Chapter 26: Turning Your Face Only in a Moment

Huan Yu has no interest in the affairs of the He and Wang families.

If he hadn't wanted to help Xiao Bi, he wouldn't have even known that there were two such families in the capital.

He nodded and said: "That's very good. With their current situation, splitting up is the best choice.

From now on, Di Zhi will stay in Beijing, and the rest will go back to their ancestral home, so that everyone can live in peace and harmony."

The middle-aged man asked again: "Second Young Master, do we want to do anything else next?"

Huan Yu said: "No, you have been very tired recently. Please take a good rest for a few days."

※※※※

In the Souchang Garden, Xiao Bi was dressing up again.

But this time she did not wear women's clothing, but chose a gorgeous black brocade robe.

"Princess, are you planning to enter the palace?" Ying Shui asked.

Xiao Bi licked the broken hair on her temples: "What a good place the palace is. Who always goes there every two days? It was the Duke who just sent a message asking me to go there."

"You said last time that good babies will get sweets, but today's outfit..."

Xiao Bi smiled and said: "Don't eat too much sugar, otherwise your teeth will rot. Qingzhao, go get my favorite dagger."

"Yes." Qingzhao responded.

Ying Shui's eyelids twitched: "You don't want to..."

Xiao Bi patted her shoulder: "Don't think too much, your Master Jiu is not stupid. He can kill the enemy without even losing a hair on his head!"

After that, she took the dagger from Qingzhao's hand and said, "You guys wait here, I'll be back soon."

"Yes." The two maids did not dare to stop her and could only watch her walk out of the main room.

Because of "finance constraints", Xiao Guogong did not eat out as usual.

In addition, the weather has been too hot recently, and he has no appetite. He ordered the small kitchen to make cold noodles and a few dishes of cold dishes for one night, but he ate very deliciously.

After dinner, he found an idle book and read randomly while leaning on the recliner, waiting for Xiao Bi's arrival.

Just after turning a few pages, voices came from outside the study.

Xiao Guogong closed the idle book and placed it on the small desk, and sat up straight.

The study door was soon pushed open, and a handsome and noble girl dressed in men's clothing walked toward him with steady steps.

Duke Xiao took a deep breath.

Although he liked his daughter's beautiful and gentle dress that day, he had to admit that today's girl was really outstanding!

If she were a boy, let alone him, my father would probably want her to inherit the title, and for this he would not hesitate to break the rules left by his ancestors.

"Father." Xiao Bi cupped her fists and saluted, with a bright smile on her face.

In fact, she didn't want to salute at all, let alone smile.

But until her goal is achieved, she doesn't intend to arouse her father's vigilance.

Her smile has always been very contagious, but Xiao Guogong's mood suddenly became soaring.

He smiled and waved: "Bi'er, come and sit."

"Father, it's really cool here. Mommy doesn't allow me to use ice often. It's so hot that I can't sleep at night."

Xiao Guogong said: "She is doing it for your own good. Girls can't catch cold, otherwise they will suffer in the future."

Xiao Bi was too lazy to chat with him and asked with a smile: "You asked me to come over after dinner. Do you have anything to tell me?"

"I have something to tell you." Xiao Guogong said as he stood up and walked to the desk and opened the drawer.

"Come and take a look at this." He took out the land deed and spread it out on the table.

The corners of Xiao Bi's mouth curled up, it was finally here!

She walked over slowly and looked very curious: "What is this?"

Xiao Guogong pushed the land deed in front of her: "This is a farm that my father just bought. It is not too big, only a thousand acres of land, but the land is flat and fertile, and there is a river nearby."

"My father told me what to do because I don't know how to farm."

"You will be pregnant soon, and your father has nothing to give you, so this farm will be your dowry."

"No, no, no..." Xiao Bi took half a step back: "Father just gave me 200,000 taels of silver that day, why do I want the farm again?

Besides, I’m not getting married soon, so the dowry and the like are inappropriate, and I won’t let those big sisters that my mother prepared for me touch.”

Xiao Guogong's eyes were a little moist.

Bi'er is so sensible. Compared with her, Xin Su seems too greedy and petty.

He put the land deed into Xiao Bi's hand: "Sooner or later it will be yours, and it will be troublesome to stay with my father.

What’s a farm? You are my father’s most beloved child, and when you get married, my father will buy you a lot of good things.”

Xiao Bi secretly curled her lips.

Will someone die if I don't brag for a day?

She had just discounted more than 300,000 taels, and she didn't believe how much cash her father still had on hand.

Since you love to pretend to be rich, of course I will make it happen!

She stuffed the eight land deeds into her arms, raised her little face and said, "Father is not allowed to break his promise. If you fail to do it then, I will be unhappy!"

Xiao Guogong's heart was warm and he burst out laughing.

However, even though he was smiling, he couldn't help laughing.

The reason is very simple. The smile on the face of the girl dressed in men's clothing disappeared without a trace, and her handsome face seemed to be instantly covered with a layer of frost.

"Bi...Bi'er..." Xiao Guogong's tongue seemed to be frozen.

"My lord, I have something to tell you."

The affectionate "father" was replaced by the dry "gongye", and the honorific title naturally disappeared.

Duke Xiao was slightly angry: "Bi'er, what exactly do you want to say?"

Xiao Bi said coldly: "When my father ascended the throne, my grandfather was about the same age as you are now.

He is a rare great man in the world for his literary skills and military skills, and my father will never be able to match him in his lifetime."

Duke Xiao's face became increasingly ugly.

Of course he knows that he is far inferior to his father, but anyone can say this, but can his children say it?

This is simply unreasonable!

"No matter how incompetent I am, it's not your turn to point fingers here!"

Xiao Bi shrugged: "Who is patient enough to give you some advice! I just want to tell you, if virtue is not worthy of your position, you should give way to virtue as soon as possible.

The second brother is not a few years younger than you were when you inherited the title. He is talented and has a good character and is more suitable to be the Duke of Ding than you."

"Nonsense, nonsense..." Xiao Guogong was furious and raised his finger to point at Xiao Bi's nose: "Are you crazy?!"

"It doesn't matter whether I'm crazy or not, just say yes or not." Xiao Bi slapped his hand away.

Her hand was so strong that Duke Xiao gasped in pain.

"You bastard, you've just taken so much money from me, and you're going to fall out whenever you want... That's not right!"

He glared at Xiao Bi angrily: "You have been deceiving me all this time!"

Xiao Bi sneered: "I'm sorry, this princess has always relied on her strength. Only people like you can do such things!

If you don’t believe it, you can recall it carefully. You stuffed the banknotes and land deeds into my hands. Did I ask for them from you?"
