Chapter 245: Xiao Lao commits suicide
"Sister, he helped outsiders to slander me, why don't you talk about him?" Xiao Mu roared.
Considering that the emperor was still there, Concubine Xiao tried her best to restrain her anger and reprimanded in a low voice: "Xiao Mu, shut up!" β
"Sister, this old man ......"
Syllable!
Concubine Xiao slapped Xiao Mu in the face, knocking him to the point where he staggered several steps.
He covered his beaten cheek and looked at Concubine Xiao with incredible eyes.
"Sister, you actually beat me?"
"Don't be disrespectful to your father!" Concubine Xiao reprimanded.
"Sister......
Ah Yao didn't have the heart to waste time on them, and raised her eyes respectfully to look at the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Lao's words have been made very clear, please punish Xiao Mu for arson and murder of his father, and also try to frame everything against me."
"This ......"
The emperor was embarrassed to look at Xiao Lao and Concubine Xiao's sisters and brothers, if Xiao Mu was punished, then Ah Yao would also be punished in Xiao Mansion.
He doesn't care about Xiao Mu, he cares about A-Yao.
"Please ask the emperor to punish the crime!" Yao repeated.
The emperor frowned coldly, "Ah Yao......"
"Your Majesty, it must be that Ah Yao did something to my father, threatening my father to say those words just now, and begging the emperor to find out."
Xiao Mu knelt at the emperor's feet, pulled the emperor's dragon robe and hurriedly said.
The emperor was silent and glanced at Xiao Mu with his hand.
Concubine Xiao also knelt down, "Your Majesty, the doctor said that my father couldn't move or speak all over his body, and I don't know what A-Yao did to my father just now, my father suddenly became like this, this matter is really strange." β
"Ah Yao, what did you do to Xiao Lao?" The emperor asked in a deep voice.
"If you go back to the emperor, Ah Yao will inherit Xiaoyaozi, and her mother will be Soho, so she will be able to cure Xiao Lao's medical skills."
"You talk nonsense!" Xiao Mu pointed at Ah Yao and roared: "There are many famous doctors in Fengdu who have nothing to do, why do you say that you can cure my father?" β
"If they can't do it, it's because they're incompetent, what's my business?"
"You ......"
Ah Yao interrupted Xiao Mu impatiently, "What you have done yourself, you know best in your heart, now that Xiao Lao has told the truth himself, you don't want to quibble anymore." β
"I ......"
Xiao Mu knelt down in front of Xiao Lao's bed, threw himself on the edge of the bed and asked, "Dad, tell your son the truth, what did she do to you, why did you say something like that just now?" β
"Xiao Mu, don't be obsessed anymore." Xiao Lao said weakly.
"Dad, I'm wronged! I didn't do anything, why are you hurting me like this? β
"Ahemβ"
Ah Yao stepped forward, "Elder Xiao, don't get excited, your body has just improved a little, but don't be excited." β
Xiao Lao looked at her with a cloudy gaze, as if he regretted it a little, and seemed to be thinking about something else.
"Xiao Mu, you are guilty of a great crime, if you confess your guilt, the emperor may consider treating you lightly." A-Yao reminded.
"Huh...... Plead guilty? I am not guilty, so why should I confess my sin? β
Xiao Lao looked at him in disappointment, "Xiao Mu, you ......"
"You useless old man, outsiders think that you have been an official for many years, and you are a meritorious person in the DPRK, I will definitely get a lot of benefits from you, but only I know that I have not only benefited at all since I was a child, but I am also cautious in my words and deeds everywhere, and I live like a thief, where am I like a meritorious hero?"
"You ......"
Xiao Mu sneered, "If you hadn't provoked such an enemy, my mother wouldn't have died, you hurt me and my sister since we were children, and you didn't deserve to be a father at all." β
"Xiao Mu!" Concubine Xiao shouted.
"Sister, haven't you blamed him?" Xiao Mu asked.
Concubine Xiao didn't reply.
Tears wet Xiao Lao's eyes, and he blamed himself: "Blame me, blame me!" Hahaha...... It's me who didn't teach you well. β
After speaking, Xiao Lao looked at the emperor firmly.
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, the son is not the fault of the father, Xiao Mu did these things, all because I, as a father, did not teach well, please the emperor for the sake of my countless contributions to southern Xinjiang, and allow me to atone for Xiao Mu."
"Xiao Lao ......"
"Please ask the emperor to allow me to atone for Xiao Mu's sins." Xiao Lao repeated.
The emperor's thick eyebrows frowned, and he looked hesitant.
Xiao Lao smiled, "If the emperor doesn't speak, the old minister will agree." β
When the words fell, Xiao Lao bit off his tongue and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Xiao Lao!"
The emperor and Ah Yao shouted at the same time.
"Daddy!"
Concubine Xiao rushed over.
Xiao Mu was dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to react for a while.
Ah Yao checked Xiao Lao's injuries and shook her head at the emperor helplessly.
"Daddy!" Concubine Xiao cried and shouted.
Xiao Mu also came back to his senses, lying on the edge of the bed and shouting: "Dad, don't die!" What I just said is angry, don't blame me, wake up! β
Xiao Laoqiang took a breath and looked at Xiao Mu and Concubine Xiao, "Xiao Mu, you have to do it yourself in the future." β
"Daddy!"
No matter how Concubine Xiao's sisters and brothers shouted, Xiao Lao didn't have any response anymore.
Such an ending was something that A-Yao didn't expect.
A-Yao turned her head to look at the emperor, "Your Majesty ......"
"That's it!"
"But the emperor ......"
The emperor raised his hand to interrupt her and whispered: "Ah Yao, I don't want to protect Xiao Mu, the only person I want to protect from beginning to end is you." β
She understood what the emperor meant.
But she can't let Begonia be bullied in vain, she must seek justice for Begonia.
"If you want to protect me, you should punish Xiao Mu, he ......"
The emperor interrupted her again, "If you punish Xiao Mu, then you will not be able to escape the responsibility." β
"I'd rather be punished than let Xiao Mu go." Miss A-Yao is firm.
"You ......"
The emperor looked at her for a long time, sighed and looked away, "Your temperament is the same as your mother, and it gives me a headache." β
"Your Majesty, please punish Xiao Mu."
"You ......"
The emperor was embarrassed and looked at Xiao Mu's side.
Xiao Lao bit his tongue and committed suicide in front of him, just to resist everything for Xiao Mu, and even if he gave him a step, he didn't have to worry about A-Yao's affairs.
He thought about it for a long time, and made a decision in a deep voice, "This matter is over, and no one will mention it again in the future." β
"The Emperor's ......"
He raised his hand to interrupt A-Yao, "You don't have to say more. β
After speaking, the emperor turned around coldly and stopped looking at her.
"Your Majesty, you really want to ......"
The father-in-law beside the emperor approached Ah Yao and persuaded in a low voice: "Miss Ah Yao, don't say any more, the emperor should be unhappy if you continue to talk about it." β
"But do you really want to let Xiao Mu go?"
"Doesn't the girl understand? The emperor is unwilling to punish the girl, so he will let Xiao Mu go. β
"......"
The emperor's majestic voice came, "Go back to the palace!" β
"Yes."
The father-in-law glanced at Ah Yao meaningfully, and then left with the emperor.
Ah Yao watched the emperor go away, and looked at Concubine Xiao's sister and brother helplessly.
Xiao Mu, it's not over between us!
She was just about to walk out of the room when she was stopped by Xiao Mu behind her.
"Stop!"
She stopped at the door and looked back at Xiao Mu with an expressionless face, "Something?" β
Now that the two sides have fallen out to this extent, there is no need for her to give them a good face anymore.
Xiao Mu walked straight to her, "You killed my father, do you want to leave?" β
"What do you want to do?" Ah Yao asked coldly.
"Naturally, I want you to pay for my father's life!"
She sneered, "Are you joking?" You touch your conscience and ask, who killed Xiao Lao? β
"That's you!"
It's really a knife to pull her asshole, and she opened her eyes wide today.
If he is so shameless, he can say it.
The resentment in her heart has not disappeared, Xiao Mu is simply sent to the door to find death by herself!
She hugged her arms coldly, "Xiao Mu, you kidnapped Begonia by yourself, and you want to be violent against Begonia first, after I bumped into it and found it to be sent to the official, I found someone to come to Sufu to kidnap Begonia, and continue to commit violence against Begonia, I killed those men who abused Begonia and set fire to your yard, all of which you brought on yourself."
It's you who don't know whether you live or die, you set fire to Xiao Lao's courtyard, and you tried to frame me, and now Xiao Lao committed suicide because of you, all this blames you, you are the culprit, do you still have the face to blame me? β
In the end, Ah Yao couldn't wait to tear Xiao Mu's nonsense mouth.
"If you weren't nosy and had to take Lan Xin out of the palace, none of this would have happened."
Ah Yao laughed angrily.
It was her mistake to distinguish right from wrong with the wicked.
In the eyes of the wicked, everyone is an enemy of themselves, and everyone deserves to die.
She glanced at Concubine Xiao, who was full of tears, and said, "Who is Lan Xin?" How did she get taken out of the palace? β
"Lan Xin, she ......"
"Xiao Mu, stop up!" Concubine Xiao shouted loudly.
"Sister......
Syllable!
Concubine Xiao came to Xiao Mu and slapped him again.
"Sister, why are you still beating me?"
"The emperor said that the matter is over, and you are still pestering A-Yao, that is, you are wrong."
"Sister, I'm ......"
"Shut up!"
After interrupting Xiao Mu, Concubine Xiao walked up to Ah Yao, "No matter what misunderstanding there is between you and Xiao Mu, since the emperor has said it, I hope you will not hate each other in the future." β
"It's a little difficult."
A-Yao does not hide her hatred for Xiao Mu.
Concubine Xiao was slightly stunned, a little surprised by A-Yao's attitude towards herself.
She smiled at Ah Yao and said softly: "Ah Yao, I heard that you have opened a store in Fengdu, you plan to take root in Fengdu, right?" β
"That's the plan."
"Xiao Mu has some connections in the business community of Fengdu, if you offend him, I am afraid that the road in Fengdu will be difficult in the future, you have to think clearly."
Ah Yao snorted disdainfully: "Do you think I will be afraid of him?" β
"A-Yao, I know your identity is not ordinary, but don't you want to know who killed your mother?" Concubine Xiao asked.
"Do you know who killed my mother?" Ah Yao asked rhetorically.
Concubine Xiao smiled but said nothing.
"Who killed my mother?" Yao continued to ask.
Concubine Xiao smiled at her, "If you are willing to let Xiao Mu go and not be an enemy of him in the future, I will tell you everything I know." β
A-Yao was silent, as if she was compromising on whether it was worth it.
"I know you're investigating your mother's murderer, if you can get these clues from me, you can save a lot of trouble, you really don't want to know?" Concubine Xiao asked again.
Ah Yao glanced at Xiao Mu not far away, and said slowly: "I can only promise to let Xiao Mu go today, if he takes the initiative to provoke me in the future, then I can't give up." β
"Okay, as long as you say yes, I'll convince him not to provoke you."
"Deal! What do you really know? β
