Although Nan Xunjie was unhappy with the actions of the young boy Xu Tianze and even wanted to take Xu Tianze's life right now, it did not mean that he did not appreciate this kid.
When Xu Li was still alive and the Xu family still existed, these people all looked at Xu Li as a joke. He gave birth to three sons, the first two of whom were extremely talented, but the last one was a complete playboy.
Now it seems that Xu Li did it on purpose. Xu Tianze is worthy of being Xu Li's offspring. He was able to stand up from the blow of his family's demise, and with the help of the power of the third prince and the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion, he cleared the name of the Xu family.
If his daughter Xueyan could also do this, he would be able to let his daughter marry the third prince with peace of mind.
But the third prince's situation is so similar to that of the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. With Xu Tianze's existence, his daughter will sooner or later become the next Jiang Xue.
"Xu Tianze, there are no outsiders in this mansion. What are you here for today?" Nan Xunjie turned his head and turned to Xu Tianze. The young man from the Xu family cannot be underestimated nowadays.
Instead of playing tricks on me, it's better to ask directly. Both parties will feel relieved when they tell the truth.
"Oh? Uncle, are you so sure that there are no spies from other families in your house?" Xu Tianze looked at Nan Xunjie with interest and retracted his previous cynicism.
He actually came here just to find out how much the Nan family knew about the truth of his father's death and what position they were in.
But looking at Nan Xunjie's expression, he seemed to be very confident in his own defense. Just from the information he had received, he knew that there were spies from Long Musi, Song Yu and Xue Die in this mansion.
"You don't need to test me here. I know my mansion very well." Nan Xunjie snorted coldly. The main reason he did this was to spread the news so that others would not come up to inquire in person.
"Uncle, you're such a fool. My nephew is just coming here to stay for a few days. I just told you that at the door." Xu Tianze shook his head, feeling hurt by Nan Xunjie's distrust of him.
"You're talking nonsense!" Nan Xueyan, standing aside, couldn't stand Xu Tianze's expression anymore and retorted directly, "The last time you saw me, you said you wanted my Nan family to pay for their blood debt with blood!"
As soon as Nan Xueyan said this, Nan Xunjie's eyes were like knives, directly scraping Xu Tianze's body. If Xu Tianze really thought so, then he must have known some of the Nan family's tricks.
If he continued to unravel the mystery and found out more, it would not only be the Nan family that would be implicated, but even the crown prince might be brought down. At this moment, the murderous intent in his heart had reached its peak.
He even made a secret gesture, and the assassins in the dark were ready, waiting to rush directly towards Xu Tianze.
For a moment, the chirping of cicadas stopped and the atmosphere became solemn. Even the naive Nan Xueyan felt that something was wrong.
On the contrary, Xu Tianze has been in a relaxed state. "Last time is last time, this time is this time. You know, my Xu family has been cleared of all charges, and the Jiang family has been directly overthrown. What blood debt is there to pay with blood?"
"I think uncle has heard about my nephew's recent affairs. To be honest, I just came here to get some peace and quiet."
The first sentence was said to the silly girl Nan Xueyan, and the second sentence was said to Nan Xunjie. It seemed that Xu Tianze had taken everything into consideration, but in fact, both sentences were prepared for Nan Xunjie.
Whether Nan Xunjie wanted to believe it or not, he had to believe that this was Xu Tianze's original intention. After all, if Xu Tianze was really killed in the mansion, the emperor would have a reason to directly remove the Nan family.
The Nan family already has a queen, and now the crown prince is also from the Nan family. The crown prince is now quite powerful, otherwise he would not have betrothed his daughter to the third prince to split some of the crown prince's power.
In fact, it was just a wake-up call and a warning to the Nan family.
As for what Xu Tianze meant by seeking quiet retreat, Nan Xunjie naturally knew what he meant, and nodded in agreement: "In that case, my nephew will just stay at home with me."
Once someone leaves his house, whether they live or die will have nothing to do with Nan Xunjie.
"Then I'd rather obey than be disrespectful." Xu Tianze saluted with some sincerity this time and followed the servant away.
Nan Xunjie looked at Xu Tianze's back, his brows furrowed into a shape of a "川" (river character). If he wanted to hide away from the crowd, it wouldn't be his turn to go to the Marquis' Mansion to do so. There were many people in the capital who wanted to curry favor with him, Xu Tianze.
However, Nan Xunjie couldn't figure out Xu Tianze's real purpose, so he had to instruct his servants to be careful and pay attention to Xu Tianze's movements at all times so as not to cause any more trouble.
"Father, you actually let this man live directly in the house?" Nan Xueyan looked at her father with dissatisfaction, her mouth hanging so high that a teapot could be hung on it.
You have to know that Xu Tianze's actions and subsequent hooliganism were enough for his father to kick him out of the Marquis' Mansion.
"What excuse do you want to use to make him leave?" Nan Xunjie looked at his daughter helplessly, his eyes still doting. "Don't forget that Xu Tianze is now the target of many court officials' efforts."
Nan Xunjie knocked his daughter's head. If the Xu family was still the wronged Xu family, everyone would avoid them, but the Xu family was proven innocent.
Xu Li's former students and old friends would have to burden the Xu family again. After all, Xu Li was corrupt and accepted bribes at that time, and they could be said to be disdainful of associating with corrupt officials.
But the Xu family has now made a clear decision. Whether out of guilt or to avoid being stabbed in the back, this group of noble scholars must stand behind Xu Tianze.
When Nan Xueyan heard what her father said, she rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, but she didn't say anything else. She really didn't understand state affairs, but that didn't mean she would drag down the family.
Just like my father said, everyone else is vying to win over Xu Tianze, so how could my cousin, the prince, remain indifferent?
"Xue'er understands. If you can't beat him, just try to avoid him." Nan Xueyan nodded, bowed to her father, and turned to leave.
Nan Xunjie didn't say anything when he saw this. After all, he would be surprised if his daughter didn't have any temper at all. Fortunately, his daughter was polite.
It’s just that Nan Xunjie somewhat over-glorified the apple of his eye. When he faced all kinds of troubles caused by Nan Xueyan later, he wanted to slap his present self in the face when he thought about it.
Xu Tianze followed the servant who led him into the guest room, and smiled as he watched the servant salute him. His eyes were a little wet along the way, but after all, it was not his territory, so he had to hide his feelings.
Now that I was in the house and saw that there was no one around, my eyes became even more moist.
"Ayuan, you have suffered." Xu Tianze's voice was a little choked, but he still forced himself to calm down.
