"Shiye! Xiaoyun is your sister, how can you say such harsh words?" Xiao Fengnian looked very serious.
He has few brothers and sisters in his generation, only one sister who married and moved far away many years ago and is not often in Yandu. Therefore, he values brotherly love very much, otherwise he would not have taken in the daughter of his adjutant Xia Sheng.
"Meanwhile? Compared to what Xia Yun did to me, I only said a few words, which shouldn't be considered mean, right? Uncle Xiao really knows how to joke." Looking at Xiao Fengnian's solemn expression, Shi also chuckled with a hint of sarcasm in his laughter.
Xiao Fengnian was so angry that his face turned blue, but he didn't know how to blame anyone anymore, so he turned around and left.
Xia Yun looked at Xiao Fengnian's angry back, leaned against the door, and laughed. She looked at Shiye as if he was a fool. "You don't think everything will be fine if you hook up with Xiao Yue, do you? He listens to Xiao Fengnian very much. Aren't you afraid that the marriage will fall through in the end? Or do you think you have grown strong enough that Xiao Fengnian can bully you at will?"
Her voice was full of sarcasm, and Shi also curled his lips and asked, "What about you? Xia Yun, do you think that everything will be fine if you hook up with Xiao Fengnian? If I'm not mistaken, you're trying so hard to get him back because of Xiao Yue's mission, right?"
Hearing this, Xia Yun's expression changed. She looked at Shi Ye with extra vigilance, snorted coldly, and turned back to the house.
Shi didn't care about Xia Yun's pretense at all. Thinking of Pei Runnian and Jiang Zishan, the corners of his mouth curled up. He really wanted to see how lively this New Year would be. It would be good to stimulate the subsequent effects of the beauty system in advance.
On the other side, Xiao Fengnian returned to the room, frowned, sat on the bed, and looked at Tong Muzhen who was sitting in front of the dressing table.
"Comrade Tong Muzhen, you've seen that this guy's temper has changed a lot since he came back from the northwest."
"Just now, as soon as you left, she said I didn't respect you. Does she know what respect is?"
"You didn't even give me any face in front of Xiaoyun. It made me feel so embarrassed!"
"She is still young after all. She doesn't understand many things yet and her thinking is immature. We can't just feed her when we bring her back. We also need to provide moral education. In the future, I'll have to trouble you to spend more time and teach her more, so that she knows what to do and what not to do, and guide her on the right path. Don't let her go astray at such a young age."
Xiao Fengnian spoke very seriously, with anger hinted in his voice.
Tong Muzhen applied skin cream on her face without even turning her head. She said coldly, "What's wrong with being young? You just insisted that I take Xia Yun to the tailor shop. Did you ask for my opinion? Is this respect? I think you understand what respect is even though you are still young."
Hearing this, Xiao Fengnian, who was originally angry, twitched his mouth and said in a deep voice: "How can you think so?"
"I know you don't like Xiaoyun, but they are sisters. Since we have taken them in, we should treat them equally. If you only bring Xiaoye and not Xiaoyun to make new clothes, if others know about it, they will say we are partial to one, right?"
"I just don't want you to value one and ignore the other. Can this be considered disrespect?"
Xiao Fengnian sighed, stepped forward and put his hand on Tong Muzhen's shoulder: "You should understand my thoughts."
Tong Muzhen looked at Xiao Fengnian through the mirror, her eyes indifferent: "I don't understand, and you actually told me to treat everyone equally?" After that, she broke away from Xiao Fengnian's hand, stood up, turned back to look at him, and said in a deep voice: "In dealing with Xia Yun's treason, do you think you have done justice to Xiao Ye? I think her questioning makes sense, so can you tell me why you take care of Xia Yun so much? How is she better than Xiao Ye? In terms of character, she is the one who needs to be educated first."
Hearing this, Xiao Fengnian's face changed. It was unclear whether it was because his thoughts were touched upon or for some other reason.
After a while, he frowned and said, "Comrade Tong Muzhen! What you said is unreasonable! I have always acted in accordance with the principles of the organization. When have I not treated everyone equally? How can you accuse Xiaoyun of such a serious crime as treason? This is not fair to her at all. It's just a few idle words. She doesn't have to suffer in the labor camp!"
"I listened to Xiaoye's questioning, but she is too young and can't see through some things."
"I take care of Xiaoyun because she is Xia Sheng's only daughter. I give her guidance at work and help her in life. I also do my best for Xiaoyun, just like I do for Xiaoyun!"
"I have a clear conscience, I am worthy of the organization, and I am worthy of Xiaoye. Please don't make random guesses and affect unity!"
Xiao Fengnian spoke righteously. Tong Muzhen looked at his expression, suddenly sneered, and said nothing more.
"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Fengnian said unhappily, "You have never been an unreasonable person. What changed you?"
"You want to say it's Xiaoye? No, it's you." Tong Muzhen chuckled, shook her head, and leaned on the dressing table.
"Old Xiao, we have been married for decades. You have always been good to me and never asked anything of me. But think about it, since Xia Yun came to our house, how many times have you and I argued over her? You want me to like her, how is that possible?"
"I like Xiaoye because she never makes things difficult for me."
"You don't plan to let Xiaoye and Ayue be together, but I think it's fate for them to be together. I agree."
Tong Muzhen spoke calmly, but deep down she was filled with resentment. She didn't like to argue with others, but the appearance of a person changed her life. How could she be happy? Xia Yun was a person with too many little thoughts. She just couldn't like her.
Xiao Fengnian was stunned, and looking at Tong Muzhen's eyes, he suddenly felt guilty.
He loved Tong Muzhen very much and had never forced her to do anything. He was too reluctant in dealing with Xia Yun. He was the one who brought her back, so why should he force Tong Muzhen to accept it? Was this fair to her?
At this moment, Xiao Fengnian came to his senses, his lips moved, and he wanted to say something, but suddenly the voice of the guard downstairs sounded: "Chief of Staff! Madam! There are guests at home——"
Tong Muzhen frowned and said unhappily, "These two people really know how to make up time."
She sneered and sat back, too lazy to go down to receive the guests. Seeing this, Xiao Fengnian sighed and left the room.
Shi also heard Zhao Tianqing's voice, came out of the house, and bumped into Xia Yun who also came out to join in the fun.
She glanced downstairs and looked at Makiya: "Guess who's coming?"
Shi also blinked, looking at Xia Yun's gossiping look, and said with a curled lip corner: "It may be Jiang Zishan, who came to ask for marriage. You must agree to him. After all, you have worked so hard for so long, chasing from Yandu to the northwest, you can't be in vain."
Hearing this, Xia Yun's face darkened. She didn't bother to pay attention to the sharp-tongued Shi Ye. She tidied her hair and went downstairs.
