Xiao Qinghe said goodbye to Mrs. Xiao, returned to his outer study, dealt with some things, and then returned to the back house.

At this hour, the sky has also darkened, in fact, he has been very busy in the past few days, and sometimes, he even rests in the outer study, mainly because he is afraid that it will be too late and disturb Mrs. Xiao's bed.

Because Xiao Qinghe and Old Lady Xiao had been in the front yard all the time, they didn't know what was happening in the back house, and they didn't know that Aunt Fang had been ordered by Old Lady Xiao to pack and send it directly to Zhuangzi.

Mrs. Xiao felt that Xiao Qinghe would come for dinner today, and she actually didn't know why she was so sure, so she asked the small kitchen to prepare a lot of Xiao Qinghe's favorite meals.

Sure enough, Xiao Qinghe came over.

Although the two of them met at Mrs. Xiao's place during the day, the two did not communicate.

Tormenting Xiao Qinghe came over, Mrs. Xiao's eyes were a little red, in fact, she was really wronged in today's matter, but she also knew that she took the position of her mother-in-law, and she was really to blame for such a thing happened to the eldest girl.

"The master is back, I'm tired today. Mrs. Xiao said with a smile, although she looked aggrieved, she still didn't say it after all.

Mrs. Xiao is actually such a person, in some things, she thinks too much about others, she always would rather wronged herself than cause trouble and trouble to others.

Especially in the face of Xiao Qinghe, who she cared about, even more so, today's events were enough to annoy him, and Mrs. Xiao didn't want Xiao Qinghe to continue to worry about it.

So even though she was very aggrieved and wanted to complain, she never said it.

Xiao Qinghe has been with Mrs. Xiao for a long time now, and she also knows Mrs. Xiao's character very well, she stepped forward to hold Mrs. Xiao's hand, and said with a little apology, "I know that you have been wronged today, and I know it in my heart." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao's face turned a little red, "As long as the master can understand, the concubine body will be clear, and the concubine body of the eldest girl really didn't expect it to be like this." ”

At the mention of Xiao Ziqing, Xiao Qinghe's face fell, and his tone was very indifferent, "This evil obstacle, there is no need to mention it in the future, I don't think I have ever given birth to this evil obstacle." ”

Mrs. Xiao sighed and said, "The old lady said the same, I'm afraid that the eldest girl will be alone in the future." ”

Xiao Qinghe knew that Mrs. Xiao was quick to soften, "You don't have to think so much, this evil obstacle is all caused by herself, and she has nothing to do with others." ”

"Yes, I know. Although Mrs. Xiao has some sympathy for Xiao Ziqing, she will not care about Xiao Ziqing.

"You don't have to think so much, what you have to do now is to learn to be in charge, Yu'er will be thirteen next year, three years at most, and you will get married, so there is not much time for you, a few days ago, my father discussed with me, and wanted me to inherit the title, I shirked it, according to your current ability, I don't care about taking on the Guogong Mansion, I think this will give you a few more years, and then talk about it when you can run the house independently." Xiao Qinghe thought very thoughtfully.

In the past, Xiao Qinghe actually felt very irritable when he thought of this, his future grandfather of the country, but he had always been worried, after inheriting the title, Mrs. Xiao could not bear the burden of the duchess of the country, so she didn't have a good face for Mrs. Xiao, but now, Xiao Qinghe didn't care.

Because people are like this, Mrs. Xiao is simple, straightforward, never calculates others, and with her, I feel very comfortable and at ease, and I never worry about being calculated by her.

Mrs. Xiao was a little embarrassed to hear it, "It's the concubine body that is too useless." In fact, Mrs. Xiao is also a little helpless, her temperament has been like this since she was a child, and she probably can't really change it.

"It's okay, I didn't know before, but now I like your temperament very much, and I hope you don't change it for the rest of your life. "Xiao Qinghe is used to seeing deceit, the darkness in the officialdom, what he likes most is the peace and tranquility here in Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao blushed a little, "The master didn't coax me to say this." ”

Xiao Qinghe smiled, "Naturally, it's not to coax you, it's all sincere." ”

The husband and wife said this here, and Cailian took the girl to set up the meals before saying, "Master, wife, please eat." ”

Mrs. Xiao nodded, "Got it." Then he looked at Xiao Qinghe and said, "Master, let's eat first." ”

As soon as the husband and wife sat down, Mama Zhong came in, and said with a somewhat solemn face, "Master, madam, when the second master came, he knelt outside the courtyard gate, refusing to get up, and had to ask to see the old man's wife." ”

When Xiao Qinghe heard this, his face immediately changed, he slapped the table suddenly, and said angrily, "This evil obstacle actually ran back from the academy, it's really too much!"

When Mrs. Xiao saw Xiao Qinghe's face, she couldn't help but worry about Xiao Jingpeng, and hurriedly said, "Master, don't be angry, Brother Peng is also filial." ”

Xiao Qinghe snorted coldly, "Let him kneel outside, don't care about him." ”

Mrs. Xiao couldn't bear it very much, and said, "How can this make it, it looks like it's going to snow outside, what if Brother Peng is frozen, let the second master come in first." Mrs. Xiao said directly to Mama Zhong.

Mama Zhong hurriedly turned around and went.

Not long after, Xiao Jingpeng walked in, Xiao Jingpeng knelt on the ground as soon as he entered the door, first kowtowed a few times, and said, "Father and mother forgive sins, it is the son who is unfilial, and the son makes amends to his father and mother." ”

Mrs. Xiao has always been very good to Xiao Jingpeng, and she can be regarded as fulfilling her responsibilities as a mother, Mrs. Xiao stepped forward to personally help Xiao Jingpeng up, "Brother Peng, get up and speak first." ”

To put it bluntly, Xiao Jingpeng is just a fourteen-year-old boy, and when he encounters such a thing all of a sudden, he really can't accept it, his biological mother was sent away, his sister
