Without much hesitation, he agreed, "Are you serious?"
Xiao Jingrui: "Of course, we only want the lives of this family. The others have nothing to do with us. You can do whatever you want with them!"
My goodness, Xiao Jingrui would rather save the family of the village chief of Dashan Village, whom he had known for a few days, than save the people from the second branch.
Xiao Qingyu looked at the people from the eldest house in the crowd and saw that they were so powerful that they could remain invincible even against the bandits from Langya Mountain. His eyes turned red with jealousy.
"Why are you doing this? Regardless of whether our Second and First Houses are brothers or not, after all these years, don't we have any feelings for each other?"
Xiao Jingrui said coldly, "You'll have to ask your good father about this. Originally, we kept to ourselves. Even though we knew Xiao Bin's identity a long time ago, we never thought of exposing him. But over the years, we've given your second branch enough opportunities. Xiao Bin should be very clear about the confiscation of the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion. What exactly happened?"
Xiao Jingxuan continued, "Yes, I thought that after all these years, Xiao Bin at least had some conscience. If it weren't for your grandfather, your father would now be the child of a prostitute, and would be despised wherever he went. Our Wu'an Marquis Mansion gave you a place to settle down, but Xiao Bin and the mysterious man framed our Wu'an Marquis Mansion to this point."
Xiao Jingrui: "We, the people of the first house, have never owed you anything. If we owe you anything, it is you, the ungrateful people of the second house, who owe our Xiao family."
After hearing what the two brothers said, everyone in the second house looked at Xiao Bin.
After seeing Xiao Bin's evasive eyes, everyone realized that what the brothers Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan said was true.
No matter what, Wang was a daughter of an official. Although she didn't live a life of luxury, at least she had never suffered any hardship.
But now we have returned to the time before liberation. Xiao Bin had always said that this matter was the responsibility of the eldest branch of the Xiao family, so everyone believed it.
Now tell them that the second house is living such a miserable life, and it was actually Xiao Bin who did it. All this is the fault of the people in the second house. How can Wang bear it?
She turned her head and looked at Xiao Bin with red eyes, "Why? I just want to ask you why. Weren't the days before good?"
Xiao Bin didn't expect that everyone in the first house already knew what he had done.
Now he saw everyone in the second house, his wife, concubine, son and daughter, all looking at him with disappointment.
Xiao Bin's defenses were completely broken. "There's no reason. They just say it in a high-sounding way. Don't forget when we were in the capital, the people from the first house looked down on us from the second house. Just because of my mother's status, you people from the first house never gave us from the second house a good face."
"Even when we split up the family business, my father simply gave me a few remote shops and the house we live in now, and dismissed us so casually. Regardless of whether he's his biological son or not, I'm still his son in name, right? Why should I be treated any differently?"
Yun Ruoxi sneered, "Do you really think you're so shameless? Everyone knows you're not their biological son. It was only because they were soft-hearted back then, thinking you'd have trouble living with a mother of such a bad reputation, that they reluctantly allowed you into the family tree. But now you're so heartless. How can a biological son and an adopted son compare to them?"
Mu Ruxue: "Exactly. Mingmin already has a son, and it's good enough that she adopted you. You've already known your own status, right? But you're just greedy for wealth and glory. You've already got enough, but you still covet things that don't belong to you. Greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant."
Xiao Bin's little trick was immediately exposed by her two best friends. Even with her hands tied behind her back, she excitedly knelt and took a few steps forward, her eyes red as she roared, "You two little girls, what do you know? From the beginning, I had no idea of my identity. So when I saw that my father was cold to me but so kind to my eldest brother, I was filled with jealousy."
"One day, a mysterious man in black appeared and asked me to cooperate with him. He told me my true identity. In fact, I am not the biological son of Marquis Wu'an at all. That's why my father treats me and my elder brother differently. I will never be able to inherit the title of Marquis Wu'an in this lifetime."
"I struggled at first, but when I saw your eldest wife's condescending attitude, I felt uncomfortable. Why am I the only one suffering? People in your eldest wife's family can live a fulfilling life! I won't accept it!!!"
"So, when the man in black approached me, I agreed without much hesitation."
Wang listened from the side and said angrily, "Master, you want to take revenge on the people of the first house. Go ahead and do it. Everyone in the village supports you. But how can you let the people of the second house accompany the people of the first house into exile?"
Upon learning this, Xiao Bin became angry. "That man in black deceived me. He originally said that only the people from the first house would be exiled, and he would find a way to protect the people from the second house. But I don't know what happened, and it turned out like this."
Zhao sneered, "That wasn't an accident at all. It was clearly because the people in your second branch were stupid and were taken advantage of without even realizing it. Now all this is your own fault, you can't blame anyone else."
Where is the Wang family's previous arrogance now?
Knowing that the people from the second house had offended the people from the first house badly, if they wanted them to save them, they had to say some soft words.
"Sister-in-law, we were wrong before. We were deceived by the villain. Please save our lives."
Zhao turned away with a cold expression and stopped talking.
Even if Wang said something soft now, Zhao would not be soft-hearted anymore.
A large part of the reason why the Wu'an Marquis Mansion has reached its current state can be attributed to the second house.
Seeing his wife begging the people from the first house, Xiao Bin felt ashamed. "Wang, who told you to beg them? Shut up, you're not allowed to beg."
Xiao Jingrui: "Your second-house people are tough, so naturally they don't need us to be generous and rescue them. Whether they live or die has nothing to do with us."
Xiao Qingyu sat down on the raft in a daze, no longer having the arrogance he had before.
"How could this happen? How could this happen? I don't believe it, it must be fake."
Li Ergou was beside Xiao Qingyu. When he heard what she said, he knew that most of what they had heard about the second house during this period was probably false.
For a moment, Liu Ergou felt a little regretful. If he had known this would be the result, he should have tried to curry favor with the people from the eldest branch of the Xiao family.
