As soon as Qi He finished speaking, Xiao Yan's expression changed immediately.
His hands were already clenched into fists uncontrollably, his heart was beating violently again and again. He asked Qi He in a daze, "Is everything you said true? Yaoyao... is she really your cousin?"
Qi He was stunned to see Xiao Yan's reaction so big.
"Yes, she is indeed my cousin, and my father specifically asked me to come here so that I can explain the situation to you and bring her back to reunite with my family.
A Yan, my father is sure that given the friendship between our two families over the years, you will let them go without saying anything.
Besides, the work that Chen Yao does in your house is just that of an ordinary servant, right? There is always someone else who can take her place. My father thought that my cousin had suffered so much for so many years, and it was time for it to end.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's face turned as pale as paper.
If letting Chen Yao go back was General Zhongwu's intention...
Then he...will definitely be difficult to stop...
And... there is no position to stop it...
Because he knew very well in his heart that, first of all, General Zhongwu had done him a great favor.
Back then, when he was still an ignorant and impulsive soldier, he would often get himself covered in bruises because he was not familiar with the techniques and methods of dodging attacks.
Later, it was General Zhongwu who discovered his predicament and lent a helping hand, allowing him to advance steadily step by step until he was able to independently support a small piece of land.
Secondly, even if we ignore the past favors, Chen Yao is still their family. It is reasonable for her to want to reunite as a family, and he has no room to stop it.
After figuring this out, he closed his eyes in pain, his voice trembling slightly: "Are you going to take her back today?"
Qi He nodded and said, "You know my father's temper. It's impossible for me not to complete what he personally instructed me to do."
There was silence in the air for a few moments, and both of them stopped talking.
Then, Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes, as if he was thinking of something, stood up, and hurried to Qi He's side with the help of a cane.
Qi He: ???
What does Xiao Yan want to do?
Now, whenever he saw the crutch, he would subconsciously tense up, fearing that Xiao Yan would swing him in the next second.
Then--
The moment he saw Xiao Yan stop and pick up his crutches, his heart couldn't help but rise.
???
Wouldn't Xiao Yan still want to beat him up after knowing that he is his future brother-in-law?
Qi He only felt his body tremble.
Who knew——
The actual situation was completely different from what he expected.
At this moment——
Xiao Yan, who had always been upright and strong, now had a look of dejection and regret on his face.
He pursed his lips tightly, handed the crutch in his hand to him, and said to him seriously and seriously: "Brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have hit you before. Now, use this to hit me back."
Qi He:!!!
Qi He: ???
Qi He: ...
After a moment, he suddenly couldn't help but burst into a gloating laugh.
"Why are you calling me brother so quickly?"
"Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, I never thought you would be so flexible and resilient one day."
"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! I really want to draw you like this and frame it as a souvenir."
Someone's previous tough and impolite attitude seemed to be still vivid in his mind. Even Qi He himself did not expect that Xiao Yan would slap himself in the face so quickly.
It's really hard to watch...
Xiao Yan remained calm in the face of Qi He's teasing. He continued to hand over the crutch and looked at Qi He with a sharp gaze.
Qi He tried hard to suppress his laughter and tried to calm himself down.
But for him, seeing Xiao Yan in this state was really too strange, and he couldn't help laughing.
After a while, he finally coughed lightly, stopped laughing, and said to Xiao Yan: "A Yan, based on your attitude of actively admitting your mistakes now, I promise that I will not set a trap for you in front of my father."
Xiao Yan's lips moved slightly and he said, "Thank you."
Qi He shook his head helplessly and laughed, then sighed softly: "A Yan, I still have to remind you in advance that my father is not as easy to talk to as I am."
Xiao Yan thought of General Zhongwu's usual style, nodded in understanding, and said softly, "I understand."
Qi He stood up, silently pushed Xiao Yan's crutches back, and said, "We are brothers. I thought you were crazy when you beat me up before. I am magnanimous and will let bygones be bygones. That's it."
Xiao Yan: ...
Very good, Qihe can talk.
However, when Xiao Yan now recalls the misunderstanding and impulsiveness at that time, he still feels regretful.
If I could do it again...
Oh, never mind.
No matter what, Yaoyao will be leaving the general's mansion soon.
Moreover, when we meet again in the future, she will no longer be known as Nanny Chen, but only as the cousin of General Zhongwu's mansion.
He would also erase all traces she had left in the mansion and allow her to reappear in front of everyone in glory.
Besides, doesn’t the fact that General Zhongwu specially asked Qi He to come here also indicate this meaning?
Xiao Yan would cooperate in all that was necessary.
However, his mood at this moment was still very complicated. He was reluctant to let Chen Yao go, but he couldn't help but feel happy that she could be reunited with her family.
Qi He saw Xiao Yan's thoughtful look, patted his shoulder sympathetically, and said:
"The road ahead is long, Brother Yan. From now on, it all depends on your own efforts. If you want to marry my cousin, I'm afraid you'll have to overcome many hurdles. First, my grandfather, then my father, and then there's me, your eldest brother-in-law."
"But, from the looks of it, you've already passed half of my level. If you hadn't hit me back then, you should have been able to pass the entire level now."
Xiao Yan: ...
What about the magnanimity and forgiveness you just promised?
After Qi He finished speaking, he walked over with a smile and opened the door of Xiao Yan's room. Then he said to Chen An who had been waiting, "Go and ask Chen Yao to come over here."
Hearing this, Chen An quickly glanced at Xiao Yan, and after getting his nod, he agreed and turned to leave.
After Qi He finished speaking, he slowly walked back, raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiao Yan, saying, "You look disheveled and sleepy. It doesn't seem appropriate for a farewell scene, does it?"
Xiao Yan: ...
However, when Shen Yao followed Chen An to Qinglin Courtyard, Xiao Yan had already finished washing up and had returned to his usual well-dressed appearance.
