Xie Mingyu had already informed him of Zhao Ling's situation in the Zhao Mansion in his letter. Now that he saw the scar on her face with his own eyes, he sighed secretly and said. "Ling'er, being in the Zhao Mansion these years has made you suffer. You're wronged. You'll stay at Xie's house for a while when you come out this time. At the government office, your grandfather will write to explain."

This was Yun'er's only blood. His own only granddaughter, how could he tolerate it if others were bully to her.

Zhao Ling was a little moved unconsciously. She could feel the honesty of the old man in front of her who sincerely cared for her. Although Madame. Zhao of the Zhao mansion also took good care of her, she could see that the old lady's concern for her was not really from the heart. It was more out of the promise to the old Zhao and the reputation of the Zhao family.

She sincerely thanked Mr. Misty. "Thank you, grandfather."

"By the way, how could King Xuan come with you? Although you have a gift to marry him, didn't King Xuan's mansion postpone the wedding?" Mr. Miao asked slightly inexplicably.

And as far as he had just seen, King Xuan was not unsympathetic towards Ling'er. He suddenly thought of something and said to Zhao Ling. "Does Ling'er know who led the soldiers to destroy the Wuji Sect?"

Zhao Ling shook his head.

Mr. Miaomiao was silent for a while, and slowly said. "The leading general sent by the first emperor was the second generation of King Meng Baichuan. Back then, Meng Baichuan was only 18 years old. He was young and domineering. After receiving the order from the first emperor, he led a 100,000 army. The momentum was like breaking bamboos, pointing directly to the Wuji Sect's old nest in Dingzhou, and wiping out all the Wuji Sects with the force of cutting the grass and roots."

Mr. Miaomiao was studying in Dingzhou and witnessed the beheading of a group of Wuji followers by the army led by Meng Baichuan and hanging their heads on the city wall. Although Meng Baichuan was ordered by the emperor to suppress anti-religion, his methods were indeed too cruel.

Zhao Ling suddenly realized. "In this way, Wuji Sect and King Xuan's Mansion are enemies for the destruction of Sect. King Xuan should go south this time to investigate the reality of Wuji Sect."

Meng Yuan's service was indeed deep enough! But why did he drag the unhealed sick body to come in person? Also, why should he go to the south with her? Was it to protect her along the way?

"Just now I saw that King Xuan had a different attitude towards Ling'er. I don't know what your opinion of King Xuan is, Ling'er?" Mr. Ying Miao asked quite meaningfully.

Zhao Ling looked at him calmly, and replied. "Although I don't like it, I don't dislike it either."

"That's fine too. Since the emperor has given you up in a marriage, if nothing bad happens, you will become Princess Xuan. It's just..." Mr. Misty paused, and said. "I just saw that King Xuan's face was calm, but there is a violent atmosphere between his eyebrows. I hope you can pay more attention to it in the future."

After bidding farewell to Mr. Miao Miao, the group left Bishan Academy. At the gate of the academy, everyone parted ways.

Lu Ziqing and Fengze looked for an inn to stay, waiting for the Wuji Sect to appear on the third day of May. In dealing with the Wuji teaching, Lu Ziqing felt that he had never been so useless.

And Meng Yuan went to the other courtyard of the Xuan Palace in Suzhou. Xuan Wangfu had a century-old foundation, and it was a big family, with industries all over the world. On the way to Xie's Mansion with Xie Mingyu, Zhao Ling thought of her two shops. It seemed that if she wanted to become a rich person, she had to keep working hard.

As a matter of fact, it was speculated that Meng Yuan came south to Suzhou with her in order to investigate the reality of Wuji teaching, or perhaps he had other intentions. But Zhao Ling didn't blame him for concealing his intentions. She originally felt that Meng Yuan's sudden decision to come to Suzhou was not simple.

Everyone would have some of their own secrets that they didn't want the outsiders to know about. How could they be confessed to him? What was more, the matter of Wuji Sect involved the grievances of the ancestors of the Xuan Palace, and it was normal for him to conceal something.

The relationship between herself and him, to put it bluntly, was just a whim decision made by a person in power, but she was unable to get rid of it. This was the sorrow of women living in the feudal era.

But even so, she must do her best to live wonderfully. She didn't blame anyone, nor did she rely on anyone. If people treated her kindly, she would treat people kindly. If people deceived her, she wouldn't let others bully her. Sexual love between men and women was not the only thing in her life. If Meng Yuan treated her sincerely in the future, she would treat him wholeheartedly, but if he bullied her, she would definitely let go without hesitation and turn away.

When she arrived at Xie's House, it was already time for the lights. As Mr. Misty's birthday banquet was approaching, Xie's mansion was busy preparing for these few days. Seeing Xie Mingyu, who had been out for many days, returned, naturally there was a lot of happy noise.

Xie's men did not accept concubines, so the Xie family was not very busy. Mr. Misty's niece only had a son and a daughter, Xie Chun and Xie Yun, a layman, Xie Chun, two sons and a daughter, Xie Mingyu, the eldest son, Xie Mingfeng, and daughter Xie Yao. And Mr. Miao Miao liked to live in the academy, so now only Xie Chun's family lived in Xie's Mansion.

Xie Chun and his wife hadn't seen Zhao Ling for many years, but now they were so happy and generous to see her coming and going. They also thought of Xie Yun, who died young, and it was unavoidable that they felt sentimental again.

Xie Mingfeng and Xie Yao are a pair of twins, two years younger than Zhao Ling and sixteen years old. Because of the good genes of the Xie family, Xie Mingfeng is already handsome at a young age, and Xie Yao was also beautiful and smart. The two called Zhao Ling their cousin. They were a little curious about this veiled cousin who they had never met before, but because of their good upbringing, it was not obvious.

A few days before the birthday banquet of Mr. Misty, Zhao Ling took green bamboo to live in Xie's mansion. There were not many people in Xie's house, and the Yu family had been very busy these few days in preparation for the birthday banquet.

Zhao Ling was not familiar with the ancient banquet etiquette, and could not help much, so she handed over the diligent green bamboo to the Yu family for dispatch, and she helped Xie Mingyu sort out student information at Bishan Academy and deal with some by the way.

College chores compared with housework, Zhao Ling felt that it was easier to handle the affairs of the college.
