Xiao Qingshan saw his wife crying happily, and for a moment he couldn't bear to interrupt her. He immediately carried his son who was about to run away and returned to the yard, "Tell me! What did you two brothers and sisters do again?"

Xiao Qingshan has been too busy recently. It was not easy for him to find time to visit Mingjia before. Mingjun didn't dare to hide anything at this time, from the previous bowl of soothing soup to Mingjia's concealment of his illness.

Mingjun's desire to survive made him decide that he must betray his sister at this time, hoping that this could exchange for his own safety. "I just found out about my sister's condition, and she also hid it from me!"

Xiao Qingshan has gone from being shocked to distressed at the beginning, and finally angry. Mingjun lowered his head just enough to see his father's clenched fist. Mingjun felt that he was going to die today.

After asking everything, Xiao Qingshan looked back at the room and saw that his wife was holding her daughter and sobbing softly. "I'll go to the front yard to find your master. You take good care of your mother here."

Mingjun didn't know that his father suddenly had something urgent and he had to go to the master at this time, but he still nodded obediently. Xiao Qingshan glanced at his wife and daughter, then turned and left the main courtyard.

Mingjia knew that Dong would be sad because of her hearing, but Dong's sadness completely exceeded Mingjia's imagination. Mingjia immediately turned to Mrs. Shui and Mrs. Yan for help.

The two women had a tacit understanding at this time and lowered their heads together. Mrs. Shui knew that her wife was anxious and worried during this time. There are some things that Mrs. Yan always wants to find an opportunity to give some advice to the young lady, but the time is always not right.

Soon Xiao Qingshan came back from the study room in the front yard, and the boy behind him held a lot of paper, pen and ink in his hands. When Xiao Qingshan passed by Mingjun, he didn't even look at Mingjun. He just said coldly: "Follow me!"

Mingjun was stunned for a moment, then trotted to follow his father. Xiao Qingshan walked into the room, pulled Mingjia from Dong's arms, turned to Mrs. Shui and told Mrs. Shui: "Take your wife to freshen up, and take good care of her."

Xiao Qingshan pulled Mingjia, grabbed Mingjun with the other hand, and carried one with the other. The brother and sister were carried by their biological father towards the ancestral hall at the back. It is said to be an ancestral hall, but it is actually an empty room dedicated to Xiao Qingshan's old boy's father.

When he arrived at the ancestral hall, Xiao Qingshan directly placed the two children in front of the futon, "Kneel down!" Mingjun knelt down directly. Although Mingjia couldn't hear the sound, she also knelt down when she saw her brother's appearance. .

Xiao Qingshan turned around and took the pen and ink from the boy's hand, then waved the boy, Mrs. Yan and others to go down. Xiao Qingshan controlled his trembling hands and began to grind slowly.

Mingjia knelt on the futon, not daring to look back at her father, but she dared to turn her head and ask Mingjun with her eyes: "Brother, what's wrong?" Mingjun was also confused, and moved his lips slightly, "I don't know!"

After the ink was finished, Xiao Qingshan hesitated for a while before writing, and finally wrote a sentence on the paper. Xiao Qingshan put down his pen, picked up the paper, came to Mingjun and Mingjia, and handed the paper to Mingjia.

"You have been smart since childhood, but in your heart, father is father and mother is mother." There was only this sentence on the paper. Mingjun tilted his head and was shocked when he saw the content on the paper. How could his father say such serious words.

Ming Jia took the words on the paper and looked up at Xiao Qingshan in confusion. Xiao Qingshan was also staring at her, and the father and daughter looked at each other.

Just looking at each other, Mingjia knew that his father really wanted to ask whether he regarded him as his father. Mingjia suddenly retracted his gaze and looked down at the line of words in his hand.

When Xiao Qingshan saw his daughter's reaction, he knew that Mingjia needed to think carefully about this answer. Xiao Qingshan turned to Mingjun and said, "You two, brother and sister, just kneel here!"

After saying that, without waiting for any reaction from the two children, he walked out of the ancestral hall. Xiao Qingshan ordered his servants to guard at the entrance of the ancestral hall. No one could enter, not even Dong.

Mingjun knew that his father was really angry this time, but he wanted to say that his sister was still sick, so he could just punish him alone! In the past few years, he has actually knelt in the ancestral hall several times, but this was the first time for his sister to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Mingjia kept holding the paper, and she began to feel puzzled by Xiao Qingshan's question. She has always respected and protected the Xiao family, and in order to protect the Dong family, she did use some tricks.

But why did daddy ask her that? Mingjia stared at a line of words and asked herself, does she really regard Xiao Qingshan as her father and Dong as her mother?

After thinking for a few times, Mingjia got the answer. No! there has never been! Her attitude towards Mr. Dong is not the way a daughter would treat her mother.

She understood Dong's subconscious behavior of favoring boys over girls, after all, in this era. Dong misunderstood her, and she was not sad. When encountering problems, Mingjia always solves them by himself.

Even Xiao Qingshan and Ming Jia don't have the same sense of dependence and trust that a daughter has for her father. "So, did dad discover my indifference and coldness?"

Mingjun was a little scared because he found that his sister was really distracted staring at the sentence written by his father. So, is my sister thinking about this issue seriously?

When Mrs. Dong came back from freshening up, she heard from the maid that the master had left with his two children. After Ms. Dong vented her emotions, she just wanted to ask her husband to find a miracle doctor and treat her daughter.

They sent their maids to find out where the husband had taken the children, and finally found out that the two children were locked up in the ancestral hall and made to kneel. Mrs. Dong couldn't sit still all of a sudden and wanted to bring the two children back.

Mrs. Shui quickly stopped Mrs. Dong, "Madam, I must have my own reasons for behaving like this. If you are worried, please send a boy to the front yard to talk to Master Yuan!"

Mrs. Shui felt that Master Yuan and Mr. Xie might know something about the reason why the young master and the young lady were punished. The two of them also really felt sorry for the young master and the young lady. If they also felt that the young master and the young lady deserved punishment, then it would be better for the wife not to influence the master in disciplining the children.

Mrs. Shui was born in the Duke Chengen's house, and all the young ladies in the house were well-educated. Usually it is the mother-in-law who teaches, and sometimes the mistress of the house teaches, but if the master wants to discipline, no one else dares to stop him.

Moreover, the young lady in the house looks dignified in front of others, but she is also a little girl behind the scenes. She will act coquettishly with her mother or seek shelter when she gets into trouble. Mrs. Shui felt that Miss Mingjia would definitely not seek refuge with her wife.

However, Mrs. Shui thought it would be good for Mr. Xiao to take action to discipline the young lady. But I hope Mr. Xiao can use the right method. Miss Mingjia is a very independent lady.

Miss Mingjia is usually fine, but her tinnitus has caused her to become deaf. It has been more than half a month that such an important matter has been hidden from my parents. If I had told you earlier, the doctors would have been invited back now.
