A clear stream outside the forest had gradually dried up. She poured a handful of water into her mouth. It was sweet and refreshing, and it also restored her strength.
Now that we are here, let's just go back to Xia Mansion. She still remembers that she keeps some homing pigeons in Xia Mansion. Those pigeons know the way back to Prince Jing's Mansion in Kyoto. She will send a letter back first, so as not to worry Zhu Yan and Grandpa. .
When Xia Yuanqiu returned to Xipo Village, it was late in the evening and the sky was still dark. Many people had dinner and were chatting outside to eat. However, many people saw Xia Yuanqiu coming from the other end of the mountain road and entered the village all the way. The people smiled at each other, and without even stopping for a moment, they headed directly in the direction of Xia Mansion.
When someone had something good to do, they immediately went to Xia Tieniu's house and told Xia Tieniu about Xia Yuanqiu's return to the village.
Xia Tieniu was so shocked that he almost dropped the bowl in his hand, and asked quickly: "Did she come back alone?"
"Yes, she is the only one who came back. I heard that she came from the other side of Luoying Mountain."
Xia Tieniu asked again: "Did you come back on foot?"
"Yes, I came on foot. I didn't see a carriage or anything."
Xia Tieniu slapped her thigh and said happily: "It must be because the prince was deposed. Something happened to the prince, so she ran home quickly."
Thinking of this, what kind of food should Xia Tieniu bring? He quickly put the bowl on the table and shouted to Mrs. Lin in the courtyard: "Mother, that damn girl Yuan Qiu is back. Come on, let's go take a look. It's just the right time." Yuan Ling's marriage has been decided, she is from our Xia family, no matter what, we have to add some makeup to our Yuan Ling."
When Ms. Lin heard this, she immediately became excited and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, let her add makeup to our Yuan Ling, add a lot of makeup."
The couple rushed to Xia Mansion one after another, and the messenger quickly informed everyone about their trip to Xia Mansion. After a while, many people gathered at the door of Xia Mansion.
Xia Tieniu kept beating on the tall red door, and the big man stuck his head out. When he saw so many people gathered outside, he immediately frowned, squeezed out from behind the door, stood at the entrance of the main station, and said in a deep voice : "You guys don't go home to sleep this late at night, what are you doing around here?"
Xia Tieniu stretched out his hand and poked the big man Xu's arm, saying, "Are your eyes crooked? Didn't you see me here?"
Mr. Xu raised his eyebrows: "Uncle? Whose uncle are you?"
Xia Tieniu snorted: "Stop pretending to be in front of me and saying, is my niece back?"
Xu Daguo smiled and said: "I wonder who the niece you are talking about is?"
Xia Tieniu's face darkened and he said displeasedly: "Don't you fool me here, don't you know that Xia Yuanqiu is my niece?"
Xu Daguo shook his head: "I really don't know about this." He looked at the people behind him and asked: "Do you all know about this?"
There was low laughter from the crowd, but no one answered.
Xu Daguo smiled and said: "Everyone is silent. It seems that they don't know."
Xia Tieniu said angrily: "She, Xia Yuanqiu, is from our old Xia family. Who doesn't know about this? Do you even need to ask?"
Xu Daguo said: "Of course, I heard that from time to time in this village, relatives sever ties. If ties are severed, are they still relatives?"
This statement was like a slap in the face to Xia Tieniu.
They were the ones who proposed to sever the relationship first, and the documents were written and fingerprinted, one of which was kept in the hands of the head of the village. Almost no one knew about this, and no one knew about it.
