After packing up, Xie Lingmu went to meet the guests.
The Imperial Preceptor was wearing court uniform and had obviously just left the court and came here without having time to change.
A long-lost niece?
The first thing that came to Xie Lingmu's mind was Nan Qin, but he went to check Nan Qin's life experience. Although he didn't know who his biological father was, how could he be related to the Imperial Master?
Xie Lingmu suppressed the troubles in his heart, put on a gentle smile and walked into the flower pavilion: "It's rude of Lingmu to keep the Imperial Preceptor waiting for so long."
The Imperial Master put down the tea cup in his hand: "It doesn't matter, I came too suddenly. Mr. Xie, my servant should have informed you of my purpose of coming here just now."
"I've reported it. The Imperial Preceptor is here to look for his long-lost niece. Ling Mu has never heard of the Imperial Preceptor that you have a niece, and why is this niece in my Xie Mansion... Among these are
Isn’t there some misunderstanding?”
Xie Lingmu maintained the appearance of a gentle young master, but the flash in his eyes suggested that he wanted to see off a guest.
The Imperial Master smiled heartily and said: "There is no misunderstanding. I have already met this little niece. I am sure that she is the one I am looking for. I also came here today to formally take her back."
Hearing that he had seen her before, Xie Lingmu had an ominous premonition in his heart. He asked tentatively: "The Imperial Master is so sure that I have your niece in my house. Blood relatives must not be mistaken."
"I am very sure. After I went back and did a fortune telling, I became even more sure. Mr. Xie, please invite Miss Nan Qin to come out. She is my little niece."
Xie Lingmu was not surprised when he heard the confirmed name, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
He was in a daze and didn't reply.
The Imperial Master observed his expression, then took out a piece of yellow silk from his sleeve and said: "I have a young brother with bad conduct who lives in the Hongchen Building. He died of illness twelve years ago.
He said he had an heir. I searched a lot but couldn't find him. Now I finally found him. But after all, I owed the girl thirteen years, so I didn't plan to take her back hastily. I wronged her. Your Majesty gave her a generous gift this morning.
My little niece has been enthroned as the County Lord, and the ceremony outside the Xie Mansion is also in accordance with the County Lord's specifications. I plan to take her back in all glory."
The niece of the Imperial Master, just by her status, she must be ranked among the noble ladies.
County head? The second-rank title second only to the princess princess can only be obtained by the daughter of the Zong family. The eldest daughter of the prime minister's family can only get the position of pavilion head if her mother is Mrs. Gaoming.
Xie Lingmu sighed in his heart, no wonder he dared to say that he was leaving, it turned out that he was stubborn.
Even if the imperial master did not unfold the yellow silk cloth, Xie Lingmu knew what it was, an imperial decree, an imperial decree, how dare he not let people go.
Xie Lingmu's expression was very scary. He almost suppressed his voice and said: "Come here, go and invite... the county master."
Not long after, Chen An came over with Nan Qing.
Nan Qing's expression was very calm, and she had obviously known it for a long time. The moment she entered the flower pavilion, she never looked at Xie Lingmu.
She obediently walked to the Imperial Master and said, "Uncle."
"Okay, okay, I've been waiting for this call for more than ten years." The Imperial Master smiled happily. He looked at Xie Lingmu, who had a bad expression on his side: "Master Xie, I've already received you, so I'll take my niece back."
It’s home.”
"Walk slowly."
Xie Lingmu got up and wanted to send her off. He also wanted to approach her and ask her carefully. Are you really going to leave?
However, Nan Qing took the initiative to walk beside the Imperial Master, and Xie Lingmu did not have time to get close to him during the time when he left the mansion to see off.
Xie Lingmu just watched her get on the county lord's ceremonial carriage without looking back.
The team in front of the Xie Mansion left. I believe that after today, the entire capital will know that the Imperial Master has a niece.
Xie Lingmu kept standing at the door, and Chen An didn't dare to make a sound.
I don't know how long I stood there before Xie Lingmu said in a low voice, "She said she likes my face."
Chen An was stunned for a moment, what was the young master talking about?
"Chen An, last night she said she liked me...this face..."
