He said, "Aunt, as the direct daughter of my Xiao family, to become a concubine in the Lian family is to suffer grievances to begin with. Furthermore, they even killed all of you and cousin sister.
She looked at Madam Xiao and said, "I don't dare to think of anything right now. Big Brother hasn't even returned to the capital yet, I just want sister-in-law to come out and put pressure on the madame to release Ya Er from the temple. I'm really worried that if this goes on, she'll be ruined."
Madam Xiao pursed her lips but didn't say anything.
Xiao Rou could no longer hold it in as she stood up and said, "Mother, let's go with aunt to the Lian family right now and let the old mistress release my cousin from the temple! I don't believe that Lian Ru Yue is so capable that she doesn't dare to give our Xiao family face. "When I get there, I'll definitely skin her two layers of skin. I'll let her see just how strong our Xiao family is."
"Little sister, you don't have to do anything to teach Lian Meng Yue a lesson." Xiao Shan's eyes became cold as he said, "Father isn't home. As the eldest son of the family, I naturally have the duty of standing up for the Xiao family. Aunt, there is no need to worry."
Auntie Xiao cried tears of joy. "Ya Er can be saved this time."
"Don't be impatient." At this moment, Madam Xiao finally spoke up. "Regarding this matter, no matter how you say it, even the family has not chased Ya Er out. Ya Er has committed a mistake, even her mother has punished her with family law, which is reasonable. "Besides …"
Madam Xiao raised her eyes to look at Madam Xiao's makeup. It didn't look as exquisite and gorgeous as it used to be, but instead exuded an aura of loss. She said, "You must have snuck out secretly, right?"
Auntie Xiao was stunned for a moment before her face flushed red. She lowered her head and said, "I can't hide anything from sister-in-law."
"If you sneak out like this and call for reinforcements, if I really go with you to the Prime Minister's Estate to pressure the Lian Family, then what would the Lian Family think of you? Even if they force Ya'er out, how will you stand in front of Madam Lian and Prime Minister Lian in the future?"
"This …" Lady Xiao was actually correct. Ya Er's wrongdoings had solid evidence and her punishment was reasonable. She didn't pay attention to Madam Xiao's intentions of calling for reinforcements when she returned home. She was simply slapping her in the face and not putting her in her eyes …
"Then what should we do? Was he going to just watch his cousin suffer in that damned place? "I heard from my aunt that my cousin's injuries haven't completely healed. If this goes on for too long, what should I do?" Although Xiao Shan felt that what his mother said was reasonable, he couldn't swallow his anger!
"That's right, is it just because Lian Yueyue is pleased with herself?" Mother, no matter what, we must teach her a lesson! " Xiao Rou held Aunt Xiao's hand and said, "Aunt, it would be inconvenient for mother to come out. I'll go with you. I must save my cousin!"
"Pah!" Suddenly, Madam Xiao slammed an empty teacup onto the ground and scolded angrily, "How dare you! Who was making the decision in the Xiao family now? You actually dare to ignore my words! "
The siblings saw that their mother suddenly became angry, so they were scared and didn't dare to speak anymore.
Madam Xiao glared sternly at the two siblings in front of her and said, "Xiao Shan, you are a man with the ambition to enter the imperial court.
Xiao Rou, what are you? Even her mother is the first wife of the imperial court's First-grade. You are just a stinking girl of no rank, what right do you have to speak up in front of her! "
Madam Xiao was startled when she heard Madam Xiao's words. Everything that this sister-in-law said made sense. But how could this attitude make her feel that her sister-in-law was saying that Ya Er and she deserved it?
What was this sister-in-law thinking?
"A few days ago, your elder brother specially made people gallop on horses, bringing back a very rare Night Pearl from the Great Western Continent. I heard that even your mother doesn't like gold and likes pearls, so you can take this Night Pearl back and send it in your elder brother's name. As for the rest, wait until your elder brother returns to the capital, the Lian Clan will not let Ya Er die."
"Yes, thank you, sister-in-law."
In the end, Auntie Xiao carried a priceless Night Pearl back to the Prime Minister's Estate.
"Brother, are we really just going to let this go?" At the entrance of the general's estate, Xiao Rou said as she watched the carriage drive off into the distance.
"Sister, mother's words are very reasonable. "However …" A hint of coldness flashed through Xiao Shan's eyes as he said, "On the surface, it is not good for us to show ourselves. It is fine to secretly teach a lesson to Yueyue."
Xiao Rou's eyes lit up as she coquettishly held her brother's hand. "Big brother, do you have any good ideas? Don't leave me behind. I want to participate and personally teach Lian Ruyue a lesson."
"Don't worry, little sister. You will definitely have a share at that time."
Madam Xiao made a trip back to the Xiao family and came back after a few days. She was worn out from the journey and had to stay in the middle for about six hours.
After returning to the Prime Minister's Estate, he couldn't wait to head to Qing An Courtyard.
When they arrived at Qing An Courtyard, before they even got close, they could faintly hear the sounds of laughter coming from inside. Thinking of how her daughter was still suffering in the temple, her eyes couldn't help but feel a burning sensation as she tightly held the handkerchief in her hand.
Lifting her foot to step on a circular landscape wall, Madam Xiao saw Senior Servant Zhou, Senior Servant Song, Fairy Qingmei, and Lixiang standing under the eaves, coaxing the noble white fox.
Everyone was stunned for a moment when they saw her.
She looked at the crowd coldly, her back straighter than usual, and said, "I want to see the madame."
"Yes, your servant will go report it right away." The gatekeeper opened the curtain and walked in. A moment later, he came out and said:
"The madame said that she was playing with the ladies. Please wait here for a moment."
To have her shut down like this, Auntie Xiao immediately felt like she had been greatly humiliated! But there was no other way. She had to save Lian Shiya, so she had to wait here.
She was standing in the doorway, and there was no servant to bring her a chair to sit on. It was the hottest time of the day, and she stood there alone, waiting, sweat beginning to form on her forehead.
From time to time, however, the laughter of his mother and the other girls could be heard. He could faintly hear his mother saying, "Ruyue, you damned girl, you tricked me …"
Since when did this old lady and Lian Ruyue become so intimate? In the past, when her Ya Er was favored by others, she didn't have such treatment.
The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became, until she felt dizzy. She stood by the door for two hours, her dress completely soaked and her makeup soaked through with sweat.
When the sun was about to set, the tightly shut door finally opened with a creak. From inside, the elderly voice of his mother could be heard.
"It's outside. Come in."
