Zhennan Hou Hua Changming: Oh.

The face of the second patriarch of the Xiao family became increasingly gloomy: Hua Changming...do you agree or not?

Zhennan Hou Hua Changming shrugged: What's the use of my consent? We need the emperor's consent.

The second patriarch of the Xiao family's veins bulged: You... don't agree.

Hua Changming, Marquis of Zhennan, said nonchalantly: How many times do I have to say it, how can I, a idle marquis, be qualified to transfer an important town on the border?

The second patriarch of the Xiao family sneered and walked away: Okay, very good.

Zhennan Hou Hua Changming watched with a smile without saying a word.

"Second Uncle..."

In front of the meeting hall, Xiao Xue saw the second head of the Xiao family rushing out angrily, and bowed slightly and saluted.

See your own children.

The expression of the second patriarch of the Xiao family eased a little, but it was obvious that he was still full of anger, so he deliberately ignored Hua Wujue.

"Xue girl, take good care of yourself. If you feel wronged, just come back."

"If anyone dares to treat you badly, Uncle will kill him!"

Amount...

Hua Wujue felt a little embarrassed. This was a roundabout way of scolding me.

However…

The head of the second branch of the Xiao family seems to be quite nice to Xiao Xueer.

Why was Cherrie Hsiao like that in the beginning?

"No, second uncle, Xue'er is doing well here and has not been wronged." Xiao Xue'er waved her hands repeatedly.

"All right."

The head of the second branch of the Xiao family said nothing more and left. He even snorted heavily when passing by Hua Wujue.

Hua Wujue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but it didn't matter.

In this respect, he is very similar to Hua Changming.

"Come in."

Hua Changming's voice came.

This is obviously directed at Hua Wujue and Xiao Xueer.

They entered together.

After coming in, Hua Changming was still drinking tea leisurely, but this time he didn't look at Hua Wujue first, but at Xiao Xueer first.

"Xue'er, are you from my Zhennan Marquis Mansion or the Xiao family?"

Hua Changming asked a puzzling question with a half-smile.

Xiao Xueer was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted:

"Since I have married into the Marquis's Mansion, I am naturally a member of the Marquis's Mansion. As for the Xiao family, they can only be considered my mother's family."

I don't know why, but when Xiao Xueer talked to Hua Wujue, she acted relaxed and casual, but when facing Zhennan Hou Hua Changming, she couldn't do that.

Instead, there is a sense of restraint and tension.

This is not surprising, not only Xiao Xueer, but many people in the Zhennan Marquis Mansion hold Hua Changming in high awe.

Hua Changming nodded with satisfaction, and without saying anything else, he turned his gaze directly to Hua Wujue.

Compared to the vague sternness towards Cherrie Hsiao, this look was extremely gentle.

"Dao'er, why do I have to give you something?"

"I want you to lead my influencers from the Zhennan Marquis' Mansion to Shanhaiguan to retrieve an item for Wei."

Hua Wujue was a little surprised and happened to meet that gentle gaze.

Honey…you are trying to take me away.

Has the situation become so urgent?

Xiao Xueer didn't know the key information, she was just a little nervous and didn't understand why Hua Changming told her such an important thing.

The young marquis of Zhennan Marquisate went to Shanhaiguan...

This…

Like a piece of delicious meat stained with blood,

I'm afraid it will attract a lot of wolves and wolves.

"good."

Hua Wujue nodded in agreement.

He knew that when he was away, a huge storm would begin to rage in the capital.

By the time he returns from Shanhaiguan, everything will probably be settled.

"Xue'er, since you are a member of the Zhennan Marquis' Mansion, you should come along on this trip."

Hua Changming suddenly said.

This…

Xiao Xueer was a little nervous, but feeling the intimidating gaze, she immediately said:

"Okay, it's all up to you."

This time it was Hua Wujue's turn to be surprised. He looked at Xiao Xueer deeply.

If Hsiao Cher stayed in the capital, she would at least become a chess piece with some use.

Hua Changming did not keep Xiao Xueer, but sent her away from the capital just like Hua Wujue.

he…

It seems that he really accepted this daughter-in-law.

It's only been two days, how could Hua Changming make such a decision?

But in the end, only Hua Changming himself knows this.

"Okay, you guys go back."

"Pack up and leave tonight."

Hua Changming smiled slightly, waved his hand, and spoke without hesitation.

Flowers are silent...

There is a curfew in the capital tonight, so Hua Changming has to send him away now even if he has to use some backup plans.

This shows that Hua Changming is probably confused about his future path.

The two left the meeting hall.

At the door, Xiao Xueer looked at Hua Wujue with some resentment:

"I started to regret not committing suicide sooner."

Hua Wujue glanced at her:

"Why?"

Xiao Xueer sighed:

"At least, this way I might as well die by my own hands."

After leaving this nonsensical remark.

Hsiao Cher left.

Hua Wujue's eyes were not surprised. Before leaving, he slightly side-glanced, as if he wanted to take another look at Hua Changming in the hall.

The weather was not good. The clouds that had been lazy about drifting seemed to have a direction and were positioned directly in front of the midday sun. The shadows they cast obscured most of Hua Changming's face, leaving only the satin dress standing in front of the light.

He looked away and left.

Inside the Council Hall…

Everything is quiet...

Hua Changming hid in the darkness, staring closely at Hua Wujue's back. The shadow gradually disappeared, the hot tea beside him gradually became cold, and the clouds gradually moved away.

Even when someone suddenly appeared beside him, he didn't care at all.

"Mr. Hou..."

It's the butler. He came here at some point.

"All arranged..."

The housekeeper had just started talking when Hua Changming interrupted him.

"Is the camellia cake ready?"

The butler was stunned for a moment, then nodded:

"It's all ready, and wrapped in foil to keep it fresh for a long time."

"That's good. The journey is long and Dao'er can't eat this camellia cake whenever he wants."

"Prepare more so Daoer can eat on the way."

Hua Changming seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps mumbling to himself.

The butler listened silently without stopping.

"My Lord, the map of the rotation of the capital, and the map of the construction of the imperial city..."

After Hua Changming stopped talking, the housekeeper continued speaking.

Hua Changming suddenly waved his hands and looked into the distance in a trance. His cold eyes were also covered with a layer of soft light under the light from afar.

"Let's not talk about these things today."

The housekeeper was silent...

Then suddenly it opens:

"My Lord..."

"Aren't you going to see the young marquis?"

Hua Changming was slightly stunned, then laughed at himself:

"I am no longer young, and I cannot afford to let go of my knife-wielding hand."

"If I were still alive..."

"I'll go look at Dao'er again..."

"Dao'er, I'm going to say goodbye to you right here."
