The Perfect Couple || Liskook

Chapter 70

When Eldest Son Xiao heard his question, he puffed out his chest.

With an arrogant look on his face, he said. “I am the big brother of General Yuanshi. Capture me if you can. Let’s see who will end up in prison.”

The guard looked at him and sneered. “Don’t be ridiculous. Does General Yuanshi have a brother who is a beggar?”

His words hit the Xiao family’s lungs, “We were robbed by bandits on the way here, that’s why we look like beggars.

“But we are indeed General Weiyuan’s relatives. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him to come to the capital gate.”

Eldest Son Xiao turned around and assisted Old Master Xiao, “This is his father. If he dares to disown his parents, it would be unfilial.”

Eldest Grandson Xiao, who was standing at the side, pointed at the road guide. “I am the nephew of General Weiyuan. You can ask around. This is the place where my second uncle was born.”

The guard looked at this group of beggar-looking people who still portrayed themselves confidently.

He could not make up his mind.

If they were really General Weiyuan’s relatives, it wouldn’t be good if they stopped them from entering the capital and offended those in the general’s residence.

But if they were lying and came to the capital to beg, it wouldn’t be good either.

Thus, the two of them discussed softly.

One of them looked at the people from the old Xiao family and said, “Do you know where General Weiyuan’s residence is?”

Eldest Son Xiao shook his head. “We don’t know. This is our first time in the capital.”

“Didn’t you ask General Xiao to send someone to pick you up? Or at least agreed on a time to meet at the capital gate?” One of them questioned.

Eldest Son Xiao scolded his younger brother in his heart. How could that bastard be so kind as to pick them up?

If he knew that they wanted to go to the capital, he would have prevented them directly.

But of course, he couldn’t say this out loud. “We had already written a letter before we set off. Who knew that we would encounter bandits on the way? This delayed us for a few days.”

Someone stood out and said, “Alright, then I’ll bring you to the general’s residence.”

If these people were really the family members of the general’s residence, he would be doing a favour by bringing them along.

If not, he would throw them into prison for a few days.

The guards remembered how these people had scolded them for being blind just now.

Old Master Xiao coughed lightly. “Then I’ll have to trouble you, capital guards.”

Right now, it was more important to find the general’s residence first.

Thus, under the lead of the gatekeeper, the whole group of people walked to the capital’s South Main Street.

South Main Street was the residence of the nobles who had risen in recent years.

The capital gate wasn’t close to South Main Street, and they had to walk for nearly an hour.

The people from the old Xiao family were all dressed in rags.

In total there were more than a dozen of them across all ages, including a few children who couldn’t walk anymore and were crying.

Because of this, wherever they went, they became a scenic spot.
