Zhou Cheng Emperor had a smile on his face. He looked at Xiao He and saw his heroic and handsome appearance. He praised, ”Indeed, a young hero has appeared since ancient times!”
”Xiao He thanks the Emperor!” Xiao He was unable to conceal the arrogance within his bones, and between his brows was a sense of youth and vigor.
Xiao Residence.
”Old master is back!”
”Old master is back!”
The gatekeeper ran all the way in and shouted excitedly. Madam Xiao suddenly stood up, her hands trembling a little as she hurriedly said:
”Quick, go welcome your father!” Madam Xiao quickly walked to the entrance of the mansion, followed by her eldest son Xiao Shan and her third son Xiao Hu. Everyone had an excited and happy expression on their faces.
Xiao Zhenhai and his group received the personal welcome from the Emperor at the city gates before returning to the Xiao Residence in the midst of the cheers of the commoners.
”Old master!” Madam Xiao, Lu Xi, saw Xiao Zhenhai and Xiao He wearing military uniforms, returning victorious. A smile broke out on her usually cold face.
Xiao Zhenhai dismounted from his horse and quickly walked in front of Madam Xiao. He bent down to help her up and said, ”Madam, your husband is back. Thank you for your hard work these days!”
”It's good that you've returned safely.”
From an outsider's point of view, General Xiao and his wife were really a good example that they treated each other as equals.
”Father!”
”Father!”
The two brothers, Xiao Shan and Xiao Hu, who were standing beside Madam Xiao, could not suppress the joy in their hearts as they called out to her.
”Mother!” Xiao He jumped down from his horse and walked in front of Madam Xiao. ”Your son is back.”
Madam Xiao felt gratified and proud of her favorite child. She nodded and said, ”He'er, you've worked hard for your father.”
”Big brother!”
”Brother, you're so awesome. I've heard about it. You've done a great deed and everyone is praising you.” Xiao Shan praised as he looked at his brave and warlike brother.
”It was all thanks to father's guidance.” Xiao He said with a smile.
The family finally entered the mansion. As soon as Xiao Zhenhai entered, the manor door closed and his expression turned cold. He took off the helmet on his head, undid the bandage on his hand, and threw it on the ground.
”Where is Rou-Er now?”
Hearing Xiao Zhenhai's question, everyone quieted down. Their faces revealed a serious and difficult expression.
”Hmph.” Xiao Zhenhai snorted coldly. He didn't even sit down as he immediately strode towards Xiao Rou's room. Madam Xiao and her three sons followed closely behind without a word.
Xiao Zhen Hai's expression became serious. Just as he was about to step into the courtyard, a shoe flew out directly from his chest. He nimbly dodged the shoe, and the shoe hit Xiao Shan's face, who was following closely behind, causing him to cover his face with the shoe.
Following that, Xiao Rou's sobbing sounds could be heard from inside. ”Scram! All of you, hurry up and scram! Don't appear in front of me again! Scram! Scram!”
Madam Xiao's expression froze for a moment. These days, Xiao Rou's mood had improved slightly and she no longer lost her temper every day. What had happened today?
Xiao Zhen Hai walked over and shouted, ”Rou Er!”
Xiao Rou was leaning on her walking stick as she was in a rage. She smashed everything in the room into pieces while a maid knelt in front of her, trembling.
