Chapter 42 Breaking into the House
Xiao Lingxiao subconsciously looked at Xiao Fengming. His thick eyelashes seemed to flash with the soft light of candlelight. In a pair of dark and clear eyes, there was an indescribable sting heat that seemed to burst out at any time. The more you look at it, the more you will feel that Xiao Fengming's handsome face is not like a mortal. In the swaying light and shadow, he seems to disappear at any time.
"Feng Ming..." Xiao Lingxiao subconsciously raised his hand and held his wrist.
Xiao Fengming's body trembled slightly, and then the corners of his mouth burst into the same smile as usual. He asked softly, "What's wrong, sister? Don't you like this kind of pastry? This is made by the best pastry chef in Chufu Building. It's hard to buy. Look, there are several more here. Can you try something else?
After saying that, he quietly pulled back his hand and pushed another plate with pastry in front of Xiao Lingxiao.
I don't know why, at the moment when Xiao Fengming pulled back his hand, Xiao Lingxiao suddenly felt a little lonely. She looked down at the delicate pastries on the plate and had no appetite at all.
Xiao Lingxiao simply told Xiao Fengming what happened in the palace. After she finished, she found that Xiao Fengming's face had become very ugly.
"Is there any other way? Why did you promise to marry Su Donghan!" Xiao Fengming couldn't hide his anger. He clenched his fist tightly and gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to kill him!" Sister, you don't have to worry about these things anymore! I will kill your enemies for you! Is it the Xiao family? Don't leave any of them!"
Hearing this, Xiao Lingxiao hurriedly waved his hand and advised, "I have my own opinion on these things. If we kill those people like this, we will definitely cause a lot of trouble for the future."
"What trouble are you afraid of?" Xiao Fengming said angrily, "After we kill those people, I will take you out of here!" No matter how long the manpower of Wuqi Kingdom is, it is just in this country!"
Xiao Lingxiao was stunned when he heard the words. It can be said that in this different world, of course, there will not be only one Wuqi Kingdom. Unfortunately, there is no world map here. Xiao Lingxiao doesn't know how big the Wuqi Kingdom is, let alone any other countries besides the Wuqian Kingdom.
She suddenly remembered that Xuan said that Feng Ming seemed to be running around with his father in business.
"Feng Ming, have you been to other countries?"
Xiao Fengming frowned, and his anger seemed to come down a little. He took a long breath and nodded, "I've been to many places. After you take revenge, I will take you out of here to find a place you like and live your favorite life."
When Xiao Fengming said this, he used a statement tone, as if such a decision was taken for granted. Xiao Lingxiao knew that he should refute that the decision he made did not seek her opinion at all. But she doesn't want to say this. Sometimes, it's not a kind of happiness to be decided by others for a future. Especially when this matter is still far away, even if it is just a small hope, Xiao Lingxiao decided to keep it.
Two days ago, everything was fine. Xuan sent a message back, saying that the fourth prince was called by the imperial concubine to persuade him, and he did not go to the emperor to make trouble again, and the emperor did not pay attention to the matter of marriage. In the eyes of others, Xiao Lingxiao's marriage to Su Donghan is obviously a certainty.
On the third day, Bao Ronger hurried back and said to Xiao Lingxiao when she entered the house, "Xiao Shuyong came and brought a lot of people."
Xiao Lingxiao smiled indifferently and turned to ask Xiao Fengming, "Are they coming?"
Xiao Fengming nodded, "I arrived last night."
At this time, in front of the door of Lufu, two carriages and horses slowly stopped. Xiao Shuyong came out of the carriage in front of him and looked up at the huge "Lufu" plaque on the lintel, and his eyebrows were twisted into a pimple. The place he doesn't want to go to in this imperial city is to count the Lu family. At that time, the Lu family was so prosperous and arrogant that even he, Xiao Shuyong, had to bend down and bow his head when he came here. That feeling, when I think about it now, is even more like being stuck in my throat.
Xiao Lingxiao, the child born in the Lu family, how much trouble did she cause for the Xiao family! Now she has deliberately bought this Lu house. What is she going to do?
Xiao Shuyong suppressed his anger and just looked forward to ending these bad things as soon as possible.
He waved his hand, and behind him was a guard with a big knife hanging around his waist and smashed the door.
The person who opened the door was an old man with white hair. The old man was not dressed as a slave, as if he were just ordinary people. The guard pushed the old man to the side, and then bowed to meet Xiao Shuyong into the yard.
The familiar courtyard evoked memories of the past. Xiao Shuyong waved his hand in vain and said in an irritable voice to several strong old mothers around him, "Go find the young lady!"
Several stout old women heard the words and quickly ran into the house. But before they could run a few steps, they were scared back by a group of people with knives, guns and sticks.
A group of people surging out of the crowd, led by Xiao Lingxiao and Xiao Fengming.
Xiao Lingxiao still had a cold smile on her face. She came to Xiao Shuyong and stood still. She looked at the dozens of guards behind him and asked, "Is my father going to tie me back by breaking in with these people like this?"
Xiao Shuyong stared at Xiao Lingxiao fiercely and said angrily, "What do you look like now? The eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion actually ran outside and went crazy! Are you going to start your own business? It's ridiculous! Come back home with me quickly, or I can only tie you back!"
"Father!" Xiao Lingxiao gritted her teeth and said harshly, "Don't you remember how you drove me out of the Prime Minister's mansion? Don't you know who caused today's situation? Humph! Do you think I want to start my own business? Well said! I, Xiao Lingxiao, am going to start my own business. Is there anything I can't do? Let me tell you! I have a house and a courtyard now, and I live a free life. I don't need to get the reward of your Xiao family. I don't need your charity. I can live! No one here bullies me, no one plots on me, why not!"
"Presumptuous!" Xiao Shuyong was afraid that Xiao Lingxiao would tell the scandal of the Xiao family and said angrily, "It's better for me to give birth to you and raise you than to raise a beast!" You have encountered all kinds of misfortunes in the past, and your family has put up with you, but you still don't know whether it's good or bad! You slander the Xiao family everywhere in front of people, which is simply worse than a beast! I have been an official for many years, only caring about the world, but I didn't expect my daughter to be so arrogant! Xiao Lingxiao! You have to go back with me today no matter what! I must do my duty as my father and discipline you well!"
After saying that, Xiao Shuyong took a step back and made a gesture behind him. As soon as the dozens of guards he brought saw the signal, they immediately pulled out their knives around their waist and roared up. The rest of the old ladies also stared at Xiao Lingxiao and waited for a chance to subdue her.
When Xiao Fengming saw the guards rushing up, he raised a cruel smile at the corners of his mouth.
More than a dozen people who followed him were all demon wolves from the wolf clan. The shallowest of them has lived for one or two hundred years. They have all experienced hundreds of battles and are bloodthirsty monsters. Xiao Lingxiao specially explained that they were not allowed to kill, but it was rare for these demon wolves to encounter such excitement. Watching the guards rush over with knives, they were not only not afraid, but they all smiled and raised their knives and sticks to meet them.
A melee with an extremely disparity in power contrast began in the blink of an eye. The demons and wolves seemed to have a tacit understanding, teasing Xiao Shuyong's guards like cats and mice. If these guards are put on weekdays, the martial arts are first-class, but now they have become lively toys, which are completely vulnerable.
Xiao Lingxiao stood there and did not move. She still looked at Xiao Shuyong coldly and looked at him stunned by the scene in front of him. His face changed from red to iron blue, and then turned pale.
"Father, the old lady should have told you again what I said the day you kicked me out of the house, right? If you want me to go back to Xiao's house, you two must kneel down and beg me!"
After saying this, Xiao Lingxiao sneered, turned around, and walked unscrupulously through the melee crowd.
When the demons and wolves have played enough, the guards brought by Xiao Shuyong have turned into pig heads and collapsed to the ground. Xiao Fengming asked the demon wolves to drag these people out of Lu's house. He slowly walked to Xiao Shuyong and said coldly, "I don't know if my sister regrets her marriage and resists like this. Will the emperor only blame her or implicate the whole Xiao family?" In case the Xiao family is like the Lu family in those years, I, an outsider with no genealogy, will be implicated? Uncle, I think you and the old lady need to discuss it carefully before making a decision.
Looking at Xiao Fengming's departure of his back, Xiao Shuyong was stuck in his throat. His words just hit Xiao Shuyong's pain. When the Lu family was strong, there were ministers and officials, fierce generals guarding the border, and even the daughter of the Lu family married a neighboring country to become a princess. How could the emperor not care about such a force? Lu Jiawei couldn't fall. After the emperor set it up well, he caught a mistake for a while and cut it all over the door. Xiao Shuyong knew that the Xiao family was not as strong as the Lu family, but after the emperor beheaded the Lu family, he became more suspicious.
The Xiao family must not repeat the mistakes of the Lu family. As a minister, Xiao Shuyong is not ashamed to kowtow in front of the emperor, but if he bears a notoriety of resisting the decree for a daughter who is not disciplined well, it is absolutely impossible! The Xiao family will never make the slightest mistake because of a Xiao Lingxiao!
Xiao Shuyong gritted his teeth secretly and went out of the gate of Lufu. Seeing the guards on the ground, he hummed and threw his sleeves into the carriage.
In the Lu family, Xiao Fengming still didn't seem to be relieved. There was no smile on his face. He whispered to Xiao Lingxiao, "Xiao Shuyong will not give up. I'm afraid it's not easy for my sister to force them to kneel down."
Xiao Lingxiao raised the corners of his mouth and nodded, "But with a few moves, how can they know they are afraid?"
