Chapter 404
Xiao Wang frowned slightly, and said in disapproval, "Yueqing, you have just heard from the emperor that they are exhausted and need to rest. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for you to go there at this time."

"But..." Xiao Yu's voice lowered, a little sullen, "I really miss Yi'er so much."

Xiao Wang pursed his lips and remained silent, showing a little helplessness.He naturally understood Xiao Yu's longing for her daughter, but he couldn't figure out Shen Chuhan's attitude, and it was not easy for her to act rashly.

At this time, Xiao Zhuyu followed up and persuaded, "Mother, in my opinion, you should listen to my father and let my sister rest for a while. After dinner, she has almost rested, so it's better for you to go and see her. "

Xiao Yushi took a deep breath, knowing that what they said was polite, after all, he suppressed the restlessness in his heart and nodded in agreement.

Xiao Wang looked at Xiao Ying, "Ying'er, help your grandmother go back to the room to rest first." Then he looked at the others, "Everyone else should go back to the room first, Ajin and Ayu stay here."

Knowing that Xiao Wang had something to say to Xiao Huaijin and Xiao Yaoyu, the others bowed and retired one after another, and Xiao Yushi also left with Xiao Ying's support.

As soon as a few people left, the hall became quiet.

Xiao Wang paced a few steps in the hall, with a pensive expression on his face. After a while, he turned his head to look at Xiao Huaijin and Xiao Yaoyu, "A Jin, A Yu, what do you think?"

Xiao Huaijin and Xiao Juyu looked at each other, Xiao Huaijin said after deliberation, "Father means, what is the emperor's purpose for coming to Cangzhou this time?"

Xiao Wang nodded, "Whether the purpose is good or the emperor is the person, you can all express your own opinions."

Xiao Huaijin thought for a moment, then slowly said, "As Ying'er said, since the emperor came to Cangzhou this time, he brought the queen and sister with him, which means that he really has plans to re-acquaint himself with the Xiao family. But... "

"But what?" Xiao Wang looked at him with sharp eyes.

"But the emperor is obviously dissatisfied with our previous actions."

"Second Brother, you mean...the Emperor is dissatisfied with our way of ignoring Eldest Sister?" Xiao Yaoyu took the conversation thoughtfully.

Xiao Huaijin nodded, "Although the emperor looks polite on the surface, in many cases, this politeness is just superficial." Speaking of this, he paused and sighed, "It's my sister who really misses us .”

Hearing him talking about Xiao Lingyi, Xiao Wang's eyes dimmed, he sighed almost inaudibly, and after a long while, he said quietly, "We are the ones who are sorry for your sister."

Xiao Huaijin and Xiao Yaoyu also had gloomy expressions when they heard the words.

The difference between them and Xiao Lingyi was only two or three years old. When Xiao Lingyi entered the palace, they had already remembered the events and knew the series of things that happened afterwards.Like Xiao Wang, they knew very well in their hearts that the Xiao family was sorry for Xiao Lingyi, but they had no choice.

Even so, they are also very guilty.

When Xiao Lingyi was not out of the cabinet, he had a very good relationship with them.At that time, Xiao Huaijin and Xiao Juyu were young and often liked to sneak out of the house to play, Xiao Lingyi couldn't bear to spoil their interest, and was worried about their safety, so he would follow them out of the house every time.But when Xiao Wang came back and blamed him, Xiao Lingyi would stand in front without hesitation and block their punishment.

Even after Xiao Lingyi married Jun Wuchen, he often sent people to ask them to enter the palace to care about their situation.

But later, Jun Wuqin's rebellion succeeded, and Xiao Lingyi was imprisoned in the deep palace, and they were separated from each other from then on.In fact, at the beginning, they wanted to break into the palace and rescue Xiao Lingyi.It's just that at the last moment of the plan, Xiao Wang found out and stopped them by using both soft and hard methods.

In the end, they canceled the plan.Because what Xiao Wang said was right, they and Xiao Lingyi carried the lives of the entire Xiao family on their backs, so they couldn't be willful at all.

Unexpectedly, in this life, they could see Xiao Lingyi again.

Although Xiao Lingyi didn't say anything to them just now, she glanced at them several times, and the excitement in her eyes was almost overflowing, how could they ignore it?

"Father, what should we do now?" Several people were thinking about their own thoughts, and after a long while, Xiao Huaijin finally opened his mouth.

Xiao Wang pondered for a moment, "Let me see what the emperor means first. As for Yi'er, you...go and see him for me first." Xiao Wang spoke with difficulty, lowered his head, and spoke in a deep voice.

He didn't know what kind of posture he should take to face Xiao Lingyi.As a father, he failed to protect his daughter well, and he still feels ashamed to face her again.That's why just now, even if he was thinking so much in his heart, he couldn't muster up the courage to look at Xiao Lingyi in the end.

Xiao Huaijin and Xiao Holdyu felt a little helpless.

How could they not understand Xiao Wang's thoughts?But I didn't know how to comfort him for a while.They are not Xiao Lingyi, so naturally they are not qualified to forgive her, what's more, besides Xiao Wang, they are the ones who didn't do anything back then.

However, since Xiao Lingyi is here, no matter what, they will muster up the courage to meet her.

"Okay." The two of them didn't say any more, and agreed deeply.

Xiao Wang frowned slightly, "You guys should go back and rest first. I reckon the emperor will have lunch sent to their yard, but everyone may have dinner together. Go back and tell Zijin and Ayan to prepare well. Down."

"Yes, father." Xiao Huaijin and Xiao Yaoyu agreed, saluted Xiao Wang, and walked out of the front hall together.

After the two left, Xiao Wang sat in the living room for a long time, until the incense in the incense burner was burned out, Fang got up with a lonely expression, and walked outside, but the vigorous pace in the past was a bit faltering today.

But say the other way.

Under the guidance of the maid in the mansion, Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan Xiao Lingyi arrived at the courtyard where they were staying.Xiao Lingyi's courtyard is next door to them, watching her enter the courtyard, Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan stepped into the courtyard.

The courtyard had already been cleaned spotlessly, and there were four maids on duty waiting outside the courtyard, but they dared not enter easily without orders.

After entering the room, Liu Yue and Shen Xing tidied up a bit, then retreated out.

Song Qinghuan sat down in front of the tea table, raised her hand and took a sip from the already filled teacup, her eyes were deep and thoughtful.

Shen Chuhan looked at her and chuckled, "Ah Wan, give me a sip too."

Song Qinghuan looked up at her, and pushed the teacup in front of him towards him, "Your own tea doesn't taste good?"

Shen Chuhan's smile deepened, and with a nasal "um", he just stared at the cup of tea in her hand.

Song Qinghuan had no choice but to pass the teacup in front of him, "Here, drink it."

Shen Chuhan took a sip from her hand, and for some reason, looked at her with a smile on his lips, "Ah Wan isn't going to ask me?"

After Shen Chuhan saw through his thoughts, Song Qinghuan cleared his throat and said, "You don't like the Xiao family?"

Shen Chuhan's attitude just now was clearly not warm.But from her point of view, the Xiao family's behavior, at least just now, and their attitude towards Xiao Lingyi are impeccable.

"Not really." Shen Chuhan said leisurely.

"Then why...?" Song Qinghuan was puzzled and raised her eyebrows slightly.

Shen Chuhan put down his teacup, and tapped lightly on the wall of the teacup with his fingers, "I'm just... just venting my anger on behalf of my mother." He has never been a kind person, if it was him who happened back then, it must be Bao Xiao Lingyi As for the Xiao family, it's just that he can't understand Xiao Wang's decision, but it doesn't mean that he won't give him face.

Song Qinghuan was a little helpless, after thinking about it, she persuaded, "Ashu, don't overdo it, lest it will be difficult for the mother and concubine."

Shen Chuhan nodded, "I understand."

"Then... tell me what you think of the Xiao family?" Song Qinghuan asked again.

"Xiao Wang is indeed a person who knows how to advance and retreat. The junior he handed over will not be too bad."

"Then invite him out of the mountain...?"

"It's still on the agenda, but for the next two days, let's untie the knot in my mother's heart first." Shen Chuhan said, calling Shen Xing in, and told her to go to Xiao Lingyi's yard to see the situation.

Shen Xing should be, backed out, after a while, went back again.

"How?" Shen Chuhan glanced at her, and said lightly.

"There is no one in the Empress Dowager's courtyard for the time being. According to Lan Xi, the Empress Dowager is currently resting on the soft couch." Shen Xing replied.

Shen Chuhan responded thoughtfully, and sent her off with a wave of his hand.

Song Qinghuan glanced at him, "What? As you expected?"

Shen Chuhan slightly hooked his lips, "It seems...the Xiao family is quite knowledgeable, after dinner, I should have a good chat with my grandfather."
