Before the visitor revealed Xiao Mu's identity, Xiao Mu had already recognized that the visitor was Su Lexian, the Marquis of Ding'an House.
Haha, it’s interesting to chase my wife into this ravine.
Xiao Mu raised his eyes. At this moment, Mr. Su also revealed Xiao Mu's identity: "Aren't you the young master of the Cheng Wang family?"
Xiao Mu did not deny it.
When the old lady came, he was already prepared to be recognized. However, the old lady's eyesight was not very good. Although she had doubts, since the young master had died in the fire, she only felt that she had seen it wrong. .
But this Marquis is different.
First, he has very good eyesight.
Secondly, he has a good relationship with King Cheng and is very familiar with King Cheng's appearance.
Xiao Mu, whose appearance is 90% similar to King Cheng, can be confirmed with just one glance.
"Why are you here?" Hou Ding'an asked.
"I have lived here since I was a child. My parents and my family are here. If I were not here, where could I be?"
Both of their voices were calm, but the people around them were very shocked.
The guards following the prince had also seen strong winds and waves. They never expected that in such an inconspicuous mountain village, they could not only see tigers but also the young master of the prince's family.
Xiao Song could not suppress the shock in his eyes.
Didn't dad say that Xiao Mu is the son of an old friend of his? How did he become the prince's son?
He has been calling the prince's son a brother!
Following the sound of their conversation, other members of the Xiao family also walked to the door.
The old lady recognized the Marquis at a glance.
The expression on his face was not surprise, but resistance.
"Why are you here? Didn't I send someone to tell you? I'll go back when I've had enough of living here!"
The Marquis saw a smile appear on the old lady's face for the first time: "Madam, you have not been out for a long time. It's time to return to Beijing."
"Whether I go back or not will have any impact on you. Anyway, what you are thinking about is the current Holy Emperor, and what is on your mind is the affairs of the court. What difference does it make to you with or without me?"
"How come there is no difference?" Mr. Hou showed a guilty expression.
"When Madam is away, I have trouble sleeping and eating."
"I think she is living too peacefully and is a little uncomfortable with it." The old lady was obviously not coaxed by the Marquis's words.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was a bit awkward, Xu Zhengxiang stood up and said: "Master Hou is here. Everyone, please stop standing at the door. Please sit down in the room. Please sit down in the room."
Looking at the villagers watching the fun not far away, the old lady said nothing, turned her head and returned to her room.
The Marquis also followed closely and followed in.
The two of them closed the door tightly as they entered.
Several maids remained outside.
A group of guards also stayed in the courtyard, lining up in a row and guarding the door very consciously.
The situation seems tense.
The Xiao family also stared at that room, wondering what would happen inside.
After a while, the old lady and the Marquis both walked out of the house.
The color on the old lady's face was not pretty, but it was much lighter than before.
The Marquis has a smile on his face, but if you look closely, you can see that there seems to be a little dust on the knees of his robe.
"Let everyone laugh." The old lady said.
"This is my Marquis, you don't have to be afraid."
"Okay, okay."
The originally tense atmosphere collapsed instantly.
Facing the distinguished guest Xu Zhengxiang, I was a little at a loss, but fortunately, I had become familiar with the old lady these days, so my legs were not so frightened when I faced the Marquis.
"The Marquis has come a long way, please sit down and rest quickly. I will quickly cook two dishes to welcome the Marquis."
"Stop being busy now," the old lady said.
"As the Romans do, he is a Marquis in Beijing, and here he is Luo Xin's grandfather. Aren't we going to have hot pot tonight? Just follow the original preparations and just have an extra pair of chopsticks."
Hearing what the old lady said, the Marquis also said, "Well, just do what the lady wants."
He also wanted to get along with these people like his wife, but after all, he had been an official for a long time, and no matter what he said, he always had this commanding tone.
Xu Zhengxiang hurried down to prepare the dishes.
The Marquis moved his gaze to Ye Luoxin.
The little girl was thin and small, and looked very much like her deceased daughter. Even her smart eyes and stubborn expression on her face looked exactly the same.
After so many years, Mr. Hou originally thought that he would never be able to remember his daughter again.
But it wasn't until he met Ye Luoxin that he realized that his daughter's appearance had always been in her heart and she had never forgotten it.
"Are you Luo Xin?" Mr. Hou said.
Ye Luoxin didn't feel scared and stepped forward and saluted: "Master Hou."
Mr. Su looked unhappy when he heard this. He turned to look at the old lady: "Look at her. Look at how different she is from me."
The old lady didn't feel anything was wrong at all.
He smiled and looked at Ye Luoxin: "My child has not seen you for more than ten years and has long forgotten what you look like. Isn't it right to be separated from you?"
"Go and get the porcelain bottles and famous paintings I brought from the car!" Mr. Su ordered his men.
After receiving the order, his men immediately ran out and took down three large boxes and five scrolls from the car.
The men put these things on the table.
Mr. Su personally stepped forward, opened one of the boxes, and pointed it out to Ye Luoxin: "Look, this is your favorite porcelain vase with red plums and falling snow when you were a child. The pair I collected were broken by you. You I cried for a long time, I later ordered people to go to Jiangnan to find it."
After saying that, he opened another box: "There is also this. This mutton-fat jade bottle was kept in front of the Buddhist altar by our family. When you were a child, you had to have it, and your mother beat you up because of it."
At this point, the Marquis paused and said, "I have been regretting it all these years. It's just a bottle. Why hurt the relationship between your mother and you because of this?"
Ye Luoxin's eyes were a little hot.
She has no memory of what the Marquis said.
But the old man talked about it as if those things happened yesterday.
Perhaps, he repeated it thousands of times in his mind, and finally said it until today.
"Grandpa, my mother and I have no hurt feelings over this matter."
The man was gone, and Ye Luoxin didn't know what he should say.
I just hope that this can reduce some of the guilt of the old man in front of me.
