"Alas... alas..."
"Master, why don't you have some tea, you've been walking in the hall for an hour now."
In an elegant living room, a beautiful woman who looks elegant and luxurious is holding a teacup to persuade Fang Nianbai, and there are many silent elders of the Fang family sitting beside her.
"Hey, don't drink." Fang Nianbai pushed aside the teacup handed by the beautiful woman, sighed and said, "This matter can't be solved, I can't even eat, so I don't even want to drink tea."
"Alas." The beautiful woman sighed, handed the teacup to the maid who was standing aside and continued: "Didn't Yao'er say that she has found someone to help? Master, you just..."
"Her!?" Before the beautiful woman finished speaking, Fang Nianbai interrupted her, "Who can she find for help as a little girl? Can she find someone with a background bigger than the Xun family!?"
After Fang Nianbai finished speaking, he felt that he had lost his composure, and sighed again: "Oh, it's my fault, I shouldn't have vented my anger on you, and it's also my fault that I'm useless as a father, I can't even protect my own daughter."
After hearing this, the beautiful woman couldn't help crying, took out a brocade handkerchief from her bosom, wiped her eyes and said, "Oh, my poor daughter, why did she suffer such a catastrophe?"
At this time, a young woman sitting on the side suddenly said: "Master, madam, don't be too sad, after all, the other party is a big family with Xuanzun's background, and Qiuyao's marriage will definitely have all kinds of benefits , she is just young and still doesn't understand..."
"Shut up!" Fang Nianbai turned his head and shouted at the young woman: "Could it be that someone from our side is still looking for the benefits of his Xun family!? Why do I make this family bigger and stronger? Isn't it just to make my children happy? Can I live the life I want? Now I have to sacrifice Yao'er's happiness in order to protect this family, which makes me very sad, and you are still saying such unconscionable words!"
The young woman didn't expect the master's reaction to be so big, and she was stunned by the words, but she quickly shouted aggrieved: "What's the use of yelling at me! Everything has already happened, and I want everyone to think about it Ah! Could it be that the matter can be resolved if everyone hugs and cries together!?"
"Okay! Okay! It's useless for me to be a master, it's all reversed! It's all reversed!" Fang Nianbai said and began to look around, as if looking for something convenient.
When the young woman saw it, she knew that she had completely pissed off the master, so she hurriedly ran out of the hall, crying.
As soon as Fang Nianbai saw the young woman running away, he didn't care about whether to take advantage of it or not, he just picked up a wooden horse that was originally for the little granddaughter to play with and chased after him, shouting while chasing: "Stop! After you're done, tell me how to think for the best!"
Seeing that the master was about to make a move, the beautiful woman quickly hugged his waist and shouted: "Master! Calm down, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive."
"I'm very calm now! Let me go!"
While dragging the master, the beautiful woman yelled at the bewildered sons nearby: "Wen Yao! Tianchen! What are you still doing sitting there? Come and stop your father!"
Hearing Mother's call, the two looked at each other and had no choice but to come up to help.
Seeing that the whole hall became a mess, Fang Qiuyao suddenly came over and shouted, "Father! What are you going to do!"
Seeing his daughter approaching, Fang Nianbai, who was holding the wooden horse in both hands, stopped for a moment, couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said, "Father... I'm sorry for you."
Going forward, she took the wooden horse from her father, and helped tidy up her father's coat. Then Fang Qiuyao said, "Father, didn't I say that this matter will turn around? Don't worry about it." '
Looking at the well-behaved and sensible daughter, Fang Nianbai stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder twice, saying: "Father knows you are a good child, father is not angry with anyone, but it is useless to be angry with yourself."
Seeing that her father still didn't believe her at all, Fang Qiuyao had nothing to do.
Yesterday afternoon, she was taking a medicinal bath in Tinglan Waterside Pavilion and Liu Zijin. When she came out, she saw her senior brother playing the legend of the mysterious dragon with the hall master. She didn't know when she came back.
After saluting to her senior brother as usual, Fang Qiuyao heard her senior brother casually say something that left her stunned.
"I've already solved the Xun family's affairs for you, remember the reward we agreed upon."
When Liu Zijin and the others reacted first and cheered, Fang Qiuyao still stood there in a daze.
Although she had complete trust in her senior brother, she was still completely stunned when she heard that senior brother helped her solve the catastrophe of the day. She didn't know how to express her surprise and amazement at all.
But there is only one thing she is more and more convinced of, and that is...
'Brother is indeed omnipotent! '
After receiving the good news, Fang Qiuyao immediately went home and told her father the news, but when her father surprised her and asked her who helped her, Fang Qiuyao faltered and refused to describe.
He has always been said to be a mysterious expert.
However, Fang Nianbai could not be persuaded by such words, so after a brief surprise, he took this sentence as his daughter's words of comfort.
This also made Fang Nianbai feel more and more useless.
Not only can he not protect his daughter well, but he also wants his daughter who sacrificed for the family to make up lies to comfort him.
What a failure!
It was also because of this that he was so furious just now.
Seeing the protagonist's arrival, the chaotic hall fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at Fang Qiuyao with a heavy expression.
Fang Wenyao clenched his fists, walked up to Fang Qiuyao and said, "Sister! Don't worry, brother must practice hard! When the time comes, I will worship a powerful master. If that Xun dares to bully you in the future! Brother help him teach him a lesson!"
When Fang Tianchen heard this, he also walked over and said, "Yes! Don't worry, Qiuyao, I will break through to Xuanling soon. If I can worship the deputy suzerain as my teacher, I... I can protect you too!"
Fang Tianchen's words were a little false, after all, their deputy suzerain was only Xuanhuang, and he was far away from Xuanzun, but at this moment he really couldn't think of anything to say to comfort his sister.
At this time, the beautiful woman also came out and hugged Fang Qiuyao into her arms without saying a word, she just hugged her like this, and the more she hugged her, the harder she hugged her.
Feeling the increasingly heavy atmosphere, Fang Qiuyao was also very helpless.
She can only silently enjoy the love these family members have for her.
"Master! Master! People from the Xun family are here! And there are quite a few people coming back!"
When the hall was silent, the doorkeeper rushed in and shouted, startling Fang Yan who was about to secretly take back his little wooden horse.
Hearing the servant's call, Fang Nianbai had a complicated expression, but he patted his daughter on the shoulder and walked out of the hall.
Seeing this, the beautiful woman also let go of her embrace, took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped her tears and said to Fang Qiuyao, "Mother, I'm sorry."
After finishing speaking, he followed Fang Nianbai and walked out together.
Hearing the arrival of the Xun family, although Fang Qiuyao believed in her heart that her brother had settled the matter, after all, her brother was not here now, so she was still a little confused about their purpose.
'Don't panic! Since the senior brother said it was all right, it must be all right. '
Nodding her head, Fang Qiuyao was about to keep up with her parents, but Fang Tianchen grabbed her.
"Qiuyao, you... you just stay in the house, and let father handle the outside affairs."
"Oh! Brother! Trust me, I'll be fine." After speaking, he broke away from Fang Tianchen and chased him out.
At this time Fang Nianbai had just walked to the gate and saw a large number of people from the Xun family.
'Just can't wait...'
Fang Nianbai knew at a glance that this must be the team that came to make an appointment. Although he was still very reluctant to part with his daughter, for the sake of the overall situation and the Fang family, he still had to adjust a smiling face and greet him.
However, before he could open his mouth, he saw an old man with a long beard coming up and holding his hand, saying, "You must be the chief of the Fang clan, right? Long time, long time..."
'you? '
Hearing this word, Fang Nianbai couldn't help being taken aback, a little confused about the current situation.
'This is going to be a family, so some kind words? '
"It's right here, I don't know who you are?"
"Oh, look at me, I didn't even introduce myself first, I'm rude, I'm really rude." After speaking, the long-bearded old man let go of Fang Nianbai's hands and said, "I am the head of the Xun family, Xun Wugu."
'The head of the Xun family! ? '
Fang Nianbai never expected that the person who was so polite to him just now was the patriarch of the Xun family! After all, what the Xun family did with him was just a small business, and he had never met the patriarch of the Xun family.
So I was a little confused for a while.
'Is the head of the Xun family so polite? '
At the same time, the beautiful woman was also stunned. She had seen how arrogant and domineering the second son Xun Ying was. How could their patriarch be so humble and polite
Seeing that both of them were stunned, Xun Wugu hurriedly said: "You two, how about we go in first?"
After understanding Xun Wugu's question, Fang Nianbai came back to his senses and made a gesture of asking: "Of course, I invite you, please."
Watching her father welcome the Xun family's team into the door, Fang Qiuyao, who saw the scene just now, was extremely confident in her heart.
'These Xun family members are so polite, it must be because of the senior brother! '
After welcoming all Xun's family into the courtyard, Fang Nianbai looked at Xun Wugu and said, "I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't prepare anything. I will immediately order my servants to prepare the banquet."
"No, no, no." Xun Wugu waved his hands, "No trouble, no trouble, we're here today for one thing, and we'll leave when we're done."
After finishing speaking, Xun Wugu said in a deep voice: "Liangjun! What are you doing standing there in a daze!?"
In the team, a middle-aged man hurriedly took a step forward, bowed to Fang Nianbai first, and then said: "Patriarch Fang, I, Xun Liangjun, blame me for not being able to teach my children well, which is why I have caused so much trouble for everyone."
After speaking, he turned his head and shouted: "Nizi! Don't kneel down yet!"
Hearing her father's scolding, Xun Ying trembled all over, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to Fang Nianbai and kowtowed: "Patriarch Fang, Xiao Ke is so young and ignorant, he actually tried to marry your daughter in such a despicable way. , and insulted you, it is extremely presumptuous! Now, under the guidance of my father, Xiao Ke has repented and repented, and I beg you to forgive me."
'what! ? '
The series of actions of the Xun family completely stunned the Fang family.
Looking at the second son of the Xun family who was extremely arrogant a few days ago, now he is kneeling in front of him trembling.
Fang Nianbai had no idea what happened.
But he still stepped forward quickly and said: "I can't do it, I can't do it!"
Lifting Xun Ying from the ground, Fang Nianbai looked at Xun Wugu and said, "Patriarch Xun, I believe there must be some misunderstanding between this, and there is no need for Mr. Xun to perform such a grand ceremony."
Xun Wugu immediately took up the conversation and said, "Yes! Misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding!"
Seeing Fang Nianbai's various reactions, Xun Wugu's heart that had been suspended at last finally calmed down a little, and he gained a little confidence.
"God bless, it seems that the suzerain's friend does not intend to kill our Xun family. '
While heaving a sigh of relief, Xun Wugu couldn't help but think of the shocking moment in the morning.
As usual, he was sitting cross-legged in the backyard practicing meditation, looking forward to entering Xuanhuang Realm as soon as possible.
But just after he completed the third Little Sunday, a woodcock fell from the sky and landed in front of him.
Of course Xun Wugu knew that this was a special messenger bird for the suzerain, so he immediately tensed up.
You must know that the suzerain seldom contacted him in person. Most of the time, the chief minister in charge of logistics gave him instructions.
It can be said that it is definitely a great honor for him to receive a letter from the Sovereign.
Taking a deep breath, Xun Wugu saluted the woodcock before taking down the letter.
Xun Wugu, who was holding the letter paper, was extremely excited. In just a few breaths, he thought a lot, what would be the big event that would allow the suzerain to write a letter to him in person...
'Are you really going to promote me! ? '
Xun Wugu has always been diligent and conscientious when dealing with the tasks assigned by the sect, and he will never do nine points if he can do ten points, and the general cabinet has always had a high evaluation of him.
Some time ago, the Chief Cabinet also said that Yuntong County was going to establish a new sub-helm, and he thought he was quite suitable, so he immediately thought of whether this letter was to let him go there to take charge of the overall situation.
'Hoo...'
Taking another deep breath, Xun Wugu slowly opened the letter paper.
There was not much content on the letter paper, just a few lines, but after Xun Wugu read it, it was like falling into an icehouse, and it was cold from the sky to the soles of his feet.
Even my heart, which was so excited just now, almost couldn't beat.
'How... how could this happen! ? '
The content on the letter paper is very simple. The suzerain said that one of his friends told him that a woman named Fang Qiuyao was harassed by a junior in their Xun family.
'Friends of the suzerain, harass, hurry up...'
Each of these words pierced Xun Wugu's heart like a knife.
Since the suzerain can personally write a letter to ask about this matter, it means that the suzerain has a very close relationship with this friend.
And who can have a close relationship with the suzerain... Which one is not a big shot on the Megatron side!
'It's a disaster, it's a big disaster! '
Realizing that the crisis was coming, Xun Wugu rushed out of the yard immediately, and shouted at the housekeeper: "Quick! Call me back everyone in the clan... Forget it, forget it! I'll call it myself!"
