Now that Xiao Bi has asked about the Xin family, Mr. Xiao can't continue to evade her.

"Prince Yong is a great hero of his generation, and he will not lose his head because of a beautiful woman.

But besides being beautiful, the girl from the Xin family also has some skills.

It didn’t take long for her to become King Yong’s concubine, and her popularity even overshadowed that of Princess Yong.”

Xiao Bi asked again: "I heard someone said that King Yong Fu Zhu was related to Concubine Xin. Is it true?"

Old Duke Xiao said with a smile: "Your grandfather was the first to pacify King Yong's rebellion. If according to your statement, wouldn't this credit have to be given to the Xin family?"

"How can I mean this, but... if Concubine Xin has no merit at all, how can the lives of the Xin family be saved?"

No matter how tolerant Emperor Fengping is, it is strange that he would be soft-hearted towards those who are rebellious after going through such hardships!

Xiao Laoguo said: "There are more than one beautiful girls in the Xin family, so naturally there are many people who will intercede for them in front of Emperor Fengping.

As for Concubine Xin, she probably saw that the situation was not right and decided to seek help from her father and brother in order to survive.

But before the news about her was sent out, King Yong discovered the clues, and he was killed by King Yong himself at that time."

Xiao Bi secretly sneered.

Although her grandfather did not say it explicitly, eighty percent of the people he said interceded for the Xin family were her good father.

Forget it, you can't rush everything. After all, my grandfather is old and he can't push too hard.

The little granddaughter stopped asking, and the tight string in Mr. Xiao's heart finally relaxed.

"How is your little aunt doing lately?"

Xiao Bi said with a smile: "I think she has never been so good! After returning to the capital, she was busy with the Shantang affairs all day long, and she was more energetic than before."

Old Duke Xiao stroked his long beard with joy: "I have never been optimistic about this marriage. How many of the royal family's children are reliable?

There is already a girl in our family who is trapped, how can we have a second one?

It's just that your fourth uncle's situation is special, and as an uncle, it's not easy for me to interfere too much.

Now that it's better, with Siyi's conditions, it won't be difficult to find another young talent."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the study.

Soon there was a knock on the door: "Grandpa, I have something to ask you."

"Come in!" Xiao Laoguo Gong raised his voice and responded.

Before Xiao Shan could push the door open, Xiao Bi had already opened it and looked at the young man outside the door with a smile: "Third brother-in-law!"

"Xiaojiu!" Xiang Chi also looked happy.

Xiao Bi raised her hand very attentively: "Third brother-in-law, please come in quickly and let me make a cup of tea. Thank you."

Naturally, she was referring to the matter of five thousand horses. She couldn't give him a substantial thank you for the time being, so it was better to make a cup of tea with her own hands.

Before Xiang Chi could be polite, Xiao Shan pretended to be angry and said: "Just a cup of tea? Your third brother-in-law has lost a lot of weight because of your horses!"

Xiao Bi stuck out her tongue, turned to Mr. Xiao Guo and said, "Grandpa, today I have seen what it means to be an extrovert girl!"

Xiao Shan grabbed her arm: "We sisters haven't seen each other for two years. Let's find a place to have a good talk first."

Xiao Bi knew that Xiang Chi must have something important to discuss with her grandfather. Although there was no need to avoid it, she followed Xiao Shan's wishes and was pulled to the side room.

After entering the side room, Xiao Shan pulled Xiao Bi to sit down on the Luohan bed, and said with a smile: "Those official matters are boring, why don't we two sisters talk together."

Xiao Bi looked at her carefully and exclaimed: "Ah! Third sister, I didn't realize just now that you are more beautiful than before!"

"Fuck you!" Xiao Shan turned her around and said, "You little brat, you are just trying to coax me. After giving birth to Brother Tao, I gained twenty kilograms, and I haven't completely lost weight yet. How can I still weigh it?"

It’s beautiful.”

Xiao Bi said: "I'm not coaxing you. Although the third sister's appearance has not changed much from before, her brows and eyes are full of joy. You can tell at a glance that she lives a particularly happy life."

She was definitely not trying to make Third Sister happy with these words.

Although she is not very old, I have seen too many women who are only rich and glorious but live an unhappy life.

Including her big sister.

As the mother of a country, the eldest sister has a dignified and noble temperament, and her eyebrows are full of peace, but the third sister has never looked so happy.

Xiao Shan sighed: "Xiaojiu, the third sister has indeed lived a good life these years, but this happiness is also hard-won."

Xiao Bi rested his head on her shoulder: "I know."

Xiao Heng was granted a marriage by the late emperor. When she was ten years old, she became the quasi-Crown Princess of the Wei Dynasty and the future empress.

Her relatives knew that she was unwilling, but no one could change her fate.

Xiao Shan's status is not comparable to that of Xiao Heng, but as the daughter of Duke Dingguo, she is also famous for her outstanding appearance and talent. At that time, she was also the object of many talented people in the capital vying to marry her.

Before she had time to think about who would be a good match, her grandfather picked a husband for her from the army - a young general whom she had never met and whose family background was unknown.

At that time, Xiao Shan was very resistant to the marriage.

It's not because of his family background. After all, the man was appreciated by his grandfather at a young age, and his future is sure to be good.

But this man was serving in the army. After marrying him, she would either have to stay in the capital alone, or she would have to leave the capital and follow him to the border.

She did not miss the prosperity of the capital, but she could not let go of her helpless aunt.

But her grandfather was the head of the family, and his words were no less important than imperial edicts in Dingguo Palace, so she had no way of resisting.

In addition, my aunt also tried hard to persuade her, saying that although she was a concubine, her grandfather loved her very much.

Since the grandfather chose that man as his grandson-in-law, it means that the man is very good in all aspects.

As for herself, she had no relationship with the Duke in the first place, and because she was old and beautiful, she had no desire to fight.

The ladies of the Duke's Mansion have always been kind to her, and she will not have a hard time staying there.

After repeated deliberation, Xiao Shan agreed to the marriage.

After marrying Xiang Chi, all she wanted at first was to be a qualified wife, go to Yanmen County with her husband, and take care of her elderly grandfather.

Unexpectedly, her relationship with Xiang Chi would become so good in a few years.

"Xiao Jiu." Xiao Shan hugged her sister's waist: "Third sister knows that you are a girl with lofty ambitions, who only thinks about making achievements and has little interest in the life of an ordinary woman.

But in this world, regardless of men or women, they always have to start a family after establishing a career.

Third sister is not as capable as you, but she is always a few years older than you and has experienced more things. There are some things she still wants to talk to you about."

"Third sister, tell me. I'm listening."

"My mother's biggest intention in seeking the imperial edict for your marriage independence was not to let your marriage be controlled by the royal family again.

Nowadays, no one in the world can control your marriage, but you must not choose a son-in-law just according to your own wishes.
