The dignified general was plotted against by a lowly person, causing the entire family to lose face. This terrible feeling made Xiao Chongjing furious and even murderous.
He stood up and walked step by step to Lu Yitong.
He picked up the long sword on the ground with his toes and was about to take action. Xiao Qintang suddenly rushed over, shouted no, and opened his arms to block Lu Yitong.
"roll."
Xiao Chongjing stared at Lu Yitong gloomily and made a sound from his throat.
"No! I don't allow you to kill him!" Xiao Qintang defended Lu Yitong and said stubbornly to Xiao Chongjing: "If you want to kill, kill me first. I don't want to live if he dies anyway!"
"You think I don't dare to kill you?"
"Then you kill!"
Xiao Qintang said and took the initiative to stretch his neck. He held his head and confronted Xiao Chongjing.
The atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point. Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, a maid burst into the door.
Her face was full of anxiety, and she didn't even have time to be surprised by the scene in front of her. She looked directly at Xiao Chongjing and said: "General, the old lady is awake and is talking to Miss Xiaorou..."
"What?"
Xiao Chongjing frowned when he heard that Yin Xiaorou was in danger.
He ordered Lu Yitong to be imprisoned in the woodshed first, then put away his sword and forcibly took Xiao Qintang to the Qingshou Hall.
Ruan Yunluo was anxious to watch the fun and followed slowly.
As soon as everyone entered the Qingshou Hall, they heard Yin Xiaorou's mournful cries. She was forced to kneel on the ground, her face already red from being slapped by Grandma Fan.
"Xiaorou!"
Seeing her miserable look, Xiao Chongjing's heart tightened.
He rushed into the house in three steps at a time, slapped Nanny Fan hard, and then hugged Yin Xiaorou into his arms.
"mother!"
With red eyes, he looked at his mother angrily, "You have been unconscious these past few days, and Xiao Rou has been taking the initiative to take care of you. If you don't appreciate it, just let her go, why do you treat her like this!"
"Why did you say?"
Mrs. Xi was leaning on the couch with a sickly look on her face, but her eyes were astonishingly bright when she looked at Xiao Chongjing. "Don't think that you can please me with just a little trick. Let me tell you, as long as my old lady lives for one day, this bitch will never have a good life!"
"mother……"
Xiao Chongjing was helpless.
He knew that his mother would not forget about Shuiyun Tea House for a while, so he stopped pestering her. He just sighed and told, "Mom, no matter what you think, Xiao Rou was given by His Majesty. You can't treat her like this..."
"Brother, you are too partial!"
Xiao Qintang was dissatisfied with Xiao Chongjing's double standards, "Yin Xiaorou was just slapped a few times and you didn't want to, so why did you beat Brother Lu like that just now?"
"What Brother Lu?"
Mrs. Xi looked at her daughter with a bad feeling in her heart.
"he……"
Xiao Qintang was a little hesitant, fearing that Mrs. Xi would not agree.
But then I thought about it, now that things have become like this, what's the point of hiding it anymore?
Lu Yitong has already been imprisoned in the woodshed. Is there anything worse than this?
Why not give it a try, maybe my mother will relent?
With this thought, she knelt down in front of Mrs. Xi and said with emotion: "Mom, Brother Lu is my daughter's savior. Today, my daughter fell into the water in Lingzhao Temple. Thanks to him for risking his life to save her. Otherwise, you might be here now." I can’t see my daughter anymore!”
"What!"
Mrs. Xi was shocked.
"It's true!" Xiao Qintang said quickly.
"Yes, it's true."
Xiao Chongjing took the words calmly and looked at his sister coldly, "Xiao Qintang, you just lied to me, but now you want to lie to your mother?"
"I..." Xiao Qintang yelled guiltily, "Who lied to you?"
"What do you think?" Xiao Chongjing asked with a sneer. "You and that Lu Yitong have obviously known each other for a long time! You two have obviously colluded in this drama of a hero saving a beauty! Xiao Qintang, it's just that you were stupid and got deceived by a man, and you also dragged the entire Xiao family into this. I’m embarrassed to be with you, are you crazy!”
"Who lied to you?" Xiao Qintang said sternly, "What evidence do you have that I lied to you?"
"Evidence?" Xiao Chongjing sneered.
He didn't bother to talk to Xiao Qintang, but looked directly at his mother and said, "Mom, Lu Yitong is in the woodshed now. If you don't believe it, you can go directly to interrogate him. If you torture him to extract a confession, you are not afraid that he will not tell the truth."
"No!" Xiao Qintang objected quickly, "He is my savior, I won't allow you to do this to him!"
"Okay, I won't touch him." Xiao Chongjing agreed happily, "Then I will interrogate your maid and search your room. As long as there is evidence to prove that you have known each other for a long time, I will kill him directly, okay?"
"..." Xiao Qintang did not dare to agree.
"enough!"
Now that the matter has come to this, what else does Mrs. Xi not understand?
She first glared at Xiao Qintang, and then said to Xiao Chongjing: "You handle this matter yourself, and be sure to shut up that Lu Yitong! Don't let him talk nonsense outside!"
"I'll go right away..."
"no!"
Xiao Qintang shouted.
In a panic, she stepped forward and pulled out Xiao Chongjing's sword, placing it across her neck.
She looked at her mother with red eyes, "Mom, don't touch him. If you do, I will die in front of you!"
"Qintang!"
Seeing her daughter acting like this for a man, Mrs. Xi was anxious and angry, "If you have something to say, please put it down first!"
"I won't let you go!" Xiao Qintang was very stubborn, "I don't care! If you dare to touch Brother Lu, I will bury him with you!"
"Then just die!"
Xiao Chongjing gritted his teeth and looked at his sister coldly, and said in a solemn voice: "Rather than letting you go and stick to that man named Lu, I would rather you die directly. If you die, the Xiao family will be glorious!"
"You..." Xiao Qintang glared at Xiao Chongjing aggrievedly, the hand holding the sword trembling.
"What are you talking about!" Mrs. Xi glared at Xiao Chongjing dissatisfied, and then coaxed Xiao Qintang anxiously: "Qintang! Put down the sword first! If you have anything to say, put down the sword and say it carefully, don't hurt yourself. Stay!"
"I don't!"
Xiao Qintang is very stubborn. She looked at her mother with tears in her eyes, "Mom, I really like Brother Lu, I really like him! Mom, please help me!"
"Qintang, you are confused! He is a grown man. If he really likes you, he will definitely work hard to marry you based on his ability and sincerity! He clearly has no good intentions in destroying your reputation in this way!"
"I don't care!" Xiao Qintang said angrily, "Don't say Brother Lu is not that kind of person, even if he is, I admit it! I just like him! I will not marry him but him!"
"you……"
Mrs. Xi was so angry that she was speechless.
Seeing that things were still at a stalemate, Ruan Yunluo lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "Well, why don't we all take a step back. The general should let Lu Yitong go first, and the third sister should not be in a hurry to get married. Let's settle this matter. Let’s put it aside for a moment. Isn’t that Lu Yitong a civil servant? Let’s see if he can get a position first. Based on Third Sister’s current situation, if he can really get a decent position, it’s not like he can’t get married.”
"good!"
Xiao Qintang quickly agreed, and then looked at Mrs. Xi and Xiao Chongjing with pleading eyes.
"So be it."
Xiao Chongjing was hesitating, but Mrs. Xi sighed and agreed. She looked at her daughter helplessly, "Can you put down the sword now?"
"Um!"
Xiao Qintang immediately threw the sword away and went to release Lu Yitong happily.
After warning that this matter should not be spread outside, Xiao Chongjing asked everyone to step aside, then looked at Ruan Yunluo suspiciously and asked:
"Why are you suddenly speaking for that Lu Yitong? Have you known about this for a long time?"
