Zhao Xiaotian took a sip of tea and said to Li Qingqing: "Qingqing, your grandfather was someone I trusted when he was alive. Back then, our Zhao family moved abroad. Your grandfather also wanted to leave with us at that time. I asked him to stay. You and Xiaoxu can get married, which can be said to make our relationship even closer. Dad, I apologize for not being able to attend your wedding!"

"Dad, we can understand the situation you were in at that time. You worked so hard for the Zhao family, how can we blame you!" Li Qingqing said.

"No!" Zhao Xiaotian shook his head and said, "At the beginning, Xiaoxu's mother told me that the only thing she asked me to do was to attend Xiaoxu's wedding in person. I broke my promise!"

Zhao Xu and Li Qingqing looked at each other and chose silence at the same time.

With a sad look on his face, Zhao Xiaotian said: "I, Zhao Xiaotian, have been worthy of the Zhao family in my life. But the people I am most ashamed of are Xiaowan and Xiaoxu. At that time, I had no choice but to choose to be with Liu Wenyin."

"Okay! I won't tell you these old things. What I want to tell you is that the guardian rings of the five great families are the keys to open Shen Gong's tomb. Now you have the Zhao family's and Qin family's rings in your hands. Guard the ring. Xiaoxu wants to open the treasure in Shen Gong’s tomb, and I have no objection to that. After guarding it for so many years, it’s time to let Shen Gong’s treasure see the light of day again.”

"However! This is destined to be a road full of thorns. Qingqing, you are a good girl. You should help Xiaoxu more."

"Xiao Xu! Don't follow dad's old path and sacrifice your family around you for the sake of your family."

Li Qingqing nodded and said: "Before, I didn't know that Zhao Xu was your son. After knowing that he was your son, I finally understood why grandpa insisted on letting me marry Zhao Xu. Dad, don't worry Come on! Zhao Xu and I will definitely live a good life, and we will do our best to help him."

Zhao Xu took Li Qingqing's hand and said to Zhao Xiaotian: "I will not follow your old path again. In this life, I will only let Qingqing be my wife!"

Li Qingqing glanced at Zhao Xu and felt deeply moved!

Zhao Xiaotian nodded excitedly and said, "That's good! That's good!"

"When a child grows up, he will eventually take his own path. Xiaoxu, my father is old and can no longer handle many things. This family will depend on you from now on."

Zhao Xu's eyes showed persistence, and he said: "Don't worry! I will do what you want to do unswervingly."

After leaving Zhao Xiaotian's room, Zhao Xu asked his wife Li Qingqing: "Qingqing, did you cry in dad's room before?"

Li Qingqing knew that she couldn't hide it from Zhao Xu, so she nodded and said, "Dad, you told me about what happened between him and your mother. You also know that I am a more emotional person and can be easily moved, so I burst into tears. ."

In fact, Li Qingqing's words did not tell the whole truth.

What Zhao Xiaotian told Li Qingqing about him and Qin Wan was true, but it was just that this incident touched the secret hidden in Li Qingqing's heart that made her cry.

After Zhao Xu and Li Qingqing came out, they came to the place where their daughters Ye Zi and Zhao Nian were playing, and met Zhao Han.

Zhao Han greeted Zhao Xu and Li Qingqing happily and said, "Brother Xu, sister-in-law!"

Zhao Xu said: "Xiaohan, are you still used to living here?"

"Not bad!" Zhao Han smiled sweetly.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that you are going to the provincial capital with my brother Xu?" Zhao Han asked.

Li Qingqing nodded and said: "Your brother said that I stay between home and work all day long, and he wants to take me out for a walk."

"I really want to go too!" Zhao Han's eyes flashed with anticipation.

Zhao Xu comforted his cousin Zhao Han and said, "Xiao Han, you better not go! Now, it is safest for you to stay in the Five Ethnic Village. If you go outside rashly, you will be in danger."

"But I can't hide in the Five Ethnic Village all my life, right?"

"No!" Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "The provincial capital is within the scope of Dongchang. I can't take you there."

Li Qingqing also tried her best to intercede for Zhao Han.

It would be really dangerous if I took Zhao Han with me.

Li Qingqing said to Zhao Han: "Xiao Han, next time we go somewhere else, I'll stay with you! The provincial capital is really too dangerous."

Zhao Han said with a resentful expression: "Okay! Then next time, if you go out together, remember to take me with you."

"Brother Xu, when does school open? I'm so bored staying here all day." Zhao Han asked.

"It's already under preparation! However, for the time being, the students can only be from our five major families. So, can you do it alone? Do you need me to help you recruit an assistant?"

"Yes! If there is a suitable candidate, you can recommend one for me."

An idea flashed in Li Qingqing's mind and she said, "Then let Qin Ling'er help you!"

"Okay! I'll talk to Ling'er later."

As long as Zhao Han does not leave the Five Ethnic Village, Zhao Xu can comply with any conditions she has.

People from the five major families are safe in the Five Ethnic Village. Once they leave here, no one can guarantee what will happen.

Qin Ling'er is now quite old, and she has been living a life of hiding here and there with Master Qin.

She has missed the best age to go to school and can only complete her studies through online self-study and the guidance of Mr. Qin.

With Zhao Han taking Qin Linger, this little girl will definitely grow up as soon as possible.

Zhao Xu also thinks his wife Li Qingqing’s suggestion is good.

After returning home, Zhao Xu told Li Qingqing about Yang Lan's cocktail party held in the provincial capital.

After hearing this, Li Qingqing said jokingly to Zhao Xu: "Xiaolan, I really think about you! Aren't you touched?"

"I'm so touched!"

"Then do you have any other ideas?"

"Qingqing, are you jealous?" Zhao Xu smiled.

Li Qingqing glared at Zhao Xu and said: "Who wants to be jealous of you? However, this cocktail party will inevitably bring many rich young men and ladies from the provincial capital. You! It's better to keep a low profile so as not to provoke those little vixens.

."

"I'll take you there, so how dare you mess around with others."

"Then you mean, if you don't take me with you, you can get involved with women?"

"Qingqing, you know that's not what I meant." Zhao Xu hurriedly explained to Li Qingqing.

Li Qingqing warned Zhao Xu: "When we are new to a circle, we must pay attention to our words and deeds. The provincial capital is not as good as Lincheng. Don't get carried away just because you have some achievements in Lincheng. You must know that the provincial capital is Dongchang's territory.

, we may encounter danger at any time there."

Zhao Xu took Li Qingqing's soft and delicate hands, nodded and said, "Don't worry! I won't be so reckless, not to mention, you are by my side."
