People are not plants and trees, as long as they are humans, they will have feelings. Logically speaking, no matter how Li Xin's mother is, the Xiao family should not be so indifferent. But this is the case in this era, with strict etiquette and rules. However, the Xiao family is also a scholarly family. Xiao Mingli and his eldest son Xiao Xiuqi both have scholars and fame.

It is this level of scholarly fame that makes the Xiao family pay special attention to rules and also makes them ignore Xiao Qinglan.

To be honest, if the Xiao family could stick to the rules and ignore Li Xin until now, although Li Xin would not pay attention to them, he would not hate them so much in his heart.

After all, they are also restricted by the times and their thoughts are imprisoned by this era.

However, after these Xiao family knew that Li Xin had become rich, they would take the initiative to post it and take the initiative to recognize their mother. This shows that the so-called etiquette, law and rules are not so important in their hearts.

That's why Li Xin hates the Xiao family so much.

Xiao Mingli smiled bitterly and said, "It's over, and the Xiao family dare not ask the Marquis to take care of him anymore, but just wanted to explain to the Marquis."

He paused and continued.

"In addition, after the Marquis left, Qinglan lost its descendants' incense in Qiyang County. What I mean is whether the grandchildren of the Xiao family can burn some paper for Qinglan during the holidays..."

Old man Xiao lowered his head and said in a panic: "Don't worry, the Xiao family will no longer dare to get involved with the Marquis..."

Li Xin said silently.

Xiao Mingli sighed.

"During this period, I thought about what I did over the years and found that I was really sorry for Qinglan. It was just that I was just angry that she refused to obey and wanted her to go home by herself, so..."

Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "I have taken my mother's spiritual seat with me. She will not lack any incense, but the tomb is there. It's not impossible for you to burn paper. I just allow the younger generations of the Xiao family to go. My mother should not want to see you."

Xiao Mingli quickly lowered his head and said, "This is natural, this is natural."

Li Xin turned around with his hands behind his back.

"Along with that, you are not allowed to do evil in Qiyang County with my mother's reputation. This marquis left people in Qiyang County. If the news reaches the capital, the Xiao family will not only change their surnames!"

Li Xin turned around and stepped onto the carriage, and the convoy slowly walked away.

Leave the Xiao family behind and stand on both sides of the road to watch.

After the convoy left, Xiao Zhiping, the second son of the Xiao family, slowly walked behind Xiao Mingli.

"Father, what did he say?"

Xiao Mingli nodded slowly: "He Xu Xiao's juniors went to visit Qinglan's grave."

Xiao Zhiping breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Only this relationship is there, someone in Yongzhou Prefecture wants to touch our family, so he has to consider this Marquis Li. This time he finally found a backer for our family."

Xiao Mingli sighed.

"This relationship is too thin. He forced our family to change their surnames. Others can tell at a glance that he is not in line with our family."

Xiao Zhiping smiled bitterly and said, "It would be great to be able to recover to this level. If he didn't nod, the Xiao family might not be able to stay in Qiyang County."

If the Xiao family members could not visit Xiao Qinglan's grave, then there might be people in Qiyang County who thought the Xiao family had a grudge against the Marquis of Jing'an and used the suppression and pleasing Li Xin.

This person is likely to be the county magistrate Zhou Yang.

Xiao Mingli stood there silent for a long time, then slowly turned around and said to his second son: "Zhiping, do you know what he said to his father just now?"

Xiao Zhiping shook his head and said, "The child is far away and can't hear it."

Xiao Mingli took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "He said...he is the first Marquis of Jing'an!"

The old man's eyes were very complicated.

"In just over a year, I have transformed from a poor boy from Qiyang County into a marquis and the prince consort of the Great Jin Dynasty..."

Xiao Mingli smiled bitterly and said, "This kind of character could have made our Xiao family aristocratic family, or even aristocratic family that could gain a foothold in the capital, but we missed it."

Speaking of this, Xiao Mingli looked solemn.

"Zhiping, you are right. We can't afford to offend him."

"From today on, my family has been changed to Xiao. I know that some people will use the word "Xiao" when they go out. After all, I can't change it if I use it. I turned a blind eye before and just thought it didn't see it, but now it's not done."

Xiao Mingli gritted his teeth and said, "From today on, those who do not change their surname will be expelled from the house."

"The younger generation in the family will visit Qinglan's grave according to the season, but they will never be allowed to publicize it everywhere and must not annoy him anymore."

Xiao Zhiping nodded and said, "Father, son understand."

"You will go to the capital again after a while."

Xiao Zhiping sighed and nodded slowly.

He knew in his heart that his father felt very uncomfortable if he couldn't climb this high branch.

Xiao Mingli is old, so he will naturally not have any ambitions, but this Jing'an Hou can bring all the descendants of the Xiao family into adulthood!

This great opportunity was in front of me, but I missed it, which was even more uncomfortable than before.

…………………………

In the carriage on the other side, His Highness the eldest princess looked at Li Xin who was climbing onto the carriage with a sneer.

"Why, after going on for so long, is that Qi Danran sending you here?"

Li Xin smiled bitterly and said, "Why can't you overcome this hurdle?"

"If you don't explain clearly, you won't be able to get through."

The Ninth Princess gritted her teeth and said, "Fortunately, I came here like this, otherwise I might have it with that Qi Danran child when you return to the capital by yourself!"

Li Xin sat next to Princess Ninth and sighed softly.

"The person who blocked the road in front just now is surnamed Xiao and named Xiao Mingli."

The Ninth Princess gave him a blank look.

"Don't try to change the topic!"

Li Xin continued to say to himself: "He is my mother's father."

The Ninth Princess screamed: "Isn't that your grandfather?"

Li Xin shook his head: "No."

The Marquis Jing'an smiled at the Ninth Princess: "Can I tell you a story?"

The Ninth Princess hesitated for a moment and decided to put Qi Danran aside for the time being, nodded and said, "Okay."

"Once upon a time, in Qiyang County, Yongzhou Prefecture, there was a family named Xiao, and the family surnamed Xiao had a young daughter..."

"Later, an officer from the court was injured on the battlefield and lived in the Xiao family to recuperate."

………

"In the end, Miss Xiao's family had no choice but to hold her son, hide in the mountains, and raise the child alone..."

The story of Li Xin’s mother can be said to be a typical tragedy. His Royal Highness the eldest princess spent the first half of her life on comedy and food dramas. How could she bear this? She immediately burst into tears.

Li Xin put one hand around her waist and wiped her tears with the other.

After wiping his tears, the Ninth Princess choked and said, "That lady of the Xiao family is the mother?"

Li Xin smiled and nodded.

"So, I didn't recognize these relatives of the Xiao family."

The Ninth Princess gritted her teeth and reached out to pull out the Aokiji sword from Li Xin's waist.

"These bastards, I will kill them!"

Li Xin held her hand and shook her head: "Don't kill anyone, my mother doesn't like it."

The Ninth Princess wiped her tears with Li Xin's sleeve, and then cried and said, "I thought you and my mother had always lived in the mountain."

Li Xin smiled and shook his head: "If you didn't see that there was only one family there? If there was no way, who would have hid there?"

His Highness the eldest princess gritted her teeth: "The Xiao family is so hateful, and that court officer is even more hateful!"

Suddenly, she was stunned and turned to look at Li Xin.

"Chang'an, the court officer you are talking about is... Marquis of Pingnan?"

Li Xin smiled brightly.

"Yes, it's him."
