Chapter 250: The Quiet Flame

But Old Madam Xiao knows the character of the Xiao family's father and son, and if this matter is put on the surface, she will definitely be unanimously opposed. @樂@ζ–‡@小@θ―΄|So, she can only hide from them and proceed little by little.

She believed that after many years, Xun'er's feelings for Ou Honeysuckle faded, and she would definitely thank her for doing so.

After Xiao Xun calmed down, he listened to his mother's words silently. Rao is he constantly warned himself not to argue with his mother, but his heart was also stabbed by Mrs. Xiao's words from time to time.

When Old Madam Xiao finally finished speaking, he took a long breath: "Mother, do you have anything else to say?" ”

The tone is already calm and self-controlled.

Seeing that his attitude was flat and indifferent, Mrs. Xiao said comfortably: "No, you can think carefully about what my mother said." ”

She is not in a hurry, she understands the truth that things must be reversed. To make her son's mind fully trust her, you need to take it slowly.

"Then the son took his leave." Xiao Xun lowered his eyes, hiding the anger in his eyes.

"Okay." Mrs. Xiao said: "You think about it first, make a decision to sue SΓΉ Niang, if you are afraid of hurting the love of your husband and wife, let Niang be this wicked person." ”

Xiao Xun gritted his teeth and turned around and left without saying a word.

Old Madam Xiao looked at the back that gradually disappeared from her eyes, picked up the teacup, and smiled.

Xiao Xun walked with his head down all the way, exuding a cold aura all over his body, which made people dare not approach. But instead of going back to his yard, he went to the stables of the Xiao Mansion and led out his dark horse.

The black horse and the master have a heart-to-heart, and when Xiao Xun stepped on the horse, he neighed and galloped away.

Waiting for Xiao Xun to ride away, the guard of the stables cautiously showed his head and walked quickly in the direction of the front hall.

Got to the antechamber. found that there was no one in the park, and the guard hurriedly asked the little guy next to him: "Where is the old lady?" ”

The little maid obviously recognized the guard and said to him, "Madame has returned to Zhenghui Courtyard." ”

Zhenghui Courtyard is the courtyard of Mrs. Xiao and General Xiao, and the guards thanked the little maid and hurried to Zhenghui Courtyard. When they arrived at Zhenghui Courtyard, the guards finally saw Mrs. Xiao as they wished.

"Old lady," said the guard as he entered the house, "the servant has seen the second son in the stable." The second son's mood doesn't seem to be very good. The horses rode fast. ”

Old Madam Xiao said, "What did Xun'er say?" ”

"Back to the old lady, the second son didn't speak."

"And where did he go on horseback?" Old Madam Xiao asked again.

"It's... The minions didn't pay attention. It's like heading north. The stableman replied.

"North...?" Old Madam Xiao couldn't figure it out, Xun'er really didn't go to Oufu to find the owner and his wife. Or deliberately make a trick to keep her from knowing.

Although there is no intrigue in the Xiao Mansion, Old Mrs. Xiao is a woman from a big family, and she knows a lot about the intrigue in the inner house. Over the years, because of General Xiao's march and war, she has been exposed to it. His mind was a little more careful than before.

Xun'er seemed to be moved by her, but just in case. What if Xun'er just pretended to agree, but turned around to find the owner and his wife?

She then instructed her subordinates to pay attention to Xun'er's movements, and to inform her if there was any change.

That's it, even if Xun'er really reported to Ou Zhuang and Xiao Qinxin?

It was their daughter who made the mistake first. They deserve the consequences. As for affection, her acceptance of Ou Honeysuckle is the greatest affection for them.

"You go down first, and if you have something in the future, you can directly tell Mama Xiao." Old Madam Xiao said to the stable guard. Then he motioned to Mama Xiao beside her to send the guard out.

Mama Xiao understood and led the guards out.

She pulled out a few pieces of broken silver from her purse. gave the stableman to the guard: "If you have something in the future, come to me directly, do a good job for the old lady, and the silver is indispensable to you." ”

The stable keeper stared at the silver, and his waist was almost bent to the ground: "The slave must listen to Mama Xiao's orders." ”

Mama Xiao nodded: "Okay, go back, don't be discovered by the second son about your coming here." ”

"Yes..."

……

Old Madam Xiao was fully prepared here, but Xiao Xun didn't give Old Madam Xiao this opportunity.

He mounted his black horse and galloped all the way, and soon went out of the city gates.

That's right, Xiao Xun didn't come out to relax, nor did he go to Hongfang Street to find his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but to Qingluo Town, looking for General Xiao and his eldest brother Xiao Jue.

When Mrs. Xiao said those high-sounding words, Xiao Xun clearly knew that Xiao Dong's mother really wanted to do much more than what she said.

Although he is emotionally wooden, he is not good at expressing himself. But it doesn't mean that his brain is stupid, luring the enemy to slow down the distraction, he doesn't know how many times he has used such a trick on the battlefield.

How could he not see his mother's intentions?

It's just that he couldn't figure out why his mother was so suspicious of Xiao Dong because of a few words from unrelated people.

She and Xiaodong have known each other for many years, and even Xiaodong can be regarded as a mother who grew up. She didn't believe that she had watched a child who had grown up for more than ten years, but believed in the words of a stranger!

Xiao Xun was helpless, but she was powerless to change her mother's current opinion.

He even thought that if he really said good things for Xiao Dong in the hall and defended his mother, would his mother dislike Xiao Dong even more?

However, he did not have time to waste his mediation with his mother.

Beimo and Nanling are ready to move again, and the Great Qi truce has only been a year, and they have not yet recuperated. After years of war, the grain depot of Daqi has long been empty, and the people's taxes have gradually deepened, and complaints have abounded.

As soon as the truce began last year, Emperor Mo exempted the border from paying taxes for three years. The rest of the realms were also exempted from half of the taxes, and the voice of the calamity barely fell, if Nanling and Bei Mo really sent troops at this time, even if it was just a false shot, it would be enough to pierce the seemingly prosperous coat of Daqi.

Xiao Xun's brows were tightly locked, on the battlefield, he was not allowed to be soft-hearted, nor was he allowed to think hesitantly repeatedly. The most correct decision must be made in the shortest possible time.

Therefore, as soon as he heard his mother's attitude today, Xiao Xun endured his anger and went straight to Qingluo Town.

He wants to sue his father and eldest brother that he and Xiaodong are going to move out of the Xiao Mansion and live independently.

As night fell, Xiao Xun rode a dark horse and finally arrived at the Xiao Jiajun training ground in Qingluo Town. On the training ground, the soldiers had just rested, and they sat in a circle one by one, waiting for dinner.

Xiao Xun went straight to the coach's tent, and without waiting for the communication, he went straight to open the curtain and enter.

In the tent, General Xiao and Xiao Jue sat facing each other, with a chessboard on the table, a pot of wine and two wine glasses.

The two were drinking and playing, and when they saw Xiao Xun coming in, they were surprised, Xiao Jue said, "Isn't it your vacation today, let you go home to accompany your younger siblings?" What, I quarreled with my younger siblings? ”

Xiao Xun's face was gloomy, his whole body exuded low pressure, and his blue robe made his face even more cold. He went to the table and sat down, took the glass himself, poured it full of wine, and drank it all.
