The scene was silent for a moment.
Seeing that Xiao Yan was silent, Rong Yue couldn't help but look at him: "Isn't Governor Xiao unwilling?"
As if she thought of something, she said: "I don't mean anything else, I just think you treat Tang Ning well, and we can't repay you. Governor Xiao and Tang Ning will hold an acknowledgment banquet, and everyone in Beijing will know about it from now on." You are her brother, and you can be considered half of the family."
She was truly grateful to Xiao Yan for his protection during these days, and also grateful for how well he treated Tang Ning. If it hadn't been for him, both she and Tang Ning would still be stuck in the quagmire.
Rongyue has a clear grudge and wants to repay Xiao Yan, but with Xiao Yan's current status, he lacks nothing. The only thing Rongyue can think of is to leave a "kinship" for him.
If he is half of the Rong family, the descendants of the Rong family will recognize him as their elder in the future. Even if he is an eunuch, he will be able to get a share of incense a hundred years later.
Xiao Yan was so smart that he naturally understood the deep meaning of Rongyue's words. Although he was a little helpless, his eyes finally softened.
"Thank you madam for your kindness, but Tang Ning and I don't use these false etiquette. You are Tang Ning's elder. As long as you are willing to recognize me, I will be part of the Rong family."
Rong Yue was moved: "But..."
She always felt that it was not formal enough.
Facing Rong Yue who sincerely cared for him, Xiao Yan's always evil heart rarely showed a hint of guilt: "Right now, there is chaos in the capital, and the matter between the Lu family and Prince Cheng has not been resolved yet. I am in the whirlpool of the court, so many There is a last resort.”
"Madam is also aware of the remarks made about me outside. I don't want to tarnish the reputation of Taifu and the Rong family by being called a treacherous person. For now, this is already good."
He lowered his eyes slightly, but finally decided.
"The relationship between me and Tang Ning is all about our hearts. One day when there are no more dirty words outside, I will enter the Rong family openly and openly. Then it will be fine if Madam doesn't find me disgusted."
Xiao Yan's appearance was already very good, but he used to have a strong aura and looked ruthless and cold. Now when he lowered his head slightly and narrowed his eyebrows, he looked particularly obedient, and his face that was mixed with dignity and coldness suddenly became a bit brighter. Youthful feeling.
Rong Yue recalled in a daze that the powerful minister in front of him, who boasted unparalleled strategies in the court, was only a young man in his twenties.
Seeing that he was always worried about Tang Ning and the Rong family, Rong Yue was moved: "Tang Ning is so virtuous and talented that he can have such a good brother like you."
Xiao Yan whispered: "What virtues and abilities do I have?"
What a wonderful little crabapple.
Seeing his humility, Rong Yue looked at him more closely.
Seeing the newly promoted Mrs. Rong Guo next to her, she looked like she was about to rip her heart out towards Xiao Yan. She had no idea that this person in front of her was about to take advantage of her little cabbage.
Madam Qin couldn't help but turned her head away in silence, unable to see Xiao Yan pretending to be so clever.
Jinyun covered his chest without leaving a trace: his conscience seemed to hurt a little.
…
When Tang Ning changed her clothes and came over, she found that her aunt treated Xiao Yan better. It wasn't that she was not as good as before. It was just that her aunt was a female relative. In the past, she usually kept a distance when talking to Xiao Yan, but now she was sitting opposite her. Xiao Yanshi, who was beside him, was full of intimacy.
"Tang Ning is here?" Seeing her, Rongyue immediately smiled and said, "What are you looking at? Are you standing there and not coming over?"
"Nothing, what did aunt and brother say?" Tang Ning came closer.
Xiao Yan said warmly: "Tell us about going out later."
Rong Yue took Tang Ning's hand and said with a smile: "President Xiao said that several caravans from the south came back a few days ago and brought back many rare things. You have been worrying about our affairs during this time and have no time to spare. , just go out with him to walk around and relax."
Tang Ning blinked and looked at Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan smiled, turned his head and said gently, "Why don't you, Madam, come too?"
"I won't go."
Rongyue's health was not good, and she was tired of going to the palace today. She said, "You go and play, I'll talk to Madam Qin."
Tang Ning said: "Then I will take Aru with me..."
Rong Yue laughed: "Don't bring it, Aru said he wanted to see how Mrs. Qin concocts the medicinal ingredients, so he went to the kitchen."
When Tang Ning was not here just now, Xue Ru had already come here. She seemed very surprised to see Xiao Yan here. Her little face that was still smiling suddenly turned away and looked particularly reserved.
Rong Yue liked Xue Ru's child, and also mentioned that Xiao Yan wanted to take Tang Ning out of the house and let her play with him, but after hearing this, the little girl waved her hands repeatedly, wishing that her head would turn into a string of elm coins.
Rong Yue also knew that Xue Ru had been timid in the past, so when she saw that she was unwilling, she would not force him.
"Go on your own and don't come back too late." Rongyue warned Xiao Yan: "There are many people in Fang City. Watch out for Tang Ning and don't let anyone rush into her."
Xiao Yan nodded: "Madam, don't worry, I will do it."
"It's getting late, let's go quickly."
"Then let's go first."
Tang Ning followed Xiao Yan out of the house in a daze. She was a little confused about her aunt's attitude. When she got on the carriage and her body began to sway slightly, she couldn't help but ask the person next to her: "Brother, what are you doing?" What did you say to your aunt?"
How could his aunt suddenly be so close to him?
Naturally, Xiao Yan would not talk about the future aunt's intention to let his little Haitang take care of him until his death. He just said, "It's nothing, just a few words about palace affairs."
"Really?" Tang Ning was skeptical.
"real."
Xiao Yan's expression did not change: "Today my wife entered the palace smoothly, and she received the decree from your majesty to reconcile with Prince Cheng. In addition, your majesty gave her the property of Prince Cheng's palace, and she received the title of conferment, so my wife is very grateful to me."
"that's it?"
"that's it."
Although Tang Ning still felt weird, she didn't think too much about it.
The aunt is indeed a kind-hearted person, so it is not surprising that Xiao Yan treats him differently after receiving help from Xiao Yan. Moreover, he has indeed helped a lot today, and I am afraid anyone else would be grateful.
Tang Ning has never thought about how to confess to her aunt about her affair with Xiao Yan. How much her aunt loves her, she knows in her heart that her aunt will definitely not allow her to be with her brother.
It's a good thing that my brother can be liked by his aunt. If he likes her more, maybe there will be less obstruction.
"That's good. I'm afraid my aunt won't like you."
Tang Ning's eyebrows relaxed, and after murmuring something, she changed her voice and said, "I just hope that the imperial edict will come out soon, and the affairs of Prince Cheng's Mansion will be settled soon, and that my aunt can clear her relationship with the past soon."
Xiao Yan naturally heard her murmur. His eyes were so gentle that he felt that the little girl knew how to tickle his heart.
Tang Ning didn't notice his expression and just muttered: "But I see that my aunt seems to have recovered a lot in the past few days, and her energy and energy have recovered a lot."
I don’t know where Uncle Gu took his aunt that night, but he was able to cheer up his aunt so quickly after returning.
Xiao Yan laughed: "Madam is not an ordinary woman, how can she dwell on the past?"
"Of course!" Tang Ning nodded heavily: "That bastard Xie Tianyu doesn't deserve to be missed by my aunt."
