After Bai Shu's departure, Qin Wujing's eyes turned cold and fierce. His jaw hardened, unconsciously breaking the brush he was holding.
...________________...
Xiao Chujiu went into his room, where he saw Qin Wujing was still reading. His eyes shifted towards the broken brush.
Xiao Chujiu wanted to ask, but he was too lazy.
Xiao Chujiu walked towards the dresser and stared at her own face in the copper mirror. Whether encouragement from nowhere or already a habit, Xiao Chujiu began to stylize indistinctly in front of the mirror. This made Qin Wujing's eyes lift and glanced at Xiao Chujiu.
"Stop styling is unclear. Hurry up here and massage Benwang's shoulders!," His tone was like an angry man.
Xiao Chujiu who heard this fell silent for a moment, then he turned towards Qin Wujing with a cynical look,"You think we've made up?, you haven't apologized to qie!."
Qin Wujing was stunned for a while, then he replied, "no one deserves to get sorry from Benwang!, not even the Crown Prince though. Yet you who are just an ordinary woman dare to order Benwang to apologize?."
Xiao Chujiu raised his left eyebrow, his eyes glaring towards Qin Wujing.
"Wangye, you need to correct your words!. Qie is the honorable Qin Wangfei, and qie is your rightful wife. Means qie is not an ordinary woman!," Reply Xiao Chujiu.
Qin Wujing looked at Xiao Chujiu with a complicated gaze. According to Qin Wujing, this woman was really very brave. This made Qin Wujing feel annoyed, but strangely he could do nothing but shut up. Sometimes Xiao Chujiu was very kind and obedient to her, but sometimes she also became an angry and dissident woman.
Qin Wujing clenched his hands silently, then he threw away his face and went back to reading the book. The atmosphere in the room felt heavy instantly. Xiao Chujiu felt asphyxiation.
What's with this guy!?, why is he so emotional?. As she remembered herself too she was fine before Xiao Chujiu met Mi mama. Was it because Qin Wujing already knew his secret?, but it was impossible. When he spoke to Mi mama earlier, there was no one else but them. What happened to this man!?.
Xiao Chujiu sighed and walked towards the large box that contained his items. He opened the box and picked up ten picture story books.
He and Qin Wujing, each read a book without speaking. The atmosphere of the room also still feels tense and hot until tonight.
Xiao Chujiu's activity came to a halt as Mi mama walked in and said, "Wangfei, Wangye. Dinner is ready. Big Master Xiao is waiting for the two of you to be honored in the family dining room."
Xiao Chujiu closed his book and walked towards the door, then his steps came to a halt due to Qin Wujing who still remained silent and read at the table.
Xiao Chujiu turned his head and said, "Wangye, you'll have dinner first," if Qin Wujing doesn't come to dinner together, then,then the three damned beings will think that he and Qin Wujing are fighting (although it is true).
Qin Wujing closed his book and walked towards Xiao Chujiu, indifferently he passed by Xiao Chujiu and walked out.
Xiao Chujiu looked at Qin Wujing's back with a lazy gaze, then immediately caught up with Qin Wujing quickly.
Upon arriving at the family dining room, Xiao Chujiu's eyes captured a portrait of a beautiful woman. There, Xiao Meng, was wearing a sky-blue colored outfit. Her hair was in a half bun and given a few cute butterfly hairpins.
Xiao Chujiu frowned silently. Will there be a big event tonight?, why does the woman dress so pretty?.
Then Xiao Chujiu's eyes shifted towards Su yiniang, his lips smiling when he saw that he was wearing bright red Hanfu. Only a Furen was allowed to wear such a bright red color, but this woman who was only of such bold status?. Xiao Chujiu smiled faintly, he will make Su Ching at the law!. Xiao Chujiu swore, as long as he was at Xiao Fu, he would continue to make the two women's lives suffer. Wu Mingxiang and Xiao Chujiu grudge, Wu Ruyi will reply with all her energy.
"Wangye, Chujiu, please sit down," Xiao He said, the old man smiled lightly.
Xiao Chujiu smiled sweetly and replied, "father is too polite, we are family."
Xiao Chujiu and Qin Wujing walked over to their table. Dinner began, but as he was busy chewing, Xiao Meng stood up and knelt in the middle of the room with tears in his eyes.
"Jiejie, Meimei knows Meimei's actions that were inappropriate this afternoon. Meimei felt guilty. Jiejie please forgive meimei this. Jiejie, if you don't want to forgive Meimei then Meimei will continue to kneel until you forgive Meimei."
Xiao Chujiu stared coldly at Xiao Meng. Although Xiao Meng apologized to him for crying Bombay like this, Xiao Chujiu still saw Xiao Meng sometimes sneer at Qin Wujing.
Qin Wujing only focused on his food, he did not care much about Xiao Meng.
Just as Xiao Chujiu was about to reply, Su yiniang suddenly stood up and knelt down with Xiao Meng in the middle of the room.
"Chujiu, please forgive Meng'er. Meng'er is young and unstable. Chujiu, you can't be stingy with your own saurfrom your own body can you?. Chujiu, if you can't forgive Meng'er for her outrageous deeds, please forgive Meng'er for Mother's sake. Mother has cared for you lovingly since childhood, please forgive Meng'er," Su yiniang stroked her own chest while crying.
The makeup of the two women's faces started to fall apart, Xiao Chujiu almost laughed loosely upon seeing their faces.
Xiao Chujiu smiled, this made Su yiniang and Xiao Meng startled inwardly. Xiao Chujiu's smile was frightening, even though it was a sweet smile.
"Su yiniang, if not wrong. The Phoenix hair pin you were wearing belonged to this Wangfei birth mother?," Xiao Chujiu asked with a cold gaze, but his mouth was still smiling.
Xiao He who heard Xiao Chujiu was more concerned about the hair pin than Meng'er and Su Ching who were kneeling towards him made Xiao He feel dissatisfied.
"Chujiu, is that hairpin more important than your kneeling sister and mother apologizing?" Xiao He asked. Both of his eyebrows fused together.
Xiao Chujiu shifted her gaze towards Xiao He upon hearing this. With a sharp look, Xiao Chujiu put his chopsticks back on the table tightly resulting in a 'No!' sound!.'
Qin Wujing who sensed Xiao Chujiu's changing feelings immediately stopped his eating activity and glanced towards Xiao Chujiu.
"Dad, you're my father. You should understand my feelings. Meimei snapped even insulting me, then he threw hot soup at me. If there was no Wanwan, perhaps Chujiu's face had been shattered. I was abandoned by my mother from the age of two. My mother is the son of Wu Gongfu, of course her marriage dowry will not be simple and small. But Chujiu now wonders, where is all of Mom's dowry?. Although when Mom died Chujiu was only two years old, but Chujiu had a pretty good memory," Xiao Chujiu's eyes shifted back towards Su yiniang, then he continued," The Phoenix hairpick that Su Yiniang wore was one of my mother's dowries. Mom used to wear that hairpick a few times, but when Chujiu grew up the hairpick went missing somewhere. And today Chujiu saw her back yet Su yiniang is using her?."
Su yiniang gritted his teeth in annoyance, when did Xiao Chujiu have such an eloquent tongue to fight against him?!. Xiao Chujiu used to obey all his words!.
"Su yiniang, can you explain about that hairpick?," Xiao Chujiu asked as there was no reply from the mouths of Su Ching and Xiao He.
Su yiniang stared coldly at Xiao Chujiu for a moment, then his lips smiled,"Chujiu, are you accusing Mother of stealing Wu Furen's dowry?. Chujiu, Mom bought this at Fu Gui Tang a few months ago. How did you know that Wu Furen also had hairpicks like this?."
Xiao He who heard Xiao Chujiu's words felt angry, "Chujiu, how can you say that to your mother?," Xiao He deliberately did not raise the volume of his voice too much out of fear for Qin Wujing's presence.
Su yiniang who was defended by Xiao He felt happy, as soon as he cried again,"Laoye, you don't need to feel angry with Chujiu. Chujiu, are you starting to hate your mother who took care of you?. Chujiu, my heart is very sick!."
Qin Wujing looked at Su yiniang coldly, then his gaze shifted towards Xiao He.
"I didn't know that the Xiao family had different family rules than other families," Qin Wujing said, the man finally spoke after a long silence.
Xiao He who heard Qin Wujing's remark fused his brow in confusion. He politely asked, "this old man is too stupid to understand Duke Qin's intentions. What did Duke Qin mean?."
"A Yiniang cannot be called Mother by the son of the legitimate Wife. How could the Xiao family not know of a small rule like this?," replied Qin Wujing.
Xiao He was silent for a moment, he did not even pay much attention to this.
"And again. A Yiniang dared to wear such bright clothes?, or else Benwang was only a Furen who was allowed to wear such bright clothes. It seems like the Xiao family is completely different from other noble families," Qin Wujing continued.
Xiao Chujiu smiled at Qin Wujing to say thank you, but the man just kept quiet and did not reply to anything.
Xiao Chujiu opened his mouth again, "although the hair skewer that Su yiniang bought was indeed from Fu Gui Tang, but you should not buy one that contained Phoenix carvings. Su yiniang, if this news comes out, this Wangfei is afraid that the people will taste Dad can not discipline his concubines."
As soon as Xiao He who heard Xiao Chujiu spoke like that, he immediately felt worried. If the righteous would taste her like that, then she was worried that her status as Prime Minister would be a little unstable.
"Ching'er, you really don't know the rules and cross the line!. Immediately go to the ancestral hall and copy the Xiao family manual by 50 pieces!," Xiao He said.
Xiao Chujiu stared coldly at Xiao He. This man had always displayed the appearance that he was defending Xiao Chujiu, but in fact he was only willing to protect the post and his beloved Wife. In a normal family, if there is a concubine who has violated rules like this, the concubine is already in the law very heavily. Kneeling and copying the Family Handbook with just 50 sheets was not a severe punishment!.
Xiao Meng who heard his heartfelt father punish her Mother like this felt angry. Xiao Meng forgot his acting and immediately stood up. His right index finger pointed at Xiao Chujiu's face furiously.
"Chujiu!, Mother has taken care of you until you become a Qin Wangfei like this!, yet you even reply to Mother like this!?. Do you deserve to be Qin Wangfei, I as the Xiao family feel ashamed to have such a disobedient sister as you!."
Qin Wujing was unhappy with Xiao Meng's remark. It was not Xiao Chujiu who was wrong, but Su yiniang was wrong. Qin Wujing kicked the table and made one bean jump up. Qin Wujing nimbly touched the beans until they hit Xiao Meng's stomach.
Although only the beans were thrown Qin Wujing, but when it hit Xiao Meng's stomach, it made itself vomit a mouthful of blood.
Su yiniang who saw Xiao Meng spewing blood was surprised instead of playing, he immediately pulled Xiao Meng into his embrace and cried.
"Wangye!, why did you do this to my daughter!?," Tangier Su Ching broke out.
Xiao He who saw Qin Wujing's treatment of his second child felt angry, in a displeased tone he said, "Wangye, I know my family is a small family in your eyes. But you shouldn't treat my daughter like this. Xiao Meng is still the younger brother of your Wangfei."
Qin Wujing smiled obliquely, this made their backs tense up. In a displeased tone like Xiao He, Qin Wujing retorted, "what kind of brother would dare to yell at his elder brother and say that Xiao Chujiu is unfit to be my Wangfei?. She was just an ordinary young lady, not even born from the stomach of a legitimate wife. Yet dare to yell and scorn my Wangfei?. If Xiao Chujiu does not deserve to be my Wangfei, then who is worthy?, he himself?. Dream!, I was never interested in marrying a concubine's daughter!. Such a low status, what is it worth to be my Wangfei?."
Xiao Meng's heart was shattered upon hearing Qin Wujing's sharp words. Xiao Chujiu smiled and laughed inwardly. Qin Wujing's mouth was really spicy and sharp. If he could shout now he would shout mimicking the voice of one of the famous Online Games,"Savage!!!."
"Prime Minister Xiao, you must truly discipline your family!. Benwang said like this for the good of your own family and my Wangfei. My Wangfei is truly welcome here, me and the Emperor can willingly help you to discipline the Xiao family!," Qin Wujing continued.
Xiao He who saw Qin Wujing was really angry immediately knelt down, "Wangye, please forgive this old man who can't take care of the family!. This old man promised, things like this will never happen again!."
Xiao Chujiu smiled faintly, although he was happy to see Xiao He like this, yet Xiao Chujiu still said, "Wangye, please forgive my father. My father knows, please forgive him."
Xiao He who heard Xiao Chujiu apologize on behalf of himself felt touched. She immediately felt grateful in her heart for having a child like Xiao Chujiu.
Xiao Chujiu deliberately apologized to Xiao He for making Su Yiniang, Xiao Meng, and Xiao He's relationship tenuous. Right now Xiao Chujiu was like a filial son who was apologizing to Xiao He to Qin Wujing, this would upset Xiao Meng's heart. Xiao Meng was a human who had a fox nature and easily ignited emotions. If Xiao Meng now snapped at him and acted rudely to him, Xiao He would automatically feel angry at Xiao Meng for assuming Xiao Meng was unfilial to his older sister.
And sure enough, as Xiao Chujiu was counting down in his heart, Xiao Meng immediately burst into rage.
"Xiao Chujiu, you really are a fox!, you are a petty woman!," Then Xiao Meng's eyes shifted towards Qin Wujing,"Wangye, this woman is really evil and inappropriate for you!. Xiao Chujiu was-!," Before Xiao Meng could finish his sentence, Xiao He immediately slapped his beloved daughter's cheek forcefully.
Pa!
The sound of slaps sounded loud.
Xiao He was forced to do this to protect Xiao Meng himself. Right now his second son had actually crossed the line. Couldn't he be aware that Qin Wangye is currently on Xiao Chujiu's side?, If Xiao Meng continues to talk, Xiao He is worried that his beloved daughter is unable to see the sun tomorrow.
Plus the current Xiao Chujiu was still kindly pleading to Qin Wujing to forgive himself, should Xiao Meng behave well to Xiao Chujiu now!. Xiao He for the first time felt dissatisfied with Xiao Meng's behavior.
"You're a disrespectful boy!. Someone, quickly bring Su yiniang and Er Xiaojie to the ancestral hall!. For Er Xiaojie, kneeling inside the ancestral hall until Su yiniang had written the family manual!," Xiao He said.
Su yiniang and Xiao Meng gritted their teeth in annoyance. Just for Xiao Chujiu, Xiao He would willingly punish them like this!?.
When Xiao Meng and Su Yiniang had been taken away, Qin Wujing stood up and followed Xiao Chujiu from behind.
"The Xiao family is really messed up, Benwang's appetite has gone completely!," Qin Wujing said as he stepped out.
Xiao Chujiu bowed respectfully before leaving so that Xiao He would really consider his dutiful son, so that his thoughts about Xiao Meng would get uglier.
"Dad, please don't worry about this. Chujiu will persuade Wangye until her anger subsides. Dad, you have to maintain your health to stay strong leading the court tomorrow, Chujiu said."
Xiao Chujiu immediately sprinted a little following Qin Wujing, as he exited he smiled full of satisfaction at his victory this time.
