Zhou Xiya and Xiao Jingqing returned to the mansion and met their sister-in-law Wang when they passed by the garden.

"Yo, where did the second brother and second brother and sister come from, why is there smoke and fire on this body, and it looks like a refugee." Wang stopped the two of them and looked at them, chuckling lightly.

"Something happened, we have to go back to the room to freshen up, and leave first." Xiao Jingqing pulled Zhou Xiya and was about to leave.

"Slow, what's the hurry" Wang stopped them, the maid next to her said something in Wang's ear, Wang pretended to be surprised: "It turns out that your warehouse is on fire with your brother and sister?" I said how did I see such a big black smoke in the south before, tsk, this loss will not be small, sister-in-law is sorry for your sister, a few days ago my sister also boasted about Haikou, saying that she wanted to help us as brothers and sisters-in-law, but it has only been a few days, your treasury has been burned to ashes, it seems that this god is really uplifted, don't let people talk about it. Wang looked at the man mockingly.

It's finally out of the breath before, she just waited here on purpose, waiting to humiliate the two.

"Hehe, but a small treasury on fire, in the sister-in-law's mouth has become a big thing, I don't know if the sister-in-law has not seen the world, or the family is not rich, a warehouse on fire can still hurt the muscles and bones, not to mention the father-in-law, even my own dowry is also rich, a small treasury I will not put in my eyes, sister-in-law's schadenfreude is probably in vain, this for me, no pain, by the way, if the sister-in-law is really red to this point, I will send you a treasury of things, as a relief refugee." Zhou Xiya snorted coldly, not giving Wang a good face at all. Wang took the initiative to come out and beg for a beating, she Zhou Xiya naturally would not be polite, she was in a bad mood now, and someone happened to be a punching bag for her.

"You ......," Wang was annoyed.

"Second young master, second lady, lord and lady please go to the front hall, the lord has something to say." At this time, the butler walked over quickly.

Xiao Jingqing and Zhou Xiya had no choice but to go over, and Wang's eyes rolled and followed, presumably his father was going to reprimand them, and her husband happened to be there. She also went over to see the excitement. As long as she can see Zhou Xiya's bad luck, she is happy.

When the two arrived in the front hall, there were a lot of people in the hall in between, not only Marquis Xiao's father, but also several older sons of the Xiao family.

"Father. Mother" Xiao Jingqing and the two saluted.

Xiao Houye waved his hand. Putting the teacup heavily on the table, "What just happened." I already know, second daughter-in-law, because of your treasury. Almost set fire to half of the street, causing irreparable damage, but fortunately, the fire was urgent, and the damage is not big now. ”

"It's the daughter-in-law who didn't close it well, and the daughter-in-law will take full responsibility and properly handle the follow-up matters, and will not discredit the Xiao family." I don't know what Marquis Xiao means, but Zhou Xiya also has to speak openly, so as not to find fault with Marquis Xiao.

"Well, these things are handed over to you to deal with, and I can rest assured, but the second daughter-in-law, since you marry into the Xiao family, you can be a good husband and a child, it's okay to help your mother deal with the housework, if you don't handle the outside things well, just hand them over to Jingqing, the male protagonist and the female protagonist are the same things for the ages, since you can't handle your business well, you might as well hand it over to someone else, anyway, you are the father, and whoever cares is the same." Marquis Xiao raised his eyes to look at the two people who were standing.

He had his own thoughts in his heart, he knew that the property of the wealthy businessman Li Mu was controlled by Zhou Xiya, and it was used as her dowry, even Li Mu's family didn't get a little, but in the hands of his daughter-in-law, even if it was in the Xiao family, now take this opportunity to let his son manage it, and when the time comes, it will not be easy for him, the father, to ask for money and things.

Xiao Ruiqing sat on the side and gently frosted the rim of the cup, this thing was not done by him, but he guided others to do it, seeing such an embarrassed two, he was really happy in his heart.

And Xiao Yanqing looked at Xiao Jingqing and them with a smile, and he was very proud, he did this matter, or the eldest brother was interesting enough to reveal the news to him, which not only allowed him to get a large amount of finances, but also burned down the second sister-in-law's treasury, looking at the ugly faces of the husband and wife, he was really proud, it was the first time that he found Xiao Jingqing's trouble so smoothly.

"Father, the son believes that Xiya can handle her own affairs, and the son has a lot of things, whether it is an accident or man-made, the son believes that the focus should be on finding out the real culprit behind the scenes and recovering the loss, rather than caring about who cares about this 'dowry' at this time, I am one husband and wife with Xiya, mine is hers, hers is mine, what difficulties she has, I naturally will not stand idly by." Xiao Jingqing said this unceremoniously, he couldn't blame him for speaking unkindly, he could naturally guess his father's thoughts, and he Xiao Jingqing disdained to rob his wife's property.

"Second brother, how can you contradict your father, your father is also for your good, since the second sister-in-law is not capable of managing her dowry, why can't you help manage it, is it possible that the second sister-in-law is still guarding against you?" Xiao Yanqing began to provoke, he was afraid that Xiao Jingqing would find out about him, and then he would be in trouble.

"Who said it wasn't, second brother and sister, don't complain in your heart, since we have arrived at the Xiao family, we are the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, you might as well leave it to the second brother to take care of it, and it will save you hard work." Wang pretended to be a good person on the side.

"Father, Dayan's law says that when the daughter-in-law's dowry should be handed over to her husband to take care of, I only know that the law stipulates that the dowry is a woman's private property, and no one has the right to interfere, why am I just on fire, everyone came out and made irresponsible remarks, everyone is not in a hurry to catch the arsonist, but is here to calculate me, what is the reason, the Xiao family is a century-old family, is this the rule of the Xiao family." Zhou Xiya looked at the people in the room unceremoniously.

She Zhou Xiya is a strong person when she encounters strength, and if she wants to calculate her, to see if she agrees, she would rather burn the jade than let some people be satisfied.

"Presumptuous" Marquis Xiao slapped the table angrily.

"Daughter-in-law doesn't know what's wrong, can't my father tolerate people telling the truth, if my father forcibly forces me to do something I don't want to do, I will never agree, if the Xiao family can't tolerate me as a daughter-in-law, you can divorce me." Zhou Xiya looked at Marquis Xiao fearlessly.

"Xiya" Xiao Jingqing pulled Zhou Xiya, how could she say such a thing. When he is what he is.

"Okay, okay, this is the good daughter-in-law educated by Zhou Jianxiong, I opened my eyes today." Marquis Xiao was laughed at angrily, he was used to being high and powerful, even the emperor had to give him some face, and no one had ever dared to contradict him like this, how could he tolerate such a daughter-in-law.

"My Xiao family temple is small, and the honor is not small, you are a big Buddha, since this is the case. You can leave. I would write to Zhou Jianxiong to ask how he educated his daughter. Xiao Hou Ye threatened that no woman didn't care about being taken home, so he didn't believe that she didn't give in.

"Please forgive my father. What Xiya said was just angry words. This time someone set the fire to cause the accident. Xiya is in a bad mood, so she will contradict her father and ask her father for forgiveness. I will educate her well after I go back, Xiya has outstanding ability, and the son hopes that his wife can stand by his son's side to assist his son, rather than a woman who will only take care of the house and give birth to children, there are many such women, but the son does not need it, and Xiya is the most suitable woman for the son, begging the father to forgive Xiya's recklessness for the sake of his son's face. Xiao Jingqing knelt down and pleaded guilty, but put all the responsibility on himself.

He knew that his father would not really let him abandon Xiya, because his father needed the power of the Zhou family, so he came out to admit his mistake and gave his father a step, and his father not only scolded Xiya, but someone gave him a step, and this matter could be turned into a big thing and a small matter.

"Look at your little bit of interest, you care about her, but does she care about you, a daughter-in-law who opens her mouth and closes her mouth to say such a thing as Hugh Renunciation, do you want to get up?" Marquis Xiao hated iron and looked at his son, this son is very good, and he can't be picky in all aspects, but only in women, why can't he learn from him and be ruthless.

Xiao Jingqing pulled Zhou Xiya, my father asked his daughter-in-law to apologize.

Zhou Xiya clenched her fists and opened it again, glanced at Xiao Jingqing, it's just for him, Zhou Xiya knelt on the ground, "Father, daughter-in-law doesn't mean this, father misunderstood daughter-in-law, everything in the future of the daughter-in-law is for me and my father-in-law's children, I and Xiao Jingqing are the same, but Xiao Jingqing is busy with affairs, and it is not appropriate for a prince of the Hou Mansion to come forward to talk about business with others, and the daughter-in-law is just looking for someone to come forward now, and the daughter-in-law will be cautious in the future, and will not let the Xiao family lose face." ”

Xiao Houye picked up the teacup, and looked at Zhou Xiya, who was kneeling on the ground, but with a straight back, and had to admit in his heart that she was worthy of being Zhou Jianxiong's daughter, with backbone, if such a daughter-in-law was in an ordinary family, she would definitely be able to assist her husband and support this family, but now this is in the Xiao family, and the Xiao family does not allow her daughter-in-law to be too sharp.

"Madam, discipline the housekeeper well." Xiao Houye finally threw away his sleeves, he knew that it was not easy for Zhou Xiya to hand over the things in his hand, so he simply ignored it.

After being taught a few words by Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao let her go, probably she also knew that Zhou Xiya was a soft and hard person, and there was no way to take Zhou Xiya, so she simply couldn't see it and not be bothered.

The two returned to their courtyard, Zhou Xiya was about to go to the bathroom to freshen up, Xiao Jingqing stopped her, "How can you easily say such a thing as resignation, where did you put me?" ”

Zhou Xiya looked at him deeply, "Your parents don't like me, your brother and sister-in-law embarrass me, there are many contradictions between me and your family, maybe my choice was wrong from the beginning, I shouldn't marry you, so you don't have to be so tired, and you can say good things on both sides."

"You want to leave me?" Xiao Jingqing was a little injured.

"I just feel a little sorry for you, you are very good to me, but I have a deep contradiction with your family, no, the contradiction is too light, but hatred, endless hatred, your eldest brother and third brother I must get rid of, you are caught in the middle is very difficult, now it is just the beginning, the contradiction between us has intensified, I don't know what will happen in the future, I don't want you to be caught in the middle anymore, you still have your ambitions to achieve, and I am likely to become a burden to you, Rather than because of these outsiders, we have conflicts and complain to each other, it is better to let go, so that you are calm and I am at ease. Zhou Xiya said her thoughts very calmly, she couldn't help but plan for the future, their marriage was too hasty.

"Outsiders' affairs will not affect us" Xiao Jingqing stared at Zhou Xiya with both eyes, she didn't expect her to really have the heart to leave, I thought she was angry, could it be that the mutual affection these days is fake, he has paid so much, but he has not warmed her heart.

"How could it not, they are your father and brother, your relatives, I am just your wife, you have to make a choice sooner or later, rather than being abandoned at that time, it is better to leave early, so that your heart will not hurt." Zhou Xiya's face finally had a look of pain, she regretted it, regretted that she shouldn't marry Xiao Jingqing for revenge, so that she wouldn't fall into Xiao Jingqing's gentle whirlpool and couldn't extricate herself, she was afraid that she would compromise with the people of the Xiao family for Xiao Jingqing, so how could she be worthy of the dead Li Mu.

"Xiya, there won't be that day, I won't let you be the one who was abandoned." Xiao Jingqing tightly kept Zhou Xiya, at this moment, he knew that Zhou Xiya loved him, just because he loved her, so he didn't want him to be embarrassed, at this moment he was both sweet and bitter in his heart, he really hated his incompetence, not only the pressure of his father, but also the brothers around him, so that he could not protect his woman wholeheartedly.

"Xiao Jingqing, I really don't want to embarrass you" Zhou Xiya hugged his waist tightly, and tears flowed into Xiao Jingqing's clothes.

"There won't be this day, if there really is such a day, I will stand by your side, if not, we will leave the Xiao family, I will take you away, stay away from right and wrong, as long as you are by my side, I can't go anywhere." Xiao Jingqing gently stroked Zhou Xiya's long hair, his father wants to fight for the throne, the future prince must be the eldest brother, his second brother is not in harmony with the eldest brother, and he will be an eyesore in the future.

"Stupid words, what about your ambitions, what about your ambitions, you are an ambitious man, a person who can pretend to be the world, and you shouldn't be burdened by me." Zhou Xiya burst into tears and smiled, although she knew that Xiao Jingqing's words could not be realized, but there was still a trace of hope in her heart, and it was also a blessing for people to be able to see the mountains and rivers with her beloved.

"What will happen in the future, I don't know, but I only know that you are the one I will never let go, you are already with me, to uproot you is to gouge out my heart, I want to live, I have to protect you." Xiao Jingqing held Zhou Xiya's hand and put her hand on his heart.

"How should you let me do to you" Zhou Xiya felt bitter in her heart, how could she be worthy of Xiao Jingqing's deep affection-

Three days later, Steward Wu came to report "Miss, some traces have been found" (to be continued. )
