Moon Emperor

Chapter 196 In-laws
Zhao Beigu, King of Iron Blood County, nodded in agreement first; Cui Ren, Patriarch of the Cui family, followed suit.

The two looked at each other, and Zhaojun Wang said politely first: "I haven't seen you for many years, I didn't expect my nephew to grow so big."

"There is nothing else to come here today. I was General Su's subordinate back then, and I have always been grateful for the general's kindness. Although the Su family's old house was bestowed by His Majesty, I have been guarding it for General Su and no one has been allowed to live in it."

"Yesterday, Yan'er said that he would return it to the Su family, so I readily agreed. Why don't we make a formal handover today?"

Zhao Yan'er was speechless. When she asked her father yesterday, he obviously wasn't as cheerful as he said now.

At that time, he only said that His Majesty had her own deep intentions. When the Su family's things should be returned, he would naturally return them intact, and told Zhao Yan'er not to worry.

Now look who is in a hurry?

Su Yan just shook his head slightly when he heard the words, "It's not a good name, it's not right."

"I want the Majesty you mentioned to admit her mistake with her own mouth, and let her return this house."

As soon as this remark came out, the countenance of the county king and Cui's father and daughter changed slightly.

These words can be described as extremely bold, if there is an outsider here who informs, it is enough to punish Su Yan for a serious crime of disrespect.

Zhao Yan'er didn't have much respect for that empress, after all, she was sent to Qingcheng Palace to practice since she was a child, so it was hard to appreciate that empress' perennial prestige.

Buddhists watch their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, and they think that this matter has nothing to do with them.

Of course, it has now been confirmed that Su Yan is the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva. If he asks for it, then even if the Buddhist sect claims to be "a man outside the square" and does not interfere with worldly grievances, he may have to come down and visit this mess in person. water.

Seeing that Zhao Beigu stopped talking, Su Yan asked, "Is there anything else you want to say? If not, it's the Cui family's turn."

"Yes, yes," Duke Zhao immediately continued, "I heard from my little girl that she met Nephew Su Xian as early as when she was in Qingcheng Palace, and the two have a very close friendship."

"It just so happens that my little girl has nothing to do during this time, so how about letting her study with you and increase her knowledge? If you need to run errands, you can also let her do it."

Although Zhao Yan'er was a little dissatisfied with her father's placing her position too low, like a little maid, she still looked at Su Yan expectantly.

Su Yan shook her head calmly, "It's rare for Yan'er to go down the mountain to visit relatives, so let her spend more time with her family."

"Besides, I came to Luoyang this time, not to enjoy the flowers and outing. I will definitely see blood. It's not safe for her to follow me."

Zhao Beigu was a little surprised, but still nodded, "That's fine. Next, if nephew Su Xian needs help, you can come to the county palace to find me and my daughter at any time."

Zhao Yan'er was not as easy to let go as her father, hearing Su Yan's "cold" rejection at this moment, she remembered once again when he said he didn't like her when he was on the mountain.

This made Zhao Yan'er really want to ask Su Yan if she still remembered the time when she lied to him?
But under the watchful eyes of everyone, she still didn't ask in the end, she just lowered her head silently, the fingers of both hands were tangled together, feeling like a mess in her heart.
Of course Su Yan saw Zhao Yan'er's small movements, but at this moment he had no choice but to pretend to turn a blind eye.

He didn't really reject the other party that much, after all, this girl has changed a lot in recent years.

But how should I put it, once bitten by a snake and afraid of straw ropes for ten years, if you want to blame it, you can blame Zhao Yan'er for going too far back then, so that it still makes people vigilant.

Not to mention the second reason Su Yan listed, it was completely true.

He knew that he was actually a few catties and a few taels, and if he encountered great danger, it would be good if he could save his own life, so he didn't have the energy to protect Zhao Yan'er.

Seeing King Zhao finished speaking, Cui Ren coughed, and looked at Su Yan with a smile, "I really didn't expect that after so many years, we would meet again in such a scene."

"Niangqin is my younger brother's daughter, so I'm still your uncle and grandfather."

Unexpectedly, Su Yan waved his hand, "Don't talk about my relationship with me. Ever since the upheaval of the Su family, you and my family have completely broken up. I haven't forgotten that the Cui family sent a letter to ask my mother to change her surname."

Cui Ren's complexion changed, and Cui Mingxue's complexion was also not very good-looking.

In fact, based on the relationship between the two families back then, Cui Mingxue was a generation older than Su Yan.

But at that time, in order to strengthen the ally relationship between the two families, Cui Ren didn't care so much, so he pointed his unborn little daughter to the Su family.

Seeing that Su Yan was disgusted with this matter, Cui Ren stopped calling him by relatives, and changed his words: "My nephew is right, but it was not our original intention to send the letter back then, but the younger generation below. Make your own claim."

"Later, I sent someone to send a message to your mother, telling her to ignore those gossip."

"I know you don't believe me when I say that, but your mother didn't change her surname in the end, did she?"

Su Yan was noncommittal about this, but said: "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Cui Ren nodded, "I know that you were dissatisfied with the Qinghe Cui family and cut it off; but in order to ensure the continuation of the family and ensure that the foundation of the ancestors will not be destroyed by our generation, I have nothing to do."

"Of course, it sounds like sophistry to say this now. I don't expect your forgiveness, but I just hope to have a chance to reconcile with you."

"By the way, your grandfather passed away early, but your aunt is still there. She joined the Xuannv Pavilion to practice in her early years. We have already sent someone to inform her that she is back."

Su Yan has a little impression of this aunt, not because she has met her, but because she heard from the old lady.She is mother's younger sister, the only person in the Cui family who still has contact with the Su family after that incident happened.

The main reason is that she and her sister have a very good relationship, and she can't see her sister being sad.

It's a pity that Cui Xiuying died of illness within a few months. After Cui Xiuyun sent her sister off for the last time, she heard that she left Cui's house and went to practice in a sect outside the world. She was never seen again.

It turned out that I went to Xuannv Pavilion
Su Yan also didn't speak when he heard this, but just looked at the other party indifferently.

This left Cui Ren speechless. He originally wanted to fight for his daughter, but now he couldn't say anything.

He sighed, "That's all, nephew, what do you want to ask?"

Su Yan looked at the two of them, "It's very simple. I want to find out the truth about the Su family's injustice. What do you think is the truth?"

"I want to hear your opinion first."

Zhao Beigu and Cui Ren looked at each other, and it was still the county king who spoke first. He said firmly, "I don't think your Majesty Su Yan is your enemy."

"Of course, I'm not saying she's not at fault at all, it's just that she wasn't the one behind the scenes."
