My Ferocious Tigress Wife - Chapter 155

Chapter 155: Over-defense

Translator: 549690339

No one had expected Sikong Xiao’s reaction to be so great. Madam Xie, who was full of dissatisfaction and complaints, felt powerless for no reason. She hadn’t even used all her strength.

He was just saying things out of anger.

Everyone knew that the parents of the two brothers of the Xiao family had died when they were young. The brothers supported each other. In order to let the second son of the Xiao family study, the eldest son of the Xiao family did not hesitate to ask the house of the private school teacher to do manual labor. In the end… The private school teacher took a fancy to her and married her only daughter to him.

The private school teacher’s daughter was Xiao Baoshan’s mother.

Coinciding with the chaos of 100 hits, Sikong Xiao’s martial arts made him shine during the local defense war. Later, with the promotion of Jingling Prefecture, Sikong Xiao’s descendants were ranked among the three dukes.

The reason why Second Brother Xiao was able to maintain his integrity was because he was protected by Sikong Xiao and had never suffered any major setbacks.

” Brother, brother.” Second Master Xiao was beaten silly and even forgot the pain. “Don’t–we’re already in our forties. How embarrassing, it’s not to the extent of…Why don’t we discuss the marriage again?”

It was so soft that it was a mess.

Madam Xiao was too embarrassed to look at him. If she had known that this would be the outcome, why would she pretend to be a kind father and plan for her daughter? She even planned to give her future son-in-law a way out and get a chance to take advantage of him.

Sikong Xiao waved his hand impatiently.” Get out of here. Your eyes hurt just looking at you.””

“You agreed to the marriage so quickly, but the moment I came back, you immediately changed your mind. You want people to point at me and scold me for being harsh on your Second Mother.”

“Let’s just forget about it. You’re almost forty years old. Take care of your family. In the future, let’s mind our own business and not drag each other down. It has nothing to do with you that our family’s reputation is so bad. Your family betrayed you and stole my sister’s future husband.”

Sikong Xiao clapped his hands and sent out a row of guards. It was as if he was going to beat Second Master Xiao up if he said anything more.

Second Master Xiao was upright and upright in the imperial court, but he was very cowardly in front of his elder brother. He was afraid that he would lose his other leg when he saw the mighty and majestic guards in the courtyard. He really did not say anything more and dejectedly brought his daughter-in-law and daughter back to the Second household.

“Are you serious?” Madam Xie asked.”

“Do I look like I’m joking?” Sikong Xiao asked.

The three siblings of the Xiao family shook their heads silently. Others might not know, but Xiao Baoxin knew that his father had probably left a backup plan to protect his family.

Their first branch was fighting in the front, fighting to create a world. If it was good, it was naturally good. If the outcome was still bleak, they always hoped that the second branch could leave behind some foundation.

This showed that his father did not have much confidence in the future.

After all, history had already been formed, but there were too many variables in the future. Even the emperor, who was the ruler of the country, could not guarantee that he could ensure the peace and well-being of Daliang for many years.

Xiao Jing ‘ai was probably the only one who had such confidence in the future.

What an innocent and persistent child.

She had not married Yang Shao like in her previous life. Neither of them had left Jiankang, and Yang Shao had also become a direct general by the emperor’s side. With such a big change in life, she had always thought that as long as she married Yang Shao, he would be the founding emperor, and she would naturally be the mother of the country.

She wanted to touch Xiao Jing ‘ai’s head and let her soak in the water to see if she would wake up.

Of course, she didn’t really care if she was sober or not.

The person that he cared about was now Sikong Rul.

He wasn’t that black-hearted to let her kill his niece personally. He was just a vain little lady who wanted to climb up the social ladder-no, a woman?

Forget it, it was too strange.

He did not want to kill Xiao Jing ‘ai. Firstly, it was not worth it. She could not control the entire situation. Secondly, she might not know everything about the future, but it was better than them fumbling blindly. There was always a certain reference.

That was why he flatly rejected Second Master Xiao’s suggestion of breaking off the engagement.

In fact, he didn’t even want to kill Yang Shao.

He was a hero in troubled times and a talent. He couldn’t bear to do so. After all, he didn’t have any deep hatred.

Moreover, if there really was a chaotic world, if it wasn’t Yang Shao, it would be someone else who took the opportunity to rise to power. Could you defend against one Yang Shao, or could you defend against thousands of people who wanted to become emperors themselves?

Defend, can’t defend.

After understanding this, Sikong Xiao felt much more relaxed. He didn’t have the thought of waiting for an opportunity to start a rebellion and take advantage of the chaos. He knew that he didn’t have the ability to do so. Furthermore, Emperor Yu Heng was his Bo Le, and all his glory was bestowed upon him by Emperor Yu Heng. As long as Emperor Yu Heng was still in power, he would not let him down.

As for the future, it would only be for self-preservation.

Sikong Xiao was a pragmatic person who didn’t have empty dreams.

Let’s celebrate the Ghost Festival as a family

This was just a dream.

Sikong Xiao’s anger continued. He didn’t even allow Second Master Xiao to come over for a reunion during the Ghost Festival. Instead, he sent someone to urge Second Master Xiao to move.

Even Madam Xie couldn’t stand it anymore. It was good to move away. It would give her daughter face and make everyone not dare to underestimate Baoxin. However, it was a big festival. Wasn’t it too much of a defense to kick someone out?

Sikong Xiao ignored him and kicked Second Master Xiao, who had come to beg for forgiveness, and dragged him into the room. The two brothers chatted for two hours behind closed doors before Second Master Xiao came out pitifully. Without another word, he spread the news that day to find another residence to stay in.

Sikong Xiao naturally didn’t tell him the truth. He had kept his daughter’s secret for so long, so he couldn’t reveal it to him.

As a family, when brothers grew up, it was inevitable that they would have their own selfish motives. Even if he did not, if one day he leaked out his daughter’s matter, who knew what kind of people would be attracted…

He only needed to know that his elder brother didn’t care about him, but that he was still a family, and that they would be together in the same boat.

Second Master Xiao returned to the Second household and cried miserably. The few strands of his beard that were left were all gone by him. Madam Xiao was so annoyed that she wanted to go up and slap him unconscious.

“I’ve let my brother down. I actually gouged out my brother’s heart for my daughter. My eldest niece is my brother’s darling, and 1 actually agreed to my daughter’s plan to steal my niece’s future son-in-law. Why is she so shameless?”

He completely misunderstood Sikong Xiao’s meaning and thought that Sikong Xiao was giving face to Xiao Baoxin, angering him for bullying his eldest niece.

Sikong Xiao was a boorish person. He didn’t have many twists and turns, and he couldn’t make up a perfect lie. So, he let his younger brother think whatever he wanted. Of course, he was angry.

After crying for half the night, she ran to Xiao Jing ‘ai’s courtyard early the next morning and pointed at her nose to scold her. Xiao Jing’ ai was so angry that she didn’t know what to say. In the end, she left in a huff and ordered the servants to starve her for three days.

Xiao Jing ‘ai didn’t copy any Buddhist scriptures and burned them all.

It wasn’t until half a month later, when she was taken away from the courtyard she had lived in for more than ten years, that she realized what had happened. What was Xiao Baoxin doing?

Was he going to burn his bridges?
