The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 25 Brother and Sister (2)
Xiao Mingqi hates it, if those wives didn't stop her from going out, she would have picked up a sword and personally killed Lamei, this lowly servant girl.No, I can't let her die so happily. She wants to skin her, torture her slowly, cut off her flesh inch by inch, and let her know what life is better than death.

As soon as Tan Shi came in, Xiao Mingqi immediately put away his ferocious expression, and threw himself into Tan Shi's arms with a face of grievance. "Mother, my daughter's life is suffering. Mother must make decisions for her daughter!"

Feeling sad, Tan comforted Xiao Mingqi, "My dear daughter, don't cry, my mother will definitely make the decision for you."

"Mother, we can't let Lamei's lowly maidservant go, let alone Wufang. This matter must be done by Wufang. Mother, my daughter can't be slandered by others for nothing. If those words are spread, how will my daughter go out in the future? Seeing someone? How can you marry someone? Mother, you can't just ignore it."

Tan's face was frosty, wishing Han's death in his heart. "Don't worry, my mother will definitely seek justice for you in the future."

"If my daughter doesn't follow me, my daughter will be here now."

"My dear daughter, the old man has spoken, and the end of the year is approaching, so let's bear with it. When the new year begins, Mother will definitely let you have a good show."

"Really?" Xiao Mingqi became excited, "Mother, we must take revenge and go back. We must not let the people in Wufang be proud."

Xiao Mingzhen had been listening outside for a while, but he couldn't take it anymore.Walking into the room, "Mother, we can no longer indulge Ming Qi, this is harming her. This time is a lesson."

Xiao Mingqi yelled, "Mother, look at third brother. Third brother, you are my own brother, how can you say that about me? You don't want to avenge me, but you still say it's a lesson, you have to do this brother Is it?"

"That's right, Mingzhen, your sister has been greatly wronged, so please don't say a few words." Tan Shi also said.

Xiao Mingzhen had a dark face, "If you weren't my own sister, I wouldn't even ask you whether you lived or died. If you were kind to your subordinates and friendly to your sisters, why would you suffer so much? Mother, you can't Don't spoil her anymore. In our house, when something big happens, there are family members who will cover it up for her. But in the future, when she goes to her in-law's house, who will cover it up for her? Losing face is not only about losing face, but also about our Xiao family's face. Doesn’t mother understand this truth?”

"Wow..." Xiao Mingqi burst into tears, "Xiao Mingzhen, you are still human. I am already like this, and you are still cursing me. You get out. What kind of brother are you, there is no brother like you in the world."

"Mingzhen, your sister has suffered so much, so stop talking about it." Mrs. Tan was very dissatisfied.

Xiao Mingzhen was very disappointed and felt deeply powerless.Looking at Xiao Mingqi who was grimacing proudly, Xiao Mingzhen felt disgusted for the first time.

Xiao Mingzhen flung his sleeves and left, Tan was worried and chased after him.Xiao Mingzhen was standing under the eaves, as if he was sure that Mrs. Tan would chase him out.

Mrs. Tan waved her hand, and all the waiters in the yard retreated. "Mingzhen, mother knows that you are unhappy, and you are really thinking of Ming Qi. But Ming Qi has such a temper, will she listen to what you say?"

"Could it be that we didn't talk because she didn't listen? Are we all so spoiled by her? Mother, Ming Qi has a problem with her temper. It's not like she doesn't know. Why do you indulge me again and again? Which girl is like Ming Qi? The same, beat and scold the servants. Is there any girl who is like Ming Qi, who will push her sisters into the ice hole. Mother, conniving is killing her." Xiao Mingzhen earnestly hoped that Tan could listen to it for a while. sentence.

Mrs. Tan was not happy, "That's enough, don't bring up the past. Even if you really want to be disciplined, you should wait until Ming Qi's injury recovers. Ming Zhen, you are an older brother, so you should care more about it at this time." She is a little bit. Why do you talk harshly when you have a pale face in a hurry. Don't explain Qi, even my mother will not be happy when she hears it."

Xiao Mingzhen smiled self-deprecatingly, "What Mother said is true, so let's do it according to Mother's wishes."

"That's right, Ming Qi wants to be disciplined, but this account must be settled. Our eldest family has never suffered such a big loss. If we don't recover, our eldest family's status will be in jeopardy. Ming Zhen, you are my mother's hope. Although the most important thing for you now is to devote your mind to your studies, you also need to know these things. Your elder brother is busy with managing the property and is often not at home, and your father is far away in the capital. You are the only one I can rely on." After speaking, Tan's tone was filled with sadness.

"Mother, don't worry, my son won't let mother down." Xiao Mingzhen said with absolute certainty.

Feeling relieved, Tan wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, "I heard that the old man sent three groups of people out, but we haven't found your fifth uncle yet. I don't know where your fifth uncle went."

"Uncle Wu will definitely come back before the Chinese New Year." Xiao Mingzhen was very sure.

Mrs. Tan didn't care, "Your fifth uncle is so talented, he is a well-known talent in Zhongzhou, but mother doesn't want you to learn from your fifth uncle. Your fifth uncle's temperament, look, he has been in office for many years, just like that. Learn more Focus on your father, your father is the pillar of the Xiao family."

"Mother, my son has a sense of proportion. He won't be like Uncle Fifth." Xiao Mingzhen was also hesitating in his heart, completely following his father Xiao Maolin's approach, he was not so willing.

"Is there a letter from the capital?" Tan asked with concern.

Xiao Mingzhen shook his head, "There hasn't been a letter this month. Mother, don't worry, father is in the capital, and there are old people around him, father will be fine."

She was not worried about Xiao Maolin's affairs, but worried about those foxes who would make trouble while she was away.But here in Zhongzhou, she couldn't let it go, so she could only leave Xiao Maolin alone with those foxes. "If there is a letter from the capital, remember to tell mother in time. I don't know when your father will come home."

"If mother misses father, why not go to the capital." Xiao Mingzhen suggested.

Tan shook her head again and again, "It's not like you can leave when you say you can. There are so many people in the family and so many things, it doesn't mean that you can let go of it. Mingzhen, when you win Juren, you go to the capital and help your mother take care of it. How is your father? Everyone around your father should be beaten, so as not to damage your father's bones."

Xiao Mingzhen was not interested, "Let's talk about it later. Who can say for sure whether he will win next year."

"You are so knowledgeable, the master said that you are sure to hit the mark."

Xiao Mingzhen was not so optimistic.The selection of scholars by scholars and politicians is not only based on knowledge, but also on background.On the one hand, someone in the Xiao family is an official in the capital, and on the other hand, they have a lot of contacts with the Prince Qin's mansion. It is a two-way bet, hoping that both ends will be successful, but there is no such good thing in the world.With the control of the Qin Palace over Zhongzhou, how could this situation be allowed to continue for a long time.Maybe there will be some action in the Qin Palace at any time.

Xiao Mingzhen rubbed the center of his eyebrows, suppressing the boredom in his heart, "Mother is good to look at Ming Qi, don't spoil her anymore. Son go back to read first."
