Xiao Yi was so angry that he rushed into the house of the second son of the Xiao family and packed up all his precious orchids and took them away.

Ten days later, as soon as the second son of the Xiao family returned home, Xiao Yi brought old lady Xiao back home before she even had time to sit down.

However, two days ago, Madam Xiao disappeared from Xiao Yi's home. Xiao Yi thought that his two brothers had taken Madam Xiao away, so he took his wife to the second son's home.

Upon learning that Old Madam Xiao was not at the second son's house, the two brothers rushed to the eldest son's house together.

As a result, Madam Xiao was not there either.

The three brothers gradually panicked, but they couldn't help but suspect that it was their brother who hid Old Madam Xiao.

To prove their innocence, the three brothers swore on Madam Xiao's life, saying that they did not hide Madam Xiao.

At this point, the three brothers were completely panicked and began to search all over the capital for someone, and even reported the matter to the authorities. 】

After hearing what the system said, Jiang Yueyang asked doubtfully: [Is it really not Xiao Yi who is crying wolf? ]

【Why do you ask? 】

[According to what you said, Xiao Yi is very filial. Then, since Old Madam Xiao is missing, he should be very anxious. How can he still be in the mood to attend the morning court on time! ]

The system hesitated, [Hmm... maybe he has a strong sense of responsibility and doesn't want to let family matters interfere with state affairs.]

[No, no, no.] Jiang Yueyang shook her head and looked at Emperor Yuan intriguingly, [I think it is very likely that Your Majesty is unkind and did not give him leave!]

Emperor Yuan: ??? Did you ask for permission before you asked for leave?

You don't have to ask me for leave, you should ask the Minister of Personnel! Humph!

Upon hearing this, the system immediately shifted the blame and hummed heavily, [Host is right, it must be like this! ]

Emperor Yuan: ...Sometimes I also want to beat the drum to protest my grievances.
