Chapter 46 Kneel down and beg for each other
Xiao Lingxiao said a word, and Xuan almost endured the internal injury with laughter.
Xiao Shuyong wanted to use Xuan to persuade Xiao Lingxiao, but he thought it was inappropriate, so he had to get up and leave in a hurry.
As soon as he went out, Xiao Lingxiao blamed Bai Yu and put it back in the brocade box and asked Xuan, "What's going on? Why did you come out?"
Xuan explained briefly that the letter written by Xiao Lingxiao was indeed sent to the harem by Xiao Fengming. After Xuan got the letter, he tried to presuppose the marriage of Xiao Lingxiao and Su Donghan to the emperor and the empress, and then cleverly got the white jade wrench from the empress dowager's hand.
"I guess Lord... Lingxiao, you will probably use it." Xuan smiled and looked at Xiao Lingxiao, and his eyes were full of tenderness.
Xiao Lingxiao knew that Xuan was worried about her, which was enough to make her grateful.
It's inconvenient for Xuan to stay in Lu's house for a long time. Without waiting for the lamp, he will leave.
"It doesn't matter if you live here." For Xiao Lingxiao, it's not a big deal to let a man stay in his own house, not to mention that the house is so big and spacious.
Xuan heard Xiao Lingxiao's words and his heart beat fast, but he immediately shook his head with a smile. "Zheng Mingxiao, the minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies, invited me to his place. I will stay in his house for a few days."
Xiao Lingxiao suddenly realized when he heard the words and said with a smile, "You are a popular monk in the imperial city, so I won't compete with them."
Xuan shook his head with a helpless smile and told him a few words before he left the house and took the bus to Zheng's house.
After sending Xuan away, Xiao Fengming stood behind Xiao Lingxiao and said quietly, "If you want to stand in this imperial city, you should pay attention to your name. Don't casually invite men to live in this house in the future.
Xiao Lingxiao turned around and saw that Xiao Fengming was a little angry. He was puzzled and said, "Why pay attention to the famous festival? Don't you still live here as a man?
As soon as Xiao Fengming heard this, his expression immediately changed. Naturally, he looked up and said, "I'm different!" After saying that, he turned to the inner courtyard.
Xiao Lingxiao looked at his back, and his heart was actually messed up by his domineering "I'm different".
Isn't it too promising? Xiao Lingxiao shook his head with a wry smile and walked slowly towards the inner courtyard.
In the Prime Minister's mansion, in the courtyard of Xianglin, there was a sudden sound of crisp porcelain broken.
The old lady's hands trembled angrily, stared at Xiao Shuyong and scolded, "Waste! You can't even cure a little girl. How can you carry the whole Xiao family!"
Xiao Shuyong stood aside with a pale face and did not say a word. He has not seen his mother so angry for many years, and has not heard his mother scold him like this for many years. Xiao Shuyong was wronged. He should not have been involved in this back house, but now it seems that it is all his responsibility. He also wanted to say, mother, you are in charge of everything in the inner house. Are you not responsible for this? But he didn't dare to say this sentence anyway.
"Mother, don't be angry." After a long time, Xiao Shuyong came out to comfort him.
The old lady's anger didn't know where to go. She patted the table and said angrily, "It's unfortunate! The family is unfortunate! And that Qi family! Isn't it good to take the position of the eldest lady and discipline even a child? What's the use of the Xiao family want her!"
Xiao Shuyong did not dare to defend the Qi family. He stood there and listened to the old lady's angry words about the Qi family.
When the old lady talked enough, she finally said, "Tomorrow, I'll go to the Lu Mansion with you!" I don't believe that she, Xiao Lingxiao, a little girl, can still turn the sky upside down!"
Hearing the old lady say so, Xiao Shuyong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If the old lady is willing to come forward with this kind of thing, she will naturally get twice the result with half the effort. Xiao Shuyong finally had a good night's sleep that night.
The next evening, a carriage secretly left the Prime Minister's Mansion, and quickly came to the door of Lufu.
Xiao Shuyong helped the old lady to the hall and saw Xiao Lingxiao sitting there alone. He didn't mean to bow to them at all.
The old lady sat opposite Xiao Lingxiao angrily. She didn't say anything and slapped the table fiercely first.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became much more solemn. Xiao Lingxiao looked at the old lady coldly, and the old lady also looked at Xiao Lingxiao coldly. Compared with Xiao Shuyong, the old lady is more calm and makes people feel invisible pressure. Xiao Lingxiao knows that the old lady is not easy to deal with, and is more curious about how she will deal with her unreasonable demands.
Xiao Lingxiao knows best that it is almost impossible for the old lady and Xiao Shuyong to kneel down and beg her to return home, but the more impossible it is, the more she wants to do it. Xiao Lingxiao did this not because the two of them drove her out of the Prime Minister's mansion, nor because they sent someone to kill her, but because they couldn't imagine the humiliation that the two people in front of them brought to the former Xiao Lingxiao. They felt that it was a great shame to let them kneel down once, but the humiliation suffered by the dead Xiao Lingxiao was more than a thousand times that of this kneeling!
"Do you think you have the money to fight against the Xiao family after marrying Mu De's mansion?" The old lady finally opened her mouth and said to Xiao Lingxiao in a very contemptuous tone, "Don't be delusional. You can't shake the Xiao family's century-old foundation!"
Xiao Lingxiao smiled when he heard the words, "Old lady, you were wrong." Xiao Lingxiao picked up the teacup at hand, raised it high, and whispered, "If you want to shake the century-old foundation of the Xiao family, you don't need money or the Mulde Palace." Speaking of this, the power of the wolf gushed out of her fingers, and the teacup in her hand smashed and fell to the ground. Xiao Lingxiao picked up the corners of her mouth and withdrew her hand. She looked at the old lady coldly and said, "The so-called century-old foundation is wrong and fragile. You should know it best, right? Look at where you are now. Wasn't the Lu family also a century-old foundation? Didn't even your old lady want to give the Lu family seven points? It's a century-old foundation, nothing great."
Although the old lady is still calm on the surface, in fact, her heart has also turned upside down. Xiao Lingxiao deliberately chose to buy the house of the Lu family, which must be because it can bring the greatest pressure to the Xiao family here. The instant fall of such a huge thing like the Lu family made all the rich families afraid. The Xiao family is closely related to the Lu family, and the shock is even more profound. The old lady used to be so ruthless to Xiao Lingxiao, but to a large extent, it was because half of the blood of the Lu family was flowing in her body.
The old lady was afraid that the fate of the Lu family would come to the Xiao family sooner or later.
She looked at Xiao Lingxiao and felt that the little girl had become a devil after she came back from death. Perhaps it was this evil spirit that would drag the Xiao family down from the high peak.
"Xiao Lingxiao, what on earth do you want?" The old lady calmed her mind and asked harshly.
Xiao Lingxiao sneered, looked at Xiao Shuyong again, shook his head and said, "Since you still don't understand, I might as well tell you everything I want to do. Today, you can choose not to kneel down and beg me, so I won't go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with you. Five days later, Mu De's palace failed to welcome the marriage, and this matter was bound to cause an uproar. At that time, everyone in the imperial city will know that Xiao Cheng can't control his daughter, and the Xiao family will become a laughing stock of everyone. Ah, it has become a laughing stock again. Think about it, the eldest lady of the Xiao family has become the protagonist in the play. The eldest daughter of the Xiao family would rather tear up with the Xiao family than go back to the house. Such a Xiao family is really interesting.
Xiao Lingxiao looked at the old lady and Xiao Shuyong's face worse and continued with a smile, "Mude's mansion is involved in it. Naturally, it will not give up. This marriage is ordered by the emperor. At that time, the old prince and the princess will have to come to the emperor to comment. I don't know if the emperor will be annoyed by the troubles in the parents? The prime minister, who can't even handle this kind of matter well, can the emperor trust him with national affairs? The Xiao family's weddings appointed by the emperor have been ruined twice. What's the emperor's face? At that time, if the emperor blames me, of course I will say everything, including what I know, and... what I don't know."
The old lady's face was pale. She quietly listened to Xiao Lingxiao finish what she said. For a long time, she slowly stood up, stared a pair of eyes, gritted her teeth and asked Xiao Lingxiao, "You let me and your father kneel down and beg you. Are we kneeling down, and you go back to the prime minister's mansion with us?"
Xiao Lingxiao narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly, "I, Xiao Lingxiao, keep my word. Kneel down and beg me, and I'll go back with you immediately."
"Good!"
The old lady shouted angrily, gritted her teeth, held her head high, bowed her knees, and fell to her knees with a plop.
Xiao Shuyong was shocked when he saw this, but before he could speak, the old lady said angrily, "Shuyong! You should also kneel down!"
Xiao Shuyong was so surprised that he didn't know what to say, but when he saw the old lady's resolute expression, he had to grit his teeth and kneel down. He looked up at Xiao Lingxiao, no longer concealed the resentment in his eyes, and said fiercely, "Little beast! Little beast! Are you satisfied?"
Xiao Lingxiao stood up and walked to the two of them. There was no pride on her face, but it was even colder. She opened her mouth and said to the two of them in a cold voice, "Do you resentment? Don't you want to! When I lost my eyes, when I could no longer make a sound, when I woke up from the coffin, the resentment in my heart was thousands of times more than you are now! Now you have a reason to kill me, but I have thousands of times more reasons to kill you!"
After saying this, Xiao Lingxiao took a deep breath, then turned around, strode out, and said loudly to the outside, "Bao Ronger! Get ready for the carriage and horses, let's go back to the Prime Minister's house!"
In the hall, Xiao Shuyong helped the old lady stand up. Both of them trembled slightly, but now their hearts seem to be no longer angry.
Xiao Lingxiao did what he said. The team returning to the Prime Minister's mansion was quickly ready to go. Xiao Shuyong and the old lady were shocked when they went out.
Around a carriage, more than two dozen strong young people were riding tall horses, all of whom looked serious and murderous.
