Rebirth: Miss Xiao doesn’t want the heir apparent anymore

"I don't want to get married? I want to stay with grandpa." Xiao Ziyan's face turned red and she lowered her head.

"This silly kid is still shy?" Mrs. Xiao San said with a soft smile.

Xiao Zixi looked at the cheerful and generous woman and the shy woman in front of her, lamenting that she was ignorant of everything in her previous life, but now that she was reborn, she didn't know their fate.

"Madam, young lady, the emperor has arrived. I have sent my servants to invite you to see him."

Hearing the maid's report, Xiao Zixi frowned, it was probably directed at herself, but it didn't matter, everyone had already colluded and refused to admit it.

"See Your Majesty."

Old Mrs. Xiao bowed, and the rest of the Xiao family and servants knelt on the ground.

Mu Chennian and Xiao Zixi stood aside. Mu Chennian bowed and Xiao Zixi bowed.

"Ping Shen." Bei Yuheng glanced at Mu Chennian and Xiao Zixi with a vague expression.

"Your Majesty, please..." Mrs. Xiao invited Bei Yuheng to the front hall, "Your Majesty, please take a seat."

After Bei Yuheng sat down, he said, "Sit down."

Mr. Xiao sat on the left side of Bei Yuheng, Xiao Yongfei and Mrs. Xiao San sat down one after another, and Xiao Ziyan stood beside Mrs. Xiao San.

Mu Chennian sat on the right side of Bei Yuheng, and Xiao Zixi sat next to him.

Xiao Qingzhu was young and was sent back to the yard for fear that he would disturb the Holy Master.

"I heard that Mr. Xiao found the daughter of his eldest son, Xiao Yongran?" Bei Yuheng asked with a normal expression.

Mr. Xiao replied with a complex expression: "Back to the emperor, the adopted daughter of the eldest son of the old minister has come to visit."

"Adopted daughter?" Bei Yuheng frowned.

"My wife Xiao Zixi is Xiao Yongran's adopted daughter." Xiao Zixi stood up and said to Beiyu Hengfu.

Bei Yuheng asked coldly: "Xiao Zixi? The Crown Princess of Pingyang Hou Mansion in Dajin?"

"She is my wife." Xiao Zixi's face remained as usual. Bei Yuheng knew that she was not surprised at all. Who let Pingyang Hou Mansion be favored?

Bei Yuheng chuckled and said: "[-]% like Xiao Yongran, [-]% like Mrs. Xiao. You tell me, you are just Xiao Yongran's adopted daughter."

"It's because my wife looks like Mrs. Xiao that my adoptive father recognized me." Xiao Zixi lied without changing her expression.

"Is there such a coincidence in the world?" Bei Yuheng still didn't believe it.

Xiao Zixi responded with a normal expression: "It's such a coincidence."

Bei Yuheng no longer struggled with this issue and asked in a deep voice: "Where is Xiao Yongran?"

"My foster father had great ambitions and was unhappy all day long. He has died."

These were very ordinary words, but to Bei Yuheng's ears they sounded different. It felt like Xiao Zixi was complaining.

"Dead."

Bei Yuheng repeated, with a slightly cold look on his face, looking at Xiao Zixi who looked a little sad.

Everyone was silent. Xiao Ziyan stood behind Mrs. Xiao San, keeping her head lowered. When everyone stopped talking, she was a little curious. She looked up and met Bei Yuheng's eyes.

Bei Yuheng took a look at the expressions of Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Yongli. Seeing their sad faces, he knew that what they said was true.

When he retracted his gaze, he happened to meet a pair of innocent eyes. The latter, forced by Bei Yuheng's coldness, quickly retracted his gaze and lowered his head.

Bei Yujueheng took a look at her. The woman in a green dress looked like a hibiscus emerging from the water, as quiet as an empty valley.

He remembered that she seemed to be the daughter of a branch of the Xiao family. Her father died in the battlefield and her mother died in love. She was brought back to the Xiao family by Mrs. Xiao to raise her.
