The prince is very cruel

He raised his head, looking unmoved, like an old man with a cow nose, and almost made Guan Ning laugh.

Zhao Yi gritted his teeth, very angry.

"Sir Xiao, this matter has nothing to do with you. Do you really have to meddle in other people's business?" He clenched his fists tightly.

Xiao Changhe said calmly, "I just couldn't stand it any longer, so I spoke out for justice."

"Don't forget, when Duke Guan was still around, you hadn't yet joined the Zhao family. You and I were both just minor scholars at the Wenyuan Pavilion. If it weren't for the Duke's help, we wouldn't even have a place to keep warm that winter!"

"A favor should be remembered for a thousand years. Now that the Guan family has fallen on hard times, you're trying to kick them when they're down. That's really too despicable!" Xiao Changhe looked at him with contempt.

Upon hearing this, many people, including Guan Ning, had their eyes flash. Is this really possible?

Zhao Yi snorted coldly: "That happened so many years ago. You just let me stay for one night. I've already paid you back."

Xiao Changhe was disappointed and turned away.

"Humph, you ungrateful villain, I'm ashamed of your nonsense!"

"I only know that you broke into a private residence and assaulted the Crown Prince without any evidence. If you don't leave, I will report what happened here to His Majesty and let His Majesty make the final decision!"

"I will also write an article to let everyone in the world know what kind of person you, Zhao Yi, are. You received favors from the Guan family, but you took revenge on the poor descendants of the Guan family!" He glared, and although he was old, he was full of anger and had no intention of backing down.

"You!!" Zhao Yi's veins were exposed, but he was obviously a little scared.

"Okay, okay, Xiao Changhe, you're so cruel, let's see what happens!"

As he said this, he turned back and looked at Guan Ning with a wolf-like vicious look: "Little bastard, I'm watching you to death. Don't let me catch you."

"Once I catch you, I will destroy your Guan family forever!"

Throwing down these words, he turned his sleeves with a look of resignation on his face and said, "Let's go!"

"Yes!"

All the officers and soldiers were silent and left quickly. After all, when gods fight, how could mortals dare to say anything?

As soon as the people left, everyone in the Guan Mansion breathed a sigh of relief. Many people hugged each other and cried, feeling lucky that they had escaped the disaster.

Guan Ning stepped forward quickly, and with a completely different attitude from that towards Zhao Yi, he bowed sincerely and politely, "Thank you, Lord Xiao, for rescuing me."

Xiao Changhe looked at Guan Ning with a complicated look, which contained sympathy, guilt, and relief.

He helped Guan Ning up and sighed, "Duke Guan's only son has grown up so big."

"Are you married?"

The moment he asked this question, Xiao Changhe regretted it. Everyone in the capital knew that the Guan family had fallen into decline, and that their only blood descendant, Guan Ning, was also short-lived, suffering from a strange disease and would not live past the age of twenty-five.

Asking someone if they are married or not, isn't that just opening someone's wounds?

He was about to change his words, but Guan Ning smiled indifferently and waved at Qin Yao.

Not far away, Qin Yao adjusted her hair, stepped forward quickly, and bowed: "Greetings, Master Xiao."

"Lord Xiao, this is my wife, she just got married." Guan Ning said with a smile.

Qin Yao, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Guan Ning to introduce her so formally. A blush quickly appeared on her pretty face and tears appeared in her eyes.

Xiao Changhe was stunned for a moment, then smiled amiably, "Hahaha, great, great, a talented man and a beautiful woman, I think they're a perfect match."

"I don't have anything good to give you. Here, these two jade pendants of immortality are given to you two. I hope you will have children soon and have many children."

As he spoke, he handed out two rectangular jade pendants with a warm green color, forming a yin and yang pair. Although they were not expensive, they were extremely exquisite.

Qin Yao blushed and looked at Guan Ning. She didn't dare to respond until the man spoke, and she was not the hostess here.

Guan Ning grinned: "Uncle Xiao, you are too polite."

"You have helped me a lot today. I dare not accept such a valuable gift as your nephew."

This time, he called him Uncle Xiao, because he could feel that this white-haired old man cared about him and was the only old friend of the Guan family who extended a helping hand.
