A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

Chapter 259 Don’t take the usual path

The old man's pupils dilated and he blinked in astonishment. The muscles on his face froze all of a sudden and he sat on the bed, motionless. He could understand everything his son said, but when they were put together, it didn't seem to make sense.

Xiao Zhen added another shot: "The widow is ten years older than him!"

The old marquis was fried until he was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. A mouthful of blood got stuck in his throat and he almost suffocated to death.

There are so many beautiful maids in the mansion, and at worst, there are all kinds of girls in the brothel. Why would he marry a widow, and she is so old. You little bastard, you are really not picky, you can eat anything.

The old man's blood boiled and he felt a tightness in his chest. He was even angrier than when he knew that he was gambling.

Over the years, all the concubines he found were of clean family background, pretty and young. How could he put his face down? If people knew about it, the whole family would laugh their heads off.

"Where are they? Come in and help me change my clothes! Go and call Lao Wu's family over to me!"

Venting his anger on the servants outside.

He put on his clothes, leaned on a cane, and refused his aunt's support, "Don't follow me, Boss, follow me to the main hall."

The servants had no idea what was going on. Seeing their usually cheerful master suddenly so angry, they were so scared that they lowered their heads and shrank their bodies, acting like cowards.

Xiao Ze, the fifth master of the Xiao family, rushed to the old man's yard with his whole family. They didn't know what the old man was crazy about at this time of night. Wouldn't it be nice to hide in the quilt in such a cold day? Is there anything that can't be said tomorrow?

The older he gets, the less presentable he becomes, and he does whatever he wants.

Xiao Ze suppressed his dissatisfaction and took his whole family with him. In the cold wind, he lowered his head and kept increasing his pace.

"father!"

Looking at Laozi and Xiao Zhen sitting in the middle of the main room, he became even more dissatisfied. You guys are sitting comfortably, but his whole family is blowing cold wind in the dark night. Is the sky falling?

"Dad, what are you asking us to do at this hour? We just got into bed."

Seeing his youngest son dare to blame him, the old man became furious. He was a heartless person. Not only was he lazy and unmotivated, but he couldn't even take care of his own children. Even if he had no future, he couldn't just let him be a rich man.

"Get the hell down in front of me!" The cane slammed heavily on the floor tiles.

Xiao Ze's knees went weak and he subconsciously knelt down with a plop. His knees collided with the floor tiles and he grimaced in pain.

The others followed suit and knelt.

"Dad, what did I do wrong again?" Xiao Ze looked like an old man looking for trouble. He had been trying to be a good boy recently, and he urged his children to study at home every day. The children were also very well behaved and worked very hard, which touched him a lot.

If this doesn’t work, what else do you want from him?

"What did you do wrong? How have you been taking care of the children recently? What has Old Seven been doing recently?"

“I study every day.”

"Reading every day, are you sure? Are you blind? Or is there nothing at all?"

The old man looked very disappointed. This idiot, such a big person, slipped away right under his nose and he didn't even notice it.

Xiao Feng was suddenly called out, and he was a little overwhelmed. Did he sneak out today and get caught? Or did the doorman report him?

"You went out?" Xiao Ze looked at his son. When, why didn't he know?

"I feel a little tired this afternoon, so I'm going out for a walk."

He nodded in understanding. Studying is not tiring. Even a dog needs to be let loose sometimes. His father was making a big fuss.

"Dad, it's not good to study all the time. It's time to combine work and rest and go out for a walk." What's the point of raising a nerd by staying at home every day?

"You evil creature, you still dare to hide it? Go out to relax? Are you honest when you say this? Tell me the truth, what did you do when you went out?"

Xiao Feng's heart skipped a beat. "Today... today... I went to the gambling house and played a few rounds. Grandpa, I was wrong. I won't do it again! I've been studying a lot lately and I've been under a lot of pressure. I wanted to relax. Don't worry, I bet very little, really very little!"

Damn, no wonder Dad is so angry, he hates others gambling the most, so many people have lost their fortunes because of gambling. This bastard is going to kill him.

Xiao Ze really wanted to kick him a few times to vent his anger.

Seeing that he was still hiding something and refusing to tell the truth, the old man was convinced. What a bastard, I didn't expect him to be so well behaved. He lied without blinking an eye. He would tell a little when asked. He would hide as much as he could. He was not honest at all. If the old man didn't know everything, he would really be fooled by him.

"anything else?"

What else? No more.

He can't tell anyone about his relationship with Lotus, even if he dies.

"Grandpa, your grandson will study hard in the future and will not let you down!" She looked at him with admiration on her face and a pair of eyes full of regret.

It is truly a touching scene of a prodigal son returning home.

The old man didn't know that he was actually a drama queen. How much had he cheated him in the past?

The son admitted his mistake, but the father didn't react at all. To be honest, Xiao Ze and his wife were not happy. He had played and admitted his mistake, so what else did he want? He didn't lose much, so he just didn't play anymore.

Xiao Ze's other two sons didn't dare to speak. They lowered their heads and knelt upright, fearing that the fire would burn them.

Although they didn't go out to hang out, they didn't study either. They hid in the study room reading storybooks.

The books on the imperial examinations were so boring that they could not read them at all. But the storybooks were more exciting, and they were so engrossed in reading them that the day passed in a flash.

"How did the widow know him?"

Xiao Feng's back froze instantly, his hands nervously grasping the corner of his robe.

The old man's words were like a bolt from the blue, making Xiao Ze and his wife dizzy and feeling darkness before their eyes.

The widow, who is the widow? What is her relationship with Ze'er?

"She...she...she..."

He swallowed nervously, "Grandpa, she...we..." He stuttered for a long time and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Seeing his hesitant look, the Marquis was so angry that he trembled.

There is no doubt that the two have an unspeakable relationship.

The weathered old eyes closed and he let out a long sigh, "Ah!"

"broken."

The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more.

"Grandpa...I..."

"Ok?"

Everyone was looking at the kneeling Xiao Feng, wondering why he was so confused. His family was not short of money, so if he wanted a woman, what kind of woman could he have?

Having an affair with someone, do you have to do such a dirty thing?

"I want to marry her."

The old man glared and breathed heavily. What the hell did he say?

The crutch in his hand smashed towards Xiao Feng fiercely, and blood dripped from his forehead.

"Take him away and don't let him step out of the room!"

He was too lazy to talk nonsense with him anymore. This was the shame of the Marquis' Mansion!

He looked at Xiao Ze with vicious eyes.

"Father, I..."

He cannot escape the blame for his son's disregard for moral principles.

But he was really wronged in this matter. Who the hell could have thought that his 15-year-old son would be so unconventional.
