The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

"Okay, you are tired too. Go back and rest for a few days. Xiao Yu is not a child anymore. You don't have to worry about him. It's time for him to gain some experience." Hearing what Madam Xiao said, Master Xiao became more determined to train Xiao Yu.

If it were another family, Xiao Yu would have been successful in his career and had many children at his age.

Previously, due to poor health, he had wasted more than ten years. Now that Xiao Yu's health has improved, his father feels that he can't delay any longer.

"Don't worry, mother. I am much better now. I can't waste my time. It's time to help father share some of the burden."

Xiao Yu agreed, and Xiao's father nodded and smiled with satisfaction. The matter was then settled, and Madam Xiao could no longer find excuses to stop it.

"Yes, I always tend to forget Yuer's age..." Finally, under the gaze of Xiao's father, Mrs. Xiao had to force a smile and nodded reluctantly.

Her Qi'er, who had not yet taken over the family business, was snatched away by this sickly boy.

What's more, verifying the accounts was her job, and if it was taken away from her, it would be difficult for Qi'er to get his hands on the money for private use in the future.

Mrs. Xiao only hated the fake Taoist priest for deceiving her and running away with the money. However, because she was in awe of ghosts and gods, she took a long time to realize that she had been deceived by the bastard only after she lost contact with the old Taoist priest.

Later, she sent people to investigate at the home of the old man who sold his daughter, but the servant came back and said frankly that the farmer had already moved out of the farmhouse and their whereabouts were unknown.

(In fact, their son was going to school, and because they felt guilty about selling their daughter and continuing to live in the farmhouse, the old man and his wife took the money and moved to a place near the school. Because they lived in a remote place with few neighbors, the servants were unable to find out where they were.)

This situation seems more like a trick commonly used by some swindlers!

The money she paid to the Taoist priest, as well as the money she paid to the Yin woman she found according to the Taoist priest's request, was enough for her to make up for nearly five months.

It just went down the drain without causing any waves, but could it be that it actually helped Xiao Yu get married by accident?

Madam Xiao glanced at Xiao Yu inconspicuously, and had to admit that the sickly boy's face was indeed much rosier than before!

The woman who was brought in for the wedding has not been seen since she was sent to Qingxi Courtyard...

"Yu'er, is that girl doing well in your courtyard?" Since they are a group of swindlers, the girl who was called here must be fine. I wonder what's the situation of her staying in Qingxi Courtyard so secludedly?

Is he also seeking wealth and fame? If so, it would be better to buy him off for your own use...

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and seemed to be extremely confused about what Madam Xiao said. After a few breaths, he asked back with a little confusion: "...What girl? What is mother talking about?"

As he spoke, Xiao Yu looked at his father who was sitting at the head of the bed in confusion, trying to find some clues from his eyes.

"Ruoyun, what are you talking about?" Xiao's father was also confused. Because of Xiao Yu's illness, the doctor had specifically told him to rest and not be burdened by alcohol and sex. Therefore, even though Xiao Yu had already reached adulthood, Xiao's father was not in a hurry to find a concubine or a wife for Xiao Yu.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to. After all, if he wants the Xiao family’s bloodline to continue, he must find a marriage for Xiao Yu.

But the current situation is far from the time to leave a descendant for Xiao Yu, and Xiao's father doesn't even think about it.

"Master, how come you don't remember? I just mentioned to you not long ago that I wanted to take a concubine for Yu'er?"

Xiao Yu did not admit it. She just felt that the other party was pretending. However, she had discussed this matter with Master Xiao. Why did even Master Xiao ask about it in such an unfamiliar way?

“…What?” Lin asked back with such confidence that it seemed as if it was true.

This tone made Mr. Xiao doubt his own memory. Could it be that... his memory became worse during the time he was sick?

"Has mother been busy and tired recently, so her memory is a little confused?" Xiao Yu, who was standing aside, calmed down after a moment of confusion and found the reason.

"Yes, there is no rush for Yu'er to get married. It looks like you are really tired. Go back and rest for a few days!" After being reminded by Xiao Yu, Xiao's father also confirmed that it was Lin who was talking nonsense.

Although it is time to put Xiao Yu's marriage on the agenda, Xiao's father secretly wants to find a daughter of an official family for Xiao Yu. However, a man should start a family and a career, and without a career, how can he have the confidence to get married?

That's why Xiao's father handed the audit task to Xiao Yu.

"..." Madam Xiao's lipstick-coated red lips were slightly open, and her heart was in turmoil.

She was sure that she remembered it correctly, but why did Master Xiao say that? Could it be that... this sickly person already knew something? Or maybe, he was testing her in conjunction with Master Xiao...

But when she was taken into the Xiao Mansion, although it was at night and hidden from outsiders, many of the maids and servants in the mansion knew about it. Telling such a lie that is easily exposed... It doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it...

Mrs. Xiao's thoughts were spinning rapidly. She thought about all possible situations, but she couldn't come to a conclusion.

Finally, she forced herself to raise the corners of her lips, without saying whether this matter actually existed or not, and only said: "Forget it, let's not talk about these things for now. It seems that I am really busy and confused. Master, I will go back to Furong Courtyard first."

Mrs. Xiao knew that she needed some free time to sort out these things.

She smoothed her sleeves, stood up and left.

The pace was getting faster and faster. The father and son behind him were talking in harmony, but Mrs. Xiao was so flustered that she didn't bother to listen.
