Chapter 191: Chapter 191 the best of the old Xiao family came to visit

Thus, Eldest Grandson Xiao's beloved concubine had a pillow talk with him that night.

She spoke with admiration and adoration that she wanted to meet his cousin.

That was when Eldest Grandson Xiao knew that his cousin and that woman were the ones causing so much news in the capital.

He did not feel comfortable that his beloved concubine praised Xiao Hanzheng non-stop.

Then, he heard that offering the seeds could bring him many benefits.

He was concerned that Xiao Hanzheng would be able to excel from now onwards.

Although he was envious and jealous, he also wanted to take advantage of the situation.

Especially with someone beside him encouraging him to do so, he ran to the old lady's courtyard the next morning.

"Grandma, Xiao Hanzheng and his wife went to the capital."

Eldest Grandson Xiao told them about the seeds offering.

The old lady and the others were surprised.

They had heard about the heavenly-gifted seeds recently, but they didn't pay much attention to it because they were engrossed in attempting to improve their current status.

They really didn't know that Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo were behind this.

Eldest Grandson Xiao said indignantly, "Grandma, when Xiao Hanzheng and his wife came to the capital, they didn't even think of coming to the Xiao family to visit their second uncle and to show filial respect to you and grandfather. It's too much."

This was also what his beloved concubine had said.

She was very suspicious as to why her cousin and his wife did not visit the general's residence or stay for a while.

Old Lady Xiao's face darkened. "These two are unfilial."

Old Lady Xiao had been living very well in the general's residence recently, so she was a little carried away.

Eldest Grandson Xiao immediately urged, "Since they didn't come, let's go and find them. They can't just enjoy the huge benefits of offering the heaven-bestowed high-yield seeds themselves. We have to take advantage of this."

Old Lady Xiao made the decision. "Alright, we'll go and look for them after breakfast."

The others also felt that they should pursue this matter.

It would be foolish not to reap such benefits.

Hence, not long after Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo finished their breakfast with Mr. Hou, their housekeeper told them that the old Xiao family were looking for them.

Shi Qingluo smiled playfully. "They came quite fast."

It seemed that the old Xiao family had most likely been secretly manipulated by that woman.

Xiao Hanzheng wasn't surprised.

He was already prepared and asked their housekeeper to invite them in.

In the living room, the two of them sat leisurely and drank tea.

Soon, the old Xiao family came in.

When Old Lady Xiao came in and saw that Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo were sitting still, she was instantly unhappy.

She put on a haughty look and said, "Aren't you going to greet us, your elders? Do you want me to go out and share with others? You guys are too unfilial. The aristocratic families in the capital value filial piety the most."
