Chapter 1728: Dreaming of the poison God (1)
“Follow me!”
Xu Qi ‘an did not notice the change in her sister’s emotions. Even if she did, she would not take it to heart.
He led Xu yuanshuang and Xu yuanhuai through the Xu family’s front gate, through the front yard and the corridor, and straight to the backyard where the family lived.
In the spacious inner hall, other than Xu Pingzhi, who was on duty, the entire family was present.
Xu Erlang was supposed to be on duty at the Hanlin Academy, but because Xu Qi ‘an had said yesterday that he would bring his younger brother and sister back to the manor this morning, he asked for leave and stayed at home to meet his cousins.
His aunt and his birth mother sat in the two seats of honor.
...Xu niannian, Xu lingyue, and mu nanzhi were sitting on the guest seat beside her aunt.
The guest seat of his birth mother, Ji baiqing, was empty. No one had taken a seat.
Seeing Xu Qi ‘an coming in with the siblings from the main branch, the aunt pursed her lips and tried not to roll her eyes.
She had only allowed these two brats to enter the manor for the sake of her nephew and sister-in-law.
Ever since Xu lingyue had fanned the flames last time, her aunt had a lot of opinions about Xu yuanhuai and Xu yuanshuang.
Xu niannian and Xu lingyue were scheming, and their faces were expressionless.
“Mother!”
Xu yuanshuang was a little excited to see her mother.
Xu yuanhuai’s tense expression relaxed a little.
Ji baiqing’s eyes reddened as she saw her children finally reunited. She revealed a smile that was a mixture of bitterness and joy.
“I’m here to meet your aunt.”
She had always treated herself as a ” guest ” and her aunt as the matriarch of the Xu family. She had a good sense of propriety and would not make people feel disgusted, but she would not leave any gossip.
Of course, her aunt did not understand these small movements. She just instinctively felt that her sister-in-law was still as gentle and considerate as before, and they got along like a spring breeze.
“Yuan Shuang greets aunt!”
Xu yuanshuang greeted him obediently, a smile blooming on her cold and beautiful face.
“Greetings, Auntie.”
Xu yuanhuai’s greeting seemed stiff.
“En!”
The aunt nodded slightly and responded indifferently.
She had wanted to give her a few more words of warning, but her heart softened when she saw her sister-in-law’s teary face.
Ji baiqing immediately said, ”
“From now on, you can live in the mansion. Your big brother has already arranged a place for you to live. Mother will take you there.”
Xu Erlang frowned and turned to look at Xu lingyue.
Xu lingyue stood up with a smile and greeted Xu yuanshuang as she said, ”
“There’s no need to trouble aunty. Let lingyue do these small things for you.”
As she spoke, Xu lingyue had already taken Xu yuanshuang’s hand and smiled affectionately.
“Sister Yuan Shuang, I’ve heard so much about you. Now that I’ve met you, you are indeed extraordinary. There’s also little brother Yuan Huai. He’s a fine-looking man, and as big brother said, he’s extremely talented.”
Xu niannian shook his head and laughed.
“Lingyue, we’re family, so there’s no need to be so polite. You don’t even step out of your house, so how can you say that you’ve heard of your name for a long time?”
Xu lingyue turned around and said, ”
“Second brother is mocking me.
“Big brother said it before, big sister Yuan Shuang and little brother Yuan Huai, one is a Warlock and the other is a martial artist. In a small test of skills in Yongzhou, they almost caused big brother to suffer a big loss. His big brother was a rare genius and a first-grade martial artist.
“Then, second brother, do you think sister Yuan Shuang and brother Yuan Huai can’t live up to a single word from the sister?”
Xu niannian heard this and nodded.
he’s indeed gifted. Sigh, I heard that Yuan Huai is almost at the fourth level. I’m ashamed.
Xu yuanshuang froze on the spot and didn’t know what expression to make.
Xu yuanhuai lowered his head slightly, feeling even more ashamed.
This was exposing the fact that they had once dealt with Xu Qi ‘an.
In the past. he had followed Ji Xuan and the others to deal with Xu Qi. an. Now that Yunzhou was gone, he came to seek refuge … Anyone who wanted face would be so embarrassed and ashamed that they would want to dig a hole in the ground.
Ji baiqing’s expression was awkward as she forced a smile, ”
“Yuan Shuang and Yuan Huai are insensible. They have indeed done many wrong things in the past.”
Xu lingyue said softly, ”
“An apology is good.”
Mu nanzhi was holding the Fox cub in her arms and watching with great interest.
Of course, she could see that Xu lingyue was trying to intimidate the little bastard’s brother and sister. She watched the show with great interest, but she was also a little confused. In her impression, Xu lingyue should not be so strong.
Well, it should be Xu Erlang who taught her. Erlang was. scholar and was best at scheming … Mu nanzhi made a judgment.
Xu Qi ‘an glanced at Xu yuanshuang and Xu yuanhuai, whose faces had suddenly turned red. He gave them a way out and said lightly, ”
“You two go take a bath and change into clean clothes.”
Xu lingyue looked at her brother resentfully and continued, ”
“I’ll bring them there.”
Xu yuanshuang and Xu yuanhuai’s residence was arranged to be in a neighboring house, so they did not live together.
How could Ji baiqing allow Xu lingyue to continue bullying her children? she quickly said,
“No need, I’ll take them there.”
Then, he said to Xu Qi ‘an, ”
“Ningyan, dinner is here … Come to my place and I’ll cook you some Yunzhou dishes.”
She wanted to get close to the eldest son, but she didn’t dare to.
The main reason was that Xu Qi ‘an had never called her mother.
She did not dare to call herself her mother.
Xu Qi ‘an nodded.
“Alright,” he said.
Xu Qi ‘an watched her mother leave with her brother and sister. Then, she turned to her younger brother and said, ”
“Let’s go to the study. I have something to tell you.”
The two brothers went to Xu Qi ‘an’s study. After closing the door, Xu Qi’ an said, ”
“Tomorrow, write a memorial and ask His Majesty if he wants to appoint another supervisor. The supervisor’s disciples are fighting for this position.”
He then recounted the “battle” between yang qianhuan and the others.
Xu niannian touched his chin and said, ”
“I suddenly have an idea. The Ministry of Revenue is having a headache over the compensation for the fallen Gu clan soldiers. It would be better to let the Directorate pay the silver and tell them that the Emperor would favor whoever paid more.
