Jamel Xiao's expression was controlled very well.
But it still didn't escape Xiao Mu's eyes.
Xiao Mu glanced at him disdainfully.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, he himself has become quite successful.
After all, it still relies on the momentum of the palace.
"Second brother, my father thinks so for your own good. Don't think too much about it." Xiao Jinrong acted as a peacemaker, but behind his words, he was blaming Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu originally ignored the prince, but seeing Xiao Jinrong like this, he found it interesting.
Xu Zhengxiang once said that to deal with those people who are yin and yang, either go back to the yin and yang, or go straight and hit him in the face.
Anyway, just don't take it personally.
Xiao Mu originally thought that he had no use for these principles.
But now it seems that these principles seem to be useful.
"Brother, what are you talking about?" Xiao Mu smiled gently.
"Of course I know that my father is doing everything for my own good, but what I just said is also true. After all, I grew up in a remote mountain village. After so many years, I have long been unaccustomed to this complicated and complicated officialdom. In comparison, it is still a place in the market. It suits me better."
"What did you call me just now?"
The prince was a little excited.
"Father." Xiao Mu called again.
"Hey, I'm just saying, I'm just saying, there's no worries between father and son. Even if you have some resentment in your heart, after so many years, it should have been resolved long ago."
Xiao Jinrong originally wanted to pour some oil on the disharmonious relationship between father and son, but he didn't expect that Xiao Mu would resolve all the problems with just one word about father.
He wanted to say something more, but he heard the prince say again: "If you don't like officialdom, then don't go to officialdom. Isn't your... wife's uncle a businessman? If you like it, just learn from him. You can also do something good in business.”
"My wife is taking care of my family's business, I just need to help behind the scenes."
No future!
The prince thought to himself.
But he controlled what was about to come out of his mouth.
The words his father shouted just now made him feel comfortable both physically and mentally.
He didn't want to say unpleasant words and ruin this rare harmonious atmosphere.
Xiao Jinrong also saw the current situation clearly, so he followed the prince's wishes and said: "That's right, I still support the family anyway. Whatever the second brother likes, just do it."
"That's really hard work, brother, but I can do whatever I want."
Xiao Mu didn't appreciate it at all.
Jamel Xiao had no choice but to swallow the following words.
At the beginning of the dinner, in addition to Xiao Jinrong, the third child, Jamel Xiao, and the fifth child, Xiao Jingyu, all returned to the mansion according to the prince's wishes.
In recent years, the eldest Xiao Jinrong has been prospering, but the other two have made little achievements. They all rely on the shop and village in the mansion to make a living.
Therefore, the third and fifth children also dislike the boss.
But this displeasure changed when he saw Xiao Mu.
The so-called enemy of my enemy is my friend.
In their eyes, Xiao Mu was the legitimate son, and all three of them were concubines.
Without Xiao Mu, the prince might have given them more of the things in the mansion in the end.
But Xiao Mu's sudden appearance meant that there was another person who wanted to share the property in the house with them, and they were looking for someone who wanted to take the lion's share.
"I asked what happened back then. Why did the second brother's yard suddenly catch fire? Didn't it say that the second brother was no longer alive at that time? Why did he suddenly come back now? I am stupid and I really can't think clearly. You guys Who can tell me something?"
After Xiao Jingyu, the fifth child, had two glasses of wine, he asked the question without paying attention to the prince's stopping look.
There was one thing he didn't say: This palace is not a market, so why can you come and leave whenever you want?
Regarding this issue, Xiao Mu had no intention of hiding it.
"Since everyone is here today, let me talk about what happened back then."
Xiao Mu put down his chopsticks and sat upright.
"Back then, there was a flood in the West Courtyard, and I almost lost my life in it. If Master hadn't suddenly appeared and saved me, I'm afraid we wouldn't be reunited today."
Xiao Mu's tone was a little lucky, but Lao San and Lao Wu secretly said in their hearts: "Who wants to meet you again?"
Xiao Mu continued: "I was young at that time, so I just felt that the situation was urgent and was a little scared, so I didn't dare to come back.
But as I grow older, I feel more and more that the leak in the west courtyard may not be that simple! "
"What?"
"Why isn't it simple?"
"That's right, don't think that since you come back, we all have to give in to you. What do you mean by this? Are you going to make the house uneasy as soon as you come back?"
Lao San and Lao Wu rushed to ask.
Before the meal, Xiao Jamrong briefly communicated with the two younger brothers.
He told them that now that the second son is back, it doesn't look simple, as if he wants to monopolize the palace's property.
The two brothers didn't take it to heart at first.
But when they heard Xiao Mu say this, the two of them immediately became alert.
The elder brother was indeed right!
This Xiao Mu came back to fight for the property in the house.
The reason why he said that was definitely to make his father feel guilty, so that he could fish in troubled waters and make his father lose trust in his brothers.
After all, the eldest brother has fame and fame, and his father always looks up to him.
The two of them are the worst offenders.
As long as he loses his father's trust, it is very likely that he will not be able to get a single piece of his money by then.
So the two of them were eager to refute Xiao Mu's words.
Xiao Mu was not affected by their attitudes at all.
He said calmly: "Why are the third and fifth brothers so nervous? What I say is just my guess. You two are so eager to refute, is it possible that you really know something?"
"have no idea!"
"Don't you dare slander others!"
The third child and the fifth child said in unison.
Xiao Jamrong saw his two younger brothers reacting like this, and couldn't help but sweat in his heart at their stupidity.
He originally planned to use the two of them to deal with Xiao Mu.
But looking at their performance now, it seems that they will become tools for Xiao Mu to use.
Sure enough, the next moment I heard Xiao Mu say: "Father, I was just talking casually, but since the third brother and the fifth brother are so interested in what happened back then, how about I express my suspicions again?
Lest the two of them think that I want to accuse them of injustice. "
What happened back then was like a thorn in the prince's heart, which was difficult to pull out.
Even after it was pulled out, there was blood on the thorn tip.
After Xiao Mu's accident, the prince immediately ordered people to seal off the entire courtyard, and everything that needed to be investigated was investigated.
But no problem was found at all.
In the end, all the servants in the yard were dealt with before the matter was over.
So Xiao Mu said that the matter was not simple, but the prince did not want to say more or delve deeper into this issue.
However, because of the attitudes of Lao San and Lao Wu, Xiao Mu said that he would express his doubts to prove his innocence, and the prince felt that this should be the case.
So he nodded and said, "Then just tell us the doubts in your heart and let us all listen."
