Chapter 560 Tang'er, please forgive her. I'll have her reflect on her actions behind closed doors.
Because Xiao Xian was also there, upon hearing his reprimand, he immediately turned to look at the mother and son.
"What?"
Xiao Xian was quite surprised.
"What nonsense is this? Wasn't it said that something strange happened in Tang'er's courtyard, bringing her bad luck?"
Perhaps he genuinely believed that this was the truth.
But looking at the mother and son, he suddenly felt that the truth was not so.
He stared at his wife.
His eyes showed both confusion and disbelief.
He suddenly realized that he might have been scammed?
Madam Xiao glared fiercely at her son.
Is this the kind of thing you can just say out loud?
She was furious.
Xiao Yichen remained unmoved, explaining expressionlessly even after being glared at: "Father, it was Mother who wanted to harm Sixth Sister. She clearly invited people from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect to harm her on purpose."
"What?"
Xiao Xian raised his voice.
Upon hearing this, Madam Xiao stomped her feet, feeling an urge to strangle her son.
Why did you have to spout such nonsense?
She was furious.
Xiao Yichen didn't even blink, and said, "You shouldn't have the heart to harm others, especially not your sixth sister. Father, you should educate Mother properly."
Xiao Xian was even angrier.
When he found out about this, he was so angry that he trembled all over.
"You actually...you actually...!"
Madam Xiao was torn between being angry with her son or immediately begging Xiao Xian for forgiveness.
With no other choice, she pulled Xiao Xian aside and apologized, "I was wrong, I was really wrong, sir, please don't be angry. It's not good for your health if you get angry."
"Come back with me!"
After Xiao Xian finished his angry rebuke, he thought of something and turned to Xiao Yichen, saying, "Yichen, you clean up this mess. I'll go back and teach your mother a lesson."
Xiao Yichen remained expressionless.
Madam Xiao was filled with utter despair.
She couldn't understand why her son, whom she had carried for ten months, would inexplicably side with someone else.
Where has she, her own mother, been placed?
She was absolutely furious!
After the noisy couple left, Xiao Yichen heard a cracking sound coming from the firelight.
Suddenly, he heard a guard beside him exclaim, "General, look!"
He lowered his gaze and looked in the direction the guard was pointing.
The master, who had been as still as a sculpture, suddenly burst into flames, his bones and joints cracking and popping in the firelight.
This scene shocked everyone.
Even the servants who were putting out the fire stopped what they were doing, staring at the scene before them in disbelief.
What... is going on?
With an eerie speed, the flames burned out, leaving only a pile of charred corpses.
"General, this is too strange."
"Put out the fire first." Xiao Yichen lowered his eyes, a cold glint in them.
He gained a new understanding of Xiao Tang's abilities.
In the past, the Myriad Demons Sect was shrouded in mystery among the people, which made them respect the sect and treat them like gods.
They mistakenly believed that the Ten Thousand Demons Sect was an omnipotent entity.
From a young age, he had doubts about this matter.
Now it seems that's really true.
He turned away with a flick of his sleeve.
Xiao Tang and Xiao Bao entered Xiao Lengshuang's courtyard together.
Xiao Lengshuang was waiting at the courtyard gate early on. She had heard about the situation there beforehand, and sure enough, she saw them there.
She came forward and said, "I knew that wicked stepmother would arrange for my sixth sister to stay with me."
Upon hearing his sister's words, Xiao Yiran hurriedly looked around.
He glared at his sister warningly, "Don't say anything out of line here. If someone hears you, that woman will kick you out of the manor again."
"If she kicks me out of the manor, so be it. Do you think I'm afraid of her?" Xiao Lengshuang snorted.
She took Xiao Tang's hand with one hand and Xiao Bao's hand with the other.
"Ignore Third Brother, he's a coward. Let's go back to the room and rest."
Xiao Yiran was completely ignored by his two younger sisters, and his lips twitched in speechless exasperation.
He should have left with peace of mind, but looking at his two younger sisters' retreating figures, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
This is the first time something like this has happened tonight...
But he had a vague feeling that this would happen countless more times.
He must stop these things from happening!
...
Xiao Tang went inside, tidied up a bit, and patted Xiao Bao to lull her to sleep.
"Mother, those bad guys won't come again tonight, right?"
Xiao Bao gently rubbed against her hand.
Like a little kitten.
"Don't worry, we'll kill one if one comes, and two if two come. Mother won't let him harm Xiaobao."
"I can't let them hurt Mother either!" Xiao Bao yelled angrily.
Xiao Bao found his mother's words very helpful.
And so, she fell asleep.
Seeing Xiao Bao fast asleep and blowing bubbles, Xiao Tang felt much better.
Of course, this matter is not over yet.
She and Xiaobao almost died in the fire. If they hadn't found the talisman, they probably would have been asleep and unconscious in the flames.
Madam Xiao is truly ruthless.
At first, that gentle and tender demeanor was acted so well.
...
Xiao Yichen arrived at his parents' courtyard.
I happened to hear them arguing.
"I've already told you, we owe Tang'er too much, why would you want her dead?"
"I didn't! I cherish her too much to possibly harm her."
The two were arguing loudly.
The sound echoed throughout the entire courtyard.
Xiao Yichen paused to the side, but did not go in.
"General, aren't you going to stop it?"
Xiao Yichen made a shushing gesture.
