The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

As soon as Qiao Qian finished speaking, Han Yun'an and Feng Hui shook their heads.

Are you kidding? Her face was so dark. Even if they knew, they couldn't say they knew, let alone they really didn't know.

"We all listen to Xu Yi."

The two of them tacitly passed the blame to Xu Yi.

"You listen to me in everything?"

Just at this moment, Xu Yi came in and looked at him with confusion in his eyes.

Qiao Xi's fury hadn't subsided yet. Seeing him come in, she stared at him with wide eyes and spoke with a hint of sarcasm: "Hearing how 'resourceful' you were in dealing with the Nie family, hearing how you deceived me. Seeing me anxiously running around to help you clear your name, does it make you feel better?"

She originally thought that this incident could make him change his opinion of her, but it turned out that she was overthinking it.

Xu Yi was a smart man. When he heard her say this, he immediately knew what she was thinking and subconsciously started to argue: "Sister-in-law, please don't misunderstand. Yan Zheng didn't say anything at the time because he was afraid of alerting the enemy. The Nie family has almost absolute control over Lingxiao City. Yan Zheng has to be very cautious with every step he takes. And-"

Having said that, Xu Yi paused and looked at Han Yun'an who was watching the show.

That look seemed to speak, making Han Yun'an feel a little guilty.

He deliberately licked his lips and said slowly, "Oh, why am I so thirsty? I guess you guys are thirsty too. I'll go boil some water."

As he said that, he stood up and walked out, as if someone was chasing him.

"Wait a minute, I'll help you light the fire!"

Feng Hui also noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so he made up an excuse and followed him out of the house.

For a moment, only Xu Yi and Qiao Qian were left in the room, staring at each other.

"And what?"

Qiao Xi raised her chin and let him finish talking about the picture.

Xu Yi frowned and sighed, "Besides, Yan Zheng already knows what sister-in-law feels, and he has no intention of watching the show. If sister-in-law is still angry, after this matter is resolved, sister-in-law can vent her anger however she wants."

"Really?"

Qiao Xi stared straight into his eyes, as if she could see through them into his heart.

But she saw nothing except clear eyes and her own reflection.

Xu Yi nodded and said patiently, "Really."

As if he thought of something, he glanced around the room and then his eyes fell on a desk.

"Here is a pen and paper. Yan Zheng can write down his promise."

As he said this, he picked up the ink stick on the table and began to grind the ink.

Seeing his actions, Qiao Xi knew he was serious, so she stepped forward and stretched out her hand to stop him: "No need. I believe you this time.

Now that the Nie family has been arrested, do you have any further plans?"

"Yes, yes, we want to know too!"

Before Xu Yi could speak, Han Yun'an's voice suddenly came from the door.

The two turned around and found that their bodies were outside the door, with their heads sticking out of the crack.

"Hmph!" Looking at the two people in front of him, Xu Yi suddenly felt a little annoyed and said unhappily, "Didn't you say you were going to boil water? Where's the water you boiled?"

"Here it is!"

Han Yun'an pushed open the door like a magic trick, pulled out a kettle from behind him, held it high, and then walked into the room and came to the table. He first poured a cup of tea for Qiao Xi and handed it to her with a wry smile: "Sister-in-law, please have some tea!"

Knowing that he was not intentionally hiding anything, Qiao Xi forgot about the unpleasantness just now, smiled softly, took the tea and thanked him.

Several people sat around the table again. Han Yun'an looked at Xu Yi seriously and said, "Xu Yi, tell me quickly, what should we do next?"

Xu Yi looked at the teacup in his hand and said slowly: "It's not about what we should do, but what that master wants to do!"

After all, he has the final say in this matter.

Shen Qingyan was looking through the files of Lingxiao City in recent years, his brows furrowed, as if he had thought of something important. He threw the files in his hand and shouted, "Kuzhu!"

"Sir, I am here!"

Kuzhu stood beside Shen Qingyan while wiping the sword in his hand, his eyes seemed to be looking at his own treasure.

Seeing him like this, Shen Liuguang rolled his eyes in disdain, thinking to himself: It's just a sword, why do I need to clean it morning and night? I can just clean it whenever I have a free moment, and I won't be afraid of cutting my hands.

Kuzhu didn't care about Shen Liuguang's look at all, and bowed to wait for Shen Qingyan's instructions.

"You said before that you saw someone who was very different from the others in the crowd. Do you still remember what that person looked like?"

Hearing this question, Kuzhu concentrated on recalling. After a moment, he said uncertainly, "I can't remember what she looked like very clearly."

The main reason is that he met too many people today.

"However, judging by his attire and the aura that emanates from him, it's certain he's a scholar. Why did you suddenly ask this, sir?"

At that time, he just mentioned it casually out of admiration.

After all, it is rare to see such a majestic person in this small Lingxiao City.

That aura was no less than that of Baidi City, which was full of powerful people.

"Nothing, I'm just curious if the person you saw is the same person I saw."

Shen Qingyan's eyes curved as he spoke, "It seems we noticed the same person. I'm a little tired of reading the files. Tell someone to keep an eye on the Nie family while we go out for a while."

Kuzhu took the order and left.

"Sir, where are we going? Can you prepare a carriage?"

When Shen Liuguang heard him say that he was going out, he hurried forward to ask.

"Go to Shangqing Academy and visit the dean."

Shen Qingyan said as he straightened his clothes and went out.

*

"Dean, there's a man outside the door who claims to be from Baidi City. He also claims to be an old friend of yours and is here to visit. Would you like to invite them in?"

The gatekeeper asked the dean of Shangqing Academy for instructions.

The dean put down the scroll in his hand, glanced at the child, and asked casually, "How old does that person look? Did he say his name?"

The boy said, "He looked to be about thirty years old, dressed in a navy blue uniform. There were two people following him, one holding a sword, and the other looked like a servant. But they didn't say their names, only that they came to visit on the orders of the master!"

The child told the truth about what he saw and heard.

"Let them in!"

"I'm so sorry. I waited for a while, but no one showed up, so I came in on my own initiative. I hope Dean Gu won't blame me!"

Just as the little boy turned around to ask for help, he saw the three men already standing outside the door.

Shen Qingyan took a few steps forward and bowed to the person behind the desk.

"Junior greets Dean Gu!"

Dean Gu Qingfeng looked at the man, whom he did not recognize, and could not help but frowned: "I don't know you, so how can you say we are old friends?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyan smiled politely, took something out of his sleeve, and handed it to the stunned child: "Dean Gu, you will understand after seeing this!"
