Xiao Lingxiao said a word, and Xuan almost couldn't help laughing and enduring internal injuries.

Xiao Shuyong wanted to borrow Xuan to persuade Xiao Lingxiao, but he felt inappropriate when he thought about it, so he had to get up and say goodbye and leave in a hurry.

As soon as he went out, Xiao Lingxiao took off the white jade wrench and put it back in the brocade box, and asked Xuan, "What's going on?" How did you get out? ”

Liao Xuan briefly explained, the letter written by Xiao Lingxiao was really sent to the harem by Xiao Fengming, and after Liao Xuan got the letter, he managed to mention Xiao Lingxiao and Su Donghan's family affair in front of the emperor and the queen mother, and then skillfully asked for this white jade wrench from the queen mother.

"I guess the Lord ...... Ling Xiao, you'll probably be able to use it. Xuan smiled and looked at Xiao Lingxiao, his eyes were full of tenderness.

Xiao Lingxiao knew that Xuan was worried about her, and this heart was enough to make her grateful.

It was inconvenient for Liao Xuan to stay in the Lu Mansion for a long time, and he was about to leave before he could hold the lamp.

"It doesn't matter if you live here." For Xiao Lingxiao, it is not a big deal to let a man stay in his own house, not to mention that the house is so big and spacious.

When Xuan heard Xiao Lingxiao's words, his heart jumped a beat, but he immediately smiled and shook his head, "Zheng Mingxiao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, invited me to him, and I will stay in his mansion for a few days." ”

Xiao Lingxiao suddenly realized when she heard this, and said with a smile, "You, a divine monk, are a piece of fragrant bread in the imperial city, so I won't compete with them." ”

Liao Xuan smiled a little helplessly and shook his head, and after a few words, he left the mansion and took the carriage and horse to the Zheng Mansion.

After sending Xuan away, Xiao Fengming stood behind Xiao Lingxiao and said quietly, "If you want to gain a foothold in this imperial city, you should pay attention to your own reputation." Don't invite any man to stay in this house in the future. ”

Xiao Lingxiao looked back and saw that Xiao Fengming was a little angry, and wondered, "What do you pay attention to?" Don't you, a man, still live here? ”

As soon as Xiao Fengming heard this, the expression on his face immediately changed, and he raised his head as a matter of course and said, "I'm different!" With that, he turned and went to the inner courtyard.

Xiao Lingxiao looked at his back, and his heart was unexpectedly messed up by his domineering "I'm different".

It's too unproductive, isn't it? Xiao Lingxiao smiled bitterly and shook her head, and slowly walked towards the inner courtyard.

In the Prime Minister's mansion, in the Xianglin Courtyard, there was a crisp sound of porcelain breaking.

The old lady's hands trembled angrily, and she glared at Xiao Shuyong and scolded sharply, "Waste! You can't even cure a little girl, how can you carry the entire Xiao family! ”

Xiao Shuyong stood aside with his face pale and didn't say a word. How many years had he not seen his mother so angry, and how many years had he not heard his mother scold him like this. Xiao Shuyong felt aggrieved in his heart, he shouldn't have been involved too much in the affairs of this back house, but now it seems to be his responsibility. He also wanted to say, Mother, you are in control of all the things in the inner house, are you not responsible for this matter? But he didn't dare to say this sentence anyway.

"Mother, don't be angry." It took a long time for Xiao Shuyong to speak comfortingly.

The old lady was angry and didn't know where to go, she slapped the table and said angrily, "The family is unfortunate! Bad luck at home! And that Qi's! Occupy the position of the eldest lady, can't even discipline a child! What's the use of the Xiao family wanting her! ”

Xiao Shuyong didn't dare to defend the Qi family, and stood there with his head down and listened to the old lady angrily muttering a lot about the Qi family.

After the old lady had enough chattering, she finally said, "Tomorrow, I will go to Nalu Mansion with you to have a look!" I don't believe it, she Xiao Lingxiao is a little girl, can she still turn the sky upside down! ”

Hearing the old lady say this, Xiao Shuyong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If the old lady is willing to come forward for this kind of thing, she will naturally get twice the result with half the effort, Xiao Shuyong finally had a good night's sleep that night.

In the evening of the next day, a carriage secretly left the Prime Minister's Mansion and came to the door of the Lu Mansion quickly.

Xiao Shuyong helped the old lady to the hall, and saw Xiao Lingxiao sitting there alone, and he didn't mean to bow to them at all.

The old lady sat down opposite Xiao Lingxiao angrily, didn't speak, and slapped the table first.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became much more solemn, Xiao Lingxiao looked at the old lady coldly, and the old lady also looked at Xiao Lingxiao coldly. Compared with Xiao Shuyong, the old lady is more calm, and people can feel the invisible pressure more, Xiao Lingxiao knows that the old lady is not easy to deal with, and she is more curious about how she will respond to her unreasonable requests.

Xiao Lingxiao knew best that it was almost impossible for the old lady and Xiao Shuyong to kneel down and beg her to go home, but the more impossible it was, the more she wanted to do it. Xiao Lingxiao did this, not because the two of them drove her out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, nor because they sent someone to kill her, but because the humiliation brought by these two people to the previous Xiao Lingxiao was something they couldn't imagine. They felt a great shame when they knelt down once, but the humiliation suffered by Xiao Lingxiao, who died, was not only a thousand times that of this kneeling!

"Do you think that if you have the silver, after marrying into the Mudd Palace, you will have the ability to fight against the Xiao family?" The old lady finally spoke, and said to Xiao Lingxiao in a very contemptuous tone, "Don't be delusional, the Xiao family's century-old foundation is definitely not something you can shake!" ”

Xiao Lingxiao smiled when she heard this, "Old lady, you are wrong. Xiao Lingxiao picked up the teacup in his hand, raised it high, and said softly, "If you want to shake the Xiao family's century-old foundation, you don't need silver, and you don't need the Mudd Palace." With that, the power of the divine wolf poured out of her fingers, and the teacup in her hand shattered and fell to the ground. Xiao Lingxiao picked the corner of her mouth and withdrew her hand, looked at the old lady with cold eyes, and said, "The so-called century-old foundation is wrong and fragile, the old lady should know best, right?" Look at the place you are in now, didn't the Lu family also have a century-old foundation back then? Back then, didn't even your old lady have to let the Lu family score seven points? A hundred years of foundation, nothing remarkable. ”

Although the old lady was still calm on the surface, in fact, her heart was already churning. Xiao Lingxiao deliberately chose to buy the Lu family's mansion, presumably because it could bring the greatest pressure to the Xiao family here. The collapse of such a behemoth as the Lu family in an instant made all the wealthy families fearful, and the Xiao family and the Lu family were closely related, and the shock was even more profound. The old lady used to be so ruthless to Xiao Lingxiao, in fact, to a large extent, because she had half of the Lu family's blood flowing in her body.

The old lady was afraid, afraid that the fate of the Lu family would befall the Xiao family sooner or later.

She looked at Xiao Lingxiao and felt that this little girl would become a demon after she came back from the dead, maybe this evil ghost would drag the Xiao family down from the high peak.

"Xiao Lingxiao, what do you want?" The old lady strengthened her mind and asked sharply.

Xiao Lingxiao sneered, glanced at Xiao Shuyong again, shook his head and said, "Since you still can't figure it out, I might as well tell you everything I'm going to do." Today you can choose not to kneel down and beg me, then I will not go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with you. Five days later, the Mudd palace failed to welcome the family, and the matter was bound to cause an uproar. At that time, everyone in the imperial city knew that Xiao Cheng could not control his daughter, and the Xiao family would become a laughing stock for everyone. Ah, to be a laughing stock again. Think about it, the eldest lady of the Xiao family has become the protagonist in the playbook, and the eldest lady of the Xiao family's relatives would rather tear her face with the Xiao family than go home, such a Xiao family is really interesting. ”

Xiao Lingxiao looked at the old lady and Xiao Shuyong's faces even worse, and continued with a smile, "The Mude Mansion is involved in it, so naturally it will not give up, this family matter is hand-picked by the emperor, and the old prince and princess will have to find the emperor to judge it when the time comes." Parents are short troubles, I don't know if the emperor will find it annoying? Even the prime minister who can't handle this kind of thing well, can the emperor still trust him with national affairs? The Xiao family has twice messed up the marriage appointed by the emperor, where is the emperor's face? When the time comes, if the emperor blames me, of course I will tell everything, including what I know, and ...... I don't know. ”

The old lady's face was pale, and she quietly listened to Xiao Lingxiao finish speaking, and for a long time, she slowly stood up, stared at a pair of eyes, gritted her teeth and asked Xiao Lingxiao, "You asked me and your father to kneel down and beg you, did we kneel, and you will go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with us?" ”

Xiao Lingxiao narrowed her eyes and nodded slightly, "I, Xiao Lingxiao, are the ones who speak, you kneel down and beg me, and I will go back with you immediately." ”

"Good!"

The old lady shouted angrily, gritted her teeth, held her head high, bent her knees, and fell to her knees with a thud.

Xiao Shuyong was shocked when he saw this, but before he could speak, the old lady said angrily, "Shuyong! You also kneel! ”

Xiao Shuyong was surprised and didn't know what to say, but when he saw the old lady's resolute expression, he had to grit his teeth and kneel. He looked up at Xiao Lingxiao, no longer hiding the resentment in his eyes, and said fiercely, "Little beast! Little brute! You're satisfied! ”

Xiao Lingxiao stood up and walked in front of the two of them, her face was not the slightest smug, but even colder, she opened her mouth and said to the two of them in a cold voice, "Resigned? Are you unwilling! When I lost my eyes, when I could no longer make a sound, when I woke up from my coffin, I felt a thousand times more resentment in my heart than you do now! Now you have a reason to kill me, but I have a thousandfold reason to kill you! ”

After saying this, Xiao Lingxiao took a deep breath, then turned around, strode out the door, and said loudly outside, "Bao Rong'er!" Prepare the carriage and horses, let's go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion! ”

In the hall, Xiao Shuyong helped the old lady to stand up, and the bodies of both of them were trembling slightly, but what was churning in their hearts now seemed to be no longer angry.

Xiao Lingxiao did what she said, and the team that returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion was quickly ready to go, and Xiao Shuyong and the old lady were startled when they went out.

Around a carriage, more than two dozen sturdy young men were riding tall horses, all with serious expressions and murderous spirits.
