Chapter 372: Despair

Bai Cao was preoccupied, and Bai Ling was a victim, so Bai Cao didn't plan to go back to Yang's house so early, and stayed in Bai Mansion to accompany Bai Ling.

In his selfish heart, Bai Cao didn't want Bai Ling and the two to break up.

But when it got dark, Bai Wei still didn't go home.

Bai Ling was angry, but he didn't stop Bai Cao from sending people out to find Bai Wei, and he also sent people out.

The capital seems to be in good order, but it is all an appearance, and there are many people who are secretly engaged in illegal trading.

Once Bai Wei is left alone, it is very likely to be in danger, after all, she is just a girl's family, and she doesn't know how to do kung fu.

Shaw House.

Xiao Muqing looked at her father and brother in disbelief, how long has she only been back in Beijing, and they are going to abandon her?

Looking at Shangguan Yu like an old monk who was in a state of mind, Xiao Muqing was even more heartbroken.

The family would be so angry, why not because of the existence of Shangguan Yu, otherwise even if Bai Ling was kind to the Xiao family, the Xiao family would not let a concubine marry into a remote place that could not bring any benefits to the family.

"Father, mother, this time Qing'er is really confused, not trying to harm Bai Ling. Qing'er also couldn't bear to see her brother like Bai Ling, but she couldn't end up married if she had a lover, so she ......"

"Shut up!" Old Master Xiao shouted angrily, but Yu Guang looked at Shangguan Yu who was verifying, "No matter how many reasons you have, you shouldn't attack the county lord of the dynasty, let alone design your brother!" The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules, so if you are not willing to accept such an arrangement, your father will not mind sending you to a nunnery. ”

"Mother, don't you love Qing'er the most? Pray for me. The daughter is the daughter of the Xiao family, if she marries a rural village husband, what is the face of the Xiao family? Mother! The daughter is the daughter of the family, even if she is the queen, how can you bear to let your daughter live that kind of Qin concubine life in the future? Xiao Muqing cried and begged.

"Sir." Mrs. Xiao turned her head to look at Master Xiao.

"If it weren't for your habit of her, she would be so ignorant. Habitual son is like a murderer, while she can still keep one, hurry up and prepare a dowry, be sure to marry her out within a month, otherwise don't blame me for being a father who is not polite. Old Man Xiao only slapped the table angrily.

Mrs. Xiao is the leader in the inner courtyard, but when she encounters this situation, she doesn't know what to do.

"Pack your things immediately and prepare to get married with peace of mind. If you are not satisfied with the marriage, then leave the Xiao family, and the Xiao family can save a dowry. ”

After Master Xiao finished speaking, he wanted to brush his sleeves away, only to find that Shangguan Yu was still sitting in the hall.

As the head of the family, Master Xiao is not afraid of Shangguan Yu.

But Master Xiao didn't dare to bet, in case Shangguan Yu really didn't give up and made Xiao Muqing's actions public, the reputation of the Xiao family would be affected.

Not only the entire Xiao family, but also the position of the head of the Xiao family, I am afraid that he will also abdicate and make way for Xian.

As a descendant, Master Xiao was unwilling to lose power, so he could only sacrifice his daughter who grew up not around.

"Shangguan Shizi, are you satisfied?" Master Xiao squinted his eyes and asked extremely unhappily.

"Master Xiao is selfless, and this son has nothing to say." Shangguan Yu sneered in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.

If something happened to Bai Ling, his life might not be guaranteed, but the punishment that Xiao Muqing got was that he was married far away.

In Shangguan Yu's opinion, Master Xiao's handling was biased, but he was not good at interfering in the affairs of the Xiao family.

"Brother Shangguan, why are you doing this to me? Do you know that I like you, and I am not good enough to make you rather be with a village girl than marry me? Xiao Muqing knew that her ending would not change, so she wanted to fight for herself one last time.

"Ling'er is the most beautiful woman in the world, how can you compare to her? The thing of abandoning the pearl and exchanging sesame seeds will never be done by this son. Shangguan Yu said ruthlessly.

Xiao Muqing only felt that it was dark in front of her, muttered something softly, and fainted in the hall.

This incident did not alarm the government, the Xiao family did not drive her out of the house, Xiao Muqing was naturally the eldest lady of the Xiao family, and was immediately carried to the guest room to rest by the waiting mothers-in-law.

Master Xiao was upset, so he simply walked away, and the family was tossed by Xiao Muqing, and he would not participate anymore.

"O my poor daughter!" As soon as Master Xiao left, Mrs. Xiao pounced on Xiao Muqing, hugged her and cried.

"Mother!" Xiao Muqing cried bitterly.

For feelings that never belonged to her, and for the future at a loss.

Shangguan Yu glanced at the mother and daughter, got up and left, and didn't have to pollute his ears.

Xiao Mu also wanted to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Muqing.

"Brother, you said that you would protect Qing'er for the rest of your life, you want to protect Qing'er, why did you do this to me?" Xiao Muqing shouted sadly.

Xiao Mu's footsteps paused slightly, but he didn't look back.

"Please give me back my gentle and kind sister, is that okay?" Xiao Mu was heartbroken, and his voice was trembling.

Since Xiao Muqing was born, Xiao Mu has vowed to protect her as she grows up.

Even if Xiao Muqing did something wrong, Xiao Mu chose to forgive her.

But this time, Xiao Mu is cold, a sister who even has to calculate his own brother, he really can't afford it, and he can't protect it.

Maybe Xiao Muqing never thought about it deeply, but just designed this thing for her personal little thought.

But even if Bai Ling doesn't have a backstage, he is also the county lord of the emperor's entitlement.

If Xiao Mu is really innocent and is discovered in public, no matter how things are handled, the reputation of the Xiao family will be irretrievable, and Xiao Mu's life will be stained.

The point is what the emperor will think?

Has the Xiao family become so big that they are not even afraid of imperial power? Even the county lord's idea has to be beaten.

Using the future and life of the entire Xiao family to protect Xiao Muqing, Xiao Mu, as the young master, can only choose.

"Brother!" Xiao Muqing was really scared.

In the entire Xiao family, it is not his parents who love Xiao Muqing the most, but Xiao Mu's brother.

Now that Xiao Mu is decisively gone, it means that everything has not changed.

The desperate Xiao Muqing's heart-rending shouts made Xiao Mu's pace messy and faster, almost escaping from Xiao's mansion.

The outside world doesn't know about the Xiao family, the Xiao family covers it tightly, and the Bai family and Shangguan Yu won't say anything to the outside world.

After coming out of Xiao's house, Bai Wei, who had never returned home, had been hiding near Xiao's house, wanting to wait for Xiao Mu to come out, say happy birthday to him, and see if he would be very sad.

Bai Wei knew that she couldn't appease Xiao Mu, and she might be by his side, so she was at ease.

Xiao Mu's thoughts were disordered, he didn't go out in a carriage, he walked aimlessly alone, bumped into passers-by and street vendors several times, and didn't even say a word of apology, and kept moving forward.

Bai Wei followed behind, not less compensation, but also compensated the vendor's silver, otherwise people who didn't know who Xiao Mu was, it was not necessary to come forward and beat him violently.

In the end, Xiao Mu chose a tavern, sat in the corner and poured wine violently, wanting to get drunk and relieve a thousand sorrows.

Bai Wei was afraid that something would happen to Xiao Mu, so she sat not far away and watched, crying in distress, and her resentment towards Bai Ling was even deeper.

"Xiao Gongzi ......" Bai Wei called in a low voice, but she didn't have the courage to sit next to Xiao Mu, unaware that she had already burst into tears, which caused many people to look sideways.
