Chapter 99 At aggressive

In the inner hall of Xianglin's courtyard, the old lady sat in the middle. The eldest lady sat with her stomach out and lowered her hand, and Xiao Huanxue accompanied her. Xiao Zechun and Xiao Zelu sat next to Xiao Huanxue, while the third and eighth aunts sat a little farther away.

Xiao Lingxiao went into the inner hall and looked around and found that there was no seat for her. Bao Ronger also found this. Just as she was about to get a chair for Xiao Lingxiao, Xiao Lingxiao reached out and stopped Bao Ronger.

"If you want to know what you want, just ask. I've been in a hurry these days, and I have to go back to rest quickly."

The old lady seemed to be used to Xiao Lingxiao's tough attitude and asked with an expressionless face, "I heard your father about your being summoned to the palace. This is a big deal that damages the face of the Xiao family. Don't think you can fool it like this.

As soon as Xiao Lingxiao heard that the old lady was not kind, she sneered, " Even the emperor will no longer pursue this matter, but the old lady is still worried. Does the old lady think the emperor is unfair? Or is it intentional indulgence? I think if your words leak to the emperor's ears, it will be unfavorable to the Xiao family.

When the two aunts and the daughter of the concubine heard Xiao Lingxiao's words, they both showed some surprise and looked at the old lady, but after all, the old lady had seen the world, and she was already prepared and would not be scared by Xiao Lingxiao's words.

"Ring Xiao, you are really clever. The Xiao family has really raised a good granddaughter." The old lady sighed coldly and then said, "I heard that you have found a magic doctor who can cure this evil disease? Just now, someone came to report that there was also a servant who had that disease in the house. Go and call the magic doctor and cure him, so as not to let the others in the house get infected.

Xiao Lingxiao looked at the old lady and said coldly, "I thought the old lady was knowledgeable, but I didn't expect to say such a thing. How superb is the magic medicine? How can I, a female stream, come and go? Besides, he has left the imperial city and returned to the hidden mountains and forests. The old lady is dead.

After Xiao Lingxiao said this, the old lady laughed instead, "If the magic doctor is not the person you call and go, why would he be sent to you to solve the problem? Xiao Lingxiao, why don't you explain to me, an ignorant old woman, how did you know a magic doctor who returned to the mountain forest?

Xiao Lingxiao looked at the old lady and saw a calm and proud light in her eyes. She thought to herself that the old woman was really prepared for a long time. After saying a few words, she set a trap for me to drill in. She was so aggressive that it seemed to be a little more difficult than she thought today.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lingxiao smiled indifferently, "The old lady has lived in the house for a long time, and it is inevitable that she doesn't know many things. Although I, Xiao Lingxiao, used to be just a blind and dumb weak woman in my boudoir, now in this imperial city, there is an industry under my name. In the future, if the old lady has that leisure and elegance, she might as well go out. No matter you enter the store under the name of my Xiao Lingxiao, I will definitely give you a preferential price. As for how I know the magic doctor, I'm sorry, I have promised that the magic doctor won't talk too much about him, so you don't have to ask more, madam. I'm sorry.

The old lady thought she would embarrass Xiao Lingxiao, but she didn't expect that the girl not only did not waver and retreat, but became stronger. The old lady frowned and said in a low voice, "I heard that the magic doctor is a young man. Ling Xiao, your unclear dealings with such a man outside has ruined the reputation of the Xiao family! How can your mother-in-law find for you in the future?"

"In-law's family?" Xiao Lingxiao sneered when he heard the words, "I'm lucky to get the emperor's marriage twice, which also depends on the face of the Xiao family. Now that I am still the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, the face of the Xiao family is still there. Maybe the emperor will give me another marriage when he thinks of me in the future. Old lady, mother, I won't bother you two about this matter.

Xiao Lingxiao said so, but in fact, she knew it very well in her heart that she was an ominous person who came back from the dead and killed her husband who had not passed the door. How can anyone dare to come to propose marriage? When the old lady talked about this topic at this time, she just wanted to put a big hat on Xiao Lingxiao.

Hearing Xiao Lingxiao say this, not only the old lady, but also the others present secretly gritted their teeth. What an honor it is for the emperor to marry in person. Even among the noble daughters of a rich family, there are very few who can get such an honor. Moreover, most of the marriages pointed out by the emperor were extremely tragic. It's not like this Xiao Lingxiao. One time it was given to the fourth prince who is in the limelight now, and the other time, although it was pointed to Su Donghan, who had the name of restraining his wife, but he didn't wait for him to kill her, but he was killed by her instead. It really makes people feel that God is helping her.

The old lady suppressed her breath and said coldly, "If you can think so, it's not impossible. But even if you wait for the emperor to marry you, you can't ruin your reputation. The Xiao family will never allow you to do this! From now on, you are not allowed to leave the Prime Minister's mansion casually. If you violate it, you will be punished according to the family law.

Xiao Lingxiao vaguely felt that there must be some mystery in the old lady's words, but she couldn't see it at the time. She thought for a moment and smiled, "Old lady, if you don't let me leave the house casually, then I

What should I do about the business of

?

"A boudoir woman, what kind of business do you know!" The old lady said harshly, "Don't think I don't know. Your business is all taken care of by Xiao Fengming. Now that Xiao Fengming is missing, the Xiao family sends a business-in-knowing person to take over those stores, so you don't have to worry about those things. In addition, you are the Xiao family, especially the daughter who has not left the cabinet. Don't keep your mouth shut in the future. Those are what you earned back, but since your surname is Xiao, those are the property of the Xiao family. You have suffered some grievances before, so your father and mother and I have been giving in to you, but it's really chilling for you to see how you are now. From now on, you have to abide by the rules of the Xiao family, otherwise..."

"Otherwise?" Xiao Lingxiao smiled coldly and stared at the old lady and asked.

The old lady stared at the table and patted the table, "The Xiao family will not leave unruly descendants. If you break the family rules, I will expel you from the house!" From then on, you are not allowed to use the surname Xiao again, and the Xiao family will no longer care about your life or death!"

So that's it.

Xiao Lingxiao smiled more coldly and thought to himself that this old man was doing this plan. At the beginning, she and Xiao Shuyong secretly sent me out to assassinate, but today I came up with a way to erase me from the Xiao family tree. If she really does this, Xiao Lingxiao will no longer be the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, and she will naturally not be treated as the eldest daughter of the Xiao family. At that time, not to mention the emperor's marriage, she will not even be able to attend the party between the nobles of the rich family. She will become a commoner, and will even be bullied and hunted down by those who have bad intentions or have had a grudge against the Xiao family.

A big family like the Xiao family can be described as a big tree, but this surname is enough to protect all the descendants below. As the eldest daughter of the top door, Xiao Lingxiao was naturally sheltered in the center. When she went out of the Prime Minister's house, others would look up at her. And if the old lady deprives her of this status, she will be nothing. Her life and death have nothing to do with the Xiao family.

There is another point, which is what the old lady just said about the problems of those industries under the name of Xiao Lingxiao. In a rich family like the Xiao family, no matter how much money an individual earns, it is nominally the whole Xiao family. Although this part of the silver is still at the disposal of the individual, if they encounter a big disaster, they will all pour out their money. Especially with Xiao Lingxiao's status, if the old lady forcibly takes Xiao Lingxiao's property, even if Xiao Lingxiao makes trouble in the court, she will not return to justice. If they brazenly play rogues, there is nothing they can do.

Everyone in the room understood what the old lady meant. They all stared at Xiao Lingxiao and wanted to see whether Xiao Lingxiao was soft or hard. If she is soft, she must give the home of millions of silver to others. If she holds it hard, she will be squeezed dry by the old lady and then throws out the Xiao family.

Everyone was waiting to see this good play, and no one spoke for Xiao Lingxiao.

Xiao Lingxiao was silent for a long time, as if she had really been forced into a desperate situation. The old lady looked at Xiao Lingxiao, who was thinking about it, and seemed that she hadn't been so comfortable for a long time.

If you had known this, Xiao Lingxiao, why did you fight with us? The old lady picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and thought that the girl was still too tender.

But at this moment, Xiao Lingxiao raised his head and said a few words in Bao Ronger's ear, and Bao Ronger slipped out of the inner hall.

The old lady frowned and said angrily, "Look, you have no rules, and your maids have no rules. What does this look like?"

Xiao Lingxiao said coldly with a stiff face, "Old lady, Bao Ronger is the god sister of the monk Xuan. She is not a maid. Haven't I already told you?"

The old lady snorted coldly when she heard the words, "Since she lives in the Xiao family, she can't break the rules of the Xiao family!" You are the same!"

But after the old lady said this, Xiao Lingxiao actually bowed his head and said no. After that, the old lady repeatedly said that she would send someone to take over Xiao Lingxiao's industries, but Xiao Lingxiao only regarded it as if she hadn't heard it and didn't say a word. When everyone was surprised, Bao Ronger came back like a gust of wind. She handed Xiao Lingxiao a note. Xiao Lingxiao opened it and smiled.

"Old lady, there are too many rules in the Xiao family. I, Xiao Lingxiao, am afraid that if I don't investigate for a while, I will be kicked out of the house. So I might as well prepare early and count everything clearly, so as not to anger you one day. When you let me go out, I will drop something in a hurry.

With that, Xiao Lingxiao raised his hand to show the note to everyone present, and then laughed, "Old lady, you can see it clearly. This is an IOU written by my father, one million taels of silver. So far, I haven't seen a single article. His father lives in the Xiao family, and the money he owes is the money owed by the Xiao family. Since I will break the family rules sooner or later, it's better to do this. The Xiao family, please return this million taels of silver to me first, and then Xiao Lingxiao erases the surname of Xiao and has nothing to do with the Xiao family. How about it?"
