Chapter 31
"Father, haven't you ever heard a saying that tells a married daughter to pour water. It's hard to get rid of the water. Even if the daughter is still innocent, who will believe it?" Xiao Ning sighed and shook his head. Since someone can blow the wind in his ear , she can also be eloquent.

Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and bowed his head in silence.

"Since he and I are married, we will be husband and wife for the rest of our lives. Even if he lives on the street and becomes a bandit, then I must also be his wife in the village. There will be rumors about reconciliation. Does father want others to say that I am a man?" A bitch who despises her husband for being useless and then ruthlessly abandons her?"

Xiao Ning's eyes flickered, and he looked at Xiao Ran carefully.

The ancient times were not generally harsh on women, not to mention marriage and divorce, even a woman from a good family would be criticized for a long time if she said a few words to other men on the road.

Hearing this, Xiao Ran's complexion really changed.

To worship and get married is Licheng, not to mention whether there is a bridal chamber, it is a marriage.A second-married daughter is not likely to be wanted even if she is a low-married daughter, let alone a high-ranking nobleman.

"Daughter has been married for so long, and this is the first time that Dad cares about the harmony between my husband and wife. I don't know what made Dad think of me in his busy schedule?" Seeing his silence, Xiao Ning knew that her words had moved him. It is natural to insinuate and continue to ask questions.

"It's common sense for father to care about his daughter. No matter how busy he is, he can't forget her." Xiao Ran shook his sleeves, lowered his head to pick up the teacup, but put it down again with a frown when it was brought to his mouth.

Xiao Ning sneered in his heart, he cared about his daughter but he didn't even want to drink the crude tea her daughter drank.

This concern seems to be just lip service.

"If dad really cares about me, then please ask dad to open his mouth and ask my sister to pay back the money she owes me."

Xiao Ning whispered casually, "Father is so wise, he must have understood what my sister did that day. My family is talking about money and not money, I just want to teach your sister a lesson for father, otherwise she will not know what will happen to her in the future. What a disaster."

"Father, as a minister, you can't avoid dealing with courtiers. There are many state banquets in that family, and if my sister accidentally offends other rich ladies one day, it's not like paying a little money to make peace."

Those words made Xiao Ran's heart ring the alarm.

At the banquet in Prince Yin's Mansion, Qi'er's actions were indeed disgraceful.If the hairpin she broke was not Xiao Ning's but Princess Yin's, the consequences would be disastrous.

That day when Shizi came out to smooth things over, Qi'er slandered Shizi and said that he was Xiao Ning's lover, so she helped Xiao Ning speak.

"I know my father loves my sister, and I can't bear her being wronged." Seeing that he still didn't speak, Xiao Ning continued to chase and beat her fiercely.

"As a younger sister, I don't intend to be aggressive. But dad asked himself, if I smashed the hairpin of another family's daughter, and blatantly slandered the prince for having an affair with her, how would dad deal with me?"

Xiao Ran's throat choked, if Xiao Ning was replaced by any rich lady and acted so recklessly, then he wished he could drive this girl out of the house in full view.

Suddenly, his face darkened, he stroked his beard and turned his head away.

In court this morning, the emperor praised Xiao Ning for his ingenuity.If the emperor knew about his eccentricity, then his face would be covered with dust.

"Qi'er is still like this at this age, she is a bit arrogant and indulgent, it's hard for you to have a younger sister who thinks so much about her." Xiao Ran sighed slightly with a mournful face.

"As long as Dad handles it impartially and let my sister know her mistake, I won't bother with her about the money." Xiao Ning raised his eyebrows, a few thousand taels of silver is nothing to worry about.

Xiao Ran nodded, and raised his hand to serve tea again, but when he stretched out his hand in mid-air, he was startled and took it back.

"It's getting late, there is still business to be done in the mansion." He got up and straightened his sleeves, looked up at the yellowed wall, "I will send someone to renovate this house, if there is anything missing in the future, just send someone Go to the Shangshu Mansion. One family, don't be so cautious."

Xiao Ning nodded with a sneer, and personally sent him out into the carriage.

Just when Xiao Ran was about to step into the carriage, he reached out and grabbed his sleeve again.This was very hasty, and he was frozen in place.

He turned his head, and suddenly met a pair of sharp and examining eyes.

"Father hasn't told me yet, who told you that your husband can't talk and laugh and is boring?" Xiao Ning's voice was low and tense, carrying an invisible coercion.

Xiao Ran's throat felt cold, and somehow his heart trembled when he met such eyes.

"That's what your cousin said."

A chill flashed across Xiao Ning's eyes.

"She said that Si Ruiyan often leaves early and returns late, and sometimes doesn't come home for several days." Xiao Ran also turned around, frowning, "Ning'er, he must have raised someone outside, right?"

The corner of Xiao Ning's lips curled into a sneer, it really was Xiao Wanying who was making trouble out of nothing.

"He's a humble proton who doesn't know how to talk and laugh. How can he support others?" Xiao Ning responded coldly.

"Ning'er, if you are wronged, don't bear it. With the lintel of the Xiao family, father will definitely make the decision for you!" Xiao Ran's expression tightened, with a trace of concern in his eyes.

"It's easy to leave." She turned around and walked away, leaving Xiao Ran with a cold back.

The old fox suddenly cared so much, someone must have beaten him behind it.As a Shangshu, there are only a few people in the court who can make him fear.

The regent would not care about the affairs between their husband and wife, Qin Fufeng would not tell his father that Si Ruiyan couldn't talk and laugh, and Prince Yin couldn't get along with her even more.

After counting and counting, there is only one emperor today.

The emperor would mention her to his father simply because the delivery solved the worries in Beijing.Xiao Ran's sudden affinity was naturally because the emperor valued her and put gold on his face.

"Come on, pass the carriage to Song's house." Xiao Ning suddenly smiled playfully, someone sowed discord, wanted her husband and wife to reconcile, and she didn't know how Si Ruiyan would react when he found out.

In front of Song's house, a luxuriously decorated carriage had already parked outside the door.

Xiao Ning frowned, Song's house is not a shameful place.After Duke Li and others have been here, this place is no longer a secret place.But this unexpected guest came, which still made her feel thorny in her heart.

The style of this carriage, only women would dress up like this.

"Come on, go and shovel some filth from the stable." Xiao Ning lifted the curtain of the car, only to smell a strong smell of powder.

This is a kind of makeup that Xiao Wanying often uses on her body. This car is definitely hers.

The janitor of the Song residence lowered his head slightly, with an extremely unnatural expression on his face.

Xiao Ning didn't need to ask much to know that there was a female guest at home, and she came alone.

As soon as she walked to the door, she heard a woman's chuckle.

"This is the Great Repayment Pill I begged from Shaolin Temple. I heard that the fourth prince was injured, so I asked for it myself." Xiao Wanying's voice was as clear and graceful as an oriole.

"This medicine has to wait for the doctor's test. It's better not to conflict with the medicine I'm taking." Si Ruiyan's response sounded as plain as water, as cold as an endorsement.

"Could it be that my sister always let the fourth prince recuperate like this?" Xiao Wanying shook her head, "But yes, the restaurant business is booming, and my sister will definitely not get away. The emperor summoned me. I heard that my sister is very appreciated by the emperor, and the fourth prince will also be favored by the emperor given time."

The words are all good words, but when you taste them carefully, they are full of yin and yang.

The implication is that Xiao Ning left the injured husband at home and ignored him for his own business.Otherwise, she also met the emperor and became a master. If she was appreciated by the emperor and Si Ruiyan was also favored, it would be a real soft meal.
