Translator: 549690339

Madam Xiao was already too tired to complain about her Second Lady.

The steward vividly told her how Xiao Jing ‘ai had entangled Yang Shao and how the two of them had quarreled in the manor. She no longer had the face to look at Sikong Xiao’s face, and the entire atmosphere was stiff.

When Xiao Zhongcheng came back with the smell of alcohol, he clearly maintained his rationality and didn’t drink too much. He looked at Sikong Xiao’s black face and didn’t say anything.

Xiao Zhongcheng had a strong desire to live, so he didn’t ask. The two brothers finished their meal quietly.

It was not until the family returned to the manor after dinner that Xiao Zhongcheng asked Madam Xiao about it. He then found out that it was his daughter who had caused this.

“.. In the end, it’s all Yang’s fault. Why do you have to show your face in our house? How dare he throw a tantrum here? Was he spoiled by a living person? Just like that, Second Mother still wants me to find him an external position and transfer him away. He even dares to do this under the nose of the Xiao family in Jiankang City. If I really let him be far away from the emperor, who knows how he will bully people.”

Mrs. Xiao was speechless. It would be best if she could find a job for Yang Shao, but she could send them away far away. If she really was in Jiankang, with his daughter’s physique, there would be many people like her today in the future…And that embarrassing incident in the past.

Today, the steward saw it, but the other servants couldn’t?

Once word got out, what reputation would she have left? How could their second branch still have any face?

He could never grasp the main point.

“There must be something wrong. This child wasn’t like this in the past. It’s my fault.”Xiao Zhongcheng drank some wine and started to feel sad and compassionate.

Even when it was time to go to bed at night, Xiao Zhongcheng still kept nagging.

“Just like today’s matter, it’s fine if the Eldest Niangzi sent Xie Xian off, but our Second Niangzi is the same. Sending off her fiance, how dare a servant interfere? Eldest Brother was too biased towards his daughter!”

You also know that she’s her own daughter. Your daughter stole her daughter’s fiance, and you still want her to be nice to your daughter?

Madam Xiao closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, ignoring him.

“.. No matter what, Second Mother is our daughter. At least she calls you Mother. At this time, you have to support her. If you let a servant spout nonsense, you won’t have the face to do so, right?”

“Hey, did you hear that?” Xiao Zhongcheng nudged Madam Xiao. She didn’t make a sound and was clearly sound asleep.

“If I talk to you, 1’11 sleep. If I don’t talk to you, you’ll say that I’m cold. Pretentious!” He turned around and fell asleep as well, muttering to himself.”.. There was nothing to worry about every day.”

Bah.

Madam Xiao secretly spat.

Why was she embarrassing herself?

Wasn’t it because Xiao Jing ‘ai was in a hurry to snatch her away from the eldest lady and caused a huge commotion? She had no choice but to marry her and was unwilling to do so. That was why the two of them started quarreling in the eldest room.

If it was Lady Xiao, he wouldn’t be able to beg her even if he wanted to. Even his grandson was not as obedient as him.

Wasn’t he asking for it?

She wanted to support the scene, but she had to be able to do so. Could it be that she had to fight with the servants? At that time, if Xiao Sikong and Madame Xie were to chase her out, that person would be greatly embarrassed. She would not do such a thing that was unreasonable.

Worry–

It was because Second Mother didn’t let him worry, but her daughter didn’t. If he wanted to mess with his big brother, why didn’t he go himself?

Let her stand up for her? Dream on!

Early the next morning, Xiao Zhongcheng was stopped by Xiao Jing ‘ai, who had come to pay his respects. He said a bunch of auspicious words before catching his breath and getting to the point. Xiao Zhongcheng suddenly said,

“I see that Yang Shao is a little arrogant, so I think he should stay in Jiankang to temper himself. You’re in Jiankang, so I can rest assured.”

Xiao Jing ‘ai’s expression changed.

“Father, it’s the same for me outside. In Jiankang…Sister doesn’t like me to begin with. If she marries into the Xie family, she won’t be as good as me in the future…”

“With me protecting you and your uncle watching over you, what else can you do? Don’t think too much about it.”

“Father, it’s not that I’m overthinking.” Xiao Jing ‘ai lowered her eyes and tears fell instantly. She looked so wronged. “Third Aunt is the same as Eldest Sister, mocking and ridiculing me, not treating me as a Di Sister at all. One of them married into the Xie family, and the other married into the Xi family. They both don’t like me. Not to mention me, even if Xie Xian and Xi San listened to them and hindered his future, what should he do? How can we still stand out?”

Xi San didn’t have that kind of power. He was merely a bastard son of the Xi family, but Xie Xian was the Emperor’s favorite.

“Do you think your uncle and I are dead? With us around, would the big brother dare to do that?”

“But Uncle is Sister’s father, so of course he’ll side with her.” Uncle has always been rude to me, and these few times, he didn’t even give me any face.”

“You did it yourself! “At the thought of this, Xiao Zhongcheng became angry.” You still have the cheek to say that? It’s all because you took a fancy to that Yang Shao and didn’t even care about your daughter’s shame and personally begged the Emperor. It would be a wonder if he would give you any face!”

“It’s fine if you say that the thing you snatched is good. It even dares to shout at you in our Xiao family. When the time comes, the sky will be high and the emperor will be far away. You won’t even have a place to complain if you suffer! Who do you think I’m doing this for?”

“You’re still helping him seek a future in this state. Isn’t he afraid that he’ll be even harder to discipline if he has a future?”

“You’re still an outsider? Just lie down in Jiankang! A third-grade general, what else did he want? There were many children from poor families who couldn’t climb to such heights in their entire lives, but it was enough for him.”

Xiao Zhongcheng was so angry that his head hurt. He waved his hand.”You can leave. Don’t say anything else.”

“Father!” Xiao Jing ‘ai finally realized what she had done wrong. It was because of their quarrel yesterday.

She secretly hated that manager. That guy must have reported her behind her back! A snob.

“I was rude first, so General Yang-”

“Cough cough cough cough cough…”

Before Xiao Jing ‘ai could finish, Madam Xiao, who was enjoying the show, choked on her own saliva. She coughed so hard that tears were about to fall.

F * eking girls are too extroverted. Second Lady Xiao’s elbow is almost turning from Qingxi Lane to Longshan Imperial Concubine Liu’s tomb.

She had not even married him yet and had already started to plot for Yang Shao’s future. She had even played tricks on her own father.

She was the one who was rude first? Wasn’t she going to be humiliated if she went up? Didn’t she need to send him off?

Sending him out of the residence was rude to him, so what should he do to be polite?

Xiao Zhongcheng could not tell what Xiao Jing ‘ai was up to. He had made his face turn red with Mrs. Xiao’s cough and embarrassed his daughter.

“Alright, stop talking. If you mention Yang Shao’s future again, don’t come in front of me. When you talk about others, think about yourself. Why did others treat you like this?”

Just like that, Xiao Zhongcheng chased her out.

Xiao Jing ‘ai gritted her teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. Why was it so difficult? Everyone was going against her and trying to trip her up?

Xiao Baoxin, Xiao Miaorong, Madam Xiao, and now even her father was not helping her.

Well, she had originally wanted to seek an external position for Yang Shao to seek a future, but in the end, she had caused a ruckus. She was afraid that there would be a chance to transfer in the future. Xie Xian did not mind Yang Shao, but her father would have to think of ways to suppress him..
