Chapter 610 Xiao Yan Returns
Mr. Zhuge sincerely advised Xiao Yan that he should step aside as he was in the limelight.
Especially since he is the descendant of the King of Yue, this matter might be brought up again.
Xiao Yan said, "This matter cannot be changed, so it's better to face it head-on. So, sir, there's no need to persuade me anymore. I know what's going on."
Things that have to be resolved sooner or later are better to face them early.
Seeing Mr. Zhuge frowning, Xiao Yan said with understanding, "Sir, now that it's just you and me, I'd like to ask, were the words you said to me today directed by the Princess?"
Xiao Yan always knew that compared to the Prince of Yan, Mr. Zhuge was more like the Princess of Yan's man.
Mr. Zhuge did not deny it.
Xiao Yan said calmly, "Thank you for telling me the truth, sir. I will go back to the northwest to pick up my wife and daughter. After returning to the capital and meeting the princess, we can discuss this matter in detail."
He wasn't going to back down.
Mr. Zhuge sighed, "I'm only following orders. I hope General Xiao won't mind. But I must remind you, the princess's scheming and tactics are far beyond the reach of ordinary people, so..."
"Yeah." Xiao Yan nodded.
He also believed that the Princess of Yan would likely interfere in politics in the future.
But Xiao Yan didn't think this was a bad thing.
He believed in the power of women more than anyone else.
As for what Princess Yan wants to arrange, we will have to wait until we meet.
However, Xiao Yan's attitude towards the matter of identity was more resolute than ever before.
This time, he will not give up power easily.
Half a month later, the northwest sky was high and vast.
Lu Qiniang was squatting in the yard, concentrating on tending to her newly sprouted vegetable patches.
Erya and Yunting were talking about something in the corridor.
Xiaoman was holding a small wooden sword and practicing in a very professional manner.
The gate of the courtyard was pushed open with a creaky sound.
Lu Qiniang subconsciously thought that it was Zhang Heyao who came to pick up Xiaoman, and without even looking up, she said, "Brother, wait a minute, I'll finish pulling out these weeds..."
The footsteps were extremely hurried, and came straight towards her with a dusty air.
Lu Qiniang's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, and she looked up in confusion.
Against the light, a tall and straight figure was blocking the door. He was covered in dust, still wearing armor, and his face showed fatigue from a long journey, but his deep eyes were fixed on her at this moment.
It’s Xiao Yan!
Lu Qiniang stared at him blankly.
All the thoughts, worries, grievances, joys... came flooding back at this moment, making her head dizzy and her hands and feet stiff.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yan walked a few steps to Lu Qiniang. Before she could react, his powerful arms had already passed through her armpits and knees.
"Ah!" Lu Qiniang only had time to let out a short cry of surprise before her whole body was suddenly lifted up by a huge force, and her feet were instantly off the ground.
Xiao Yan actually picked her up tightly and carried her sideways.
"Are you crazy?" Lu Qin's mother's face turned red as a monkey's butt. She pushed him, but was reluctant to use too much force. "Put me down, the children are here!"
"Don't let go." Xiao Yan's voice was low and hoarse, with unquestionable strength. He tightened his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood.
The voice came muffled, "Abandoned Mother, I miss you."
That voice contained the exhaustion after unloading all the burdens, the peace of mind after finally returning home after traveling thousands of miles, and the deep and unbreakable longing.
At the door, Erya leaned against the door frame, looking at her parents hugging each other tightly in the yard. A smile appeared on her face and tears welled up in her eyes.
Great, Dad is back.
Yun Ting suddenly leaned close to her ear, lowered his voice, and said with a playful smile: "Tsk, it's really eye-catching. How about I hug you too?"
Erya's touching mood was instantly interrupted. She turned back in shame and annoyance, raised her foot and kicked him on the calf without any hesitation: "Get out!"
"Ouch!" Yun Ting screamed in pain exaggeratedly, hugging his legs and jumping twice on the spot.
Yun Ting's voice was quite loud, and it immediately broke the charming and touching atmosphere in the courtyard.
Lu Qinniang suddenly woke up and realized that her two children and Yun Ting were watching her.
She was so ashamed that she punched Xiao Yan's chest hard: "Put me down! What a shame!"
Xiao Yan also heard the noise, his ears turned slightly red, and then he put her down reluctantly.
As soon as Lu Qinniang's feet touched the ground, she immediately took a half step back, lowered her head to adjust her clothes and hair, her cheeks were as red as if blood was dripping out, and she didn't dare to look at the eyes of the people around her.
I just regret that she dressed casually today. If she knew that Xiao Yan was coming back, she should have dressed up properly.
Xiaoman looked at Xiao Yan with a pout and a wary look in her eyes.
"Dad." Erya shouted.
"Yeah." Xiao Yan looked at her and smiled, but did not look at Xiaoman.
Lu Qin's mother reacted and wanted Xiaoman to call her dad, but she swallowed the words in the end.
——The time has finally come for her to face the problem she has been avoiding.
She whispered in Xiao Yan's ear: "Xiao Man is shy and not familiar with you yet. She will be fine after a few days."
"Yeah, no problem." Xiao Yan said lightly, "This kid is good-looking."
He knew that his son was not close to him.
What should be sour has already been sour.
There was no need to show sadness in front of Lu Qiniang and make her worry.
As long as Xiaoman is fine and Qi Niang is fine, his feelings are actually not that important.
"Mom, I want to go home. I want to go home to find my dad." Xiaoman came over and pulled Lu Qinniang's sleeve. "I can go back by myself. I'm leaving."
Lu Qiniang glanced at Xiao Yan worriedly.
Xiao Yan nodded, "You send him off, I'll change my clothes and wash up."
"Okay, I'll send it off and come back to talk to you." Lu Qiniang said quickly.
Xiao Yan watched the mother and son leave.
"Dad——" Erya called out worriedly.
Seeing this, Yun Ting said, "It's not a big deal. Everyone is safe and sound. This is already a great achievement. Children are naive, but they will grow up and be fine. When I was little, my father beat me, and I even hoped he would be executed!"
Isn't it still not crooked now?
Erya: “…”
Your father didn't beat you to death because your mother only gave birth to you.
"Time reveals a person's true character. Children are easy to coax. They can have many godfathers, but only one biological father." Yun Ting looked at Xiao Yan and said.
Xiao Yan nodded.
Yun Ting was comforting him.
In fact, he thought so too.
Xiao Yan changed his clothes and washed up briefly before coming out.
Lu Qiniang had not returned yet, and Erya angrily told her about Wang Changling's visit.
Xiao Yan didn't say anything for a long time, but his hands were unconsciously clenched under the table.
"Dad, you will definitely be in a high position in the future, and things like this will happen more and more. I know this is not your fault, and your feelings for my mother are unwavering. But my mother can't always face this, right?"
