"...", Duke Liang did not speak, as if he was moved by Wen Xian's words. However, after a moment, he still insisted on his previous opinion: "You, I can't convince you, anyway, I just don't agree!"
Mrs. Liang said that he and Wen Xian were brothers, and Wen Xian was so easy to talk to, so why was he so stubborn? "He's not that old, why is he so difficult to talk to?"
Wen Xian said, "You can try to persuade him slowly. If that doesn't work, we can only use coercive measures. Chen Xin, if we leave, who are you going to let pretend to be us?"
Chen Xin thought Wen Xian was worried about the personnel arrangements, so he patted his chest and assured her, "I will make my own arrangements for this matter, so you don't have to worry."
Wen Xian said that he was still very confident in Chen Xin's ability to do things, but if he really wanted to find someone to take their place, as he said, then it would be like what Old Man Liang said, their lives are lives, but other people's lives are not lives. "I'm not worried about your ability to do things. If you have a candidate, please let us meet and express our gratitude in person, even if it means kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times. Also, I'm not leaving, so you just make arrangements for your family. Those disguised people must also do their best to protect them, so as not to let down the word benevolence and righteousness."
Before Chen Xin could react, Duke Liang left angrily. Madam Liang was about to chase him, but after hearing Wen Xian's words, she could no longer suppress her anger. Although her upbringing told her to always be elegant and decent, if she didn't shout loudly, she would almost feel that she was being unreasonable: "Wen Xian, you were just saying it nicely, why did you change your mind so suddenly!"
Wen Xian was frightened by Madam Liang's yell and immediately became serious. He explained solemnly, "I'm the only one left in the Marquis' Mansion. With me, the Wen family can still be considered extinct. Fortunately, there are still a few distant relatives. My son died on the battlefield, and his father was definitely not afraid of death. I have no ties in my life and in my future, unlike your husband."
Mrs. Liang wondered if this man was confused by the incident with the living dead last night. His words were becoming increasingly strange. "What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't we your family? Don't forget, you're Shuang'er's godfather!"
Wen Xian was stunned for a moment, then he threw his head back and laughed: "Hahaha, with what you said, I will die without regrets. We have known each other for so many years, you should know my temper. When I get stubborn, even nine oxen can't pull me back."
After saying that, Wen Xian stretched and left. He wanted to help with the mess here, but he was powerless. After all, he was an elderly man, so it was better to leave these things to Chen Xin. Seeing these two people leave like a boss, Mrs. Liang sat down on the porch like a deflated ball: "Why are they all like this!"
Considering the current situation in the capital and the attitudes of Duke Liang and Wen Xian, Chen Xin couldn't help but feel anxious: "Alas, time is running out. I must send you away the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Madam Liang also asked, "Is Xihe's current location safe? From her appearance, it seems her sudden appearance at the Marquis' Mansion is no accident. I think she is here to seek help from us."
Chen Xin assured him, "This mother can rest assured. This place is absolutely safe. She came here to seek help. On the one hand, she hopes we can help her buy herbs and dry food, and on the other hand, she also wants to show her face in front of Shu Yi in person and report that she is safe."
Mrs. Liang knew she was no longer the same person she was in her youth, when she could ignore everything. But now, after so many years, she knew how important family was to a person. She no longer had the courage to accept losing anyone. She really couldn't. "Well, I'll go to the kitchen and see. Once everyone is well, you can go and invite the guests to dinner. I'm powerless to help you with your affairs now."
Chen Xin smiled and said, "Being able to eat the soup made by mother every day is the greatest help she has given us."
Forget about the other things, it's just Chen Xin's mouth, which is so sweet that sometimes I even feel like I really have a son: "You are so sweet-mouthed, this son-in-law is really not in vain."
Seeing that Madam Liang's expression had finally eased a bit, Chen Xin added, "As for Father, Mother will also help persuade him. If that doesn't work, I hope Mother won't mind us taking coercive measures. I just hope that our family can be together in peace. Chen Xin's previous family only consisted of Queen Wang Zhen and Yan Zhou and his brothers. Now that we finally have a complete family, I will definitely protect you well."
Madam Liang nodded slightly. If she couldn't even handle the problems of Duke Liang and Wen Xian, how could she manage this huge Duke's Mansion in the future? "Child, we all think the same thing. It's just that your father sometimes can't think straight. Don't worry about his affairs. Leave them to me. Miss Xihe should still be waiting to discuss things with you. You can go over first."
"yes."
After finishing the arrangements in the yard, Chen Xin hurriedly went to Liang Shuyi's side. Looking at the empty soup bowl on the table, Chen Xin hurriedly slowed down his steps. Seeing that Liang Shuyi was sleeping soundly, he carefully retreated to the guest room.
When Chen Xin found Xihe, she was standing in the courtyard, admiring the lotus flowers that were unique to the Duke of Liang's mansion. After a light cough to signal Xihe back to her senses, Chen Xin said without further ado, "Miss Xihe, just tell me what you need, and I'll get it for you right away."
Seeing Chen Xin's straightforward words, Xihe quickly said, "I originally wanted to come and seek refuge with you, but now it seems that my cave is safer. Here's the list of herbs. As for dry food, I only need oil and salt. I have other ways to get the rest."
Chen Xin glanced at the list of herbs Xihe handed over and nodded, "Okay, I'll gather all the herbs as soon as possible. When the time comes, I'll have to trouble Miss Xihe to take my family into hiding first."
Xihe said with a smile, "I can't hide for too long. After everything is ready, I plan to go to Qingliang Valley."
Xihe's subsequent plan coincided with Shen Xin's idea. No matter how safe their secret base outside the capital was now, when Xiahou Qing completely erupted, this place would still be within the capital's sphere of influence.
