Chapter 839: 839-Tricky

“My son-in-law wouldn’t say that.”Madam Xie couldn’t believe it. What kind of person was her son-in-law? He was polite and cultured. It would be strange if he could say such unprofessional and mean words.

“Xuan Hui also wrote a letter to our residence.”

She sighed. A son-in-law was much better than her own son.

His own son had been out for half a year, but he had not seen a single letter from home. His son-in-law was so considerate and even wrote a letter to the Yue family. He was really a good son-in-law of Daliang.

“Where? Let me see.”

“Burn it.”

“Burned?” Madam Xie and Xiao Baoshu shouted in unison.

Sikong Xiao’s eyes widened in anger. He didn’t know which big mouth had told Xiao Baoshu that. If he hadn’t asked, wouldn’t it have been better if nothing had happened?

“I’ve been on the battlefield all year round. I’ve always burned all kinds of letters I receive after reading them, afraid of leaving traces. Wasn’t this normal? What are you making a fuss about?”

“Won’t it be fine if you know what’s going on after you see it? Isn’t it the same as telling you?”

With that, she went back to her room with her hands behind her back.

“I think he drank too much.” Madam Xie mumbled.

Could killing enemies on the battlefield be treated the same as receiving a letter from home? That was because he had drunk too much!

She knew how to burn the letter after drinking too much. She wasn’t afraid of burning herself with the wine.

“.. What about Xuan City? Still lying down? Tell her to stop practicing martial arts – – and stop being crazy with her. If anything happens to her stomach because of you, I won’t forgive you!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You don’t even know how to dress, and you only know how to hang around in front of me! An eyesore, go back to your courtyard and take care of your wife!” Madam Xie angrily chased Sikong Xiao back to his room. Different people had different lives. Everyone had their husbands to take care of them, but she didn’t have the life to enjoy it. She had to take care of them for the rest of her life.

Xiao Baoshu frowned for a long time, not taking Madam Xie’s scolding to heart.

This was a daily routine and they were used to it.

On the day he returned to Jiankang from Jiangzhou, his mother was not so impatient. She was as happy as she could be. She served him tea and water, afraid that he would be thirsty, hungry, or tired. In any case, she was extremely gentle.

Sure enough, within three days, Madam Xie reverted to her old habits and was no longer as amiable.

Today’s scene was normal, and he was used to it.

It was just that… Looking at Sikong Xiao’s steady steps and strong aura, he felt a surge of energy in his heart.

He didn’t look like someone who would burn his brother-in-law’s letter when he was drunk.

There must be something fishy going on. Xiao Baoshu rubbed his chin and returned to his courtyard.

The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng sat on the couch and ate a roasted lamb leg. Even though there was a palace maid serving her, her mouth was full of oil. When she saw Xiao Baoshu return not long after he left, she felt strange.”

“You came back so soon. Did you say something wrong again and make Abba angry?”

Xiao Baoshu sat down in front of her and chased the servants out. Then, he whispered into her ear,” “I think there’s something strange about this. Father actually said that he burned brother-in-law’s letter.”

“Why did you burn it?” The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng frowned, unable to understand.

“They say it’s out of habit.”

“What habit?”

“I’m afraid that the news will leak out during the war.”

The palace maid did not have time to help Xuan Cheng wipe his mouth clean. It was full of grease, making her feel a little uncomfortable. She pouted at Xiao Baoshu. Before she could speak, Xiao Baoshu leaned over and kissed her.

“Be good, let’s get down to business. We’ll kiss later. Oh, this smell is quite fragrant. I’ll eat some later.”

Xuan Cheng blushed.” I’m asking you to take a handkerchief so I can wipe my mouth.””

Xiao Baoshu nodded, not feeling embarrassed at all. After searching for a long time, Xuan Cheng finally found a silk handkerchief under a storybook. Before he could reach Xuan Cheng, he wiped her mouth a few times and threw it aside.

He didn’t wipe it clean, but Xuancheng felt pretty good about it.

“.. Why do you think it’s strange?” Xuan Cheng asked. The two of them finally returned to the main topic.

Xuan Cheng realized it later and his expression changed drastically.”Is it because something bad happened to brother-in-law? Father is afraid that if we find out, it will spread to Eldest Lady?!”

Xiao Baoshu slapped his thigh. All he could think of was that his father and brother-in-law were hiding something from him. There must be a reason for everything, but he did not know what the reason was. But now that Xuan Cheng said it, it might really be the case. Otherwise, there was really no need to burn the letter. Just because his parents liked his brother-in-law so much, his biological son had to stand aside and burn his family’s letter. It did not exist. Even if he did not frame it, he would still be considered reserved. After all, he was an elder.

“You think so too, right? No, I have to ask!”

Whoever dared to hurt his brother-in-law, he would take that person’s life!

What about his sister?

“Stay here obediently. I’ll be back soon.”

Xiao Baoshu hurriedly walked away and returned. Madam Xie and Sikong Xiao were worrying about Xiao Baoxin’s twins.

When Sikong Xiao saw Xiao Baoshu coming again, his eyebrows were raised. Before he could say anything, Xiao Baoshu had already made the first move,””Father, tell me the truth. Why did you burn brother-in-law’s letter? Is it not good news at all? Did brother-in-law meet with misfortune, or…What’s wrong? Tell me the truth!”

“What?!”

Before Sikong Xiao could answer, Madam Xie exploded. Her face turned green and her voice trembled. She looked at the tears in her eyes and was about to spit them out.

“Really? Old Xiao, tell me the truth. What happened to my son-in-law?”

“If you dare lie-”

“Alright, if it’s not enough, why don’t you guys shout! “Sikong Xiao flew into a rage. He could not let out a single fart. These two had already arranged the entire scene and wished that the curtain had been arranged.

He glared at Xiao Baoshu fiercely. If it weren’t for this guy, this matter wouldn’t have been leaked.

“It’s fine, someone did it, Xuan Hui wasn’t injured.”

“If you weren’t injured, why did you lie to us and burn our letters?”Madam Xie was smart for once. She sniffled and her eyes turned red.”Tell me the truth. Is the person-”

“What do you mean yes or no? No!” Sikong Xiao was furious. No one would believe a lie, and no one would believe the truth.

If he wasn’t worried that he wouldn’t explain the matter clearly, these two people would make wild guesses and eventually cause trouble for his daughter. He wouldn’t even bother with these two people. A good-for-nothing.

“I’m just guarding against your stupid mouth. Sikong Xiao glared at Madam Xie.”Squeeze your tears back. My son-in-law is fine. He hasn’t even scratched his skin.”

“I didn’t tell you because I was afraid that you wouldn’t keep your mouth shut. If my daughter knew, he would be worried.”

“Think about it, use your brain to think about it. Not only did Xuan Hui write letters to us, but he also wrote letters to the Xie family. He was returning to Xiapi to support his spirit, so it was understandable that he didn’t write home. Aren’t you afraid that your family will miss you?”
