Walking into the gate of Xiahou's house, passing through the fragrant garden, passing by the gorgeous pavilions and pavilions, and bypassing the rockeries and rocks, Wei Yang took a breath and stepped into the stairs of the main house. The furniture and lush bonsai, in a simple and simple style, are like being in an aristocratic home in ancient China.
She thought that even when her father was alive, she had never visited the main residence of the Xiahou family, one of the three giants. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but curl her lips and smiled happily.
The old housekeeper in a long gown, with white hair, withered but unusually tall and straight, is really old and strong. When he saw Wei Yang and Mo Wen approaching, he quickly stepped forward and waved someone to take the salute from Mo Wen, and then He bowed politely and made an inviting gesture, "Welcome Miss, welcome Young Master Mo." According to his title, Xia Houxuan had informed the family in advance that her current identity was the eldest lady of the Xiahou family.
"Old Shen, long time no see." Mo Wen's attitude towards the old housekeeper is quite respectful, because this old Shen was the one who accompanied the old Xiahou's army and horses all his life. His bearing, his demeanor, and his past brilliant deeds, Even the old man of his family admired it.
"Young Master Mo has become tougher, and his future generations are terrifying." Listening to Mo Wen's words, Old Shen's expressionless face suddenly softened, and it could be seen that he liked and admired Mo Wen very much.
"Haha, that's it!" Mo Wen showed no modesty, laughing with a bright and sunny voice, and then said as he walked, "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, the world always belongs to young people!"
"Young Master Mo is still so confident, Mr. Mo is blessed." Old Shen's face showed some joy, but he didn't show a smile. He should be a more serious person.
Wei Yang walked aside, silently observing the old housekeeper.
"Hehe, let Shen Lao Ji's words." Mo Wen smiled happily, accepted all the compliments unceremoniously, and then asked, "Is the old master there?"
"Master is already waiting for the two of you in the study." The servants in the main house used to call the old master Xiahou—Xiahou Xi the master, and Xiahou Xuan the young master. Xiahouxi had a total of two sons and three daughters. Unfortunately, the eldest son died young, and the second son was assassinated because of a trip to the Middle East and died young. The three daughters grew up peacefully. The first two daughters were married to the head of the Xiahou family. Now they are living happily. It is a pity that the youngest daughter, Xiahouxuan's mother, Xiahou Qingxue, married Xiahou. Xuan, the guy who didn't know how to cherish, died within a year of giving birth to Xiahou Xuan, and Xia Houjian's statement was that he died of weakness.

"Don't be afraid." Mo Wen quietly held Wei Yang's small hand, tilted his head and said softly.
"Huh?" Wei Yang was taken aback for a moment, then looked sideways, the big man who was always rough, his cheeks slowly turned bright red under her gaze, she couldn't help giggling, "I'm not afraid, don't ask help me It's on."
Mo Wen felt like a fire was burning on his face, so hot that he could fry an egg on it, he nodded confusedly, he didn't dare to speak, and his feet became vain, but fortunately, he didn't. One could see his strangeness, oh of course, except for a reddened face!
Shen Lao knocked on the door, and an old but tough male voice came out through the door: "Come in."
Wei Yang took a breath. No matter whether the people inside recognized her or not, all she could do now was to take one step at a time, and she also had to try to trust Xia Houxuan—he could really keep her safe.
"Weiyang." Sitting behind the large desk is a smiling white-haired old man, dressed in a black robe embroidered with silver borders, elegant and gentle, but such an old man, no one can see that he once turned the tide. Bringing a defeated second-rate family to its current peak. And often the bones are dead after a success. Such an old man who looks really kind and kind, his feet were once covered with white bones.
Wei Yang looked at the old man with a gleam in his eyes, remembering Mo Wen's evaluation of him, the words "kindness and kindness", the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, what kind of benevolence and kind eyes! It's all a piece of skin! This thing is just an old fox! Ten years later, this fox hasn't changed at all except for a little gray hair, okay?
"Xiahou is the master of the family, I have been looking forward to it for a long time." Wei Yang was at ease as soon as he came, and nodded to the old fox.
Xia Houxi looked at Wei Yang, who had grown up, but his heart was full of different feelings. This girl is undoubtedly a born king of darkness. When she was five years old, she could deal with a big man in his twenties alone without changing his face. She is proficient in medicine, poison, martial arts, marksmanship, etc. If it wasn't for the fact that she suddenly announced her withdrawal from the battle with Wei Lan two years ago, it would be difficult for anyone to conclude that the real head of the Wei family is , who will be.

"Mo Wen, your father is already waiting for you at home, let's go home first." Xiahou Xi asked Mo Wen to leave first.
Mo Wen looked at Wei Yang worriedly, and said again in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, I'll go home and I'll be right back." Then, he turned and left.
After Shen Lao closed the door, Wei Yang raised his smooth and delicate chin slightly, then turned around and walked to the wooden chair, sat down, she curled her lips and smiled and said, "Xiahouxi, stay safe. It's a pity I don't. You know, is this the first time I've seen you in ten years?"
"Of course." Xia Houxi had long known Wei Yang's arrogant attitude, and he was not dissatisfied with her practice of calling her by her first name. After all, she used to be the head of a large family, although she was only the head of the agent.
"You know, I lost my memory for ten years. I think you will be happy to tell me what happened to Wei Yang in the past ten years." Wei Yang was very confident, she knew that Xia Houxi would definitely tell her what he said. know everything because he needs her help.
"Hehehe..." Xia Houxi laughed lowly, looking very happy, he leaned back in his chair, knocked on the table, and said, "Even if you don't have ten years of memory, Miss Wei, still So arrogant and arrogant, but I appreciate it. As for your affairs, of course I am happy to tell you. You should remember that when you were eight years old, your father died. "
Wei Yang felt a little pain in his heart, but he still had a bright smile on his face, nodded and motioned for Xiahou Xi to continue.
"Your father died, so you immediately became the deputy head of the family. Your father had many mistresses outside, you should know that, and one of them didn't pay attention, he accidentally left seeds outside, it was a boy, the current head of Wei , Wei Lan. He came to your house after your eighth birthday, and became your half-brother. Because he was respected by several of the Wei family, he officially had the right to inherit the Wei family. So, you naturally started a competition, but two years ago, you announced your withdrawal and gave up your position as head of the family to Wei Lan." Xia Houxi said what he knew, but in the end he still frowned and asked. He said, "But I have never understood why you quit. It is clear that as long as you persevere, you are 80% sure that you will get the position of headship."
"I don't remember these things at all, how would I know that I was so stupid back then?" Wei Yang shrugged, she didn't care about the past, what she wanted was the current situation: "Then my more What about Wei?"
Wei Yang's Yuewei has a total of four people, who are absolutely loyal to Wei Yang's direct subordinates. Obviously, Wei Lan can't use Wei Yang's troops. Wei Lan's current direct subordinates are "Blood Guards".
"I don't know that, but there seems to be some news that Yuewei left the Wei family after you died in a sea of flames." Xia Houxi said, and suddenly laughed again, "I'm from the rival family of your Wei family. It would be good for the former person in power to know this information, if you know everything in detail, you, the eldest lady of the Wei family, will probably jump your feet."
Wei Yang's mouth twitched, and he cursed at the thousand-year-old fox!
