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

After that, everyone played in the manor for another day and then returned to Beijing. It seemed that no one knew about Xiao Yuanchang's affairs.

But the occasional glances cast at him and the whispers behind his back made Xiao Yuanchang very uncomfortable and he felt even more resentful.

Liu Yinyin's attitude didn't change much, which made Xiao Yuanchang feel a little relieved.

Before leaving, the eldest princess took Qianqian's hand in front of everyone and said directly: "Qianqian, I get along well with you. If you and Yuanhuai encounter any difficulties in the future, just come to the princess's mansion to find me." Then she gave some rewards.

This scene made many people jealous. They realized that the eldest princess was not as promiscuous as the rumors said. Didn’t they see that she was just admiring Xiao Yuanhuai?

And the foreign cousin of the prime minister's family was unaware of the situation and tried to get close to her, which led to her getting the upper hand.

If they had known this, why would they be so cautious and wait-and-see? Such favor and rewards would have nothing to do with these two people.

This moment I wish time could go back.

Xiao Yuanchang's mood became even worse. He had lost more than he gained. Fortunately, he was about to go back. When he returned to Beijing, it was hard to say what these two people would do in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

But I didn't expect that after half a day's journey, when I entered the mansion, I was greeted by "Old Master, Master wants to see you!" And I didn't even have time to change clothes.

Instead, he didn't call Xiao Yuanhuai and Lu Qianqian. He had messed up that matter in the past few days. He had some guesses at the moment, but he still held some hope!

As soon as he entered the house, the servants retreated and closed the door from the outside. His grandparents and parents were all in the room. His mother looked haggard and shed tears silently. She looked at him but didn't dare to say anything.

Xiao Yuanchang's pupils shrank. It seemed that everyone in the family knew about it, but he pretended not to know.

"You evildoer, why don't you kneel down!"

Xiao Yuanchang knelt down obediently, but he said, "I don't know what my son did wrong to make his father so angry!"

Xiao Xiang refused to give her the slightest bit of face: "Oh, it seems that the princess is right. You, an ignorant woman, have only learned the basics of her ways."

Xiao Yuanchang's face flushed red, and he said angrily: "Father, why did you say that?"

"Why, you want me to tell you what you did? The princess sent someone to the mansion to pass on the message the day before yesterday. You idiot, don't you consider the place and the occasion? Don't you use your brain when doing things?"

After Prime Minister Xiao finished scolding, Old Master Xiao slowly raised his eyelids and looked at his grandson with a fake smile: "Fortunately, the princess let you go this time, otherwise, my Xiao family would have become a joke in the entire capital. You framed your brother for no reason and were caught by the master. My eldest grandson is really promising!"

Xiao Yuanchang was still quibbling: "Grandfather, you can't just listen to one side of the story. The princess fell in love with Xiao Yuanhuai. I just drank too much and asked him to take me back to my room. But the princess followed me with people and brought Qianqian with her. It was obviously a misunderstanding, but these two didn't say a word..."

Old Madam Xiao couldn't listen any more. It seemed that she, a woman, was more clear-headed than her grandson. "Well, keep these explanations to yourself. Don't treat people as fools. You are dragging them into this water. If it weren't for Yuan Huai and Qian Qian's pleading, the princess would have let you go so easily. I'm afraid she was worried that you would confuse right and wrong, so she sent someone to pass on the message in advance!"

At this point, the old lady smiled strangely and said, "Yuanchang, there are many things in the backyard. If you really want to learn, the three-legged tricks you learned from your mother are not enough. How about I teach you, grandma?"

At this time, Madam Xiao couldn't help it. How could she humiliate them like this? "Mother, how can you say that?"

"Why, did you say it wrong?"

Seeing that Madam Xiao was still trying to talk back and Xiao Yuanchang was also looking unconvinced, Old Master Xiao felt a little tired: "Well, I've told you a long time ago that as long as it doesn't get out, we won't bother to ask what you did in the mansion and it doesn't hurt the reputation of our Xiao family, but we can't lose face outside.

Xiao Zhen, your wife and children, your mother and I will not help educate them, so as not to cause resentment. You decide for yourself!"

Xiao Xiang seemed to be doing a good job on the surface: "I am sorry for tiring my father and mother. I am an unfilial son. Whether it is to rectify the house or to give an explanation to the princess, I think Lin will continue to be confined until the New Year. As for Yuanchang, she doesn't need to go out these days. I will teach her personally. As for the princess, I have to trouble my mother to send some gifts."

It seemed that Prime Minister Xiao still wanted to let them go lightly. Xiao Yuanchang secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. It wasn't long before the New Year, and it would be easier for him to deal with those two people if they were in the mansion.

Old Master Xiao also knew what his son was thinking, but seeing his grandson's expression, in order to avoid trouble later, he still gave him a reminder: "Yuanchang, don't blame your grandfather for not reminding you. A child of an aristocratic family should act like a child of an aristocratic family. If you can hit the target with one strike and there are no consequences, that's fine. If not, then you'd better keep quiet. Don't forget that the Spring Examination is coming soon!"

This didn't belittle him. Xiao Yuanchang straightened up immediately and said, "Thank you for your advice, Grandfather. I will study hard for the exam and I will definitely be on the list next spring!"

After hearing this, Old Master Xiao sneered in his heart. Listen, Xiao Yuanhuai said that he would definitely be the top scorer. But his arrogant grandson now knows his place and just said that he was on the list.

There was no need to say anything more and they just let the three of them leave.

After returning here, Xiao Zhen would of course discipline his wife and son again. He was not polite at all to Madam Xiao and was full of sarcasm and ridicule.

Madam Xiao was really wronged this time. She really didn't teach her anything on purpose, but she didn't avoid her son when doing things, so he was afraid that he had been influenced by these things. However, Madam Xiao didn't dare to defend herself. It was better for her to bear these than for her son to bear them!

After scolding, seeing that his wife did not refute and became somewhat obedient, Xiao Xiang asked people to continue to go to the small Buddhist temple to worship Buddha.

As for Xiao Yuanchang, he asked someone to go into the study. Compared with just now, his expression was much calmer!

When Xiao Yuanchang listened to his father's lecture, his expression no longer showed his previous anger. After all, what Prime Minister Xiao said was not very serious.

But I also know that I should be more obedient before the Spring Examination. I just don’t know what to do with Yin Yin. If I don’t go to see her in these few days, she might get angry.

But he had no idea that his backyard, which he had not even moved into yet, was about to catch fire.

After returning to Beijing, all the young men and women from the noble families who attended the banquet knew everything they should know, including Liu Yinyin.

When Duke Liu spoke of this with a sneer on his face, Liu Yinyin couldn't hold back her shame either. She was young and in love, and everything had been going smoothly for her. How could she bear to see the people around her become such a joke?

All those love at first sight and admiration were not as important as one's own face, not to mention that one had met someone better. Now looking at Xiao Yuanchang, it was just like that.

Thinking of this, her expression became a little lighter: "Father, you are the one who decides my daughter's marriage."

"Oh, my dear daughter, why are you in such a hurry? The excitement in the Prime Minister's Mansion has just begun. He has been the Prime Minister for so many years. Some time ago, he enjoyed a lot of glory because of the birth of Xiao Yuanhuai in his family. But now his legitimate son has caused such troubles. This man is just young and can't hide it! Hahaha!"

"Dad, what else do you say he does?"

"Yinyin, don't be anxious. Xiao Yuanchang is the legitimate son after all. This little mistake doesn't matter. Besides, your father can still go and see Prime Minister Xiao making fun of himself. You should wait a little longer and talk about it after the Spring Examination!"

"Well, Dad, what if he comes to see me again?"

"Just put it off. The New Year is almost here and we're busy with family matters. You should also learn about the affairs of the rear house from your mother, so as not to end up like a laughing stock like Xiao Yuanchang in the future!" It seemed that Liu Xiang really wanted to see a joke, and he kept talking about that man every other sentence.

"Dad, why are you still talking!" Liu Yinyin was secretly annoyed by what he said. Xiao Yuanchang was really something. He didn't even think before doing anything. Now everyone knew that she was with him. It was also her face that was lost. Really, huh!
