very good mood.
Xiao Yan said to Xu Yu, "There will be some changes in the palace in the next few days. There will be more eyes around me, and there will be spies in Jiyun Lane. You can't let your identity be discovered for the time being, so you should stay at Cao's mansion for now. I will pick you up later."
Xu Yu said respectfully, "This old servant will follow your Highness's instructions."
"Don't call me Your Highness. Let others call me Governor, so as not to cause trouble for Lord Cao if someone hears."
"Yes, I understand."
"Are you feeling okay?" Xiao Yan asked with concern.
Xu Yu's eyes flashed with warmth: "This old slave is easy to take care of. Cao Gong has also ordered a doctor to take care of this old slave. There is nothing serious."
Xiao Yan said gently, "That's good. Just follow Lord Cao. If you need to find me, follow Mr. Shi to Rongsheng Academy."
"Once I have settled matters at court, I will definitely find an opportunity for you to openly appear before the public and explain what happened."
Xu Yu nodded: "Okay."
…
It was already late at night when I left Cao's house. The entire capital was under curfew and was extremely quiet.
Xiao Yan and Tang Ning sat in the carriage. The meager moonlight shone in through the gaps in the curtains blown by the night wind, falling on Xiao Yan's eyebrows that were half hidden in the dimness, softening his originally cold outline, and even his usually cold eyebrows became gentle.
"Brother, when are we going to visit Father and the others?"
Tang Ning's words "Father" made Xiao Yan's lips curl up slightly.
He pulled her close to him and held her slender hand: "Don't worry, wait until things in the capital are settled."
Seeing Tang Ning looking up at him, Xiao Yan explained, "Just before he left, Lord Cao mentioned Grand Tutor Liang. Yesterday, Feng Qiuli also sent a message saying that Liang Guangyi was secretly investigating the Xiao family's past. I think he must have noticed something."
Among the aristocratic families, Lu Chongyuan is the most ambitious and cunning and capable of ruthlessness, but the Grand Tutor Liang Guangyi is even more shrewd and scheming. If it weren't for the fact that there was no one in the Liang family who could inherit the position of the leader of the aristocratic families, and if it weren't for the various issues between the Lu family and Emperor An, and Lu Chongyuan being too aggressive, Liang Guangyi would definitely not choose to support Lu Chongyuan to take over his position.
Cui Lin is ambitious but not very smart, conceited and easily provoked and angered, which is why he is often plotted against by Feng Qiuli. However, Liang Guangyi is different.
Cao Dejiang only used him to stop the Lu family once and caused Lu Chongyuan's death, but Liang Guangyi realized that something was wrong.
Following the story of Queen Lu, he learned that Cui Lin was plotted against and the second and fourth princes were killed by him. His ruthless plot against the Lu family also made Liang Guangyi suspicious. He directly bypassed "Xiao Yan" to investigate the past of the Xiao family, and it was obvious that he had doubts about his identity like Liu Tongen.
Xiao Yan's eyes dimmed a little: "The palace banquet is coming soon, and there is no room for error. Leaving the capital at this time will attract too much attention."
"Besides, Liang Guangyi is more troublesome than Liu Tongen. If he really wants to investigate, the Xiao family will not be able to hide it from him. We must 'expose' the He family's affairs before he can find out the Xiao family's past, implicate the Hateful Prince, and force Emperor An to exonerate the He family."
Only those members of the Xiao family who faked their deaths can come forward.
Xiao Yan reached out and gently stroked Tang Ning's cheek: "We must also clear the name of A'niang and the others, and let the world know what the Song family did."
Tang Ning's eyelashes drooped slightly, and she rubbed her cheek against his palm: "Then after this is over, we will go together to pay tribute to Father, Mother, Mother, and Father."
"good."
The night breeze was gentle, and the two of them snuggled up to each other in the carriage. Xiao Yan held the little girl in his arms and looked at the night sky outside through the curtains.
My father and mother will definitely like this daughter-in-law very much.
Like him as much...
