541 Agreement (2)
If Miss Yuan was really so insensible, then it was fine to annul this marriage.
Even if Song Jingchen knew that General Xiao was stubborn, he didn’t expect him to have such a strong opinion of Feng Manman.
If he didn’t make this trip, Eldest Miss Yuan’s plan would probably fail.
He pursed his lips and said something in a low voice.
“All the more reason not to let her enter the residence,” General Xiao shouted sternly. After saying that, he felt that his voice was too loud. He gritted his teeth and lowered his voice. “No, I’ll talk to that brat. If he still refuses to realize his mistake, I’ll definitely beat him awake today.”
Song Jingchen stopped him helplessly. “Uncle Xiao, I’m just suspicious. I don’t have any evidence yet.”
“Besides, if someone really schemes against your Xiao family again and again, you might be able to avoid it this time. What about next time?”
“Instead of being passively guarded, why don’t we see what the person behind this wants to do? How can we guard against thieves for a thousand days?” Song Jingchen guided patiently.
General Xiao frowned and pondered. Why would someone want to scheme against their family? Of course, it was because they had 100,000 soldiers stationed in the camp outside the city!
Half of the tiger talisman was in his hand, and the other half was in the emperor’s hand.
At this point, Song Jingchen knew that General Xiao would definitely agree to his suggestion.
At first, he only felt that Feng Manman was a little out of place. It was Shen Yijia’s words that reminded him. He did not believe that there were so many coincidences in the world.
Compared to the time Feng Man was disfigured, he had just obtained the name list not long ago.
Even now, he could not figure out where the matter of the name list had been leaked.
The person above would know that it was because he had deliberately revealed it. No matter how stupid he was, he wouldn’t make a fuss before finding the culprit.
Apart from the emperor and Lord Zhou, there was another person who knew about the name list.
Liu Piaopiao, who took out the name list!
Could it be her?
“Nephew, nephew?”
General Xiao’s voice brought Song Jingchen back to his senses. He said apologetically, “Uncle Xiao, what did you just say?”
“What I mean is, will the status of a concubine restrict that woman? If there’s really no other way, I’ll beat that brat up again and force him to marry her!”
The corners of Song Jingchen’s mouth twitched. Wasn’t this change a little too fast?
The main wife was naturally the best. However, when he thought about how that girl at home liked Miss Yuan, he decided to help her this time.
He shook his head and said righteously, “If it’s the official wife, it’s too deliberate.”
“That’s why I said that I would beat him up again. Then, he was forced to agree!” General Xiao felt that this method was quite good.
“It hurts to hit my son!” he thought.
In the past, he was actually quite satisfied with his son, Xiao Qirui. Now, compared to this young man in front of him, he felt a little disgusted.
He was fooled by a woman. How embarrassing.
Song Jingchen suspected that General Xiao simply wanted to hit his son.
Song Jingchen took two steps back and distanced himself from him. He still shook his head. “No need. You can do whatever you want. There’s no need to deliberately create conditions for her. The harder it is to obtain something, the more people will believe it.”
It was like a person picking up a piece of gold on the streets. They would suspect that it was fake, but what if it was stolen from someone else’s house?
Song Jingchen almost believed his own words!
General Xiao was speechless.
He said so much because that woman had ulterior motives.
“Then if that woman isn’t…”
“Then treat it as you fulfilling Brother Xiao’s wishes,” Song Jingchen said irresponsibly.
General Xiao was speechless.
After watching Song Jingchen leave, he turned around and returned to the concubine’s courtyard. Thinking of Song Jingchen’s words, he shivered. He remembered that this concubine was given to him by someone else.
He shrank back and wanted to go to the main courtyard. Thinking of Madam Xiao’s temper, he could only return to the front courtyard gloomily.
The poor concubine waited in the room for the entire night.
At the Yuan Family’s old residence.
You Bai spun around in circles gloomily.
Yuan Yuwan said helplessly, “If you have something to say, just say it.”
You Bai turned around and said with a bitter expression, “Miss, that Xiao guy is so protective of that woman. Why did you…”
She stopped calling him Young General Xiao.
“I’m doing this for myself. Marrying him is better than losing my life after marrying into Earl Rong’s residence.” Yuan Yuwan lowered her head. Her gaze fell on the book in her hand, but her thoughts flew back to two hours ago.
After confirming that General Xiao would definitely not agree to Xiao Qirui marrying that woman, she suggested that Xiao Qirui marry her as the main wife. Then, she would help him take that woman into the residence as a concubine.
