Chapter 1279: Chapter 1274 Transfer Orders

Su Miaoyan pouted helplessly, “Of course, it’s to ensure Brother Yu survives.”

The day arrived, and as she covered Xiao Yu with the transformation garment, she was still happy in her heart.

She truly had not made a good Madam Xiao, letting Brother Yu be swayed by her soft heart, and nearly losing everything of the Xiao family, but she truly loved Brother Yu as well.

She believed that as long as Brother Yu lived, everything would be different.

Their child would surely be safe and sound.

“Brother Yu, you will live well, right?”

Su Miaoyan’s smile was close at hand, her pure skin beautiful like flower petals, delicate and fresh, inciting an irresistible urge to protect her with everything good in the world.

Xiao Yu nodded, “Yes! I will survive and find you!”

“Yan’er!”

Xiao Yu struggled awake from the dream, which had nearly exhausted all his strength.

Su Yingxue stood by the bedside watching the weak Xiao Yu, her brows slightly furrowed with worry, “You’ve been asleep for three whole days.”

Finally, he had come to!

And even sat up.

Xiao Yu’s face was pale, a coldness etched over his handsome features as he touched his chest, which still felt empty.

Without a word, he merely cooperated as Su Yingxue checked his pulse, administered acupuncture, and gave him his medicine, following the doctor’s orders like a puppet at someone’s disposal–he seemed lifeless yet so calm and composed that it was unnerving.

When Chu Yihan came to see Xiao Yu, Su Yingxue was still worried, “Let him recover for a few more days.”

After all, having lost his wife and child, and everything from the Xiao family, Xiao Yu had gone from God’s favored one to having nothing, still plagued by illness.

Such a blow needed time to catch a breath.

But Xiao Yu did not delay any longer. Sitting on the bed, he spoke indifferently, “I am untroubled now.”

“Truly untroubled?” Chu Yihan stood in front of Xiao Yu’s bed, unable to see any sign of vitality in him.

Xiao Yu faintly looked up, and when his eyes met Chu Yihan’s, they were as sharp as a gust of wind sweeping across the snow plains, carrying the piercing chill of winter’s awakening.

Chu Yihan was satisfied with his current condition and told him the situation truthfully, “Su Miaoyan’s whereabouts are unknown, the Shadow Guards have not found the other two members of the Flying Eagle Guard either, but the Xiao family has close ties with Ji Yun Country, whose claws have already reached deep into three border cities. I must eradicate the Xiao family now, to prepare for war needs.”

The city of Hangzhou is located in the southwest of the Great Cheng Dynasty, a land of wealth and good Feng Shui, also a thoroughfare between Jiang Du City and the border. The Xiao family is the linchpin of Hangzhou, controlling the city’s economic lifeline; any movement from the Xiao family will inevitably cause turbulence in the whole city. If Xiao Muyan colludes with outside enemies, he would become a nation’s wound; I need Xiao Yu to pull himself together immediately, take over the Xiao family, and give me an explanation.”

Xiao Yu’s expression remained cool, his thoughts clear, “Xiao Muyan needs time to consolidate control over the Xiao family. The Xiao family has several chambers of commerce and branches, all directly under my control. My orders can halt all of Xiao Muyan’s silver trading activities.”

Su Yingxue brought him paper and pen, “Then quickly write the order, let the Shadow Guards execute it, cut off Xiao Muyan’s control over silver funds, and reduce her power within the Xiao family!”

Xiao Yu quickly wrote the order, but as he set down the pen, he paused, “The order needs a seal to take effect.”

“Where is the seal?” Chu Yihan asked indifferently.

“One is the family heirloom that I placed on the child, the other is in my study.”

Xiao Yu’s slender fingers tapped lightly on the table.
