"What you said is wrong, young master. This is just what a servant should do." Qing Yuan knelt on one knee in front of Xu Tianze, his eyes a little moist.
"Get up quickly. Why should we kneel down when we have such a close relationship?" Xu Tianze stepped forward and helped Qingyuan up.
The day before his father and brother entered the palace, Qingyuan was taken away from him. Later, when the family was in trouble, he didn't care about Qingyuan's whereabouts and thought that Qingyuan had followed his father and brother.
But he didn't expect that the message sent by Xuedie a few days ago told him that Qingyuan was still alive, but he had disguised himself and was hiding in the Marquis' Mansion.
Thinking that his father and brother might have told Qingyuan something, and wanting to avoid Long Musi and Song Yu directly, he moved directly from the Princess's Mansion to the Nanhou Mansion.
One was to conceal his true intentions, making it seem as if he came to the Marquis' Mansion to test something, or that the next target of revenge would be the Nan Marquis' Mansion. In fact, he mainly came to meet Qingyuan.
After all, Qingyuan had been in the Marquis' Mansion for so long without being discovered. I think everything that needed to be investigated had been investigated thoroughly. What else was there for him to investigate again?
The so-called investigation was just to give the fox Nan Xunjie an illusion, so that Qingyuan could continue to ambush here.
"Young Master, the Master and the Eldest and Second Young Masters ordered me to stay here to wait for you to return and to give you this letter." Qing Yuan wiped his tears and took out a letter from his arms.
There were already some water marks on the letter. I guess it was because Qingyuan cried over it countless times late at night.
Qingyuan looked at the letter and saw that although it was sealed intact, the words on the surface were blurred by the tears, and her face couldn't help but blush.
He was about to confess to Xu Tianze when he saw Xu Tianze opening the envelope and reading it as if nothing had happened. He had no choice but to open his mouth and swallow the words.
Xu Tianze looked at the contents of the letter without saying a word, but his hands kept tightening, causing wrinkles on the paper.
My son Tianze:
I believe that when you received this letter, you should have understood the whole story, and perhaps you are still blaming your father and brother for their cruelty?
But Ze'er, you have to know that there is a country before there is a family. At the beginning of the implementation of the plan, His Majesty actually repeatedly asked your father, do you really want to sacrifice the lives of everyone in the Xu family?
As a father, I also tossed and turned a lot, but finally decided to act according to the plan. I have always taught you to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Now it is time for your father to set an example. How can I not do it?
What the people respect and Your Majesty trusts has never been the Xu family, nor me, Xu Li, but the Xu family's unwavering loyalty and enthusiasm.
I hope my son can understand his painstaking efforts.
Father: Xu Li
"It sounds very righteous. Since you are working for His Majesty, why would your end be so miserable?" Xu Tianze sneered, folded the letter in his hand and put it directly into his arms.
Perhaps the father's intention was good, but did he foresee the suffering his son would endure in this disaster?
Or do you know that your son will be humiliated?
"Young Master?" Qing Yuan looked at his young master worriedly. He had been lurking in Nan Hou Mansion, but he could always hear some news from outside.
Just what he heard was enough to make him feel sad for his young master, not to mention what he didn't know.
"Ayuan, do you have any other tasks in this Nanhou Mansion besides keeping this letter?" Xu Tianze suppressed his hidden hatred and asked Qingyuan in a soft voice.
After all, it doesn't matter whether the content of this letter is kept by His Majesty or by the Duke of Zhenguo. Just based on this high-sounding content, I believe that if Emperor Gan saw it, he would praise the Xu family for their loyalty in his heart.
Under such circumstances, it is indeed a bit strange to let Qingyuan hide in Nanhou Mansion for protection.
"Why would you ask that, Master?" Qing Yuan's eyes were a little confused, but he thought about it carefully, then shook his head, "No, the Master only told me to wait here, Master, and then give the letter to His Highness."
"Did they ask you to investigate the Nan family?" Xu Tianze asked another question unwillingly.
Qingyuan still shook his head, indicating that there were no other arrangements. The suspicion in Xu Tianze's eyes became even stronger, but he still nodded and instructed Qingyuan.
"After that, you can just stay hidden in Nan Mansion as usual and wait for follow-up arrangements." Xu Tianze patted Qingyuan's shoulder, indicating that he had nothing to say.
Qing Yuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to his young master again. He also knew that the young master was unable to control many things nowadays, so he naturally would not say much. He just had to continue to obey the young master's arrangements.
When Xu Tianze saw Qingyuan leaving, his eyes became serious and a thoughtful look appeared on his face. Qingyuan's abilities were more than that, and his father knew it.
After all, Qingyuan was personally selected by his father. Although he is not a master of both civil and military affairs, his strategy is incomparable to ordinary people. He doesn't believe that he just kept a letter with some meaningless words.
But now he has no clear information to find out from Qingyuan, so he can only wait and meet more old friends in the future to sort out the information.
After Xu Tianze was treated to good food and drink for a few days in Nan Hou's Mansion, he was called up by Song Yu and Long Muse again. He looked at the servant in front of him with a headache on his face.
"You said that the Third Prince and Prince Song are in the front hall, waiting to see me?" Xu Tianze pointed at himself with a look of despair on his face.
Seeing the servant nodded, Xu Tianze collapsed directly on the bed and covered his head with the quilt: "If you don't go, just say I'm not here."
He had just enjoyed a few days of good life when someone bothered him again, which really made him annoyed to death.
"Master Xu, the Marquis said that if Master Xu doesn't go, he will bring His Highness and the Crown Prince here directly." The servant said with a smile as he relayed his master's words.
There was a hint of disdain in his eyes. If it weren't for the kindness of his Lord Marquis, considering the Xu family's current empty state, would Xu Tianze be worthy of being fed and well-fed in their mansion?
"Oh, then just let the Marquis bring him over." Xu Tianze heard the servant's disdain, but he didn't care. He was just a small character who couldn't rank, so he didn't care much.
The servant was choked by Xu Tianze and didn't know what to say. He just bowed with a dark face and left. Anyway, his mission had been completed, so he just had to go back and report to the Marquis.
The Marquis will take care of this man, so why should he be angry with him?
When Xu Tianze heard the person walking away, he jumped up immediately. He first opened the crack of the door to see that there was no one outside, and then tiptoed out.
He was not stupid, so how could he just sit there and wait to be tortured? He would just run away and come back at night. As for how Lord Nan dealt with the two of them, that had nothing to do with him.
Just as he closed his door and was about to slip away from the back door of the mansion, he heard someone calling him from behind, which scared him so much that he shuddered.
"Xu Tianze! What are you doing?" Nan Xueyan looked at Xu Tianze with confusion and disdain on her face.
After all, he is not the proud son of the Xu family. Looking at his two moves, he really has a strong tendency to steal. I think he has picked up a lot of bad habits after leaving the capital.
