Chapter 57
Mu Shuyu walked toward Xiao Jinfeng with the child in his arms. Although he gave birth to a little Ger son, Xiao Jinfeng loved this son very much, which made Mu Shuyu very happy.
“You have been drinking again and you reek of wine. Your son is going to dislike you,” Mu Shuyu complained with a smile.
“How can I be blamed for this? I can only blame Muan for making better wine, it’s strangely comfortable to drink,” Xiao Jinfeng said.
Mu Shuyu nodded and said, “That’s true.”
The best wine brewed at home was reserved for the family to drink, and the wine sold was what they didn’t drink. It was these abandoned wines that caused a huge stir in the Windy City and the reason their family could advance so quickly was because they often drank this spiritual wine.
“Let me hold him for a while.” Xiao Jinfeng stretched out his hand towards Mu Shuyu.
Mu Shuyu handed the baby in his hand to Xiao Jinfeng.
“Xiaofu is so cute! His nose looks just like mine.” Xiao Jinfeng was full of smiles.
Mu Shuyu looked at Xiao Jinfeng and said, “I hope that when he grows up, he won’t be an alcoholic like you.”
Xiao Jinfeng smiled awkwardly.
Xiao Xiaofu leaned towards Xiao Jinfeng’s mouth and sniffed gently. Xiao Jinfeng said somewhat proudly, “My body smells good, that’s why our son likes it very much!”
Xiao Xiaofu smacked Xiao Jinfeng’s face and Mu Shuyu laughed, saying “Yes! He likes you, he likes beating you.”
Xiao Jinfeng and Mu Shuyu were joking at home when the sound of roaring Jioma came in.
“Where’s the sound of horses coming from?” Xiao Jinfeng was confused. Jioma was a demonic beast raised mostly in big families, so there should be no such beast in small towns.
Xiao Jinfeng walked out of the door and looked at the visitors. He was surprised to find that it was an acquaintance, “Steward Xiao San, why are you here?”
“Young Master Jinfeng. I’m here to welcome you and Young Master Jingting back to the Xiao family on the order of the Second Master.”
“Second master, my father?” Xiao Jinfeng’s eyes widened with surprise.
……
The news that the Xiao family had distinguished guests at their door spread throughout the Mound Village in no time.
“Mother and father are actually still alive,” Xiao Jingting was very surprised.
It had been almost a year since Xiao Jingting had been sent to Mound Village and from Xiao Ping’s occasional letters, he learned that Xiao family had a lot of internal strife in the recent year. The four great families of Desert City were also in constant dispute, so he and Xiao Jinfeng who were expelled from the family, had basically been completely forgotten.
The original body owner’s parents went out with a friend to do a mission and as result, they were plotted against by their friends and fell off the cliff. The person who did the mission with the original body owner’s parents came back and claimed that the parents of the original body owner had met with misfortune, and everyone believed it.
As a result, after almost a year, the original body owner’s parents came back again. It seemed that the original body owner’s parents met some opportunities at the bottom of the cliff and their cultivation entered into eighth level of Qi Practice.
At present, the highest-level cultivator in the Xiao family was the old man at ninth level of Qi Practice. The original body owner’s parents were much younger than this old man, so it was only a matter of time before they would advance to the ninth level of Qi Practice.
When the parents of the original body owner returned, they became furious when they learned that their eldest son had been ostracized in the academy, their second son had become a target of public criticism, and the youngest son was expelled from the Xiao family.
Perhaps in order to stand out for Xiao Jinfeng, as soon as the original body owner’s parents came back, they whipped Xiao Muhong’s concubine, Feng Xue’er, to death in public. The reason was that Feng Xue’er had bad intentions, and dared to seduce the second young master of the Xiao family, was lustful and of lowly nature who also liked to speak nonsense and slander the second young master.
It was said that when the original body owner’s mother did it, Xiao Muhong stood right beside her and didn’t dare to say a word.
Xiao Jingting secretly shook his head, the so-called truth was always nothing more than something written by the victor. During this period of time, the Xiao family has been fighting endlessly, and as soon as the original body owner’s parents come back, the power in the family had to be changed again.
…………
Xiao Xiaofan laid down on the table and said weakly, “I don’t want to go back.”
For Xiao Xiaofan, the Xiao family was really not a good place. In the Xiao family, children of the same age always bullied Xiao Xiaofan, and he could only eat what was left over from other people’s meals. Xu Muan, who was afraid of Xiao Xiaofan being bullied, would often lock up Xiao Xiaofan and Xiao Xiaodong.
Xiao Xiaodong lowered his head, he also did not want to go back. The Mound village might not be as prosperous as the Xiao family, but he was free. Xiao Xiaodong only felt that the recent days were prosperous and fulfilling compared to the past, and the Xiao family was full of intrigues and tricks. Xiao Xiaodong had no good feelings for such places at all.
“Why doesn’t Xiaofan want to go back?” Xiao Jinfeng asked gently.
Xiao Xiaofan’s small hands supported his chin as he said in a tone full of frustration, “There are a lot of bad people over there who want to beat up Xiaofan.”
Xiao Jingting rubbed Xiao Xiaofan’s head and said, “You can fight back!”
“Xiaofan can’t beat them.” Xiao Xiaofan hung his head dejectedly.
“Daddy will help you,” Xiao Jingting said.
Hearing Xiao Jingting’s words, Xiao Xiaofan’s eyes lit up.
Xu Muan gave Xiao Jingting a helpless look.
