Having said this, Feng Xiaoniang paused, as if she was not saying what she meant. She avoided the eyes of Marquis Xiao and stared at a certain place quietly, with a tone of self-mockery that she herself could hardly detect.

"It's just that I often envy Madam. You have a good family background, good upbringing, and are the Marquis's legal wife. The Marquis and Madam are also in perfect harmony, and they usually stay at Madam's place. But I can only secretly hope that the Marquis will come over."

"The Marquis has obviously never ignored people like us who were born as concubines, but... but I still envy Madam. Sigh, in the end, I am just too greedy. The Marquis and Madam are the real couple. I can understand that Madam is jealous and angry and wants to take the Marquis back."

The first half of this statement was quite pleasant to the ear. His words seemed to be speaking for Madam Xiao, thinking about Madam Xiao, and considering things from Madam Xiao's perspective.

In the second half, he began to secretly mock Madam Xiao for doing this simply because she was jealous and wanted to take Marquis Xiao away from Hanmei Garden just to win favor.

As for having important things to report, they are just excuses. Using official business to achieve one's personal goals is indeed a bit petty. How can one be a mistress?

There were some things that Feng Xiaoniang did not say directly, but Lord Xiao was able to understand them and then make his own associations.

Sure enough, Lord Xiao immediately became unhappy. He slammed the table and sat up from the couch.

"I think she is becoming more and more unrefined! Doesn't she think the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion is chaotic enough? Still in the mood to be jealous? I think she is really confused by Xiao Yusheng's matter. If she continues like this, I will send her to the family temple to practice for a while."

"I think it would help her to change her impatience and not get angry so easily. She would not doubt this and that so easily. Xiao Yusheng has become like this because of his mother's spoiled behavior and other reasons."

"I guess it's because she doesn't do good deeds on a daily basis and has lost her virtue, so the retribution fell on Xiao Yusheng. When will this woman change her bad temper? Isn't it enough to harm Xiao Yusheng, she wants to harm me too!"

Feng Xiaoniang seemed to be frightened by Marquis Xiao's words. She covered her mouth and looked outside again. She looked very fearful and advised in a low voice.

"My Lord, please don't say that. What if my wife hears it? I was just talking casually. My Lord, please don't take it seriously. What if my wife really came here for serious business?"

Having said this, without waiting for Marquis Xiao to reply, Feng Xiaoniang half stood up and was about to help Marquis Xiao up and said.

"If it's really something important, we can't delay it. My Lord, you should go out and meet her. By the way, I have to ask Yu An to apologize. After all, he just clashed with the mistress. As a son, he was really unruly."

"Let him personally apologize to the mistress and admit his fault. It's nothing to bow to the elders. Besides, only when the adults reconcile can the children continue to be good brothers. Children forget things easily, and they are brothers. Even if they are brothers, they are still connected. It's better to just let it go."

While speaking, he also said to the maid next to him.

"Go, invite the Second Young Master over."

The maid quickly went to the small study.

Lord Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't stop it. However, his tone was much softer when talking to Feng Xiaoniang.

"What are you doing? How can you let Yu'an apologize? I saw everything that happened just now, and I told you everything, didn't I? How can you let Yu'an admit his fault? The one who is wrong is that crazy woman Madam Xiao, Yu'an did nothing wrong!"

After saying this, he waved to the maid who was reporting.

"Go out and tell my wife that I won't see her! If she really has nothing to do, then she can just rest in her own courtyard, or go out and hire a few more doctors for Xiao Yusheng, and fulfill her responsibilities as a mother."

The maid had already anticipated this outcome.

Now that Madam Xiao is about to fall from grace, it is time for them, Mrs. Feng, to make a comeback.

Xiao Yusheng has become a cripple and his position as Crown Prince has been taken away from him. So the position of Crown Prince of Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion will sooner or later fall to their second young master.

So when the maid heard the Marquis' words, she felt proud, breathed a sigh of relief, and then went out.

……

"What? You don't want to see me? Why don't you want to see me? Why don't you want to see me?"

Sure enough, after the maid came out personally to tell Madam Xiao what Marquis Xiao had said, Madam Xiao lost her mind and immediately became furious.

Although Xie Ruyu had temporarily persuaded him just now, how could a person with a quick temper be easily controlled by just a few words?

Of course it is impossible!

So this time, Mrs. Xiao, who was angry, did not do anything else, but pushed away the maid who was blocking her way and scolded her.

"You bastards are deliberately trying to ruin my show, right? I'm telling you, get out of here! I must see the Marquis today. If you delay the important matters of the mansion because you can't see the Marquis, I will peel off your skin, and get out of here!"

Madam Xiao made quite a noise outside, and both Mrs. Feng and Lord Xiao in Hanmei Garden heard it. At this time, Xiao Yu'an, who was invited out by the maid, also heard it.

Hearing the noise outside, Feng Xiaoniang said to Xiao Yu'an.

"Child, I know you are not good at talking, but in front of Madam, especially when your elder brother is injured like that, you should still say a few more words of comfort. If Madam wants to beat you, just bear with it."

"Filial piety comes first. You were beaten, but Madam feels better. After all, she is just a woman, and it is impossible for her to beat you up. Why are you hiding? When Madam comes in later, you stand there and apologize sincerely."

"It's best to kneel down in front of the Madam and admit your fault. If the Madam hits you, you should just take it obediently. It won't hurt you, but as long as the Madam can vent her anger, then you will have fulfilled your filial duty. Do you understand?"

Xiao Yu'an's face was full of submissiveness and a bit of shame.

"What I'm saying is that my son is just a fool. The incident happened suddenly and he didn't react. Now that I think about it, my son is indeed unfilial."

"If Madam comes in later, I will be on guard. No matter if you beat me or scold me, I can bear it. As long as Madam feels better and can temporarily forget about my brother's situation, I can do anything."

The mother and son were talking to each other, and if an outsider heard them, his jaw would probably drop in shock.

However, it happened that the mother and son had lived in the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion for many years and had performed plays for many years, and Marquis Xiao was very fond of them.

So in the eyes of the only audience member, Lord Xiao, it was very useful. He liked such virtuous women.

Look, putting rules first is how you teach your own son.
