Chapter 136: The Governor’s Son
Governor Xiao was driven out and stood pitifully at the gate of the courtyard, holding his small quilt and pillow.
He should be thankful that it was summer now and he only needed to hold a single piece of cotton cloth and a cool pillow, which was not too ugly.
Xiao Douzi stood aside looking up at the sky in silence. He knew that this day would come sooner or later.
But he just couldn't understand.
Why can his smart and powerful leader scare a group of desperate criminals in Dongchang but cannot scare his own wife?
Madam is indeed more fierce than the average woman...
Well, it's a lot more fierce.
But his family's governor should be so strong that he cannot defeat him, so why would he be so humble and cowardly?
Her family is not powerful and she has no support. Is it difficult for the governor to control his wife?
Thinking about Ye Xiao who was being led by Xu Qinglan, Xiao Douzi secretly told himself not to get emotional.
Love is definitely poisonous. Once you get involved in it, not only will your eyes and heart become blind, but your IQ will also degenerate.
Seeing that his wife was determined not to keep him, Xiao Yuan could only leave in disappointment, holding the quilt. While walking towards Ye Xiao's yard, he thought about what his wife had said.
Twelve, this guy really likes Qinglan
It's no wonder that he had never thought about it in this aspect before because no one had broken the window paper. Now that he thought about it, he immediately discovered many overlooked details.
According to the generation division, the twelve should call Qinglan aunt, but this boy keeps calling her sister.
No wonder that not long after Qinglan followed Concubine Jin to Nanshan Temple to worship Buddha, this boy impatiently begged him to transfer over.
He thought...
Damn, it turns out that everything has a traceable origin, but he is too slow in feelings and has never thought about it in this way.
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought about Twelve's temperament being very similar to his.
The less easily moved a person is, the more persistent they become once they are moved. If Twelve was as obsessed with Qinglan as he was with his wife, their relationship would have ended there.
He could not allow any unstable factor with malicious intentions towards his wife to stay in the house.
But after all, this was the child he had brought up with him for so many years, and he couldn't bear to send Twelve away unless it was absolutely necessary.
When Xiao Yuan first saw Ye Twelve, the child was only eight years old, his body covered with bruises and scars. He was sitting next to a corpse with a fierce look in his eyes and no fear at all.
The person who was killed was an old eunuch. Her two eyes had turned into bloody holes, and a worn-out wooden hairpin was stuck in one of her eyes. The surroundings were a mess with traces of rolling around.
This scene seemed to coincide with what happened to him as a child. Xiao Yuan felt pity for the child and reached out his hand to the child whose eyes looked very similar to his.
At that time, Governor Xiao was still an 18-year-old young boy. He followed his adoptive father's example and saved a child but had no intention of adopting him as his son.
He was busy with his job, so Twelve spent more time serving his adoptive father and fulfilling his filial duties on his behalf.
At that time, Xu Qinglan often stayed with them. Although they had different surnames, they really felt like a family.
Originally, he heard Twelve Guan Qinglan call him sister and told him to just call her brother, but he didn't expect that the little wolf cub was so persistent and insisted on calling him godfather.
Just be my godfather.
It was a little awkward at first, but as he grew older, he got used to it and developed some affection for Twelve.
Xiao Yuan knew Ye Twelve's temper very well. If he had a conflict with someone, it was most likely that he was the one who started it first.
But Governor Xiao was unwilling to help and protected his relatives, which only encouraged Ye Twelve's arrogance.
Unfortunately, this time the kid hit a wall. Whether from the perspective of helping his relatives or helping his family, he was completely defeated.
At this moment, my leg was in a splint and I was sweating all over from the pain, but I could only lie in bed, helpless and furious.
The maidservant who served Ye Xiao was squatting on the ground picking up the thrown things, when she suddenly saw the governor standing at the door and hurriedly saluted.
When Ye Xiao saw his godfather coming, he was happy at first, but he felt puzzled when he saw what his godfather was holding in his hand.
Xiao Yuan waved his hand to let the person go out, and threw the pillow and quilt he was holding onto the couch.
"Don't guess, thanks to you, your father got your stepmother out.
It's your father's fault for not raising you properly. Madam asked me to sleep with you and teach you how to behave."
Ye Xiao's eyes widened immediately, "How dare that woman!"
With a slap, Xiao Yuanlingkong slapped Ye Xiao in the face.
"I thought you would be more restrained after learning your lesson, but I didn't expect that you haven't improved at all. It looks like your leg is broken in vain.
You can move out in a few days, and you don't have to call me godfather anymore."
Ye Xiao was completely panicked now. He didn't care about his leg injury and jumped out of bed and wanted to hug Xiao Yuan's thigh.
"Father, father, don't you want me anymore?
Why
Is it possible that our ten years of father-son relationship is not as good as the new woman?
"Father, you loved me so much before, but you are going to abandon me just because I didn't get along with that woman."
Xiao Yuan looked at the confused Ye Xiao and picked him up with disgust and threw him back on the bed.
"It seems that I have been too tolerant of you in the past, and you are so ignorant and stupid that you don't even know your place.
Madam is my first wife, married through a formal marriage. Since you acknowledge me as your father, she is your stepmother by right and reasonableness.
You used to serve my stepfather, but when have you ever seen us brothers yell at my stepmother?
That woman even attacked my wife. I cannot have a good son like you who is so filial and obedient."
Xiao Yuan's words were like a wake-up call that finally woke Ye Xiao up. He was too self-conscious.
In his opinion, his adoptive father and sister Qinglan are his family, and Jiang Xinyu is just an outsider who accidentally intrudes.
But now it seems that my adoptive father doesn't think so. He thinks that he and that woman are a family.
No, that's not right.
Ye Xiao held onto Xiao Yuan's clothes tightly, with a look of confusion in his eyes.
"Father, didn't you teach me before?
People outside are different from those who come out of our palace. How can you really treat her as a family member?
Sister Qinglan is our family. We have lived together for so many years, and only sister Qinglan accepts us from the bottom of her heart.
Marriage is just a piece of paper and a ceremony. How can there be any affection between people who have just met for a short time?
If godfather is angry that I didn't give you face, then I know I was wrong and it was me who was inconsiderate.
I have absolutely no intention of disobeying my adoptive father, but, just..."
"It's just that you don't recognize Madam as your stepmother."
Xiao Yuan pulled back the corner of his clothes and said coldly,
"You are one year older than my wife, and I won't force you to be my stepmother even if you don't want to.
But I cannot allow someone who has ill intentions towards my wife to stay in the house.
12. Don’t use your knowledge and thoughts to speculate my feelings.
I don't accept that Xu Qinglan has nothing to do with Madam, I just simply don't like her.
I didn’t like it before, I don’t like it now, and I won’t like it in the future.
When she first tried to match me up with someone, my wife wasn't there, and I turned her down anyway.
My stepfather didn't force me to marry someone I didn't like, but you, as his son, are interfering with me.
I can tell you clearly that I just like my wife, even if she has a lot of shortcomings, I still like her.
Your sister Lan is so good, you should just keep her as your own sister and don't force her on me.
You should be thankful that you were the one who suffered the loss. If it was your wife who was injured, both of your legs would have been broken by now.
I, Xiao Yuan, am not such a loser as to allow someone to beat my wife in my home."
