Xiao Jun walked over and sat on the edge of the **, but Xiao Lingzhi had already sat up, the two hugged each other, and Xiao Jun said softly: "Miss, no matter what, Young Master Han is a good person." She let go of her hand, took the clothes next to her, put them on for Xiao Lingzhi, stared at Xiao Lingzhi, and her pretty face was solemn: "Miss, what should I do next, what are your plans?" ”

Xiao Lingzhi shook her head with a wry smile and said, "I...... I don't really know. ”

"If you stay, you must marry Han Cang." Xiao Jun sighed lightly: "You only have Young Master Han in your heart, marrying Han Cang, you will be even more miserable." However, if you follow Young Master Han...... That would hurt you, too! ”

"I ...... I want to go with him. Xiao Lingzhi sighed faintly: "But ......! ”

Xiao Jun smiled and said, "Actually, I know that Miss will choose like this." Miss, we have lived until now, we have never lived for ourselves, if you really want to be with Young Master Han, if you will really be happy with him, then you can go with him. It is better to live a life of pain than to live happily for yourself for a while. ”

"But ......!" Xiao Lingzhi held Xiao Jun's hand, stopped talking, her expression immediately dimmed, and she shook her head and said, "If I leave, it will definitely affect your ......!" ”

Xiao Jun smiled and clasped Xiao Lingzhi's hand, "Miss, you don't have to think about me. Remember the first time we met? ”

Xiao Lingzhi smiled softly and said, "How can you not remember." At that time, you were only four years old, wearing a shabby gray cloth coat, your face was dirty, and you were crying! ”

Xiaojun smiled: "Miss still remembers." ”

Xiao Lingzhi sighed faintly and said, "How can you forget!" ”

"That sister naturally remembers that she gave me a steamed bun at that time, but she was snatched ...... by the peacocks!" Xiao Jun showed a strange look on his face: "At that time, I cried and cried, because I was really hungry...... But then the steamed bun appeared in front of me again, and the one who handed the steamed bun back to me was you, sister. She said softly: "That was the first time I saw my sister, when you were wearing a little green dress, different from the other sisters, clean and clean, like a little fairy......!" ”

Xiao Lingzhi smiled softly, and seemed to be immersed in the memories of the past.

"From that day on, you have protected me, and from that day on, I have recognized you as my sister." Xiaojun said softly: "That year, you were seven years old, and I was ...... four years old!" ”

"I still remember that we had a total of sixteen sisters at that time, but in just two years, half of them died, and only eight remained, if it weren't for my sister, you cheered me up and let me survive, I'm afraid I would have died by then!"

Xiao Lingzhi sighed lightly: "We still survived after all." ”

"yes." Xiaojun smiled bitterly: "By the time my sister left us when she was thirteen years old, there were only four of us left, and I thought I would never see you again." Sister, you don't know, the day you left, I ran to the woods where we often go and cried all day...... I swore at the time that if I could get our sisters together again, I would be willing to spend half my life! Speaking of this, tears flowed down Xiaojun's eyes uncontrollably.

Xiao Lingzhi stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Xiaojun's eyes, her eyes were red, and she said softly: "I know you are reluctant to me, but I am also reluctant to you." Fortunately, not long after we separated, we were together again. ”

Xiaojun nodded and smiled: "Yes, the above arranged for me to assist you, and after being separated for more than half a year, we are together again." She pear blossoms bring rain, but she is also very beautiful: "I swore that day, since God let us get together again, I will die, and I will never leave you again." ”

"Jun!" Xiao Lingzhi's tears also fell and hugged Xiaojun.

"Miss, you like Young Master Han, since you like him, you are much happier than ever." Xiao Jun and Xiao Lingzhi hugged each other and said softly: "At that time, I was hoping that you would eventually become married, but in the end, you made this family business. ”

Xiao Lingzhi bit her red lip, closed her eyes, and pearl-like tears rolled down her smooth and fair face.

"Jun doesn't want to see you in pain." Xiao Jun said: "So you have to go with Young Master Han." ”

"I can't bother you!" Xiao Lingzhi shook her head and said.

Xiao Jun said firmly: "You don't have to worry about me. In the past six years, I have followed Miss, like a sister, and I am very happy. I don't want to see my sister live for a lifetime under the control of others like this, since Miss has a heart, you will go with Young Master Han, even if you can't live for long, but at least you can live for yourself ......! She got up and said, "Wait a minute! He went out and came back after a while, holding a small porcelain bottle in his hand, and handed it to Xiao Lingzhi: "Miss, this is the antidote, and there are four ......!" ”

Xiao Lingzhi was surprised: "No, this ...... This is your antidote! ”

Xiao Jun said calmly: "These four antidotes plus the four on your body, Miss, each antidote can last for a month, and there are still eight months to add up." In the past eight months, Miss has followed Young Master Han and can at least live a happy life. ”

"No way!" Xiao Lingzhi said solemnly: "Xiaojun, you and I are like sisters, if you want to die, we will die together, I will never leave you to live alone!" ”

Xiao Jun smiled bitterly: "Miss, even if the eight antidotes are combined, you will only support it for eight months." If you leave here, against the meaning of the above, they will never give you an antidote. This kind of antidote, you know very well, there are as many as 32 kinds of medicinal materials in it, and the formula is top secret, even if you find out which 32 kinds of medicinal materials are, but when dispensing, the dose of any kind of medicinal materials is more or less, it will not have an effect...... We can't make an antidote. She shook her head lightly and said, "Miss, I'm afraid it won't be long before you and my sister will meet again in the underworld...... Miss, you have to think well! ”

Xiao Lingzhi said calmly: "If we don't leave this time, we will be controlled by them for the rest of our lives until we die." Her face showed a look of determination: "I am already Han Lang's person, life is his person, death is his ghost, and I will never marry another man!" Then his face showed a gentle color: "As long as I can be with Han Lang, even if I can only live for one day, I am satisfied!" ”

Xiao Jun said with a smile: "Miss, those young masters and sons in Beijing say that you are as cold as frost, but Xiao Jun's way, you are the most affectionate and righteous person in the world!" Then he handed the porcelain vase in his hand to Xiao Lingzhi and smiled, "Miss, I just hope that every day you and Young Master Han are together, you will be happy and live for yourself." ”

Xiao Lingzhi shook her head and said, "Xiaojun, since my sister said that she will live and die with you, she will not give up you to live alone!" ”

Xiao Jun immediately clenched the porcelain vase, "Miss, if you don't accept it today, Xiao Jun will destroy it immediately!" ”

Xiao Lingzhi's expression was calm, and she also took out a small porcelain bottle of the same kind from the pillow, and said with a faint smile: "If you destroy the antidote, my sister will also destroy the antidote immediately!" ”

Xiao Jun was stunned, and then threw herself into Xiao Lingzhi's arms, whimpering and sobbing like a child.

Xiao Lingzhi hugged Xiaojun and said softly: "I said that if I can be with Han Lang, even if it is a day, I will be satisfied, and if I can be with him for four months, God will treat me well!" ”

……

……

The officials of the Taishi Mansion have already dispersed with unwillingness, but Xiao Taishi's attitude is resolute, and the facts are done, even if the officials are unwilling, they are helpless.

When everyone leaves, they are dejected, just like their father and mother have died.

The officials in the palace were gone, but Xiao Taishi only left Xiao Wanchang in the criminal department, led him to his rather dim room, and ordered his subordinates to serve tea, so he closed the door and stayed alone in the room with Xiao Wanchang.

"Wan Chang, the old man asked you to stay, do you understand what you mean?" Taishi Xiao stared at Xiao Wanchang.

Although the Xiao family has a lot of people, and it was once the most glorious family in the Yan Kingdom, there are few powerful characters in the children of this group.

Although Xiao Taishi and Xiao Huaiyu are both great characters, in addition, among the children of later generations, only Xiao Taishi, a nephew, can take charge alone.

"The Taishi has something to command!" Xiao Wanchang knew that it must not be easy for Taishi Xiao to let him stay, so he stood in front of the table and was extremely respectful.

Like every member of the Xiao clan, he has a sense of awe for Master Xiao from the bottom of his bones.

"It's something to command." Taishi Xiao picked up the teacup and took a slight sip, before he smiled faintly: "Then what do you think the old man will command?" ”

Xiao Wanchang groaned slightly, and finally said: "You can bend and stretch, show weakness to the enemy, preserve your strength, wait for the opportunity, and make a comeback!" ”

Taishi Xiao frowned, his face showed a look of relief, and he sighed: "My Xiao family still has talents like you, and God still has my Xiao family." Pointing to the chair next to him, he said, "Wan Chang, you sit down first!" ”

Xiao Wanchang saluted respectfully, walked to the side, and sat down next to the edge of the chair.

"How do you preserve your strength?" Taishi Xiao stared at Xiao Wanchang: "You saw the meaning of today's group of people, all of them are unwilling, even if the old man lets go, they may not be able to do it." ”

"To preserve your strength, you will be like the mantra of the Taishi, self-cultivation, and self-preservation." Xiao Wanchang said calmly: "For the Han family, we must try our best to cater to them, but we must not make mistakes ourselves, so as not to grab the handle for them and sweep my foundation!" ”

Master Xiao stroked his beard and said, "Yes." The officials of the Xiao family in the court are the foundation of my Xiao family. If we fight hard with the Han family one by one, according to the current strength and prestige of the Han family, even if we injure the enemy by three points, we are afraid that our foundation in the DPRK will be uprooted by the Han family. Therefore, my Xiao clan officials can only act in a low-key manner, clean themselves, and show weakness to the Han family, let alone be caught by them. ”

Xiao Wanchang nodded and said, "Wanchang understands." ”

"You're going to have a tough drug!" Taishi Xiao's expression became gloomy: "Choose a few arrogant clan officials, their official positions should not be high, but they must not be low, hold their handles, and you will do it yourself, and you will be impeached." ”

Xiao Wanchang frowned and asked, "What does Taishi mean is that I will personally come forward and impeach my own family?" ”

"Yes." Taishi Xiao nodded and said, "Try to choose a few clan officials who are not pleasing to the Han family and have a great conflict with the Han family, and impeach them from the court." ”

"Bitter Meat Trick!" Xiao Wanchang understood: "This is to make the Han family believe that we dare not compete with it, and even more so to make an example of others, so that they will not dare to act rashly!" ”

"Exactly." Master Xiao said with a smile.

"Wan Chang understood!" Xiao Wanchang stood up and arched his hand.

Taishi Xiao got up, stepped forward, patted Xiao Wanchang lightly on the shoulder, and said softly: "Wan Chang, after the old man leaves, my Xiao family will be in the court, and you will have to support it." You have a heavy burden on your shoulders, so you need to be careful. ”

"Yes!"

"You don't have to worry too much." Master Xiao stroked his beard and said: "After the old man leaves, the Han family is dominant, as long as you cater to the Han family with your heart." As for the Fan and Hu families, you don't have to be too jealous, they don't want to see my Xiao family really decay at this time, so they shouldn't be too embarrassed by our Xiao family in the future. But you must not get close to the two of them, what they do, you just turn a blind eye. Remember the old man's words, be careful to cater to the Han family, but there are officials in the clan who collide with the Han family, you must impeach before the Han family makes a move! ”

Xiao Wanchang frowned and said cautiously: "What the Taishi means, Wan Chang understands. But...... Do you really want to sit back and watch Han Jiaquan tilt into the opposition? If the strength of their Han family is too strong, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to find a chance to make a comeback! ”

Taishi Xiao shook his head and said, "If you don't have a chance, you will keep waiting." Even if the old man doesn't have a chance when he dies, then you just keep waiting, as long as you keep the foundation of the Xiao family in the court, you will have a chance to make a comeback. Then he smiled coldly: "The so-called higher you climb, the heavier you fall, the Han family rises suddenly, I'm afraid that even they themselves are not too prepared." You have to understand that if a person is not prepared and suddenly runs fast and climbs very high, there will be a big hole, which is unavoidable. What's more, the old man has already put intestinal poison on them...... Rotten from the inside! ”

Xiao Wanchang's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he looked at this thin old man with great admiration.

Waiting for Xiao Wanchang to leave, Taishi Xiao asked people to call Steward Xiao from Taishi's Mansion again.

Steward Xiao is over fifty years old, and like many families, he is the commander of the shadow guard of the Taishi Mansion.

"Send someone to watch the Peacock Tower in the West Courtyard." Taishi Xiao instructed lightly: "Keep an eye on it day and night, and if you have any vision, report it to the old man immediately!" ”

Steward Xiao was stunned.

Peacock Tower is where Xiao Lingzhi lives, all along, because of Xiao Lingzhi's special status in the Han family, he has not sent anyone to watch there, but occasionally shadow guards pass by, also to protect Xiao Lingzhi's safety.

However, Taishi Xiao asked him to send someone to keep an eye on the Peacock Tower today, so naturally he wanted to spy on Xiao Lingzhi.

Steward Xiao didn't dare to ask more, and nodded yes.

"In addition, if the eldest lady goes out, you can also send a few shrewd people to follow." Taishi Xiao sat on the chair with a calm expression: "You must not let the eldest lady have any situation, let alone let the eldest lady leave her sight!" ”

"The old slave understands!" Steward Xiao respectfully accepted the order.

Waiting for Steward Xiao to go out, Taishi Xiao leaned back on the chair quietly, his lips squirmed, and muttered to himself: "Child, it's not that grandpa is ruthless, but ...... The Xiao family can't stop sending it in the hands of grandpa! He let out a long sigh and looked helpless.
