Chapter 298: Taking Action Against the Xiao Family

    

y. She spoke softly: "Let me tell you a secret. Actually, just like you, I was born after my mother was raped. But I was luckier than you. My mother treated me well, and so did my grandparents."This s...Mr. Zhou nodded and sighed, then wrote again: "Diseases that arise from the heart are the most difficult to cure."

Qin Luoyan's eyes were a bit sour, but she still held back. "Mr. Zhou, incurable doesn't mean it can't be cured, right My friend used to be a very good person, and he was very important to me. If possible, Mr. Zhou, could you take a look at him for me"

Her gaze was clear and sincere. For a moment, Mr. Zhou stared at her expression, as if he found the shadow of someone in her. However, Mr. Zhou didn't say anything, hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

He wrote on the paper: "A heart ailment needs a heart remedy to cure it. To heal your friend's illness, you must first know the reason behind it. Only by knowing the cause can you find the root of the problem and treat it accordingly."

“I understand, it's just that his mind is a little out of sorts right now. We need some time to figure out exactly what happened. Mr. Zhou, could you stay here for a few more days As for the iron shoes, I can have them ready in seven days.” She bowed deeply to Mr. Zhou.

Her attitude left Mr. Zhou stunned. He quickly helped her up and wrote, "If you want me to stay a few more days, you just need to extend the deadline for making the iron shoes. But you didn't. You promised me only seven days. I am very grateful to you, so I am willing to stay a little longer."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou," Qin Luoyan pulled out a bright smile. She knew that deep down, Mr. Zhou wasn't actually a bad person; he just had a different stance from her.

Mr. Zhou waved his hand, sighed, and couldn't help but raise his hand to touch Qin Luoyan's head. His gaze at her was also filled with sadness, which made Qin Luoyan a little confused.

She wanted to ask, but Mr. Zhou shook his head and sent her out the door.

Mr. Zhou's door was shut again, no one saw the dejection on his face, nor did they see the deep-seated guilt and regret in his eyes.

He wouldn't tell this craftsman named Qin Feng that he saw the shadow of Qin Luo Yan in him. He felt guilty towards Qin Luo Yan, knowing how important a child was to a mother. But back then, he had used her child to blackmail her...

It snowed again, heavily, each flake falling like a whisper. In just a short time, the whole world was covered in a layer of pure white. It's a shame that such a beautiful snowy scene went unnoticed within the armory.

The incessant ping-pong sounds echoed through the workshop, resembling a chaotic symphony. After each note, no one could predict where the next would land in the melody.

In the heart of Phoenix City's authority, within the乾坤殿 (Sky Palace) of the Imperial Palace, Emperor Fu Ziheng wore a troubled expression as he looked down at Xiao Shufu, who knelt before him. The elderly man, over fifty years old, was bare-chested in the snowy weather, carrying twigs on his back, and publicly confessed his guilt in front of all civil and military officials. The reason for this humiliation was none other than his eldest daughter, Xiao Changyue, who had done something that brought shame upon the entire Xiao family.

Xiao Changyue's affair with the performer from Beiming, hidden behind the artificial mountain, had been exposed. Within a day or two, the news spread throughout Fengxi City like wildfire. The Xiao family was pushed to the brink of ruin as a result. Even Xiao Chengfu's son and commander of the Xiao family army, Xiao Qing, rushed back from the border.

"Your Majesty, my incompetence as a father has led to this. I am willing to accept any punishment! Your Majesty, please just kill me!" A cold wind swept in from the palace entrance, carrying snowflakes that danced in the air, making Xiao Shufu's body tremble even more violently.

His remorse and demeanor moved many officials from the Xiao family's faction. They came forward one after another to speak up for the Xiao family. They generally said that this matter was merely a mistake made by an ignorant daughter, and that Elder Master Xiao, being of advanced age, should not be subjected to such harm.

Under everyone's persuasion, Fu Ziheng became increasingly embarrassed. He looked at Fu Zimo, who stood beside him without saying a word, only with a cold face, "Xiao Changyue is now the princess of Wuxuan after all. At home from her father, and married she obeys her husband. I wonder what King Wuxuan thinks about how to handle this"

Fu Zi Mo raised his head, gazed deeply into Fu Zi Heng's eyes for a moment, then slowly took two steps forward, arriving before Xiao Shoufu and said: "Then what does Xiao Shoufu think I should do with your daughter"

Hearing this, Xiao's head of household immediately gritted his teeth and growled, "That daughter who disgraced our family's honor, it would be best if the Martial Duke executed her!"

Fu Zimuo let out a cold snort and turned to look at Xiao Qing who stood behind Xiao Shufǔ. Although Xiao Shufǔ was the head of the Xiao family, the Xiao family army was controlled by Xiao Qing. "General Xiao, what do you think about such a sister Should she be killed"

At this point, the best course of action is to cut your losses. The Xiao family's reputation has already been tarnished by Xiao Changyue, and it's almost impossible to salvage it at this point. However, when Fu Zimo asked Xiao Qing like that, he was actually taken aback. His expression flickered, as if he couldn't bring himself to speak.

"Well now, General Xiao, do you find my sister's predicament understandable" Fu Zimo wasn't in a hurry, merely idly twirling the jade ring on his finger.

"Seeing that Xiao Qing was not speaking, Xiao Shufu understood his thoughts. He turned back and glared at Xiao Qing, shouting: 'Unfilial son! What are you hesitating for That kind of sister, do you still want to keep her to harm our entire Xiao family'"

Xiao Qing gritted her teeth, her lips moved a few times, wanting to speak but unable to.

At that moment, Fu Zimo suddenly laughed, his laughter sounding abrupt and wild in the silent hall. Everyone was baffled by his laughter, wondering what it meant, when he abruptly stopped and turned to Fu Zi Heng, saying, "Your Majesty, General Xiao is too embarrassed to speak, so let me speak for him."

"What do you want to say" Fu Zi Heng's face turned grave. He understood Fu Zi Mo, whenever Fu Zi Mo wore this expression, it meant something had been carefully planned to its extreme.

Fu Zi Mo stood tall, his figure filling the center of the great hall. He wore a black fox fur cloak, symbolizing his status, and occasionally, a few daring snowflakes landed on his shoulders, melting away completely before they could leave a trace in the warmth of the interior.

Only hearing his cold voice say: "A few days ago, my men rescued a pregnant woman carrying six months at the riverbank. Strangely enough, the woman claimed to be General Xiao's wife. This isn't strange; every man has several women by his side for entertainment. The odd thing is that woman's appearance, which was eight points similar to my queen..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Qing staggered back a step and looked at Fu Zimo in shock, pointing at him and yelling: "How is that possible She's dead, she's definitely dead..."

Fu Zi Mo let out a light chuckle, completely ignoring Xiao Qing's current mixture of astonishment and anger. He simply clapped his hands, and immediately a guard brought in a woman with a large belly from outside the hall.
