Chapter 35: The Head of the Xiao Family
Early in the morning, someone arrived at the gate of the Ling family mansion and gave notice to visit.
Adopted brother Duke Ling, also the head of the family of the richest family, Xiao FengHan, will visit Ling Zhan of the Ling family in the afternoon today.
Everyone in the Ling family became busy. The visit of the head of the family of the richest family was no small matter at all. The Ling family chef personally chose the best ingredients to show what they got in the afternoon.
Duke Ling's godson, Ling Kong, ran everywhere, monitoring progress everywhere while preparing for the visit. At the same time, he instructed his son, Ling Zhen, to make sure he left a good impression on the head of the Xiao family later when he saw him! For a figure like the head of the Xiao family, a single compliment from him would change your future!
The moment Duke Ling saw the notice of the visit, he cursed loudly! At the same time, he felt that something was wrong. Since when did that old fox Xiao give me a visit notice when he came? Didn't he just barge in at all times? Why is he so serious this time?
This sudden notice of visitation had too much meaning hidden within it. Ling Zhan was unwilling to think about it deeply. Don't tell me the old man went crazy? Duke Ling thought to himself.
No matter what, he was definitely not happy about something. It also doesn't seem like anything small. Ling Zhan was inevitably confused about the time he had offended that person.
After thinking for half a day, he got completely confused. Ling Zhan then did not bother to think about it any further when he thought to himself: When that old fox Xiao comes later, I should definitely give him a nice scolding! So what if you're rich?
The sun slowly rises to the sky and the sky is free from clouds, signifying good weather. The warm sunlight began to wash away the bone-chilling cold of winter.
Midday is coming soon.
A horse carriage wrapped in black cloth with woven golden chrysanthemums! In the warm sunlight, slowly walked through the streets in a different sound from the foot of a horse hitting the ground.
In front of the horse carriage, there were four men dressed in black with swords on their waists. Their eyes were cold as they led the front of the carriage. On the side of the carriage, there were also two men following closely. Behind the carriage were eight black-clothed men following silently in two neat rows.
Even though it was only one carriage that approached the Ling family mansion, the guards of the mansion could feel a huge pressure coming at them! In an instant, the atmosphere of the place became heavy as the guards felt their breathing become unbalanced. Waves of majestic aura emanated from the black carriage just like that.
As the carriage stopped, a man dressed in black walked to the carriage door and knelt high with one of his fists planted onto the ground. Another man dressed in black then walked forward to lift the veil of the carriage.
A pair of black boots then emerged from the carriage, stepping on the back of the first man. After which, a white-haired old man walked out of the carriage. His face was thin and his body was thin, but his eyes shone because he was still healthy and sound. Following a small laugh, a little girl in a green jacket jumped down from the carriage and was caught by the old man in the air.
A guard had long since gone to warn Ling Zhan as he led a large crowd of people to greet their guests with a face full of smiles.
The old man was naturally the head of the Xiao family, Xiao FengHan. Seeing his sword brother receiving it with a face full of excitement for reuniting with his brother whom he had not seen for a long time, Xiao FengHan could only suppress the unhappiness in his heart. Seeing the uncontrollable smile on his foster brother's face, Xiao FengHan could not help but feel a warm feeling in his heart. At the same time, he began to reminisce about the times they fought together as blood filled the battlefield. He then felt that his actions today were too excessive. Haiz, forget it. I will find time to talk about this. Since we haven't seen each other in a long time, I shouldn't have ruined the atmosphere.
After Xiao FengHan came to the capital, he ordered people to gather information about the young master of the Ling family. The result of the information he had gathered made Xiao FengHan angry to the point that he was about to die! The more he saw the information, the more furious he was. Even though this child was still a child, he was extremely terrifying. If Ling Tian continued to grow like that, the Ling family would definitely be destroyed in his hands! How could Xiao FengHan dare to risk his grandson's happiness like that?
In a moment of anger, he decided to tell the Ling family a visit! The meaning of giving a note of visit is equivalent to an official visit between nations, meaning that everything is official. For Xiao FengHan to give a visit notice with his status, it clearly meant that he wanted Ling Zhan to receive him personally at the door. Xiao FengHan knew that he would definitely make Ling Zhan unhappy, or even angry, by doing so. But as for her own family plan and her grandson's happiness, she felt she had no choice.
Ling Zhan laughed out loud and accepted Xiao FengHan with a tight hug. At this moment, Xiao FengHan also revealed a sincere expression in his eyes as he also spread his hands wide. The two brothers who had gone through a life-and-death fight together finally reunited after five years.
Ling Zhan hugged Xiao FengHan and slapped his back as if he was extremely excited. But when no one else could see it, Ling Zhan whispered into Xiao FengHan's ear, “Xiao FengHan, you ******! If you don't give a proper explanation of today's visit notice, your brother-in-law and I will definitely skin you alive today! ”
Under the warm welcome from the Ling family, the Xiao family entered the Ling house together. Old madam Ling brought the women in the family to greet the head of the Xiao family in the mansion but her face looked cold.
Xiao FengHan took a step forward and cupped his fists, “How could this little sister dare to trouble sister-in-law to welcome me personally? I'm so scared of this hospitality.”
Old mistress Ling did not even flinch as she replied seriously, “The head of the family from the richest family is visiting and I am very flattered by this visit. This old woman must definitely lead the women in the family to greet the head of the Xiao family . ”
Ehh …
Xiao FengHan felt very awkward; he knew this old woman and the three of them had ventured through the continent when they were young. Xiao FengHan was not afraid of anything in this world but simply had great respect for this old woman. There was a time when Xiao FengHan was seriously injured and this brother-in-law had saved him from thousands of enemy troops. It was only after caring for her for seven whole days that she was finally saved from the brink of death. In Xiao FengHan's heart, Ling Zhan and his wife were very important to him! Now that he saw his sister-in-law undergoing the proper ceremony with him, he couldn't help but become confused and his face turned red.
He then looked towards Ling Zhan with a pleading expression only to receive a sly smile from Ling Zhan in return, yang slowly raised his head towards the sky as if there was something pleasant in the sky.
What joke! You are the one who sent the official visit notice. Now that you're in trouble, you want this old man to clean up after you? How could there be such a good thing in this world!
Xiao FengHan gritted his teeth as his face reddened. Helpless, he could only act as if he did not know what was going on, “Err, why is sister-in-law doing this? Did this sister-in-law offend sister-in-law? Brother-in-law, please let me know if I am wrong and I will definitely improve myself. ”
Old madam Ling then replied coldly, “I wouldn't dare! The Xiao family is very wealthy and has sent an official notice of visit to my little Ling family. How dare I not come out to greet you personally? What was wrong with the head of the Xiao family? It should be the Ling family that is wrong! ”
Xiao FengHan then roared towards the black-clothed guards, “Which bastard gave the official notice to visit? Forward!” As he roared, his eyes began to blink rapidly.
The black-clothed guards all stared at each other, dumbfounded. If you don't give the order, who would dare to use your name to send a visit notice? Isn't that just seeking death?
After being stunned for a moment, a black-clothed guard finally regained his senses and took a step forward. While kneeling, he said, “This branch is not doing my job well, I hope the head of the family will punish me!”
Xiao FengHan then kicked him, making him fly while scolding, “Fuck! Do I need to send a visit notice to the Xiao family when I come to visit? Fail in everything you do! Go back and receive a hundred whips from the law enforcement room, you piece of shit that embarrassed me! ” The guard then responds quickly and leaves.
After scolding the guard, Xiao FengHan turned around and said with an apologetic smile, “Sister-in-law, this little brother has absolutely no idea about this matter.”
Madam Ling's lips then twitched as she rolled her eyes. If Old Madam Ling was unable to see that this was just an act, it would be impossible.
Ling Xiao who was beside him saw that the time was right and stepped forward, “Mother, it seems like uncle Xiao really does not know about this. It's just that his men didn't know about the relationship between the two of us, our family, made their own decisions. It was all just a misunderstanding. ”
Xiao FengHan immediately added, “Yes yes yes, it is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Hahaha..” He then looked towards Ling Xiao with gratitude and glared at Ling Zhan.
Old mistress Ling then replied, “Oh, so it was just a misunderstanding.”.
Xiao FengHan wiped the cold sweat on his face, “Yes yes, it was just a misunderstanding. Hehehe...” His voice became dry as if he was an old chicken with a choked neck.
Old madam Ling immediately became warm as she replied, “Because it was just a misunderstanding, let's just forget about it. Eh, this beautiful young lady must be Xueer right? Look at her, how beautiful she is. Come on, come to granny, grandma has something good for you. Mmm, very obedient! ” Kissing the little girl's cheek, old Madame Ling hugged her and walked in with all the women in the family.
Xiao FengHan then sighed in relief. I finally passed this round! But just at that moment, the voice of old mistress Ling sounded, “Ling Xiao, give your uncle Xiao a piece of cloth to wipe his eyes. He looked very tired, blinking his eyes so strongly ..”
