The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 413 Bewitching and seizing power (3)
Xiao Mingzhen frowned.

Xiao Mingyu continued: "The old man has high hopes for the eldest brother, hoping that he can take over the burden of the patriarch and provoke the burden of the entire Xiao family. As the patriarch, being firm and courageous, courageous and resourceful is the most basic quality requirement But it's a pity that the elder brother seems to lack a lot. I have seen the characteristics of indecision, indecisiveness, and unsteady behavior in the elder brother. With the elder brother like this, it is difficult to think about being the head of the Xiao family. Worry. On the other hand, third brother, you fully possess the qualities needed to be the head of the family."

Xiao Mingzhen smiled and said, "Thank you sister Mingyu for looking up to me. But I want to study and take the imperial examination, and I will be an official in the future."

Xiao Mingyu said with a smile: "Being an official does not conflict with being the head of the family. Many people in this world are like this. While they are in charge, they are the head of the family and the head of the family. This is not a conflict."

Xiao Mingzhen raised his eyebrows, "Sister Mingyu, I don't care what your purpose is, I don't want to hear these words anymore."

"Really don't you want to? Don't you think that the third brother is completely satisfied with the eldest brother and has no objection?" Xiao Mingyu said with a smile: "If the third brother needs anything, just tell me. You also know that there are a few good ones around me." People who use it. If the third brother has made a plan and needs support, I will definitely be the first to stand up and support the third brother. The third brother thinks slowly, I will leave first."

"Wait." Xiao Mingzhen looked at Xiao Mingyu with complicated eyes, "Sister Mingyu, I know you are capable. What do you want to do this time?"

Xiao Mingyu smiled, "Is the third brother tempted? The Patriarch of the Xiao family, those who are capable live there, and the third brother is the second son of the big house. I am very optimistic about the future of the third brother."

"What good will it do you if you do this?" Xiao Mingzhen looked at Xiao Mingyu suspiciously.

"Of course there are benefits." Xiao Mingyu smiled, "I have a casual acquaintance with the eldest brother. But with the third brother, we have some friendship. I believe our friendship will deepen in the future. And I also believe that the third brother is a good friend. A person who does things justly, with you as the head of the Xiao family, many things can be saved within the Xiao family."

Xiao Mingzhen said: "Sister Mingyu, don't think too well of me. I am from the Dafang, so I must first consider the Dafang."

"Third brother can say such a thing, it proves that I am not wrong about third brother. If at this moment, the eldest brother is here, the eldest brother will definitely not say that." Xiao Mingyu smiled firmly, "I am waiting for the third brother at any time. Third brother, please don't let me down with the news about you."

Xiao Mingyu left Shi Shiran, leaving Xiao Mingzhen alone, looking at Xiao Mingyu with a complicated expression.

Before noon, the porter came in to report that Mr. Xiao had returned.

Mr. Xiao was indeed redeemed, but he was carried back with a high fever.Although the person remained awake, his body collapsed.Everyone didn't care about anything else, first asked the doctor to see Mr. Xiao.

Dr. Li is a doctor that Xiao's family is familiar with. He came to Xiao's mansion in a hurry to see a doctor, prescribe decoctions and take medicines. After finishing his busy work, almost two hours passed.

When Dr. Li came out of the bedroom, he saw that most of the Xiao family members were waiting in the hall.

Xiao Maoheng asked eagerly: "How is the old man? Is the condition serious?"

Dr. Li sighed, "Don't worry, the fever has subsided. However, due to the delay in his illness and the environment in the prison, the old man has been hit physically and mentally. Originally, the old man has given the old man health care for the past two years, and he has already seen initial results. This time when I went in, my body completely collapsed. You have to take good care of the old man, and try not to bother the old man with outside affairs. Okay, I will leave first. If there is no repeated fever at night, then there is no big problem. If there are repeated , please send someone to say it in time."

"Thank you, Doctor Li."

After sending Dr. Li away, everyone went into the bedroom to visit Mr. Xiao.Housekeeper Xiao blocked the door, "Masters, please don't disturb the old man. The doctor has ordered that the old man needs to rest. Wait until tomorrow, when the old man's condition stabilizes, come back again, masters."

"Housekeeper Xiao, what will happen to the old man?" Xiao Maoyang asked.

"Reporting to the fifth master, the old man has taken medicine and is about to go to sleep. You all please go back. The old man knows your filial piety."

Everyone had no choice but to leave first.

At night, Mr. Xiao got up and ate a bowl of porridge, feeling better.There was no recurrent fever, and the condition was considered stable.

Mr. Xiao was extremely haggard, and he was so thin that he was out of shape. He didn't have the immortal demeanor he had earlier.

Mr. Xiao asked Butler Xiao, "I heard that Bo Zong is back?"

"Reporting to the old man, the second old man did come back from Qingyun Temple, and the seventh girl and the fifth young master went to invite him. But when the second old man came back, he ate something bad after a day, and he is still lying on the bed." Xiao Butler truthfully Said.

Mr. Xiao sneered, "If you eat your stomach badly, it's clearly the poisonous hands of the second bedroom lady. Mrs. Xie, the old man has seen that this person is cruel before. In order to prevent the second brother from meddling in the affairs of the East Mansion, he dared to give the second brother Prescribing drugs. The old lady Gongsun is also a foolish and foolish woman. She was bought by Xie for mere money, and she watched Xie drug Bo Zong. She didn't think about it. It is precisely because Bo Zong is doing well that Mrs. Xie restrained herself and did not dare to act recklessly. If one day Bo Zong disappears, old lady Gongsun, hey, just wait for Mrs. Xie to take care of her."

Butler Xiao hurriedly persuaded him: "Old man, you are weak, so don't worry about external affairs. The most important thing now is to take care of your body first."

"How could I not worry about it. The huge Xiao family doesn't even have any property left. Go, call Ming Yu and Ming Zhen, and I want to ask how they talked with His Royal Highness." Mr. Xiao coughed A few times, leaning against the head of the bed, drank the medicine, and waved, "Okay, hurry up and call someone, I can't let go of these things in my heart. If I don't let the old man ask, I won't be able to sleep well tonight."

Butler Xiao knew the temper of old man Xiao, "I'll go now, but everyone is waiting to see the old man. Don't the old man meet the fourth master, the fifth master and the eldest young master first?"

"I don't see." Mr. Xiao said firmly, "Useless things, seeing what they do, I need the old man to make up my mind about everything. Although this accident, the old man was locked in prison for several days, but the outside things, the old man is not unreasonable." I know. On the contrary, it was Mingzhen who provoked the leader at a critical moment, which was beyond the old man's expectation. I didn't expect that the child Mingzhen was very talented in reading, and he was also good at handling things. As for the girl Mingyu, the old man used to treat her too much Negligence, this time our Xiao family has relied on the girl Mingyu. It is the old man, if Mingyu hadn't come forward to find His Royal Highness, when the family has collected enough money, the old man would have died inside."
