The two of them nodded in tacit understanding.
Xiao Yao faced the window as snow acc.u.mulated on the windowsill. In a short moment, only a vast expanse of snow-white was left.
Shen Chengfeng opened his mouth and said, "I don"t know what kind of plan father-in-law is, but I think that our plan definitely has some congenial meanings."
"Xiao Ming once told me that our Xiao family had been doing what we should do for so many years and had caused a misunderstanding among everyone in the upper echelons. He thought that we were just obedient chess pieces." Xiao Yao drew on the window with his finger. Under the pressure of the hot, cold air of the two heavens, a layer of water vapor condensed on the window. With a slip of his finger, water droplets rolled down, leaving behind a deep gully.
Shen Chengfeng added, "Perhaps we should create a good atmosphere for the next generation, and not let them be abandoned at any time."
"I also thought that we were soldiers and that the only choice I had was to obey the military order. But now I realized that they were using my family to protect the military." Xiao Yao turned around and looked at each other: "Your father and I have already discussed this. It"s time to make a move."
"You knew about that?"
"If you want people to not know what to do, how can I not guess?" Xiao Yao tapped the table with his fingertips, "What a great play."
"My plan is to hit the mountain and shake the tiger. I will be the first one to find the elder." Shen Chengfeng replied without hesitation.
"Coincidentally, I think so too. Old Qi and Old Xue are not that easy to deal with. One of them is a smiling man while the other one is a cunning fox, both of them are meticulous people. If we choose to deal with them, the other person would definitely think of a way to rope us in.
"Thus, the weakest person is chosen to give up first. Both of them have their own ulterior motives, so they will definitely not sincerely help each other. If they break this balance, then watch them fight amongst themselves."
"However, if we can think of something, they definitely can think of something as well. So, they will definitely try to rope us in and search for the old in front of us. The old man is a straightforward person who will easily be taken advantage of." Xiao Yao opened the military newspaper, "He was discharged yesterday."
"Looks like I shouldn"t delay any longer."
Xiao Yao did not comment, but when his eyes landed on Shen Chengfeng, he was at a loss of whether to laugh or cry and reminded him, "Why don"t we go get a wig to wear?"
Shen Chengfeng scratched his head, "I think this is good."
Xiao Yao did not say anything else, "It"s good that you like it."
"Knock, knock, knock." Qin Ran knocked on the door, "Has Master finished talking? It"s time for dinner. "
"It"s about time. Let"s go, we"ll talk after the meal." Xiao Yao walked out of the study room.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was still filled with the sound of laughter.
Xiao Zheng was a rough man. When he saw Shen Chengfeng"s head, he released the anger and resentment he had been suppressing all these years. He laughed out loud and said, "The heavens are the best."
"Ol "Three, let"s talk later if you have anything to say." Xiao Yao said with a faint voice as he picked up a vegetable.
Xiao Zheng swallowed back the rest of his words and could only stealthily size up that s.h.i.+ny round head.
"Dong, dong, dong." The sound of hurried footsteps came from the yard.
"Madam, the Marshal is not seeing guests today." The housekeeper attempted to stop Xiao Chen from entering, but he was forced to the ground by the group of people she brought.
Xiao Chen entered the house without looking at them. He looked at the group of people eating happily and smiled coldly, "Looks like I did not come at the right time. I disturbed your mood to enjoy the pleasures of heaven."
"Whap." Xiao Yao put down his chopsticks angrily and shouted, "Guards!"
The butler hurriedly led the guards in.
Xiao Yuan expressionlessly pointed at the elegantly dressed woman and said, "Send this madam out. No outsiders will be seen today."
However, Xiao Chen took off his jacket and snorted coldly, "My surname is Xiao after all. Even if you do not recognize me as your younger sister, I will still recognize my ancestors and consider myself a descendant of the Xiao Clan."
Xiao Yao stared angrily, "Xiao Chen, what do you think you have the face to talk about the descendants of the Xiao Clan to me?"
"Alright, let"s not talk about this. You are the most filial son of the country. Everyone knows that the marshal of the empire, Xiao Yao, respects his teachers and respects his parents. However, when I see you today, I feel that it is a misunderstanding."
"Xiao Chen, I will say it one last time to invite you out." Xiao Yao stood up, using both hands to support himself on the table and using all his strength to defend against his fury.
Xiao Chen mocked coldly, "What, I got it right. Are you angry out of embarra.s.sment?" "Xiao Yao, you kept saying that I killed father with no conscience and that you had a pretty good conscience. A family that was close to each other and ate together, yet you left your apoplectic mother alone in River City without a care in the world. This is your so-called conscience."
You are no longer a child of the Xiao family. I respect you as the first lady for being so kind, so I ask you to leave. If you take another step forward, I think I will throw you out. Xiao Yao roared.
However, Xiao Chen stood motionlessly in the center of the room. Surrounding him were the guards that were preparing to take action, and she said coldly, "I can leave. I just want to see how my mother"s most prized son ditched her."
"Let"s continue eating." Xiao Yao sat back in his chair and held his bowl, completely ignoring the intruder.
Xiao Chen gritted his teeth, "Did I get to the point where my heart was about to burst out from my mouth?" "Xiao Yao, you keep saying that I am ashamed of the Xiao family and that you are ashamed of your parents. Aren"t you the same as me?"
"Yes, that"s why we are unqualified to enter the Xiao family"s Hero Tomb." Xiao Yao raised his head and looked at the other party.
"In the eyes of outsiders, the Xiao Clan is a place of limitless splendor, filled with beautiful flowers. In reality, it is nothing more than empty air, flashy and unreal. It is a sorrow when people leave the village."
"Are you done?" Xiao Yao"s fingers tightly gripped the chopsticks. Cracks had already appeared on the surface of the chopsticks; it seemed that if he used a little more strength, they would break into two pieces.
Xiao Chen shook his head, "Do you really want me to say that I will not finish for a day? You are just like me, selfish people. Saying that giving up my father for a man is a heinous crime. Aren"t you also a sinner if you give up your mother for a girl?" Why can"t I be forgiven while you can sit here without worry? "
"Xiao Chen, you are right. We are all selfish people. Therefore, after we die, we will not have the face to see our father, nor the ancestors of the Xiao Clan."
"You speak quite nicely, I think very highly of you. You clearly are of the same kind of person, yet you view yourself with such n.o.bility and demean me to such a dirty extent."
"I just want to make this family harmonious, warm, laughter, and blissful. Even if I have done something immoral, after I die, I"m still willing to go down to the eighteenth level of h.e.l.l, willing to be punished." Trembling, Xiao Yao picked up the bowl of rice and began to eat it, one grain at a time.
Xiao Chen looked at the old man in the lead seat, then he looked at his sons and daughters sitting around her. She felt a sense of helplessness. Perhaps she was jealous, jealous of the fact that her elder brother, who was also a sinner, had such a peaceful home.
A harmonious home.
"If you"re done, please leave. We need to eat." Xiao Yao continued to reject him.
However, Xiao Chen sat down on the dining table and said to the butler beside him, "I came as a guest. I did not eat, so I might as well add a set of chopsticks."
The butler looked at Xiao Yao in a dilemma.
Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Chen for a few times without blinking. He also understood the temper of this little sister and nodded, "Let"s eat."
There was an indescribable atmosphere at the table.
Xiao Chen took a sip of the soup and looked at the brightest head in the room, "General Shen Chengfeng"s hairstyle is very beautiful. As expected of the general of the empire, he is very courageous."
Shen Chengfeng replied, "I also think this hairstyle is pretty good."
"Although it"s a bit late, I still want to say a word of congratulations." Xiao Chen picked up a vegetable dish, "I came in a hurry today and did not prepare anything for the children. When I come back tomorrow, I will bring something for the children to eat."
"No need, you won"t come back in the future." Xiao Yao rejected him, "We don"t need to talk about official matters at home. If it"s a private matter, I don"t think there"s anything between us that needs to be discussed."
"You have nothing to say to me, but I have something to say to you." Xiao Chen leaned back in his chair and smiled, "I think there will be many things to talk about between us. After all, we have not had a proper conversation for so many years."
"You have to keep making trouble for me, don"t you?" Xiao Yao did not continue to show a friendly face.
Xiao Chen shook his head, "I do not have that much time to play with you. I am just here to tell you that your mother might not be able to endure this winter."
Pa! Xiao Yao slammed the table and stood up, "Get out."
"Don"t say such unlucky words like I did in the new year. The madame had her second stroke today and might have been angered by me. Go and see her another day, it is very likely that this will be the last time." Xiao Chen stood up and looked at the house full of the Xiao Clan"s descendants. He smacked his lips, "Sad is human nature. Regardless of what she did in the past, she is now a lonely old man without anyone to rely on."
The entire Xiao family fell silent.
Qin Ran cleaned up the table with the servants.
Xiao Yao held her hand, "You don"t need to do these things."
"Old master, she is your mother after all. Even though she was rather harsh toward us, your mother and your daughter, she is also your biological mother. She is also the granny of Xiao Ming and the others. No matter what, she should go and see us out." Qin Ran shook his hand and said, "I know what you"re worried about, don"t worry about me. If I don"t even have this little bit of tolerance, how can I be your Imperial Marshal"s wife?"
"We"ll go together?"
"Master, the madame wouldn"t want to see me."
"You are my wife and also her daughter-in-law. Whether she is willing or not, that is a fact." Xiao Yao stood up, "I said before, I want to respect you."
Qin Ran pursed her lips into a smile, "Your words are enough for me. It"s not too late yet, you can go. I"ll stay at home and take care of Little Jing."
Xiao Yao thought for a moment before nodding, "I will rush back tomorrow morning."
"No need to be in such a hurry. We haven"t seen each other for so long, so you should accompany her properly. If you want to raise a child, then kiss her. I don"t want you to regret it in the future."
Xiao Yao hugged her skinny body, "Rest early."
The Xiao family completely quieted down.
Xiao Jing leaned against the window, watching the few figures leaving the courtyard. She cast a sidelong glance at her captain.
Shen Chengfeng placed a hand on her shoulder and asked gently, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"
"Captain, do you take me for a petty, petty woman?"
"I"m just thinking that she was once so mean towards my wife. No matter what she looks like in her later years, I feel like it"s just retribution. The heavens have eyes."
"Captain!"
"So you don"t have to force yourself. We are all adults, so we hate each other. If there"s love, then so be it."
Xiao Jing snuggled up to him in his embrace. "There"s nothing uncomfortable about it. My wish is for peace in this world."
Shen Chengfeng poked her head, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Xiao Jing tiptoed on her toes and rubbed his face. She leaned closer and said, "Captain, I found that you have the same qualitative change as yesterday."
Shen Chengfeng did not understand the meaning behind her words, "What"s wrong with me?"
Xiao Jing"s face reddened slightly. "What do you think?"
Shen Chengfeng understood her intentions, both of his hands were around her waist, holding her up against the wall, "Although second brother"s words are a little like a joke, but after thinking about it carefully, it makes sense, I am currently feeling an indescribable sense of relaxation and relaxation."
Xiao Jing placed her hands on his shoulders as she smiled, "It seems that the treatment process can"t be stopped. We have to work harder. Maybe after two more sessions, Captain will be completely healed."
"This plan is not bad, we can carry it out according to this plan."
"So does the captain think the time is right tonight?" Xiao Jing became more and more daring as she hugged his neck and began to try to untie his collar.
Shen Chengfeng placed his hands on her waist, using a bit of strength on his fingers, a stream of white smoke started to corrode from her clothes.
Xiao Jing was startled, she grabbed his hand and said, "Captain, you can"t burn my clothes."
Shen Chengfeng did not like this kind of martial arts scene where one took off their clothes. He tried to gently open her collar, but it only took a few twists and turns, and the b.u.t.tons seemed to be even tighter.
Xiao Jing frowned. "Forget it, I"ll just burn it."
Shen Chengfeng did not feel the need to trouble himself to take off her clothes. Once again, he covered her clothes with his hands, causing smoke to come out, revealing her skin.
"Knock, knock, knock." The next moment, Qin Ran pushed open the door, "Little Jing, how much milk do the babies need to eat?"
Xiao Jing reflexively pushed Shen Chengfeng away, then yelled, "Captain, I said that you have to control your own abilities. Just look at how many times you have trained, and you are still going to burn my clothes."
Qin Ran stood at the door awkwardly. Did she disturb something?
Xiao Jing said with a guilty conscience, "Captain, you have to control your sense of propriety when you take me as a training tool. I only have this one piece of clothing."
Qin Ran finally understood and nodded, "You guys are right. Don"t burn your clothes if you want to train. It"s easy to catch cold in the middle of winter."
Xiao Jing nodded seriously, "Don"t worry, we will train with something else in the future. Didn"t mother ask me how much milk powder I eat?" Grandma said it before, it"s about 120 to 150. "
"Alright, I"ll go feed the babies, you guys rest early as well." Qin Ran closed the door.
This time, Xiao Jing learned from her mistake and hurriedly locked the door. After making sure everything was safe, she rushed over with great pa.s.sion.
Shen Chengfeng held onto her waist and pushed her onto the bed, his mouth curled up in ridicule, "Aren"t you worried that your mother will suddenly come back?"
Xiao Jing kissed his lips. "I"m not afraid. We have evidence."
Shen Chengfeng lowered his head to deepen her kiss, he did not hesitate to attack the city and take everything from her, "Yes, we have proof."
Outside the window, the moonlight was like a mirror. The dark clouds quietly covered the bright moon, which had silently blushed.
The room was filled with an enchanting atmosphere...
The two cars drove away from the highway, one in front of the other under the moonlight.
In River City"s villa, lights were on all night.
All the medical staff quietly left the room.
Xiao Yao walked into the house without any hesitation. Everyone stood in a row and did not say a word.
"What"s the situation with the madame?" He looked at the late arrival of the doctors.
The man in the lead said, "The situation is not very good. This time, the old lady has collapsed with intracranial hypertension, and her blood vessels could burst at any time. Although this is both a surgical treatment, this is the second time the old lady has suffered a stroke."
Xiao Yao walked into the room. There was only a dim light in the room. He looked at the old man who was breathing weakly on the bed and closed his eyes, not daring to look.
"Therefore, I suggest we start with conservative treatment, but the success rate is equally low. At this point, I need the marshal"s approval, whether it"s surgical treatment or conservative treatment."
"The Old Mistress has been proud all her life. She doesn"t want to die on that cold operating table." Xiao Yao waved his hand, signaling everyone to withdraw.
When Old Madam Xiao heard the voice, she weakly opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry with multiple layers. It was as if she could see a figure walking towards her from the mist.
Old man, are you finally willing to come and pick me up?
