Chapter 47

As soon as he reached the alley in front of the house, the anxious figure of the old housekeeper greeted him.

Seeing that Old General Xiao and his young masters were all well, he finally calmed down a bit from his worries.

"The young master saw that you and the young masters had not returned home for a long time, and he was a little worried. He sent the old slave out to have a look."

The old housekeeper bowed to several people and explained, "Now that the masters are all safe and sound, the old slave is relieved."

"Tell Yi Chen that if he is worried, he will go out with him next time."

Mr. Xiao had a disgusted look on his face, but the corners of his mouth showed joy in his heart.

"Staying in the mansion all day, you will get sick sooner or later!"

"Yes." The old housekeeper said, "General, Deputy General Meng has been waiting in the mansion for a long time."

"understood."

Mr. Xiao turned around and pointed at the thin boy.

He said to the old housekeeper, "This is Xiao Jiu, and she will be Xiao Qingtian's guard from now on, please arrange it properly."

"Brother Xiaojiu will live in my yard from now on."

Before the old butler could respond, he was interrupted by Su Qingtian's crisp voice.

"Miss, this is impossible!"

The old housekeeper waved his hands again and again, and anxiously persuaded, "Men and women can't get married. Except for the servants in the courtyard who are assigned by you to enter your small courtyard, other outsiders are not allowed to stay in your courtyard at will."

"If this gets out, it will be bad for the little lady's reputation."

"Is that right?"

Su Qingtian tilted her head, looking puzzled.

"But Brother Xiaojiu is the guard my grandfather gave me. He doesn't live in my yard. How can he protect me personally?"

"Grandpa, grandpa~"

The little girl pouted and stretched out her hand to pull the corner of Mr. Xiao's clothes, her little mouth whimpered coquettishly.

"I want Brother Xiaojiu to live in the same yard with me, is it possible..."

Mr. Xiao looked at Xiao Jiu who was so nervous that he wanted to shrink into the corner, and then looked down at his little granddaughter who was very headstrong today.

He couldn't help but feel that this girl deliberately chose Xiao Jiu as her bodyguard today.

Stretching out his hand to pinch the two little ones, Mr. Xiao thought for a while and replied, "Okay, since Xiao Jiu is your guard, you will arrange the food and clothing in the future, okay?"

"really?"

"Wow, grandpa is so nice!"

Su Qingtian stood on tiptoe and hugged Mr. Xiao's waist, giggling. Before the old housekeeper could say anything more, she turned and took Xiao Jiu's hand and ran towards her small courtyard.

Lu Wuming on the side looked at Xiao Jiu's back and frowned slightly.

Xiao Nan, who was standing next to him, puffed out his cheeks and sulked.

"General, this... this is against the rules!"

The old housekeeper stomped his feet anxiously, looked at the backs of the two people going away, and said worriedly.

"General, if this matter gets out, how will the young miss and Ji get married smoothly in the future!"

"Qing Tian is still young, let's talk about the future."

Patting the shoulder of the old man who had been worrying about himself and his family for many years, Old General Xiao looked at Su Qingtian's back in the distance.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If it is God's will, it is not something that you and I can intervene."

The old housekeeper looked at the old general Xiao with a puzzled expression. Now that the young lady and uncle are not in Fengcheng, isn't it the old general who handles the young lady's marriage all by himself?
He didn't know that Xiao Hongyan had passed away, nor did he know Su Zheng's real face. He guessed that Old General Xiao planned to raise his granddaughter and send her back to the capital to be decided by his parents.

Thinking of this, he didn't say much anymore.

If there are servants who gossip, he will let these people know the rules of the Xiao family!
Old General Xiao looked up and saw Meng Fang with his arms folded, leaning on the pillars in the corridor watching the soldiers training, his brows were furrowed, as if he had something on his mind.

"It's getting late, you all go back to your house and rest."

"Okay, grandpa."

After Xiao Nan finished speaking, she ran towards the inner courtyard without looking back.

He's going to find Aunt Cook, and ask her to make a lot of delicious food for Sister Tiantian, and let her know that the only one who treats her best is himself, his cousin!

That Xiaojiu, how can he be compared with him!
snort!
Old General Xiao looked at his little grandson's back, couldn't help but turned around and walked towards Meng Fang.

"General."

Meng Fang stood up straight, cupped his fists and saluted, seeing no one around, said in a low voice, "Xiao Jiu has a special status, if you take him back to Xiao's residence like this, you may cause trouble."

"Is the Xiao family's misfortune still rare?"

Mr. Xiao couldn't help snorting when he thought of the dirty things that group of omnipotent people did behind their backs.

"Xiao Jiu's coming to Xiao's residence has nothing to do with this general."

"It was Xiao Qingtian who chose the guards among the more than 100 secret guards. In the end, she didn't like one of them, but she just fell in love with Xiao Jiu who was sweeping aside."

Meng Fang was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that this matter was actually made by the young lady.

"It's God's will."

Old Master Xiao sighed, "I and other mortals don't have to worry about such trifles anymore."

Meng Fang nodded, since the matter was related to the little lady, he would not say any more.

"Let's go, go to the study first."

Mr. Xiao took a big stride, and said in a solemn tone, "Purchasing military rations is the most important thing now."

Hearing Old General Xiao mentioning the military rations, Meng Fang's expression was serious.

Following the old general all the way into the study, the two began to talk after the cleaning boy left.

But what Meng Fang first mentioned was Xiao Jiu's matter.

"General, my subordinates still feel that it is very inappropriate to bring Xiao Jiu into the mansion so ostentatiously."

The old general sat at the desk and looked up at his loyal lieutenant.

Seeing that the general didn't stop him, Meng Fang continued, "If it wasn't for protecting Xiao Jiu's life back then, the general would not have allowed the national teacher to humiliate the Xiao family in front of His Majesty and the officials, nor would he have brought the family with him without any explanation. The old and the young came to this border land to settle down."

"After all these years, the Xiao family has gained the approval of the people in Fengcheng, and the border war has gradually stabilized."

"Suddenly let Xiao Jiu appear in everyone's sight again, I'm afraid that someone with a heart will make trouble in secret!"

Meng Fang said this passage with a heavy tone.

He grew up in the army since he was a child, and his father was also a partner who joined the army with Old General Xiao when he was young.

His father passed away in the war, and he has been following the old general, and has been in and out of the Xiao family almost since he was young, so he is naturally indignant about what happened to the Xiao family.

Seeing the young man who caused the disaster reappear in Xiao's mansion, Meng Xin was so anxious that his heart jumped.

"General, you must think carefully about this matter!"

"In addition to his special status, that child is a born ominous person. It is too dangerous to be placed next to the young lady like this!"

"That incident back then was not simple. If outsiders who came and went in the mansion recognized Xiaojiu, everyone in the Xiao family, the Xiao family army and the 30 troops stationed outside the city, even Xiaojiu himself might lose his life at any time. what!"

The old general sat quietly in the chair and listened to Meng Fangman's words. This was the first time he showed a panicked look in front of him.
