Ruan Fujing is a bit embarrassed as a guest. Dad, why don't you listen to your own voice first?
Fortunately, Xie Yixia had a virtuous mind, so she smiled and handed over to her sister-in-law's brother-in-law.
Xie Lan'an said hurriedly: "Uncle, don't be upset, uncle, don't blame me, it's Lan'an's fault. It's my first time to meet my uncle and my cousin, it's not polite to be in a hurry, please ask the elders to sit down and tolerate me..."
"Good boy, don't be busy. Zhu family, right?" Ruan Houxiong heard something when he entered the hospital. He held up the little girl's arm and said with a cold smile, "His ancestor was only a minor official in the Wu Kingdom Navy during the holiday, and he dared to bully People of the Ruan family, this is a good thing. I will go to the Zhu Mansion to wait for the old boy to go to court, Fu Jing! I will talk to my cousin. "
He entered Xie's Mansion by land, boat, and car. Without drinking a sip of tea, he turned around and strode away, looking for the dog who impeached his niece with an air of seeking revenge.
Except for Ruan Fujing, who has become accustomed to it, several young people were secretly surprised that Lan'an's uncle... turned out to be so heroic.
Xie Lan'an was used to being alone, and it was the first time she was protected like this. Looking at Ruan Houxiong's leaving figure, a few rays of warmth washed through the hard ice in her heart, which could not melt away, leaving a gurgle of sour teeth.
She remembered that the ancestors of the Ruan family had served as the commander-in-chief of the navy of the Kingdom of Wu. The two Huanglong battleships anchored in Baishui Stream were dedicated to the imperial court by the Ruan family.
People from the south are said to be weak, but people with Jiangnan surnames also have a strong and brave spirit.
Xie Yixia praised "a sweetheart" and took in Xie Lanan's various thoughts from the corner of her eye. She turned around and asked the husband of the Ruan family to relax in the house. Then she looked back at her eldest niece with a smile and said, "Come in with me and talk."
Xie Lanan nodded. She had never wanted to hide this from her second uncle.
Before taking a step, she said to Ruan Fujing, whom she met for the first time: "Cousin, please wait a moment. I will take you to visit Jinling City when you are free."
Ruan Fujing had been paying attention to her, and he was worried that Mr. Xie would cause trouble, and his father was not around, so he couldn't help but step forward to stop her.
Xie Ce took a step at the same time and stood in front of the tall Ruan Fujing.
The uncle and nephew went to the study, and Xie Ce smiled politely and said, "Mr. Ruan is rarely seen. Why don't you take Mr. Ruan to visit our house first?"
Ruan Fujing kept his gaze on the back of the snow-clad figure, "Mr. Xie, I have heard of you for a long time. There is no need to visit. If Mrs. Xie cannot tolerate my aunt and cousin, I, Mrs. Ruan, will take them back to Wu County and support them in the same way." "
"Lan'an is from the Xie family."
When Xie Ce said this, he gave in, with a hint of helplessness in his smile, "Actually, Mr. Ruan doesn't have to worry about the Xie family not being able to accommodate Lan An. It's better to worry about Amei... she can't tolerate the Xie family."
As soon as Ruan Fujing came to Beijing, he heard about the news of the Xie family elder committing suicide. At this time, he smiled proudly: "This is the Ruan family's family tradition."
Xie Ce begs to differ.
Who did my father hold in his lap and kiss the most when he was a child? It's not him, nor his younger brothers and sisters, it's Lan An.

As soon as the door of the study room with the name Xin Ping Zhai on the plaque was closed, the smile on Xie Yixia's face disappeared, "How did Xie Xinyi die?"
The person who became the leader of Xiongzhou seemed to be elegant and casual, but the look he shot at Xie Lanan was actually striking.
He didn't ask her about the secret of her life experience when she disguised herself as a man. It was obvious at a glance, so there was no need to ask again.
Xie Lanan stood at the head and made no secret. He explained everything about Fuling Tongshan to his second uncle.
After hearing the whole story, Xie Yixia's eyes were shocked, and her knuckles holding the tail turned green and white.
Xie Lanan had already collected evidence, including the list of murdered miners that had been filled in after many investigations in the previous life. She called Shan Bo and asked him to take them from her room and present them one by one to her second uncle.
After getting the evidence, Xie Yixia held it in hand and did not move.
How could he not know how capable his nephew was that he had taught himself? Since Xie Lanan said that Uncle Wu had committed a heinous crime, it would not be without purpose.
"So," the man slowly raised his head, his well-maintained face still worthy of a sentence, "you're going to force him to die?"
Xie Lan'an's voice was calm: "My nephew knows that when dealing with private matters, big noble families always fold their arms into their sleeves. When the younger ones get into trouble, they look for the older ones to protect them. When the older ones commit crimes, they attract the support of their ancestors. The Jinfen Family , so lush and prosperous.
"But Second Uncle, my family's reputation is of course important - for ten million dollars, they dare to buy a hundred lives for ten million dollars. Do you think this is something that can be hidden from each other?"
She couldn't figure this out in her previous life. She was afraid that the Xie family that had been passed down to her would be destroyed by her own hands, so she hesitated and even made a big mistake.
"I know." Xie Yixia pinched the bridge of her nose, "This matter is not trivial. Since you have made the decision and Xie Xinyi has confessed, here you go——"
"It can't be stopped." Xie Lanan's tone was very calm, and his eyes were unyielding, "Second uncle, fifth uncle's lineage must be removed from the Xie family tree. When the time is right, I will tell the world about this and take responsibility for the Xie family. Give justice to those innocent victims. Then use Fifth Uncle’s private treasury and the Yuan family’s wealth to subsidize the descendants of those miners.”
Xie Yixia almost burned her throat when she took a sip of hot tea. If nothing else, she was shocked by the words "tell the world".
He seemed to mumble about his little enemy, coughing and raising his deep eye creases: "Is it necessary?"
Xie Lanan nodded: "It must be so."
If one person can be found guilty, the whole family can feel at ease, then what is the difference between her and the hypocritical and sinister fifth uncle? These more than a hundred lives are engraved on the foreheads of the entire Xie family and the Yuan family, and no one can even think of denying them.
She is not bad, and the former head of the family should not think that he can escape. It's just that the current situation in Beijing is still turbulent, so it's not the best time to show guilt.
Xie Yixia was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "I heard that your mother was grounded by you?"
Xie Lan'an hesitated for a moment, and Xie Yixia continued: "You forced the patriarch to death, provoked the Yuan family, put my mother under house arrest, and even controlled the temper of the third child. You used thunderous means to secure your position as the head of the Xie family, and then you also What are you planning to do?"
Xie Lanan was silent for a moment, then smiled abruptly, "If my second uncle doesn't kick me out after today, the Queen Mother's decree will arrive tomorrow."
"I want to take refuge with the Queen Mother and interfere with the affairs of the court." Xie Yixia smiled and nodded, "It seems that a great character has appeared in my family. Should I rush? Do I dare? Do you think I don't agree? You also have a way to remove me from the family. The name is removed from the genealogy? Where is the ancestral motto? Xie Hanling, did you eat up the Xie family's family motto not to participate in party strife? "
Xie Lan'an: "The monarch is young, and the conflicts between his relatives and the aristocratic family are getting more and more intense. The Xie family is not dependent on each other, but they have a profound background. Can they live in peace? My second uncle is in Jingzhou and has military power. He should understand that under the situation of stalemate, the tree wants to be quiet. And the reason why the wind doesn’t stop.”
Xie Yixia: "With one more you, can we break the current situation in Jinling?"
Xie Lan'an: "It's up to heaven to succeed, and it's up to people to plan things. The Southern Dynasty has been in chaos for a long time, and the disadvantages are waiting to be eliminated. There are also Northern invaders who are coveting me across the river, waiting for my opportunity. The Central Plains has been lost for a long time, and it is our generation! Only by taking the initiative to enter the world, Only then can we hope to expel the barbarians."
"I see."
Xie Yixia stared at the heroic girl in front of her, and the distant smile hidden in her eyes finally emerged. It was no different from when he admired this most outstanding junior in the clan before, "So, you want to do a man's business as a woman."
Unexpectedly, Xie Lan'an shook his head, "A man's business? Second uncle is wrong. I am a woman. Everything I do and everything I achieve is just 'my business'."
Xie Yixia had a good time: "Then have you ever thought that the reason why you are who you are today is because you have received the teachings and training of sons and daughters from aristocratic families since you were young, and you use the path and thinking of men in dealing with things. Even if you succeed in your career in the future, It is nothing more than an indirect proof of a man’s ability, but it cannot prove by itself that a woman can achieve something.”
This is a contradictory dilemma that only belongs to Xie Hanling.
Everyone can easily know who they are, except Xie Hanling, who has been trapped in ambiguous barriers for nineteen years.
Xie Lanan did not hesitate for a moment, and a smile escaped from his lips: "Second uncle is wrong again. People are divided into men and women. How can training and learning methods be divided into men and women? I can't help but dress up as a man, but it can't change that I am a woman. Fact. Since I have achieved what I have achieved today as a woman, then this ability is mine."
Her voice was as clear as quicksand, and her eyes were bright: "Also, it's not that girls are not suitable for the so-called aristocratic family's method of training heirs, but the world has never given them the same education and experience as men. Opportunity."
The world limits women's ambitions and imagination of success.
It doesn't matter, someone will let them see it.
"Using a horse to describe a horse is not a horse, just as using a non-horse to describe a horse is not a horse.*" Xie Yixia nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that you already know who you are."
He finished the exam, stood up with a smile, and his flowing sleeves brushed the green jade pendant around his waist.
Xie Yixia stared at the young girl's distant and dazzling expression, and felt that at this moment, she seemed to have drawn a sword from its sheath and never looked back.
"Then go and follow the path that you think is right. Second uncle has only one request, don't let the Xie family be in chaos."
"As long as I'm here, there won't be any chaos."
Xie Yixia laughed out loud. It had been a long time since she had seen such a proud and arrogant attitude among young people. If you were to put it on the cautious A-Lan before, she wouldn't be able to say this to her even if she were killed.
This also gave Xie Yixia the illusion that he was not talking to a girl under twenty years old.
Her changes, the indifference of an outsider that she inadvertently revealed, as if she were a person stripped of all emotions and desires, looking down at the world from a very high place, made him, the governor of Jingzhou, occasionally frightened.
In fact, this is the result of Xie Lanan's reservations.
There were still some things she could not tell her second uncle.
She has been wandering in the Netherworld for too long, and she knows the fate of everyone she meets, and she knows the outcome of Daxuan being changed into different dynasties. The Suzaku is on fire, the Jinling Palace collapses, the smoke rises and disappears, the heroes compete, Han and Hu fight, Han and Hu mix...
When she first died, she hated Chu Qingyuan, her fifth uncle, her mother who refused to live, and most of all, herself for being blind. After seeing the tragic death of millions of people, she only regretted that her robe had not been opened and her achievements had not been realized in her entire life.
During those chaotic years, one thought became deeper and deeper in her mind: She was responsible for the destruction of the Daxuan Kingdom.
She was unjustly called the number one person in Jinling. She could have used her abilities to do a lot for the people, but due to the admonitions of her ancestors and her own limitations, she was blinded and devoted herself to supporting others, but she did nothing herself.
Just because a woman can't compete with a man, she doesn't compete.
A complete defeat, a grievance, and a mountain ghost.
If she couldn't change Hu Ti's fate of going south to kill in this life, what would she do with her new life?
In Xie Lanan's eyes, the world that has not yet been broken is just a chess piece waiting for her to make a move.
Did the smug Empress Dowager Yu think she was destined to win? That was just one of her pawns.
"Second uncle, please give up the five-stone ring."
