Chapter 208: Aristocratic Family Summoner x Demon Girl 19
Xiao Hechuan knew what she meant by asking this question. Even if he didn't take the strangers' gossip to heart, his wife might be unhappy and worried about him after hearing it.
The man shook his head, a smile on his lips. "They are telling the truth. I have nothing to be unhappy about."
"Besides, it has nothing to do with me now."
From the moment he left the Xiao family, Xiao Hechuan had a clear vision of the future.
Now he doesn't care about what others say.
Liuyin carefully observed his expression and found that he was indeed not unhappy, so she felt relieved.
In these days, the competitions among several major families have long passed.
The Xiao family has not made much progress, but it has not fallen behind either, and is still in a mediocre position.
Among the five major families in Xuanwu Continent, the Xiao family ranks third. It has been in this position since Xiao Yuncheng took charge of the Xiao family.
The competition among aristocratic families tests the strength of young people even more. Xiao Yuncheng initially thought that his son would be able to play this time.
The Japanese also paid more attention to Xiao Hechuan's chain training, and the other people in the clan all practiced chain together.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Hechuan's summoning failed this time, and the previous Xiao An was also useless, so he turned to choose other people in the clan.
The result was as expected. It was not very outstanding in the competition, but it still remained in the middle.
Xiao Yuncheng was not very happy about this outcome, but he could do nothing about it.
After many days, he finally remembered his son. How could he not come back for so long?
Was it something that stopped him, or was he simply unwilling to come back?
Xiao Yuncheng frowned slightly, feeling somewhat confused, not quite understanding what his son was thinking.
"Send someone to check on the lady. If he is there, ask him to come back." Xiao Yuncheng finally compromised and gave instructions to the servants around him.
If his son wanted to leave, the only thing he could think of was that his son would go to his mother.
Come to think of it, they haven't seen each other for a long time.
Hechuan really looked like his mother. Even his back as he left was so determined. Xiao Yuncheng was a little worried that he would be as stubborn as his mother.
"Yes." The attendant replied in a low voice.
The atmosphere in the Xiao family has been a little strange recently, and even he, who is not very sensitive to the world, has noticed it.
The head of the family has been in a bad mood recently. I think he is still a little worried about the young master.
——
Xiao Hechuan's mother is from the Qiu family, a reclusive family on the Xuanwu Continent, but they will not stop people in the family from falling in love with outsiders.
After Qiuyun got married, she came back alone a few days later, and no one here asked about her past.
All I know is that she has been depressed since she came back and often needs to take medicine. The area around her home is almost filled with the bitter smell of medicine.
It was only before her death that they learned that she had a son and asked them to send a letter to him for her.
The elders of the tribe were in charge of this matter, and they didn't look surprised when they learned that two outsiders had come to look for someone.
He would be surprised if no one came to see Qiuyun.
"Are you looking for Qiuyun?" the aging old man asked slowly, leaning on a cane.
He first looked at Xiao Hechuan's face with a serious look, and could vaguely find similarities between his face and Qiu Yun.
Then his eyes fell on Liuyin beside him, and his gaze quickly swept across the two people's holding hands and Liuyin's slightly bulging belly.
"Yes, she is my mother. Do you know where she lives?" Xiao Hechuan nodded and glanced at Liuyin sideways.
"She's dead. She died a few days ago."
"How is that possible? She was just..." sending me a letter.
Xiao Hechuan's words suddenly stopped, and he couldn't say the words that were about to come out.
"I was the one who sent you the letters before. Qiuyun asked me not to tell you this news before she died."
"She also said that if you want to stay here, she will let you live in the place where she brought you."
