Not long after Wei Bingyan returned to the house and had just finished half of the tea in the cup, she heard a maid from the Xiao family's courtyard coming to convey a message.

Wei Zhong invited her over, as if he had something to ask her.

What could Wei Zhong want from her?

Wei Bingyan was confused deep down, but she still went to the main room.

As soon as she walked into the room, Wei Bingyan felt a depressing atmosphere, and saw Wei Zhonghan sitting upright in the main seat with a cold face.

Xiao sat directly at the bottom, with a very cold expression, and sipped the tea gently.

"Father, Mother." Wei Bingyan suppressed the confusion in her heart and bowed politely.

"Hmph!" Wei Zhong snorted coldly and slammed his palm heavily on the table. The sound was so loud that it scared everyone in the room to death.

Wei Bingyan's eyelids jumped and she looked at Wei Zhong in confusion.

Xiao gently put down the exquisite teacup and said softly, "Grandpa, if you have anything to say, just talk to me nicely. Don't get yourself sick from anger."

"Bingyan! Did you go to Li's house today?" Wei Zhong asked loudly.

"Yes!" Wei Bingyan was shocked. When she thought about the servants she saw beside Wei Zhong outside when she came out of Li's Mansion, she knew she could no longer hide it.

These days, when she went to Li's house, she did it all on purpose to hide it from Wei Zhong and didn't want Wei Zhong to know.

"What is your relationship with Mrs. Li?" Wei Zhong continued to ask with a gloomy face.

He had been in Jinyun City for so long, but had never been able to drag Li Debing into his own faction. Unexpectedly, when he was thinking of a feasible solution outside, he found out that his wife and daughter had been having an affair with Mrs. Li for a long time.

Moreover, everyone outside knew the inside story, but he knew nothing about it. He even blamed Mr. Tang for the fact that Lord Li's family was impenetrable. He really became a joke in the eyes of others!

Wei Bingyan looked at Wei Zhong innocently, "Father, I don't understand what you mean. Mrs. Li used to come to our house every day to check on and treat my mother. I sent her some desserts to express my gratitude. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Does she examine and treat you every day?" Wei Zhong turned around and looked directly at Xiao.

"Mrs. Li is an expert in acupuncture and treatment. Other doctors said that mother's illness is incurable, so I went to Mrs. Li to examine and treat her. Father, is this not enough?" Wei Bingyan tilted her cute little face back and looked at Wei Zhong without fear.

Wei Zhong was angry and asked, "Why have you never told me about this matter even though I have been in Jinyun City for so long?"

"How much time does father spend at home? I'm afraid you don't even know how mother's health is. What's he doing outside and who he's interacting with, mother and I have no idea. How does father want his daughter to tell you?" Wei Bingyan retorted fiercely.

"After not seeing you for a few months, you've become more eloquent!" Wei Zhong looked at Wei Bingyan, his eyelids twitching slightly from time to time. He felt as if he had just met such a daughter today. He never thought she had such courage before, and dared to talk back to him without admitting defeat!

Wei Bingyan lowered her head and said, "I don't have the courage."

"Master, is there any grudge between you and Marquis Li? How come you are so angry about our dealings with Madam Li?" Xiao listened to Wei Zhong's anger in silence, then stood up with a smile, walked to him, and asked softly after listening.

Wei Zhong's face brightened up a little when he saw Wei Bingyan's obedient and gentle appearance. "That Li Debing is stubborn and even disrespectful to the Crown Prince. He will definitely suffer in the future. You should have less contact with his family members, so as to avoid being dragged down by them in the future!"

Xiao looked at Wei Bingyan and said with a bright smile, "I heard from others that Lord Li is a stubborn official with a straightforward personality. Why are you angry with him, Master? He is just a small Lord, and he is 100,000 miles away from the capital. How can he understand so much? Who knows, he may figure it out completely one day in the future."

Wei Bingyan was smiling grimly in her heart, in the future?

In the future, it is unclear who will be dragged down by whom.

If she hadn't known that Li Yuyan would be second only to the emperor in the future, she wouldn't have dared to have any dealings with Mrs. Li, so as not to drag them down in the future.

"It is not wrong for you to have contact with Mrs. Li. Although Lord Li is not mentally sound, his wife may not agree with him. You should persuade Mrs. Li not to let Lord Li lose the entire Li family." Although Wei Zhong was angry that Li Debing was not willing to give him face, he still thought that he had to endure it for the sake of bigger things.

If you can persuade him through his wife, that would be great.

Xiao immediately agreed with a smile, but she ignored Wei Zhong's words. How could she mention such a thing to Madam Li?

Wei Bingyan's lips twitched, but she held back before opening her mouth to refute fiercely.

The matter was just covered up. Wei Zhong did not blame Wei Bingyan for going to the Li family, but talked about the two maids who had recently been added to the family.

"...It was given to me by someone else, so I can't refuse it politely. You haven't met them yet. I've asked them to wait outside. Go in and kowtow to you." When Wei Zhong talked about Qingxiu and Yuzhu, he naturally thought of that night, when he enjoyed being surrounded by beautiful women. His whole body felt numb, and a sinister fire shot up from his lower stomach.

Talking about the two women who had never been seen, Xiao's face, which had always had a faint smile, finally changed and her eyes became dim.

When Wei Bingyan saw Xiao's expression, she naturally felt upset deep down in her heart and only resented Wei Zhong for being so harmful.

"I heard from others that they are two interesting people. It's a rare opportunity for me to serve the master and I feel relieved." Xiao suppressed the pain in her heart and said superficial words with a smile on her face.

What else could she say except this?

Not only did she not allow those two people to enter the house, but she also asked Wei Zhong to drive them away. There were already many concubines and maids in the house, and adding two more would not be a big deal. She did not need to add to her reputation as a jealous person.

Wei Zhong felt deeply happy when he heard his wife's magnanimous words, and immediately sent someone to call Qingxiu and Yuzhu in.

Wei Bingyan clenched her fists tightly in her elegant sleeves, and gradually retreated to the side in silence. She rolled her eyes at the two beautiful and charming women who walked into the room with their heads bowed, and bowed to Wei Zhong in a soft and coquettish voice.

That voice was so charming that it could squeeze water out of it. When she glanced directly at Wei Zhong, her eyes were full of affection, as if she was shy and even embarrassed. Seeing this, Xiao's liver and lungs ached.

They are really two little monsters!

The anger that Wei Zhong had suppressed before suddenly became hot again when he saw their shy and amorous looks. If the place had not been unsuitable, he would have gone to bed with them in his arms.

"Ahem!" He coughed softly and looked at Qingxiu and the others sternly, "Although you are already members of the Wei family, you have not kowtowed to the Madam yet. You must serve the Madam well from now on and not be negligent or overstepping the boundaries. Remember this."

"I'll remember this." Qingxiu and Yuzhu immediately knelt down and spoke in a low voice.

Wei Zhong nodded with satisfaction.

Qingxiu and Yuzhu were not fools, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times towards Xiao's position, "This servant greets the Madam."

Xiao held the comfortable handle of the reclining chair and said calmly, "Get up, and serve the master seriously from now on. Don't make the master unhappy."

"Yes, ma'am." After being beaten up by Wei Bingyan the day before yesterday, the two men did not dare to show off today. They lowered their heads and responded in a low voice timidly.

Xiao looked directly at Wei Zhong, "The old man has been entertaining guests all day today, I think he must be tired, why not let them take care of you and go back to rest."

This is exactly what Wei Zhong wants!

"Then you should rest early, ma'am."

Xiao agreed with a smile and sent Wei Zhong out. The two maids bowed their heads and followed her forward.
