Cheng Tianyuan turned sideways and asked confusedly: "What's wrong? What are you doing so early? It's not dark outside yet."
Xue Ling explained with a low smile: "I have slept too much in the past two days and I have been unable to fall asleep for a long time. If you sleep a little longer, I will go for a walk in the back garden."
"Yeah." Cheng Tianyuan muttered: "If the wind is strong, remember to add some clothes."
Xue Ling took a thin shirt and put it on. After washing, he drank a glass of warm water and walked slowly around the living room to the back garden.
The garden was quiet except for the lively chirping of birds.
The lights in the big kitchen were already on, and from time to time, Old Master Li could be heard coughing slightly, as well as a few unauthentic Peking Opera songs he sang from time to time.
Xue Ling took a walk for two laps while enjoying the comfortable cool breeze in the morning. Feeling a little thirsty, she went around to the living room to pour hot water.
Unexpectedly, someone was sleeping in the big living room!
Xue Ling thought it was Xiao Chong at first, but when he took a closer look, it turned out to be Chen Xinzhi!
She raised her eyebrows, poured a glass of water gently, turned around and was about to leave.
"...Madam?" Chen Xinzhi opened his eyes and asked confusedly: "Why did you get up so early? Are you feeling better about the heat stroke?"
Xue Ling turned around and smiled slightly: "Okay, it's okay. I'll go for a walk in the garden, and you can go back to sleep."
After saying this, she quietly left the living room and returned to the back garden.
The east has lit up, and a cool breeze is blowing. The wind carries the fragrance of flowers and the fresh taste of grass, which refreshes people's spirits.
Xue Ling simply put down the water glass, relaxed his limbs and did simple stretching exercises.
At this time, Chen Xinzhi brought a glass of water and walked over slowly.
Xue Lingxiao asked: "Did I wake you up? Can't you sleep?"
"It's okay." Chen Xinzhi explained: "I went out last night. When I came back, Xiaoxin was already asleep, so I didn't go in to disturb her. There happened to be no one in the living room at the time, so I slept on the sofa. I slept for six or seven times. Hours are enough."
Xue Ling knew that he was busy and couldn't help but persuade: "Xiaoxin is almost healed. Don't run around all the time. Just do what you need to do. Don't worry, there are so many people in the family, we can definitely take good care of her." .”
"Well." Chen Xinzhi lowered his eyes and looked at the clear and transparent warm water in the cup, "Madam, you have already taken care of the Qi family. I have to say 'thank you' to you in person. My foundation in the imperial capital is shallow. We can't deal with them for the time being, but luckily you took action in time."
"My family doesn't talk about the two families." Xue Ling said warmly: "You are also our child, and we should protect you. Besides, you are also working so hard for Xiaoxin. I have to protect you both emotionally and rationally. you."
"Madam, you...don't blame me for being too impulsive, right?" Chen Xinzhi asked quietly, "If so, please just speak to me and lecture me. You are an elder, I will never say anything back."
Xue Ling laughed, stopped stretching and sat in front of him.
"In ancient times, there was a saying that 'a beauty becomes a beauty in anger'. You almost overthrew the imperial capital because of Xiaoxin. As a half-tempered person, I have nothing but admiration. One is your biological mother, and the other is Your beloved woman, we won’t be too surprised by what extreme things you can do. What’s more, you are still calm and restrained, and have not made things get out of hand. I am satisfied and admired. How could you do this? I blame you."
He gave the Qi family a slap in the face, and also taught He Siyuan a hard lesson.
Although he was impulsive and angry, he did not lose his mind, things were still under control, and he was very powerful in the negotiations between her and the Qi family.
"The hole that He Siyuan dug this time is too big, and not everyone can cover it up. I told Third Sister Qi that if we have to bear it, we have absolutely legitimate reasons to stand on the side of justice, and we also have the absolute strength to fight with them
spell."
Chen Xinzhi's eyes were cold and he shook his head: "Without the support of the Qi family, the He family would not dare to do so. The He family's strength is far inferior to yours, so when they found out that Qi Laoqi was sick, the entire Qi family stood by your side.
They don’t dare to be arrogant at all.”
Xue Ling smiled slightly: "I said it directly. They took the child back to heal and educate him. I also took Xiaoxin back to take good care of him. For the sake of Mr. Qi, I will smooth everything over and pretend that nothing happened.
However, if I dare to pester you or embarrass you or Xiaoxin, I will not hesitate and risk the power of the entire Xue family. They quickly agreed to my proposal, and everything went back to zero, and everything was calm."
"Lao Qi..." Chen Xinzhi asked, "What are your plans?"
Xue Ling replied: "Let's do it as usual. He is still Xiaoxin's master, and he is still an elder who we all must be filial and respectful to. He has a noble character, is upright and upright, and is a good senior who deserves the respect and love of our juniors."
"Yeah." Chen Xinzhi said softly: "I asked someone to find a box of top-quality blood swallows. Xiaoxin said that she was worried about his old man and wanted to visit him. I asked her to take the blood swallows there and talk to him."
"You can go too," Xue Ling said.
Chen Xinzhi raised his eyebrows and hesitated slightly.
"Madam, I have only met him once, and -"
"His old man has a very good impression of you." Xue Ling explained warmly: "Originally, I promised to leave it to him to make arrangements, but who knew that you and A Yuan couldn't wait and went directly to the resort island to take action. His old man didn't say anything in the end.
What, and he has been on our side from beginning to end. Although the matter has passed, you and Xiaoxin still have to visit him in person and thank him properly. "
"Okay." Chen Xinzhi agreed readily.
Xue Ling whispered: "Don't be afraid of anything, everything is business as usual. Whatever you did before, continue to do it now. There are not only new nobles like the He family in the imperial capital, but also a bunch of old nobles who are still strong. Although the Xue family is not as good as before
, but I am definitely capable of protecting all of you juniors."
"Thank you, madam." Chen Xinzhi whispered gratefully: "Thanks to you for taking care of my business in the two years since I came to the imperial capital, otherwise it would not have been so smooth."
“Haha!”
"Thank you." Chen Xinzhi toasted: "Madam, if you hadn't stopped my mother from jumping off the building in time, I would have become a lonely orphan. If it hadn't been for your family's generous help, my mother and I might have been living in hardship for many more years.
It was you and your husband who opened a new and beautiful door for me, giving our family a new life. I didn’t dare to expect to call you ‘Mom’ before. God allowed Xiaoxin and I to fall in love with each other, and also gave me this honor to be able to call you ‘Mom’ in the future.
I call you 'Mom'. I'm looking forward to it and will do my best."
Xue Ling smiled happily and raised his glass: "I'm very happy too, and feel honored."
The two of them raised their glasses and drank together. Even though it was just warm water, their hearts were full of hot, exciting and sincere emotions. At this time, no wine was better than wine.
