Quickly travel to save the cannon fodder? No, I will just flip the table

After Old Master Xiao checked, it turned out to be just as Xiao Yuanhuai said.

I don't know what Madam Xiao relies on. She sends people close to her to do such things, and they don't even clean up the mess. If something really happened, people with an eye on things would know what happened.

So the old couple called the eldest brother and his wife over, and in front of Xiao Zhen, they scolded Mrs. Xiao.

The evidence was all in front of her, and the person who had gone out to deliver the message was also kneeling in front of her. Madam Xiao had no way of arguing and could only keep saying that she had no knowledge of the matter and that it was all the servants who acted on their own.

Fortunately, she was the mistress of the prime minister's mansion. For the sake of the so-called family tradition, Xiao Zhen would never do anything like favoring a concubine and neglecting his wife. His son was the only legitimate eldest son, so no servant dared to challenge her, and they all accepted her as their own.

Old Madam Xiao snorted coldly: "Since he is a stubborn slave, no one will punish him by giving him thirty strokes of the cane, and then selling him off and telling the traffickers that he has done something wrong in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so those good places cannot be given to him!"

At this moment, all the people kneeling were panicked. Not to mention whether they could survive the thirty beatings, even if they could, how would they make a living after being sold? So they kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Seeing that Old Lady Xiao had no reaction, they went to ask Madam Xiao for help. At this time, they didn't dare to say anything more and just begged for mercy. However, they didn't expect that Madam Xiao didn't care about their lives at all and just had someone gag them and take them away.

Just when she thought the matter was over and she could still put on a smiling face to her mother-in-law, she heard a voice coming from above.

"Xiao Lin, I warned you that if you can't learn how to be a mistress, then don't do it. This is the second time today. Last time you had someone spread those words in the mansion. Since you didn't leave the mansion, I will punish you lightly and give you a heavy warning.

Now you are so confident that you dare to pass on the message to the princess. Have you ever thought about how other families will view our Xiangfu if it works? If it doesn't work, how will the princess view us?"

Madam Xiao opened her mouth and said, "Mother, how could that be? My people only said a few words on the side and didn't say it in front of anyone. The princess wouldn't know that it was the Xiangfu who did it!"

Old Madam Xiao was about to say something, but Old Master Xiao was impatient: "Okay, Madam, what else are you going to say to this idiot? She thinks everyone knows what she did. In fact, all the young people in this mansion know about it, not to mention the eldest princess. The royal family is not so easy to fool."

Seeing that Madam Xiao was still trying to defend herself, Prime Minister Xiao already knew everything through all these. In addition, his wife had just admitted it herself, so he also shouted: "Xiao Lin, shut up!"

Old Master Xiao continued: "That's the end of the matter, but Yuan Huai has now settled with Qian Qian, and we also need to give an explanation to the Princess!"

Old Madam Xiao continued, "Then we can take away Xiao Lin's power as the head of the family, let her copy scriptures in the small Buddhist temple at home, and tell others that she is sick! Boss, what do you think?"

"But, I will trouble you to take care of the backyard affairs in the future. If you are too busy, please help me, my brothers and sisters. Please take care of yourself."

The old couple were satisfied with Xiao Zhen's reaction, and they immediately asked him to leave. They told him to go back and teach his wife, and not to be an eyesore here.

So Prime Minister Xiao took Madam Xiao, who was still struggling, back to his residence.

Along the way, Prime Minister Xiao's face was livid. As soon as he entered the yard, he dismissed the servants, pulled Madam Xiao into the room, and threw her to the ground.

Mrs. Xiao saw that her husband was really angry, and she did not dare to cry out in pain even when she fell and was hurt. Outsiders praised Prime Minister Xiao as a humble gentleman with good character, but only she knew how arrogant and cold-blooded he was behind her back.

She sat there in a slumped position, silently shedding tears, looking very pitiful, but Prime Minister Xiao was too lazy to even look at her. Xiao Lin was not very good-looking when she was young, let alone now.

When he married before, it was just when he had just established his foothold in the court. In order to avoid the emperor's suspicion, he thought that the Lin family was of the upright class and had a clean family background. Lin was also well-behaved and obedient. However, he did not expect that now that she was old, she was becoming more and more unbecoming.

"Put away your tears. Have you been the mistress of the house for too long and thought that you have the final say in the Xiao Mansion? Have you forgotten to use your brain when doing things?"

"Prime Minister! I'm only doing this for our Chang'er!" Madam Xiao didn't dare to hide anything in front of Xiao Zhen, but she still avoided the main point.

"Hmph, do you think I don't know? You are targeting my niece just for your poor relatives in the Lin family. Of course, it is also for your own benefit. Unfortunately, if she were just an ordinary person, it would be fine, but that girl happened to enter my mother's yard and catch my father's eye!" Xiao Zhen just looked at her coldly, exposing this person's thoughts one by one.

"Ah, Prime Minister, I thought mother was just pretending, and father's look, that seemed to be pleasing to the eye! Otherwise, why didn't the two elders just refuse directly when I mentioned my nephew!" Madam Xiao still looked unbelieving.

"That's why I say you're stupid. If you had delayed, this might have worked out, but you got impatient and fell into the trap. You spread rumors in my mansion, thinking that Lu Qianqian was also stupid, and that your father and mother were dead."

"This this……"

"It would be fine if you just did it in the mansion, but you actually dared to spread your dirty thoughts outside. Mother is right, you are really not worthy of being the mistress of the Xiao Mansion."

Xiao Xiang couldn't help but look disappointed. After all, she was his first wife and they had an outstanding son, but he didn't expect that things had become such a mess in recent times.

Hearing this, Madam Xiao also panicked. Although the old couple of the Xiao family also said so, they had semi-retired after all, and Xiao Zhen still had the final say in the mansion.

She couldn't really lose her power. Thinking of what she had done over the years, she couldn't care less and reached out to grab Xiao Zhen's sleeve: "Prime Minister, husband, I know I was wrong, I will change, I will change!"

"Oh, you change it. After so many years, don't you think I don't know that you are suppressing the concubines in the backyard and the illegitimate sons and daughters in the mansion?

I have been concentrating on my official career and have told you many times that everything in this mansion will eventually be passed on to Yuanchang. It's a pity that you don't believe it and insist on doing things that are not presentable.

Since Yuanchang is quite outstanding, I won't bother with you. It's a pity that someone else has stepped forward. Do you still think that Xiao Yuanhuai is the little bastard you can bully at any time?

Besides, his father and mother have already chosen Lu Qianqian for Xiao Yuanhuai, which means that his wife's family is of no help at all and will only be Yuanchang's helper in the future.

Lin, I warn you, you'd better give up those thoughts of framing others and treat them well. Otherwise, it's hard to say who will own the Xiao family in the future, but my wife Xiao Zhen can be changed."

After saying this, he didn't even look at the person who fell to the ground with cold sweat on his forehead, and pushed the door open and walked out, but left a last sentence: "Lin, I will give you one last bit of face. Pack up and go to the small Buddhist temple to copy scriptures. Come out when there is no movement from the princess!"

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister..." Madam Xiao hesitated behind him.

But how could such a person recognize his own problems? He was still full of resentment, but he did not dare to show it to the head of the Xiao family, but to Xiao Yuanhuai and Lu Qianqian.

She was careless this time, and she will not let those two off easily next time!
