Chapter 202
Xiao Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, but she couldn't tell whether it was a reminder or a reprimand. She was about to speak, when Mrs. Xu raised her hand: "Forget it, they came here to find trouble with their hearts, and bones can be picked out of eggs. You wear it It's useless, let's go." She got up and stretched out her hand to Xiao Mingzhu.

Xiao Mingzhu didn't react, Shang Nanny pushed her lightly, and then she realized that grandma asked herself to help her.She didn't think much about it, she quickly stepped forward and stretched out her hand to support Mrs. Xu's arm, and accompanied them to the front hall silently.

When she arrived at the entrance of the hall, she saw four strangers sitting in the hall. There were three old men with white hair and beards. The one sitting on the upper seat had double triangular eyes. Very similar middle-aged people.

When the people in the hall heard the voice outside the door, they all raised their heads and looked over. When they saw Mrs. Xu, they stood up reluctantly with triangular eyes and said hello: "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still so energetic." The rest of the people He also stood up with the old man and greeted Mrs. Xu.

Xiao Mingzhu probably figured out the identities of these people. The old man with triangular eyes is the current head of the Xiao family, and the middle-aged man who looks a bit like his father is Guangyang Hou. The other two are probably the elders of the clan.She has been back to Beijing for almost half a year, but she has never seen them. Now that her father is missing, they think it is profitable, so they rushed to the door like leeches.

Mrs. Xu just nodded slightly, then walked to the main seat and sat down, while Xiao Mingzhu stood directly beside her.

The eyes of those people fell on Xiao Mingzhu from the moment she entered the hall, and there were greed, calculation, and complex resentment in their eyes.Xiao Mingzhu squinted her eyes in dissatisfaction, and stared back fiercely. Her reaction seemed to have irritated those people.

Guangyang Hou looked at Xiao Mingzhu, and tried his best to show a gentle and benevolent smile, but unfortunately, his smile didn't reach his eyes, it was full of sophistication.He smiled and asked, "Is this Seventh Sister?"

Xiao Mingzhu gave them a blessing, then stood back to her original place without saying a word.

Xiao Mingzhu's actions really pleased Mrs. Xu, she stretched out her hand to pull Xiao Mingzhu to her side, and said pointingly: "Yes, she is Sister Ming."

However, Xiao Mingzhu's actions made the old patriarch and his party very dissatisfied. The old patriarch frowned dissatisfiedly, pointed at Xiao Mingzhu and said, "What's the matter? Wynn's life and death are uncertain at the moment, but he is a man and a child, but he is dressed in colorful clothes. Sister-in-law, you should take care of yourself." Teach, teach, so as not to lose face to my Xiao family."

It's a good move to strike first.

It's a pity that she won't take this down.

Xiao Mingzhu snorted twice: "Yesterday, Eunuch Cheng came over and said that Xin'an's latest battle report said that my father's whereabouts were temporarily unknown after he broke through. Why did he reach the mouth of the old patriarch? It's like receiving the news that my father is dead." Like? Could it be that the old patriarch's news is better than the emperor's? Nanny Shang, take my sign and go to the palace gate to ask Eunuch Cheng if there is a new battle report from Xin'an." On the tongue, she Not very powerful, but she knows how to show her advantages, if not threatening.

When the old patriarch and Hou Guangyang heard her mentioning Eunuch Cheng, their expressions changed.Especially the anger of the old patriarch seemed to have been poked a hole, and quickly disappeared.

Who is Eunuch Cheng, but the emperor's number one confidant, what he said was almost hinted by the emperor.This Xiao Mingzhu seems to be very familiar with Cheng Gonggong, it can be seen that the rumors outside are not false, the emperor still regards Xiao Mingzhu differently.

It's just... after the incident with the Geng family, if the emperor values ​​her again, so what, it's almost impossible for a woman who has divorced to become the prince's official concubine.Even if Xiao Huaien has something good or bad, the emperor looked at Xiao Huaien's achievements, at most he would give her the position of prince and side concubine.

What a pity, what a pity...

But it's best not to hurt her too much.

Marrying into a royal family is no different than marrying into an ordinary family. Who knows where she will go in the future...

Xiao Mingzhu didn't know what was going on in their minds, but she saw all the changes in their expressions. She really was a tiger, and she would leak if she poked her.

Mrs. Xu snorted, glanced at the old patriarch unceremoniously, and said: "Then I don't know what the patriarch meant, how to understand his words correctly, so that sister Ming will wear hemp and filial piety for Wynn from now on?"

The old patriarch turned dark, Guangyang Hou hurriedly stopped him, and said loudly: "Auntie, the second cousin didn't mean that, he just cared too much about Wynn. He saw the seventh sister's clothes, I feel uncomfortable, so I just said a few more words, don't think too much." After that, he turned his head to the old patriarch and said, "Second cousin, isn't it? At present, the whereabouts of the fourth brother are unknown, especially the eldest aunt is in a bad mood. Be more considerate of her."

The old patriarch had no choice but to borrow the donkey from the slope, humming authentically: "Sister-in-law, we are also kind."

"You don't have to worry about it." Mrs. Xu said bluntly: "When Wynn opened the mansion, we separated from the Hou's mansion. Although we are the big house, we don't care about the family land or the affairs of the family. , what should be taken back by the family has already been taken back, and now the general's mansion, except for my dowry, is the family property earned by Wynn himself, why, are you thinking about it?" These words are harsh enough , didn't even save any face with them.

The old patriarch couldn't hold back his anger. He stood up and pointed at Mrs. Xu and said, "Sister-in-law, this is wrong. Although Wynn and the general's family have separated, he is also from the Xiao family. If it wasn't for the sake of the family members , Do you think I'm willing to take care of you? This is not when you are acting on your own will. No matter how good sister Ming is, it's a pity that she is not a man. If there is something wrong with Wynn... "

I don't know which sentence really poked Mrs. Xu's lungs, she immediately turned dark and said coldly: "What if there is an event?"

The old patriarch made it clear that he came to the door to find trouble, and he spoke directly: "Wynn is the only male in our Xiao's family's house, what will happen to him, my sister-in-law must know it well, I don't need to remind you. "

Mrs. Xu stared at the old patriarch, as if she wanted to gnaw off his flesh and blood, with strong resentment in her eyes.

What if there is something wrong with Wynn, I'm afraid that what happened decades ago will be repeated.

At that time, she had the child in her belly as a bargaining chip, and was forced to have no way out. She discarded the title of the old marquis and the family business of the big house, and finally saved Wynn under the protection of her natal family.It's also Wynn who strives for his own strength, forcibly resists the repeated suppression from the clan, and breaks through the world by himself, which is what makes him what he is today.

But right now...

Sister Ming is not a boy!
If Wynn has something good or bad, everything in front of him will be gone.
