Xuan Se was also shocked. She was tongue-tied for a long time before she smiled gloomily and said,"I didn't expect Junior Sister Qiao to know my father. I thought that no one would remember him.”
"How could that be?" I raised my eyebrows slightly." My father often talked about Lord Liu. He wished he could imitate his actions and was very respectful of him.”
Xuan Se was delighted and a smile appeared on her face. She said,""I didn't expect Lord Qiao to be so generous. Please thank him on behalf of us.”
"Hmph!" Xuan Yue snorted coldly and said,"Who doesn't know how to make sarcastic remarks? When something happened, wasn't this Lord Qiao or Lord Lu still hiding in the residence and not daring to come out to meet people?”
Wretched girl, would it kill you to speak less? I decided to ignore her and said to Xuan Se,""Senior Brother, after your father passed away, did you encounter some trouble that caused you to be in such a sorry state?”
Xuan Se sighed and said," That's right. After my father passed away, the imperial court issued an edict to confiscate my family and banish me to the frontier fortress." My family was originally poor. Other than a few calligraphy and paintings, there was nothing valuable. When the officials saw that there was no money to be made, they caught me and beat me up. Alas, it's a pity that I'm a weak scholar. How can I resist? He spat out a few mouthfuls of blood on the spot.”
"Ah!" I exclaimed and frowned." What happened next?”
" It's all thanks to Xiao Yue," Xuan Se continued." She saw that I was on the verge of death and couldn't help but attack. She beat the soldiers away and brought me out of the capital." However, although my life was saved, I became a wanted criminal who defied the imperial edict and beat up an official. Later, we took refuge in various rural areas. When we reached Xinye, we met Hua Tuo who was practicing medicine. He appreciated us and took us in as his disciples. When I entered the capital this time, I was recognized by a few of my father's colleagues. This time, I was in trouble. In order not to implicate Master, I could only escape with Xiao Yue that night and hide.”
"I see." Hearing this, I finally had a general understanding of the cause and effect of this matter. However, there were still a few small problems…
"Senior Brother, I don't understand one thing. According to the laws of the imperial court, the daughter of a criminal should also be demoted to lowly status. Your sister…"
"Ah, I didn't make myself clear." Xuan Se glanced at Xuan Yue, who still had an unfriendly expression on her face." Xiao Yue is the daughter of a hero in Jianghu. She has been learning martial arts since she was young. However, this hero died early and entrusted Xiao Yue to his father. Therefore, Xiao Yue was only his father's adopted daughter, not his biological daughter, so she was not implicated.”
"Oh ~" I glanced at Xuan Yue and stuck my tongue out at her when she wasn't paying attention.
Xuan Yue immediately jumped up." Qiao Xiyan, what do you mean?!" Are you looking down on me because I'm from the martial arts world?”
Xuan Se glared at her and said,""Xiaoyue, don't be rude!"
Xuan Yue glared at me fiercely, then at Xuan Se. She probably had an intense mental struggle before she finally let out a muffled mumble. She raised her head arrogantly and looked out the window.
I smiled smugly. Be angry, be angry. It's best if you get wrinkles from anger. Who asked you to doubt my noble sentiments?
I turned to Xuan Se." There's another problem. When I came here just now, your sister made things difficult for me in every possible way. She said that I was ungrateful." However, I don't remember you looking for me, Senior Brother. When did this happen?”
Xuan Se recalled for a moment and said,"This is probably not long after Master left the capital." Xiaoyue and I hid here and there, but it wasn't a long-term solution. In any case, it was no longer the Ten Generals who held power in the capital. From Grand Preceptor Dong's point of view, his father was not considered to have committed any heinous crimes. On the contrary, he had the same thoughts as him. Perhaps he could overturn the case under his hands. However, my father's colleagues back then are all avoiding me now. How can they still help me? Xiao Yue and I visited a few lords and were almost surrounded again. Lord Qiao should be one of them.”
I was stunned for a moment and muttered," This is impossible. If my father heard that Lord Liu's son had come to seek refuge, he would definitely welcome you into the residence happily and try his best to help you get rid of your crimes. How could he ignore you?”
Xuan Yue had been standing by the window, but her ears were still pricked up to eavesdrop. After hearing what I said, he finally couldn't help but turn around and curse,"Would my brother lie to you? Stop pretending to be a good person."
I thought about it and still felt that it was impossible. How could I not know what kind of person Sir Qiao is? He couldn't do such a thing, and he didn't care about it.
"Senior Brother, what did you say to the servant guarding my house?" I asked.”
" Well…I don't know what Master Qiao's attitude is like," Xuan Se said." I can't tell you my identity. I just thought that if I could see you first and explain things clearly, then you could explain it to Master Qiao. Maybe he would listen to me more, so…"
"So you said that you're my senior brother and you want to find me instead of my father?”
I finished speaking for him. Seeing him nod his head, I almost choked with anger. Did this Senior Brother Xuan Se's brain get damaged from studying? It was simply a gut that went all the way to the end, not even turning a corner. Thinking about it, I followed Hua Tuo all over the capital a while ago, and Mrs. Qiao was already afraid that I would secretly marry someone else outside and do something that didn't conform to the boudoir system. Furthermore, Xuan Se had recklessly barged into the room. It would be strange if Mrs. Qiao did not suspect him. How could she possibly let him in?
" Sigh…" I sighed.
Even Xuan Yue understood what was going on. She stared at Xuan Se in disbelief and said,"Brother, are you serious? You, you…"
Xuan Se was obviously frightened by us. She asked awkwardly,"What's wrong?"
" Brother, if you rush over like this, people will think that you're having an affair with this unattractive and immoral Second Miss. Wouldn't your reputation be ruined?" Xuan Yue said.”
What the hell was this? I almost jumped up too. I think you're the rude and barbaric woman. Which man will dare to marry you in the future? I took a deep breath and used all of my self-control to calm myself down. I still maintained the calm posture of a rich young lady. At this time, the more cultured I am, the more depressed she will be!
Sure enough, seeing that I was ignoring her, Xuan Yue had nowhere to vent her anger. She could only swallow it back. That expression was as if she had eaten a fly. It was extremely interesting!
Xuan Se knocked her head with her hand and said in annoyance,""Why didn't I think of that? Sigh, it seems that I was indeed thoughtless and messed things up.”
I quickly said," Senior Brother, don't blame yourself. Now that I know about this matter, I can't just ignore it. When I go back and discuss it with my father, I'll definitely do my best to help Senior Brother."”
"This…I'll have to trouble you, Sir Qiao…" Xuan Se said.
I smiled and was about to say something when Mystic Moon appeared from the side and said,"Brother, don't believe her sweet words. Once she returns to the Qiao Mansion, she'll forget everything. It would be better to detain her here and call that lord of the Qiao family to redeem her. If you don't agree to the conditions, we won't let her go!”--
It was embarrassing to say that he had lost miserably in a typing speed competition…
