Chapter Fourteen: Interrogation

  Lin Suoli felt the air around her turn cold, and she involuntarily shivered. "No - not, not brother-in-law, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" No matter how Lin Suoli explained, it seemed so pale at this moment.

  However, a moment later, she turned her eyes and looked at Xiao Yun Tian. If you are not benevolent, I will not be righteous! I'll go back and tell my sister about this later.

  In her mind, she thought it was clear that this was the case, and it was also a matter of course. Her small eyes kept turning, sizing up the middle-aged woman who still had a youthful appearance. She herself had been in the imperial city for several years, but looking at her, she seemed unfamiliar, thinking she was from outside, yet unexpectedly knowing her brother-in-law?

  "Alright, let's go back!" Xiao Yun Tian said lightly, then wanted to pull Yuenu, but Yuenu instead pulled over Xiao Min beside her, ignoring him.

  Xiao Yun Tian's cold and piercing gaze made Xiao Min's heart skip a beat, sending shivers down her spine.

  This, Moon Lady doesn't want him to lead, can't blame herself?

  In her heart, she cried out for injustice and also knew that today's events had almost harmed Yueliang.

  Just gritting one's teeth and hanging one's head in shame.

  Just as everyone was about to leave, the beggar who had just looked at Xiao Min wanting to walk away immediately became unhappy.

  "Am I your father? You don't follow me, but instead follow them to enjoy good food and drink?" The beggar seemed to have given up as well, blocking Xiao Min's path, wanting to get to the bottom of things.

  "You...!" Xiao Min was furious, this guy really had no shame.

  Is it okay to bully just by looking at yourself?

  If it weren't for thinking of a soft name to pin on him, she would have liked to throw the beggar directly back into the trash heap.

  Took a deep breath and adjusted his mood.

  He looks like he wants to take advantage of a cheap wife, this is the mind of Sima Zhao, something that everyone on the street knows.

  If he continues to be so reckless, Xiao Min doesn't mind giving him a hard time.

  "Don't think that just because you've ruined your looks, I won't recognize you. You're my daughter for a day, and for a lifetime!" The beggar seemed to be in a hurry, looking around at the onlookers, but not one person spoke up for him. With a desperate look, he suddenly lunged forward, trying to snatch Xiao Min from Moon Lady's hands.

  Who would have thought that the normally intimidating Moon Lady suddenly pulled Xiao Min behind her, staring at the beggar with a frosty face, not saying a word, but her demeanor was unmistakable.

  At this moment, Xiao Ruochen, who had been motionless until now, suddenly stepped forward to stand between the two of them. His handsome face was as if cast in a mold, his icy eyes scanning the beggar.

  The beggar was stunned, just now that woman's skill, he had just witnessed it with his own eyes, looking at the little overlord beside him whose cheek was already swollen like a bun, and now there was another young master from the prime minister's mansion!

  At this moment, there is only a fallen tooth and swallowed blood. Thinking of this, the beggar swallowed his saliva.

  "Let you go!" The beggar paused, as if thinking of something "Tell me where your sister, that cheap woman, is right now?" The beggar took a step back.

  However, at this moment, Xiao Yun Tian looked at the beggar and said seriously, "This brother must have mistaken someone. This is Ben Xiangcai's long-lost daughter who has just been found, and her adoptive parents are not you!"

  A few simple words left the beggar speechless.

  The crowd suddenly understood and looked at him with disdain, almost wanting to throw things at him.

  Just as the beggar was stunned, several people had already left in a cloud of dust, leaving behind a group of commoners, who seemed to have something new to gossip about over tea and after dinner.

  At this moment, the originally crowded crowd gradually dispersed, and a delicate carriage also started slowly. A beautiful woman sat in the car, and at the moment when she put down the curtain, she was seen by that beggar just now.

  The beggar was taken aback at first, then suddenly shouted out "Stop, Rong'er! Wait for me!" His face showed more surprise than anything else. He hadn't expected that after searching for half a year without any news, he would see both of them on the same day?

  The horse carriage didn't stop, and the beggar boy started scolding with his mouth "You cheap person, get down for me!" At this moment, where does the fierce appearance look like meeting an acquaintance? Not to mention it's his own daughter?

  The horse carriage didn't stop for a moment from start to finish, and the beggar cursed loudly "Damn it, I've raised you for 16 years, how can you be so ungrateful!"

  Everyone watched as the beggar rushed straight towards the general's exclusive horse-drawn carriage, and immediately curled their lips. This beggar must have delusions of grandeur! One by one, they shook their heads and dispersed.

  The beggar watched as the horse carriage disappeared into the distance, and his originally expectant face turned gloomy. "As long as you two are here, there will come a day when you'll meet again!" His voice was harsh, making people's hearts skip a beat.

  In an instant, it seemed to have thought of something. Looking at the corner of the wall, the bowl of thin porridge that he had just begged for was now being enjoyed by a stray dog.

  The beggar was furious and wanted to drive it away, but the dog snarled at him fiercely.

  Just as he was about to turn around and look for a wooden stick or something, when he turned around, the person he saw was not someone else, but Lin Su who had a swollen face.

  "You're unlucky today, go back and you'll definitely get a scolding from your sister's husband. For now, come and keep me company to vent my anger!" The joking words made the beggar who was still arrogant just now retreat in terror for several steps, and he sat down on the ground with a thud...

  Leaves fluttered, and the fallen leaves gently fell on the eaves. A gentle breeze blew by, and the leaves twirled a few times before landing softly at Xiao Min's feet. She was already standing in front of the ancient-style Xiangfu study for the second time.

  Xiao Min hesitated for a moment, then lifted her foot and pushed open the door, entering inside.

  Still the familiar sandalwood scent, just with a hint of cold air.

  As the weather gradually cooled down, Xiao Min pulled up her sleeves.

  The already cold weather made her feel even colder with the chill emanating from the man's body in the room.

  "This is what you call treatment?" Xiao Yun Tian raised an eyebrow, his eyes coldly staring at Xiao Min below him. His voice was low and steady, leaving no room for doubt, but it was impossible to tell what he was thinking at the moment.

  Xiao Min opened his mouth, originally planning to take Yue Niang out today, letting her interact with more people outside and slowly forget the pain in her heart. Who would have thought that something like this would happen?

  The already chilly air in the room solidified a bit more, and Xiao Min fell silent for a moment.

  "Yes!" Frankly acknowledged, raised a pair of dark eyes like black onyx, looking at the man in high position.

  "Xian'er, where's my Xian'er?" The anxious voice of Yueniang echoed outside the door.

  "Get out! If you want to have a next time!" The cold voice, unable to hear the joy or sorrow in his heart, yet making people feel the severity of the unspoken second half of the sentence.

  Xiao Min stared at the melancholic man, but this refined man actually had such a cold and stern side?
