It took Tang Xijing a long while to recover from his shock. He frowned and scolded loudly: "What's going on?! Lin, you are so bold!"

Long black hair is very important for women. Shaving the head means that one is going to become a nun!

If this gets out, not only will the third daughter herself not be able to get married, all the unmarried daughters in the mansion will be implicated. Even if they are lucky enough to get married, they will not be able to hold their heads up in their husband's family.

Lin immediately knelt down, tears streaming down her face: "General! Wuuuuuu... My Yue'er's life is so miserable! Wuuuuu..."

Tang Xiyue also knelt down hurriedly, shedding tears pitifully.

Tang Xijing was so overwhelmed by the two of them crying that he felt very depressed.

"What the hell is going on?!" I haven't been home for a few years, and when I got back, the house was in a mess!

Tang Xiyue knelt in front of the general and cried, pulling his robe: "Daddy, you have to make the decision for me! My daughter just slept for a while, and her hair was shaved when she woke up in the morning. Wuwuwu... What should I do in the future! Daddy..."

Tang Xijing was shocked: "How could this be? The security in the capital is strict, how could someone dare to be so rampant!"

Lin cried bitterly: "General, I don't know who has a grudge against us to do such a heartless thing!"

Tang Xiyue also cried and cursed: "This man will never have a good death! Daddy, you have to make the decision for me!"

Tang Xiluo snorted coldly. How dare you scold me in front of me? Then don't blame me for going all out.

She took a few steps forward and said, "Dad, Mother Lin has been responsible for all the affairs of the mansion all these years. I'm afraid she is not strong enough. Why don't we let Mother Lin take a good rest? Aren't there two concubines at home? Let them help Mother Lin share some of the burden."

Lin was terrified. Was this bitch trying to weaken her power in the mansion?

Tang Xijing started to think upon hearing this. The mansion was in a mess right now and it was indeed difficult for one person to manage it. How about having multiple people manage it?

Lin said quickly: "General, how can this be possible? After all, the two sisters are concubines. If this gets out, won't people laugh at us?"

Tang Xiluo raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Mother Lin is looking down on my aunt? Don't forget that you are also descended from my aunt."

Lin choked up: "I!..."

Tang Xijing interrupted their conversation: "Alright! I have my own considerations on this matter."

Tang Xiyue knelt forward and said, "Daddy...what about me?"

Tang Xijing had a headache: "Don't go out these days, stay in the mansion and don't let anyone know about this."

Tang Xiluo continued to give advice: "Dad, I'm afraid this is not appropriate."

Seeing that she was about to speak again, Lin and Tang Xiyue were both panicked. If she opened her mouth, it would definitely be something bad!

Lin interrupted sternly: "Shut up! How can a junior interrupt when an elder is talking?!"

Tang Xiluo immediately felt wronged, blinking his big eyes and looking at his cheap father: "Isn't the third sister also a junior? Besides, I just want to share Daddy's worries!"

Looking at a face that looked similar to his original wife, Tang Xijing felt heartbroken no matter how he looked at it. He couldn't bear to see this face looking aggrieved.

"No problem, go ahead."

Tang Xiluo raised his eyebrows and gave Lin's mother a provocative smile.

"Normally, the noble ladies would visit each other to recite poems and drink tea. If one day she accidentally saw the third sister... why not send her to a manor not far from the capital? Firstly, the third sister can rest and grow her hair, and secondly, we don't have to worry about being discovered one day."

Lin was so angry that she was shaking all over: "You! How could you have the heart to say that you wanted your third sister to leave Beijing?!"

Tang Xiyue was also shocked. If she left Beijing and went to the manor, how long would it take for her to come back? She had her hair shaved off for more than ten years. How easy would it be to grow it back?

Tang Xiluo acted selfless: "Mother Lin, I am just as reluctant to part with my third sister as you are, but there are still four other sisters in the mansion who have not married yet. I can't ignore the other sisters just because of my third sister!"

She looked at her stepfather again: "Daddy, my elder sister is also old enough to get married. It won't be long before I too get married. Besides, there are still my fourth and fifth sisters in the mansion."

Tang Xiyue was really scared at this moment. She regretted going against Tang Xiluo. Why did she become so bold and sharp-tongued? She and her mother were careless and underestimated this second sister.

"Daddy, please don't send me away. I can't bear to leave you and mother. Wuuwuwuwu... I... I found a wig. I can wear a wig at any time!"

She was desperate and picked up the wig that had fallen to the ground and held it up.

Mrs. Lin was also anxious: "Yes! General, look, how realistic is this wig? My daughter is weak and sickly, and she was raised in pampering. She can't bear that kind of hardship!"

Tang Xijing looked at the wigs raised by the mother and daughter, and always felt that they were somewhat familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.

Just as he was thinking, the stable boy ran in in a panic and knelt down.

"General, it's bad. I woke up from a sleepless night and your blood-thirsty warhorse..."

Tang Xijing was anxious: "What's wrong with it? Tell me quickly!"

The servant trembled and said, "The hair on my horse's tail has been shaved off... General, please spare me! General, please spare me!"

Tang Xijing staggered back a few steps: "How could this happen? Who did it? This general will cut him into pieces!"

Tang Xiluo quickly walked over to support Tang Xijing: "Daddy, don't get angry and get yourself hurt."

Tang Xijing's eyes were red with anger. This warhorse had accompanied him in guarding the border for many years. It was no longer an ordinary horse. It had accompanied him in making great military achievements. It understood human nature and only recognized itself as its master...

It is his comrade-in-arms. If it were a person, the two of them would definitely be close friends who could talk about anything.

Suddenly, Tang Xijing's gaze fell on the wig, and his eyes were so sharp that they were frightening.

Lin had a vague guess as to what was going on. His heart instantly turned cold and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Tang Xiyue swallowed and silently put down the wig she had raised. Now she could no longer hide it even if she wanted to.

The servant followed his line of sight and said, "This is not horsetail hair..." His voice gradually became smaller and he shrank his neck in fear.

Tang Xijing closed his eyes and sighed as if he had made up his mind: "Come here! Send Miss San to the mountain villa outside the capital to cultivate her body and mind, and copy scriptures and worship Buddha for the Tangxi family."

"Call the other two concubines to help with the housework. Lin is not feeling well, so go back to the yard and rest for a while. You are not allowed to leave the yard without my permission!"

Lin fell to the ground, completely dejected.

Tang Xiyue was taken away, still begging for mercy.

Tang Xiluo was in a good mood: "Mother Lin, the ground is cold, get up quickly!"

Lin suddenly looked at her with hatred: "It's you, right? You arranged all this, didn't you?!"

Tang Xiluo was terrified: "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? Your daughter doesn't understand~"

Tang Xijing frowned and said, "Look at what you look like! As a mother, you actually framed your daughter? Go back to your room and reflect on yourself!"

Lin cried and shouted: "General! I am innocent, we are all framed! You have to help me!"

Tang Xijing said sullenly: "I will find out who shaved my hair, and I will also find out who shaved my warhorse's tail!"

After Lin was taken away, the hall suddenly returned to a terrifying silence.

Not to mention the two little concubines were frightened, even Tang Xirou, who was always stable and composed, was frightened by these series of events.

Tang Xirou glanced at her second sister who was supporting her father and looked harmless and innocent at the moment. She felt her scalp tingling and her back was wet with cold sweat.

Each and every plan was just right, leading Lin's mother and daughter to such a point step by step. It was simply terrifying.

Tang Xijing raised his hand to support his forehead and glanced at his second daughter who was well-behaved and sensible beside him. He couldn't help but wonder, is the arrogant and domineering person rumored by the outside world his own second daughter?

Tang Xiluo raised a harmless smile: "Daddy, please don't get angry and get yourself sick."

Tang Xijing sighed slightly: "Good children, I have wronged you all these years. It is Daddy's fault."

"Someone, come here! Search every corner of the house carefully! Don't miss any clues."

At this time, Tang Xiluo looked innocently curious: "Dad's war ponytail was shaved yesterday? But Mother Lin and Third Sister were both asleep last night, so how did they get the wig?"

Tang Xijing frowned and said, "Investigate all the maids and servants in Lin's and the Third Miss's courtyards one by one! Don't let any of them go!"

"Yes!"
