In front of the Xiao Mansion, the gate was closed. Only the lantern hanging high in front of the house still flickered faintly.

The father and son dismounted, and Xiao Xun went to call the porter.

The concierge knew that the second son and the eldest prince had come back together, and after opening the door, they hurriedly said to Xiao Xun: "Second son, the second young grandmother has sent someone to the concierge to ask many times, go back and have a look." ”

Xiao Xun seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and responded lightly, then turned to Old General Xiao and said, "Dad, it's late tonight, you and your eldest brother should go back and rest first." ”

Galloping all the way, Old General Xiao gradually calmed down: "Tomorrow, you all come to my courtyard." ”

With that, he walked away with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Jue walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Take care of your younger siblings." ”

When Xiao Xun went back, the lights had been turned off in the courtyard. It was pitch black, and not even a figure could be seen.

Approaching slowly, Ju Ying was staying outside, already sleeping deeply.

Xiao Xun walked lightly and walked into the room. On the bed, Xiao Dong was lying on his back to him, thinking that he was asleep.

Xiao Xun lightly took off his clothes and lay down next to Xiao Dong's side. It's just that he has a deep mind, how can he sleep peacefully?

Turning sideways, Xiao Xun wrapped around her from behind Honeysuckle and said softly, "Xiao Dong, don't worry." I will protect you and your children and give you a comfortable and worry-free life. ”

Xiao Dong's body stiffened, and the corners of his eyes soaked wet. She tried her best to hold back so that she didn't cry, but her body trembled vigorously.

Xiao Xun hugged her in his arms, and naturally felt her trembling: "What's wrong?" Did you have a nightmare, or did I wake you up? ”

He asked eagerly.

Xiao Dong sobbed: "No, I haven't slept yet." ”

Soon, she stopped crying.

Solving things with crying, that's not her character.

It's just a night of cranky thinking, it turns out that just Xiao Xun's words can untie her heart knot.

"I know," since Xiao Xun's meaning was determined, Xiao Dong had nothing to fear, she said directly: "My mother-in-law has a lot of prejudices against me and the child. If possible, I will try to get her to accept me. If my mother-in-law insists on doing this..."Xiao Dong looked into Xiao Xun's eyes and said, "Then I won't stay here any longer." ”

What does that mean?

Xiao Xun's eyes flashed slightly. Does she still want to reconcile with him?

Xiao Dong noticed that Xiao Xun's expression was not dark, but he still said the words he had prepared in his heart: "If it really comes to that point, will you move out with me?" ”

"Move out?" Xiao Xun's face softened a lot. "I also have this plan. Moreover, today I went to Qingluo Town to find my father and eldest brother, and tomorrow morning, this matter will be resolved. You don't have to worry, go to sleep. ”

Xiao Xun didn't hide it from Xiao Dong. He told her all his plans.

It turned out that the two of them actually wanted to go together.

Before going to bed, Xiao Dong was relaxed: "Okay, then I'll just ignore it for now, I'll listen to you." ”

This is the first time that Xiao Xun and Xiao Dong have been trusted by Xiao Dong since they met.

This feeling is very good, the corners of Xiao Xun's mouth unconsciously rose, and he tucked the corners of the quilt for Xiao Dong: "Go to sleep, they are all people with children." Don't worry about this, if your father and mother really don't agree, I'll take you to Qunanguan when the time comes..."

After several years of war. Xiao Xun's vision is not at the same level as his sons and buddies raised in the capital. plus his aunt, Xiao Qinyu, went to the battlefield as a military advisor more than 20 years ago and entered the barracks.

Therefore, Xiao Xun felt that it was not impossible for Xiao Dong to go to the battlefield with him.

……

Early the next morning, the two got up early, cleaned up roughly, and rushed to Zhenghuiyuan.

Although they slept less, the two were in a good mood and looked vibrant.

Arrived at Shokein. Xiao Jue and Feng Xue are already there.

A table of eight immortals was specially set up in the courtyard, and six round chairs were gathered around the table of eight immortals. Old General Xiao sat in the right seat, Xiao Jue sat on the left, and Old Madam Xiao on the right. Next to Old Madam Xiao sat Feng Xue.

Xiao Xun and Xiao Dong sat down according to their positions.

Old Madam Xiao was a little apprehensive, this Eight Immortals Table... It's been a long time since I've moved out.

She remembered that the last time she saw the Eight Immortals table, it was a family discussion here, Qin Yu secretly took Qin Xin away from home for more than a year, whether to change the punishment or not?

At that time, she was just the eldest lady in the family. Not much to say.

"Let's have breakfast first." Old General Xiao spoke, interrupting Old Madam Xiao's memories.

"Okay, Mama Xiao, order someone to make vegetables."

After a while, breakfast was set. The six of them finished the breakfast quietly.

It wasn't until breakfast was removed that Mrs. Xiao realized that something was wrong with General Xiao.

Why is his speech so scarce today?

Also, Jue'er and Xun'er finished breakfast, why didn't they leave, are they all resting today?!

"Jue'er, do you have anything else to say?" Old Madam Xiao asked.

"The child is fine." Xiao Jue said.

Old Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Xun again, "What about Xun'er?" ”

Xiao Xun was silent for a moment: "Mother, my son has something." ”

Old Madam Xiao faintly had a bad premonition, and she reluctantly smiled and asked, "Xun'er, what do you have to say?" ”

Could it be that you want to talk about the child in Ou Honeysuckle's belly!

Old Madam Xiao was startled, and couldn't help but give Xiao Xun a look.

You can't say this now. If she says it now, then all the things she worked so hard to plan for Xun'er will be in vain.

"Daddy," Xiao Xun ignored Mrs. Xiao: "My son wants to say a happy event." ”

Old Madam Xiao's smile froze on her face.

Old General Xiao said, "Say it." ”

"Xiao Dong," Xiao Xun said, holding Ou Rongdong's hand: "She's happy, I'm going to be a father." ”

Old Madam Xiao was churning in her heart, didn't she have persuaded Xun'er yesterday, why did Xun'er suddenly say this today?

She couldn't help but look at Ou Honeysuckle's face, was that provoked by her?!

Old Madam Xiao felt more and more that Ou Honeysuckle was an eyesore.

But although she was disgusted in her heart, Old Madam Xiao smiled on her face: "Really, Dong'er is happy!" This is the blessing of the ancestors, our Xiao family, we are going to add Ding again! ”

“……”

Silent.

It's endless silence.

Old Madam Xiao looked at the few people sitting next to her, and her heart suddenly became cold.

"Madame, are you really happy for Dong'er?" Old General Xiao asked coldly.

Old Madam Xiao simply no longer concealed her hostility towards Ou Honeysuckle. She said, "I'm not happy for Xun'er. The child in her belly, who knows if it's Xun'er's? Even if it is, it is an ironclad fact that she disappeared for more than a month before she got married. On that basis, she is not worthy to have a child. ”

Although he had been mentally prepared, General Xiao didn't expect that Old Madam Xiao would be so rational and strong.

He kept his face calm and waited quietly for Old Madam Xiao to finish. Then he said: "It's not up to you to decide whether you are worthy or not." Xun'er, yesterday he asked me to allow him and Dong'er to move out. I didn't want to promise that a family should be united, not infighting. But compared to the external honor of the family, I care more about each family, if you can't accept Dong'er, then let them move out. (To be continued.) )
