Homecoming Speech

Chapter 114 Under the Peach Blossom Tree

"Xu Qingyun, a member of the lower official Yubu, pay homage to the prince, Mr. Bai, Mr. Fu! The drinks are ready, please take a seat." Xu Qingyun was wearing a dark satin casual dress, holding the armrest as a salute.

There was some light in Chuhe's deep dark eyes, looking at Xu Qingyun's piercing appearance, the scene in front of him immediately made him feel a lot more relaxed, compared to Bai Qingfeng who brought him a lot of attention from all aspects. Xu Qingyun in front of him smiled kindly, but felt more at ease.

"Yubu Langzhong, it seems that he already knows the purpose of our trip." Chu He smiled heartily, the haze and coldness on his face had long faded, and he looked at Xu Qingyun and said when he was about to sit down.

The expression on Xu Qingyun's face was slightly stagnant, and his expression was a little trembling. He shook his body timidly, bowed his head and said: "I know that I have committed a crime. I was forced to make such a decision to save the life of my family. For more than ten years, I have lived a happy life." Terrified... Now it's finally time to let go."

After saying that, Xu Qingyun looked at Fu Danggui with guilt, bowed his head and cupped his hands: "Master Fu, I'm sorry for your father."

Fu Danggui took two steps forward. There were traces of scratches on Su Jing's hands, which were flesh wounds caused in Fengxiao Village. He raised his hand to caress Xu Qingyun's arm, pulled him up, and whispered Said: "Master Xu, you don't have to be sorry, I know your difficulties."

Xu Qingyun stroked his sleeves, got up and sat down, his muddy eyes were a bit blurred, as if he was lost in memory, he raised his hand and drank a glass of wine to himself, and said: "These officials have been living in the past few years. In repentance, when my teacher kicked me out, I knew something was wrong."

"Master, once warned me that I must never mention that I am his apprentice, and that I should never be an apprentice again. That would be to drive me out of the sect. Not long after, my master passed away." Xu Qingyun's expression turned pale. ugly.

He smiled bitterly, his eyes glowed under the dim light, and his ugly face added a bit of sadness, "The thing I regret the most in my life is that I didn't even attend Master's funeral."

Chu He looked at the scene in front of him without saying a word, his eyes flashed with oppression, he thought he would have to question Xu Qingyun to tell the truth, but he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

"Sorry, I was a little rude. I hope the prince and the two adults are not to blame." Xu Qingyun breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had finished venting, his brows and eyes became more serious, and he said.

With a slight smile on the corner of Bai Qingfeng's mouth, he asked calmly, "Since Mr. Xu knows that our trip is for the unjust case of that year, he must have already made plans."

Xu Qingyun was calm and composed, with a little smile on his kind face: "From now on, I will not be held accountable by conscience. My beloved wife has passed away, and my beloved daughter has grown up, but I am no longer fearless and can still tell the truth. Just don’t back down.”

Seeing Xu Qingyun's calm and unhurried appearance, Fu Danggui respectfully raised his glass to Xu Qingyun and said, "Master Xu, I'm really grateful for you taking the risk to tell the truth."

After drinking a glass of wine with his head up, Chu He looked at Fu Danggui angrily, "You drink too little, and you were injured again, how could you abuse your body like this."

Fu Danggui felt that Chuhe was making a fuss, but he could only look at Chuhe calmly and explain, "It's okay, aren't you here?"

Chuhe smiled helplessly. In the past, only others would accept him, and now he can only accept this person in front of him, but seeing his every frown and smile, Chuhe felt very satisfied, and dared to blame him.

Pieces of peach blossoms fall with the wind, drifting in the wind and swaying in the arc you want to see, the deeper the dew is, and the night is coming, the painted chandeliers hanging on the peach blossom tree are like huge peach blossoms unfolding, attracting brilliant.

At the end of the dark sky, a half-missing moon slowly rises, and there are a few more shining stars in the black sky.

Bai Qingfeng raised a glass of wine generously, toasted Xu Qingyun and said, "Master Xu, thank you Bai Qingfeng for today's banquet."

"Why did Mr. Bai say that? I heard that Mr. Bai was the presiding judge who overturned the case back then. I vaguely remember that Mr. Bai's father had been protecting Mr. Fu's family all the time. Although it ended badly in the end, But it is also worthy of admiration, compared to his old man, I am simply a coward." Xu Qingyun raised his hand and drank another glass of wine to strengthen his courage.

"Master told me that Mr. Fu was wronged. This is what my teacher gave me." Xu Qingyun took out a sealed envelope from his sleeve and handed it to me. Bai Qingfeng.

Bai Qingfeng raised his hand and raised his large sleeve robe, took the envelope, and nodded towards Xu Qingyun in a gentle manner, "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your cooperation in the investigation. But this letter alone is definitely not enough as evidence, and Mr. Xu is needed." Not afraid of power, only as a witness."

Xu Qingyun was speechless. Over the years, he has been busy in and out, exhausted physically and mentally but never wanted to stop, just to prevent himself from remembering what happened back then.

He thought that when he was really asked to face all this and accept the feeling of being close to death as much as possible, he would take it calmly, but in fact he was hesitant.

Seeing Xu Qingyun's indecision, Chuhe felt a little restless. He couldn't force Xu Qingyun to go out as a witness, could he?

Chu He's face was frosty, and he looked at Xu Qingyun coldly, without saying a word, but with a sense of coercion, Xu Qingyun exhaled anxiously, and said with trepidation: "I can agree to this matter, but There is one more thing to ask the prince."

"Master Xu, there's no need to be so formal, just speak up." Chu He calmly restrained his cold expression and said in a warm tone.

Seeing Chuhe's stern words, Xu Qingyun sighed and said, "This old man's life is only 30 to 18 years old. It's not sad or happy if he is gone. It's just that my beloved daughter Xu Qingqing is only [-] years old. I don't want her to suffer." The old man got involved and vented anger on others, I just hope the prince can protect her for a lifetime."

Chuhe looked past Fu Danggui calmly, looked at his face, looked at his thoughtful look, and couldn't help frowning, "Master Xu's request is a bit too much."

"My lord has misunderstood. I am not asking you to marry your beloved daughter, but to let him send someone to protect her until she meets a good man who can protect her." Xu Qingyun pushed away the chair and knelt down on the ground , said loudly.

Fu Danggui held his breath and concentrated on it. After thinking for a long time, he let out a long breath and said, "The lower official thinks Master Xu's request is very reasonable. What do you think, my lord?"
