Houmen Dixiu

Chapter 7
Although Xiao Yitao was obsessed with ticketing all day long, he was not stupid after all. Seeing the situation of the Du family, he felt that something was wrong, so he quickly winked at his wife.

Mrs. Xiao cleared her throat, and then asked with a pleasant face: "My relatives, old lady, tomorrow is the funeral day for my third younger brother and sister. I don't know what is the purpose of gathering everyone today?" After leaving Xiao Huaisu, with a look of pity, "Third girl is still not fully recovered from her illness, and this also dragged her out, it's really..."

Mrs. Wang pursed the corners of her lips, and smiled mockingly, "The people we take care of all know whether Huai Su's illness is good or not. Mrs. Xiao usually doesn't come here often, so how can she know so clearly?"

She choked on a single sentence, so Madam Xiao didn't have the nerve to speak any more, she just covered the corners of her lips with a silk handkerchief and answered vaguely.

The Lord Gaoyi cast a heavy gaze over him. He used to smile a little hypocritically at Xiao Huaisu, but now he showed an inexplicable disgust.

Xiao Huaisu blinked her eyes, pretending to be ignorant and bewildered, but she didn't ignore the viciousness and disgust that flashed past those eyes when they looked at her, which made people shudder, and she unconsciously turned to Mrs. Wang Leaning in his arms.

"What is the county lord doing? You don't have to frighten the child!"

Mrs. Wang patted Xiao Huaisu's shoulder lightly, and turned her gaze to the county magistrate of Gaoyi lightly, "We are talking about family affairs today, and it stands to reason that the county magistrate should not be present, do you think so?"

The face of Gaoyi county master blushed, and he kept his mouth shut, but still forced himself to suppress it, and turned his eyes to Xiao Yihai angrily, meaning that he wanted him to stand up for himself at this time.

Xiao Huaisu pursed her lips and looked over curiously. She also wanted to know what this man would do.

Xiao Yihai's condition is slightly better than yesterday, it can be seen that he has a good appearance, if not for this, he would not be able to offend the peach blossoms outside, but at the moment half of his cheeks are still a little red and swollen, and he lacks a bit of coquettish and unrestrained demeanor.

He avoided the eyes of the county master Gaoyi, and then glanced at the Du family on the opposite side, and finally lowered his head silently.

Xiao Huaisu sighed in his heart, this is indeed a cowardly and incompetent man, he has guilt for his dead wife, but also can't protect his own woman, under the contradiction between the two, he will definitely not do anything.

Xiao Yihai will be like this in his life.

The Lord of Gaoyi County was depressed in his heart, gritted his teeth, and moved closer to Mrs. Xiao in a sensible way, and said in a warm voice: "I have been with the old lady for many days. Whenever the old lady has a headache, I can take care of her nearby." Besides, the old lady didn't ask me to leave." She glanced at Wang, her gaze was as sharp as a knife, "Why do you say such a thing? This is not at Du's house!"

Mrs. Xiao nodded in satisfaction, "It's still Gao Yi who knows how to take care of my old man, not like some people..." He glanced at the Du family again, and the meaning behind his words was not difficult to understand.

Such accusations and scolding made Mrs. Du furious. She clapped her hands and stood up, sneering, "Since the county lord is so filial, why don't you show your filial piety in front of Princess Daming? If you are so dishonest, you won't be afraid of being laughed at!"

Mrs. Xiao took the hand of the county master Gaoyi unhurriedly, and looked at Mrs. Du provocatively, "Well, this name will be correct sooner or later, so I don't need Mrs. Du to bother."

The talk has already reached this point, the Xiao family made it clear that they wanted to protect the Gaoyi County Lord, and also knew that the Du family would not dare to do anything to them no matter what.

Old Mrs. Du shook his head emotionally, with regret on his face, "The Xiao family is really not as good as the previous generation. Thinking about how brilliant the fourth and third generations of the Xiao family in Lanling were, it's a pity that the descendants of later generations are not as good... Old Hou Ye just left In just a few years, the Xiao family has become like this!"

The Xiao family members who were present at the scene were all pale at the words!

"Father-in-law!"

Xiao Yihai stood up hastily, and was about to say something, but was held back by Xiao Yitao, he straightened his expression, and said in a deep voice: "The old lady in-law wants to say something clearly!"

Those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come!
Xiao Yitao didn't want to get involved in the Sanfang's confusion, but it was related to the reputation of the Changxing Marquis Mansion, he just didn't want to intervene, and now he has to intervene.

Old Mrs. Du's eyes were fixed and there was a bit of awe, just when the Xiao family thought he was about to speak, he took the tea at the table and moistened his throat without haste.

Du Bowen on the side straightened his sleeves, and said calmly, "Since Lord Hou said so, let's make it clear today!" His eyes glanced at Gaoyi County Lord and Xiao Yihai, obviously with a bit of disdain , "Master Xiao San dared to do such a thing, so don't put gold on your face anymore. After all, our Du family doesn't want to get involved in your family's stupidity, but..." A finger pointed to Xiao Huaisu, "Huaisu She is Bo Shu's biological daughter, and our Du family will take her away this time!"

"Why, that's my Xiao family's daughter?!"

Mrs. Xiao panted heavily, obviously very angry, even if she didn't want to see Xiao Huaisu, she couldn't allow the Du family to take him away in a grandiose manner.

"Why?!"

Du Boyan sneered, "You Xiao family thought you were on a big tree, so you wanted to kick us away. There is no such good thing in this world. Even if you want to sue the emperor, you have to see who is more reasonable. !"

The implication is that the Du family does not take the initiative to cause trouble, but it does not mean that they are afraid of trouble. After Du Boshu's death, they couldn't find any real evidence that someone had tampered with it. But it's the real thing, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, I'm afraid that belly will not be able to cover it up after a while.

"Master Hou!"

Only then did Old Master Du cough, and stood up slowly, with a long and awe-inspiring manner, "I can't explain this stupid account now, but Bo Shu is really gone. Is it possible that your Xiao family can still compensate me?" A daughter?"

Old Mrs. Du spoke very calmly, but the sad meaning in the words made Xiao Huaisu's nose a little sour. She looked up at the old man not far away, and seemed to experience his father's deep feeling for the first time. Unspeakable grief.

When it came to Du Boshu, the Xiao family all remained silent. Even Mrs. Xiao turned her head away uncomfortably, deliberately trying to avoid this topic.

The room became quiet for a moment.

The warm fragrance wafted around, Xiao Huaisu felt his nose itchy, and couldn't help but sneezed.

The Du family's eyes immediately turned around, the sharpness and sarcasm in their eyes receded quickly, and the eyes looking at Xiao Huaisu were full of concern.

Mrs. Wang hugged her in her arms, tightened her clothes, lowered her head and asked, "But it's cold?"

Xiao Huaisu shook his head, touched his nose again, and said with some embarrassment: "The scent made my nose itchy, I couldn't help it..." He lowered his head and looked shy.
