The Xie family's father and son came to Yuyouguan for several days without waiting for Xie Jiu, and they felt very uneasy.

Gu Xiao's people said that Xie Jiu had been inconvenient recently and would go see them again after some time.

In Father Xie's opinion, his daughter was the most filial. She would have gone to see them as soon as she knew they were coming. If she didn't show up, something must have happened.

He said he was going to wander around the streets, got rid of Gu Xiao's people, and asked the people left behind by Lou Qi to take them to find Xie Jiu.

The bandits in the Beast Mountain have already received Lou Qi's advice. Now they are all members of the Jiuxiao Pavilion. Everything is focused on Xie Jiu, the pavilion master. The Xie family and his son are the pavilion master's relatives, and Lou Qi's people are not unreasonable. .

But he only knew that Xie Jiu was currently living at Lin Shu's house, so he took the Xie family and his son to the exile area.

Wuxin happened to be playing with Liuya in the yard. Hearing that they were Xiejiu's father and younger brother, Wuxin told them that he overheard Lin Shu telling the old lady that Xiejiu was injured.

The father and son couldn't sit still after hearing this, so the old lady had no choice but to ask Lu Kang to lead people to Prince Xiao's Mansion, and then asked someone to take a shortcut to notify Gu Xiao.

Li Li got the letter and hurriedly came over to tell Gu Xiao that he was accompanying his master to pick up someone. The father and son of the Xie family seemed to have some objections to the prince, and if they knew that Xie Jiu was hurt by an arrow for his master, they would be afraid of death. I'm in trouble with my master.

They were family members who wanted to thank them for drinking, and it was hard for the master to do anything to them when the time came, for fear of suffering a loss.

Gu Xiao was born into a noble family, so why should he be afraid of the Xie family's father and son, who were both merchants.

But they are Jiu'er's relatives, and now she is hurt. If he and the Xie family are not on good terms, it will only put Jiu'er in trouble.

He was reluctant.

For Jiu'er's sake, he should be kinder to them, so he said to Xie Jiu'er, "I'll go to the front to greet you, so you can lie down alive."

Li Qiye's eyes widened, when would his prince treat people so warmly? A few days ago, he ran out of Yuyouguan to pick up people, but now he deigned to go to the front door of Prince Xiao's Mansion to greet people in person.

Then he thought of Xie Jiu who was injured in the room to save the prince, and felt that it was right. If it weren't for Xie Jiu, his prince would not be able to live in such a popular state.

Good.

"Okay." Xie Jiu responded to Gu Xiao with joy in his eyes.

Father, brother...

I don’t know what they look like now.

For his father and younger brother, they have only been separated for more than half a year, but Xie Jiu was reborn from the previous life and has not seen them for many years.

"Ah Xiao, don't I look ugly? Ask Aunt Ning to put some rouge on me." Xie Jiu suddenly felt a little shy about being close to home.

When Mo Li heard this, he hurriedly ran to find Grandma Ning.

Xie Jiu is a good idea. She looks better, and the Xie family and his son may not be so angry.

Aunt Ning quickly tidied up Xie Jiu and put a touch of rouge on her face, making her look less pale.

Gu Xiao received the Xie family and his son in the front yard.

The two of them performed the usual rituals, but they didn't have a good look on their faces. They followed Gu Xiao to the room where they were thanking the wine with a straight face.

Not caring about etiquette, the two men, one large and one small, went straight to Xie Jiu's bed.

Xie Jiu had already asked Aunt Ning to help her sit up and lean on the bedside. The two of them glanced at Xie Jiu. The wound was hidden under his clothes and they couldn't see what it was like. She looked good and energetic, but it must be painful. If you eat it, your life will be worry-free.

Father Xie calmly judged his daughter's situation and turned to Gu Xiao, "Can you please step aside for a moment? I would like to have a few words with my daughter."

His back was always straight, his expression was tense, and his brows were deeply furrowed into the character "Chuan". He was neither humble nor arrogant, but had a majestic look that was not easy to mess with.

Li Li's eyes widened again, this was Prince Xiao's Mansion.

For a common man to do this in front of his master, as a rule, he would be punished with a serious crime of disrespect. He wanted to remind Father Xie not to go too far. After all, his master had never been very affectionate.

But Gu Xiao nodded slightly, greeted Xie Jiu with his eyes and left the room.

"Son, help...help your father down." As soon as Gu Xiao stepped out of the room, Xie's father's deliberately pretended aura suddenly collapsed. His legs were so weak that he forgot which foot he had to use to walk.

Just now, he pretended to be calm on his face, but he was already frightened in his heart, fearing that the head on his neck would fall off in the next moment.

The biggest official he had ever come into contact with in his life was the Marquis of Yongning. This was Prince Xiao, and he actually bluffed Prince Xiao.

He touched his strong neck, leaned his whole body on his son Xie Changgong, and asked in a low voice, "Changgong, daddy didn't show any fear, did he?"

"No." He was answered by Xie Jiu.

Xie Jiu was already in tears. How could she not know that her father was bluffing to support her.

"Dad...Chang Gong..."

Daddy is much older than before, and he has gray hair on his temples. He must be worried about her.

The 11-year-old brother has become much more mature and stable, his eyebrows are brighter, he is taller, darker, and stronger.

The most important thing is that they are all alive in front of him.

Xie Jiu burst into tears.

When Xie Baoshan saw his daughter crying, he ignored his legs and ran to the bed, leaving his son alone. He grabbed his daughter's hand and coaxed, "Jiu'er, don't be afraid, dad is here."

Xie Changgong also arrived in front of the bed, his eyes a little red. He also grabbed Xie Jiu's hand, "Sister, and I, I will protect you from now on."

Xie Baoshan's eyes were filled with mist because of his daughter's crying, and he was about to fall off. He quickly turned his head to look at Xie Changgong and cursed, "You bastard, let go of your sister. Men and women cannot kiss each other."

He pretended to touch the corners of his eyes casually and muttered, "You will have to take the imperial examination in the future. Scholars value etiquette and don't let others take the lead."

Xie Changgong held Xie Jiu's hand tightly and complained in a choked voice, "Sister, look, dad is bullying me again. He is being unreasonable again. He is obviously a man, so you should take care of him."

"I am her father." Xie Baoshan glared at his son.

Not to be outdone, Xie Changgong said, "I am your younger brother."

Xie Jiu seemed to be back before she left the cabinet. Her father and younger brother often quarreled, and then asked her to judge what was right and wrong.

She stretched out her hand and hugged the two of them, "Dad, brother, I miss you so much."

"My daughter, my father's daughter." Xie Baoshan couldn't bear it any longer and cried bitterly while hugging Xie Jiu, "It's all because of your father that you suffered so much.

Daddy, I'm sorry for you, my wine. Does the wound still hurt? Daddy's heart is about to hurt..."

Xie Changgong moved his lips, deliberately reminding his father to keep his voice down. This is not a home. People will listen, and the momentum he just put on would be in vain.

But listening to his father's crying words and thinking of his sister's suffering, his heart ached unbearably, and he couldn't care about anything else, "Sister, I will study hard, take the imperial examination, and become a high official in the future.

Now I am still practicing martial arts with others. My brother can support you and won’t bully you anymore. Don’t be afraid..."

The father and daughter cried together.

Mo Li, who was standing in the yard with Gu Xiao, twitched his lips. It was the first time he saw a man crying so hard. It was completely different from the image just now.

Xie Baoshan's voice came from the room again, "It's really hard on you. You're so thin that you're just skin and bones. Weird dad. Dad shouldn't have gone back to his hometown. He should have come directly to Yuyouguan..."

Gu Xiao's forehead also jumped. He was not fat after drinking, but he was not thin either. Everything was just right, but he was now skin and bones.

He turned around and left the yard. When he reached the door, he ordered, "Let the kitchen stew some more tonics for the wine."

Although he is not thin, the injury has really damaged his body and he should take good care of himself.

In the room, Xie Jiu let go of the Xie family and his son, wiped his tears, "Dad, brother, you guys sit down."

Xie Baoshan wiped away his tears and asked, "Jiuer, Dad heard that you have been staying at a friend's house in recent days. Do you want to go back?"

He didn't dare to ask her directly if she was forced to stay in the palace by Gu Xiao. He was afraid of making his daughter sad, so he could only ask in a roundabout way.

Xie Jiu understood what her father meant, and she decided to tell them truthfully what she thought, "Dad, I am happy with him."

Xie Baoshan almost jumped up, but Xie Changgong caught his hand in time.

He looked complicated and took a breath before asking, "Daughter, tell dad, are you interested in his power and want to use it to get rid of your status as a refugee?"

He really didn't see anything worthy of love in the cold King Xiao, except for his looks and power.

Outside the door, Gu Xiao, who had left and returned, was about to go up the steps. Hearing these words, he stopped in his tracks.
