Chapter 811: Ingratitude

d of being angry, he wore a look of satisfaction: "Well, looking at this boy, it seems like he has grown up a lot overnight.""Qian Sichin! What are you doing Let me go!" Xiao Yuge was carried out in f...Xiao Zhan could no longer bear it. He raised his hand and slapped her hard: "You dare to say those things about the men in black here Do you think everyone is as stupid as you If the Emperor hadn't seen Ge'er's face, do you think he would believe your ridiculous excuse"

"Father..." Xiao Yufu was stunned by this slap.

“It’s clear to everyone that your story is full of holes. If it weren't for Ge’er’s golden amulet, I don’t think we would have been able to return safely to the Xiao family.” At this critical moment, Xiao Zhan was not oblivious.

"Father..." Xiao Yufu caressed her hot and stinging cheek, feeling deeply wronged.

“Just stay in your room and don’t go out these days. There’s nothing for you to do, just wait until someone from the Prince's Mansion tells you when to cross the threshold, then you go at that time!” Xiao Zhan was also not used to her behavior, now the more he looked at his daughter, the angrier he became.

“Father, I am your daughter and the face of our Xiangfu. Are you truly going to let me become a concubine for someone else” Xiao Yufu panicked. If even her father wouldn't help her, then she would really have to become a concubine. In that case, she would never be able to hold her head high in public again.

“This is all your own doing, who do you have to blame You know that you represent the face of Xiangfu, but when you did those things that tarnished Xiangfu's reputation, how could you not have thought about how it affected Xiangfu's image Now that you can become a concubine of the prince, it is already an imperial grace!”

"Father!" Xiao Yu Fu was still about to say something.

Xiao Zhan glared fiercely at her, then ordered, "An Ling, take the young lady back to the room. If she runs out again and does something disgraceful, I'll skin you alive!"

"Yes! Master!" Anling was also so frightened that her legs went weak, she didn't dare to stay, so she quickly helped the young mistress back to the room.

Xiao Zhan's fist slammed onto the table, yet he remained filled with resentment: "How could I, Xiao Zhan, have given birth to such a foolish daughter!"

"My lord, please calm down." The mistress beside him had remained silent all this time because she knew too, that her daughter was indeed in the wrong. She poured a cup of tea and placed it before Xiao Zhan, softly persuading, "My lord, although Fufu did make a mistake, she is still our daughter. You really have the heart to let her enter the Prince's mansion as a concubine In this way, how would everyone in the capital view us"

"My lady, as you can see, this girl doesn't realize she's done wrong even now. Before, we spoiled her too much, always trying to make up for the ten years of neglect we gave her. So, no matter how big a mistake she made, we secretly covered for her. But this time, she committed treason against the emperor! The Emperor not only doesn't punish her, but also allows her to become a concubine to the crown prince. This is already the greatest favor he could bestow."

"But, Master..." Although Madam Xiao felt that being a concubine was humiliating for her daughter, things had come to this, and she was helpless. She couldn't help but blame her daughter in her heart. She had such a good hand, but she played it all wrong.

"Alright, my lady, all I can think about now is how to save Ge'er from inside. She's locked up in the prison right now, that kind of place, it's not fit for human beings. With the King away, she only has us left." Xiao Zhan stood up, clenching his fists, pacing back and forth in the courtyard, unable to come up with a good plan.

"By the way, madam, I haven't seen Qi'er these days. Where is she"

Mrs. Xiao sighed: "This child has been out of the house all day since he was dismissed from his post, and I don't know where he went Even when Zhao Si was asked to look for him, there was no news for a long time."

“This child is really something else. Such a big thing happened at home, how could he not know to come back He's never been very fond of Ge'er anyway, how come when something happened to Ge'er, he disappeared without a trace! Really, day after day, none of them are worry-free...”

"Master!" Just then, Zhao Si came back supporting a completely drunk Chu Tianqi. Chu Tianqi had blood on his forehead and his clothes were dirty, as if he had just gotten into a fight.

"Qi'er!" Mrs. Xiao hurried to meet him, her heart filled with concern.

Xiao Zhan had never seen Chu Tianqi like this before. The strong smell of alcohol made him frown and he asked, "Zhao Si, how did you take care of your master What happened"

"Sir, please calm down! It was Young Master...he...he got into a fight at the gambling den..." It turned out that Chu Tianqi had drunk too much and lost miserably. He became enraged and started fighting someone at the gambling den.

"What are you talking about Gambling dens and brawls" Xiao Zhan was furious. He picked up a bucket of cold water and poured it straight onto Chu Tianqi's head!

"Master!" Madam Xiao wanted to stop him, but it was obviously too late.

"Who is it!" Chu Tianqi, who was drunk in his dream, was drenched by a bucket of cold water, waking him up half the time. Looking up at Xiao Zhan's furious face, he hurriedly knelt down: "Father!"

Xiao Zhan was so angry that his whole body trembled: "You actually went to the gambling den and learned to fight How are you doing I'm going to kill you today, you ungrateful wretch!" Having a daughter like this, raising a son like this, how could he not be angry Fortunately, his physique wasn't bad, otherwise, these two would have driven him crazy.

"Dad, I was wrong! I know I was wrong!" It was only then that Chu Tianqi realized he had made a mistake.

“The daughter of a renowned minister's family wants to abandon her own parents and recognize someone else as her father. The son of a renowned minister's family actually goes to gambling dens and fights with people, what kind of karma did I, Xiao Zhan, commit in my past life that would result in you bringing up such children!” Xiao Zhan said with anguish: “Do you know that Ge’er has been thrown into the Heavenly Prison and is about to be executed!”

"Father, what are you saying What's wrong with Ge'er" This woke up Chu Tianqi's alcohol completely. He asked anxiously, "Father, what happened" He hadn't been to the gambling den for two days, how come the sky was about to change when he came out

"She was caught in the act, accused of murdering the Empress Dowager. Such a big event, and you don't know What on earth are you doing" Right now, almost everyone in the capital knows, and the entire city is draped in mourning. This foolish son doesn't even know! How could he not be infuriating.

"Impossible! How could Ge'er have murdered the Empress Dowager! I must see the Emperor!" Chu Tianqi, in a rush of emotion, was about to dash out.

"Stop right there!" Xiao Zhan stopped him, "Now you know to be in a hurry, now you care about Ge'er, what have you been doing these past two days You think that by rushing in like this you can save Ge'er Are you the Prince or the General Now you are just an ordinary citizen without any official position. I'm afraid before you even reach the palace gates, you will be caught as an assassin!"g and Zhao in tow, left after delivering a harsh threat.Looking at their departing figures, Xiao Yufu only felt a chill run down her spine. She should have known from the start that these three were n...
