"Feng Hui, what do you want to do?"

Qiao Xi was afraid that he would do something extreme, so she opened her arms and stood in front of Xu Yi.

When Xu Yi lowered his head, he saw the top of her head. Her hair was black, soft and fine, with a few strands dancing in the wind.

Seeing her protecting herself like this, it was impossible not to be touched.

But there are more important things to do right now.

Xu Yi forced himself to ignore the soft corner of his heart, glanced around, and whispered to Feng Hui: "This is not the place to talk, you follow us from a distance."

As he said this, he didn't care whether it was according to etiquette or not. He took Qiao Xi's hand and walked quickly out of the crowd.

Shouldn't the brother-in-law hate Feng Hui? Why did he let him follow?

Although Qiao Xi had doubts in her heart, she was not stupid enough to ask now.

……

Stopping and looking at the house in front of her, Qiao Xi quickly recognized that this was Han Yunan's home.

Xu Yi raised his hand and knocked on the door, and soon the door was opened. The person inside was Han Yun'an.

"come on in!"

Han Yun'an didn't seem at all surprised by their arrival.

This made Qiao Xi even more confused.

"Don't close the door, there's another person coming in."

Seeing Han Yun'an was about to close the door, Xu Yi hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Hui arrived at the door.

Han Yun'an frowned slightly when he saw that it was Feng Hui, but in the end he said nothing and let him in.

Xu Yi was very familiar with this place. Before Han Yun'an said anything, he led Qiao Xi into the house.

Qiao Xi was afraid that there were elders in Han Yunan's family, so she wanted to hold Xu Yi back.

Sensing the strength of her hand, Xu Yi seemed to know what she was worried about. Without even turning his head, he said calmly, "Han Yun'an lives here by himself."

*

Several people sat around the table, and Han Yunan sat opposite Qiao Xi.

Feng Hui was on Han Yun'an's left, and Xu Yi was sitting on Feng Hui's left.

When they first sat down, no one spoke and the atmosphere in the room was a little weird.

In the end, it was Xu Yi who spoke first to break the silence.

"You shouldn't have come." This was said to Feng Hui.

"The Nie family has already fallen, what is there to fear?"

Feng Hui looked at Xu Yi and replied.

"Now, only the Nie family has fallen. Don't forget that there are other families that are deeply intertwined with the Nie family. How can you be sure that they won't take action?"

"But that lord from Baidi City looks quite remarkable."

"Once you push those people into a corner, no matter how powerful you are, you may not have a 100% chance of winning."

At this point, Feng Hui seemed to have come around, looking at Xu Yi with regret: "What should I do? I was following you just now, will others find out?"

"No, what's going on between you two?"

Without waiting for Xu Yi to answer him, Han Yun'an couldn't hold it in any longer and asked.

Qiao Xi also nodded. She also wanted to know what was going on.

"Are you speaking or am I speaking?" Feng Hui also looked at Xu Yi.

Xu Yi looked up and saw three pairs of eyes on him. Then he looked at Han Yun'an, who had an attitude that said, "You can't leave until you explain clearly today." He pinched his brows weakly and spoke slowly, "Go ahead. I want to be quiet for a while and think about what to do next."

After saying that, he got up and went to the yard.

After Xu Yi left, Han Yun'an and Qiao Qian's eyes fell on Feng Hui again.

Feng Hui pursed his lips, narrowed his eyes slightly, and fell into memories.

In order to learn to read and write, he often copied books for bookstores.

But copying books could only barely support the family income and was not enough to support his own studies.

By chance, he discovered that he could earn more by imitating the handwriting of famous calligraphers, so he practiced imitation hard and finally achieved some success.

After imitating several famous calligraphy works, for some reason, Nie Guizhou found him and asked him to imitate them.

But what could be wrong is that Nie Guizhou had already set a trap for him.

His fundamental purpose was the ancient book "Tianle Chunqiu" in the academy.

He wanted to steal the ancient books from the academy himself to apologize to him, and said that if he couldn't get the ancient books, he would be kicked out of Lingxiao City.

He himself is fine, but he has an old mother at home.

Forced into a corner, he had to find a way to steal ancient books from the academy.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he made a move, he was caught by Xu Yi.

Only after Xu Yi's repeated questioning did he tell the truth.

Later, Xu Yi came up with a solution, which was to put the blame on him, so as to temporarily stabilize Nie Guizhou.

As for whether the Nie family would cause trouble for Xu Yi, Xu Yi said that he would leave it to him to deal with the Nie family.

At this point, Han Yun'an and Qiao Qian were both shocked. They had never expected such a twist.

Then Qiao Xi thought of her previous self-willed behavior and was suddenly filled with shame.

I thought she helped Xu Yi, but I didn't expect that all of this was directed and acted by him, and everything was under his control.

Suddenly, Qiao Xi seemed to remember something and looked at Feng Hui solemnly: "Was it his idea to destroy the mourning hall?"

In order to put on a show, he even took his own mother's funeral hall into consideration. Isn't his scheming too deep?

Hearing this, Feng Hui hurriedly shook his head, his eyes full of self-blame: "No, it was Nie Guizhou's idea. To be honest, I'm really sorry to Xu Yi. He was trying to help me, but I-"

"But I destroyed my aunt's mourning hall. You don't know, after I got home that day, I regretted it so much that I couldn't eat.

I couldn't help but want to find Xu Yi to apologize several times, hoping to ask for his forgiveness, but Nie Guizhou kept sending people to keep an eye on me, so I never found a chance.

So, seeing that the Nie family was ruined, I hurried over to apologize to him, but I still wasn't thorough enough. I hope I won't cause him any trouble."

Feng Hui felt a little ashamed to face Qiao Xi and buried his head deeply in his chest.

"How much do you know?"

She could understand Feng Hui blaming himself, but why was Han Yun'an only surprised at first and then his expression didn't change at all?

Thinking that he had accompanied her in finding the person who stole the ancient books, Qiao Xi's head was buzzing and about to explode.

Seeing Qiao Xi's scrutinizing eyes, Han Yun'an scratched his head a little embarrassedly, his momentum unconsciously weakened, and his tone was flattering: "Well, sister-in-law, I only know what happened before. As for the matter of smashing the mourning hall, I really don't know."

So she is the only one who is kept in the dark?

Qiao Xi suddenly felt like she was being made a fool of.

"Do other people in the academy know about this?"

Han Yun'an saw her face getting worse and worse, and hurriedly shook his head: "No one else in the academy knows, except - except -"

Hearing his voice getting weaker and weaker, Qiao Xi took a deep breath and said with a hint of anger: "Except who?"

"Except the dean and a few gentlemen."

After saying that, Han Yun'an, like Feng Hui, buried his head deeply in his chest and dared not say a word.

At the same time, he said to himself: Xu Yi, don't blame me for being unfair. It's mainly because he doesn't want to annoy his sister-in-law.

"Good, very good! It turns out I've been acting all along, but I wonder if it's still acceptable to you, the audience? Let me ask you again, are the people coming from Baidi City part of your plan?"
