Chapter 21 Out of the House
The 30,000 taels of silver earned in Wanguanzhuang were squandered by Xiao Lingxiao and Bao Ronger, so Xiao Lingxiao decided to find time to earn some money. It turns out that in order to live comfortably in the prime minister's mansion, in addition to beingware of those annoying people, silver is the most important.
But before they agreed when to go out, they saw Narcissus come in with a sad face and said that the old lady asked Xiao Lingxiao to go to Xianglinyuan.
The matter of the old lady has been widely spread, and Xiao Lingxiao guessed that the old lady should also have something to do. Compared with the eldest lady, this old lady hid deeper and more in the city. Xiao Lingxiao knew that she had to deal with it cautiously.
She didn't take Bao Ronger this time, but asked her to go out first to inquire about the matter of Wan Guanzhuang. It should not be a surprise to meet the sixth prince Li Jingxuan there last time, and Xiao Lingxiao is also very interested in the owner there.
Bao Ronger disappeared in the blink of an eye. Xiao Lingxiao tidied up his clothes and came to Xianglinyuan with the people sent by the old lady.
As soon as he entered the inner room, Xiao Lingxiao saw the old lady and Xiao Shuyong sitting there with a black face. Looking at this posture, Xiao Lingxiao knew that they were probably going to take himself.
Seeing that the old lady waved her hand to make the servants retreat, Xiao Lingxiao turned to the drooping mahogany teacher's chair, sat down, looked coldly at the two people who gritted their teeth, and asked coldly, "Say it, what's the matter?"
The old lady was slapped fiercely by Xiao Lingxiao's unparalleled attitude and said angrily, "Xiao Lingxiao! You are not arrogant! Did I ask you to sit down?"
Xiao Lingxiao sneered when he heard the words, "The old lady is angry. If I follow your meaning, I can't go back to Xiao's house alive. That's what happened in the world. No one can go smoothly all the time. Do you think that's the truth?
"Beast!" Xiao Shu got up bravely and strode over to Xiao Lingxiao.
Seeing that Xiao Shu's courage came to beat him, Xiao Lingxiao slowly got up. As soon as he came to him, Xiao Lingxiao suddenly burst into a cold murderous spirit. He raised his finger to Xiao Shuyong's nose and gritted his teeth and said, "If I were a beast, you would not even be as good as a beast!" Xiao Shuyong, do you really think I don't know how my mother Lu died at the beginning!"
Xiao Shuyong was shocked when he heard the words, and his raised hand slowly fell down. He could hardly believe his ears and muttered, "What...what are you talking about?"
Xiao Lingxiao glanced at the old lady and couldn't help sneering when he saw that she was also full of surprise.
In her remaining memory, there is no biological mother. The one who raised her was an old mother surnamed Wu. Wu's mother was the mother brought by Lu from her mother's house. She also fell seriously ill soon after Xiao Lingxiao lost her sight. Before dying, Wu's mother secretly told Xiao Lingxiao that her biological mother, Lu, did not die of illness, but was killed by Xiao Shuyong!
In the past, Xiao Lingxiao was cowardly and incompetent. He couldn't believe Wu's mother's words, but now when Xiao Lingxiao saw Xiao Shuyong gritting his teeth at himself and couldn't wait to get rid of it, he suddenly remembered what Wu's mother said on his deathbed.
"I heard that after the destruction of the Lu family, my mother soon died of serious illness, and your father immediately married the Qi family. With the help of the Qi family, you can go straight up. Father, you did a good job.
Xiao Lingxiao stared at Xiao Shuyong coldly, with a deep brilliance in his eyes. Seeing that Xiao Shuyong's face changed from blue to white, and then became bloodless, Xiao Lingxiao smiled.
She turned her head and looked at the old lady again, walked slowly towards her, and whispered, "Old lady, you have been guarding the Xiao family for so many years, and I believe you have suffered a lot. Father's position is now stable. If he doesn't make any big mistakes, or if he is found out some unsightly old things, he will probably be able to continue to guard the Xiao family with you in this way. But if there is something going on, it's hard to say.
The old lady's hand clenched tightly and kept trembling. The wrinkles on her face turned into deeper gullies, as if she was about to be blown up.
"The century-old foundation of the Xiao family can't be shaken by one person. If anyone dares to hit this copper wall and iron wall, he will definitely hit his head and break the blood!" The old lady stared at Xiao Lingxiao fiercely and gritted her teeth and said in a low voice.
Jiang is still old and spicy. Although the old lady is angry, she is not messy. Xiao Lingxiao saw that the effect of his exciting method was not as good as expected, so he had to shake his head and said, "After all, the Xiao family has to rely on the old lady and yours, but it's just that the first lady is so lively that she is fired outside, and his father will become the target of public criticism sooner or later. I can only wait and see whether the Xiao family is a copper wall or a hair cake tofu.
Xiao Lingxiao knew that the old lady and Xiao Shuyong found themselves at this juven, they must blame themselves and the recent flower thieves, and even those things about the old lady, so Xiao Lingxiao pointed out to them "kindly". Now what they should worry about is not who picked it out. These things should be worried about whether others will take this opportunity to make waves.
Is the position of Xiao Shuyong, the prime minister, and the current situation of the Xiao family really stable? Xiao Lingxiao didn't think so.
Sure enough, the old lady and Xiao Shuyong listened to Xiao Lingxiao's words, and their faces became even worse.
The old lady lowered her head and thought for a moment. Xiao Lingxiao was right. Qi's affairs should be handled carefully, and Xiao Lingxiao, the rebellious son in front of her, must not stay any longer. Thinking of this, she abruptly followed her heart and said to Xiao Lingxiao in a low voice, "Xiao Lingxiao, the Xiao family gave birth to you and raised you, but they can't let you do something wrong. You can go back and pack up your things now. When you're done, you can go to Hualing'an to shave and become a monk. You don't have to worry about the fourth prince. Don't think he really like you. Without the support of the Xiao family, the fourth prince will no longer care about your life or death!"
When Xiao Lingxiao heard the old lady say the words "shaved and become a monk", she suddenly thought of the three days and nights she had been kneeling in the courtyard, and the bowl of poisonous chas. Her heart tingled and she couldn't help sneer. Looking up at the old lady, Xiao Lingxiao smiled and said, "Why doesn't the old lady let people kill me now? You are so kind. It's exactly the same as before. It's just that I cried and begged you to become a monk, but you didn't agree, and you didn't even hesitate to poison my granddaughter. How can I come to it now?
At this time, Xiao Shu came forward with courage and said sharply to Xiao Lingxiao, "You evil son, don't think I dare not kill you!"
Xiao Lingxiao stared at him, "I know you dare! But you, and she, you don't dare to do it openly for the sake of the Xiao family!" After saying this, the expression on Xiao Lingxiao's face eased again. She took a breath and whispered, "There is a sentence I want to say in front, old lady, father, it's easy for you to expel my Xiao Lingxiao out of the house today, but if you want me to come back in the future, you two will kneel down and beg me."
After saying that, Xiao Lingxiao sneered at the two of them and turned around and left.
Xiao Lingxiao returned to the Qinghe Courtyard and immediately asked the maids to pack up for themselves. The clothes and jewelry accumulated during this period of time, Xiao Lingxiao, made people pack them one by one. This posture does not seem to be driven to the nunnery at all, but like moving.
Before long, Xiao Ranjun and Xiao Fengming came in a hurry. They were shocked to hear that the old lady had ordered Xiao Lingxiao to be expelled from the house.
When Xiao Lingxiao saw the two coming, he waved to them and asked them to find someone to help move things.
Xiao Ranjun stamped his feet angrily, "Jingxiao! Do you know where Hualing'an is? Still moving things happily like this! That's the nunnery! Don't clean it up. I'll go to the third uncle and ask him to persuade the old lady to let you stay!"
Seeing that Xiao Lingxiao turned around and was about to leave after he said this, he hurriedly grabbed his arm, pulled him to his side with a smile, and whispered, "Big brother, you don't have to go. I annoyed the old lady and father this time. It's useless for anyone to plead."
"What did you do?" Xiao Ranjun asked angrily.
Xiao Lingxiao pulled Xiao Ranjun and Xiao Fengming into the inner room and told them the whole story. After hearing this, both of them widened their eyes, but Xiao Lingxiao waved to them like nothing else and smiled relaxedly, "The old lady and father will definitely keep looking for trouble for the eldest lady during this period, and the Xiao family will not stop. They are busy with fights. I'm free. Can I do something else?"
Xiao Fengming was not as nervous as Xiao Ranjun. He frowned, held his chin in one hand, and asked, "Sister, do you have a plan to take the next step?"
Xiao Lingxiao nodded.
If a woman in this world wants to survive, she either needs to rely on her mother's family or her husband's family, but Xiao Lingxiao doesn't want to rely on anyone. She wants to build a foothold for herself. Deep hatred should be repaid slowly, and it is time to find a way for this place to stand.
"Sister Lingxiao..." Although Xiao Ranjun saw that Xiao Lingxiao was confident, he still said worriedly, "If you really leave the Xiao family, what if others want to do something to you? There is a coveting flower picker outside. At home... Maybe the old lady, the old lady, and even the father may kill you... You... It's too dangerous..."
The more Xiao Ranjun said, the more uncomfortable he felt. Looking at his sister talking and laughing now, and thinking about the rumors he heard during this period, Xiao Ranjun really regretted that he couldn't return to Xiao's house earlier to protect his sister. And now that he is by her side, do you still want to watch her being expelled from the house or even killed by her close relatives?
Thinking of this, Xiao Ranjun gritted his teeth fiercely, looked up at Xiao Lingxiao, and said in a low voice, "Lingxiao, you don't have to go to Hualing'an. Pack up your things, and your brother will leave Xiao's house with you. From now on, my brother will take you around the world and find a beautiful place to live. You don't have to be angry with them anymore!"
Xiao Lingxiao never thought that Xiao Ranjun had made such a decision. Is the eldest brother going to abandon the Xiao family to protect her? Does he know that if he really leaves, he will lose his life's glory and wealth?
Xiao Lingxiao stared at Xiao Ranjun, but he couldn't find the slightest hesitation in his eyes. He really made this decision!
However, just as the two looked at each other like this, an angry voice came from the side.
