her screams disturbing the entire manor. 。“Fēier! Fēier!” Mrs. Xiao saw her child in so much pain, and she couldn't bear it. 。 "Mother, save me! Save me!" Xiao Yufu clutched Mrs. Xiao's hand tigh...After pacing back and forth for a while, Qian Si Chen came to a stop, as if she had made up her mind. "Then let's point the blame at someone else," she said, her voice laced with a hint of malice. "You should understand what I mean"

Ling Tian thought for a moment, then immediately understood. He nodded solemnly: "I understand!"

After Ling Tian left, Qian Si Chen clenched her fist and slammed it on the table: "Grand Chancellor, don't blame this palace, this palace did all this for your own good!"

However, the moment Ling Tian walked out, from a corner nearby, Ruge slowly emerged. She had furrowed brows and icy eyes that glanced at Qian Si Chen's study before turning away. She then addressed the palace maid who came towards her: "The princess said to have two sets of clothes made for me. Let's go out together later."

"Good, as Song Girl!" the little maid didn't know whether it was a plan, nodding in agreement.

The Mingzhu Mansion.

Since Mrs. Xiao moved in, she has been gloomy every day. Xiao Yuge just finished practicing her dance and planned to take her for a walk, fearing that she would be depressed staying at home.

"Mother, the weather is nice today. Let's go for a walk outside," Xiao Yuge coaxed, taking her mother's arm and leading her out of the mansion.

"My dear, I don't want to go out," But even at the doorstep, Madam Xiao still didn't intend to move.

"Mother, we're already out, let's just go. Let's go to the Zhucui Building and see if they have any new jewelry. Ge'er will buy you some." Xiao Yuge insisted on pulling her away.

Walking and walking, I actually ran into Xiao Zhan!

"Father, what are you doing here" Xiao Yu Ge was surprised.

"Madam..." Xiao Zhan walked forward and greeted his wife.

As soon as Lady Xiao saw him, she turned around and wanted to leave.

"Mother, just listen to what father has to say, will you" Xiao Yuge hurriedly stopped her.

"Ge'er, so it turns out today you were in cahoots with him!" Madam Xiao was very angry, thinking that Ge'er had actually stood on her husband's side. Feeling wronged, she pretended to walk away again.

"Madam!" Xiao Zhan hurriedly stopped her. It was clear that he hadn't been doing well these past few days. Perhaps he had gotten used to having his wife around to take care of things, and all of a sudden, with no one in the house to manage it, his life had become a mess. He couldn't even find his clothes, and on top of that, he was restless and had been reprimanded by the Emperor in court. Finally, he realized that without his wife, his life would be utter chaos.

Perhaps all men are like this, only realizing something's precious when they've lost it.

Mrs. Xiao turned her back with tears in her eyes, unwilling to look at him. After what he had done, how could she possibly forgive him

"Madam, I was wrong! It's all my fault. If you don't forgive me, then please hit me. Even if you beat me to death, I won't blame you!" Xiao Zhan took a twig from his body and walked in front of his wife.

Lady Xiao looked at the thorny branch, stunned for a moment, but still turned her back again, wiping her tears, and stubbornly ignoring him.

"My Lady, if you are still angry, then kill me!" Xiao Zhan took out his short knife again and circled in front of her.

Mrs. Xiao was stunned. This was the first time Xiao Zhan had shown weakness in front of her. In fact, these days, she had also thought a lot and knew that although her husband was wrong, it wasn't entirely his fault. It was because she hadn't been able to give the Xiao family a son. Giving birth to a daughter who was so disobedient added to her guilt as well. She felt very self-reproachful.

Actually, her heart had long forgiven the old master, but she just couldn't get over the hurdle in her mind.

"Madam..." Xiao Zhan looked at her pitifully.

Madam Xiao flung the short dagger and thorny branches from his hand to the ground, weeping, "Even if I kill you, what will change Will they mother and son cease to exist I asked you to go back and find a solution, not to pressure me!"

“Madam...” Xiao Zhan was unwilling to part with his marital affection, but things had come to this. He also had to make a choice: “My lady, rest assured, I won’t let anyone know about their existence. I won’t divorce you either. You are my wife, my wife for all eternity!”

“Do you think paper can contain fire” Mrs. Xiao was also angry at his foolishness: “Your political enemies, once they know about the existence of their mother and son, if they make a big deal out of it, your career, everything you have, will cease to exist!” Indeed, she had thought of the point.

Xiao Yuge, who had originally been delighted to see her parents reconcile, felt a pang of unease upon hearing her mother's words. Thinking it over, she realized the potential danger. Her mother had been staying with her for several days now. If word got out, malicious individuals would surely investigate, and this probe could very well lead to trouble!

"Father, Mother is right. There are so many eyes in the court watching the Xiao family, all hoping to find fault with you. Once this matter is discovered, it will surely reach the Emperor's ears, and then things will truly be troublesome."

Xiao Yu's song the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. If they could think of this level, then others must have thought of it too. If someone wanted to use her father's power and didn't want him to fall from power, they would definitely secretly help her father solve this trouble. Then wouldn't Shen Mei Hua and her son be in danger

"Madam, why don't you go home with me first When the time comes, you can decide what to do!" Xiao Zhan also thought of the consequences at this time. He had to appease his wife. Only if those close to him were not in chaos could he have the energy to deal with other matters.

"Mother, you should go back with Father first. Things have come to this, and we can only look for solutions. What Ge'er said to you yesterday will always count!" Xiao Yuge also chimed in, persuading her mother. She didn't want her mother to suffer, but rather wanted her to go back first and stabilize the Xiao family. If Father insisted on marrying Shen Mei Hua and her son, then as long as her mother was willing to divorce Father, she would support her for life.

Finally, under Xiao Yu Ge's persuasion, Madam Xiao agreed to go home with Xiao Zhan first, temporarily stabilizing the Xiao family and letting those who were speculating outside calm down for a while.

After they left, Xiao Yu Ge hurried to Ruyi Fang. On the way, she brushed shoulders with someone who seemed to have an extra piece of paper in their hand. On a whim, she secretly opened it and her face turned pale with surprise. It seemed that her guess was right after all.

After arriving at Ruyi Fang, she immediately found Feng Yanniang.

"Sister Feng, how are things going at Yu Long Village" She hadn't had a chance to come over and ask Sister Feng because she had been busy with her wedding since returning from there.

"Don't worry, host. Everything is settled. Yulong and Heixiong Zhai are now branches of our Frost Snow Tower. As you requested, Long Yuan has been appointed as the head of these two branches."

"Alright, send word to Long Yuan immediately and have him bring Master Shen and his son from Plum Blossom Mountain Villa to Yu Long Zhai under the cover of night. Remember to tell Long Yuan to use the identity of the former deputy leader, and he must not reveal his current identity!"

Xiao Yu Ge knew that once Long Yuan's identity was exposed, those with ill intentions would follow the clues and eventually find her. Her current identity was already complicated; if people found out she was the young mistress of the Frost and Snow Pavilion, things would become even more troublesome. After all, the Frost and Snow Pavilion had made many enemies in the Jianghu.

"Yes!"ming here, she only had suspicions, but now, it seemed more certain, just lacking evidence. Of course, she also knew that with Wu Yue Gongzi’s intelligence, he wouldn’t hand over the evidence to her....
