After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Wen Yan's pupils trembled. "Her?!"

Everyone knows that Xie Mingzhu is a descendant of the previous dynasty, but Wen Yan did not expect that Luo Hanfeng would be so bold as to bring her to the Wen family!

"Are you crazy?"

Wen Yan's expression changed drastically. He quickly sent someone to close the door and walked up to Xie Mingzhu.

Xie Mingzhu was frightened by him and hid behind Luo Hanfeng.

Luo Hanfeng touched Xie Mingzhu's hand to comfort her.

He said, "Doesn't her presence explain everything?"

Wen Yan stared at Luo Hanfeng in shock.

He glanced at Xie Mingzhu, who was relying on Luo Hanfeng and hiding behind him, and then laughed: "I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You're a madman, but you always succeed."

He sat down again and asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Luo Hanfeng said, "Arrange an identity for her, and then take in those soldiers."

"Oh right, I forgot to mention," Luo Hanfeng said, tapping his finger on the table. "The Yin family also has dealings with these remnants of the previous dynasty."

"The Yin family? The Yin family from the Four Great Families?" Wen Yan looked at Jun Lanjin with a puzzled expression.

Jun Lanjin nodded and said, "Yes."

Wen Yan smiled and said, "Didn't Jun Lanjin arrest half of these soldiers? Don't you think no one will confess?"

"So, the Yin family is doomed?"

To support the remnants of the previous dynasty in front of the emperor would be tantamount to harboring rebellious intentions.

“No, no one dares to say.” Luo Hanfeng curled his lips. “There weren’t many people who knew about this to begin with, and those people had already escaped that night. The only ones we could catch were some clueless pawns.”

Even if Jun Lanjin knew, he only knew, but had no evidence.

The Yin family is large and powerful; how could they be so easily brought down?

He has always kept his cards open with Junlan Jin.

Even though the cards were out in the open, he still dared not act rashly, because he didn't know what kind of conspiracy was hidden beneath these layers of appearances.

He was unaware that Luo Hanfeng had prepared a grand gift for him.

Wen Yan looked at him and asked, "So, what are your plans?"

Luo Hanfeng said, "After arranging a new identity for her, I will naturally return to the palace."

He slowly raised his eyes, a dark cloud hidden beneath his light brown pupils.

He said, "Of course I want to get back what I lost some time ago."

.........

The next day.

On his way out of the palace, the emperor happened to encounter a group of assassins chasing a disheveled young man.

The boy fell to the ground, right under the emperor's palanquin.

When everyone went to look, they discovered that the person was none other than the long-unseen Seventh Prince!

The seventh prince was covered in fatal wounds. He raised his head and, upon seeing that it was the emperor's palanquin, breathed a sigh of relief. He then tremblingly reached out his hand and pleaded, "Father, save me!"

"The Xie family, along with the Southern Kingdom, are going to kill me!"

After saying that, Luo Hanfeng fainted from exhaustion.

Upon hearing this, the Chu Emperor, seated in his sedan chair, immediately lifted the curtain. When his gaze fell upon Luo Hanfeng, his pupils constricted: "Quickly! Save him for me!"

……

at this time--

Xie family.

When Xie Ansheng learned that Xie Yuze had not brought back the tiger tally, he was extremely anxious.

"Are you stupid? Why didn't you bring the tiger tally back?"

The old lady of the Xie family leaned on her cane, looked at Xie Yuhe, and asked, "Eldest son, tell me, what is the reason for this?"

"Could it be because Xie Xing is unwilling to hand over the Tiger Tally?"

Xie Yuhe shook his head and said, "Grandmother, it's not because of this issue, but because Xie Xing said that after producing the Tiger Tally, he would sever ties with us."

"What?!" Madam Xie reacted the most strongly. She rushed to Xie Yuhe's side, her face deathly pale. "She wants to sever ties with us? Why would she want to sever ties with us?!"

"Haven't we already figured things out and decided to start treating her better?"

Xie Yuhe's expression was solemn. He said, "Firstly, we have already broken her heart. Secondly, it's because the eldest and second eldest sons of the Song family have achieved success, and their parents are about to move to the capital."

"Xie Xing's adoptive parents treated her like their own daughter, several times better than we did. Therefore, she wants to leave us and go to the Song family."

"Nonsense!" Xie Ansheng slammed his hand on the table and said, "No matter what, the Xie family has a strong foundation. How could we be inferior to a small Song family?"

Xie Yuze sat to the side, seemingly unconcerned about the matter.

He said, "Going to the Song family is fine, but severing ties is not."

Madam Xie glared at Xie Yuze: "What's wrong with you? That's your own sister. How can you send her back to the Song family? What kind of behavior is that?"

"Mother," Xie Yuze said helplessly, "You all know how we've treated Xie Xing. If Xie Mingzhu's true identity hadn't been kept secret, and you hadn't been unable to hear Xie Xing's inner thoughts and glean important information from him, would you still be so regretful today?"

The answer is no.

In his previous life, Xie Xing was unreasonable. Even after the eldest and second eldest sons of the Xie family died and he became paralyzed, Xie Mingzhu was still the apple of the Xie family's eye.

They placed all their affection on Xie Mingzhu, ignoring Xie Xing completely.

Even without experiencing what followed, he still cherished Xie Mingzhu the most.

Belated affection is worth less than grass.

Talking is no substitute for taking action.

Xie Yuze felt that he owed Xie Xing the most.

Xie Yuhe glanced at Xie Yuze, then lowered his eyes: "Third brother is right. If it weren't for these things, we really wouldn't have noticed Xie Xing."

"To us, Xie Xing is nothing more than an insignificant bloodline."

Madam Xie disagreed, saying, "How can it be insignificant?!"

With tears in her eyes, Madam Xie said, "She is the daughter I carried for ten months, the daughter I gave birth to with half my life. She is half my life. How can I just sever ties with her like that?"

"She hasn't repaid the debt of giving birth to me yet, how can we sever ties with her?"

Xie Yuhe glanced at Madam Xie and said, "Mother, if you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"

The whole family tried to persuade Madam Xie, but she was like a runaway horse that couldn't be pulled back no matter what they did.

He rubbed the goose's head and said, "Our Xie family does owe Xie Xing a debt, but whether it's her own feelings, the fate of our Xie family resting on her shoulders, or because she is our own sister, she cannot go to the Song family now."

“First of all, we are not the only ones who can hear her thoughts, but also Jun Lanjin and Luo Hanfeng, including the three Song brothers.”

"It's unknown what they will do because of Xie Xing's feelings."

“Sending Xie Xing to the Song family would not only implicate innocent people, but also cause things to happen in a way that is beyond our control.”

"Whether it's for Xie Xing's sake or for the Xie family's sake, we cannot sever ties with her."
