After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Wei Zi looked at Mr. Xing coldly.

Mr. Xing boasted that his son was a student at the Hanlin Academy and his daughter-in-law was a daughter of the Hou family. Now he was dressed very solemnly. His clothes were silk and his hair was full of pearls. His face was painted with the most popular makeup in Beijing, but his brows and corners of his eyes were full of meanness and arrogance. , as if she was pickled by ugliness, and no matter how elegant or gorgeous she is, she can't get rid of her bitter look.

After receiving a look from Wei Zi, Qingju immediately put her hands on her hips and cursed: "You old shrew, if your eldest son commits a crime, Mr. Xiao will take care of business! Are you the one who insults an official of the imperial court in the street like you?! Be careful, Mr. Xiao will even blame you. Catch them together!”

"You bitch—"

Xing was furious and turned around to scratch Hua Qingju's face.

Before she could take action, two officers quickly held her down.

Xiao Fengxian glanced at the embarrassed Xing family, a chill flashed across her fox eyes, and said casually: "Miss Wei complained that Xiao Lingxiao repeatedly harassed her. As the minister of punishment, I should make the decision for Miss Wei and punish the disciples with evil intentions. Son. If Mrs. Xing is dissatisfied, she can go to His Majesty and sue me."

"you--"

Xing was furious and wanted to curse again, but the officer gagged her mouth with a rag.

Seeing something bad, Xiao Long immediately beat his chest and stamped his feet, crying: "What a misfortune for our family! Look, my little son, taking advantage of his high position, retaliates against his brother and humiliates his mother in every possible way! What's wrong with my Xiao family? Such an evil thing happened!"

He was crying, suddenly raised his crutch, and hit Xiao Fengxian with a stern face.

While beating him, he cursed: "I'll beat you to death, you unfilial little beast! Why don't you let your brother go quickly! If I had known you would be like this, I should have drowned you when you were born." !”

Xiao Fengxian didn't hide.

The crutch hit him hard on the shoulder, and all the officials and officials next to him were stunned.

Xiao Fengxian dusted her shoulders and raised her eyes to glance at Xiao Long.

His eyes were so cold that even though it was spring, it made Xiao Long shiver.

Xiao Long subconsciously took a few steps back. The young man in front of him was wearing a purple official robe, and his hair was tied with a gold hairpin. He was much taller than him and Xiao Lingxiao. The three-finger-wide black leather belt tied his waist, and he was full of majestic strength. The Tao seems to be hidden under that official robe.

Xiao Long's hand holding the cane couldn't help but tremble slightly.

He knew very well that today's Xiao Fengxian was no longer the helpless little pitiful person in Shanyin County back then.

Xiao Fengxian stared at him and curled her thin lips: "Father, does he know what day it is today?"

Xiao Long didn't want to fall behind in front of others and lose his father's majesty, so he frowned and said: "What day?!"

Xiao Fengxian paused, and her smile became lazier and sarcastic: "I guess you can't remember it either."

"I don't care what your life is like," Xiao Long sternly said, "Hurry up and let go of your brother and mother! Now that you are rich and have strong wings, you don't take our whole family seriously anymore! But don't forget Xiao Fengxian , you grew up eating food from our family, your surname is Xiao, you have to obey your father and brother for the rest of your life, and you have to be filial to your aunt for the rest of your life!"

Seeing that Xiao Fengxian was motionless, Xiao Long shouted: "Beast, if you don't let me go, I will file a complaint! I will ask the Holy Emperor to remove you from your official position and tell you to go back to Shanyin County! What kind of thing are you? You are also worthy of being a minister, in my opinion, your position should be given to your brother!"

Xiao Lingxiao and Xing, who were caught by the officials, nodded in agreement when they heard this.

Xiao Fengxian lowered his eyes.

After a long while, he smiled: "Come here, Xiao Long and Xing insulted the imperial officials and were thrown into prison to await trial."

Xiao Long and Xing's eyes widened in disbelief.

Without waiting for them to say anything else, the officials quickly escorted them into the government office.

The people watching felt pity for Xiao Long and Xing, and pointed at Xiao Fengxian one after another.

"There is such a cruel son in the world, even his parents were sent to prison!"

"Isn't that true? It's a pity that his parents raised him so much, but he turned around and claimed that his brother-in-law was a deceiver! Isn't this deliberately ruining his future? This Minister Xiao is so cold-blooded!"

"I heard that his biological mother was a brothel prostitute. If her biological mother is so humble, it's not surprising that he is so dark!"

"..."

There was endless discussion.Wei Zi quietly clenched the embroidered handkerchief in her hand.

These people didn't know the truth and just blamed Xiao Fengxian, but they didn't know that his so-called father, brother and aunt had never regarded him as a human being.

There is no father in the world who only hopes that his son will be well. Xiao Long, like Xue Ziyu, is not a competent parent at all.

She followed Xiao Fengxian into the government office and whispered, "Am I causing trouble for you?"

Xiao Fengxian didn't care: "I have wanted to deal with them for a long time. Miss Wei gave me an opportunity. I am grateful before it is too late."

He called her "Miss Wei".

Wei Zi was a little uncomfortable and a little funny, so she couldn't help but laugh softly.

Xiao Fengxian looked back at her.

The spring sun was breaking, and a few early-blooming snow-white pear blossoms were peeking into the corridor. She was wearing a lotus-green satin jacket with a blouse, and a veil to cover her smiling lips. The steps beside her bun were swaying gently in the spring breeze, and the light and shadow were reflected. Mottled, she is brighter and more delicate than pear blossoms when she smiles.

So lovely.

The hostility in Xiao Fengxian's eyes quietly dissipated, leaving only a shallow joy.

Not far away, Wei Huanjin had a panoramic view of the two of them.

He rolled his eyes in displeasure.

Ever since Xiao Zi returned home, he, as his elder brother, had been courteous to her in every possible way, but he had never seen her smile like this. This brat could make her laugh just by saying "Miss Wei", but this is really a bad thing for a female student. !
He couldn't help being angry: "In two months, my sister will marry His Highness the Second Prince!"

Xiao Fengxian: "..."

Wei Zi: "..."

Suddenly I couldn't laugh anymore.

That night.

The night is as cool as water.

Wei Zi sat under the lamp and read the "Laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty". Xiao Lingxiao's behavior of harassing her could be light or serious, depending on how the judge tried it.

She closed the book, her peach-blossom eyes thoughtful, she was now His Second Highness's unmarried concubine, if the sentence was harsher, maybe Xiao Lingxiao could be deprived of his official title...

While she was thinking about it, Xiao Fengxian's words from the daytime suddenly appeared in her mind:

——Father, does he know what day today is?
Wei Zi was stunned, today is Xiao Fengxian's birthday!

No wonder his expression was so strange at that time!
Today is his birthday when he was young, but his father beat him and insulted him in the street with a cane, and clamored for him to give up his official position to his eldest son!
No matter how much Xiao Fengxian doesn't expect her father's love, she will still be secretly sad when faced with Xiao Long's behavior, right?

Xiao Fengxian...

She thought about the young man who had walked out of Shanyin County with her and the insults and contempt he had endured over the years. She quickly changed into a dress and quietly left the Zhenguo Palace through the back door under the cover of darkness.

At this moment, the Xiao Mansion was brightly lit.

Xiao Fengxian sat alone in the waterside pavilion.

The huge garden was empty and lonely, and a theatrical troupe hired with a lot of money was singing babblingly across the street.

He put his face on his hands and listened to the play in boredom.

The food table in front of him was filled with delicacies, but there was no one to drink with him, and the dishes were already cold.

No one celebrated his birthday.

He knew it. (End of chapter)
