Chapter 246

Xiao He wanted to look as kind as possible.

But I never thought that with such a cold aura, any smile would scare children.

The child was stunned and said nothing.

Other children also gathered in a group and looked at Xiao He with fear.

Fortunately, Ji Yue had already bought candies over there. He hurriedly stepped forward and gave a few to the children. Then he said, "Are you not afraid? I'm just asking."

The candies are very sweet.

After the children took the candy, they were finally not so afraid.

"I heard what Xiao Huzi said!"

Xiao Huzi: "It was Erya who taught me!"

Erya: "It was the street master who taught me how to sing!"

…

It's really not that quick to figure out what's passed on one by one.

Ji Yue stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Master, why don't you go back first? I will send people to investigate this matter. They will definitely find out who made the news."

Xiao He's eyebrows darkened slightly, and he said a faint 'hmm', then looked at the group of children and threatened, "No more singing."

Children, look at me, I look at you, and then nodded to Xiao He.

Xiao He had no interest in wandering around, so he got back on the carriage and returned to his house.

But unexpectedly, Xiao's mother had been waiting in the house for a long time.

Seeing Xiao He come back, Xiao's mother immediately grabbed him, "How is it? What did the emperor say to you?"

Seeing Xiao's mother so worried, Xiao He just smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, mother, the emperor is just catching up with me."

Hearing this, Mother Xiao raised her lips, smiled and nodded, but her face looked a little ugly.

Xiao He naturally noticed it and asked, "Does Mom have anything else to ask me?"

Xiao's mother frowned and said in a low voice, "People in the house said that they heard some gossip on the street today, which made my mother feel a little uneasy."

Gossip?

Intuition told Xiao He that it was related to Qiao Nian.

Immediately, he frowned and asked, "It doesn't matter if you say it, mother."

Mother Xiao took a deep breath and then said, "Perhaps someone saw Lin Yuan when he was picked up yesterday. People on the street today are saying that Lin Yuan almost died in the Xiao family and was killed by Nian Nianke."

Expected that.

Xiao He's entire aura darkened.

Xiao's mother knew that he was unhappy, but she still had to say something, "Those people said it in a serious way. What they said was that Prince Ming and Niannian died shortly after they were given the marriage, and then Niannian was with Jing Yan on the street. They hugged each other, but Jing Yan died not long after. She was said to have a tough life and would defeat anyone she got close to. Even the old lady in the Hou Mansion was..."

"mother!"

Xiao He interrupted Mother Xiao in a deep voice, "The old lady of the Hou Mansion is already in failing health. Heng'er will deliver medicine to the Hou Mansion every month. You know this too. How can you blame Niannian for this matter?" ?”

Xiao's mother noticed that Xiao He was angry and said hurriedly, "Mother didn't mean that. These are all spread by outsiders. Mother is just worried..."

"Don't take it to heart what outsiders say." Xiao He's voice was light. If someone else had said these words to him today, I'm afraid he would have wiped his neck.

It was Xiao Mu's words that made him endure it.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the anger in his heart, Xiao He just said softly, "Mom, I can stand up today all because of my thoughts. Obviously, everyone in our house was still grateful for my thoughts yesterday. Only then did I pass. One night, an unfounded crime was laid on her. How would she feel if she found out? "

Xiao's mother also knew that she shouldn't have said that to Qiao Nian.

At that moment, he frowned tightly and sighed, "Mom, I don't have any weird thoughts, they are all people from outside... That's all. Ignore those rumors, and gradually no one will talk about them."

"Yes, don't pay attention." Xiao He then smiled at Xiao's mother, "Then, mother, I'll go back and rest first."

"Okay, okay, you go back and rest first!" Xiao's mother responded repeatedly.

Seeing Xiao He bow to her and then go away, Xiao's mother's face became increasingly ugly.

She only waited for Xiao He to go away before she turned to look at the nanny waiting behind her, "Go and get the marriage certificate that Nian Nian got married to He Er, copy down Nian Nian's horoscope, and send it to Ci'en of Fahua Temple. Master, take a look."

Before they got married, their horoscopes had not been approved by anyone. After all, in front of the emperor's decree of marriage, if Qiao Nian didn't marry Xiao He, she would have to marry Xiao Heng. How could she care about the horoscopes?

But now, the rumors outside are getting more and more intense, and Mother Xiao is really worried.

Prince Ming, Jing Yan, and even the old lady of the Hou Mansion were indeed people close to Qiao Nian.

Then, will it be He'er's turn next?

She is not a particularly superstitious person, but when it comes to He'er's safety, she can't help but care.

I just thought that Master Ci'en was an eminent monk after all. If Qiao Nian was really tough and mastered the people around him, perhaps Master Ci'en could find a way to resolve it.

Xiao He returned to his yard.

Before he entered the door, he stood outside the door, took a deep breath, adjusted the emotion on his face, and then entered the yard.

The sun in early summer is already a bit harsh.

Fortunately, the plane tree in the courtyard is big enough, and its lush branches and leaves are like a huge umbrella, shielding it from the scorching sun.

Qiao Nian was sitting in the shade of the tree, eating peaches with Ningshuang.

Seeing Xiao He and Ji Yue coming back, Ningshuang stood up first and saluted, and then said, "Master, come quickly. These peaches have just been fished out of the well water. They are cool and can relieve the heat!"

Xiao He smiled faintly, and before he responded, he had already walked under the tree.

Ji Yue followed behind, and couldn't help but joked, "It's early summer and you want to get rid of the heat? What if you wait another month?"

As he said that, he reached out to take the peach.

Ning Shuang snorted coldly and snatched the peach away, "If you don't need to get rid of the heat, what will you eat?"

"You!" Ji Yue was stunned, but he seemed helpless against Ning Shuang's "arrogance".

Qiao Nian looked at this scene and couldn't help laughing, "Ning Shuang, don't bully me."

Ning Shuang curled her lips and handed the peach to Ji Yue.

Ji Yue took it and smiled proudly, "It's still the eldest young lady who cares about me!"

Ning Shuang sneered at this.

Xiao He said, "Should we dig a well in our yard?"

Hearing this, several people were stunned.

Qiao Nian couldn't help asking, "What's the point of digging a well?"

Xiao He glanced at the bucket beside him and said, "Digging a well will be convenient for chilling melons, peaches and the like in summer."

In previous years, he was alone, and he could survive the hot summer.

Now that Qiao Nian is here, he has to find a way to make her live more comfortably.

Ji Yue nodded repeatedly, "I'll do it in a while!"

It's just digging a well, a small matter!

Qiao Nian and Ning Shuang looked at each other. They both understood that Xiao He suddenly proposed to dig a well for Qiao Nian.

But, she was leaving.

Qiao Nian put down the peach in her hand, coughed lightly, and then said, "I have something I want to tell Brother Xiao..."
