The son-in-law is too shy

Chapter 111

In the study room, the candles were flickering, watching Xu Huai'an's immature face fade away, Xu Yitang felt dazed for a while.

Xu Huai'an is not his parent and child, this is something only he, Shen Mengyun and his wife know.

He treated Xu Huaian badly, this is something Luoyang City knows, but this is such a child, but he has carefully hidden and protected it for more than 20 years.

"When did you come back?" Thousands of words, but at this moment, they all turned into a bland sentence.

"It's been a while." Xu Huai'an replied.

"Where have you been outside these few years?" Xu Yitang asked him to sit down and poured a cup of tea.

"I went to the Western Regions with my uncle." Xu Huai'an replied.

Xu Yitang paused, looked at her and frowned and said, "Shen Yanshu?"

"Yes, more than two years ago, it was my uncle and Sanniang who rescued me together. I was seriously injured and soaked in river water, so I almost didn't survive. It was my uncle who rescued me and took me to the Western Regions. I have martial arts, help me come back." Xu Huaian told Xu Yitang the whole story.

Xu Yitang listened quietly, and then sighed softly: "Shen Yanshu is too scheming, An'er, don't trust him."

Although Xu Huaian didn't understand why Xu Yitang said that, she still nodded and said, "I can save it."

"When do you plan to leave?" Xu Yitang asked again.

Xu Huai paused for a moment, and then asked without answering, "How does daddy view the current situation in court?"

Xu Yitang looked at her, frowned and said: "An'er, I know you hate the emperor, but the Li family's century-old foundation, you can't just destroy it. It's not only the Li family that suffers, but also the entire Daqin people!"

Xu Huai'an smiled lightly: "Daddy is worrying too much, I don't mean that."

Xu Yitang was stunned for a moment: "Then what do you mean?"

"Between the crown prince and King Qi and King Jin." Xu Huai'an stared at Xu Yitang and said.

Xu Yitang frowned, stared at her and said, "What are your plans?"

"Help the crown prince ascend the throne." Xu Huai'an said bluntly.

"Shut up, don't mention this matter again!" Xu Yitang shouted hastily.

"Father, don't worry, there is no King Jin eyeliner here, otherwise King Qi's army would have surrounded this place as soon as I stepped here." Xu Huai'an said.

Xu Yitang remained silent, Xu Huai'an continued: "Besides, the ascension of the crown prince is basically a matter of course. King Qi colluded with King Jin to commit treason and injustice. Is daddy going to tolerate them and let them go? Even if daddy doesn't think about himself, he has to look at the Xu family now. In the current situation, I am already a dead person in the eyes of outsiders, and King Jin is just trying to get rid of the prince with a dead person. The biggest help is you."

"Father, do you want to just sit and wait for death like this? The emperor is fatuous and suspicious, and he doesn't believe anyone. What's more, once you were the prime minister, you have accumulated power for many years. Above the court, you are an existence that promises everything. He naturally has doubts. You can even kill your beloved daughter, let alone you?" After Xu Huai'an finished speaking, he looked at Xu Yitang with a cold gaze, which made Xu Yitang feel dazed.

The girl who was once pure and clean has now become scheming and ruthless.

"What do you want to do?" Xu Yitang suddenly felt a little tired. He felt that he was sorry for Qin Yiyun. He had promised to take good care of Xu Huai'an, protect her from worry-free growth throughout her life, and stop getting involved in these right and wrong, but unexpectedly, After going round and round, Xu Huaian finally knew everything, and decided to launch a counterattack against his opponent.

"Everything is ready, we only owe Dongfeng." Xu Huaian said.

"What do you mean?" Xu Yitang looked at Xu Huai'an and asked.

"I have teamed up with the prince to push King Qi and King Jin into a desperate situation. Now they are turning to you, Daddy, with the mentality of fighting hard. If they succeed, they will increase their chances of winning by [-]%. If they fail, then they will There is only one last path left." Xu Huai'an said.

After hearing this, Xu Yitang was startled, and hurriedly said: "You mean, King Qi wants to force the palace?"

Xu Huaian nodded: "Other than that, they have no other choice."

Xu Yitang frowned, and then said: "The east wind you mentioned means that King Qi forced the palace?"

"Exactly!" Xu Huai'an responded with a light smile.

"But have you ever thought about it, what if it fails, what if King Qi's wish is fulfilled?" Xu Yitang said.

"That is my fate. I will complain, but I will never regret it." Xu Huaian's face was calm, without showing the slightest hesitation.

Xu Yitang was silent for a while, and finally sighed heavily: "What do you want to do for your father?"

"The crown prince will clear up the grievances for father. There is a man named Jiang Lin in the court. Does father know?" Xu Huai'an laughed.

Hearing that Xu Huai'an mentioned Jiang Lin, Xu Yitang frowned displeasedly and said, "A flatterer, although talented and learned, only knows how to flatter.

Xu Huai'an couldn't help smiling, and then said: "That's right, you definitely don't know him, but I think you must know his master, Daddy."

"Oh? Who is it?" Xu Yitang looked at her.

"Qingyunhe, Jiang Sheng."

Xu Yitang was shocked: "What did you say? He is Jiang Sheng's apprentice, but why is he?"

"I asked him to do this." Xu Huai'an replied calmly.

Xu Yitang looked at her in disbelief, and Xu Huai'an continued: "His original name is Hou Lin, and he is Uncle Jiang's apprentice. This time, he listened to my arrangement to lurk beside King Qi to win King Qi's trust and favor."

Xu Yitang listened, then seemed to think of something, he looked at Xu Huai'an in astonishment and said: "Then Hou Lin is the champion of Chunwei this year, did you arrange it by yourself at that time?"

"Since the year I left, I have been planning all the time. I have sworn that I will never let anyone who hurt me go! Hou Lin's entry into the court is only the first step. It was only after I came back that I arranged it little by little." Xu Huai'an narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice.

"So, you deliberately asked Hou Lin to recommend King Qi to go to Beidi, and you deliberately released those rumors to hold King Qi high? Then you helped the prince stabilize his low position in the emperor's heart, and let King Qi find out that no matter how he His hard work is not as good as the prince's paranoia, and the emperor became more indifferent and suspicious of King Qi because of folk rumors, which deepened the obsession in King Qi's heart, and thus drove him step by step into a place of eternal doom?!"

Xu Yitang looked at the young girl whom he had watched grow up, but found that she was extremely strange to him at the moment.

"Yes." Xu Huai'an even admitted directly, she looked at Xu Yitang and said, "I know what Daddy is thinking, yes, I am no longer the Xu Huai'an who didn't know anything, who just hid behind others, All I want now is revenge, to those who tried to take everything away from me, revenge."

Xu Yitang didn't speak, and finally just sighed softly: "It's useless for dad, and he still didn't protect you well in the end."

Xu Huai'an shook his head, then got up and knelt down towards Xu Yitang, Xu Yitang was startled, but listened to Xu Huai'an.

"Father, my daughter is not filial. When she was young, she didn't understand her father's good intentions. She even felt resentful about it. She confronted her everywhere and made her spend a lot of time. My daughter is apologizing for her father here."

Xu Yitang's eyes turned hot, he got up and helped Xu Huai'an up, his voice choked with sobs: "Get up, get up, daddy never blamed you. Dad always only hoped that you could live this life in peace, maybe a hundred years later For brother Yi, I never expected it, and I still couldn't do it after all."

Xu Huai'an shook his head: "It's not your fault, it's just those people who are bullying too much!"

"An'er, Dad doesn't ask for anything else. I understand that you hate the Li family, but the crown prince has never interfered in this matter. If it happens, you must not take action against the crown prince."

"Father, don't worry." Xu Huai'an said, "For Sanniang's sake, I won't do anything to the prince either."

Xu Yitang nodded.

Xu Huai'an glanced at the sky, and then said: "It's getting late, Dad, I'm leaving first, and you will stay at the house to rest for the next few days, everything depends on me, and..."

Xu Huai'an paused and said: "Don't tell anyone about my return, including mother, the less people know, the safer you will be."

Xu Yitang pursed his lips and said, "I understand, don't worry."

Xu Huai'an nodded, and then saluted Xu Yitang: "My daughter is leaving."

"Go, be careful yourself." Xu Yitang nodded.

Xu Huai'an didn't say much anymore, put on his mask and left quietly.

Watching Xu Huai'an leave, Xu Yitang sighed softly, then extinguished the candle and left the study.

Xu Huai'an quietly returned to the other courtyard all the way, and returned to his own courtyard, only to find that the lights in his room were still on.

Feeling warm in his heart, he quickly stepped forward and opened the door, and saw Li Qiushuang, who was resting her head on the table and closed her eyes, opened her eyes instantly. When she saw Xu Huaian coming back, she quickly got up and looked at her. Man, heaved a sigh of relief when he found out that he was not injured.

"Did you see dad?" Li Qiushuang asked.

"I see." Xu Huai'an nodded, and then there was a slight apology in his eyes: "I kept you waiting."

Li Qiushuang shook her head: "It's okay, it's getting late, let's go to bed earlier."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to take off his coat.

Seeing Li Qiushuang changing her clothes, Xu Huaian couldn't help but gently embraced Li Qiushuang, and buried her head on her shoulder.

Li Qiushuang paused, then patted Xu Huai'an's back lightly, and said softly, "What's wrong?"

Xu Huai'an shook his head, and unconsciously added a little more strength to Li Qiushuang's hand, only to hear her whisper: "I used to think that I was the most miserable person in the world, but now I realize that there are many people around me. People who treat me well, but I have been living in my own world, but turn a deaf ear to these, really should not be."

Li Qiushuang couldn't help but smile slightly after listening, "Fortunately, it's not too late for you to find out, Huai'an, we will always be by your side, you are definitely not alone."

"En." Xu Huai'an responded with a smile, then seemed to think of something, she let go of Li Qiushuang, looked at her and said, "Sanniang, go and meet the prince, as Li Qiushuang's identity and appearance."

Li Qiushuang looked at her in surprise, Xu Huai'an continued: "I can tell that the crown prince really cares about you, he is your closest relative, I don't want you to break ties with him because of me, Sanniang, we Confess to the prince."

Li Qiushuang stared blankly at Xu Huai'an, and when she noticed that her eyes were firm and did not look like a joke, she knew that she had made a decision.

Li Qiushuang's heart warmed up, then she nodded, the corners of her lips slightly raised.

"it is good."
