Chapter 221 Asking the Third Miss of the Xiao Family to Come Forward
The Queen Mother's face darkened when she heard this.
"Let's talk about it later."
"Don't serve me here anymore. I'm tired. Go down and rest."
Yao Zhaoyi stopped what she was doing, stood up and saluted respectfully.
"yes."
As soon as she turned around, a gleam flashed in her eyes. The Queen Mother was indeed opposed to the words "Regent's Palace". There was no need to rush. Since she had already entered the Shou'an Palace, there were plenty of opportunities to investigate slowly.
Wuzhou.
Xiao Fuguang raised his hand to tidy up Xuanyuan Jing's clothes.
"It's snowing already, be careful on your way."
"I'll be waiting for you to come back to celebrate the New Year in the Imperial City."
The Chinese New Year is just one month away. Basically, he will just go to the fiefdom, exchange identities with Gu Ying, and then rush back immediately. Xuanyuan Jing reached out and held Xiao Fuguang's hand.
"Don't worry, I will come back to spend the New Year with you."
Then he began to remind him.
"I've walked this road between the fiefdom and the imperial city many times. I'm already familiar with it. There won't be any danger."
"As for you, you must be careful in everything after returning to the Imperial City."
Xiao Fuguang smiled.
"I didn't realize that the prince's words were so poisonous before."
"At least I am the Princess Regent. At worst, I still have the identity of the eldest daughter of the Imperial Master's Mansion. I only have one month, so I can protect myself."
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Jing reached out and held her in his arms.
"Don't confront Prince Rong head-on. He'll do anything to get what he wants."
Xiao Fuguang rested his head on his chest and put his arms around his waist.
"good."
The couple hugged each other for a while before reluctantly separating.
Xiao Fuguang led Xuanyuan Jing outside. When they walked out of the courtyard gate, Xiu Ming was already waiting with the horse.
Xiao Fuguang watched Xuanyuan Jing climb onto the horse and waved goodbye reluctantly.
Xuanyuan Jing looked at the smile on her face, but his expression was complicated.
Finally waved to her.
"come over."
Xiao Fuguang walked forward, somewhat confused.
Xuanyuan Jing had already reached out to hold the back of her head, bent down and kissed her lips.
Xiu Ming quickly turned his back and didn't dare to look.
Liu Yue put his hands up to cover his eyes, but couldn't help but spread his fingers to leave a gap.
Killed the dog.
Xiao Fuguang didn't expect that he would kiss him in front of Xiu Ming and Liu Yue. His eyes widened at first, and then he closed his eyes shyly.
Their lips and teeth were pressed against each other, and he took away all the breath in her mouth. Xiao Fuguang couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and respond to his kiss.
After the kiss, Xuanyuan Jing looked at Xiao Fuguang's shy expression, and his mood brightened. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly, "Wait for me in the Imperial City."
Xiao Fuguang nodded with a red face and whispered.
"Have a safe journey."
Xuanyuan Jing tightened the reins, the sound of horse hooves rang out, and he led the group away gradually until they disappeared from sight.
Xiao Fuguang stood there, looking at the receding figure, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his lips.
Liu Yue laughed and joked on the side.
"Princess, are you still looking? The prince has already walked away."
"Don't be sad, Princess. We will be reunited in a month, and we can kiss each other all the time then."
When Xiao Fuguang heard this, his face turned red and he reached out to pat Liuyue.
"You've gotten really bold, haven't you? You even dare to tease this princess."
Liu Yue spoke with a smile.
"Yes, I won't dare to do that next time."
"But just now the prince and princess were so affectionate."
Xiao Fuguang's face turned even redder when he thought about how Xuanyuan Jing had kissed him in public.
"How dare you say that to me, Princess? Didn't someone bring you a gift too?"
"This is the first time in the world that I've seen a subordinate ask his master to help bring a gift to someone he likes."
"Tell me, when are you going to ask Jiang Yuan to propose marriage? This way, I can prepare your dowry."
Now it was Liu Yue's turn to feel shy, and she couldn't help but stamp her feet.
"Oh, miss."
The lady is shouting, it seems she is anxious.
Xiao Fuguang smiled.
"Okay, I won't argue with you anymore. Let's prepare to return to the Imperial City. If you don't go back, I'm afraid Master won't be able to find an excuse."
At this time, at the door of the national teacher.
Two people were shivering in the snow. Although it was not snowing, the snow had not melted yet, and their lips were misty purple.
"Fuguang, Second Uncle begs you, please go see Second Uncle. Second Uncle really has no other choice. Your cousin is seriously ill now. If he doesn't get treatment, he will die."
"Our Xiao family is dwindling. If your father is still alive, he wouldn't watch you seize the family property of the Marquisate and ignore your own uncle. He certainly wouldn't watch you disregard the lives of your closest relatives for a little bit of property."
The woman even kowtowed at the entrance of the Imperial Master's Mansion.
"Fuguang, Second Aunt is begging you, if you only give me a little money, I will let Second Uncle and Second Aunt hire a doctor for your cousin. From now on, Second Uncle and Second Aunt will serve you like slaves."
"Fu Nian's illness is already very serious. He thinks that the Xiao family is small and you are married to the Regent. If your family doesn't have a promising brother, he is afraid that you will be bullied in the future."
"So he has been studying day and night for the past two years. This winter is cold, and we don't have much money to buy charcoal for heating. Your cousin caught a cold. We used the little money we had to buy medicine for him, but he hasn't gotten any better."
"We really have no other choice, so we come to you for help. Second Aunt, please, I kowtow to you, please give some money to your dear second uncle and aunt to save your cousin's life."
People soon gathered at the gate of the Imperial Master's Mansion and began pointing and talking.
"What's going on?"
"Look at these two people kneeling, why do they look like they are from the Xiao family!"
"Which Xiao family is this?"
"Which other Xiao family could it be? Isn't this Imperial Master's disciple the Xiao family's second daughter, Xiao Fuguang?"
"But if these two people need help, why don't they go to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's residence? What are they doing here at the Imperial Master's residence?"
The two people kneeling on the ground naturally heard the people's discussions.
Xiao Yiming cried loudly.
"Fuguang, Second Uncle is really desperate. Second Uncle has already been to the Marquis' Mansion, but was driven out by your sister. Second Uncle begs you, please open the door and see Second Uncle. Second Uncle wants one hundred taels of silver, not just fifty taels. After curing your cousin's illness, Second Uncle will go out and do hard labor to repay you. Your cousin is really dying of illness."
The onlookers were even more surprised.
"He actually went to the Marquis' Mansion and was kicked out."
"This is not surprising. Remember? The second branch of the Xiao family severed ties with the first branch."
"The relationship has already been severed, so there's no point in giving money."
But there were also people who spoke on Xiao Yiming's side.
"But after all, you can't write two Xiao characters with one stroke. If someone really is sick, you wouldn't just stand by and watch, right?"
"Yes, even if they are ordinary people, even if there is a conflict, they will help each other in a life-or-death situation. It seems that they just want money to treat their family members. If the princess is indifferent, it would be a bit cruel."
"Yes, after the Marquis of Zhongyong passed away, the family business fell into the hands of my daughter. I didn't expect that the princess would not even give the money for the second wife's medical treatment. This is a bit too much."
In the Imperial Master's Mansion.
Fuan spoke to the Imperial Master anxiously.
"Master, what should we do? There are more and more people watching outside. They just want a hundred taels of silver, right? Why don't we give it to them?"
The Imperial Master raised his hand and counted on his fingers.
"It's not silver they want."
Fuan spoke doubtfully.
"But they keep saying they need money for medical treatment!"
A hint of coldness flashed in Yun Wuhen's eyes.
"They want to force the young lady out. Fu Guang hasn't appeared in public for too long, and some people are starting to test her."
The eldest lady was not in the house at all, and Fu'an became anxious.
"So what can we do?"
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Master pondered for a moment.
"Take one hundred taels of silver and give it to them. Tell them that the young lady is at a critical juncture in her research on Southern Xinjiang Gu techniques and is about to find a way to break the Southern Xinjiang love Gu. If they continue to cause trouble and disrupt her research, the Empress will investigate and they won't be able to bear the consequences."
"Also, quickly send someone to the Xiao family and ask the Third Miss of the Xiao family to handle the matter."
