Minister Zhou seemed to still feel unsatisfied, so he just punched and kicked him for a while, and only stopped when he was tired. Zhou Xiaoshan, who had been begging for mercy in the beginning, now could only lie on the ground gasping for breath.

"Master, please stop hitting me."

Mrs. Zhou finally dared to speak, and she walked forward crying and helped Zhou Xiaoshan up.

Minister Zhou: Even if I wanted to fight, I don’t have the strength!

"Humph, it's all because of your daily habits!"

Minister Zhou said angrily.

Mrs. Zhou: “?”

Master, don't you feel guilty when you say this? Although people say that loving mothers often spoil their children, but... I don't deserve the title of loving mother!

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault, Master, please calm down!"

Mrs. Zhou glanced at him, then looked at her son distressedly, "Son, how come you only grow older year after year but not smarter?"

Mrs. Zhou was crying while wiping the blood from the corner of Zhou Xiaoshan's mouth.

The heartache in his eyes is real, and the disappointment in his tone is not fake!

"Mother~"

Zhou Xiaoshan called out weakly.

"Well, do you know you are wrong?"

Mrs. Zhou had already calmed down and asked calmly.

"Mother, I just wanted to buy a gift that my sister liked, but Xiao Qianyi didn't even give me face. I was so angry that I took action."

Zhou Xiaoshan explained.

Mrs. Zhou shook her head when she heard this and raised her hand to gently pinch Zhou Xiaoshan's cheek.

"Ah~ it hurts! Ah......"

Zhou Xiaoshan immediately let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered, and Shangshu Zhou, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

"Son, mother hasn't used any strength yet, why are you screaming?"

Mrs. Zhou began to feel disgusted again.

Zhou Xiaoshan: You didn't use much force, but didn't you see that your son's face had turned into an eggplant? You still pinched him!

"I'm not saying anything to you, mother. You can fight, but you have to be reasonable!"

Mrs. Zhou patiently explained the situation to him, "Also, if you cause trouble, do you have to ask for help from others?"

"Your father is just a minister. It's OK for you to show off with your friends, but who in the Xiao family can you afford to offend?"

Mrs. Zhou questioned.

Minister Zhou: I am a minister after all, how can I be so unbearable?

Zhou Xiaoshan was a little unconvinced. Just as he was about to open his mouth to argue, Mrs. Zhou interrupted him and said, "Are you trying to say that your sister is Concubine Li?"

Mrs. Zhou glanced at him again, "Brainless!"

With a look of disdain again, "Your sister is the emperor's concubine, and my sister is your sister's aunt!"

Zhou Xiaoshan: “…”

"Why are you still not convinced?"

Mrs. Zhou stood up immediately, and Zhou Xiaoshan suddenly lost his support and fell to the ground again.

"Okay, just reflect on yourself here!" Mrs. Zhou said and turned around, "By the way, Master, since you have done something wrong, you should come and apologize in person. After all, the Regent has sent someone to personally inform you."

Then he left without looking back.

Minister Zhou looked at his son lying on the ground, then looked at Madam Zhou's back as she left, "If you're still alive, get up!"

Fortunately, his wife reminded him that if he didn't show some sincerity, he would have a hard time explaining to the Regent.

"Butler, go to the storehouse and prepare some generous gifts."

Minister Zhou gave the order immediately.

Zhou Xiaoshan almost vomited blood after hearing this. He was obviously the one who suffered in the end, but he still had to go to the door to apologize and give gifts...

Zhou Xiaoshan was very depressed. He didn't understand why he was treated like this when he just wanted to buy a gift for his sister.

......

On the other side, Xiao Qiancong was also taught a lesson as soon as he returned to the mansion.

"Don't you know that you are going to get married in two days? How can you act so foolishly?"

Xiao Zhenhe was so angry that he walked forward and started to accuse him.

"Okay, stop talking for now."

Yan stepped forward and pulled the man back, "Is Cong'er injured anywhere?"

She knew her son would never quarrel with others for no reason.

"Don't worry, mother. I'm fine."

Xiao Qiancong said softly.

"Well, tell me, what's going on?"

General Xiao also asked angrily.

Xiao Qiancong quickly recounted the whole story.

"It's just too much!"

General Xiao was so angry that he slapped the table heavily, "What's the difference between this and bandits!"

"Cong'er did the right thing. We, the sons of the Xiao family, will not tolerate such cowardice!"

After listening to his son's words, Xiao Zhenhe thought for a moment and then said, "But the other party is the son of a court official after all, so we can't make a big deal out of it. How about this, I will go to Zhou's house with you tomorrow, pay a visit, and settle this matter."

"Shut up!"

General Xiao scolded, "This is not Cong'er's fault. They should be the ones to apologize!"

"Master, Minister Zhou is here to visit you."

As soon as General Xiao finished speaking, Steward Lin came hurriedly to report.

General Xiao: You’ve come just in time!

After a while, Shangshu Zhou came to the front hall, followed by the limping Zhou Xiaoshan, and behind them was a pair of servants, holding brocade boxes of various sizes in their arms.

"This junior has met General Xiao."

As soon as Minister Zhou entered the room, he bowed and greeted with a smile. If you didn’t know, you would think they had a very close relationship!

General Xiao: This kid must have taken the wrong medicine!

"Big Brother Xiao, Second Brother Xiao."

Minister Zhou bowed to Xiao Zhenhai and Xiao Zhenhe again.

Xiao Zhenhai: Who is your elder brother!

Xiao Zhenhe: What is this old guy up to?

"Haha, I wonder why Minister Zhou came here today?"

As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you. Xiao Zhenhe also asked politely.

"Oh, I am ashamed to say that it is all my fault for not teaching my son well!"

Minister Zhou said helplessly, "What are you still doing there, little brat? Come here quickly!" Then he turned around and shouted at Zhou Xiaoshan.

Only then did everyone see Zhou Xiaoshan's appearance clearly. He looked so miserable!

They all looked at Xiao Qiancong with some confusion. Did you hit him?

Xiao Qiancong: “?”

How should I answer this? It seems like he hit me, but it also seems like he didn't hit me!

"What's this, Minister Zhou?"

Xiao Zhenhe asked in a puzzled manner.

"Second Brother Xiao, my son and my nephew Xiao had some unpleasantness today because of some trivial matters. I brought him here specially to apologize to my nephew."

Minister Zhou said politely.

"Hey~, it's normal for young people to fight and play around. Minister Zhou doesn't need to take it so seriously."

Xiao Zhenhe waved his hand, looked at his son, then looked at Zhou Xiaoshan, who could barely stand and had no normal color on his face, and immediately said.

He was a little angry before, but when he saw the other person's son being beaten like this, he didn't know what to say.

"Haha... ahem, nephew Zhou, let's not get involved in the affairs of young people like him."

General Xiao also said generously.
