Chapter 45 Don't eat soft or hard
Su Donghan's strong arm tightly wrapped around the eldest lady's waist, and the other hand raised her chin and was about to kiss her. The eldest lady pushed him away angrily and scolded in a low voice, "You still have the face to see me!"
Su Donghan was stunned when he heard the words, "Didn't you ask me to come here by yourself? I saw you take out the handkerchief before you came here!"
The old lady tidied up her clothes angrily and said angrily, "I asked you to come here to ask you what's going on! Did you and your father come to see the Xiao family's jokes?
Su Donghan didn't have much interest and was suddenly gone. He waved his hand impatiently. "Xiao Shuyong doesn't have the ability, and he can't even discipline his daughter. Is it necessary for us to deliberately watch jokes? Don't you also want me to rectify Xiao Lingxiao as soon as possible? It's not better to get married as soon as possible!"
"It's not the same thing!" The old lady was angry, "Otherwise, you can go to Lu's house now and kill that bitch!"
Su Donghan glanced at the old lady coldly and snorted coldly, "Are you asking me to solve the trouble for Xiao Shuyong? Is it the blame for your Xiao family? Dream!"
After saying this, Su Donghan looked at the eldest lady again. It was six years ago that he pressed the woman under his body for the first time to enjoy it. At that time, she was a delicate and beautiful woman. She had just given birth to a few children and was ignored by Xiao Shuyong, so she was as enthusiastic as fire, which made people linger. But now that I look at her again, she seems to have completely integrated into the role of "the eldest lady of the prime minister's mansion". She has not only become cold and boring, but also old and yellow.
Thinking of this, Su Donghan suddenly felt bored. He didn't want to say anything more, so he turned around and walked to the back window.
Seeing this scene, the eldest lady suddenly panicked, but she did not stop Su Donghan, but clenched her teeth tightly. After Su Donghan left, the old lady suddenly held the table and vomited.
The maids had been kicked out by the old lady for a long time, and these things happened in the inner room seemed to be unconscious. However, at the time of the incident, a pair of eyes stared at them between the cracks in the roof tiles.
Bao Ronger pricked up her ears to distinguish the sound carefully. After confirming that Su Donghan had left, she quickly returned to Lu's house.
Bao Ronger returned to Xiao Lingxiao and told Xiao Lingxiao what she heard and saw. After hearing it, Xiao Lingxiao was silent for a long time. After a long time, she said, "Bao Ronger, do you see what the Xiangpa that the two of them agreed is like?"
Bao Ronger nodded, "Are you going to steal it back?"
"I don't need it for the time being." Xiao Lingxiao thought about this and felt that it was not the right time to do it now.
As he was saying this, suddenly a demon wolf came in and reported, "Master, the guy who took someone to the house last time came again. This time he didn't bring so many guards. He stood in front of the door and said he wanted to see you."
Xiao Lingxiao sneered, "It's hard. It's going to be soft. Let him in by himself!"
Xiao Lingxiao took Bao Ronger to the front main hall and saw that Xiao Shuyong was already waiting here. Sure enough, he came in alone, and there was no attendants around him.
Xiao Lingxiao did not salute. He sat directly on the main seat and said with a smile, "Father, sit down and talk. I just bought this house. For the time being, there is no maid who brought tea and poured water. I will slowly make it together in the future. Don't be picky."
Xiao Shuyong sighed when he heard the words and said in a low voice, "Ling Xiao, do you really want to live here? The Prime Minister's Mansion is your home. Why can't you live with yourself like this? Whether you have resentment or hatred in your heart, you are still the Xiao family, and there is still the blood of the Xiao family in your body. No matter what happened in the past, I didn't blame my father and the old lady. Not only that, now your mother is still preparing a dowry for you. It won't be long before you can marry into Maud's mansion. Although Donghan is the second legitimate son of King Mude, the princess loves him. In the future, you will definitely have no worries about food and clothing and enjoy all your wealth..."
"Father!"
Xiao Lingxiao interrupted Xiao Shuyong impatiently and said coldly, "As I just said, I just bought this house, and there are still many things that haven't been done. If you come here today just to say this nonsense, please go back."
"Nonsense?" Xiao Shuyong's forehead was full of blue veins and wanted to be angry, but he hurriedly pressured the fire.
Xiao Lingxiao snorted coldly, "Father, I think I might as well make it clear today. Don't tell me what you and the old lady are going to do to me. I, Xiao Lingxiao, have not done anything wrong to you. Instead, you kicked me out of the prime minister's mansion, and then sent guards to kill me. People say that tigers are poisonous and can't eat children, but father, you have surpassed blood and family affection. If you want to kill me, the old lady wants to kill me. I, Xiao Lingxiao, am lucky that I am not dead. Can I still go back to the Longtan Tiger Cave and stretch my neck to let you kill?
Hearing Xiao Lingxiao's words, Xiao Shuyong couldn't help but have a chill on his back. Jing Zhaoyin informed Xiao Shuyong that the guards sent to escort Xiao Lingxiao's carriages and horses were killed by flower pickers. Xiao Shuyong thought they had not had time to do it, and Xiao Lingxiao should not have known that he and his wife were going to kill Xiao Lingxiao...
"What...what did you say? Those guards...is it..."
Xiao Lingxiao smiled and didn't say anything.
Xiao Shuyong's forehead oozed cold sweat, and he regretted that he didn't bring a guard in.
"Ying Xiao, what exactly do you want?" After all, Xiao Shuyong experienced the big wind and waves, and he soon calmed down and asked with a serious look.
"You and the old lady knelt down and begged me, and I will forgive you for what you have done and go back home obediently." Xiao Lingxiao said coldly.
"Impossible!" Xiao Shuyong gritted his teeth angrily, "I am the prime minister of a country and your father. The identity of the old lady is even more noble. Xiao Lingxiao, don't be too arrogant!" After saying this harshly, Xiao Shuyong immediately softened down, "I know you have resentment. In addition to this request, I will agree to whatever you say. Isn't Feng Ming's child always by your side? If you go back to the house with me and marry to the Mude Palace obediently, I will make the decision immediately and let Feng Ming enter the genealogy. At that time, he will be the real descendant of the Xiao family, and he will be protected by the Xiao family wherever he goes! How's it going?"
Xiao Lingxiao frowned when he heard the words, but at this moment, Xiao Fengming's voice came from outside the door, "Fengming is here to thank my uncle, but I don't want to enter the genealogy of the Xiao family, and I don't need the protection of the Xiao family!"
As soon as Xiao Fengming came back, he saw Xiao Shuyong's soft sedan chair parked outside. He hurried in and happened to hear Xiao Shuyong use his things as bait to persuade Xiao Lingxiao. He strode into the room and sat down directly beside Xiao Lingxiao. His face was as watery and said to Xiao Shuyong, "It is rumored that my sister's marriage has been scheduled for six days? Why is my uncle in such a hurry to marry his sister?
Xiao Shuyong was stunned at first, and then his anger suddenly rose. Not long after King Mu De left the Prime Minister's mansion, the wedding date has been passed out? This was obviously the means used by Mu Dewang to force the Xiao family to admit this wedding date!
Xiao Lingxiao glanced at Xiao Fengming and smiled in his heart. Nine times out of ten, this "rumor" has not yet come out. Fengming is putting pressure on Xiao Shuyong.
Seeing Xiao Shuyong's face become extremely ugly, Xiao Lingxiao slowly stood up and whispered, "In fact, my father can also go to the emperor to request the cancellation of this marriage. In fact, I don't want to marry Su Donghan at all. Did your father hear about it? I once identified Su Donghan as a flower picker. He hasn't cleared up this suspicion. The old lady and the first lady recognized the marriage in front of the emperor. It's really too reckless for me to say. In case of another accident during this period, the Xiao family will inevitably be pushed to the forefront of the storm. Father, don't you think so?
Xiao Shuyong, who already looked as blue and purple as a pig's liver, heard Xiao Lingxiao's words, and his heart suddenly sank again. He secretly complained about his mother and Qi in his heart, but he also knew that it was useless.
Xiao Shuyong was originally a resourceful and calculating person, but his strategies are only applicable to the court. Among the courtiers, now in the face of Xiao Lingxiao, who is soft and hard, who doesn't eat oil and salt, he is really helpless. It seems that he can't think of anything in his mind except irritability.
Just when Xiao Shuyong was worried, suddenly someone came in from the outside to report, and a guest came.
Xiao Fengming went out to welcome guests for Xiao Lingxiao and waited for others to come in. Xiao Shuyong couldn't help but be surprised. The person who came was actually the red man beside the emperor and the empress dowager.
Xiao Lingxiao didn't expect that Xuan would come out of the palace to Lu's house at this time. With Xiao Shuyong present, she could not ask more questions.
After Xiao Shuyong and Xuan saluted each other, the four people sat down again. Although Xiao Shuyong knew that the monk Xuan had brushed Xiao Lingxiao many times, he didn't expect that they already had such a friendship.
After a few words of family affairs, Xuanxian said, "I heard that the marriage between Miss Lingxiao and the little prince of Mu De's Mansion has been set. I really want to congratulate the Prime Minister for his happy son-in-law."
Xiao Shuyong was stunned, "Didn't the monk just come out of the harem?"
Xuan smiled indifferently and said, "The marriage between Miss Lingxiao and the little prince has attracted much attention. In the harem, the news spread faster. Even the empress dowager and the emperor already knew that before the poor monk left the palace, the empress dowager specially told the poor monk to bring something for Miss Lingxiao, saying that it would add some blessing to Miss Lingxiao.
With that, Xuan took out a small brocade box from the sleeve and handed it to Xiao Lingxiao.
Xiao Lingxiao took the brocade box and opened it. It contained a white jade wrench.
This white jade wrench looks simple and inconspicuous at all, but as soon as Xiao Shuyong saw this thing, he immediately took a breath of cold air. He knows this thing too well. This is the white jade wrench that the emperor polished and let the monk open when the empress dowager was sick three years ago. It is rumored that the empress dowager put on this wrench and got well. The ministers also flattered the emperor for a long time for this. How could Xiao Shuyong not recognize this thing?
Xiao Lingxiao saw Xiao Shuyong staring at Bai Yu's wrenching and her eyes were full of doubt. She immediately took it out, put it on her thumb, raised her hand and shook her fingers, and exclaimed, "Well, it's still the Empress Dowager who loves me!"
