Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Han Kuangsi hurriedly raised his glass and said a few words to whitewash the peace, and all the officials also understood in their hearts, as he should be in harmony, they sang and changed the topic.

After three rounds of drinking, it was late at night, and the banquet was over. Xiao Siwen and Xiao Xuan walked in the front, Han Kuangsi and Han Derang followed, everyone followed, and a group of people walked out of the restaurant.

Xiao Siwen hugged his fists and saluted, Xiao Sui saluted everyone, and the two got into the carriage of the Xiao family. The family members of the officials bowed and saluted, and did not dare to stand up straight until the curtain of the Xiao family's carriage was lifted.

Han Derang was a little disappointed, and was about to hang his head, only to hear Xiao Xuan's voice coming from the carriage, "Brother Derang", he suddenly raised his head in surprise, and saw Xiao Xuan open the curtain on the side of the carriage and poke his head out, and smiled.

Han Derang took three steps and two steps, stepped forward, and looked at her gently, "What's wrong with Yanyan?" ”

Xiao Xuan leaned forward mysteriously, leaned into his ear, and whispered, "Let's come to Fuyuan Restaurant another day, I like it here!" Xiao Xuan blinked.

"Okay." Han De's heart warmed, this girl still has her own in her heart.

The carriage of the Xiao Mansion drove away, and Han Derang was still smiling in the dust, as if he could still smell the faint fragrance of peony flowers on Xiao Xuan's body, which he taught her to plant.

The twilight was deep, the carriage was shaking, and Xiao Sui fell asleep on Xiao Siwen's shoulder in a daze.

"Yanyan, I'm home." Xiao Siwen patted Xiao Sui gently, and Xiao Sui rubbed her sleepy eyes.

Xiao Siwen led Xiao Sui into Xiao's mansion, and the doorkeeper who was originally leaning on the door to nap heard the movement, jumped up in shock, and cowardly called "Master", so he lowered his head and didn't dare to look up.

"Is the second lady back?" Xiao Siwen's face was expressionless.

"Not yet, haven't—" The attendant's head hung lower.

"Go and light the courtyard lamps and call all the people to the courtyard!" Xiao Siwen's voice was much higher, and his anger increased greatly.

Xiao Xuan, who was still dizzy, trembled in shock and immediately came to his senses.

The attendant replied "yes" in a trembling voice, and hurriedly ran to call someone.

Xiao Siwen saw Xiao Xuan staring at him with wide eyes, he endured the anger in his heart and patted Xiao Xuan's shoulder, "Yanyan, you go and call your mother." ”

Xiao Sui heard that his father was angry because his sister had not come home yet, and he didn't dare to ask any more, so he nodded and went to call Mrs. Xiao.

In Mrs. Xiao's bedroom, Mrs. Xiao was wearing a robe, and Xiao Xuan was sitting on a round stool, drooping her head, "It's late at night, and the second sister hasn't come back yet, and my father is so angry." ”

Mrs. Xiao straightened the placket, inserted a hairpin diagonally, thought for a moment and pursed her lips slightly, "Let's go." ”

Xiao Xuan stood up when she heard the sound, went to take Mrs. Xiao's arm, and before opening the door, she stopped, "Mother, if the second sister comes back after a while, you must persuade your father not to scold her, my sister is just playful and has not done anything bad..."

Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Sui with satisfaction, and said lovingly: "Good boy, if your second sister is like you, it will be good to feel sorry for you." ”

Xiao Xuan lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "Second sister, she loves me very much..." Sister, she hurts herself very much, but that was in the past.

Mrs. Xiao's eyes were full of pity, and then she sighed, thinking that she and Xiao Siwen were both flat and impartial in a bowl of water on weekdays, but this little daughter was indeed their treasure, and she would use her title of Princess of Yan Kingdom to Xiao Sui when she was born to make small characters, and she was sensible and dexterous, and she was loved, inevitably, it was inevitable that she treated her second daughter poorly, perhaps, maybe they did something wrong.

The attendants in the courtyard stood in two columns, each carrying a lantern in his hand, and the courtyard was as bright as day.

When Jerod heard the voice, he also came out, and stood aside, and remained silent.

Xiao Siwen put his hands behind his back, clenched his fists slightly, and his face was solemn. Xiao Xuan held Mrs. Xiao and stood behind Xiao Siwen.

The courtyard was full of people, but it was silent, and the entire Xiao Mansion was waiting for Xiao Shuangshuang, who had not returned for a long time.

"Squeak..." The side door of Xiao Mansion was pushed open, and a light pink figure appeared, there was no lantern at the courtyard gate, and only the pink figure could be seen shaking in the gray. Xiao Shuangshuang is back.

Xiao Shuangshuang, who was light-hearted, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this battle in the courtyard, and he was stunned in the gray shadow of the mansion gate, not daring to go to the courtyard again.

"Shuangshuang, come here." Xiao Siwen's calm voice echoed in the courtyard, faintly angry.

Xiao grabbed the dress tightly with both hands, and the soft skirt was wrinkled. She walked to the middle of the brightly lit courtyard with small steps and walked in front of Xiao Siwen.

Xiao Sui stared at her nervously, and then looked at her father, not knowing what to do, Yelu raised his hand obliquely and touched the back of his head, but the family matter was difficult to break. Mrs. Xiao did not speak.

Xiao Siwen said, "Why did you come back late at night?" Do you have any reasons for this? ”

Xiao Shuangshuang, who had been keeping her head down, was thinking about countermeasures, and was about to raise her smile to be coquettish, but when she looked up, she saw Xiao Siwen's cold face like ice, and her smile was quite embarrassed to retract.

"Did you fool around with Zhao Wangye?" Xiao Siwen said sharply, the word 'fool' was said, which was enough to see how angry he was. was angry not only because Xiao Shuangshuang returned home late at night, but also because the person who was with her was King Zhao.

Xiao Shuangshuang's heart trembled, 'fool', this is the second time his father has embarrassed himself. Thinking back to the first time, her hateful eyes skimmed over Yelu and turned to Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan frowned, lowered his head, and bit his lower lip. Yelu slanted his face as calm as Xiao Siwen, and secretly thought in his heart that these two young ladies were really brainless, and they had provoked Xiao Siwen's taboo people.

"I'm asking you, what are you staring at your sister for!" Xiao Siwen became more and more grounded.

Xiao Shuangshuang lowered his eyes, his eyes exuded coldness, but he still smiled, "Yes, I can't compare to your Yanyan, I can be with you, I can only go out and fool around with others." Her pretty eyes looked at the inky sky, as deep as the night sky.

Xiao Xuan raised his head suddenly, tears burst out of his eyes, and one by one fell to the ground, silent. Jerod quietly moved to her side, his broad palm caressing her shoulder as a sign of comfort.

"You, you..." Xiao Siwen raised his palm, gathered enough strength, and was about to fall hard. Xiao Shuangshuang didn't dodge, raised his face and closed his eyes, facing the slap that Xiao Siwen was about to fall.

Mrs. Xiao hurriedly took a few steps forward, and pushed Xiao Shuangshuang lightly, Xiao Siwen's palm fell into the air, and he was relieved in his heart, but fortunately he didn't hit Xiao Shuangshuang's face. Hit the child's body, and the pain is in the father's heart. I'm just angry. Xiao Siwen turned his back to them and let out a long sigh of relief.

Mrs. Xiao reprimanded softly on the side, "There are more and more rules, whoever you go out to play with should also inform me and your father, we are not against you and Lord Zhao being confidants and friends... It's just..."

Xiao Shuangshuang on the side looked at the dark night, and interrupted in an indifferent voice, "I and Lord Zhao are not confidants and friends. ”

Xiao Siwen relaxed a little, and was about to comfort his second daughter, but before he could turn around, he heard Xiao Shuangshuang's cold voice and said, "Prince Zhao asks to marry me as his wife and become Princess Zhao." Xiao Siwen's body stiffened, and he slowly turned around like an old man, looking at Xiao Shuangshuang in disbelief.

Mrs. Xiao looked at her second daughter with a complicated expression, while Xiao Sui raised her teary eyes and looked at Xiao Shuangshuang, and said softly, "Second sister, you said, are you going to get married?" ”

Jerod was also slightly surprised.
