”I'm afraid I have to agree even if I don't want to.” The more Ru Yue refused, the more Lian Shiya wanted to obtain the carriage, and the more she wanted to refuse, the more Lian Shiya wanted to obtain the carriage.
”Eldest Miss, it's almost time. It's not good to be late, so why don't each of you take a step back? When we get back, we'll give Ya Er a ride on the carriage. How about it?” When the Xiao Clan saw that Lian Shiya was so obsessed with this carriage, they were dissatisfied with their mother's arrangements, so they came out and spoke.
”Right, let's do it this way. You won't suffer any loss from this, right?” Lian Shiya thought to herself, anyway, when they returned, most of the guests had already left. Who would pay attention to what carriage she and Lian Ruyue were riding in?
”Alright then, let's do it like this.” She didn't want to argue with him. It was just a carriage. She had never cared about these things, so she swapped them with Lian Shiya.
”Sister, thank you, big sister.” Lian Shiya didn't wait for Lianyue to leave the side of the carriage. She impatiently stepped on the gold and sat on it. She instructed the coachman and happily set off.
”This Third Young Miss is really going more and more overboard by stealing Eldest Miss's carriage in front of so many people. This was something the madame did for Eldest Miss, aren't you afraid that the madame will be angry?”
Lian Ruyue closed her eyes and did not open them, saying, ”Let her be. A carriage, don't let grandma know that it's annoying.”
In the cold winter's day, a banquet could be held in a busy city. Now, the only thing that could be seen was the Xiao Estate.
After Xiao Zhenhai returned with a victory, the Emperor, in addition to becoming an official, returned all of his powers to the Xiao family. Currently, the Xiao family occupied over a thousand acres of land south of the capital.
Today's banquet was even more spectacular, with countless servants carrying fine wine and delicacies as they shuttled back and forth. Before the banquet had even officially started, a stage had already been set up on the stage, and the stage was singing ”Star Seizer Pavilion”. As the guests slowly arrived, the table was bustling with noise and excitement.
However, from beginning to end, the Xiao family's master still did not show himself.
In the rear pavilion of the main hall.
At this moment, Xiao Zhenhai was seated on an armchair, emitting a dignified aura. Madam Xiao and Xiao Rou were seated on either side of him, while Xiao Shan, Xiao He, and Xiao Hu were standing behind him.
Xiao Zhenhai asked in a deep voice, ”He'Er, are you ready?”
Xiao He waved his hand and the dozens of men in black descended from the sky like bats in the dark night and knelt in front of Xiao Zhenhai.
”Father, these ten men are the soldiers in the battalion that I carefully selected. They are all of extraordinary skill and have killed countless enemies on the battlefield. Killing a mere company like the moon is effortless.” These people were Xiao He's most trusted aides and had an important role to play in his military affairs and the daily gathering of intelligence.
”To actually kill such a small direct descendant, he actually used the most elite soldiers of our battalion. I think highly of her. The death of Lian Xiyue is worth it.” Xiao Zhen Hai still didn't think much of Lian Ru Yue. It was just that Xiao Rou kept emphasizing that she was a demon. In order to ease his daughter's worries, he asked Xiao He to choose the assassin.
”Father, Lian Ru Yue is an evil spirit. I must use an inescapable net to capture her!” Sure enough, upon hearing Xiao Zhenhai's words, Xiao Rou immediately said that she had been possessed by Lian Ruo Yue and spent the entire day and night thinking about how to get revenge. Her face was so thin that it had caved in, and her eyes were dull and crazed; she no longer seemed like a normal person.
