The little troublemaker, Xu Xiaoxiao, was covered in injuries. Formerly one of the notorious trio in the Province, Madame Zhou smiled gracefully, portraying the image of a devoted wife and mother. Meanwhile, Minister Xu remained silent, his demeanour composed. The three of them stood by the door, silently observing the departure of the Zhou family.

Suddenly, Xiao w.a.n.g regretted calling Zhou Hengyang. Did you get beaten up? Madame Zhou asked, aware of Xiaoxiaos capabilities, knowing very few could challenge him. Was it Zhou Hengyang?

Xu Pei nodded, his expression filled with pain.

Sweetie, lets go. Ill get medicine for you. Dont be afraid. Mommy will protect you. I wont tease you about the child bride anymore. If youre unwilling, it was just a playful tease. Look, Su Wen didnt make a fuss about it, she didnt take it seriously. I didnt either. I just wanted to have some fun with you. Too bad youre not as entertaining as you used to be when you were kids.

Rea.s.suring her son, Zhou Yan led him away, applying medicine with a troubled expression.

Xu Xiaoxiao hissed and cursed Zhou Hengyang inwardly. I want the child bride. I wont let Zhou Hengyang off this time. Ill personally fetch Sixth Sister from the Childrens Palace tonight. Pretending surprise, Zhou Yan questioned, But didnt you hate her before?

The past is the past, now is the present.

Fine, go get her tonight. Remember, dont mistreat Sixth Sister.

I know.

Mother and son returned to the living room amicably to treat Xiaoxiaos wounds, leaving Xiaow.a.n.g gaping at the door. Minister, so a beating is all it takes? Can it put an end to the family war in your household?

Xu Pei nodded. In the past, we had to fight battles to end battles, he said seriously. I thought Xiaoxiao had grown up, and Zhou Yan had matured. There shouldnt have been a fight.

Awkwardly clearing his throat, Xiao w.a.n.g decided it was best not to listen further. He recalled the saying about not airing ones family feud in public.

Its alright. Its been a while since Ive been home. Ill be staying for a month this time. He intended to make the most of this opportunity to be with his wife.

Despite Xu Peis acknowledgement of his son and wifes noisy, extravagant,

and embarra.s.sing behaviour, everyone in town knew he cherished them. Anyone daring to speak ill of them should prepare for his retaliation.

However, during his absence, several incidents had occurred at home. He hadnt met the wife Hengyang unexpectedly found, making it crucial to a.s.sess her suitability for his son.

Even if she had no malicious intentions, it was something he needed to consider.

He remained ignorant of the Zhou familys intentions. Their uncharacteristic silence puzzled him. Observing the situation, he surmised that Hengyang likely held the upper hand. He had long known Hengyang to be the most ruthless among the younger generation.

Now, the Zhou family was facing the consequences. If they couldnt save Hengyang, they would lose Heng Guang.

With a sense of responsibility, Xu Pei glanced towards the living room. Through the windows, he watched his son obediently receiving treatment on the sofa. Xiaoxiao always seemed at odds with Hengyang since childhood, yet he admired Hengyang the most.

Children often gravitate towards older companions. In his younger days, Xiaoxiao had followed the Hengyang brothers like a shadow, making him jealous. Why should his precious treasure be s.n.a.t.c.hed away?

But theres nothing to be done. Xiaoxiao favoured the twin cousins. Now theres only one twin left, and its such a pity for Hengshan..
