In fact, Li Nian didn't want to do this unless it was the last moment.
After all, Xiao Yunyu and Xiao Yunchen are brothers. If she takes people to the Marquis' Mansion to snatch someone away, regardless of whether she can succeed, it will definitely have a great impact on Xiao Yunyu's reputation.
Because she and Sisi faked their own deaths and left, the two brothers of the Xiao family had been ridiculed behind their backs. Now that she was bringing Xiao Yunyu's men to the Marquis' Mansion to snatch people away, rumors would spread that the brothers of the Xiao family were not in harmony.
However, if Xiao Yunchen goes too far, don't blame her for disregarding her feelings.
In the master bedroom of Jinxiu Residence in the Xiao Mansion.
Li Sisi lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Suddenly, Xiao Yunchen's voice rang out: "Sister, can't you sleep? Do you want me to read you a storybook?"
"No need!" Li Sisi glanced at the man lying on the wooden couch.
The wooden couch was not long enough for her to lie flat and stretch her legs. Xiao Yunchen was so tall that she could only bend her legs at this time.
He lay on his side, looking towards the bed.
Their eyes met unexpectedly, and Li Sisi quickly looked away and continued to stare at the ceiling of the bed.
I don’t know how Nian Nian is doing?
Just as I was thinking this, I heard the voice of the system.
[Host, Nian Nian, the host asked, does she need to lead people to break into the Xiao Mansion and snatch the person?]
Li Sisi's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she quickly replied, "No need! Tell her I'm not in danger right now. That bastard Xiao Yunchen wouldn't dare do anything to me. I'll find a way to escape when I get the chance, and then I'll reunite with Nian Nian."
The system suggested, "Host, your current attitude of resistance is incorrect. I think you should feign obedience first, letting Xiao Yunchen let down his guard, and then suddenly seize the opportunity to escape!"
Li Sisi raised an eyebrow: [You, a system, know a lot?]
The system said bluntly, "I learned this from my previous hosts. They were so adept at playing with men!"
We are nothing like you two, who won’t do this or that!
The system wisely chose not to say the rest of the sentence.
Li Sisi curled her lips. She could clearly feel that the system disliked her!
Oh! The cool system at the beginning is still better!
Although she is aloof and doesn't like to talk to people, she never says she is not good enough, either overtly or covertly.
A continuous drizzle lasted most of the night.
The next morning, the sun was exceptionally bright and clear.
In the courtyard of Yunjingting, many flower buds bloomed with the most beautiful colors after one night.
Lord Xiao took a day off on purpose and got up early in the morning. He chose a robe with dark blue patterns, wore brocade deerskin boots, and held a sandalwood folding fan in his hand.
There is an agarwood scented sachet around the waist.
The black hair on the top of the head was tied up tightly with a gold and jade inlaid crown.
He took two personal servants with him and excitedly got in the carriage towards Yunjingting.
Li Nian had just finished breakfast and was taking a walk by the waterside pavilion on the north side of the central courtyard to digest his food. Jinhe had been held by Yu Niang and Xiao Ying in their small courtyard since early in the morning and was playing there.
When Yun Erniang woke up and saw Jinhe, she was overjoyed. At that time, she was playing with her granddaughter in the yard.
When Li Nian heard the servant report that Marquis Xiao had arrived, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
To be honest, Li Nian was not afraid of loudmouthed people like Madam Xiao, but was afraid of serious and dignified people like Marquis Xiao.
Before, she and Sisi traveled through time and space and only lived in Marquis Xiao's mansion for more than a month. She didn't meet Marquis Xiao very often and only met him a few times.
Li Nian was not familiar with this person at all.
There is not much description about Lord Xiao in the original book. It only says that he is affectionate and loyal. He has only one wife, Madam Xiao, in his mansion and has no concubines. He also does not like to spend his time in debauchery outside.
However, there is no description of other characters.
In the living room on the first floor of the Glazed Pavilion, Li Nian bowed respectfully: "This humble girl greets the Marquis."
"Commoner girl?" Lord Xiao looked Li Nian up and down, then waved his hand to let the other servants in the living room leave.
Although Li Nian's heart was filled with doubts, he remained calm and asked, "I wonder if the Marquis has come here in person to give you any advice?"
Lord Xiao sat calmly at the top seat, but his eyes were fixed on Li Nian.
After a while, he said bluntly: "You don't have to play tricks on me. Chen Fu has already returned to the Marquis' Mansion. As Yu'er's wife, do you plan to stay out like this forever?"
Without waiting for Li Nian to speak, he continued, "You can disregard your own reputation and allow those people in the capital to look down on you, but my granddaughter is the legitimate granddaughter of the Marquis's family, and I will not tolerate others looking down on her in the slightest!"
At this point, his tone became powerful and majestic, and he asked, "Where is my granddaughter? Where is she? Bring her here so I can see her."
Li Nian was shocked when he heard this.
Things always happened much earlier than she expected.
Secretly suppressing his nervousness and panic, Li Nian said calmly, "My Lord, you misunderstood. That child is not the Crown Prince's."
Marquis Xiao's eyes darkened slightly, and he looked at her unhappily with his eyelids raised: "Whether it is true or not, bring her here and let me take a look."
"inconvenient."
Hearing her answer, Lord Xiao snorted coldly, "Is it inconvenient or you don't dare? Yun Qiuwu, I came here today to see that child."
Li Nian was firm: "That child is not Ayu's. You don't need to see him."
"What if I absolutely must see him?" Lord Xiao suddenly stood up, his face furious, and shouted, "Someone, bring the child to me!"
Xiaobai walked in at this time, looked at Li Nian, and asked in a questioning tone: "Madam?"
Seeing this, Lord Xiao's eyes were sharp and stern. "How come I, the head of the family, can't order you servants around in Yunjing Court?"
"This..." Xiaobai was embarrassed. "The master said that when we return to the capital, everything must be arranged by the mistress."
Lord Xiao was so angry that his chest heaved and he slammed his hand on the table.
"You are rebelling! I am your master's biological father!" Marquis Xiao stood up suddenly, his face full of anger and shame for being ignored and despised.
At this time, another servant came to the gate of Liuli Pavilion to report that the lady of the Yun family had come to ask for Yun Er Niang to go back.
When Lord Xiao heard this, surprise flashed across his eyes, and then instantly turned into anger.
He asked in a tone of voice, "That Yun Erniang is here too?"
Xiaobai glanced at Li Nian.
Li Nian knew that she couldn't escape this incident today, so she took the opportunity to let Madam Yun in to prevent Marquis Xiao from holding on to the matter of Jinhe.
So he said, "Go and invite the person in!"
