The World is Shocked 97. The New Master of the Han Family

When Han Mingxi came in, he looked completely different from his usual cheerful and cheerful self. His handsome smile with a hint of evil had disappeared. Now he looked more tired and gloomy, and seemed to have a sense of grievance and disappointment of being abandoned. Ye Li could only sigh silently in her heart. Mo Xiuyao made the decision he thought was most appropriate, and Han Mingyue chose the person he thought was most important. And Han Mingxi... In fact, from the beginning to the end, he was the most innocent one.

"Prince, Princess." Han Mingxi said in a somewhat stiff voice.

Mo Xiuyao nodded slightly and said calmly, "Please sit down, Mr. Han." Han Mingxi sat down without saying a word, his eyes passed over Ye Li and stayed for a moment before returning to Mo Xiuyao. "Did the prince know my elder brother's plan a long time ago?" Staring at Mo Xiuyao, Han Mingxi asked bluntly. Mo Xiuyao nodded and said, "Han Mingyue knows me, and I know him. So... I can roughly guess what kind of decision he will make for what kind of person or what kind of thing. However, he probably didn't expect me to come so soon." Han Mingxi was silent. Yes, if Mo Xiuyao hadn't suddenly come to Guangling, perhaps Han Mingyue would have suddenly disappeared after arranging everything one night or day. Now, Han Mingyue, whose plan was disrupted, could only attack Han Mingqi unexpectedly, and then leave in a hurry. However, he left a lot of mess for his little brother whom he had spoiled since childhood.

"So, what is your plan for coming to see me now, Master Han?" Mo Xiu Yao asked in a deep voice.

Han Mingxi stared at him and asked, "If I don't have any plans, what are you going to do?"

Mo Xiuyao lowered his eyes and said, "All the hidden stakes in Guangling City and Tianyi Pavilion in Dachu will be demolished within three days. As for the Han family, I have no right to deal with them. However, if the decree from the capital really comes down, Master Han should know what the content will be."

"All nine clans will be executed..." Han Mingxi murmured bitterly, "Brother, for that woman, do you think you don't care about me or the Han family at all?" There was silence in the hall for a long time, and Han Mingxi finally raised his head and said to Mo Xiuyao, "The Han family has expelled Han Mingyue from the family. From now on, Han Mingyue is no longer a member of the Guangling Han family!" Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows slightly. Who said that Han Mingxi was useless? In terms of his decisive mind, Han Mingxi was definitely more suitable to be in charge of the Han family than Han Mingyue. Mo Xiuyao nodded, "In this case, I will also write to the emperor to prove the innocence of the Han family." Han Mingyue lowered her eyes and said lightly, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Although she had never liked Mo Xiuyao, Han Mingxi had to thank him. Even if the Han family severed their relationship with Han Mingyue, once Han Mingyue really worked for Xiling in the future, the Han family would still not be able to escape the fate of being punished. Even if they were lucky enough to escape, the cost of arranging and smoothing the relationship would be enough to ruin the Han family. With the words of Prince Dingguo, even the emperor would not question the innocence of the Han family. The Dingguo Palace and the three surrounding countries can be said to have a deep hatred, and even if the emperor himself colluded with the enemy, Prince Ding would never do so.

"I have one more thing to ask of you, Prince and Princess."

"Sir, please feel free to speak." Mo Xiuyao said.

Han Mingxi's eyes flashed with determination, and he looked at Ye Li and said, "Han Mingxi, as the head of the Han family, is willing to follow the prince and princess." Following as the head of the Han family means that the entire Han family will support the Dingguo Palace.

"What are the conditions?" Mo Xiuyao asked. Han Mingxi knew that such a big bet could not be unconditional.

Han Mingxi said in a deep voice: "I only ask... if my elder brother falls into the hands of the prince in the future, please be kind enough to spare his life." Han Mingxi knew very well that with Han Mingyue's future identity and position, it was impossible not to confront the Dingguo Palace. He also knew that his elder brother was far from being a match for the Dingguo Prince. Not only because his martial arts and intelligence were slightly inferior to the Dingguo Prince, but also because... he did not have the help of the Dingguo Prince's wife, and that bitch would only cause trouble for his elder brother. Mo Xiuyao laughed softly and said, "Mr. Han is indeed a man of loyalty and righteousness. Since Mr. Han has so much confidence in me... as you wish. Mr. Han can just do whatever Ah Li wants in the future." Han Mingxi looked at Mo Xiuyao with some surprise, then looked at Ye Li who was sitting next to him, bowed his head and said, "I obey your orders. I am sorry to disturb the prince and princess. Bye."

Seeing Han Mingxi stand up and leave, Mo Xiuyao thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Han Mingyue dared to let go so easily because he also knew what I did. He knew that I would not harm the foundation of the Han family."

Han Mingxi paused and walked out of the hall without looking back.

"Why should I tell him this? And let him listen to me?" Ye Li looked at Mo Xiu Yao and asked in confusion. Mo Xiuyao smiled and said, "Han Mingyue values ​​love, and so does Han Mingxi. However, Han Mingyue values ​​personal feelings more, while Han Mingxi values ​​brotherhood more. Rather than letting him feel resentful one day when he finds out that I have plotted against the power of his Han family, it is better to tell him directly now. He is a smart man and knows how to choose. As for...Ali, since you have been involved in this dispute, no one can withdraw. Ali, you need to have enough strength to protect yourself. Even if you don't have it, people will not dare to touch your strength easily. Besides, Han Mingxi is arrogant and scheming. If he doesn't obey me, even if he is loyal to me, he will inevitably be hypocritical. I don't think he will harm you. But Ali..." As if he thought of something, Mo Xiuyao looked at Ye Li seriously. Ye Li raised her eyebrows, and Mo Xiuyao said in a gentle and soft voice, "You can't be too nice to him. Otherwise..."

"What's the matter?" Ye Li asked, feeling uncomfortable with his strange look.

"Otherwise I will kill him!" Mo Xiuyao whispered, but Ye Li could hear the seriousness in his words, "At least not while I am alive."

Ye Li's heart shuddered, she reached out and held his hand, and said seriously: "You will be fine." Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly and stopped talking about this topic, "Okay, Ah Li. Let's continue with the topic just now." Ye Li's memory is certainly not bad. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Mo Xiuyao and asked: "What kind of woman can make a man like Han Mingyue so obsessed?" Not to mention how many role-playing women Han Mingyue himself has seen, just say that as the owner of Mingyue Tower, all the women in Qingfeng Mingyue Tower are talented and beautiful. What kind of peerless woman can fascinate a man like Han Mingyue like this. Mo Xiuyao looked at Ye Li and uttered three words in a deep voice, "Su Zuidie."

"Su Zui...Su Zuidie?!" Ye Li was a little shocked, "Su Zuidie is not dead?"

Mo Xiuyao nodded indifferently, as if he didn't care that his ex-fiancée was not dead. He also didn't care that Han Mingyue, his former friend, was obsessed with his ex-fiancée. In just a moment, countless thoughts and ideas went through Ye Li's mind. After a while, she asked: "The person who wanted Han Mingyue to kidnap me last year was Su Zuidi? She is now in Xiling... and is she related to the Xiling royal family?" Mo Xiuyao looked at Ye Li apologetically and nodded.

Ye Li couldn't help rubbing his brows, while analyzing the information he knew in his mind. Su Zuidie died three months after Mo Xiuyao was seriously injured, but now she is in Xiling and is very likely a member of the Xiling royal family. Han Mingyue and Mo Xiuyao are good friends, but Han Mingyue is infatuated with Su Zuidie. After Su Zuidie passed away, Han Mingyue and Mo Xiuyao broke up, but it was obvious that Han Mingyue felt sorry for Mo Xiuyao, which was to say... Han Mingyue and Su Zuidie did something together that was not good for Mo Xiuyao. However, there should not be any private affair between the two. Judging from Han Mingxi's attitude towards Su Zuidie, Su Zuidie should be using Han Mingyue, "Su... Miss Su passed away, was it Han Mingyue who helped?"

Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a calm smile: "Ah Li is indeed quick-witted."

Ye Li smiled, "It's not hard to guess. To be able to hide the fact that Miss Su is still alive from so many people must have required a lot of power. However, although Old Master Su is highly respected, the Su family has no power in the capital. If you didn't help Miss Su fake her death, then it must be the owner of Tianyi Pavilion who has a good relationship with Miss Su and loves her who can do it. You... shouldn't do such a boring thing?" Judging from his current attitude towards Su Zuidi, he doesn't seem like someone who would easily let his fiancée fake her death and escape the marriage. Mo Xiuyao's face was a little ugly, but he didn't have any anger or resentment, he just didn't want to mention it. Ye Li tilted her head and thought, "In fact, compared to why Miss Su faked her death, I am more curious about why Miss Su went to Xiling after her fake death?" If she was simply unwilling to marry a seriously injured and disabled person like Mo Xiuyao, she could have found a perfect husband in Da Chu with her appearance after her fake death, or simply been with Han Mingyue. Leaving aside certain aspects, Han Mingyue is definitely one of the most perfect husbands in the eyes of women. Judging from Mo Xiuyao's attitude towards Su Zuidie and Han Mingyue over the years, even if the two of them were really together, Mo Xiuyao should not have attacked them for revenge. A lady from a wealthy family who had lived in the capital since childhood, ran thousands of miles to Xiling after her fake death...

"Can you please tell me about Miss Su's current identity?" Ye Li asked curiously.

"Xi Ling Kingdom's concubine, Bai Long."

"The Imperial Concubine?" Ye Li raised her eyebrows. Even if she had no common sense, she still remembered that the title of the Imperial Concubine seemed to be only one word. In this way, Su Zui Die's status in Xiling Country was not low. Looking at Mo Xiu Yao, Ye Li decided not to ask. As long as she knew that between herself and Su Zui Die, Mo Xiu Yao would definitely stand on her side. As for the Imperial Concubine of Xiling who obviously couldn't forget her old feelings for Mo Xiu Yao or was a little unwilling... she should study it herself. Discussing his ex-fiancee with her husband was obviously not a good topic.

Ye Li decided not to say anything, but Mo Xiuyao didn't think so. He said calmly, "The Bai family is one of the four major surnames in Xiling. Most of the empresses and concubines of Xiling Kingdom came from the Bai family. This includes the current Xiling Queen. Bai Long entered the palace seven years ago and was named Rong Fei at that time. She was quite favored by the Xiling Emperor. After the Queen passed away, she was named Qing Rong Gui Fei. If the Xiling Queen had not personally asked the Xiling Emperor to make Hui Gui Fei, who was also from the Bai family, the Queen before her death, she would have been the Xiling Queen now."

Ye Li was silent. In less than ten years, she went from being the fiancée of the second son of the Prince Ding of the Great Chu Palace to the noble concubine of Xiling and almost the empress of Xiling. It must be said that this Miss Su's life is very legendary. Seeing that Mo Xiuyao seemed to know everything, Ye Li hesitated and asked, "Did you know that she was not dead later, or did you know it all along?" Mo Xiuyao's lips sank slightly, and he said, "My injury had not healed yet. When I knew it, Han Mingyue was about to take her out of the capital."

"You didn't do anything?" Ye Li was curious. With Mo Xiuyao's original character, even if he didn't kill Han Mingyue and Su Zuidie immediately, he would not let them leave the capital intact. Or if Mo Xiuyao really loved Su Zuidie, he would not let her leave the capital. Mo Xiuyao glanced at her and said, "I was in a bad mood at the time, and I did intend to kill them. But... Su Lao came later and knelt on the ground to beg me. Su Lao is my mentor. Su Zuidie's father saved my brother's life, and her brother also died in that battle to save me. After calming down, I let them go."

Ye Li nodded silently. If anyone told her that Mo Xiuyao loved Su Zuidie deeply, she would throw him into the water to wash his eyes. This man's voice was as calm as a stranger's. However, could a beauty like Su Zuidie not move Mo Xiuyao? "Have you... liked Su Zuidie?" Mo Xiuyao looked at Ye Li in surprise, smiled and nodded, "Of course I did." Ye Li frowned slightly, ignoring the discomfort in her heart, "Then why now..."

Mo Xiuyao interrupted her and said, "She is my fiancée. We grew up together and she may be my wife in the future. She is beautiful, talented and has a good personality. Why shouldn't I like her? But... she always seems to think that I am not good enough to her. After I was injured, she wanted to commit suicide and leave, but I let her go because of her father and brother. Then we have no relationship anymore, right?"

Ye Li nodded. To sum up what Mo Xiuyao said, Mo Xiuyao once thought that Su Zuidi was a perfect fiancée. The men in Dingguo Palace are always loyal to their wives, and it is not just about love or not. As long as they recognize their wives, they will treat them well. So this is the so-called truth of mutual love that is circulated in the capital. Since Su Zuidi chose to leave in the end, it naturally has nothing to do with Mo Xiuyao. So in the eyes of Mo Xiuyao now, Su Zuidi is just a stranger, and even... now it may be an enemy.

Guangling City itself did not have many things to deal with, but Han Mingxi acted very quickly. On that day, the news that Han Mingyue was expelled from the Han family and the second son of the Han family was replaced as the head of the family spread in Guangling City. Even the people of Guangling City did not know much about Han Mingxi. They only knew that the Han family had such a second son, but they knew nothing about the rest. Now that the head of the Han family has changed, the wealthy businessmen and officials of Guangling City naturally have to pay attention to it. In this seemingly unexpected commotion, Mo Xiuyao, Ye Li and others quietly left Guangling and went to Chujing.

As soon as she returned to the capital, Mo Xiuyao was summoned by the emperor to the palace to discuss matters. Ye Li did not care about how Mo Xiuyao explained her disappearance and appearance in Yonglin City, as she was already entangled by the people in the palace who came to care about her. After finally appeasing the wet nurse and Nanny Lin, she listened to the report of Chief Steward Mo and Nanny Sun on the recent affairs of the Dingguo Palace. Ye Li was just thinking about going to see Qingluan and Qingyu who were still recuperating, when another servant came to report that Lord Ye and Old Madam Ye wanted to see her.

Compared to last year's success, this year, Shangshu Ye was in a dark cloud. At the beginning of the year, the third daughter of Princess Ding disappeared in the palace, and the second daughter of Princess Zhaoyi and the little grandson were burned to death. Less than two months later, the Ye family had not recovered yet, and the fourth son-in-law suddenly rebelled. Although the emperor was not angry with the Ye family, Shangshu Ye's life was not so easy. Sometimes, Shangshu couldn't help but wonder if God was not happy with him and was punishing him like this. Therefore, after hearing the news that Prince Ding and Princess Ding both returned to Beijing, Shangshu Ye didn't care about putting on a fatherly air and waiting for Ye Li to come home to pay respects. He directly brought Old Madam Ye to the door.

Ye Li stepped into the flower hall and looked at Minister Ye and Old Madam Ye, who looked obviously old and haggard. She raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Father, grandmother."

"Li'er, you are finally back safely. I was so worried about you." Old Madam Ye held Ye Li's hand and burst into tears. Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "I am sorry for making you worry. It is Li'er's fault."

Minister Ye looked at his daughter strangely, and always felt that something was not quite right. Although he was reluctant to get along with his daughter since his wife passed away, this did not prevent him from knowing some of Ye Li's circumstances. This third daughter has been quiet and taciturn since she was a child, but like his wife, she seemed to be born with the generosity and elegance of a noble family. But when he saw her this time, Minister Ye noticed that there seemed to be something more between her brows. Even if he just sat quietly, letting Madam Ye hold her hand and smile quietly, Minister Ye clearly felt a sharpness and pressure that he had never felt before. He couldn't help but think of the rumors he had heard before, about how Princess Yu Ding suddenly appeared in Yongzhou and assisted the garrison commanders under General Murong to defend Yonglin. Although not many people knew about this news, as the father-in-law of the emperor, Prince Li, and Prince Ding, Minister Ye naturally had some unknown channels of information. The credibility of the information he got was definitely much more real than the rumors outside. Looking at the gentle woman with a smile on her lips, Minister Ye felt mixed emotions. He had a daughter who was very secretive, but this daughter had kept it a secret from her father, and he used her as a discarded pawn.
