"Lin Yan, it's really you!"

When he left the suburbs and walked to the street, Lin Yan suddenly heard someone calling him in the bookstore next to him.

This man has no white face and elegant temperament. He is wearing a blue shirt and holding two new books in his arms. He looks like a scholar. If it weren't Xia Siye Xia Anzhi, who is it?

Lin Yan has always had a good impression of Xia Anzhi. Xia Anzhi was one of the few people he really cared about when he was a chore in Xia Mansion. He was always grateful for this. Xia Anzhi's straightforward nature also made him feel relieved to hand over the other party the matter of washing away the fifth wife's grievances.

"Hello, Fourth Master." Lin Yan greeted Xia Anzhi politely, and the two of them walked to the corner of the wall.

Xia Anzhi was obviously surprised to meet Lin Yan here and kept smiling, but there was a hint of unnaturalness in his smile, so Lin Yan could see it easily.

Lin Yan knew that this must be related to Xia Tianlong and Xia Ping's death. After all, these two people are Xia Anzhi's relatives.

"Lin Yan, I thought you had left Xiaoshui City long ago, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

Before Lin Yan answered, Xia Anzhi immediately said: "I have handled all the matters in Xia Mansion. The grievances between you and the fifth lady have been washed away. Now everyone in the Xia Mansion knows that Xia Ping did such dirty things. Fortunately, you escaped safely and helped the head of the family restore the truth. The head of the family made a wrong judgment and caused the fifth lady to drown. Afterwards, he blamed himself and took poison to commit suicide not long ago."

Lin Yan had already heard the trick from Xia Anzhi's words. Although the grievances between him and the fifth wife had been washed away, it was obvious that Xia Anzhi still did not want to make a big mistake in the family, so he made a great change in the issue of Xia Tianlong, and even portrayed Xia Tianlong, who was originally the murderer, into a righteous and emotional good person. He established the innocent image of Xia Tianlong by "taking poison suicide", which must have won sympathy from the Xia family.

Lin Yan felt a little unhappy because of this, and said a few words: "What about?"

Xia Anzhi also knew that things were not handled according to Lin Yan's original wishes, and his face became even more unnatural, but he could only bite the bullet and talk down.

"Then we did a ritual for Mrs. Fifth, so that she could live a peaceful life in the underworld. At the same time, the truth was also passed to Mrs. Fifth. Now Mrs. Fifth has entered the family genealogy and can be buried in the family cemetery."

Lin Yan felt a little more uncomfortable. At least the fifth lady would not have to suffer any unjust injustice.

"What did Xia Shihu and the other five teachers do? You must have not told the truth, right?" Since Xia Tianlong is already a victim, the six people assigned by Xia Tianlong to chase him naturally cannot have anything to do with Xia Tianlong.

Lin Yan was also curious and wanted to see how Xia Anzhi dealt with it. In the past, he thought Xia Anzhi was a stubborn person. Now it seems that in order to preserve the image of the Xia family, Xia Anzhi changed the mind of a scholar and chose to do some tricks to cover up some of the truth.

Knowing that Lin Yan would ask such a question, Xia Anzhi would tell the truth.

"I know that the eldest brother sent the third brother and five teachers to chase you, but the others were not clear about it, so I took advantage of this. I just said that the six of them suddenly disappeared, and the whole mansion was not aware of it, and they are still sending people to find them. Anyway, my third brother has formed some enemies as a warrior on weekdays, and it is reasonable to say that they are not sure where they are going. Besides, a boss and twenty warriors died inexplicably a while ago? People can easily think that the world is not peaceful recently and will not associate their death with you."

"Second Master Xia will make a turn when doing things. In this way, not only will the injustice of my fifth wife and I be gone, but the face of Xia's mansion also be preserved as much as possible. I think you will be attributed to me if Xia Ping's death?"

From Xia Anzhi's standpoint, Lin Yan felt that Xia Anzhi's handling was actually the most correct way, but as Lin Yan himself, he was not very satisfied with the result, so he spoke coldly.

Xia Anzhi smiled awkwardly and said, "Xia Ping should be damned if he did such a serious crime. Lin Yan, you killed him to eliminate the harm."

"Lin Yan, I know you must be very dissatisfied with me doing this. The exact same piece of evidence in your hand is enough to reveal all the truth again and ruin the Xia family. But I ask you not to do this."

Xia Anzhi said respectfully, if it weren't for being on the street, I would have been kneeling down to Lin Yan at this moment.

"The Xia Mansion is really bad to you. You have ten thousand reasons to shame my elder brother, and you are not wrong in doing this, because it is indeed Xia Mansion, Xia Tianlong, I'm sorry to you! But I still chose to cover up this part of the truth, because I don't want the century-old Xia Mansion to be destroyed. Lin Yan, please forgive me for playing with some tricks. I am also helpless."

After saying that, Xia Anyi put his arms around the new book in Shipeng, covered his face with his wide sleeves with one hand, sighed, as if he was ashamed of doing so.

Lin Yan suddenly realized that Xia Anzhi was reading the books of sages and receiving the teachings of sages.

After all, in order to protect the face of Xia's mansion, Xia Anzhi, a pure scholar, came up with this series of thoughts that were very inconsistent with nature and made a series of actions against his will, which was indeed a helplessness for Xia Anzhi himself.

"It's hard for you." Lin Yan looked at Xia Anzhi and said slowly.

"Don't you blame me?" Xia Anzhi said in a tone that he couldn't believe it himself.

"You have your difficulties, too." Lin Yan said.

Xia Anzhi looked even more lonely: "But I still did something a scholar should never do. I do this, but I am actually ashamed of the teachings I received on weekdays. I am no longer worthy of being a scholar."

"In fact, you are no longer a scholar, Master Xia." After forgiven Xia Anzhi, Lin Yan simply decided to remind the other party a few more words, "Mr. Xia should be the new head of the Xia family now, right?"

Xia Anzhi nodded.

"That's right. From the perspective of a head of the family, you are not wrong in doing this. Moreover, you will no longer be able to deal with many things in accordance with the nature of a scholar in the future, because some things are very complicated and must be handled with some flexible methods, just like you deal with the matter between me and the fifth wife."

Xia Anzhi looked at Lin Yan incredibly, as if he couldn't understand why a servant from the Xia Mansion could actually say such incisive words.

"Don't look at me like this. I was forced to learn this principle. Master Xia Si, I respect you, so I said this. However, justice should still be possessed, and integrity should be persisted, otherwise, if you become a person like Xia Tianlong, you will be no different from the evil ones."

"Lin Yan, don't worry, I will be an upright and good head of the family." Xia Anzhi said solemnly.

Lin Yan didn't say anything more. Today he forgave Xia Anzhi and said something to Xia Anzhi. However, he respected Xia Anzhi before and felt that he should remind the other party not to use the standards of a scholar's saint to deal with things.

As for Xia Anzhi's faithful vow to be a good head of the family, Lin Yan doesn't care whether he believes it or not. If the environment can easily change a person, no one can tell what Xia Anzhi will eventually become, but that's all future matters and has nothing to do with him.

But Xia Anzhi still wanted to trouble him.

"Lin Yan, I also know that you are famous in Xiaoshui City now. You are very strong and you are no longer the same as before... So, I want to ask you to help me solve something."

"You are polite to Master Xia. In the past, I was scolded as 'waste, waste firewood' in Xia Mansion. Every time you hear it, you scold those people. I still remember that one year after New Year's Eve, I didn't finish the firewood because my hand was frostbite. Even the only bowl of noodles for dinner was poured onto the snow by the housekeeper and Xia Shihu. In the end, you brought me a bowl of rice and meat from the kitchen, allowing me to finish that cold New Year's Eve. I have always kept this in my heart. Now I am happy to be able to do something for you."

Lin Yan spoke a little emotionally.

In the ten years of being in Xia Mansion, except for the old accountant, only Xia Anzhi was really caring about him, making him feel that ten years of life in errands actually had some warm memories.

Xia Anzhi felt completely differently.

Xia Anzhi felt very lucky.

If it weren't for treating Lin Yan fairly before, if it wasn't for Lin Yan's gratitude and remembering the insignificant trivial things he had done, then once Lin Yan exposes Xia Tianlong's true face, the Xia family will definitely lose all face and will never be able to exist. At present, it is impossible for Lin Yan to solve a problem for him.

At this moment, Xia Anzhi said, "This is the thing. The five teachers who disappeared with Xia Shihu have a certain relationship behind them. We had already made compensation to them according to the regulations of the government, but they relied on some skills and the five families joined forces to steal us. I gave in several times and just wanted to spend money to eliminate disasters and buy peace. But they became more and more serious. Recently, they came to make trouble again and shouted that we would pay. I asked the government to come forward, but the government was afraid of their identity as a warrior and was unwilling to take care of it. I really had no choice."

"So you thought of using some clever little means to let me come forward?" Lin Yan smiled.

"I think Lin Yan, you are right. I have guided me, Xia Anzhi, and I have benefited a lot." Xia Anzhi also enjoyed her.

"You are learning and selling now is pretty fast." Lin Yan quipped.

"It's Lin Yan that you have given good guidance." Xia Anyi said seriously.

"Go and go and have a look."

Xia Anzhi hired a carriage, and the two of them rode all the way to Qingyang Town.

The coachman knew Xia Anzhi, and at this moment, he saw that the head of the Xia Mansion was so polite to a young man, as if he regarded this person as a guest of honor, and could not help but look at Lin Yan with admiration.

If the coachman knew that Lin Yan was still a servant in the Xia Mansion half a year ago, but now he is enjoying such treatment, he would be surprised to fall off his eyes.
