In troubled times, the daughter-in-law returns

Chapter 154
"You!" The city lord's wife turned pale with anger and her breathing was difficult, "You...you actually talk to me like this?"

Since ancient times, where has one's own decision on major matters of marriage?Who gets married is not decided by the parents.

"Well," Sikong Ye's expression was still calm, "I said it. But I don't think it's an offense to my mother."

The mayor's wife leaned back, clutching her chest, trembling all over.

There was a flash in Sikong Ye's eyes, but he soon calmed down. He knew that although his mother was relatively weak, and she was prone to chest tightness and shortness of breath when she got angry, it was actually not that serious and would not cause any adverse consequences.

He stood still, as cold and hard as a stone.

The corners of the city lord's wife's eyes are slightly red. This is the son she gave birth to after being pregnant in October. It's just because she didn't raise her by her side since she was a child that she is as estranged as she is now like a stranger!
After receiving the report, the old city lord rushed over, and saw his son standing in the hall with a leisurely and indifferent attitude, while his wife's eyes were red, her face was pale, and she was pitifully weak.

He hurried over in three steps at a time, stretched out his hand to gently support his wife, asked a few words softly, then raised his head and said sternly: "Apologize to your mother!"

The castellan's wife quickly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, shook her head, and signaled him not to make a fuss.

But the old city lord looked serious, "He is our son, how can he be disrespectful to you?"

Sikong Ye smiled sarcastically, "Father, you accused me of the crime without knowing the ins and outs? Why have I ever been disrespectful to my mother?"

The old city lord looked down at the weak appearance of the mayor's wife, feeling very distressed, "If you hadn't said something that shouldn't be said, how could your mother be so angry with you?"

Sikong Ye sneered, "Father, seeing may not be believing, not to mention you never saw me contradicting mother."

The mayor's wife took a deep breath, she really didn't want to see the two fathers and sons arguing, and hurriedly said: "City lord, you don't have to be so anxious, Aye and I were just chatting casually, I couldn't control my emotions for a while , you know, I'm an old problem..."

The old city lord was still very angry. Even if the city lord's wife wasn't offended by Sikong Yeqi, but as a son, he still looked indifferent when he saw his mother's illness, right?

Sikong Ye bowed slightly, "If there is nothing else, my son will leave."

He didn't look at his parents' faces, and walked away.

The wife of the city lord stared fixedly at his back, two tears fell down without warning.
The old city lord panicked, and hurriedly wiped her tears, "You, you are too soft-hearted! Look at what he looks like now! He is so arrogant!"

The mayor's wife shook her head, "I'm sad, why didn't I keep him by my side back then? I neglected to take care of him back then, and now he doesn't have so much admiration for me, isn't it reasonable?"

Thinking of what happened back then, the old city lord couldn't help sighing, and asked, "What did you guys say to make it so unpleasant?"

The lady of the city lord told about what she was going to do and Sikong Ye's attitude.

The old city lord's face turned cold, "You can do whatever you want. His wings are hardened, so he can make decisions on his own? Marriage matters, how can he be so hasty!"

The mayor's wife was affected after all, and she was not in a high mood.

The old city lord comforted him for a long time before he got up and left, going directly to Sikong Ye's study.

Sikong Ye was busy with official duties, so he didn't stick to Xiao Yunqing all the time.

As soon as the old city lord stepped into his study, he felt a difference. Sikong Ye seemed to be a born superior, and he was much better than him in how to govern his subordinates.

Such a person is a born hero and should dominate the world.But Ruanrou Township is a tomb of heroes. He already knew that Sikong Ye had abandoned life and death more than once, and left everything behind for Xiao Yunqing, so Xiao Yunqing was the biggest obstacle for Sikong Ye to sweep the world. Obstacles cleared.

In fact, since he came back, he sent people to Liuyuan to kill people more than once, but Sikong Ye protected Xiao Yunqing very well, it was very difficult for his people to get close to that woman, even if they accidentally paid a heavy price to get close to that woman, However, it was discovered that the woman was not a good stubble, so she killed several times, but all of them failed.

With that in mind, the short journey has come to an end.

Someone had informed Sikong Ye a long time ago, and Sikong Ye put down the pen and ink in his hand, and stepped down to greet him.

The old city lord waved his hand, "You and my father and son meet in private, so don't be formal."

Sikong Ye was noncommittal, invited him in, and Gu An personally served tea.

After drinking half a cup of tea, the old city lord asked: "When did you release Sikong Zhen?" To say "release" is actually a euphemism. Sikong Zhen has been dead for a long time, that is, the weather is cold now, otherwise he would have rotted away. Rao is so, it is impossible to see it even now.

"Father," Sikong Ye remained motionless, "You have to understand one thing. It's not that I don't want to let people go, but that they violated the prohibition and their crime is unforgivable."

The old city lord sighed softly, "I know, it's just that there are no human feelings outside of legal principles. You also know that our Sikong family..."

The sarcasm on Sikong Ye's lips became bigger and bigger, and the old city lord felt that it was an eyesore. However, he really couldn't help but take this trip, "Aye, you should know that a single tree cannot make a forest..."

"Well," Sikong Ye nodded, "I know, so no matter at any time, I don't think that I can accomplish great things by myself. More often, I just use my words, and the real bloody battlefield is Those ordinary soldiers.

"Sometimes, the person who deserves the most credit is not me, but the counselors around me.

"I understand what father means, but I can't figure it out. I know it's a piece of rotten meat, and keeping it will only cause infinite harm to myself. Why keep it?

"I remember that when I was a child, my father taught me that 'big things are achieved without regard to small details'. Why did everything feel so pale when I came to my father's place?"

The old city lord smiled wryly, "Ah Ye, I told you before that your father's life was paid for by the tribe at a great price. Without them, I would not be where I am today, let alone you, so This kindness is as high as the mountains and as deep as the seas!

"In addition, the Sikong family has a big tree with deep roots. With the support of the whole family, no matter what you do, you will get twice the result with half the effort. But if you offend the whole family... Ah Ye, have you ever thought about it? It will also have a great impact on you." Big, to put it bluntly, you may not be able to bear it?"

Sikong Ye's eyes were slightly cold, "Father doesn't like me that much?"

"It's not a question of whether you like it or not," the old city lord suddenly felt that the conversation between the father and son was very difficult, as if they didn't have the same focus. "This is the fact! Who doesn't have Ling Yunzhi? But even an eagle has wings that can't reach it." The place!"
