Xiao Yuanshan was shocked and angry. He wiped his face, glared at the crazy woman in front of him and cursed her.

"Stupid woman! You are so confident and have the nerve to misinterpret my words? You said I don't love my child, how could I not? Just like you said, he is also my own son, but I can't disobey the emperor's order."

"What's more, this matter has been reported to the emperor. Do you know how many imperial censors have reported me in the court? At that time, the third prince didn't even dare to plead for me. It was because this matter was a foregone conclusion. It was our fault. I didn't even have room to defend myself."

Xiao Yuanshan said this with gritted teeth.

"I told you not to talk nonsense because I was thinking about the future. As long as there is green, there will be no shortage of firewood. Do you think life is over just because Xiao Yusheng is useless?"

"But don't you think about it? Yu Sheng is in this state now. He has to rely on Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion for support. If Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion collapses, we will have a meal to eat, but your precious son can't even find a meal!"

These words were really harsh to hear, but they were the truth. Mrs. Xiao was so angry that her eyes turned red and tears fell down.

Seeing that Mrs. Xiao started crying, Xiao Yuanshan's tone softened a lot.

"Okay, it's not that I don't love him, I just have no other choice. Don't talk nonsense now. The old bastard surnamed Xie is waiting to catch us by the hair and take revenge. If you go to cause trouble for the Third Prince and the Imperial Concubine, aren't you offering them a handle?"

"If you really want your son to have a good life in the second half of his life, you'd better pray for the stability of Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion, keep your mouth shut, and think twice before speaking, instead of talking nonsense as you do now, and you are bent on dragging Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion into trouble!"

After saying that, he snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left.

As Xiao Yuanshan stepped out of Xiao Yusheng's yard, he saw his second son Xiao Yu'an, who was supposed to be in the academy, coming towards him.

Then he suddenly remembered that Feng Xiaoniang had said before that since such a big thing had happened in the family, Yu'an was also a member of the Xiao family and had to share the responsibility, so he called the second son back.

But at that time, my mind was full of thoughts on how to deal with the trouble caused by Xiao Yusheng, so I just responded casually and didn't take it to heart.

Now that I think about it, I really neglected the second child. I didn't even see this kid after I came back.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuanshan saw that Xiao Yu'an felt a little guilty, but only a little bit, and the anger on his face had not yet been restrained.

Xiao Yu'an also saw his father. Like Xiao Yusheng, he looked very much like Xiao Yuanshan, but both of them also looked like their respective mothers.

Xiao Yusheng has a tough look between his eyebrows and eyes, more like his mother, Madam Xiao, and his eyes are sharp.

Xiao Yu'an, on the other hand, is like his mother, with gentle features between his eyebrows, which makes him look more gentle than Xiao Yusheng.

In addition, Xiao Yu'an is also good at studying, and with these two factors combined, he looks more like a gentle and polite scholar.

"Father."

He was very polite, walked quickly forward and saluted Xiao Yuanshan.

Looking at his second son who has always had little presence in the mansion, Xiao Yuanshan couldn't help feeling complicated.

Thinking that Xiao Yusheng has lost his position as the crown prince, the only one in the mansion who is of the right age and has the most promising future is Xiao Yu'an.

It's a pity that Yu'an is a bastard...

When Xiao Yuanshan thought about this, the anger on his face gradually dissipated.

"Yuan is here."

After saying this, Xiao Yuanshan suddenly asked, "By the way, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Yu'an remained calm and answered seriously.

"My son just came to see my elder brother. I heard that the palace has issued an imperial decree. I heard... I heard that the punishment for my elder brother is not very good..."

When saying this, Xiao Yu'an hesitated, with worry visible on his face.

He seemed to be afraid to ask, but seemed to have made up his mind. He mustered up his courage, looked up at Xiao Yuanshan and asked.

"Father, is there really no room for maneuver this time? The marriage between the Xiao family and the Xie family was already discussed long ago. Did the emperor agree to cancel the engagement so easily? And my eldest brother is already injured. If..."

"okay!"

Xiao Yuanshan didn't want to listen to Xiao Yu'an anymore.

Although it is a good thing for sons to have brotherhood, no one can help when it comes to Xiao Yusheng's matter.

The emperor's attitude was very clear, he was angry. If the people in Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion spread any voices expressing dissatisfaction with the result.

These words reached the emperor's ears. No matter how angry he was, he would be the one who suffered.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuanshan glared at Xiao Yu'an with a hint of warning.

"Don't say such things again in the future. The emperor has already issued an imperial decree, and there is no way to change it. Don't say that thunder and rain are all grace from the emperor. Just say that your eldest brother did it this time, and he deserves this result! If you didn't get involved, don't say anything, so as not to get yourself into trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu'an paused, but still couldn't help but speak in a low voice.

"Father, I know that the Emperor's will cannot be changed. I am just worried about my elder brother... No matter how wrong my elder brother is, he is still my biological elder brother. Now he is in such a situation. How will I live in the future?"

Xiao Yuanshan felt even more satisfied when he heard what his second son said.

Look, they are all my own children. Xiao Yusheng acts arrogantly, but my second son is not like that. It can be seen that it has nothing to do with me——

It has something to do with the mother who raised her!

Xiao Yu'an has been raised and taught by Feng Xiaoniang since he was a child. Although Feng Xiaoniang is only a concubine and not the mistress, the child she taught is really good.

I didn't notice it before. After all, the second child was only good at studying and I seldom saw him on weekdays. I would only ask him when I tested his homework.

As for Xiao Yusheng, it was probably because he relied on his title as the eldest son that he was spoiled by Madam Xiao.

The more Xiao Yuanshan thought about it, the more regretful he felt. If he had known this would happen, he should have taught him himself. How could he have let Xiao Yusheng end up like this?

But it's no use regretting now, things have already happened, Xiao Yusheng's body is disabled, and the position of prince has been taken away. No matter how high my hopes are for him, Xiao Yusheng will never be able to fulfill them.

That's it,

Then we can only change direction early -

Xiao Yuanshan stared at Xiao Yu'an with burning eyes and said with a relieved tone.

"Child, you should feel sorry for your brother, but you should also remember that you are from the Cheng'en Marquisate, and we in the Cheng'en Marquisate rely on the emperor's favor."

"This time it was your elder brother who made the mistake first and was punished by the Emperor. That's what he deserves. Don't worry about it. Don't say anything when you get out. Otherwise, if the Emperor hears about it, I, your father, will probably have to give you another scolding."

Xiao Yuanshan said this because he thought that since Xiao Yu'an loved his elder brother so much, he would also love him as his father.

Since I have said so myself, even if Xiao Yu'an is dissatisfied, he will probably just keep it to himself.
