Chapter 165 The Xia Family Arrives
Dark clouds covered the moon, the entire sky was gloomy, and the night became even darker.
At midnight, the entire Xiaotian Village was quiet and every household had fallen asleep.
Several horse-drawn carriages arrived at the entrance of Oda Village, accompanied by a dozen black-clad guards.
The secret guards guarding the two courtyards immediately realized that the carriage was heading towards them, and someone reported it to Xi Zhiyi. Leng Yue went to check the news first, and everyone else became alert.
At this time, no good family would go out. They were worried that someone with bad intentions might hurt the master of the house.
After the carriage was stopped, the Left Prime Minister Xia Leyun, who was sitting in the carriage, opened the door, glanced at him and said, "He is the secret guard of the mistress of the Xi family. Why is he here?"
Leng Yue was also stunned when he saw the person coming. He didn't expect that the Zuo Prime Minister, who held a high position, would come in person and bring his wife with him. This shows how high Miss Xia's status is in the family.
He immediately bowed and said, "My young master is here to look for medicine, and the eldest lady of the Xi family has just arrived. I greet the Left Prime Minister and his wife."
Because it was too dark, he did not see the appearance of the person behind him clearly and just thought he was an ordinary guard.
After the message was passed back first, Xi Zhiyi stood at the door to greet them and sent someone to deliver the message to the Seventh Master of the Xia Family.
Several low-profile carriages stopped at the gate of the He family. Xi Zhiyi bowed respectfully and called out, "Uncle Xia, Aunt Xia, thank you for your hard work along the way."
Xia Leyun looked at the young man in front of him, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, smiling and said, "Not bad, not bad, you are a filial child."
Seeing Xiaoqi coming out from home, he was so angry that he wanted to kick him. He thought so in his heart and actually did so.
He lowered his voice and cursed fiercely, "Xiao Qi, why didn't you send the news back earlier? Did you want to hide your sister and cultivate feelings behind your father's back?"
"That's my little girl, if you want her, just give birth to her yourself."
The Seventh Master of the Xia Family rubbed his buttocks in grievance. In public, he was known as the Divine Doctor Yao. He would lose face if the rumor got out.
However, he said honestly, "I wrote it right away and sent it back 800 miles away. There's no way Dad didn't receive it."
Speaking of this, Xia Yunle felt a little guilty, thinking that he and his wife had set out early, and the guards at home would have delivered the letter to him as soon as they received it.
As a father, he would never admit that, does a father need a reason to teach his son a lesson? There is no reason.
Then a somewhat evil voice was heard, saying word by word: "Dad is right, Xiao Qi must have hidden selfish motives and wanted to monopolize Tenth Sister."
When Xia's Xiaoqi heard the voice, he looked into the darkness in disbelief, and saw a man in a dark robe gradually appearing. He shouted in fear, "Second brother, why are you here?"
In the Xia family, the brothers feared the second elder brother the most, who had no moral principles and was extremely ruthless in his attacks. They, the younger brothers, were always beaten to a pulp, with not a single part of their body being left untouched.
Seeing his appearance, the second brother of the Xia family showed a hint of evil, narrowed his eyes and asked: "Why? Don't you welcome me?"
There was a hint of threat in the faint tone. Xia's Xiaoqi couldn't help but shudder when he thought of his second brother's way of dealing with people.
With a bitter face, he said: "No, no, my brother doesn't dare."
When the people hiding in the dark gradually appeared, Xia's Xiaoqi finally saw them clearly and called out to them one by one: "Fourth brother, sixth brother, eighth brother, you are all here."
In the Xia family, everyone who had finished their work in the capital came, and those who didn't come were just busy. Along the way, they received several letters asking if they had arrived and whether they had picked up their little sister, which made the rest of the people very anxious.
The three Xia brothers nodded and raised their eyebrows slightly, saying, "Yes, Xiaoqi, are you welcome? You won't think we are stealing your sister, will you?"
This time the tone was even more threatening, and even the secret guards felt a chill.
Xia Family Xiaoqi: "!!!"
"Oh, oh, oh... He has a hard life. His brothers are always worried about him. He feels miserable but dares not say it."
After days of traveling in the carriage, the Prime Minister's wife had just come to her senses after landing. She looked at her several troublesome sons and didn't want to take care of them at all. She stared straight at the wooden door of the He family, feeling a little excited and a little timid.
The voice was clear and bright: "Husband, this is the He family. Ning'er is sleeping in the room, right?"
This sentence attracted everyone's attention, and they stared at the wooden door without blinking.
Although he wanted to see his tenth sister very much, the second master of the Xia family thought for a while and said, "My sister is still young and in the period of growth. It's so late at night, so I won't disturb her. I just want to ask my parents to rest in the carriage for one night."
As early as when they entered the village, Xia Yining received a reminder from Chi Yan. When she heard what the person at the door said, it was her second brother, she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips and let out a smile.
I got up and sat up from the bed. Mrs. He was a very light sleeper and noticed it immediately. She asked, "Ning'er, are you going to get up to go to the bathroom? Mother will take you there right away."
In the dark night, Xia Yining looked at Mother He, threw herself into her arms and said, "Mom, someone is coming, right at the door."
Mrs. He paused, and in an instant she guessed who the visitors were at this time. They must be the Xia family members who were in a hurry to get on the road. They must be Ning'er's biological parents.
She pushed the old man and began to dress the little girl silently, but only she knew the overwhelming feeling in her heart.
He suppressed the sadness in his heart, lit the matchmaker lamp and took a deep look at the little girl, as if he wanted to imprint her appearance deeply in his heart.
Xia Yining felt sad when she saw this, so she hugged her and said, "Mom will always be Ning'er's mom, and this will never change."
"Mother, you look like this, Ning'er is scared. Are you not going to have Ning'er anymore?"
When Old Man He woke up and looked at his wife, he said nothing. He just put on his clothes, opened the door to the main hall, and looked at the many people outside the yard.
He shouted at the mother and daughter, "Go, open the door to welcome the relatives from home."
The sound of people talking in the yard could hardly fail to wake up the He Lao Da and his wife who were standing next to the gate. The two of them were already dressed and standing in the yard.
Seeing Granny He holding Ning'er in her arms, the couple almost shed tears, but they tried hard to hold back their tears.
They knew that their parents must be feeling uncomfortable, or even sadder, at this moment.
Hearing the noise, the Xia family members all looked towards the yard at the same time. When they opened the door, they saw a chubby little girl at first sight. Her eyes were very bright and she was observing them one by one.
The first people that caught the He family's attention were the Xia couple. At first glance, they were stunned. The handsome man and beautiful woman standing together were so pleasing to the eyes.
Especially that woman, with fair skin like a lotus, graceful eyebrows, slightly raised eyes, and red lips and teeth.
