Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

In the middle of the night, Lin Xiao and Xiyue finally arrived at the gate of the Kyushu Bieyuan.

The guards of the other courtyard were sharp-eyed, they saw the dusty couple from afar, and rushed to meet them.

When he saw that one of them was Lin Xiao, he couldn't help being shocked:

"Isn't this Mr. Lin? Please come in, please come in!"

Lin Xiao waved at him: "I'll do it myself, you can do your work."

"This can't be allowed. The general told me that if you come, you have to report to him immediately!"

"."

Lin Xiao was speechless for a moment, but still let the guard lead the way, while he and Xiyue followed him slowly.

As soon as Lin Xiao stepped into the other courtyard, a figure rushed out from the side hall.

"Ah Xiao!!"

"Miss Xiaoyue!"

The two figures rushed towards each other almost at the same time, and then slammed into each other.

Lin Xiao rubbed his sore arm and couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Yue stood still with a smile on her face, and looked Lin Xiao up and down.

Lin Xiao was wearing a gray cloth dress and cloth shoes. Although not too expensive, it was clean and tidy, and his skin was quite tanned.

"You've lost a lot of weight, and you've also gotten a lot darker."

"It's normal to be stuck in the wind and sand, and it's dark."

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he raised his hand and touched his cheek, and laughed at himself:

"Look at me, isn't it scary?"

Zhang Yue shook his head and said with a smile:
"How could it be, Ah Xiao is not ugly at all! Besides, you look more 'manly' than before."

Lin Xiao smiled wryly.

Zhang Yue wanted to continue teasing Lin Xiao, but was overwhelmed by a fierce look.

She turned her head and saw a young woman staring at her coldly.

That gaze is like a knife like a sword, making people terrified.

She couldn't help flinching.

"Ah Xiao, this is."

Zhang Yue turned to ask Lin Xiao.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you, this is Hao Lian Xiyue, the Princess of the Huns, she..."

"I'm Brother Ah Xiao's Yan family!"

Before Lin Xiao finished speaking, Xiyue robbed her of the words, her beautiful eyes widened.

"Hi, my name is Xiyue."

Xiyue stretched out her hand and smiled at Zhang Yue friendly.

Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment before realizing that Xiyue was declaring her sovereignty!
She quickly took her hand:

"Hi, my name is Zhang Yue! I'm A Xiao's cousin."

Hearing the word "cousin", Xiyue's expression obviously changed. She let go of Zhang Yue's hand and said with a smile:

"It turned out to be my cousin."

Xiyue looked very happy, as if she hit it off with Zhang Yue very much.

Zhang Yue also noticed the change in her attitude, and couldn't help breaking a cold sweat for Lin Xiao.

This guy has thoroughly implemented men's disguise as women!

Three wives and four concubines, none of them was left behind!
It must be hard for Ninth Prince Li Yuyan.

However, Xiyue's frank character made her quite like it!

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit weird, Lin Xiao quickly changed the subject and said:
"Is Yuyan in the mansion?"

"It's in the study! Hurry up and find him! If he knows you're here, he might be so happy!"

Zhang Yue urged.

Lin Xiao smiled, nodded to Zhang Yue, and hurried to the study.

Xiyue wanted to go with her, but was held back by Zhang Yue:
"Sister, let the men talk about things, don't join us as a woman, let's go, sister will take you to the backyard!"

Xiyue had no choice but to follow Zhang Yue to the backyard.

Inside the study.

Li Yuyan was standing with his back to the door, hands behind his back, looking out of the window in a daze.

Lin Xiao stood two steps away from him, hesitated for a while before coughing softly:
"Yu Yan."

Li Yuyan came to his senses after hearing the words, turned his head, and met Lin Xiao's familiar face.

"Ah Xiao, it's really you!!"

Li Yuyan stepped forward excitedly and grabbed Lin Xiao's shoulders, his eyes were red:

"Am I dreaming!"

When Lin Xiao saw Li Yuyan with a haggard face, the anger that he wanted to go wild disappeared immediately when it touched his bloodshot eyes.

She sighed:
"It's me, I'm back, you're not dreaming."

Li Yuyan burst into tears, he hugged Lin Xiao, choked up and said:
"Do you know? I'm really worried about you! Many times I wanted to lead soldiers to Turkic to rescue you, but I was afraid that it would be a waste of help. I..."

Listening to Li Yuyan's ramblings, and thinking of the horrible Lin Family Village, Lin Xiao felt very irritable. She pushed Li Yuyan away, and shouted loudly:
"Enough, don't say more!"

"I"

Li Yuyan was stunned, not understanding why Lin Xiao was suddenly angry.

"Let me ask you, what happened to Brothers Workshop? What happened to Lin Family Village?"

Faced with Lin Xiao's questioning, Li Yuyan opened his mouth, but finally chose to remain silent.

The things that Wang Tuo did were all done in the name of Ninth Prince Li Yuyan.

Now, even if I have a mouth full of mouths, I can't explain it clearly.

What's more, he confidently believes that Lin Xiao should trust him without reservation!

Seeing this, Lin Xiao's chest heaved with anger.

She gritted her teeth and said:

"Okay, okay! Sure enough, you have lived up to my expectations of you. Borrowing flowers to present Buddha, doves occupying magpie's nest, crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, you have played so well!"

Li Yuyan heard the meaning of Lin Xiao's words, knowing that Lin Xiao never believed in him at all, and felt heartbroken.

He took a deep breath, tried to calm down his anger, and asked tentatively:

"Ah Xiao, do you believe me?"

Lin Xiao snorted coldly and said:
"Why, dare not admit it?"

Li Yuyan remained silent.

"Speak! I let you speak!!"

Seeing Li Yuyan's silence, Lin Xiao thought that Li Yuyan was in the wrong, and became even more indignant:
"Say it, why don't you speak!?"

Li Yuyan's eye circles gradually turned red.

"Since you don't believe me, why should I explain it! Just take it as me!"

Lin Xiao was so angry with Li Yuyan, but there was nothing he could do about him.

She took a few deep breaths and forced herself to calm down:

"Li Yuyan, I will give you one last chance to tell your good brother that you must give Lin Jiacun an explanation, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"I can't do it! If you want to be ruthless, so be it!"

After Li Yuyan finished speaking, he walked away.

"you"

Looking at the back of Li Yuyan's resolute departure, Lin Xiao was so angry that he stomped his feet and cursed.

But what can she do with Li Yuyan? !

Li Yuyan has a stubborn temper, and no one can persuade him.

What's more, Li Yuyan is the majestic Nine Princes of the Great Xia Dynasty, a person who holds the power over the life and death of ordinary people!

How could she have the guts to turn against him?
Lin Xiao sat dejectedly on the chair, confused and at a loss.

"What, did you two quarrel?"

Beside him, came a gentle female voice.

Lin Xiao turned around suddenly and found that Zhang Yue was looking at her with a smile. There was love and blame in his eyes, but they also contained infinite pampering.

Lin Xiao lowered his head in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer.

Seeing Lin Xiao's appearance, Zhang Yue couldn't help laughing. She stretched out her hand, rubbed Lin Xiao's head, and said:
"He, he is frowning every day and has a lot of troubles, so don't be serious with him."

"Am I serious?"

Lin Xiao was really going to be laughed out of anger, she raised her head and said angrily:
"Where did I compete with him? He has done something wrong himself, so why don't people tell him?"

"He's not wrong!"

Zhang Yue categorically said:

"I've also heard about Lin Family Village and Brothers' Workshop. It's not what you imagined. You really misunderstood him."

"Misunderstand him?"

Lin Xiao sneered: "The Ninth Prince confiscated the brothers' workshops for the imperial court, and suggested to the new emperor that private salt production should be prohibited by the people, and that people's livelihood needs such as salt and sugar should be nationalized. The new emperor adopted the suggestion of the Ninth Prince. , Fleeing away, a good village has now become a ghost village, isn't this what Li Yuyan did?"

"The suggestion was indeed made by him, but there must be some misunderstanding about the Linjiacun matter!"

Zhang Yue comforted Lin Xiao patiently, and continued to explain:
"Think about it, he has no grievances with Lin Family Village, why would he do such a thankless and stupid thing?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiao fell into deep thought.

That's right, the people in Lin Family Village have no grievances with Li Yuyan, so there's no need for him to kill all the villagers.

Did you really misunderstand him?

Just as he was thinking, there was a burst of noise outside the study, and the sound of chaotic footsteps came from far to near.

After a while, Xiyue's screams sounded outside the door: "Grandma Asi? You, what's wrong with you?"
