Chapter 374 A bite of rice

This was a question for giving away. Li Xin coughed violently and looked back at the Princess Qinghe.

"How do you know her?"

The Ninth Princess blinked and gritted her teeth, "I have lived in that garden for so long, but I can't listen to others. Those servants from the Qi family said that you almost became the son-in-law of the Qi family."

Rumors kill people...

Li Xin said with a bitter face: "Heaven and Earth are so conscience, I fed the fish a few times with that Miss Qi, but I did nothing else..."

The Ninth Princess was about to speak when Mu Ying's voice came from outside the carriage.

"Princess, Marquis, someone blocked the way in front of him, saying that he wanted to see Marquis."

Li Xinru received a general amnesty and quickly spoke: "Let them wait, I'll come down now."

Originally, if it was another time, Li Xin would have to ask who he was before he decided not to meet. But at this time, even if the evil dragon blocked the road, Li Xin would have to meet without hesitation.

He turned around and said to the Ninth Princess: "Your Highness, you wait here, I'll go down and see what's going on."

The Ninth Princess gave him a blank look and said nothing.

Li Xin quickly jumped out of the carriage.

At this time, they had already been a distance from Qiyang County, and those who saw him off had long been lost. Logically, there were six or seven hundred soldiers near them, and no one would dare to block the road no matter what.

Seeing Li Xin jumped out of the carriage, Mu Yingcai whispered in his ear: "Marty, they are right in front of you, there are forty or fifty people..."

Li Xin looked at him in surprise.

"I thought you were talking nonsense, but there was really someone blocking the way?"

Mu Ying nodded and said, "It's the Xiao family."

Jing'an Hou coughed, then laughed.

"Interesting, they dare to come to see me."

It was early summer at this time, and it was not too hot, but everyone had changed into single clothes. Although Li Xin was a marquis and a minister of the Ministry of War, he usually liked to wear the regular clothes of the Yulin Guard.

Because of the pure black Yulin Wei regular clothes, the white tiger embroidered on his chest is very handsome.

Li Xin and the Ninth Princess carriage were in the middle of the team. He passed by everyone and slowly walked to the front of the team. Xiao Mingli, who had changed his surname to Xiao, took the Xiao family's family and were waiting on the side of the road.

Li Xin walked over.

"Everyone."

He glanced at these people and looked calm: "Is there anything wrong?"

Li Xin is from Qiyang and speaks Qiyang dialect, so he is very easy to communicate with these Xiao family members.

Xiao Mingli walked slowly to Li Xin with a crutch. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Marty Li is leaving, so I will bring my family to see him off."

A sarcastic smile appeared on Li Xin's face.

"There is no need for Mr. Xiao to be kind. For so many years, Li Xin has not known your Xiao family and has lived a good life."

Xiao Mingli sighed and said slowly: "I know that the Marquis is angry about what happened back then. I dare not ask for forgiveness, but just want to resolve this hatred."

The old man with gray hair bent down at Li Xin.

"Qinglan's mother left early, and I didn't know how to teach her daughter. I knew she was pregnant at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and she was so angry that she didn't have a meal for several days."

"Later, I asked her to abort the child and planned to find a lower-level person for her. After marrying her, she could barely live a peaceful life, but she refused."

Xiao Mingli lowered her head and smiled bitterly: "I have beaten and scolded, and I have no choice but to drive her out of the house. Otherwise, if the child is born, our Xiao family will become the laughing stock of Qiyang County."

Actually, Old Man Xiao was right. The social environment of the Great Jin Dynasty was somewhat similar to that of the Northern Song Dynasty in another world. Although the etiquette system was not yet shocking, people would gossip about remarrying, let alone getting pregnant before marriage.

From the perspective of the Xiao family, the Xiao family did nothing wrong except being ruthless.

"The Marquis is in it, so he should naturally hate the Xiao family. I have nothing to say about this. I am here to send him a farewell to the Marquis, just to let the Marquis know the details of the past and not to continue to hate the Xiao family."

Li Xin closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he opened his eyes and asked, "Did Mr. Xiao say that my mother is responsible for her own fault?"

"Qinglan was still young at that time, what did she know?"

Xiao Mingli gritted his teeth and said, "What's hateful is the person who lied to her. The person has no news for more than ten years. Whenever he comes back, even if he takes Qinglan into the room as a concubine, Qinglan will not bear the infamy for more than ten years and end up like this!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Mingli looked up and looked at Li Xin carefully.

"Mr. Li, you are in the capital, and you see... that person?"

Li Xin nodded: "I saw it."

Xiao Mingli sighed and said, "Anyway, the Xiao family should have gone to the capital to ask for an explanation. Since he recognized you, he did not treat you badly. The Xiao family's small business is small, so he will not get involved."

Li Xin sneered: "Who told you that I recognized him?"

Xiao Mingli was stunned.

Because the person he sent to the capital to inquire about the news has not come back yet, he still thinks that Li Xin inherited the family business of that scumbag in the capital, so that he has such a prestige.

Li Xin raised his head slightly and said proudly: "Hello Mr. Xiao, please listen. This marquis of Jing'an Marquis of the Great Jin Dynasty is also the first marquis of Jing'an Marquis of the Great Jin Dynasty, and has nothing to do with that person."

Xiao Mingli opened her mouth slightly and froze.

Li Xin sneered: "Do you know why I can climb so fast in the capital?"

"For one day, I will liquidate his sins with the man you speak of."

"I've found him."

Li Xin had no expression on his face.

"When I'm taller, I can go and settle the score with him."

Xiao Mingli was stunned. He suddenly didn't know what to say.

Li Xin is already the Marquis of Jing'an, the Minister of War, and the Prince Consort of the current dynasty, but he is still not tall enough, which means that person is even taller than Li Xin?

Then how tall should that person be?

Li Xin took a deep breath and looked at the gray-haired old man in front of him.

"Mr. Xiao, I want to ask you a question."

"Master, please ask."

Li Xin said, "If I come back this time, I am not a Marquis of Jing'an or a Minister of War, but just a penniless gangster. Will Mr. Xiao still recognize my mother? Will he come back and say this to me?"

Xiao Mingli has told lies many times in his life. He should have been familiar with it, but this time he could not tell lies. After being silent for a long time, he said in a stern voice: "Probably...No."

“That’s it.”

Li Xin smiled: "In the eyes of your Xiao family, the face of etiquette and law is greater than family affection, and the power and status are greater than the face of etiquette and law. Is my mother doing the right thing back then? No need to say more about it. She only said that she has been working hard on Qishan for so many years and earning money by embroidery every day. Later, her eyes are no longer open. Can you see it or not?"

"The Xiao family can ignore her, but they don't want her to eat?"

"Master Xiao also said that she was still young at that time. Has Mr. Xiao ever thought about what it would be like to not sleep all night in the summer to drive away mosquitoes for the child?"

These are the things my uncle once told Li Xin.

Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "Indeed, as Mr. Xiao said, my mother was right and wrong in the past. The Xiao family raised her for 16 or 7 years first, and later she suffered for 16 or 7 years alone. I think it should be worthy of it, right?"

"I sent someone to check the foundation of your Xiao family. There is a Xiaojia Town in Qiyang County. You entered Xiaojia County from there. Until now, the Xiao family is in Xiaojia Town, and there are at least thousands of acres of land. You can give her a meal, right?"

"If you don't recognize her, you can't help her?"

Li Xin looked coldly at Xiao Xiuqi behind Xiao Mingli.

"Mr. Xiao's son, your eldest son of the Xiao family, remember correctly, he has five concubines and a beautiful wife and maid, so happy. If he remembers that he has a girl, my mother will not die at the age of thirty-three!"

"But the Xiao family seems to have forgotten that she is like her."

"She just had a cold!"

Li Xin's face was frosty.

"Your family doesn't need her meal, but you didn't give it to me!"

"Now, I can actually give your family a bite of food. Even if you only need one word from me, your family can jump out of Qiyang County. You are no longer a small landlord, but a family that is ranked first in Yongzhou."

Speaking of this, Li Xin had no expression on his face.

"But I am unwilling to say this sentence, this is the food..."
