Xiao Yuanshi gave an elegant smile to the people watching the fun outside.
He followed the path of a Confucian general.
"Just now there was a small conflict at home, and I made everyone laugh."
The meaning is very clear. There is no big problem in my family, so please stop spreading it.
The others also smiled and said nothing on the surface, but they didn't think so in their hearts.
Such bustle is rare in the whole of Kyoto, so of course I have to go home or chat with friends and relatives.
Before leaving, Old Lady Xiao took the opportunity to talk to her new old lady friend.
I deliberately emphasized that I would make an appointment with the old lady to go to the fabric shop tomorrow.
Shi Qingluo said that when arriving in the capital, one should try not to stay in the general's mansion, but to make friends with like-minded people or people of similar status.
The old lady opposite, who was also from the village, had a lot in common with her.
Moreover, this old lady is a kind-hearted person. If the beastly second brother wants to put her under house arrest, this old lady will definitely help spread the word.
After hearing this, Xiao Yuanshi felt very annoyed, but he couldn't speak to stop it.
The old lady felt quite sympathetic towards Mrs. Xiao, thinking that her daughter-in-law was too unfilial and her son did not look very reliable.
She took Old Lady Xiao's hand and said, "Okay, let's go shopping together tomorrow. If you have anything, ask my wife or grandson to call me."
It was rare to meet someone from the same village with whom she could chat, so she didn't want Old Lady Xiao to really go back to the village.
Old Mrs. Xiao smiled and said, "Okay!"
After saying this, he followed Xiao Yuanshi and the other person back to the general's mansion.
As soon as Xiao Yuanshi sat down, before he could say anything, the old lady pulled him and started crying.
"Second brother, mother doesn't want to go out and make trouble today and let others laugh at her, but your wife and her brother are really bullying."
Then she exaggeratedly told the story of how Ge Chunyi disrespected her and beat up Xiao Lao Da and others.
Ge Chunyi couldn't help but argue, "You pulled my sister and slapped her. It's obviously you who bullied her."
Old Lady Xiao glanced at him with her triangular eyes and said to Xiao Yuanshi, "Look, I just said one sentence and he started to talk back."
"I am your biological mother who gave birth to you and raised you. Who the hell is he?"
"He lives and eats in the general's mansion like a young master, and you also help him find an academy and train him in martial arts."
"He can be so arrogant and disrespectful to your mother now. Will he still recognize you as his brother-in-law when he becomes rich in the future?"
"Some people are just ungrateful. Don't let the pillow talk you into forgetting their last names."
Shi Qingluo said that they couldn't just keep making trouble, but also had to stir up trouble between these beasts at the right time.
The more she thought about it, the more it seemed right, so she took the opportunity to start.
She continued crying, "Mom admits that I neglected you a little because you were the second child, but I also kept you well fed and clothed since you were young. When you went to the military camp, I was worried all day and couldn't sleep."
Old Man Xiao also said: "Yes, in the first few months after you left, we couldn't sleep all day and night, and your mother often woke up, fearing that something had happened to you."
This is half true and half false. I am indeed worried, but it is not that exaggerated.
When Xiao Yuanshi heard what the two said, he frowned.
He felt a little upset, thinking that although he was ignored back then, his parents were not too harsh on him.
She was just dissatisfied with the fact that he had to marry Kong, and she treated her harshly.
Of course, his heart did not soften at all because of this. These people had embarrassed him and he would remember it.
He looked up at Ge Chunyi, who had an angry look on his face and clenched his fists. His brows frowned even deeper and he felt a little dissatisfied.
No matter what, these are his parents and his brothers and sisters. He can do whatever he wants, but it is not his brother-in-law's turn to show off his power at home.
I originally thought that this brother-in-law was pretty good. If I trained him well, he would be a great help in the future.
But now he seems to be becoming more and more immature and unstable. Ever since he came to the capital and became famous for his riding and shooting skills in the academy, this brother-in-law has become more and more arrogant.
This suddenly reminded him of his handsome, elegant and steady son who was still in the village.
I sighed in my heart what a pity.
"Mom, don't be angry, I will tell him."
"Just think about me more and don't go out and make trouble all the time."
He said earnestly, "I have been humiliated, the General's Mansion has lost face, and you will also lose face."
First, coax and calm these people down for a while, and then find a way to lure my nephews and others to go gambling and send them back.
Old Mrs. Xiao looked very aggrieved. "I was bullied by your wife and brother-in-law. I couldn't help it."
"From now on, as long as they don't mess with me, I'll try my best to endure it."
I cursed in my heart, this beast is still siding with that vixen and that little beast.
Xiao Yuanshi was tired and tried to coax the old lady and others, wanting them to go to the governor of Kyoto and withdraw the report.
The old lady was furious when she heard this. "No, our things have been stolen. We should let the government investigate."
She persuaded him instead: "Don't be silly, that is a gift from the emperor. If you really lose it, can you still keep your position as general?"
Xiao Yuanshi: "..." You know this, and you still report it to the police? How could he be so unlucky to have such stupid and smart relatives?
"Mom, there is a misunderstanding here. The gold and other things were gifts from the emperor, so I had them put somewhere else and didn't tell you."
"So you should just ask Big Brother and the others to withdraw the case. If it gets out of hand, it will bring shame to our family."
Because there was no outsider at home, the old lady couldn't help it.
He raised his hand and slapped Xiao Yuanshi in the face, "You unfilial beast, you transferred the money and valuables away, who are you guarding against?"
"You beast crawled out of my belly, and you're actually on guard against a mother like me. You're going to be struck by lightning."
Every word she said now came from the bottom of her heart.
The other people in the Xiao family were also very angry. It turned out that the beast Second Brother was involved in this matter.
Xiao Yuanshi was stunned by the slap.
This was also the first time that he was slapped in the face by the old lady, especially in front of his young wife and brother-in-law.
"Mother, you should know what you are thinking. The General's Mansion is not a place where you can run wild."
He was furious. "From now on, all of you should stay at the General's Mansion. You will be provided with delicious food and drinks."
The old lady was also angry. She raised her hand and slapped the table.
"Why, you still want to ground us?"
"You beast, I tell you there's no way."
"I have an appointment with the old lady across the street to go shopping together tomorrow."
She threatened back, “If you don’t let me out and she comes looking for me, I will say that you abused my own mother and locked me in the woodshed, not giving me food and not letting me go out.”
At that time, Shi Qingluo was truly amazing. He even anticipated that the beast Lao Er would want to find an excuse to confine them.
Fortunately, they listened to the girl and found a way out before the trouble broke out, otherwise it would have been troublesome.
