Chapter 185: Vomiting Blood
The General's Little Peasant Wife
Translator: Vesper
Tong Bao Zhai was a completely all-powerful existence. Perhaps only they knew how powerful those people in Tong Bao Zhai were.
If something bad really happened to Ning Meng Yao, Xiao Country would be in big trouble, which wasnât what Xiao Qi Feng wanted.
âMeng Yaoâs very angry about this, thatâs why I come back here immediately. Itâs better for us to take action, rather than Meng Yao, or else Iâm afraid that the trouble would escalate.â Xiao Qi Tian did this for Xiao Qi Fengâs sake. It was indeed better for them to take action than letting Meng Yao do the job. If Ning Meng Yao was the one taking action, it might involve Xiao Countryâs economy. This was definitely not anyoneâs wish to see.
Xiao Qi Feng nodded. âYou did a good job. Iâll handle this matter well.â
âI believe in you, Brother.â Xiao Qi Tian nodded, feeling a little relaxed.
When Marquis Ling and his son arrived, they saw Xiao Qi Feng staring deeply at them. His eyes were full of storms as if they would soon erupt.
âYour Highness, Emperor Xiaoâ
Xiao Qi Feng shifted his eyes away from them and he busied himself with the medals in his hands. After he was done, he slowly opened his mouth and said: âMarquis Ling, you dare to assassinate the Prince? Let me ask you, who gave you the courage? Hmm?â
âYour Highness, this is an accusation. An accusation! I really donât know whatâs going on.â Marquis Ling listened to Xiao Qi Fengâs words and knew that his consequence would be terrible so he quickly asked for mercy.
âAccusation? So youâre saying that there are others in your residence who can give orders?â Xiao Qi Feng asked with a hint of incomprehension.
Marquis Ling and Ling Luo werenât stupid. They understood what Xiao Qi Feng meant.
âYour Highness, Iâll definitely investigate this matter clearly, and give you a good explanation.â Marquis Ling had a bad feeling. If this matter wasnât handled well, it might affect his entire family.
Xiao Qi Feng took a glance at Marquis Ling: âVery well, I donât have much patience. I believe Marquis Ling, you should know what I mean?â
âYes, Your Highness.â
Xiao Qi Tian sat leaning on a chair and looked down at the two men kneeling on the ground. He sneered: âI give you one day. If I do not receive an answer tomorrow, then donât blame me for the consequences.â
âYes, Your Highness, Prince Qiâ
After the two left, Xiao Qi Tian snorted and walked to Xiao Qi Fengâs side. He lay prone on his desk and said: âBrother, Meng Yao is really stingy. She brewed a special kind of wine that tasted better than Green Bamboo Wine but she doesnât want to give me at all.â
âOh? Why?â Isnât winemaking done to make money? Why isnât she willing to give?
âShe said that itâs specially made for her marriage, and she only brewed it once. After the wedding, sheâll give the leftovers to me. If there werenât then I wonât get any.â The more Xiao Qi Tian thought about it, the more pitiful he felt. How much money could he earn if he sold the wine?
Amused, Xiao Qi Feng looked at him: âYouâre worried about not being able to drink it anymore in the future, or about not being able to earn any money from it.â
The truth was revealed. Xiao Qi Tian touched his nose and laughed shyly: âBoth. Iâve decided that Iâll bring back the leftover wine after their marriage. And Iâll save money and buy it myself. So both of us can drink it slowly.â
Xiao Qi Feng kept quiet. He was convinced by Xiao Qi Tianâs words, and he was curious about the wine now. The wine he drank was taken from Xiao Qi Tian. If Xiao Qi Tian had any good wine, he would send some to Xiao Qi Feng so he wasnât worried about not able to drink it.
âBrother, what do you think we should do with them? After all, Xiao Zi Xuanâs pregnant now, and sheâs going into labor soon.â Xiao Qi Tian asked faintly.
âNo matter what, theyâll give you a satisfactory answer in the end, so you donât have to worry.â
âHey, who says Iâm worried. Theyâre the ones who are supposed to be worried. Iâm just depressed. Things were getting interesting at Tian Changâs place. But because of this matter, Iâm forced to come back here. Iâm so angry.â The thought of it angered Xiao Qi Tian once again. He could have so many delicious meals there, much better than what he had in the palace.
Xiao Qi Feng looked at his younger brother. Grinning, he rubbed his own forehead and said: âI think youâre angry because of having to come back here.â
âHey, how do you know, Brother?â
Xiao Qi Feng glanced at his brother, shook his head and laughed. Then he returned to finish his business.
After Marquis Ling returned, he was so furious that he smashed his beloved set of inkstones: âInvestigate this matter carefully, and find out who caused this trouble to us!â
