Chapter 41: A dog will always eat shit



Su Jingnian said, "Seeing you here, Brother Xiao, I brought my sister to say hello to you."

"After all, you and I serve in the court together, and we will be a family in the future. I must bring my sister to meet you."

Su Zhiyao acted like a little girl, walked up to Xiao Duo and bowed, "Greetings, General Xiao."

When Xu Jiusi saw Su Zhiyao, he raised his brows and stood beside Xiao Duo, looking like he was going to watch a good show.

His eyes swept over Su Zhiyao lightly, and Xiao Duo ignored these people.

Su Chengjiang looked a little embarrassed and said in a dissatisfied tone, "Xiao Duo, my sister is talking to you, why don't you reply? You are so rude!"

"He is being polite to you." Xu Jiusi said with a smile.

"Our General Xiao is not often in the capital, so it's normal that he doesn't recognize your sister."

Su Jingnian's expression was a little embarrassing, "Since he doesn't know her, why would the Duke of Zhenguo marry my sister?"

Xu Jiusi's father was the prince's tutor, and he always offended people whenever he opened his mouth.

"As far as I know, the one His Majesty has arranged to marry is the eldest daughter of the Su family."

Xu Jiusi crossed his arms and smiled at Su Jingnian nonchalantly, "Do you think you have nothing to do but get to know your other sisters?"

"Nine thoughts."

Xiao Duo said calmly: "Let's go somewhere else."

He turned around and was about to leave with Xu Jiusi, but Su Zhiyao blocked their way.

She looked at Xiao Duo with a stubborn expression on her face, "General Xiao, everyone praises you for your bravery and good fighting skills, and your good character, but you were so rude to my brother today, I really misjudged you!"

Su Zhiyao's words were so upright that others would praise her for not fearing power!

She had heard long ago that Xiao Duo never liked women who threw themselves at the general, so now she was sure that she could win the young general's heart!

Unexpectedly, after she finished speaking, Xiao Duo just looked at her coldly and said, "Are you done?"

Su Zhiyao's body was shaking as if she was slapped in the face!

Su Jingnian protected Su Zhiyao and said, "Although Zhiyao is an adopted daughter, she is also a pampered child in our Su family."

"She is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is a talented woman famous throughout the capital. I just think that a man as capable as Brother Xiao should be paired with a better woman!"

After that, Su Jingnian began to slander Su Jinyue, "How can you be interested in a woman like Su Jinyue? Not only is she good for nothing, but she also only stirs up trouble!"

"Ha ha!"

Xu Jiusi laughed out loud, "You belittle your own sister like this. This is the first time I've seen a brother like you!"

Su Jingnian frowned and said, "That's her character. I didn't mean to belittle her!"

Xu Jiusi didn't indulge him and said directly: "You are praising your adopted daughter of the Su family and belittling the legitimate daughter. You are not thinking of making our General Xiao change his mind and marry your sister!"

Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't speak this idea out loud here.

Just as Su Jingnian was about to speak, a loud roar was heard!

"Su Jingnian! What do you mean!"

Several people from the Su family turned around at the same time, and saw Xie Qingxu with a bad look on his face, and Xie Wan'er who was furious beside him!

Su Zhiyao's face changed, and before she could say anything, Xie Wan'er rushed up!

"The emperor has already issued an imperial decree to make Zhiyao my brother's second wife, and you still want to force her to marry Xiao Duo?!"

Seeing that everyone at the table was looking in their direction.

Although the banquet has not started yet, if a quarrel breaks out, it may not end well.

If she delayed today's matter, her plan would be ruined!

Su Zhiyao gritted her teeth and stepped forward to stop Xie Wan'er, "Wan'er, calm down, brother doesn't mean that!"

"Then what does he mean!" Xie Wan'er's eyes widened and she pushed Su Zhiyao, "It's just that your family wants to curry favor with the rich and powerful!"

Xie Qingxu frowned and lectured Xie Waner in a gentle tone, "Waner, don't mess around."

But Xie Wan'er was not affected by these words, and said to Su Zhiyao: "Have you also been thinking about abandoning my brother from the beginning?"

Su Jingnian's face suddenly turned ugly. All he did was for Zhiyao. How could he say that he wanted to cling to the power of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!

Su Zhiyao burst into tears and turned to look at Xie Qingxu, "Qingxu! You don't believe in my brother, you don't believe in me! You really disappoint me!!"

After saying that, her eyes turned red and she turned and ran out!

"Zhiyao!" Xie Qingxu's heart sank when he saw that he had made the girl cry. Without time to think more, he turned around and chased after her!

Seeing her brother running away with Su Zhiyao, Xie Wan'er bit her lip, glared at Su Jingnian, turned around and followed him out.

"Sister!" Su Chengjiang was equally anxious and chased after her.

Su Jingnian was furious, and could only look at Xiao Duo with cold eyes, "Brother Xiao, isn't it too inappropriate for Young Master Xu to say this?"

Xiao Duo's expression was indifferent, "What did he say wrong?"

"You!" Su Jingnian was so angry at Xiao Duo's attitude.

“Okay, okay!”

Su Jingnian felt humiliated and turned away with a flick of his sleeves!

Su Jinyue, who was sitting at the table, naturally saw what was happening with Xiao Duo.

I don’t know what they talked about. I just saw Su Zhiyao running out crying, and Xie Qingxu followed her out.

Su Jinyue looked back and happened to meet Xiao Duo's gaze.

Xiao Duo's originally expressionless face revealed a faint smile towards Su Jinyue.

Su Jinyue retracted his gaze. He could clearly see that there was a hint of sarcasm in Xiao Duo's smile.

After a while, Su Zhiyao, who was coaxed by Xie Qingxu, came back from outside with red cheeks and shy look.

Seeing Su Jinyue sitting at the table with her cloak tightly covering her face, Su Zhiyao gave Chun'er beside her a look!

When Chun'er received Su Zhiyao's gaze, she immediately understood and lowered her head.

When passing behind Su Jinyue, Chun'er pretended to trip and bumped into Xiaotao who was standing beside Su Jinyue holding a teapot!

Bang!

"ah!"

Xiaotao was caught off guard and screamed!

The teapot in her hand was spilled, and even though Xiaotao had quickly retreated two steps to protect the teapot, some tea still splashed onto Su Jinyue's cloak!

"Miss! Are you okay?" Xiao Tao quickly put down the teapot and looked at her young lady anxiously.

Xiao Tao's voice attracted the attention of many people at the table, and they all looked in their direction.

This was exactly what Su Zhiyao wanted. She stepped forward anxiously, "Sister, please take off your cloak quickly. Are you getting burned?"

"It's okay." Su Jinyue knew what Su Zhiyao was thinking and did not untie her cloak. "It just spilled on the hem of my clothes. It's okay."

But the more Su Jinyue didn't want to take off her cloak, the more Su Zhiyao wanted to make her the target of public criticism!

"Sister, don't be embarrassed. If the tea seeps into the clothes underneath, you will catch a cold." Su Zhiyao said as if she cared about Su Jinyue.

Su Jinyue still sat upright and rejected her outright, "I said, no need!"

Seeing that Su Jinyue refused to take off her cloak, Su Zhiyao stood behind her and gave Chun'er a cold look.

Chun'er immediately stepped forward and stretched out her hand to untie Su Jinyue's cloak, "Miss, this is my fault. I will put the cloak away for you!"

"What are you doing!" Xiao Tao immediately stepped forward to protect Su Jinyue, "My lady said it's not necessary!"

Jiang Caiping heard the quarreling on the other end and saw that something happened between Su Jinyue and Su Zhiyao. She quickly stood up and walked towards them, fearing that Su Jinyue would cause trouble again at this time!

"What are you two arguing about!" Jiang Caiping said.
