Chapter 306: Burning With Anger

“Alright, since you’re tired, go back and rest early. It was just a family gathering, a common thing.”
Sikong Xiao spoke first before Xiao Zhongcheng could.
“Uncle, please don’t blame me for losing my niece.”Xiao Jing ‘ai’s brows furrowed slightly. Her eyes were filled with worry, and she looked like she was in a difficult position.
If Xiao Baoxin hadn’t told him the truth and knew what kind of person Xiao Jing ‘ai was, Sikong Xiao wouldn’t have been able to see through him at all. This was just a junior that was lovable.
Who knew that she would be so cruel? For the sake of her own glory, the lives of the Xiao family were nothing more than ants in her eyes.
Yang Shao also apologized. The couple left one after another, not daring to look at Xiao Baoxin again.
But Yang Shao’s heart was clear as a mirror, his entire soul was there. The more he spent time with Xiao Jing ‘ai, the more he could not help but fantasize about what kind of fate he had with Xiao Baoxin in his previous life, and how happy he would be with her.
He was in deep trouble.
The problem was that the two of them waved their sleeves and left. Xiao Zhongcheng was the one who was embarrassed. His daughter’s little face was red and tender. He did not know if it was made up, but she looked quite energetic. It was actually the two juniors who left first.
No matter how long he sat, he had already finished his meal. How long could he sit there for?
How would his eldest brother’s family feel if he left in such a high-profile manner? Originally, because Yang Shao had a close relationship with two people, the two families broke up. Eldest Brother even chased him out of Xiao Mansion for this. Recently, the relationship had eased a little, and Second Mother jumped out to be a demon.
Therefore, Xiao Zhongcheng was resentful.
“Just in time. You guys should go back too. You’ve been here for a day and you’re still healthy.”Sikong Xiao took the opportunity to chase him away. He wouldn’t be able to stay for long.
Xie Xian obviously had the same intention. He was only waiting for Xiao Baoxin’s decision.
Who knew that Sikong Xiao wouldn’t care about his daughter’s expression and would chase her away when he shouted?
“Aren’t you…Are you alright?” He asked tentatively. His daughter had the ability to hear people’s thoughts. He was afraid that she had some important information to share with him, so he asked.
Xiao Baoxin was speechless.” 1 just came back to congratulate my father on his birthday. I haven’t seen my father and mother in such a long time. 1 just wanted to spend more time with you guys.””
Sikong Xiao saw that his daughter didn’t have anything important to do, so he didn’t keep her.
This was Sikong Xiao’s paternal love. Nothing could compare to the safety of his daughter and son. Her pregnancy was unstable, and he did not want to tire his daughter out.
It was also because Sikong Xiao was too sincere in chasing him away. Xiao Baoxin felt that if he didn’t leave now, he would be chased out of the house. So he could only run to the main courtyard to bid farewell to Madam Xie. The family chatted for a while before sending Xiao Baoxin to the car.
Madam Xie saw that her daughter liked to eat green plums, so she asked someone to pick all the ripe fruits in the courtyard. Afraid that one basket would not be enough for her to eat, she asked the servant to go out and buy a basket for Xiao Baoxin to bring back.
After sending Xie Xian and Xiao Baoxin away, Xiao Zhongcheng and his wife did not stay any longer and left with Xiao Miaorong.
Although Sikong Xiao didn’t hold banquets in the past, he still received some congratulatory gifts every year. Most of them were his subordinates or former subordinates who knew about his birthday. It was only this year that there were more. It was probably because the Xiao family was especially valued by Emperor Yu Heng, and there were actually more congratulatory ceremonies from the officials in the court.
As Madam Xie was busy registering, she heard the maid beside her tell her about the dispute between Xiao Baoxin and Xiao Jing ‘ai in the backyard.
At that time, the servants who witnessed the quarrel did not dare to come forward. They only watched from afar. They roughly knew what was going on, but they did not know why.
“.. Later, General Yang carried the Second Lady away. 1 heard that,”The head maid hesitated and said,” I don’t know.””General Yang also strangled Second Niangzi’s neck and made her cry.”
Madam Xie was burning with anger.
“Why didn’t you strangle her to death? 1 was wondering why he was leaving so soon after he finished eating. It’s not like a junior doesn’t know etiquette. If they hadn’t left, why would my daughter go back to her in-laws ‘house so early?”
“How dare she argue with my daughter when she’s at my house?”
Madam Xie threw the account book aside and went to the study room. Sikong Xiao was reading the military book and strategy. She reached out and pulled the book out of his hand.
“You’re still in the mood to read? Your daughter is being bullied in her own house!”
Sikong Xiao was confused. He wasn’t bragging, but he had never seen anyone who could bully his daughter survive. Which one of them hadn’t been beaten back by her?
“Who is it? Second Mother?”
“If it wasn’t her, who else would it be? 1 don’t know why she chased after Bao Xin and quarreled. In the end, if it wasn’t for her husband taking her away, 1 really don’t know how much they would quarrel. The servants all saw it. Whose face was he slapping?”
“Who gave her face to do evil to our family?”
Sikong Xiao’s face darkened and he shouted,””Men!”
Mrs. Xie didn’t admit that she was so scared that she shivered.
“Go and call Yang Shao over. 1 have something to say to him.”
Sikong Xiao was obviously burning with anger, so the servant dared not doubt him. He ran out, but when he walked out, he realized-
He didn’t know where Yang Shao’s home was!
After asking around the residence, no one knew. In the end, they had no choice but to find Xiao Zhongcheng’s residence. They did not want to alarm Second Master Xiao, but they could not stop the loyal people in the residence. They were afraid of taking responsibility, so they quickly reported it to Xiao Zhongcheng.
Xiao Zhongcheng heard that something was wrong. If it wasn’t a big deal, his brother wouldn’t have bypassed him and gone straight to Yang Shao.
Therefore, before Yang Shao arrived, Xiao Zhongcheng arrived first.
Sikong Xiao didn’t hide anything. He pointed at Xiao Zhongcheng’s nose and scolded,””Let me tell you, tell your daughter and son-in-law not to come to my house in the future. I’m afraid that the daughter 1 gave birth to will melt in my hands. Your daughter dares to come to my house to make things difficult for my daughter. Who gave her the guts?”
“Is it that my first branch has let down your second branch, or is it that your family has a problem with the first branch?”
Xiao Zhongcheng was so anxious that he almost peed his pants. His brother was so impatient that he couldn’t explain clearly. He didn’t listen at all.
“Since you’re here, I won’t be seeing Yang Shao. Tell him to keep an eye on Second Lady. If she comes out and causes trouble, it won’t be light.”
“They are not allowed to enter the Xiao Manor’s gates again.”
After saying that, he left Xiao Zhongcheng hanging on the spot.
Madam Xie listened from outside the door. She felt relieved and slipped away before Sikong Xiao left. Oh, she would usually dare to bawl her fangs and brandish her claws, but now that Sikong Xiao was really angry, she really didn’t dare to go forward.
Anyway, it wasn’t for her. Whoever provoked her would suffer.
Madam Xie slipped away quickly, and Xie Zhongcheng could only endure the scolding and wait until Yang Shao arrived. Who asked his daughter to be in the wrong? As a father, he had to take the blame..
