Prince Anyang followed Li Xiao’s line of sight and looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue was actually looking straight at him, a trace of interest appeared in his eyes.
As expected, she was not an ordinary woman. Not only was she intelligent, but she was also bold.
Also, if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed that a cold and arrogant person like Nangong Xiao would actually be so gentle to a woman.
In front of him, she called her his wife.
It was obvious how much Nangong Xiao loved his wife.
“Yue’er, meet the Young Master,” Then, Li Xiao introduced him to Lin Xiaoyue in a gentle voice.
How could Lin Xiaoyue not understand?
She curtsied and bowed to Prince Anyang.
“Greetings, Young Master.” She said gently.
“Haha, there’s no need to be so polite Ms. Lin.” Prince Anyang smiled.
“Thank you,” Lin Xiaoyue replied with a smile, then she stood up with Li Xiao’s help.
“You have had a tough journey. Please come in.” Then, she took two steps away with Li Xiao and made a “please” gesture to Prince Anyang and the others.
This person addressed her as Ms. Lin instead of Mrs. Li. She was very happy.
She could freely express herself.
Yes, she was actually a little worried before.
After all, in the ancient society where men ruled, she probably didn’t even have the right to speak.
As for Li Xiao, he was strong and intelligent, but he could not speak as well as her.
Therefore, it was more appropriate for her to negotiate.
Anyway, wasn’t he a live-in son-in-law? As the mistress of the household, it was also reasonable for her to do so.
“Alright.” Prince Anyang responded and entered the Liu residence.
When they reached the hall, Liang Yu arranged for two guards to stand guard outside.
The others entered.
Zhao Fu came to deliver tea, but he was stopped at the door.
Lin Xiaoyue explained to the guards and he was let in.
Zhao Fu was nervous and didn’t dare to raise his head.
He poured tea for everyone and quickly left.
Prince Anyang was invited to the main seat. After sitting down, he looked at the couple gently.
“It’s been a long time since we last met in the capital, Nangong.”
Li Xiao did not raise his head to look at Prince Anyang. He only raised his arms and cupped his fists.
“Your Highness, you flatter me. I am just a commoner now.”
Nangong Xiao was already a dead man. The day he was resurrected would be the day of reckoning.
As for now, he was only Li Xiao.
Prince Anyang looked at Li Xiao and paused for a moment.
Then, he smiled and patted his thigh.
“Yes, I misspoke…”
Then, Liang Yu interjected and mentioned that Prince Anyang was now incharge of Anyang County.
The couple was a little surprised, but more than that, they were happy.
This way, it would be much easier to bring back the Nangong Army as well as opening the chain stores next year. Everything was related to business.
As Li Xiao was not good with words and did not like to talk, he did not speak much.
Under Liang Yu’s guidance, Prince Anyang finally spoke to Li Xiao.
“The matter between the Great General and the Nangong family is the fault of the Murong family.” Prince Anyang stood up as he spoke.
Then, he bowed to Li Xiao.
“On behalf of the Murong family, 1 apologize to you.”
Li Xiao was stunned.
He stood up and returned the bow to Prince Anyang.
“Your Highness is too serious. This is one person’s fault and it has nothing to do with the Murong family.” He said in a deep voice.
In other words, he only hated Emperor Yan and had nothing to do with the rest of the Murong family.
Did he really not hate the others? How was this possible?
However, he wouldn’t attack the entire Murong clan out of hatred.
Furthermore, Prince Anyang would not allow it.
In addition, his Qing’er’s surname was still Murong after all…
When Prince Anyang heard this, he felt a little relieved.
He was really afraid that Li Xiao would hate the entire Murong family. In this case, how could he use him?
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. 1 have no intention of betraying the Great Yan and the Murong Clan. 1 only hope that I can help my father and the Nangong family clear their names.” Li Xiao suddenly said. Then, he knelt down on one knee at Prince Anyang.
Prince Anyang was delighted. He quickly helped Li Xiao up.
“Please get up.”
“It was Father’s fault…he listened to the slanderous words of a villain…”
Prince Anyang quickly expressed his heartache, looking as if he was heartbroken by the Nangong family’s incident.
After a long while, he turned to Li Xiao and said, “Li Xiao, don’t worry….”
