But Uncle Zhong did not answer his question, but instead grabbed his hand tightly and asked with a hissing, “Did you see that Concubine Virtue be the person in the painting?”
Xiao Yifeng nodded heavily.
Hearing this, Uncle Zhong knelt on the ground and said crying, “Second Madam, it’s great that you didn’t die, it’s really great!”
Xiao Yifeng’s eyes widened because of Uncle Zhong’s words. He stood firmly on the spot like a stone sculpture.
At this time, he realized that in order to pray for his blessings, his mother went to the Buddhist temple, not because she was abducted or killed, but because she met the emperor and brought him back to the palace.
Her current identity is no longer the same as before. She is no longer the second wife of the Xiao family, but the emperor’s favorite concubine.
After understanding, Xiao Yifeng’s body was a little unsteady. He held the table and held his body hard to prevent him from being too embarrassed.
“Mom, why are you so cruel? In order to win the dragon and the phoenix, I put my father and Yifeng behind my head! We are in the capital, and you don’t even look back and take a look?”
Xiao Yifeng’s head raised high and let out a long question.
Uncle Zhong heard his words and knelt down in front of him, begging, “Second Master, you must not blame the second wife!”
Xiao Yifeng heard this, a bitter smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
“Can I blame her for doing the matter of abandoning her husband and children? How can she be a vain woman like her benevolent, and how can I be worthy of being a mother and wife? I have been in vain and my father and I have been worried about her for so many years and have been thinking about her day and night.”
Hearing this, Uncle Zhong showed a look of horror and anxiety on his face, and he waved his hands repeatedly, “Second Master, the second wife is not such a woman! There is no mother in the world who doesn’t love her children. I see every thing in my eyes. She has great difficulties in doing this!
“
Xiao Yifeng ignored Uncle Zhong’s words and his eyes became deserted. “From now on, don’t mention this woman in front of me. Don’t let my father know that she is still alive in this world!”
After saying this, Xiao Yifeng threw the portrait in his hand heavily to the ground and left in anger.
“Second Young Master, Second Master”
Uncle Zhong knelt on the ground and called out to his cold back, but Xiao Yifeng had gone further and further away and gradually disappeared at the end of the road.
“Second Young Master, you can’t treat your wife like this, do you know that she did this to protect the Xiao family and to protect you?”
Uncle Zhong murmured in the direction where he disappeared.
His eyes were full of helplessness. While he was reciting, he slowly stood up, walked to the portrait, bent over and picked up the dirty portrait..
He
Carefully wiped off the gray marks on the portrait, and slowly rolled up the scroll again.
Then he frowned and began to think about another serious problem.
What the second young master said was, what was the origin of the mysterious people who were looking around with the portrait of the Virtue Concubine?
If those people were secret guards sent by the palace as they expected, something would be a big deal.
Thinking of this, he pulled his legs and headed to Zhongyuan where the master was.
Seeing Uncle Zhong coming with anxiety, Master Xiao was surprised, “Uncle Zhong, is there something wrong with Yifeng?”
Uncle Zhong shook his head, “The Second Young Master is fine for the time being. I am here to find the master this time because I want to make sure something from the master.”
“What’s the matter?” Master Xiao asked with confusion. “Master, I heard from the Second Young Master that recently, someone has taken the portrait of the Second Lady and asked around. I want to know what these people are dressed up?” Uncle Zhong asked anxiously.
When Mr. Xiao heard him ask about this, he looked anxious. “According to the butler, they are all tall and burly, and they are wearing something on their waists.”
“What is it?” Uncle Zhong asked anxiously again.
