After the reconciliation, the villainous stepmother has blessed the world!

She has been waiting for this day for a long time. She had never dared to come here rashly before. Now with her fame and ability, she has gained some status in Yuyang City. But what is the taboo about the word "Xiahou"? If she wants to save her life, she should Not a problem.

Moreover, in the past three years, Mrs. He has been giving food to Mrs. He. Her thin-skinned and big watermelons are the most eaten by Mrs. He. He is a soft-spoken person, so he is not easy to tell on, right?

Upon entering He's house, He Yi came out first to see her.

In the past three years, He Yuyao has changed a lot.

He has become much more stable than a verbose young man. Even if he occasionally loses his composure in front of Su Xin, he will talk too much. Other times, when others mention him, they can't help but praise him.

After realizing the benefits of fame, this person became more and more pretentious and cared about his image in public.

"Is the old man resting now?" Suxin asked.

He Yi also learned to read people's faces: "What kind of trouble did you get into and you want my grandpa to help solve it? From the front door, you will only give things first and don't ask anything else."

"..." Su Xin felt that it was not good for this person to become sensible and it was hard to fool him. "There is a question that I am not sure about. I would like to ask the old man to clarify it. If the old man is not here, I will come back another day."

"My grandpa likes you the most. Even if he doesn't have time to hear you coming, he will take time out." He Yi said, coughed dryly, raised his head like a dog, and said: "I will take you there."

Suxin did not refuse and followed him all the way into the old man's yard.

The old man was playing chess by himself. When he saw her, he immediately said: "You're here just in time, girl. Are you here to see if this endgame can be solved?"

Suxin is very good at chess, but she is lazy and feels that playing chess consumes too much energy and time, so she only plays chess occasionally when she feels like it. However, all skills need to be honed. If she practices less often, Mrs. He will yell People urged her or gave her some chess records.

They are almost friends.

With this friendship, Su Xin dares to speak out about certain things!

At this time, Suxin stepped forward and said, "I have something important to ask Grandpa He today. After asking, if you are still interested, I can play chess with Grandpa He again, okay?"

Mr. He's hand stopped for a moment: "It's rare that you would take the initiative to come over and ask. Yi'er, please go out first."

"Grandpa..." He Yi didn't want to leave. Is there anything he couldn't listen to?

"Go ahead and let me have a chat with this girl." Old Mrs. He said again.

In the past three years, this little girl has given him a lot of filial piety, and her enthusiasm for him is almost as much as that of her teacher!He would not believe it if there was no reason!

At first, he thought that this little girl had fallen in love with his sweet grandson, but after some testing, he discovered that she didn't even look at Yi'er. Even though Yi'er had gained fame, her attitude remained the same, and she spoke politely and distantly. There is never any overstep.

If it's not for Yi'er, it's because I want to ask for something.

He waited for a long time, just to see how long this little girl could hold it in.

He didn't expect that she could really endure it. After three years, he didn't say a single word. He got the benefits of three years in vain. He was a little hard-hearted at the beginning, but now he has softened.

As soon as the people in the room were cleared, Zuxin drank a cup of tea first, and then said: "I have something that I have never known where it came from. I thought you should be familiar with it, but I am afraid that this thing will be taboo. , so I never dared to ask.”

"What object?" Mr. He was very curious.

Suxin took out the seal.

As soon as the fine white jade was released, Mr. He was a little surprised. Such things were rare in Yuyang City, and the carvings on the white jade...

With just one glance, Mr. He knew that this thing was quite old.

"The word 'Xiahou' is engraved at the bottom of this seal. Have you ever heard of it, Mrs. He?" Su Xin handed the thing over.

The old man's heart trembled, he took the thing over, looked at it carefully, and stared at the lines on his head. After pondering for a long time, he didn't find any fraud.

"Where do things come from?" Mr. He became more serious.

"I got it by chance." Su Xin didn't tell the truth.

Mr. He knew in his heart that if he didn't get an answer from him, the little girl would definitely have reservations. If it was really a coincidence, how could she be so careful?

It must be her own thing.

"At the beginning of this dynasty, there was a meritorious official named Xiahou and Mu Zhang. This man saved Taizu many times, and his relationship with Taizu was more than that of a biological brother. Taizu wanted to make the king, but this Xiahou A general's life span is very short, and Taizu died of illness the year he ascended the throne, and he didn't even have time to seal his title."

"People say that Xiahou Muzhang made an oath back then, willing to exchange his life for peace in the world. In the end, the oath came true, so he passed away. However, these are all rumors and I don't know whether they are true or not."

"Xiahou Muzhang had only one son, and Taizu granted him the title of Duke. At that time, a foreign country sent a flawless jade. This jade was given to the Xiahou family. The Xiahou family made several seals out of it, with the word Xiahou engraved on it. It is left to the direct descendants of the family. However, this family does not have many children, and each generation has a short life span. Your Majesty's first wife is Queen Xiahou, and now the Xiahou family seems to have only three young sons left, none of whom are very mature. Qi, now holding an empty title, is already considered an unpopular noble in the capital." Mrs. He said, and looked at her seal carefully.

"Are you worried about what crime the Xiahou family has committed, so you don't dare to say anything? Are you relieved now?" After speaking, Mr. He suddenly remembered that he had always thought this little girl looked familiar over the years, but just couldn't remember it, but at this moment Look again——

His heart skipped a beat.

This little girl looks very similar to Queen Xiahou!

Moreover, Queen Xiahou died in childbirth. After her death, there were some rumors. Some said that Queen Xiahou had a daughter in an attempt to confuse the royal heirs and was discovered by His Majesty and committed suicide. Others said that Queen Xiahou had a fierce temper and had a conflict with His Majesty. His Majesty was angry that he stabbed the eldest princess to death with a sword...

Which one is true is still unclear.

Shouldn't...

Mr. He shook his head secretly in his heart. Although this little girl is somewhat similar to Queen Xiahou, it is difficult to conclude that this person is the eldest princess. Besides, she may be the daughter of the Xiahou family who is living outside, and she is also somewhat related to the late Queen. Not surprising either.

In any case, he couldn't directly assert it.

Suxin took back the seal, thought about it, and said, "So, with this seal, can I enter the Xiahou Mansion?"

"Yes." Mr. He said directly, "I heard that only three of these small seals were made at that time. They were usually passed on to the eldest son or a child with outstanding abilities. The only exception was Queen Xiahou, who was the daughter of the Xiahou family. The only daughter in my generation, she was very favored when she was young, so she should have one."
