Chapter 24: Family Quarrel
The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang turned pale instantly. Why did Xiao Fuguang speak so harshly? She stood up in anger.
"you…………"
Xiao Fuguang held the teacup and looked at her calmly.
"Am I wrong?"
"Or perhaps, Madam, your family has military merits that could allow the Emperor to grant you a divorce decree."
Second sister is so awesome, Xiao Fushu looked at Xiao Fuguang with admiration.
Wang Zhaowen was so angry that he looked at Xiao Fushu coldly.
"Xiao Fushu, are you just going to let your sister talk back to your future mother-in-law?"
"Do you still want to enter the Yongchang Marquis Mansion in the future?"
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as this. The Wang family is comparable to the Gu family. Xiao Fuguang glared at Wang Zhaowen.
"It seems that the prince's ears are not working well. I just said that my daughter is from the Xiao family. Even if your Wang family kneels down, it will not be your turn."
Then he looked at Madam Xiao.
"Mother, I want to eat the plum blossom pastry you made today. Why don't you take Liu Yue down to make it for me?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Fuguang.
"Fu Guang..."
Liu Yue had already walked to Madam Xiao and helped her up.
"Madam, I miss the plum blossom pastries you make. I'll help you make them. Once you're done, will you give me two pieces as a reward?"
She had never made any plum blossom pastry at all. She was just afraid that Liu Yue wanted to tell her something important. Never mind, her daughter had grown up and was capable of handling things on her own. Madam Xiao let Liu Yue help her down.
Seeing that Madam Xiao left without even saying goodbye, the wife of Marquis Yongchang was filled with anger.
"Madam Xiao, do you really look down upon the Yongchang Marquisate?"
Xiao Fuguang calmly put down the teacup.
"Madam, aren't my sister-in-law and I still here?"
"You are the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang, after all. Isn't it impolite to shout and yell in someone else's house like this?"
The wife of Marquis Yongchang was left speechless by Xiao Fuguang's words. Her face turned pale and blue. She gritted her teeth and tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart.
"This lady has taken note of what happened today. The Xiao family is so ungrateful. Don't regret it in the future."
After saying that, he walked out.
"Zhao Wen, let's go..."
Xiao Fuguang spoke in a cold voice.
"etc."
"Someone, close the gate of the Xiao family for me."
The wife of Marquis Yongchang turned around and looked at Xiao Fuguang with disbelief in her eyes.
"You, the Xiao family, are going to rebel against the heavens, and you still dare to stop me?"
Xiao Fuguang spoke calmly.
"Since the Madam is here today, it would be better to clarify the marriage between our two families."
"Madam, you've already wasted so much time. Why not spend another cup of tea?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhaowen looked at Xiao Fuguang and spoke.
"What? Do you regret it now?"
"Do you know that it is the best choice for your Xiao family's daughter to marry into the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion?"
"I tell you, it's too late to regret now."
"If you want to enter the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion, you must agree to what I propose today, and you must have a beautiful wedding dress. Otherwise, the girl from your Xiao family will not be able to enter the gate of the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion."
The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang also raised her chin with a proud look on her face, acting as if she was very powerful.
Xiao Fushu held Xiao Fuguang's hand.
"Sister, I'm not getting married, please don't make it difficult for me."
At this time, Liu Yue came in with a piece of paper.
Xiao Fuguang patted Fushu's hand.
Then he took the paper handed to him by Liu Yue and spoke after looking at where to look.
"Your Yongchang Marquis Mansion isn't trying to raise a child for my cousin, but rather to make the concubine's son the eldest son, right?"
Upon hearing this, the wife of Marquis Yongchang looked at Wang Zhaowen and was suddenly shocked.
Then the wife of Marquis Yongchang spoke loudly.
"What else are you talking about?"
Xiao Fuguang held the paper in his hand, stood up and walked a few steps towards Wang Zhaowen, looked at his face, and spoke with a smile.
"Your good cousin is five months pregnant, right? You two have been together for a long time. You have a bastard son before your wife even enters the house. Even a well-known family would not accept this. So your Yongchang Marquis Mansion made up a story about a woman who married far away and lost her husband, hoping to make my sister swallow this half-baked rice."
How did she know that? Wang Zhaowen was startled.
"Don't slander me here. I just feel sorry for my cousin. Do you think everyone else is like you, the Xiao family, without any mercy or tolerance?"
Seeing his cunning look, Xiao Fuguang continued to look into his eyes and spoke.
"There's a courtyard in the northern suburbs where you keep a child. She's pregnant now, but the girl's birth wasn't very healthy... She must be a singing girl from a brothel!"
Lin Qingwan and Xiao Fusu looked at Xiao Fuguang in shock.
The wife of Marquis Yongchang looked at Wang Zhaowen in shock.
"Zhao Wen, you......"
“You’re so…”
Wang Zhaowen spoke hurriedly.
"Mother, don't listen to her nonsense. She was probably divorced by the Gu family..."
Noticing Xiao Fuguang's cold gaze, Wang Zhaowen quickly changed his words.
"Maybe she's divorced and is deliberately talking nonsense to mess up her sister's marriage."
He knew his own son well. Every time he lied, his eyes would avoid him and he couldn't help but reach out and pinch the corner of his sleeve.
The wife of Marquis Yongchang glared at him, then looked at Xiao Fuguang and spoke.
"Miss Xiao, please don't talk nonsense without any evidence. You cannot sully the reputation of the Yongchang Marquisate."
Xiao Fuguang smiled calmly.
"The two things I just mentioned are not difficult to check, are they, ma'am?"
The wife of Marquis Yongchang looked at Xiao Fuguang for a moment.
"What do you want?"
Xiao Fuguang spoke slowly.
"This is the third time I've spoken. My Xiao family's daughter will not marry into your Wang family."
Wang Zhaowen spoke after hearing this.
"You want to cancel the engagement just for such a trivial matter?"
The wife of Marquis Yongchang looked at Xiao Fushu.
"It's very difficult for a woman whose engagement has been broken off to find another husband."
"Are you going to let your sister make the decision for you regarding such a big matter? She's a divorced woman."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fushu stood beside Xiao Fuguang.
"I don't listen to my sister, so how can I listen to you treacherous villains?"
Tsk tsk tsk, my little sister has grown up and now knows how to argue with people. Xiao Fuguang listened with a smile in his eyes.
He looked at the wife of Marquis Yongchang and spoke.
"It wasn't your Wang family that broke off the engagement, it was our Xiao family that broke off the engagement."
Then he looked at Wang Zhaowen.
"My Xiao family cannot look down upon someone as heartless and ungrateful as the prince."
Wang Zhaowen was so angry that he pointed at Xiao Fuguang again.
"You... they say it's better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage. You're being immoral."
Xiao Fuguang glanced at the mother and son calmly.
"When the two families discussed the marriage, they exchanged tokens. Tomorrow, I will bring Fushu to your house to retrieve the token. I hope you will return it, otherwise..."
The look in his eyes as if he wanted to kill someone was what he looked for.
Xiao Fuguang even smiled.
"Otherwise, I guarantee that the news that your Yongchang Marquis's son got my cousin pregnant and kept a prostitute will spread throughout the imperial city. By then, it will be difficult for him to marry a noble lady."
