Chapter 151: A Bunch of Squandering Thing
Translator: 549690339
Emperor Yu Heng had always been wary of the royal family. King Jingling had been a thorn in his side when he was alive, but he had been unable to move because of King Jingling’s meritorious service. Later on, the suspicion between the monarch and his subjects became more and more serious, and in the end, they still rebelled…
Now that he was dead, the stone that had been weighing on Emperor Yu Heng’s heart for a long time was gone. He was so happy that he almost danced with joy.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he was worshiping an ancestor, it would be inappropriate for him to be happy. He would have sung a song in public.
Xiao Yun was his trusted general and a general who always won. He didn’t mind giving him face. The imperial edict was passed down. It took an hour just to recite his meritorious deeds. Even if Xiao Yun wanted to glorify his family, he felt that his face was very hot. The Emperor was not reserved when he praised people.
Emperor Yu Heng not only went out of the city to welcome him personally, he even brought Xiao Yun and the soldiers along the streets of the Imperial City, receiving the cheers and love of the people.
The wine was scattered for half a day. The sound of gongs and drums in Jiankang City was extremely lively.
“What’s there to celebrate when we fight against each other?” Chief Justice Xi followed behind the Emperor and shook his head.
What is there to celebrate?
Emperor Yu Heng clearly felt that there was something to celebrate. Not only did he personally welcome them, but he also held a banquet in Taiji Palace to celebrate the victory with the officials. By the time Xiao Yun returned to the Xiao Manor, it was already late at night. He had no recollection of how he returned, and was completely drunk.
The next day, before he could even sober up, the invitations from various families had already arrived like snowflakes. In order to prevent her own master from hearing something wrong from the mouths of others and making a fool of himself, Madam Xie told her about the situation in the family in the past few months.
So much so that after listening to the whole process, Xiao Sikong’s mind became blank, as if a thousand crows were clamoring above his head.
He must have woken up in the wrong way. How could the eldest son be dismissed from office?
Why would her daughter cause a ruckus in Jiankang City, beat up the young master of an aristocratic family, and even break off the engagement with the Yuan family?
.. Xiao Lang was still considered normal, just like before.
The little girl that the princess of the second branch gave birth to stole our son-in-law.
F * ck, even a ghost story wouldn’t dare to be made up like this.
“Stop!” Xiao Sikong shouted loudly, frightened, Madam Xie was trembling, even the maids in the yard were frightened, quivered, one after another put down the work at hand, and later found that it was not said, they were busy, they were busy, they were busy.
“Where’s Xiao Baoxin? Call her over. She’s rebelling!”
Xiao Yun was forty-six years old this year, but he had been practicing martial arts for many years. He looked very strong and had strong facial features. He had been in the military for many years, and his voice was like a loud bell. Madam Xie still remembered that she had just married into the Xiao residence. When she heard one or two intimate words from him, all the maids and old women in the room heard it and surrounded the scene.
Now they had been married for sixteen years, but they were still so impatient.
“Actually, Bao Xin is not to be blamed. That is understandable. Don’t be agitated…” Madam Xie quickly comforted him and asked the maid to fetch water for Sikong Xiao to wash up. Before the food was served, Sikong Xiao had already changed his clothes and left the room. He was in a hurry and was obviously going to settle scores with his daughter.
Madam Xie was usually not afraid, but now that Sikong Xiao was half-drunk, she was really afraid that she would lose control of her temper if she kept nagging.
He hurriedly chased after him. Just as he left the room, he saw Sikong Xiao and Xiao Baoxin, who had come to pay his respects, fighting. The jaws of everyone in the courtyard dropped.
No one dared to stop him, and no one had the time to do so.
Madam Xie was so anxious that she was pacing around. On the contrary, Xiao Baoshu, who came to pay his respects, was staring straight at her. He clapped his hands and exclaimed,” Good!” If another bowl was placed at the side, it seemed that he would tip her with three melons or two dates.
No matter how good Xiao Baoxin’s kung fu was, he was just an outstanding one among women. He had no actual combat experience and relied on fighting to get it. He was naturally incomparable to Sikong Xiao, who had been soaked in silver on the battlefield and crawled out of the pile of bones.
Sikong Xiao’s attacks were fierce, but he didn’t show any mercy. After a dozen moves, Xiao Baoxin was unable to do anything. He stepped back and called out ‘father’. The other party didn’t want to fight.
“Sister, don’t be a coward. Go!” Xiao Baoshu was not satisfied with watching and was still urging the battle.
Xiao Baoshan held his family’s mouth, his left hand holding his wife, his right hand holding his daughter. His wife was even carrying a little one in her arms. The whole family came to pay their respects to Sikong Xiao. Luckily, they were not slapped by Sikong Xiao’s punches.
“Father…”
Before Xiao Baoshan could finish his sentence, Sikong Xiao snorted coldly. His eyes swept from Xiao Baoshan to Xiao Baoshu, Xiao Baoxin, and then to Madam Xie.
“A bunch of prodigals. I’m risking my life outside, and you’re also risking your life at home. You’re trying your best to drag me down.”
Before he could pay his respects, he had already been scolded one after another. Sikong Xiao’s appetite was not affected at all. He ate four bowls of rice with a few ‘squandering playthings’ and had not finished scolding.
Silently eating and sleeping didn’t count for Sikong Xiao. When he wanted to say something, nothing could stop him.
Just thinking about it made his liver ache. The reputation he had accumulated for a lifetime had been squandered away by these fellows in less than half a year. He wondered why some people at the banquet looked at him strangely. He thought that he had drunk too much and looked at them as if they were staring at him, but in the end… It really was, right?
“Father, have you finished eating?”
In the entire room, only Xiao Baoxin dared to speak at this time.
Sikong Xiao was annoyed again.” What’s the matter, Lady Xiao?””
Xiao Baoxin smiled.” I’m just thinking of something to tell Father. If Father has finished eating, can he have a few words with me alone?””
Before Sikong Xiao could respond, the rest of the people in the room nodded.
Hurry up, you two can talk behind closed doors. Let them go. They’re lucky that they didn’t choke to death after being scolded for eating.
“Have you all finished eating? After eating, ask the servants to leave. At night, our family will have a lively time.”Madam Xie gave her a look, and the whole family dispersed in a hubbub. Xiao Baoshan was still dissatisfied with his daughter’s slow walking, so he staggered over and ran away with her.
For a moment, only Sikong Xiao and Xiao Baoxin were left in the room. Madam Xie had already disappeared.
Let these two people fight each other.
“.. Father, hold my hand.” Xiao Baoxin took the initiative to step forward and hand it over to Sikong Xiao.
Sikong Xiao was dumbfounded.” What’s wrong? Father didn’t control his strength just now and hurt your hand?””
Xiao Baoxin was speechless.
Father, can’t you be more thoughtful in your heart for her reference?
The father and daughter stared at each other.
‘What does my daughter mean by this?’
“Or are you afraid of me?”
‘.. Are you bored?
“Father, I’m not afraid of you, nor am 1 free to let Father hold my hand. It’s because 1 have a secret.”Xiao Baoxin was frank, his eyes glistening like autumn water.
“I can hear people’s inner voices through skin contact..”
