"Dad, what happened? Are you okay?" Mrs. Xiang, the daughter-in-law, also asked with concern.
Xiang Wennan hurriedly walked to his wife, pulled her sleeve, winked at her and shook his head, meaning that he should stop asking.
As they were husband and wife, Mrs. Xiang understood what Xiang Wennan meant. Although she was curious, she did not ask any further questions.
Old Master Xiang's wrinkled face couldn't help but turn red. He really couldn't say these words!
Although this kind of thing always happens in their room, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him as the head of the family to say it out loud in front of his younger generation?
Even though his sons and grandsons already knew about it, they still felt ashamed and couldn't say it out loud!
Now that he was being roasted on the fire, Old Master Xiang poured the fire on Xiang Miao, saying that it was all the fault of this brat.
Then he stood up and gave his "good grandson" a slap in the face, "Who are you making fun of?"
Xiang Wennan, who was given a slap on the face, covered his head and shrank his neck, looking at Old Master Xiang aggrievedly, "Grandpa..."
Seeing that Old Master Xiang was being timid and even hitting his grandson, Old Madam Xiang suddenly became furious and slammed the chopsticks in her hand on the table.
...
...
"Xiang Shun!"
Old Master Xiang's body reacted faster than his brain. He bent his knees and knelt on the ground with a plop.
The son and grandson looked at Old Master Xiang kneeling on the ground with their eyes almost popping out.
They had never expected that their old mother/grandmother would just call out Old Master Xiang's full name and Old Master Xiang would kneel down directly. This skillful action unconsciously made people feel a little distressed, no, it should be funny.
"Dad, what are you doing? Why are you kneeling down?"
Old Master Xiang suddenly felt embarrassed and rubbed his knees quickly, "Nothing, I'm old and my legs are a little uncomfortable!"
He knelt too quickly just now and hit his knee, which was quite painful. This gave him an excuse.
Grandson Xiang Miao looked at Old Master Xiang in disbelief. He knew that Grandpa must be afraid of Grandma. His body moved faster than his brain. The body is the most honest! It seems that the rumors are true! Grandpa is really henpecked!
The little princess is amazing! She even knows this!
No one in their family knew about this, and it was only revealed by the little princess at the morning court. Grandpa was so embarrassed.
Madam Xiang, who didn't know anything yet, squatted down and asked Old Master Xiang with concern, "Dad, please be careful, did you bump into anything?"
Old Master Xiang smiled awkwardly and waved his hands quickly, "It's okay, don't worry, I'm fine!"
As he spoke, he cast a look of grievance and pleading towards his wife, but Old Madam Xiang just snorted coldly and did not smooth things over or give Old Master Xiang a way out.
Old Master Xiang smiled awkwardly, knowing that his wife was angry that he didn't tell the truth!
So, he could only sigh helplessly and asked Madam Xiang, "I should have told you before that Concubine Liang in the cold palace gave birth to a daughter for the emperor, right?"
Madam Xiang finally didn't feel like getting angry. She turned around and looked at Grand Tutor Xiang in confusion, "I know! Isn't she just a little girl of three and a half years old? What happened to her?"
Old Master Xiang turned away, blushing as he spoke weakly, "Actually, nothing happened in the morning court. It was just that the little girl said in front of all the civil and military officials that I knelt on the washboard in my room at night!"
Anyway, this matter has already been spread out, and there is no need to hide it, so just say it out loud.
As soon as the words fell, the whole restaurant fell silent.
Mrs. Xiang turned to look at her husband Xiang Wennan with a questioning look in her eyes. Xiang Wennan nodded, then raised his hand and made a gesture for her to be quiet, and Mrs. Xiang closed her mouth.
Although Mrs. Xiang kept her mouth shut, she was very excited. She had never expected that her majestic father-in-law would kneel on the washboard for her mother-in-law in the room at night. How exciting! Her mother-in-law was also amazing. She also wanted to experience what it felt like!
If Xiang Wennan knew what his wife was thinking, he would definitely have the idea of "killing his father". It would be fine if the old man just knelt on the washboard himself, but he actually led his wife astray!
Madam Xiang was also stunned by this explanation, her lips trembling, "Did you say that at the morning court?"
I never expected that the little princess would know that. Who told her? And how could such a thing be told to a three-and-a-half-year-old girl?
Old Master Xiang nodded and looked at Old Madam Xiang embarrassedly, "Yes! I wanted to ask you, have you told anyone about this matter?"
Madam Xiang, who was originally confused, heard the words of Old Tutor Xiang trying to shirk responsibility, and immediately called out the old tutor's full name in anger.
"Xiang Shun!"
Old Master Xiang's body trembled subconsciously, and he unconsciously wanted to kneel down again, but he was quickly suppressed. Now was not the place and time to kneel to his wife.
Although Old Master Xiang did not kneel down, his subconscious action was still seen by Xiang Wennan and others.
Here it comes again!
It is true!
Xiang Wennan's family of three looked like they were watching a show on the spot.
Who would have thought that the old Master Xiang, who was highly respected and dignified and cold in the outside world, was actually a henpecked husband in front of Madam Xiang.
Madam Xiang looked at Xiang Wennan with curiosity, asking, "You don't know?"
Xiang Wennan blushed, spread his hands and shrugged, and replied with his eyes, "If I knew, I wouldn't be as shocked as you!"
It's no wonder that Xiang Wennan, who grew up in a family and is now in his forties, has never heard his mother call "Grand Tutor Xiang" in such anger, and naturally his father has never seen the kneeling scene.
Otherwise, he would have used this matter to confront me and threatened me to spare him a lot of punishment when he was a child.
Fortunately, Old Tutor Xiang didn’t know what his son was thinking, otherwise, he would definitely not mind seeing the young die before the old!
But now Old Master Xiang’s mind is filled with the need to explain things clearly to his wife, otherwise he will not only have to kneel on the washboard at night, but also have to sleep on the floor.
"Ma'am, that's not what I meant! I didn't say you were the one who spread it!"
Madam Xiang glanced at Grand Tutor Xiang coldly, "Ha... what did you mean by that? Do you think I just want everyone to know that I'm a tigress? Don't you think that you got drunk and told someone about it, and then the little princess heard it?"
Old Master Xiang was choked and was speechless.
People speak the truth when they are drunk and it is normal for them to lose their memory.
But there was no way such a thing could reach the ears of a little girl, right?
However, he had no confidence to refute.
Madam Xiang snorted coldly, "Anyway, you are the one who is embarrassed this time, it has nothing to do with me! You can sleep in the study today!"
