The carriage slowly stopped at the door of Xu Mansion.

The coachman jumped off the carriage, set up the stools, and opened the curtain. There was only a middle-aged man sitting in the carriage. He took one look at the bustling Xu Mansion gate and got out of the carriage.

The guard at the door had noticed the carriage a long time ago. He thought he was a passer-by and just looked at him warily. Seeing that he had no intention of approaching, he did not drive him away until the people who saw him off came out surrounded by Yu Chun. The middle-aged man standing next to the carriage

Suddenly he walked towards the crowd.

Everyone also noticed his approach and stopped to look at him. It wasn't until he stopped in front of a maidservant who always lowered his head that everyone realized who the stranger was in front of them.

"Niece-in-law, why are you dressed like this?" The visitor put his hands in his sleeves and looked around at everyone present, then looked at the maid and said: "You are going to send me a wedding, so I will also go and have a wedding drink!

"

Only a few people present knew who the visitor was. Yuchun and Yuqiu stared at the visitor with vigilance, not daring to relax. Upon hearing the visitor's words, they turned to look at the maid with her head lowered in surprise, and then

The two of them stood in front of the maidservant in a tacit understanding.

They don't know what Madam is going to do, but protecting Madam is the most important thing now.

Xu Miaoyin slowly raised her head, her eyes full of despair. She looked at Fang Zhiyuan in front of her and laughed at herself. She thought she could escape, but it seemed that it was all in vain.

Fang Zhiyuan looked at the sadness in her eyes and had to sigh that Xu Miaoyin was really beautiful. When she was awake, she had bright and majestic beauty, and when she was confused, she was pitiful and lovable. No wonder his good nephew refused to let go no matter what.

Fang Zhiyuan said with a friendly look on his face: "Why, my nephew-in-law doesn't invite me in to sit down?"

As soon as Fang Zhiyuan finished speaking, Xiao Qi's voice came from the door, "I'm sure you're welcome to visit us."

Xiao Qi strode over, glanced at Xu Miaoyin with complicated eyes, then stood in front of her and confronted Fang Zhiyuan coldly.

"Uncle came all the way, why didn't you tell me in advance?" Xiao Qi said with a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

How could Fang Zhiyuan not know that Xiao Qi did not welcome his arrival, but it was only because he was in front of Xu Miaoyin that he had to act with him.

He just likes to catch him off guard!

Fang Zhiyuan glanced meaningfully at Xu Miaoyin behind Xiao Qi and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I was afraid that you would forget that you still have me as your uncle, so I came over to see you, and also to see those who I haven't met yet."

Niece-in-law."

Xu Miaoyin raised her eyes and looked at Fang Zhiyuan, and saw that this man was looking at her like he was looking at prey. It sent chills down her spine, but at the same time, it gave her a familiar feeling, as if she had seen such a pair of eyes a long time ago.

Xiao Qi turned his body sideways again to block Fang Zhiyuan's sight. Although he was smiling, the warning in his eyes was obvious.

Fang Zhiyuan smiled and did not take Xiao Qi's warning seriously. He did not dare to do anything to him.

Xiao Qi could only follow his wishes.

Xiao Qi was really not sure what kind of tricks Fang Zhiyuan was playing. In order to keep Xu Miaoyin safe and not arouse her suspicion, he had no choice but to be manipulated by Fang Zhiyuan.

Xiao Qi could only compromise and pretended to welcome him, "Uncle is joking. I will never forget uncle if I forget anyone. Please come in."

After saying that, Xiao Qi took Xu Miaoyin's lead and walked towards the gate, and everyone also stepped out of the way.

Fang Zhiyuan always smiled, put his hands behind his back, and walked into the gate of Xu Mansion.

When the three of them walked to the Chuihua Gate, Xiao Qi stopped and said to Fang Zhiyuan: "Uncle, I will send Miaoyin back to the room first, and let Guan Song take you to rest in advance. We will meet again later."

After saying this, Xiao Qi signaled Uncle Song to take Fang Zhiyuan down to rest, and he led Xu Miaoyin back to Lanyin Courtyard without looking back.

Fang Zhiyuan watched Xiao Qi, who was obviously unable to control his anger, walk away, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty's temper has not changed at all!"

It seems that his plan is still very effective. Soon, Xiao Qi will still be his obedient nephew, and no one can control him except his uncle.

Uncle Song lowered his head and did not answer.

It wasn't until Xiao Qi was out of sight that Fang Zhiyuan followed Uncle Song to the courtyard where he was resting.

Xiao Qi was tall and had long legs. Because of his anger, he took very long steps. When he led Xu Miaoyin forward, she couldn't keep up with Xiao Qi's steps. She could only stagger behind him. When she almost fell, Xiao Qi

He pulled her into his arms, and finally half-supported and half-hugged Xu Miaoyin back to Lanyinyuan.

The two entered the inner room, and Xu Miaoyin was thrown onto the bed by Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi was not willing to hurt Xu Miaoyin even in his rage. He just used his skill and did not hurt her. Xu Miaoyin was about to sit up, but Xiao Qi pressed down on her.

Xu Miaoyin wanted to struggle, but Xiao Qi raised his foot and suppressed her flailing legs. Xu Miaoyin used both hands to push him, but he also grabbed his hands and placed them on her head.

The whole person was suppressed by Xiao Qi, and Xu Miaoyin could only pant slightly and glare at the panting man.

Xu Miaoyin was tired, while Xiao Qi was angry.

Xiao Qi looked at the angry-looking Xu Miaoyin below him and almost laughed out of anger, and he did laugh out loud.

"So your obedience these past two days was just for your escape today?"

Xu Miaoyin couldn't control it anymore, all the grievances and anger rushed into her heart, and she growled: "Don't I deserve it? You found someone to pretend to be my father and sister, where did you hide them?"

"

Xiao Qi looked at her in horror, with a flash of panic in his expression. Has she recovered her memory? If she really recovered, would she think that he hid Xu Renian and Xu Jiaoyue?

It could only be that she only noticed the difference between Xu Rennian and Xu Jiaoyue.

So how much does she know?

"When did you find out?" Xiao Qi quickly calmed down and asked in a deep voice.

This time, Xu Miaoyin did not misread Xiao Qi's flash of panic. Was there something else he was hiding from himself that made him calm down as quickly as he breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't answer her question, but only cared about when she discovered it. This double-entendre question was like testing himself.

Xu Miaoyin sneered and asked, "When do you want me to find out?"

Xiao Qi had to admit that Xu Miaoyin was indeed the head of the family who was carefully cultivated by Xu Rennian. As long as her intelligence was not affected by that sad memory, she could know a lot of things from clues.

Fortunately, she only guessed that Xu Rennian and Xu Jiaoyue were fake, but her memory was not restored, so he still had a chance to redeem himself.

But now Fang Zhiyuan came suddenly. He didn't know the purpose of his coming to Yangzhou, but it was not a good thing after all. The most important thing now was to solve Fang Zhiyuan. It would be too late to solve the matter between him and Xu Miaoyin later.

Xiao Qi looked at Xu Miaoyin beneath him. Although her face was angry and her eyes were cold, she was much more alive. She made him feel happy.

Xiao Qi smiled and said softly: "Miaomiao, we will talk about our affairs later. During the period when my uncle is here, you are not allowed to step out of Lanyin Academy. Do you understand?"

Seeing that he was about to change the subject, Xu Miaoyin opened her mouth to say something, but Xiao Qi suddenly lowered his head and kissed her. When she was about to speak, he said: "Don't be anxious now. After he leaves, I will take care of him."

I will tell you the whereabouts of Xu Rennian and Xu Jiaoyue."

After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he stood up and left the inner room, closing the door at the same time. Xu Miaoyin got up and chased after her, but heard the sound of locking the door coming from outside, and Xiao Qi coldly told Yuqiu to keep an eye on her and not let her step out of Lanyin.

Court’s order.

Xu Miaoyin slapped the locked door outside and shouted angrily: "Xiao Qi, let me out, you bastard!"

Xiao Qi just curled up his lips when he heard this, without responding to her, and went straight out of Lanyin Academy.

Xiao Qi didn't have a good expression after leaving Lanyin Academy. Looking at his subordinates who were kneeling in front of him, he really felt that he had been too lenient to them during this period. He didn't even know when Fang Zhiyuan came to Yangzhou.

, no one reported it.

Xiao Qileng looked at them with a stern face, without saying a word, and frightened the people kneeling in the study to the point where they broke out in sweat.

After seeing that it was almost done, Xiao Qicai said casually: "Tell me, what is going on?"

Shadow's Team A was responsible for inquiring about information. Everyone looked at Shadow. Shadow's face was still expressionless, but they didn't know that he also had a chill down his spine and broke out in a cold sweat. This was indeed his dereliction of duty.

The shadow said: "Master, I have indeed not received any news from Yujing about Duke Rong this time. This is a subordinate who has neglected his duty. Please punish me, master."

Xiao Qi lightly clasped his fingers on the armrest, making a regular sound. He lowered his eyes and said softly: "We'll talk about your punishment later. Now let's go check to see if something happened to Yujing. What happened to Qiu Wei?"

It is imperative and there must be no room for error.”

Shadow breathed a sigh of relief and took the order.

The rest of the people listened to the regular clicking sound with their hearts in their throats.

Xiao Qi glanced coldly at the kneeling people, Qiao Zhi, Song Shu, Qin Zhan, Yuchun and Yuqiu, and Xu Jiaoyue who was hiding in the corner. Xiao Qi's eyes stayed on Xu Jiaoyue.

Xu Jiaoyue had tried her best to reduce her sense of presence, but she still felt Xiao Qi's cold and stern gaze that seemed to have substance.

Just listen to Xiao Qi slowly say: "Qiao Zhi, what did you promise me before?" Xiao Qi turned his eyes to Qiao Zhi, lightly clasped the armrest with his right hand and supported his head, looking straight at him.

Qiao Zhi also had a stern face, no longer as lively as before. Knowing that he had disappointed his master during this period, he did not defend himself, but kowtowed to the ground and waited for his master's decision.

Seeing him like this, Uncle Song couldn't bear it, so he began to plead for Qiao Zhi: "Master, I really don't blame Qiao Zhi this time. Madam is smart, and even if she deliberately tests him, it's hard to guard against him! Please forgive him this time, Master!"

Yuqiu felt distressed when she saw her brother like this, so she also bowed her head to the ground and said, "Master, please spare me this time!"

Yuchun also stepped forward to plead for mercy.

So except for Xu Jiaoyue, the other people kowtowed to Xiao Qi to plead for mercy.

Xiao Qi looked at Xu Jiaoyue, who was pretending to be a quail, and said: "Qin Zhan, detain Xu Jiaoyue and put him in a dungeon. I will interrogate him later."

Qin Zhan was shocked when he heard this and looked up at Xiao Qi. He was about to help Xu Jiaoyue explain a few words, but was blocked by Xiao Qi's cold eyes.

But at this time, Yuqiu said: "Master, Madam said she wanted to see Xu Jiaoyue and asked me to take her to Lanyin Academy!"

Xiao Qi narrowed his eyes when he heard this and said nothing more. He just looked at Xu Jiaoyue.

Yuqiu saw that Xiao Qi did not embarrass Xu Jiaoyue any more, and boldly spoke again: "My wife also said that the master should not hurt my brother and Xu Jiaoyue."

Xiao Qi glanced at Yuqiu and said coldly: "Yuqiu, if I find out that what you said is false, you know what the consequences will be."

Yuqiu kowtowed: "I don't dare!"
