"Condition?" Xiao Zhi unconsciously raised his voice, "You have this old man's blood on you, even if it is your responsibility to help the general's household. You actually raised some conditions with this old man?"

"Heh ~" Xiao Qingyi laughed coldly and twirled her fingers: "Father, I haven't said anything yet, why are you so agitated? What? Are you afraid that you won't be able to fulfill the conditions I put forward? "

Xiao Zhi's expression changed, and he said calmly: "What are you saying? "This old man is currently teaching you a lesson …"

"Teach me a lesson?" Xiao Qingran interrupted him with a sneer on her face. Her gentleness was no longer present on her face: "Then I want to ask, what basis do you have to teach me a lesson?"

"Did you throw me into a dilapidated courtyard by relying on my youth? Or was it based on three meals a day? or maybe even a little bit warm? "

After so many years, if this man had even the slightest bit of mercy towards this senior, then this senior wouldn't have been bullied to death six years ago by those people!

Xiao Zhi tightened his grip, "Are you looking for a refund?"

"No, of course not." Xiao Qingxi pursed her lips, her tone exceptionally cold: "I was only speaking the truth."

However, when he thought about the reason he called her over today, he could only temporarily suppress his fury. However, he was still unwilling to give up and wanted to use this daughter of his, who was out of his control, as evidence. "Why does this old man have to agree to your request? "You are a member of the general's household. This old man has called you here today not to discuss things. If I really do …"

"Even if you were to ask the Emperor for an imperial decree, it would be of no use. I believe that you're well aware of this point. Otherwise, you wouldn't have called me here today, right?" Xiao Qing's lips curved into a smile as she flung her sleeves in front of her belly, "You want to wake me up from today's conversation and have me inform Su Qian Xing that I will use his help to solve this problem for you."

The old emperor wasn't stupid. Now that everyone was aware of the situation in the capital, he had gone to request for an order for him to marry Su Qianxing. This fool could tell what he was planning?

At that time, don't talk about agreeing to this marriage, it would be good to not insult him.

"When the time comes, you won't need to appear and you can also solve this problem. Hehe, father, you really are good at scheming." Xiao Qing smacked her lips and a cold light flashed in her eyes. Then, she spoke with a smile, "However, I'm afraid that you don't have the intention to go all out."

Xiao Zhi's gaze darkened, and he was unconsciously brought in by her. "What?"

"Su Qianxing's current situation." Xiao Qing raised her eyebrows and listed out for him one by one, "First, after experiencing such a thing during the king's official banquet a few days ago, and before those assassins could be caught, the crown prince would definitely be unable to handle it. Do you think that he might agree to get married at this time?"

"Heh, actually, it's not that you haven't thought about it, but based on the current situation, you probably don't have time to think about it, right? After all, His Majesty has received news that you do not have much time left. "

Hearing this, Xiao Zhi's eyes trembled.

She was right. If it were anything else, he would have planned it beforehand. But this time, he was really caught off guard.

If he knew who the person on the list was, he would definitely not let him off!

"What do you mean?" Xiao Zhi was a smart person, so he naturally knew what to make of it.

Xiao Qingxi pursed her lips, not in a hurry: "Father, do you mean to agree to my conditions?"

Xiao Zhi didn't say anything, but the expression on his face was enough to explain everything.

"Alright then, since that's the case, then I'll bring it up." Xiao Qingran lowered her voice and raised her brows: "I want my mother's ancestral tablets to worship the ancestral hall, and my mother's name to be recorded in the family tree!"

"What did you say?!" Xiao Zhi was stunned. He leaned forward and instinctively stood up.

"Lord Father's reaction is a bit too great, right?" Is it really that difficult to agree to my condition? " When Xiao Qing Ran said this, her eyes were filled with a genuine coldness.

In this era, only the children in the main chamber and the main chamber were allowed to enter the family tree, and only those who had died could enter the ancestral hall.

Her mother was the main wife, but right now, she was indeed a concubine!

Of course she didn't care about these empty names, but she felt sorry for the woman who had never met or even seen her face in her dreams.

My father clearly married my mother first, then took a concubine. Although my mother was the daughter of a small family, she died for the sake of giving birth to her son, the son of the Xiao family, and I was only a few months away from her. However, my mother's death was less than half a year before you removed her tablet from the ancestral hall.

Xiao Zhi looked at her in shock. This kind of surprise was not only because of her words, but also because of how she had known everything so clearly.

After all, it had been more than twenty years, and those old people had all disappeared long ago as well. At that time, she was only half a year old.

I just want to know whether you agree or not. Of course, I am not in a hurry to know the answer, but I think that the current Emperor of the Imperial Palace must have made you answer in a hurry, right? "

Xiao Zhi clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at the person in front of him with a complicated expression.

He had never thought that one day, he would be threatened by a daughter that he had never cared about.

The great hall fell into an unprecedented silence, and even the atmosphere began to become stifling.

In the time it took to brew a cup of tea.

Xiao Zhi took in a deep breath and suppressed his tone, "According to what you said, you should have known since a long time ago."

She began by saying that she knew nothing of what was going on outside. She must have been waiting for an opportunity to ask her for this.

Xiao Qing Qing maintained her original expression and didn't say anything.

Xiao Zhi said in a low voice, "Is your method really going to work?"

Xiao Qingyi raised her eyebrows: "At least it won't affect you too much."

"Speak."

So he agreed.

"Then I'll thank Lord Father first." While she said the word 'thank you', her expression didn't contain the slightest bit of respect. She returned to the main topic at hand. "Actually, it wasn't that difficult. As long as Father can rush to the Imperial Palace and apologize to His Majesty, it would be fine."

Xiao Zhi was startled, "Please apologize?"

Xiao Qingran twirled her fingers, and there was some meaning in her words: "That's right, it's asking for forgiveness. Does Father know that the law does not punish the masses?"

Xiao Zhi's eyes darkened. He slowly narrowed his eyes as he pondered.

When Xiao Qing Ran returned, Riko had already prepared dinner and was waiting for her.

It was just that out of the three dishes on the table, only the sweet and sour pills and the sweet and sour fish were not present.

Xiao Qingyi let out a sigh and sat down in front of the table. She used her chopsticks to poke a few jujube leaves floating in the bowl and said helplessly: "Li Er, I think you're making a big deal out of nothing."

It was just a little more than a year ago that she had a stomach attack. How long has it been since this girl remembered it?

"I'm not making a big deal out of it. I'm teaching you to eat a reasonable meal." Riko nodded at a few dishes on the table before pouring a glass of water and pushing it in front of her, "Since you've eaten some sour fruits today, there hasn't been any tea to drink for the past two days."

The corner of Xiao Qing's mouth twitched as she felt that she had been abused.

However, this girl was doing it for his own good. He couldn't get angry, so he had no choice but to accept it.

She stuffed a pair of chopsticks into her mouth, smacked them together and sighed to herself.

Forget it, even if he were to kneel, he would still have to use it.

"Miss, I heard that Master left the palace not long ago to enter the Imperial Palace?" Rie stood beside her, waiting on her to eat.

Xiao Qingran actually wasn't used to her acting like this in all these years. She told her many times that this girl didn't stop.

The concept of exaltation of the ancients was too deep and thorough.

"Right."

Today's sweet and sour pills tasted pretty good.

"Not long after Miss left the main hall, the news spread out, saying that the old master personally promised Miss that he would present her mother's memorial tablet in the ancestral hall." Riko was rather happy to hear this topic, and even her tone became a lot lighter. "When the time comes, our concubine will be the Madam. Miss will also become a direct descendent. This is great."

Actually, the old master should have already done so since he was young. He had followed the young mistress since childhood and the young lady was her own wife. However, that woman had inherited the title of 'Madam' and had caused the young miss to suffer for so many years.

"That's right, when the time comes, those dirty things in the dirty water will be even more easily pulled out of the water." Xiao Qing Qing narrowed her eyes and said softly.

In his excitement, Pear did not notice what he had just heard. "What did Miss say?"

"Nothing." Xiao Qing suddenly shook her head and scooped up a spoonful of porridge.

"I heard that the Young Miss wanted the Master to go to the palace and ask for forgiveness? "Miss, are you sure this will work?"

"It's impossible for him to do it alone. He still needs some help."

"Help?"

"Right." Xiao Qing Ran nodded her head: "That list has most of the officials from the imperial court. Even if the old emperor wanted to clear the imperial court, he would have to consider the consequences. If he were to sit together according to the law, then the imperial court would not be able to fill in the bill."

"Su Qianxing understood this logic as well. Naturally, he wanted to follow and plead for mercy. This is a good opportunity for him to make a name for himself in front of the emperor and win the hearts of the court officials." In addition, our lord general has personally requested for the old emperor to step down. When the time comes, this matter will naturally be resolved perfectly. "

It was likely that they were only looking for a few leaders to make an example for them to kill. After which, those little thieves would naturally become a pile of loose sand.

But that was enough, and the people on the list should have felt the weight of their heads on their belts, letting them know what to do.

"So that's how it is ~ It's because Miss has thought it through carefully."

"The thoughtful is yet to come." Xiao Qing Ran smirked as she wiped her hands with a towel. "Li Er, go to the crown prince's residence and send a message. This good person can't let Su Qian Xing do it all by himself. Remember, go secretly and don't let anyone know. "

"Yes."
