Chapter 925: Chapter 925: Envy, Jealousy, and Hate Turn Bad (2)

It would have been fine if you hadn’t mentioned it, but once you did, Xiao Xiong’s anger was blazing, and it shot up even higher. Pointing at Xiao Ruiyuan, he cursed vehemently, "If it weren’t for this evil offspring, Qing’er and Princess Ruining’s marriage would have already been settled. Qing’er wouldn’t be suffering in the Clan’s tomb up to this day. You’re magnanimous, not blaming this evil offspring, and even pleading for him. When has this evil offspring ever remembered your kindness?"

As he kept calling him an "evil offspring" over and over, Xiao Eleven wished he could immediately put a sack over this excuse of a father and throw him into the Lotus pond to feed the turtles.

Lady Wei looked at Xiao Ruiyuan with a sorrowful gaze, her face expressing pain as she weakly clutched at her husband’s sleeve and began to whimper softly. Yet even so, she continued to speak in his defense, "Lord Hou, please don’t blame the Princely Heir. It’s only because Qing’er was misled and did something wrong that he is being punished. It has nothing to do with the Princely Heir. Please, Lord Hou, don’t bear a grudge against the Princely Heir for Qing’er’s sake."

"You, you’re just too aware of the bigger picture, which is why this evil offspring acts without any concerns." Xiao Xiong was deeply moved and thought there was no woman more kind-hearted and generous than the one in his arms. He felt even more resentful toward his cold and heartless eldest son, "Since the Emperor has already decreed your marriage, it’s time to start thinking about your brother’s lifelong happiness. I will send for him in two days; you must not obstruct this."

Xiao Ruiyuan, who had been ignoring the couple, suddenly darkened at the words, his voice carrying a bloodthirsty chill, "Want to collect your favored son’s corpse? This general will fulfill your wish!"

Xiao Xiong was so angered that he reeled back, turning a shade of iron. He pointed at Xiao Ruiyuan for a good while before finally choking out two words, bellowing, "Evil Offspring!"

Being called an "Evil Offspring" by his biological father was nothing new to Xiao Ruiyuan; his expression didn’t change as he replied coldly, "Lord Hou, if you don’t believe me, you can try. You know that this general never breaks his word."

Having said that, he no longer looked at the nearly apoplectic Xiao Xiong and Lady Wei, who hid poison in her eyes, before he took the Imperial Edict and returned to his own courtyard.

Xiao Eleven hurried after him, stealthily glancing at his master to see if he’d been affected by those two despicable creatures but sighed in relief when it seemed he had not.

If the master was in a bad mood, their days below would not be easy!

Halfway there, Xiao Ruiyuan suddenly stopped and stared intently at Xiao Eleven.

Xiao Eleven, who was closely following, was caught off guard and nearly ran into him. Feeling a bit scared under his master’s unwavering gaze, he cautiously asked, "Does my lord have any instructions?"

"You must immediately head to Jiangnan and bring Zhang Qi and Li He to Jing City," commanded Xiao Ruiyuan in a deep tone. Seeing Xiao Eleven seemed confused, he unusually offered a hint, "Have the two of them work together to refurbish the General Mansion."

Hearing this, Xiao Eleven instantly understood. Just as he was about to ask for a delay until tomorrow morning to head south, he saw his master already striding away impatiently, leaving behind a strikingly upright silhouette.

Xiao Eleven silently wiped his face, revealing a gratified smile. His master had finally come to his senses, learning to please his future lady.

At that moment, a hand landed on Xiao Eleven’s shoulder, revealing Xiao Jiu’s face. He said with deep emotion, "I never dreamed that our master would take such care. Our lady must have accumulated good deeds for eight generations to meet a master who’s dedicated to her heart and soul."

Who were Zhang Qi and Li He? One was the most famous horticulturist in Jiangnan, and the other was a renowned restoration master in Great Chu. Every residence they had refurbished was exquisite.

Although the General Mansion wasn’t as grand or luxurious as the Hou Mansion, it was simple and majestic, and it certainly could serve as a bridal chamber. Yet the normally indifferent master about his living condition had actually invited the most famous restoration and horticulture masters to repair the General Mansion, which was clearly all for the sake of welcoming his future lady!
