Chapter 1577 could do without a son like you.

Chapter 1577: 1577 could do without a son like you.

Xiao Yuchuan had originally been indifferent to the attack on the Xiao couple and had turned to leave, but upon seeing several dead guards being carried out in the yard, he couldn’t help but step forward to examine the condition of the corpses.

Two family servants carried a dead body, not daring to move any further, and respectfully called out, "Young Master."

Xiao Yuchuan determined the cause of death of the corpses and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

The bodies had first been poisoned with an unknown poison powder that left them weak, allowing someone to easily end their lives with a sword.

This situation was true for several corpses in a row.

That poison powder had been developed by his wife, and he had seen it before in the room where his wife researched medicine back in Longwan Town.

That meant... the person who attacked Xiao Chonghuan couple had been sent by his wife!

Nowadays, with his marriage to Gongsun Qianru being known throughout the world, could it be that his wife was dissatisfied with him taking another wife, and this was her way of warning him?

A slight sense of expectation couldn’t help but rise in Xiao Yuchuan’s heart.

His wife had once said that if he dared to be unfaithful, she would kill him.

She would not tolerate him marrying another woman.

He had originally thought she was still in Longwan Town, but now it seemed she couldn’t let go of him and had followed him to the capital city. Otherwise, how could her specially developed poison powder be found here?

In the vast sea of people in the capital city, where would he go to find her?

Changing his mind, he decided to wait for her at the Xiao Family’s Mansion.

"Young Master?" the housekeeper called cautiously.

Xiao Yuchuan came back to his senses and waved to the people carrying the corpses, and the servants carried away the dead bodies one by one.

In the past, even a village man might have been scared by the sight of a dead body, but now...

Perhaps it was because he had lost her that he had grown so much; his indifference was greater than his resignation. Without her, he didn’t even want his life, so why would he fear dead bodies?

Moreover, he found...

His heart had become numb.

He strode into the East Garden wing room.

The housekeeper, watching his back, couldn’t help but feel relieved, thinking that the young Master was still concerned about the Master and the Lady.

Inside the side room, Xiao Chonghuan lay on a luxurious big bed, while Shen Yun lay on a low couch beside him.

The imperial doctor had already bandaged the legs of both.

Shen Yun and Xiao Chonghuan had already awakened, and upon hearing Gongsun Qianru, who had come to visit, say that they had already given Xiao Yuchuan the antidote, Shen Yun shouted anxiously, "Quick, don’t let Chuan’er escape, send someone to catch him!"

No sooner had she spoken than Xiao Yuchuan, who entered, responded, "Lady Xiao truly worries herself to pieces over me, Xiao Yuchuan."

Seeing her son had not left, Shen Yun couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile, "Chuan’er, you didn’t leave."

"The Xiao Clan’s glory and riches, he must have understood just by looking at this Mansion," Xiao Chonghuan endured the pain in his leg, his eyes flashing with contempt, "How could he bear to leave? The wealth that all covet, my son of Xiao, is no exception."

Gongsun Qianru, upon hearing this, felt somewhat embarrassed.

Shen Yun, with a pale face, said, "Master, we only have one son, how can you speak such harsh words?"

Xiao Chonghuan would not have spoken like this in the past, but now that Shuang’er, the Maid, was pregnant, if she bore him a son... then they wouldn’t miss Xiao Yuchuan, the unfilial son!

He was only about fifty years old this year and did not want to give up control of the Xiao Clan so early. After twenty years, when he would be seventy, a son born to Shuang’er would be just the right age to support the Xiao Family.

Though it was possible that Shuang’er might bear a daughter, there was also an equal chance that she might have a son.

After all, Xiao Chonghuan was not limited to a single line of descent.

More importantly...

Once Shuang’er became pregnant, he could take several more women; if one woman couldn’t bear him a son, ten or dozens would suffice.
