"Why? When did I cause any trouble?" Tian Qiaoqiao widened her eyes and looked at the governor Tian unconvincedly.
"I haven't even had time to say a word to Brother Xiao."
When she heard that Xiao Yunzhan's property was confiscated and he was exiled, she was so anxious that she almost fainted. If her father hadn't locked her in the house, she would have gone to rescue the Xiao family long ago.
"What Brother Xiao? What kind of brother is he to you?"
"Your last name is Tian, and his last name is Xiao. Is he your eldest brother?"
When Magistrate Tian heard this, he became even angrier. He ignored his hungry stomach and started talking non-stop.
"Girls don't have proper manners. Ask your mother to find a tutor to teach you proper manners."
"With so many people watching, you just open your mouth and call me Big Brother Xiao. What kind of words are you talking about?"
"Next time you see Xiao Yunzhan, you must call him General Xiao. Remember?"
Tian Qiaoqiao frowned and looked at Magistrate Tian with a puzzled look.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"I used to call you Brother Xiao. Why is it that I could call you Brother Xiao before, but not now?"
"Besides, Brother Xiao and I have known each other since we were young. We are childhood sweethearts..."
"Just shut up!" Prefect Tian was frightened when he heard Tian Qiaoqiao's increasingly crooked words, and he quickly interrupted her.
Brahma City is now guarded by the God King, and the God King trusts the Xiao family. If the God King tells this to the Xiao family, something big will happen.
"The past is the past, and the present is the present. Just remember what Dad said."
"The women of the Xiao family are all here, and Old Madam Xiao is a stickler for rules. If you yell like that, she'll definitely think you're rude."
"Dad, is the one wearing dark blue clothes Madam Xiao?"
Tian Qiaoqiao frowned, remembering that among the female members of the Xiao family, only this one looked older.
Prefect Tian nodded and said, "That's right. Be more polite to others in the future. They have all been enlightened by the Divine King and their martial arts are very powerful. Don't embarrass yourself with your mediocre martial arts skills."
"How come Madam Xiao looks so young? Is she fifty? She looks thirty at most."
Tian Qiaoqiao widened her eyes in shock.
She was just guessing, and she never dared to be sure that the woman in dark blue clothes was Old Madam Xiao, mainly because she looked too young.
Her mother said that Old Madam Xiao is almost fifty years old.
So she always thought that Madam Xiao should be an old lady with gray hair, similar to her grandmother.
Magistrate Tian sighed.
"He is indeed 50 years old, but he looks younger. He looks even younger than he did more than ten years ago. This must be the power of the God King."
He is 12 years younger than Madam Xiao, and at 38 years old he looks older than the 50-year-old Madam Xiao.
He was born when his mother was 15 years old, and he is only 53 years old this year. He looks old enough to be Madam Xiao's mother.
"It's well maintained. I have to learn from Madam Xiao and take good care of my mother."
Tian Qiaoqiao was extremely curious about Old Madam Xiao, and of course she was also particularly curious about Xiao Yunzhan's widowed sisters-in-law.
They look so young, why don't they remarry?
"What the hell are you doing? You're almost out of food and drink, and you're still trying to maintain your health. You're lucky you didn't starve to death."
Magistrate Tian rolled his eyes at his foolish daughter.
"By the way, General Xiao's fiancée from the capital also came to Brahma City with him this time. They are already married. You..."
"Impossible!" Tian Qiaoqiao looked at Prefect Tian in shock. "Brother Xiao said he wouldn't marry into the Lin family, and the old man in the Lin family doesn't want his daughter to marry into the Xiao family either. How can this marriage be possible?"
"Dad, you lied to me, didn't you?" Tian Qiaoqiao's eyes were slightly red, and her voice was slightly choked.
"Brother Xiao was exiled by Emperor Wu of Liang right after he arrived in the capital. How could he have had time to get married?"
“I don’t believe it!!!”
Tian Qiaoqiao cried and yelled, then turned around and ran out of the study.

"Early tomorrow morning, have someone set up a rain-praying altar at the parade grounds, and have all the Taoist priests in the city go up there to pray for rain."
"Notify everyone in the city to come to the parade grounds and pray for rain together."
Xiao Yunzhan explained to Chang Sun Dongcai according to the message Lin Yiran sent him.
Although he didn't know how Lin Yiran was going to pray for rain, he absolutely obeyed the message Lin Yiran sent.
Lin Yiran said this, so she must have her own way.
Chang Sun Dongcai frowned.
"Don't you want to ask the God King to send rain?"
"The Taoist priests in the whole city have prayed for rain countless times, but to no avail."
Those old Taoist priests prayed for rain until they vomited blood, but not a drop of rain came.
He hasn't dared to ask those old Taoist priests to pray for rain recently, for fear of torturing them to death.
Each of them now looks like an immortal, skinny and with gray hair.
Zhao Hu also looked at Xiao Yunzhan in confusion.
"I just prayed to the God King, and now I'm praying to another god. Will this anger the God King?"
"If the God King could create a few more springs flowing from the sky, wouldn't that be more reliable than those Taoist priests praying for rain?"
The other soldiers nodded in agreement. The Taoist’s prayer for rain was effective and had already come true. However, the God King was more reliable.
