Lian Shiya's face had always been pale since she came out of the Yi Cui Courtyard. Her hand that held the silk handkerchief was trembling slightly. Although she already knew that Xiao Rou's leg had been eaten by a tiger, she was still frightened when she saw it for the first time.

Her voice trembled as she said softly, "Mother, I feel that my cousin is really pitiful. Looking at her, she looks no different from a lunatic. What's the use of having the identity of a princess?"

"Heh …" However, the Xiao family chuckled. Their cold expressions made them seem like a completely different person from when they were in front of Xiao Rou.

"Mom, don't you think so?" Lian Shiya couldn't help but feel it was strange when she saw the Xiao Clan's reaction.

"If she didn't break her leg, do you think you could have gotten the title bestowed to you by the Emperor?" The Xiao family's old patriarch coldly said.

"Mom, I don't understand what you mean. What does my status as the County Lord have to do with my cousin's legs?" Lian Shiya was puzzled.

"Auntie Xiao revealed a cold expression from the corner of her eyes." Don't you know that when our Xiao Family fell to the ground, your uncle went to Anping and sought out King Anping, Lu Shang's daughter, Lu Xi, for help? He had even promised Lu Xi that he would not have three wives and four concubines in his family. Thus, in the entire Xiao family, only your aunt was the main wife and she only had Xiao Rou as her only daughter. But... If anything happened to her, it would be different. "

"Mother …" Lian Shiya suddenly shivered.

"I already knew that Xiao Rou was pampered and impulsive, so I intentionally provoked her. A few days before I came to the hunting grounds, I even said some bad things about Lian Ru Yue. With her personality, sooner or later, she would cause some trouble with Lian Ru Yue.

Even though they didn't know what had happened, there was a high chance that it was related to Lian Xiyue. Lian Ruyue really helped a lot this time, and now, not to mention the crown prince, it was hard for even others to accept Xiao Rou's appearance. Since you couldn't count on her, Uncle naturally placed all his hopes on you. But now it's different. If I'm the first wife, then you're the second daughter, and with the title of County Lord, there's no problem with your birth. Furthermore, your uncle is in the prime of his life, so anyone who wishes to marry you will have to wait outside the True Sun Sect. " The Xiao family's plan was something even Xiao Zhenhai wouldn't be able to think of.

When Shi Ya heard this, she originally thought that the Xiao family had even schemed against Cousin Rou Er. It was truly terrifying, but after hearing what happened, she was relieved.

It was said that there couldn't be two tigers on one mountain. Between her and Xiao Rou, her uncle would definitely choose his own daughter. However, without Xiao Rou, everything would be hers.

"Mother, you're so amazing, as expected of the Scorpion's sister." Lian Shiya gave Xiao Shi a thumbs up.

On the way back to the Prime Minister's Estate, the Xiao Clan's people sat on the carriage with their eyes closed, dozing off.

"My wife has no children in three years. I listened to my neighbor's words and came to the temple every day to pay my respects. This year, I indeed had a big fat grandson. My family is still willing to come today."

At this time, a cheerful voice came from outside the carriage.

When the Xiao family heard this, their hearts skipped a beat. They opened the carriage's curtain to look outside and saw an old woman holding a white and fat male doll in her arms. She was talking to someone on the roadside, and the girl behind her looked like her son and daughter-in-law.

"Congratulations!" This temple to send off the child, Guan Yin, is truly outstanding. It's said that the Missus of Tranquil Heart is a send out spirit child under the Empress' wing, specially sent over for the fated. " Another woman who was about to ask for a son said.

Madam Xiao put down the curtain and pondered for a moment. After a moment, she instructed in a low voice, "Go to the Guanyin Temple."

"Yes, ma'am." Senior Servant Zhen instructed the sedan bearer.

Arriving at the temple, the sedan bearers stopped the sedan chair in the temple, only to see that the people who came to beg for their son's help had lined up in a long line.

A hint of arrogance appeared on her face as she said to the young master at the door, "My wife is here specifically to meet Martial Aunt Jing. Please help us enter first."

Unexpectedly, the young master didn't give any face to Zhen mama and said, "Before Bodhisattva, all living creatures are equal. Sir, please line up and wait."

When Senior Servant Zhen heard this, her face turned ugly as she scolded, "You have eyes but can't recognize Mount Tai. Do you know who my wife is?" That is the Prime Minister's wife, the sister of the Great General Xiao Guo Gong.

"Amitabha." Unexpectedly, the little master didn't even show the slightest sign of fear when he heard Senior Servant Zhen's words. She looked left and right, only to see that everyone in line was pointing at her. He couldn't help but scold, "What is this thing!"

"What's wrong? Why don't you let us in? " Seeing that Senior Servant Zhen had returned in low spirits, Lady Xiao asked.

"There are a lot of rules for Tranquil Heart Teacher. Everyone has to line up, even the Madam is no exception." Senior Servant Zhen replied.

"Is there such a thing? Forget it, let's just wait. "

He waited for a full four hours before the young master came over and said, "Madam, Grand Master welcomes you."

Senior Servant Zhen glared coldly at her. She pulled up the curtain and helped Madam Xiao out of the sedan, walking with Lian Shiya into the temple.

When he entered the temple, he saw a Master of Hai Qing wearing a black robe with a wide waist and wide sleeves. He placed his hands together before the image and said, "Amitabha."

Madam Xiao signaled for the maidservants and wives to leave, leaving only Lian Shiya behind.

The two of them reverently knelt in front of Guan Yin. They kowtowed, offered incense, and offered incense to each other.

"Master, I have a request in my heart."

Grand Master Jing Xin instructed, "Benefactor, please draw your lot first."

"Yes." Lady Xiao used both hands to hold the lot, took a deep breath, and then vigorously shook the lot. A short while later, a lot of the lot fell out.

The young master walked over to pick up the lot and put it in the hands of Martial Aunt Jing. She looked at it and asked, "What are you begging for?"

Xiao Shi took a deep breath and said, "Please."

Martial Aunt Jing looked at the signature again and said, "Life comes eventually, life cannot be forced. Almsgiver has no son, if you insist, there won't be a good result."

What?

When the Xiao Clan heard this, they were instantly stunned? His heart skipped a beat. How was this possible? She, Xiao Rou, was in good health, so how could she not have a son?

She suddenly got angry and stood up. "You're talking nonsense. I can't see through you, you're a fake!"

When Lian Shiya heard this, she was so angry that her face turned pale. She stood up and scolded, "You old nun, you're spouting nonsense! My mother is extremely wealthy and has just become the wife of the Prime Minister. Mother, I think that the Bodhisattva in the Guanyin Temple is just a clay statue, don't take it to heart! "

The two mother and daughter were so excited that the matriarch calmed her heart down without a ripple on her face. She said lightly, "Amitabha, if you anger the gods, you will be punished!"

"What god!? I'm a dignified county lord, and you're actually saying that my mother was childless!?" My mother will soon have a fat little brother! I'll bring it for you to see when the time comes! Mother, don't listen to her.

It was almost dark by the time she left from the temple with a huff. The Xiao family had a tense expression the entire way, but the words "hit a dead child" disturbed her.
