Chapter 129: Chapter 129 No Fortune
Translator: 549690339
Second Old Master Xiao wanted to strangle Yang Shao to death. He didn’t even know where this person’s charm was, but he had already charmed Second Mother so much that she didn’t even care about her face. Not only did she take the initiative to throw herself into his arms, she even begged Emperor Yu Heng. Their Xiao Family’s face was completely lost.
When Mrs. Xiao told him about it, he almost fainted.
In the past, she had only secretly complained about her brother’s children being disappointing and embarrassing the Xiao family. She did not expect that a huge pit would crawl on the roof of her house. It was not her turn to show up before she was in love. When she acted like a cat, she looked like a human, but when she really acted, she could tell that they were a family. One mountain was higher than the other, and one pit was bigger than the other.
At most, they were arrogant and despotic, loved to beat people up, and had problems with their reputations. Needless to say, the two Langjuns would not hurt their bones no matter what happened. They were not comparable to women.
However, this daughter of his was good. She had used a big move and went to someone else’s house to snatch her future brother-in-law…
Damn it, if he didn’t do this, Second Master Xiao would have recognized Yang Shao as his niece-in-law. After all, his niece was beautiful. Not only was she hot-tempered, but her reputation was also ruined. Not many people would dare to marry her.
Who knew that his own daughter would have her eyes on him and even rush to deliver herself to him. He was really convinced. Whether it was him or Second Mother’s biological mother, they were not so unrestrained!
However, things were not afraid of the worst, but they were afraid of getting worse and worse.
In the end, when it came to the Emperor, his face was completely on the ground. Fortunately, it was not spread out. Otherwise, if it was reduced to a meal, wouldn’t those people who he had participated in the past come back ten times or a hundred times more?
The previous Imperial Censor’s Deputy Chief of the Department of Justice had not been able to get a handle on some matters and had been caught red-handed by others.
Therefore, as soon as Second Master Xiao gained the favor of the Emperor, he was granted the title of Imperial Censor Zhongcheng and went to the grave. He did not offend more than half of the officials in the court, and he boasted that he was worthy of the Emperor’s grace.
In fact, he knew very well that the Xiao family was being ridiculed by the masses. How much of the foundation was with him.
However, he did not expect his daughter to be so good at deceiving her father. She had placed his brilliant battle record on the fire. If he was not careful, he would be burnt. As long as they knew his shortcomings, it would be strange if those people would let him go.
So much so that when he heard Yang Shao propose with his own ears, he gritted his teeth in hatred, and then could not help but sigh.
His own daughter was stubborn. She had lost so much face and begged the emperor. She was dead set on sticking to him. When he returned to the residence, he even said that he would not marry anyone other than Yang Shao. What could he do?
She could make a hole in the sky if she randomly found someone to marry her.
Yang Shao begged to marry the Xiao family’s eldest wife and then marry the second wife. It was not good to hear this, but… It was much better than his daughter throwing his face on the ground and letting others step on it.
The so-called mute eating yellow lotus was Second Master Xiao:
“Brat, you’re unreasonable. Can’t you even afford a matchmaker? You actually came to me to propose marriage.”With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
This was a yes, but the future son-in-law and son-in-law both heaved a sigh of relief.
Yang Shao handed over a step at the right time. Second Master Xiao did not argue and almost went down.
Otherwise, what else could he do? He also wanted to hold his head high and despise Yang Shao. He wanted to humiliate him from head to toe, but unfortunately, his daughter was disappointing!
When he returned to the Xiao manor, he told Madam Xiao the truth.
“I reckon that Yang Shao will invite a matchmaker to propose marriage in two days.”
He said he was preparing, but in reality, he was just agreeing to let her know.
Madam Xiao almost fainted when she heard this.” If First Master finds out about this, won’t he cause a ruckus?”
As the saying goes, a girl is a good girl. Why did they only have one son in their family, begging each and every wife? What, hitting a person’s face like this?
Second Master Xiao was also annoyed. These few days, he had almost shaved his beard. He stroked his sparse beard and gritted his teeth.”So what if I don’t? I’ve already let out a long sigh of relief when she came to propose marriage. If that scourge stays at home, does our residence still have any face?”
He followed his wife and told her the truth.” I have offended many people in the past few years. If Second Mother took the initiative to ask for a marriage and the news that the Emperor rejected her spread, do you think they would not add insult to injury and accuse me of not being strict with my upbringing? At that time, it would be another matter whether he could keep his official position or not.”
“We’ve worked so hard for so many years, and we’ve fallen into the hands of a little miss? Even if Sister-in-law can’t see through this, Brother should know… Right. At most, he would come back and I would explain to him. 1 can’t just watch my brother suffer and be tired of being an official, right?”
Madam Xiao thought to herself that her brother had always been a man of his word in the Xiao family. Second Brother Xiao did not even dare to fart in front of him.
Since Boss Xiao wasn’t here, he made the first move to secure his position, acting first and reporting later.
“Just put on an act. I know you’re unhappy, and I’m unhappy too. In the end, it’s you who didn’t do your best as a mother. You looked fine in the past, but now… What had she become? There was no need to prepare too much dowry. It was fine if she took away what her mother had left for her…What a disgrace!”
Madam Xiao almost exploded when she heard the first half of the sentence. She flipped the table over, but when she heard about the dowry, she felt more at ease.
With such a stepdaughter, if she were to personally marry her off, she would die of grievances.
“I have to let the Yang family know…How embarrassing. If 1 had known earlier, 1 wouldn’t have bothered with them. I think it’s better for both Madam Liu and Yang Xiaolang. “Madam Xiao felt stifled just thinking about it.” There’s no good fortune in loving and respecting.”
“Alright, alright, don’t complain to me. Where am I going to reason with you?”Second Master Xiao was so angry that he plucked two strands of his beard and threw them on the ground.”Don’t mention her again, it’s so embarrassing. A fourteen-year-old girl actually threw herself into my arms. Not only is she not lucky, but she also doesn’t have foresight or brains!”
Madam Xiao wanted to complain to Second Master Xiao, but after listening to Second Master Xiao’s complaints for half a night, she strangely found a balance in her heart. Knowing that she wasn’t the only one who felt aggrieved, she was satisfied.
However, it was difficult to say this to the chief branch. It was better to say this sooner than later. If it was too late, once it was heard from the mouth of others, their relationship would be hurt.
Therefore, Madam Xiao woke up early the next morning and went to Madam Xie’s place to explain the whole story.
Before she could finish her sentence, it was revealed that Xiao Lingyu had agreed. Madam Xie’s face had already fallen to her feet, and her eyes were filled with ice.
“Second Uncle, what do you mean by that? You can’t get married because you have no one else?”
First, she proposed marriage to her aunt, then turned around to seduce Second Mother, and then turned around to propose marriage to Second Mother. At that time, Madam Xie was very satisfied with Yang Shao, this future son-in-law, and now she was disgusted with him. What he did was not human..
