The Nangong family is an ancient family. It is said that its ancestors were once members of the royal family and have royal blood. However, it is a reclusive family and few people know of its existence.

It is located on the top of Yunfeng Mountain, thousands of miles away from the imperial capital of the Xia Dynasty. It is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, making it look like a fairyland.

But this generation of the Nangong family is no longer so indifferent to fame and fortune, and the internal fighting in the family has been going on for half a year.

Because the Nangong family mainly relies on medical skills, the patriarch of each generation must be the most skilled in medicine. In Nangong Ximo's generation, the family's struggle was particularly fierce.

In order to get the position of the head of the Nangong family, everyone tried their best to fight for it. So now the Nangong family is already in a state of turmoil.

Nangong Ximo stood under the eaves of the carved and painted building, his eyes very calm, looking at this magnificent palace, his calm black eyes occasionally flashed with a hint of helplessness.

He doesn't want to fight, but others insist on forcing him to fight.

He is the only son of the patriarch of this generation, but because of his mother's low status, many people are opposed to him succeeding as the patriarch, and the party brothers, who seem to be brothers and sisters, even have murderous intentions towards him.

The assassination in Prince Li's Mansion changed his original intention of staying out of the incident. If he wanted to leave the Nangong family, he could not just hold back.

Thinking of the injuries Su Chen suffered because of him...

His calm eyes narrowed slightly, flashing a hint of a terrifying storm.

He can ignore them if they hurt him, but if they hurt the people around him, he won't give up.

"Ximo, is the Imperial City fun?" Nangong Lihua, the only cousin close to him in the clan, came over and asked kindly.

Nangong Ximo's face softened slightly and he nodded, "It's okay."

Nangong Lihua noticed the slight change on his face, with surprise on her face, "I heard that the outside world is very lively. Did Ximo encounter something interesting?"

As a child of the Nangong family, he has been ordered since he was a child not to take a step out of Yunfeng before getting married. Anyone who violates this rule must be expelled from the Nangong family.

Regarding the outside world, even if they are explicitly prohibited from going out, the children of the Nangong family will still look forward to and longing for it. What kind of scenery is it outside?

Nangong Ximo thought of what he encountered in the imperial capital, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Meeting Su Chen was an accident. She was indeed amazing. Thinking of every word she said and every move she made, they were all so weird.

, but it made people want to get close to her for no reason.

Seeing that there was indeed a smile on Ximo's lips, Nangong Lihua showed a yearning expression, "It must be fun outside, right?"

Nangong Ximo turned to look at her, "There are many people outside."

"That's it?" Nangong Lihua originally wanted to hear something about the outside world from him, but she didn't expect him to just say that there are many people outside. She couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. She had lived in the Nangong family for more than 20 years and had never stepped outside.

Out of Yunfeng.

This family motto of the Nangong family is particularly strict. Some people have tried to get out of it, but they have never come back in the end.

Nangong Ximo was able to go out this time because of the clan leader's order.

Seeing his cousin's slightly lonely face, Nangong Ximo said, "When my sister gets married, you can go outside and have a look."

Knowing that he was just saying this to comfort her, Nangong Lihua seemed even more lonely, "The Chi family has scheduled their marriage at the end of the year, but I have never seen the young master of the Chi family." As she spoke, she looked a little confused.

Absent-minded.

Nangong Ximo understood her thoughts, but he had no choice but to comfort him: "I heard that Chi Jingyun is a very good person."

Nangong Lihua could only nod, "I heard about it too." After saying that, she stopped continuing the topic, changed the subject, turned to look at him, and said with interest: "Ximo, I heard that you met a very rogue.

girl."

Nangong Ximo glanced at her and saw her smiling eyes, obviously joking, "Liu Yang said that?"

When Nangong Lihua heard that this was true, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, "So it's true?"

"She is not a scoundrel." Nangong Ximo corrected with a frown.

"But Liu Yang said that not only did she blackmail you for a piece of gold, but she also made a bet with Liu Yang..."

Before Nangong Lihua finished speaking, she was interrupted by Nangong Ximo, "It's Liu Yang who is too stupid. You can't blame her."

Nangong Lihua's eyes widened slightly in shock. It was incredible that this cousin she had always loved could speak for a girl. Finally, she nodded, "She must be special."

"Yeah." Nangong Ximo nodded without thinking. She is indeed special!

Seeing his reaction, Nangong Lihua was moved and reminded: "You are the most likely to succeed the patriarch, so you can't have other thoughts except for the daughter of the Huangfu family."

Nangong Ximo turned to look at her and said softly: "I don't want the position of patriarch."

When Nangong Lihua heard this, she felt slightly uneasy. She glanced around and then lowered her voice and said, "You must not say such a thing. If the clan leader hears it, you will have to be imprisoned again." After saying that, he sighed slightly.

He said, "And even if you don't have that intention, others won't believe it. This fight will not subside until the new clan leader takes office, right?"

Nangong Ximo pursed his lips and said nothing.

He understood what his cousin meant, but he really didn't have that intention. If everything could be settled until the new patriarch took over, he could advance the fight. When the time comes, he could have the final say on whether to stay here or not.

.

…

Leaving the palace.

I didn’t expect that the children of the Xia Dynasty were all so handsome and outstanding!

After Su Chen brought the tea into the living room, he took the initiative to stand behind Xia Li and looked at the man and woman sitting below with his big eyes.

The man's name is Xia Yan. He looks to be a few years older than Xia Li, but his whole body exudes a calm temperament. He looks handsome, but he does not have the arrogance of a prince, but is very gentle.

At first glance, Su Chen felt that Xia Yan was a very reliable person.

On the contrary, the girl sitting opposite Xia Yan was the Ninth Princess Xia He. She had an extremely beautiful face, but she looked very indulgent and willful in her movements, giving people the impression that she was not easy to mess with.

But the two of them are really good-looking. If they were drawn and made into a book, it would definitely be very popular, right?

Su Chen was looking at the two of them when Xia He suddenly looked over and their eyes met.

"You damn girl, how dare you secretly look at Brother Wang and say, what are you worried about?" Xia He suddenly shouted.

Su Chen was startled by her. Wasn't this aunt's words too out of tune? What she just looked at was herself, okay?

But what did she mean?
