"Sister, you can have both a man and wealth, why don't you want it?"
Hearing what Xiao Yunchen said, Li Sisi laughed sarcastically.
Even if it sounds nice, does that mean you don't want to choose her?
Although I already knew the answer in my heart, I still felt disappointed.
Li Sisi pushed him away, glancing at him sideways, and spoke slowly, "Love is precious, but life is more precious. If it's for freedom, both can be abandoned."
She took a few steps back to create some distance between them, and said sarcastically, "There are millions of men in the world, and you're just one of them. Besides... I can have both a man and freedom, so why not?"
Xiao Yunchen stared at her with a dark gaze, but his tone was calm, even coaxing her: "Stay with me, you won't lose your freedom. If you want to be an official, I can..."
Li Sisi no longer believed him and interrupted him angrily before he could finish: "Bullshit! You won't even let me out of the yard now!"
Her clear eyes were now filled with anger: "Xiao Yunchen, you have the guts to keep me locked up for life!"
Xiao Yunchen's dark eyes became colder, and his jawline and neck lines were tense.
She was actually thinking about escaping all the time!
Don’t even think about it!
His tone was still coaxing, but it was filled with a low, harsh tone: "Okay, then I will keep you prisoner until you are willing to stay by my side."
Li Sisi glared at him, her chest heaving violently with anger.
"Chen'er——" The familiar low voice outside the house broke the tense atmosphere in the house.
"Why don't you two get out of the way! My old lady is here to see her son, and you dare to stop her?" The old nanny beside Madam Xiao said arrogantly.
Li Sisi snorted and laughed: "Your mother is here to see you, why don't you go out and greet her?"
Xiao Yunchen said softly, "I'll be back soon."
Li Sisi watched Xiao Yunchen open the door and leave, then sat on the stool with her lips pursed. Anger filled her nerves.
As expected, she shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and shouldn't have cared about Xiao Yunchen's life or death!
Mrs. Xiao saw her son coming out of the house. Seeing that he had lost a lot of weight, the anger on her face instantly faded a lot.
When he got closer, I saw the tired look on his face, and his already frowned brows became even tighter.
Her tone softened a bit, and she asked softly with concern, "Why are you on duty right after you got back? Why don't you stay home and rest for a few more days?"
"I have something important to do and I have to go."
As Xiao Yunchen spoke, he had already come in front of her, and Qingxuan and Qinglian automatically made way.
Mrs. Xiao had a conflicted look on her face. On the one hand, her son had just returned and looked very tired, and she wanted to say some heartfelt words to her son.
At the same time, she was very concerned about the person who came back to life, and now she wanted to get to the bottom of it.
As if he knew what she was thinking, Xiao Yunchen said calmly: "Mother, let's go to your yard and talk in detail."
Madam Xiao nodded quickly and said, "Okay."
The mother and son were silent along the way.
The Xiao Mansion was not much different from when he left.
He grew up here and naturally felt reluctant to leave, but his wife didn't like this place, she even hated it.
Came to Mrs. Xiao's courtyard.
Xiao Yunchen dismissed all the servants and spoke first: "Mother, I forced her to stay. I am the one who imprisoned her and I don't want to let her go."
Madam Xiao was so shocked that she was stunned for a moment. She opened her mouth and asked, "Why is this?"
Just as he asked the question, he saw his usually well-behaved and sensible son suddenly kneel on his knees, his voice was very soft but very firm.
"My son would like to thank my mother first for finding me a good wife. I like her very much and want to spend my life with her."
Madam Xiao was shocked and said with distressed eyes: "What are you doing!"
He helped Xiao Yunchen stand up and used the handkerchief in his hand to pat the invisible dust off his robe.
Madam Xiao then looked up and asked in surprise, "So she is really Chen Fu? And that Yun Jingting, is she really Minister Yun's concubine's daughter, Yun Qiuwu?"
Xiao Yunchen nodded, his tone serious: "Mother, you must not tell anyone about this matter. Otherwise, some officials in the court will use this as an excuse to report it to the emperor. I will find an opportunity to explain this to the emperor and restore my status as sister-in-law and wife."
Madam Xiao nodded when she heard this: "It's okay to restore their status, but Shen Fu can no longer be your wife, she can only be a concubine."
Xiao Yunchen didn't expect his mother to say such a thing, and immediately said, "Mother, I don't want anyone else in my life except Sisi."
Madam Xiao raised her voice, her tone unhappy: "Why do you have to have her? She is so rude and arrogant, and she is not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy or painting. How can she be worthy of my son, who is both talented and beautiful?"
Her tone suddenly softened, and she said in a coaxing tone, "I've already found a group of noble ladies in the capital for you. Find some time to go and see them."
Madam Xiao turned around and took out a stack of portraits from the table beside her, saying what she was thinking: "That Chen Fu, if you want to stay, then stay and be a concubine. I won't make things difficult for her."
Xiao Yunchen's eyes were unhappy: "Mother didn't allow father to take a concubine, why did she allow her son to take a concubine?"
Thinking of the incident in the northwest, and the obvious difference between his wife's attitude towards him and Pei Yanli, Xiao Yunchen said resolutely: "Sisi is my legally married wife, and will be her forever! I will never take a concubine in this life, and mother does not need to bother looking at other girls. I only want Sisi in this life."
He raised his hands, bowed slightly, and then stood up straight. He said firmly, "I know you don't like Sisi and think she's unruly and rude. Don't worry. Please wait a few days. I'll take care of it."
