C433 Apoplexy

"Oh? So what do you want? Say it. " Zhou Cheng Emperor knew that he had mistreated the Lian Family today, so he did not get angry. Naturally, even Lu Yue knew what he was thinking, which was why she did not want to relax.

"This subject wants the Duke of Xiao to personally apologize to this subject." Lian Ruyue slowly looked toward Xiao Zhenhai and pointed at him as she spoke.

The Xiao family had always been proud and arrogant, especially Xiao Zhenhai. In the past, he had ordered his little sister to harm her in the Lian family, but now, he had never placed anyone in his eyes.

As expected, when Xiao Zhenhai heard this, his expression immediately changed. However, because he had just been pardoned by the Emperor, he did not scold her publicly. He sneered in his heart.

"Yes, I should." However, he did not expect Emperor Zhou to nod his head.

Xiao Zhenhai was startled as he looked at the Emperor. "Your Majesty …"

In addition, Duke Xiao and Xiao He will officially arrive at the gate of the Prefecture Lord's mansion one day to ask for forgiveness from Rong and the County Lord. Xiao Zhenhai, this is an imperial decree. Zhou Chengdi thought for a moment before replying.

"Yes, this old official shall obey!" Xiao Zhenhai kneeled on the ground, accepting the order. Now that he was being reasonable, he could only do as the Emperor said. It had no meaning.

Zhou Chengdi's teeth were trembling at an angle that he couldn't see. He clenched his hands tightly on the ground and the veins on the back of his hands were exposed.

He, a great duke, would actually publicly request for the punishment of a little girl? This was the greatest humiliation of his life!

"How is it? Are you satisfied now?" Zhou Cheng Di looked at Lian Ruoyue and asked.

Lian Ru Yue slowly nodded her head and became like a child again. She shrugged her shoulders and said, "As long as the Duke of Xiao asks for forgiveness from this subject and daughter, then we will let this matter go."

"Good!" "This matter shall end here, and shall not be mentioned again!" After Emperor Zhou Cheng gave the order, he left with big strides, followed by Lian Zhaoyi and Princess Thirteen.

Princess Thirteen glanced back at the kneeling Xiao He. Today, Japan wanted to make use of this opportunity to tease Feng Lingyue, but now that so many things had happened, she had lost a great opportunity. She could only wait until she returned to the palace.

After the Emperor left, the other guests hurriedly left as well.

Xiao He walked halfway and didn't care about Xiao Hu's obstruction. He hurriedly walked back and stopped Lian Meng Yue's path.

Lian Ruyue lightly glanced at him. Xiao He, who was once in high spirits and was overweeningly arrogant, now seemed to be slightly flustered and exasperated.

"Lian Ruyue, the person I caught in the thatched cottage that day, was it really Hui Zhi?"

Lian Ruyue lightly smiled, "Weren't the people captured by the Heavenly Treasure Great General personally? Don't you know if people are real or not? "

"Am I capturing the real lady, Hui Zhi, or the actress, Yan Xia? "Perhaps, the person I captured before was indeed Hui Zhi, but tonight, this Hui Zhi was a disguise, did you really hide him?" When Xiao He had just left, he had been thinking about it, but he couldn't come to a conclusion no matter how much he thought. Thus, he decided to turn back and ask Lian Ru Yue about this.

"Xiao He, you young man have become famous and are known as the god of war, boasting that you're smart. Everyone respects you and keeps their distance, but today, you don't even know who the person you're capturing is. So, humans … sometimes, don't be too arrogant." After Lian Ruyue finished speaking, she indifferently turned around and gracefully walked away.

He had always been proud and valiant on the battlefield, but at such a young age, he had already achieved outstanding achievements in battle and had never placed anyone in his eyes. But today, in front of this little direct daughter of his, he felt a sense of defeat for the first time.

Because what she said was right, right now he actually didn't have any way to be sure that the person he captured was really Hui Zhi! This was the biggest setback he had ever faced. Lian Ruyue's mocking expression just now had deeply pierced his heart.

"Second Brother! Father is waiting for you. Xiao Hu hurriedly ran over, afraid that Xiao He would clash with Lian Meng Yue again. However, he only saw Xiao He standing on the spot in a daze. "Second Brother, Second Brother …"

Xiao Hu called out to him for a few times before Xiao He recovered his wits and followed Xiao Hu back. His expression was in a bit of a trance all along the way.

When he returned to the Xiao family, Xiao Zhenhai shouted at him to kneel down. Only then did he raise his head as if he had just awoken from a dream. "Father!"

"I told you to kneel!" Xiao Zhenhai took out his sword from his waist and ruthlessly hit his knee with the scabbard. Xiao Zhenhai felt pain as his feet bent and his tall body suddenly kneeled on the ground.

"Father …"

"Master, what's wrong?" Seeing this, Madam Xiao and Xiao Shan and Xiao Hu hurriedly took a step forward.

"All of you get down, I want to properly beat up my unfilial son, Xiao He!" This was the first time that Xiao Zhenhai was infuriated with his son that he was most proud of and did not want to show any face.

"…" Madam Xiao and Xiao Hu knew Xiao Zhenhai's temperament very well. Although they were worried about Xiao He, they still reluctantly walked out of the front hall and stood far away.

"Bam!" Xiao Zhenhai then raised his sword and viciously whipped Xiao He's back twenty times along with the sword sheath. The power Xiao Zhenhai used was not ordinary.

Xiao He, on the other hand, straightened his back and clenched his teeth, allowing Xiao Zhenhai to hit him. Even though a trace of blood was slowly flowing from the corner of his mouth, he didn't make a sound.

Xiao Zhenhai finally stopped what he was doing and sat on the big chair, saying, "Unfilial son, I have repeatedly told you not to get entangled with the Eleventh Princess, but you refused to listen to my advice, and you even went to the palace to meet her. Finally, today is the day you two will have to get married!"

"Father, I like her. I want to be with someone I like, so why not!"

"Childish!" You think it's all right as long as you like it? Today, if your fiancée wasn't the Eleventh Princess but the Third Princess, the Fifth Princess, or the Thirteenth Princess, then we wouldn't need to suffer such humiliation. Just say that the person today is the Thirteenth Princess and that she can speak with the Emperor at any time.

"…" Xiao He tightly clenched his teeth as he said, "I only like her."

"Bastard!" Xiao Zhenhai's anger that he had just managed to suppress rose again, "Can't you tell? She is facing the Lian Clan everywhere today. For such a person, not to mention that she doesn't have any power behind her right now, even if she did, it would be for the Xiao Clan's sake. Do you want to marry a scourge and enter the Xiao Clan? "

"She's just young …"

"You!"

Xiao Zhenhai picked up the sword scabbard again and let Xiao He's back be whipped ruthlessly. He did not stop after ten more times and Madam Xiao could no longer hold herself back as she hurriedly entered to protect her master, Xiao He, saying, "Old master, it's enough. Don't hit him anymore. He will be broken. Hee Er, let's go back to your room!" Madam Xiao gave Xiao He a look and told him to stop speaking.
