73-74

Chapter 73: The two of them were really going crazy

After explaining and seeing that everyone was only half-convinced, Xiao Yuanshi did not explain further.

Many times they were going too far, doing too much.

Then, he hurriedly said that his house had prepared clothes and food and wanted to let his parents go back first to change clothes and eat.

He was really afraid that if he let these people continue, he would really be doomed tomorrow.

He was even more afraid that others would mock him.

He hated his identity as a farmer's son and hence was very unwilling to let others know some of his background.

He was most unwilling to talk about his past, and because of that, he did not want the people from his hometown to appear.

The situation was previously in control, so how did the people from the old residence become so bold?

Xiao Yuanshi only heaved a sigh of relief when he brought them out from the crowd of onlookers.

His eyes narrowed even more. There was something wrong with his mother just now.

In the past, she would definitely directly criticise and throw a tantrum at him. Why did it seem like her personality had changed?

He should better investigate this properly.

When they arrived at the general's residence, their expressions became increasingly unsightly as they looked around.

Not only was the general's residence very big, there were also groups of servants.

The clothes that those servants wore were all better than the clothes that they wore in the village.

It was exactly what Shi Qingluo had said.

That woman had casually prepared some fabric for them, but they had actually treated it as a treasure.

Damn it, she had played them for a fool.

Old Lady Xiao was unhappy, which explained the expression on her face.

In front of the servants and housekeepers who were secretly sizing her up, she looked at Xiao Yuanshi and said, "Your wife is very prideful. Even when her in-laws came, she did not come out to welcome us. This general's wife is really impressive."

Not only was she being sarcastic, there was also a thorn in her heart.

Just like Shi Qingluo said, she was clearly his mother. If they didn't break off their kinship, she should be the one in charge of the family.

She should have been the family head, but now it was taken by a shameless hoof.

She was unhappy and aggrieved.

Xiao Yuanshi still smiled and replied, "Chunru doesn't know that you and father are coming, so she didn't come out to welcome them. I hope you can forgive her."

The emperor aimed to rule the world with filial piety.

In front of his biological parents, he could not do anything disobedient or say anything unpleasant.

In particular, although these two people were biased and ignored him as their second son, they did not mistreat him.

If they were to let someone investigate, it wouldn't be good if they found something.

Old Lady Xiao sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid? There are so many servants and maidservants here. Shouldn't they have reported this earlier? She is just trying to show us her might. She wants me, her mother-in-law, to act according to her mood in the future. Ptui!"
