As soon as Xie Yun stepped out, he saw the Black Kirin Guards waiting outside.

The leader of this team of Black Qilin Guards was a middle-aged man in his thirties with a small mustache. Upon seeing Xie Yun come out, he immediately bowed and saluted him. "Thank you, sir. I, Lin Feng, have been ordered to escort you to Biyang County. Please depart immediately!"

Xie Yun frowned and said, "I must go home first to change out of this court dress and pack some clothes before I can set off."

Lin Feng knew that what he said made sense, so he did not refuse. He just said, "Thank you, sir, for your reasonable words. I will escort you back to the mansion to change clothes!"

Xie Yun's face darkened with displeasure, but he knew that the emperor's order could not be disobeyed, so he could only return to the Xie Mansion with a dark face.

When the servants in the mansion saw the Black Kirin Guard following Xie Yun back, their faces changed drastically with fear and they hurried to report to their master.

Chen Fang was in the house looking through the information of young men of marriageable age from various mansions, preparing to choose a husband for her daughter. When she learned that Xie Yun had suddenly returned home with a team of Black Kirin Guards, she was so frightened that her face changed drastically. She dropped the book and ran out in a panic.

She was Xie Yun's second wife and came from a prominent family. Even though she was just a concubine's daughter, she was more confident than the legitimate daughters of small families.

During the years since she married into the Xie family, she has lived a very happy life, and even her parents-in-law dare not turn their backs on her.

Who would have thought that after so many years of being happy, my family would actually offend the Black Kirin Guards!

The Black Kylin Guards are a bunch of plague gods. What are they doing in the Xie family?

Could it be that Xie Yun angered Emperor Taihe and Concubine Jiang, bringing disaster to his family?

Chen Fang jogged all the way, feeling more and more panicked the more she thought about it, and she couldn't help but get angry at Xie Yun.

Xie Yun strode towards the main room. Seeing her running out in a panic, his face darkened: "Why are you so flustered?"

Seeing that he could still speak like this, Chen Fang didn't seem to have been punished by Emperor Taihe. He finally took a deep breath, walked quickly to him, and asked in a low voice, "Just now, a servant came to report that a team of Black Qilin Guards had arrived at the house. What's going on? Why did the master bring them home?"

Xie Yun glared at her warningly and lowered his voice: "Do you think I'm willing? If His Majesty asked them to escort us, they'll follow us all the time. What can I do?"

Chen Fang was puzzled: "Why did Your Majesty let them escort you? Could it be that someone wants to assassinate you?"

When Xie Yun thought about the reason for all this, his expression suddenly became uglier.

He looked at Chen Fang deeply, then lowered his voice and explained the reason: "The Black Qilin Guards found Xie Xiu. The baby girl that Xu had swapped was his newborn daughter."

Chen Fang didn't react at first: "What Xie Xiu?"

After asking this, she was struck by lightning and froze in place: "Are you talking about Xiu'er? He...how could he...he has been missing for so many years, is he still alive?

Why hasn't he contacted his family in all these years? Is he resentful and unhappy with me as his stepmother, so he doesn't even recognize you as his father?

And You'er! You'er is his biological brother from the same mother. Could it be that he doesn't even recognize You'er as his biological brother?

His mother sacrificed her life to give birth to You'er. How could he be so heartless?

There are also my father-in-law and mother-in-law. They have loved Xiu'er for so many years. After Xiu'er disappeared, they have been thinking about him all the time.

How could Xiu'er do this?

Even if he dislikes me as his stepmother, he shouldn't abandon his blood relatives!"

When Chen Fang finished speaking, she suddenly covered her face with a handkerchief and burst into tears of grief and anger.

As she said these words, Xie Yun's face became extremely ugly.

After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "The Black Qilin Guard said that he had a head injury and lost all his memories. He married a woman from a small local family. But whether he is Xie Xiu or not, I have to go and see him in person to confirm it."

Chen Fang raised her eyebrows in surprise. "You are his father, how can you go to see him in person? Even if he wants to meet you, he should come to see you!"

Xie Yun angrily retorted, "We haven't confirmed his identity yet, and his wife just gave birth and needs to recuperate. Are you going to let him abandon his wife and children and come to the capital?"

Chen Fang knew what he said made sense, but she was still unwilling to accept it. She said, "Even if it's inconvenient for him to travel now, he can still send someone from home. Why do you need to go and confirm it yourself? How can your body withstand the exhaustion of traveling all this time?"

Xie Yun listened to her deep concern and couldn't help but feel soft in his heart. He patted her shoulder and sighed, "This is what your majesty meant."

With just one sentence, Chen Fang's subsequent persuasion was blocked in her throat.

Since this was Emperor Taihe's intention, if she continued to persuade him, she would be disobeying the emperor's order.

Xie Yun continued, "Please help me pack some clothes. I'll change into casual clothes and then I'll set off. His Majesty has ordered me to leave immediately. There's no time to lose."

Chen Fang was already dissatisfied with the task that Emperor Taihe gave to Xie Yun, and he became even more furious after hearing this!

Emperor Taihe was clearly deliberately making trouble for Xie Yun!

But she didn't dare to say so, let alone resent Emperor Taihe, so she directed her anger towards Xie Xiu.

This little bastard is really lucky, he actually survived!

But since you've been hiding for so many years, why don't you just stay hiding? Why do you have to come out and disgust people?

Chen Fang pinched her palm hard.

Originally, she had already regarded Xie Xiu as a dead man. Since this man insisted on showing up, don't blame her for being cruel!

She will make Xie Xiu regret coming back to life!

Xie Yun didn't have time to talk to Chen Fang in detail. He changed into casual clothes and hurriedly set off with the luggage that Chen Fang had packed.

Fortunately, although the Black Kirin Guards wanted to take him on a quick journey, they also allowed him to ride in their own carriage.

Otherwise, if he rode all the way there, Xie Yun's journey would be even more difficult.

As soon as he left, Xie Jia ran to Chen Fang to inquire.

"Mom, why did Daddy leave with the Black Kirin Guards? Where are they going?"

Chen Fang looked at her beautiful and graceful daughter and explained helplessly, "The Black Kirin Guards found Xie Xiu in Biyang, and His Majesty asked your father to go and confirm it in person."

Xie Jia immediately frowned and stared with dissatisfaction: "What? Isn't Xie Xiu dead? How did the Black Qilin Guards find him? Could it be that he has not died all these years?"

She couldn't help but scream out in surprise, and Chen Fang quickly scolded her, "Why are you shouting so loudly? What if someone hears us?"

How many times has Mom told you? No matter what you think in your heart, don't show it on your face!

You are a young lady, and you must not make mistakes in your public etiquette. Otherwise, your reputation will be ruined. How will you go out and meet people in the future? "

Xie Jia was impatient to hear her say this and quickly said, "Okay, okay, my daughter has remembered everything, please don't say any more!

"I've always remembered what you said! I was so surprised this time that I accidentally shouted it out."

At this point, she immediately changed the subject, "Mom, tell me more about Xie Xiu. He's been missing for over a decade, how come he suddenly showed up? Could it be intentional?"

Since he is still alive, why hasn't he contacted his family all these years? He even made his grandparents sad for him. He is so unfilial!

"They say he lost his memory due to injury, but who knows if that's true?"

Chen Fang snorted in displeasure and continued to warn her daughter, "Anyway, just keep this to yourself and don't tell anyone.

There are all kinds of rumors out there lately, so you should stay home and don't go out."

"I know!" Xie Jia responded unhappily, and suddenly noticed the booklet that Chen Fang had casually thrown on the table.

So while Chen Fang wasn't paying attention, he secretly hid the booklet in his sleeve, found an excuse and turned around and left.

Chen Fang was thinking about Xie Xiu, so how could she have the mind to choose a son-in-law?

When she figured out how to deal with Xie Xiu next, she remembered the matter of choosing a son-in-law. Where could she find the booklet?
