Chapter 3453 Purpose

The mysterious man stood outside the door waiting. Lao He took the jade pendant and quickly went to find his wife to make a decision.

Tang Hongyu's face was deep. She held the jade pendant brought by Lao He in her hand. She had seen the same jade pendant once before.

And it was the same shape. These jade pendants were all made from a piece of jade. On the back of each jade pendant, there was a word engraved.

There were five jade pendants in total.

Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness.

The one Tang Hongyu had seen before had righteousness engraved on the back. The owner of that jade pendant was Xiao Yi's father, Xiao Huaiyi.

And the one that appeared today had a letter engraved on the back. Seeing the jade pendant, seeing the person.

When Tang Hongyu held the jade pendant in her hand, she knew who was visiting. The arrival of this person was somewhat unexpected.

"Where is he?"

Tang Hongyu asked. Lao He knew that the owner of the jade pendant was not ordinary, so he did not dare to neglect it.

"Madam, I asked him to wait outside because he was wearing a mask on his face and his identity was unknown. I couldn't let him enter the Han family."

"Please let him in now. Since he chose this way to hide his identity, Lao He, take him through the back door."

"Yes!"

The Han family's position involves too many things, and every word and action on weekdays needs to be cautious.

This person must have known this when he met her in this way. It was precisely because of his carefulness that no one had suspected him until now.

Lao He did as the lady instructed, went out to greet the guest in person, and took him around the front door and entered the Han family through a path at the back door.

Crossing a tree-lined path, in a pavilion in front, Xiao Yi and Han Bing were playing chess. The two were concentrating and did not notice his presence.

He paused for a moment, and finally chose to follow Lao He to the front. Now was not the time to see Xiao Yi.

Crossing the tree-lined path and walking through a garden, in front of the garden was Han Batian's residence.

However, Han Batian had passed away. Only Tang Hongyu was left in the room, and a tablet of Han Batian was placed in the main hall.

"Madam is waiting inside. It is inconvenient for the guest to come here."

"Thank you!"

Following Lao He's footsteps, he came to the door. When he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, the person inside said.

"Come in."

Tang Hongyu heard the footsteps outside. Han Batian had died in the Xiao family before, and some things were not explained to her.

She didn't know what this person's intention was, why he came to the Han family at this time, or whether his original purpose was not for the Han family but for Xiao Yi.

A rosewood door, revealing the vicissitudes of time, this was his second time to come to this place.

In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed. Time is something that sometimes passes really fast. At that time, he followed his second brother to attend Han Batian's wedding banquet.

And now Han Batian's daughter has become Xiao Yi's wife. When people live to their age, they are most likely to sigh that time passes too fast.

Gently pushing open the door, the room was simply furnished, with a hollow carved screen in the main hall and a table in front.

On the table was Han Batian's tablet. The last time I saw Han Batian, I was still talking in front of him. Now there was only this lonely wooden tablet left.

Tang Hongyu sat aside. Even if Han Batian passed away, she, as a wife, still abided by the previous rules of the family and would never change.

A main seat was vacant, and this position would always be reserved for her husband. Tang Hongyu ordered the servants to serve tea.

Regardless of the purpose of this person, since he appeared in the Han family, he was a guest of the Han family and should be entertained according to the rules.

"Sit down."

"Wait a moment!"

The mysterious man took off the mask on his face and stood here openly. They were all acquaintances, so he naturally had no need to hide.

He stepped forward and stood in front of Han Batian's tablet, lit a stick of incense, and inserted it into the incense burner. This was a greeting to the dead.

Turning around and sitting on a chair beside him, Xiao Huaixin did not expect that he would have a chance to come to the Han family again when he was alive.

And the Han family is still the same as it was many years ago, and it has not changed at all. What has changed is always the people.

After Tang Hongyu waited for the servant to make tea, she asked the servant to withdraw. No one was allowed to enter the room easily without her.

The following conversation was crucial. Tang Hongyu wanted to know what Xiao Huaixin's position was.

"I am surprised that you came to the Han family. Isn't there a clear rule in your Xiao family that you can't easily leave the place where the clan members live?"

The rules of the Xiao family are indeed like this, but the rules are dead and people are alive.

"If the rules of the Xiao family are really followed by everyone, those things before would not have happened, right?"

"It seems that all the things said about you over the years are false."

Although the Han family had broken off relations with the Xiao family before and no longer had any contact, some things about the Xiao family could still float to their ears more or less.

The most controversial one among them is Xiao Huaixin of the Xiao family. Everyone says that Xiao Huaizhi is crazy. Not only did he drive away his woman overnight, but his temperament has changed drastically.

He is addicted to wine and sex, and even Xiao Qian is pissed off. No one can do anything about this man.

It's just that the Xiao family has a successor, so Xiao Huaixin can make trouble as he pleases, just don't do anything excessive.

However, when I saw Xiao Huaixin again today, I was sure that those statements were all false. Xiao Huaixin did this on purpose to make outsiders think that he was useless.

"To be honest, I am afraid of death. I don't know when I will follow in the footsteps of my second brother, so in order to survive, I must do this."

"Could Xiao Huaili do the same to you?"

"I don't want to be with a heartless and ungrateful person. Besides, if I want to do something, I must disguise myself so that I can hide it from his eyes."

Xiao Huaixin has done a lot over the years, but others have not seen it and have never mentioned it to anyone.

Tang Hongyu seemed to understand something. Xiao Huaixin still chose to stand on the opposite side of his third brother.

"I'm sorry that Han Batian went to the Xiao family last time and failed to let him leave alive. This was my mistake."

"What's the point of saying this now? Besides, this is his fate. He has already realized it. I think even if he does it again, he will choose to do this."

Xiao Huaixin thought that as long as he secretly moved the woman from the Jiang family away, he could stop the development of the situation.

He underestimated Xiao Huaili's cruelty. He could even kill his own brother, not to mention Xiao Yi, who was bent on revenge.

"Actually, my original purpose today was to find Xiao Yi. Now it is not convenient for us to meet, so I hope you can help convey what I said."
