Chapter 13: Settlement with Su Zheng in the future

Seeing the note in Meng Fang's hand, Mr. Xiao knew that there was news coming back. He immediately took it in his hand and quickly started to check it.

"That's unreasonable!"

That careless glance made Mr. Xiao furious.

He kneaded the meat in his hand into a ball, and his murderous aura became more intense.

"You're so good, Su Zheng! How could I, the Xiao family's precious daughter, allow you to ruin her like this?"

"If it hadn't been for the Xiao family back then, how could he, a commoner, have climbed to the position of Prime Minister in just a few years!"

Meng Fang couldn't help but darken his face when he heard the old general's words. Even though he only said a few words, he could guess a lot.

It seems that after the eldest lady married Su Zheng, her life in the Su family was not satisfactory, otherwise the young lady would not have been abducted here.

With a serious look on his face, he clasped his hands and asked, "General, are you going to kill someone..."

As soon as he started talking, he was interrupted by Mr. Xiao's raised hand, and Meng Fang calmed down and waited for the general's instructions.

"Nowadays, the Xiao family is in a difficult situation. Although they have been away from Beijing for many years, the Imperial Master has always regarded the Xiao family as a thorn in his side."

"Even if we stay in Fengcheng, the place is not completely clean. There are hidden lines from the Imperial Guard everywhere."

"The power of the imperial master in the capital is getting stronger and stronger, and now even the prince has to avoid its influence. Our Xiao family must not cause more troubles to attract attention at this time."

The purpose of lying dormant for so many years is to make everyone relax their vigilance towards the Xiao family. In the eyes of the Imperial Master, the more dilapidated and desolate the Xiao family is, the longer they can be allowed to stay in Fengcheng.

On the surface, it seems that the Xiao family has been suppressed by the Imperial Guard until they are dying, but in fact, General Xiao has been manipulating the Xiao family and Fengcheng. It is extremely important for the Xiao family to gain more time and opportunities.

Speaking of this, Mr. Xiao couldn't help but sigh, his eyes were a little moist.

"Hongyan's account will be settled slowly with Su Zheng in the future!"

Seeing that the general had made his decision, Meng Fang clasped his hands and bowed his head to accept the order.

"Yes, General!"

The figure of the heroic young lady still clearly appeared in Meng Fang's memory.

The eldest lady at that time was a goddess who could not be desecrated in the hearts of many Xiao family soldiers.

Although he doesn’t know what Su Zheng did to the eldest lady, as long as the general gives the order, he will make Su Zheng pay with his blood even if he dies!

"How's the city going lately?"

Putting the crumpled paper into his arms, Mr. Xiao walked to the desk and spread out the map of Fengcheng.

The roads in this large town are intricate, and a variety of shops are dotted on both sides of the streets, showing the lively flow of people during the day.

"The alienation plan laid out before has been completed. The Yan Kingdom has unilaterally ended cooperation with the Snow Kingdom. The troops of the two countries left Fengcheng one after another at Yinshi today. The troops of the Ling Kingdom followed them and left together."

"good very good."

After many days of planning, he finally got the expected result. Mr. Xiao rarely felt relaxed for a moment. He nodded tiredly, lowered his head and drew a few strokes on the map.

"Just leave. From today onwards, the city gate captain will strictly check the identity and belongings of those who enter the city, and they will not be scornful or slow down in their work."

"Let people continue to keep an eye on the hidden stakes hidden in Fengcheng. If any action is taken, they will be killed."

"Yes, General."

After the two things were explained, the sky outside gradually became dim.

The fighting in the first half of the night made General Xiao a little tired, so he stayed on the couch in the study to rest, and waved to Meng Fang to go back and take a nap.

After dawn, there were still many things waiting to be dealt with, and the two of them needed to conserve their energy.

The unbearable feeling of hunger in her belly made Su Qingtian wake up from her sleep. She rubbed her belly and pursed her lips.

When will this world with thin spiritual energy come to an end?

The half-light sky was already showing outside the window. As soon as Su Qingtian sat up, the bedroom door was gently pushed open.

The maid in a light blue dress came in quietly and put the basin into the wooden stand. Only then did she realize that her mistress had already stood up. She quickly came over and knelt down to put on Su Qingtian's shoes.

"The master also said that the young lady slept very late last night, so she must have woken up very late. Now she wakes up so early, but isn't the bed uncomfortable?"

Su Qingtian shook her head in confusion.

She couldn't say that she woke up from hunger again, otherwise her grandfather would think that she had some strange disease and would call a group of doctors to examine her, which would waste a lot of time.

The maid's voice was soft and light, and she sounded like she was only twelve or thirteen years old.

Holding the little feet dangling by the bed, the maid put on her shoes and socks and said.

"The general bought the shoes from someone as soon as the shoe shop opened this morning. However, the ready-made clothes shop does not have the size of the young lady. The master has asked the embroiderer in the mansion to sew them."

"You will wear this little Gongsun's old clothes today."

When Su Qingtian came yesterday, she didn't bring a change of clothes, but it was enough in this hot summer.

But the sunshine in Xiao Mansion is not as bright as outside. After last night, Mr. Xiao roughly guessed that there was something evil in the manor. In order to prevent his granddaughter from becoming the second grandson, he specially asked the maid to put more clothes on his precious granddaughter.

The maid dutifully put several layers on Su Qingtian, then took her off the bed and washed her.

Then he took Su Qingtian to the side hall, where Mr. Xiao and Xiao Yichen were sitting at the table waiting for breakfast.

Seeing the squirting little dumpling cautiously crossing the tall threshold, their hearts melted with all four eyes.

The maid asked the maid to prick two more small knots on Su Qingtian's little head, which shook and made the hazy sky outside the house brighten up.

Xiao Yichen was a little excited when he saw Su Qingtian coming.

There were too many things and weird things last night. During the night, he had no time to take a closer look at the youngest baby in the family. Now he finally had time to take a good look at his only little niece.

The little dumpling held the maid's hand and jumped up and down. The loose clothes looked indecent on her body, but the unparalleled aura emanating from her small face and eyebrows could not be concealed at all costs.

"Good morning grandpa, good morning uncle."

On the chubby little face, a pair of big wet eyes as clear as a deer looked at the two men in the room, and the sweet and waxy voice struck at the top of their hearts.

"Xiao Qingtian, grandpa and uncle are waiting for you, come quickly."

General Xiao hadn't smiled so happily for a long time. He waved quickly and then patted the place beside him.

He felt distressed by what happened to his daughter, but as soon as he saw his cute little granddaughter, the depressed feeling in his heart immediately eased a lot, and a rare smile naturally appeared on his face.

This scene made the servants serving around him slightly surprised.

The feeling of death and depression has been lingering in the Xiao Mansion for a long time. Although the general frowned because of the heavy workload, there always seemed to be some unexplainable things that made everyone feel depressed.

Now the appearance of the young lady seems to have broken through the fog, making the old general who rarely smiles laugh happily, and the servants also showed their relaxed faces that they had not seen for a long time.
