The two of them stood back to back, one standing and the other sitting, neither of them thinking of looking back.
"Although I think the Xu family's affairs are rather strange, I really don't know who is behind the scenes." Nan Xunjie's eyes kept flashing with a gleam.
Before the Xu family was framed, the group did indeed secretly contact him, and he just took the benefits, but did not do what the group said.
Because the Jiang family was already at the forefront at that time, and he also noticed the various forces behind the scenes, he simply chose to protect himself.
The sour words in the court were just to make himself appear more sociable, but in reality he did nothing at all.
But even so, he was still tricked by that group of people, because the Jiang family only found three clues in total, one of which was from his Nan family.
This is how the scene happened, where Xu Tianze returned to Shangjing City to question Nan Xueyan and even wanted to take action directly. Nan Xunjie finally found out about all these uses of his power.
But he just couldn't understand how Xu Tianze knew that they were not the real people behind the scenes. After all, neither he nor the other two clues had revealed anything at all.
"I only know that some of this group of forces are already serving as officials in the court, and some are involved in the harem. There are no more." Nan Xunjie finally told Xu Tianze everything he knew in order to save Nan Xueyan.
"My Lord, Nan Xueyan's black hair accompanying the ancient Buddha is the best way out." Xu Tianze came here in the name of testing, but he didn't get any useful information.
But when he thought of the little girl Nan Xueyan, he softened his heart a little and his tone became gentle.
Nan Xueyan has already offended the Crown Prince and Long Musi, bringing disgrace to the royal family. It is not easy for her to save her life, not to mention that Nan Xunjie has also fallen.
Cutting her hair and becoming a nun is also a way to save her life. When the time comes, Emperor Gan will take his own face into consideration and directly protect Nan Xueyan when Nan Xunjie leaves Shangjing City.
"It seems that this is the only way in the future." Nan Xunjie sighed and stood up, then paused.
Then he took a step back and bowed to Xu Tianze's back, "Yan'er will be under the care of Master Xu."
"My Lord, you are a good father." Xu Tianze felt Nan Xunjie's action, but he did not dodge. Instead, he accepted the salute calmly.
Because he knew that if he didn't accept this gift, Nan Xunjie might not trust him, not to mention the little girl behind the rockery.
After receiving the greeting, Xu Tianze left straight away. He caught a glimpse of the corner of clothes in the corner not far away, but ignored it.
Now, he no longer wants to see him again, and believes that Song Zhenjiang has already told this person the so-called truth.
Nan Xunjie maintained the posture of saluting until Xu Tianze's back disappeared, then he stood up and sat on the stone seat again, pounding his aching waist from time to time.
"Father~" Nan Xueyan walked out from behind the rockery, her voice choked with sobs, "It's my unfilial daughter who has brought trouble upon you."
As she spoke, Nan Xueyan knelt in front of Nan Xunjie, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and sobbing uncontrollably.
Only now did she understand what her father meant when he said, "There are no blood relatives in the royal family, so don't take it seriously." She never expected that her cousin, the prince who doted on her so much in the past, would just give up on the Nan family like that.
It was because she was too arrogant and unreasonable that she brought such a terrible disaster to the Nan family.
"Get up, Yan'er. Now that things have come to this, we should look forward to the future." Nan Xunjie's eyes were a little moist. He felt particularly distressed when he noticed the purple marks on his daughter's neck.
Ultimately, it was his responsibility as a father that his Yan'er ended up in such trouble. If he had been stricter, he wouldn't have let Yan'er go down this path.
Yan'er has been trying to commit suicide these days. If his personal maid hadn't discovered it quickly, he would probably have died before her.
"Father, is there really no other way?" Nan Xueyan was helped up by her father and threw herself directly into his arms.
There was deep sadness and regret in her eyes. If she had known the result would be like this, she would rather marry Long Musi and become a living widow.
Finally, he had to unnecessarily implicate his father, who was already in his fifties, and force him to leave the capital, never to see him again.
"This is already the best solution. Fortunately, Xu Tianze knows that our Nan family did not take action against the Xu family. I think he will take better care of you. Your father will not be worried anymore." Nan Xunjie patted his daughter's back comfortingly.
Nan Xueyan buried her head in her clothes and didn't say anything, but just sobbed. She knew that her father's words were a warning to her not to annoy Xu Tianze again.
Xu Tianze was just a knife of Emperor Gan, and he didn't really take any ruthless action against the Nan family, otherwise she would have no way to survive.
She was told not to hate him, but how could she not hate him? If it weren't for Xu Tianze, how could she know Long Musi's feelings and naturally marry into the Third Prince's mansion happily.
If Xu Tianze had not wanted to be an imperial examination inspector, which affected the interests of the Nan family, his father would not have wanted to take back the power and stand up for her, and there would not have been the current outcome.
So Nan Xueyan was resentful. She hated Xu Tianze for telling the truth, hated Xu Tianze for scheming against her, and also hated Xu Tianze for competing with the Nan family for profit.
Now that the Nan family has been defeated, he is kind enough to express his magnanimity, but it depends on whether Nan Xueyan will appreciate it.
But now that her father was by her side, and looking at the gray hair on his temples, Nan Xueyan finally didn't say anything extreme, so as not to irritate her father and make him feel uneasy.
"Daughter understands. Don't worry, father. I have grown up." Nan Xueyan hugged her father and suppressed the restlessness in her heart.
Perhaps she couldn't enjoy the warmth of this hug for much longer, so she was particularly attached to it.
Nan Xunjie shook his head when he saw his daughter like this. No one knows a daughter better than her father. How could he not know what his daughter is thinking?
So he still had to make preparations for the next move. Even if Xu Tianze appeared disdainful on the surface, he would surely consider that person's face.
In this way, even if his daughter causes some trouble later, Xu Tianze should be able to tolerate it.
"Yan'er, there is a servant in the mansion named Qingyuan. When your father leaves Beijing, you will take him to the Zhenguo Mansion and hand him over to the old Zhenguo Duke personally." Nan Xunjie stroked his daughter's furry head, with loving eyes.
He and his deceased wife only have this one daughter in his life, and they had her in their old age. Even if he is gone, he must make arrangements for her future.
"There are two letters in the secret compartment of my father's study. Give the upper one to the old Duke Zhenguo, and keep the lower one for yourself. If you encounter a crisis, send someone to give it to the eldest princess." Nan Xunjie explained the matter slowly, and his gentle and old tone sounded as if he was explaining his last wishes.
"Father, you..."
