"Mom, you have to take care of yourself. I believe that Brother Xiao will bring the sisters back. They will be fine."

Tao Zhiheng hurried forward, took his mother's hand and comforted her.

Tao Zhiyi and Tao Zhixing also stepped forward to persuade him.

Tao sighed and stopped crying.

"I never thought that Xin'er and the other girls were in trouble this time because of Tao Jiaojiao, no, now she's called Shu Jiaorong."

The one who spoke was Mr. Tao.

The original book does not describe the Tao family in much detail, but only focuses on Tao Zhixing and the Tao couple.

In fact, Mr. Tao had different ideas from several other members of the Tao family. He had always looked down upon Tao Jiaojiao.

He always felt that Tao Jiaojiao was cunning and selfish.

He only said this once to Old Madam Tao and Mrs. Tao, but no one believed him.

This finally led to disaster, and Shu Xin, Tao Miaomiao and others were kidnapped by bandits.

How could he not be angry?

When Tao Zhixing heard this, he was immediately unhappy.

He never believed what Xiao Beiyuan said. He felt that it was because Shu Xin and Tao Miaomiao were too conspicuous and they did not pay attention to cover their faces, so their faces were seen by the bandits, which caused such a disaster. What did it have to do with Tao Jiaojiao?

"Grandfather, what you said is true. You watched Jiaojiao grow up. Are you so sure that she did it?"

Tao Zhixing asked angrily.

Old Master Tao was stunned. When he came to his senses, his beard trembled with anger.

"So what you mean is that Tao Jiaojiao definitely didn't do this? It was Shuxin and the others who invited the bandits here, is that what you mean?"

Everyone present could hear the suppressed anger of Mr. Tao.

Yu Ansheng and Tao also came back to their senses from their grief.

"Zhi Xing, what do you mean? How dare you talk to your grandfather like that?!"

Tao was still sick and had no strength, so she just pointed at Tao Zhixing.

Yu Ansheng quickly calmed her down and scolded Tao Zhixing at the same time.

Tao Zhixing stammered. Seeing that everyone was looking at him with disapproval, he suddenly felt a rebellious emotion in his heart for some reason.

But both his mother and father were angry, so he didn't dare to continue.

Mr. Tao sneered.

"Let him talk. I want to hear what he thinks about this matter!"

"father……"

Yu Ansheng wanted to stop it.

Mr. Tao waved at him.

Tao Zhixing was the successor of the Tao family trained by him personally.

He had always been a bit stubborn and always went against Shuxin.

Old Master Tao just thought that he was unable to give up his brother-sister relationship with Tao Jiaojiao, and that's why he couldn't stand Shu Xin.

Now it seems that he was wrong.

This Tao Zhixing is just a fool who is confused and easily exploited by others!

When Tao Zhixing saw Grandpa Tao like this, he was a little scared and didn't dare to speak.

"Brother, you should apologize to grandpa!"

Although Tao Zhiyi found Tao Zhixing's words a little unpleasant to hear, he still wanted to persuade him.

I feel like what Big Brother meant is that Miss Xiao Beiyuan lied?

He had a hunch that Xiao Beiyuan was definitely not that kind of person.

She and Tao Jiaojiao had never met each other before, and they had no relationship or contact.

There was no need to frame her by saying things like that, was there?

Mr. Tao was obviously angry and he was also stubborn.

"Why apologize? What did he do wrong? Come on, let him speak!"

Old Master Tao's beard twitched and he glared at Tao Zhixing angrily.

Tao was already extremely disappointed with Tao Jiaojiao.

It's like being disappointed in the children you have loved and raised for more than ten years.

Now that he realized what was happening, he felt a little disappointed with Tao Zhixing.

Yu Ansheng originally wanted to persuade Mr. Tao, but was stopped by her.

She wanted to see what Tao Zhixing was thinking.

Today she had to sort out this matter clearly, so that they would not be influenced by Tao Jiaojiao in the future.

Tao Zhixing also noticed that the atmosphere was not right and was afraid, but Zhou had taken the child to sleep and there was no one to speak for him.

He had no choice but to continue speaking.

"Grandpa, I was thinking that Jiaojiao grew up under our care. She is kind-hearted and definitely not the kind of person who would harm others. I thought that my sister and the others might have been accidentally seen by the bandits, which led to this disaster."

While looking at Mr. Tao's expression, he expressed his thoughts.

He called Mr. Tao "Grandpa" instead of "grandfather" to show closeness.

After all, for Mr. Tao, since he had no son, he could only ask his daughter to marry a son-in-law, and his grandchildren all had the surname Tao, thus continuing the Tao family's bloodline.

In private, Tao Zhixing always called him grandpa instead of grandfather, just to show intimacy and to make up for the old man's regret.

Old Master Tao raised his head and looked at Tao Zhixing. His eyes were so straight that it made people feel creepy.

Under his stare, Tao Zhixing had nowhere to hide and almost couldn't stand his gaze.

Old Madam Tao saw this and couldn't bear it, so she quickly interrupted.

"Whether it was Jiaojiao who did this or not, we'll know everything once your sister and the others come back. Zhixing, you don't have to be so stubborn. Now we should worry about your sister and the others being captured. If something really happens to them, everything will be ruined in the future!"

She said with a worried look on her face, trying to wink at Tao Zhixing.

Her opinion on Tao Jiaojiao was the same as Tao Zhixing's, and she also felt that Tao Jiaojiao would not have done this.

However, Shu Xin and Tao Miaomiao are her granddaughters after all, so she is still very worried about their safety.

She said this to divert everyone's attention, so that everyone would stop worrying about Tao Jiaojiao's affairs and instead worry about the safety of Shuxin and the others.

She and Mr. Tao have been married for decades, so how could she not know what Mr. Tao's reaction meant.

Tao Zhixing is her first grandson, and her feelings for him are incomparable to those for any other grandchildren.

She was really afraid that Mr. Tao would be disappointed with Tao Zhixing and then do something.

Seeing that he had someone to back him up, Tao Zhixing became bolder.

"With Prince Xiao going, I believe my sisters and the others will be fine. If anything does happen, I, as their eldest brother, can promise that they can stay at home even if they don't get married in the future."

Tao Zhixing thought that what he said was very generous and was secretly proud of himself.

Mr. Tao slammed the table and stood up suddenly.

"So, they have to thank you?"

Mr. Tao’s words were too sharp, and Tao Zhixing didn’t dare to respond.

"You are really blinded by greed. You don't know what you are thinking. Don't forget that you still have a wife and two children. Don't be so stupid that you don't even know you are being taken advantage of."

"Come on, you are not young anymore, I can't control you anymore. Today, I am going to say this to you. Don't let your stupidity get in the way and bring trouble to our whole family."

As he said this, he was about to leave angrily.

Old Madam Tao tried to hold him back, but he broke free.

He glared at Madam Tao and turned away.

The Tao family was also on the verge of collapse. Yu Ansheng wanted to chase out to see Grandpa Tao, fearing that the old man would get angry and something bad would happen to him, but he could only protect the Tao family first.

He asked Tao Zhiyi and Tao Zhiheng to chase after Old Man Tao and give him some advice.

He and Yu Anquan sent Tao back to his room to rest.

Tao Zhixing still stood there. He suddenly felt a splitting headache. Only when he came to his senses did he feel a little scared.

He was really crazy. If Shuxin and the others came back, they would be able to confirm whether what Xiao Beiyuan said was true or false.

If it is true, how should he deal with himself in the future?
