Xiao family.

“Mother there is news of Xiao Jinfeng!” Xiao Muhong walked into the room and said.

“Oh? Where did he go?” Liu Xian asked lightly.

“He went in the direction of Mound Village. He should have gone to meet Xiao Jingting.” Xiao Muhong said.

Liu Xian laughed sarcastically “Xiao Jinfeng is so sick and desperate that he actually went to Xiao Jingting’s place.”

Xiao Muhong nodded his head and said “That is right, what kind of person is Xiao Jingting? Xiao Jinfeng actually went to him, he really is desperate.”

“There’s no need to kill Xiao Jinfeng now that he’s like this, let them go.” Liu Xian said.

Xiao Muhong frowned and said, “Mother, this guy Xiao Jinfeng is really vengeful, if he…”

“No matter how powerful he is, he is only a level 4 Qi practitioner. Without the protection of his family, it will be very difficult for him to recover. He was poisoned this time and treatment was dragged for so long, even if he recovers, it will still leave behind some after-effect. He will have no hope of becoming level 5 Qi Practitioner in his life. Your second uncle and second aunt just died. At this time, if Xiao Jinfeng dies as well, it will inevitably provoke suspicion.”

Xiao Muhong nodded and said “Mother is right.”

“Your father is now at the crucial time of competing for the position of the head of the family. If these sons of your second uncle are not properly handled, it will not be good for the other houses to catch hold of them.” Liu Xian pointed out.

“I understand mother. At present the most important thing is my father’s competition for the position of family head. Xiao Jinfeng is also very capable. He is obviously a man who does not understand amorous feelings, but when he was in distress, he still had a ger accompanying him…” When he was not paying attention, that ger actually took Xiao Jinfeng away.

Liu Xian narrowed her eyes and said “Your second uncle’s sons can now be considered useless. Xiao Jinfeng attributes aren’t good and he has been expelled from the mercenary team. Xiao Jingting is only proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. He is also useless. Mother has waited for so many years, but finally this day has come.”

“Mother, you forgot, there’s still Xiao Qingyan from the second uncle’s family. When second aunt was still alive, she was most fond of this son.” Xiao Muhong said.

Bifeng academy was a holy place in many people’s minds, Xiao Muhong also wanted to enter and Liu Xian has also thought about it. Unfortunately, the assessment of Bifeng Academy was extremely difficult. Even though Liu Xian finally won the examination opportunity for Xiao Muhong, Xiao Muhong did not pass so Xiao Muhong has always been very jealous of Xiao Qingyan.

“Don’t worry about him. He went so far as going after the young lady of Hou house and was beaten.” Liu Xian was full of glee.

Xiao Muhong was unexpectedly surprised “He has been beaten?”

Liu Xian was also very jealous of Xiao Qingyan “Yes, there is a gathering of talents in Bifeng Academy, there are even those who in their twenties are level nine Qi Practitioners. Xiao Qingyan is somewhat talented, but when he is compared to those people, he is nothing more than that.”

Xiao Muhong nodded and said, “So that’s how it is.”

“In the past, Xiao Qingyan had the financial support of his parents and had a good life in the academy. But now that he has no backing, sooner or later, he won’t be able to make it, so we should now focus more on your third and fourth uncles as our targets.” Liu Xian clenched her fist. They were the eldest but in the past, they were suppressed by the second house everywhere. Now that the second house was gone, the third and fourth house appeared again.

Xiao Muhong nodded and said, “Mother is right.” In the past, when the second house was there, they had a good relationship with the third and the fourth house in order to fight with the second house. But now that the second house was gone, everyone’s relationship had become competitive.

“The Sun family sent a message over, planning to ask you to find a date for you and Sun Miaomiao to settle down.” Liu Xian smiled.

Xiao Muhong became slightly red “Everything should be decided by the mother.”

Liu Xian smiled with satisfaction and said “My son is talented and good looking. No wonder that unruly girl of the Sun family was also attracted to you. Unlike Xiao Jingting, who is shameless and doesn’t know how much he weighs, but still dares to pursue Miss Sun.”

When Xiao Muhong heard these words, his face showed a bit of ridicule. When he thought of Xiao Jingting’s low-lying appearance in front of Sun Xiaomiao, he felt amused.

“Don’t you know the virtue of Xiao Jingting, Mother?” Xiao Muhong said in disdain “But, mother, when Xiao Jingting left, you gave him several mu of land, including a lot of first-class fields. You were very kind to that black sheep.”

Liu Xian smiled and said “Although Xiao Jingting is untalented, your grandfather treats him quite well. If we didn’t give him anything we would not be able to live up to it. I gave him the land, which is the guarantee of his life. If he sold all the fields, it would be his own failure. It has nothing to do with us. Besides, these fields are not a good thing.”

Xiao Muhong was puzzled as he said “The fields are not good.”

“When I got the land deed for these first class fields they had already been abandoned for half a month. Later, I transferred the land deed to Xiao Jingting and he should have been dragging his feet for more than a month. It is stipulated by the Marquis house that the first-class farmland can’t be idle and it needs to be compensated with silver.”

“That idiot Xiao Jingting, definitely doesn’t know that there is such a rule. When the Marquis pursues it, he won’t even know how he died. Maybe, we don’t even need to wait for Marquis to pursue it and this second generation ancestor would toss himself to death. Without the protection of his parents, Xiao Jingting is just a loser and it would be difficult for him to cause trouble for the family.” Liu Xian covered her mouth as she smiled.

“Mother is wise.” Xiao Muhong complimented.

Liu Xian looked at Xiao Muhong and said “You should have a long-term vision. Xiao Jingting has now been driven out of the Xiao family, and he can’t do anything about it. Your grandfather is about to leave isolation. If you want to find a way to please the old man, it is the right way to go.”

Xiao Muhong nodded and said in a high spirit “I know, mother.”
