Situ Xuan didn’t want to make a fuss, but she thought of those people using her mother’s dowry and still dared to show off at home, Situ Xuan nodded in agreement: “Very well, let’s go, Mu Chen.”
“Let’s go.”
The group of people went to the palace together, and Situ Ming was dragged away. As for the servants that had followed her, they quickly went back to tell the head of Situ family after seeing that something was wrong.
Upon hearing the noise outside, Situ Sheng frowned: “What’s all the noise about?”
Concubine Lu pushed the person who was blocking her way and ran toward Situ Sheng: “Master, you have to save Ming’er.”
Situ Sheng impatiently pushed the person in front of him and frowned, “What happened?” Situ Sheng was somewhat annoyed at Situ Ming, she was spoilt by Concubine Lu which was why she was arrogant and she always got into trouble.
“It’s all because of Situ Xuan, that little tart.” Concubine Lu said furiously. If it wasn’t for that tart, would she be just a wife until now? The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
When Situ Sheng heard this, he became gloomy, he pushed Concubine Lu away and shouted: “What did you just say?”
The people that Situ Sheng felt sorry the most in his life were Situ Xuan and her mother. That woman had a unique style, but she died right before her eyes. Just thinking about how she wasn’t willing to look at him at all when she was dying, and the words that she told Xuan Xuan before she died, really made his heart ache.
Concubine Lu knew that she had made a mistake once she spotted Situ Sheng’s angry expression, she quickly shook her head: “Master, I am not… I…”
“What the heck is going on?” Situ Sheng didn’t want to see her like this, so he demanded impatiently.
Concubine Lu stuttered as she told him what had happened. It made Situ Sheng even more furious, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
He slapped Concubine Lu’s face hard: “How did you teach your daughter? She deserves it.” She was merely a little girl born from a concubine, yet she dared to shout at the daughter of the first wife in front of several other people, she even let Xiao Qi Tian saw it. It was as if she was looking for death.
Concubine Lu cupped her cheek and kept quiet. She just looked at Situ Sheng with pleading eyes: “Master, Ming’er is your daughter too, you can’t just watch her getting punished and don’t do anything.”
When Lu Yuniang begged Situ Sheng to save Situ Meng, Xiao Qi Tian had already led Situ Meng and the rest into the palace.
He shoved Situ Meng aside disgustingly and said: “Brother, you have to stand up for Xuan Xuan.”
Xiao Qi Feng frowned, he stared at Situ Meng as her appearance turned from horror to obsession. Disgust filled his eyes as he demanded: “What’s going on?”
“She… She’s just a girl born from a concubine, yet she dares to shout at Xuan Xuan in public.” Xiao Qi Tian said in a tone that showed that he really hated this woman.
Situ Meng shook her head quickly: “Your Highness, no, I didn’t. That’s not true.”
“Guards, Situ Meng has committed an offense, drag her down to receive 30 spanks.” Xiao Qi Feng didn’t want to listen to her begging anymore, so he immediately ordered the guards to send her away.
“Situ Xuang, you little tart. This is all your fault. Your Highness, please have mercy.” The situation had already become this serious, but Situ Meng still dared to insult Situ Xuan, she even did it in front of Xiao Qi Feng, wasn’t this plainly seeking for trouble?
Xiao Qi Feng glared coldly at the people outside, his eyes were full of disdain.
“Xuan Xuan, why didn’t you come to see me since you’re back?” Xiao Qi Feng asked Situ Xuan helplessly.
“Brother Qi Feng, I just arrived, then I bumped into her.” Situ Meng couldn’t stand Situ Xuan, and so did she, she couldn’t wait for Situ Meng to die.
Xiao Qi Feng glanced at the crowd, ignoring their rudeness, he spoke to the people: “All of you, please take a seat.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I want to take back everything that belongs to my mother.” Situ Xuan said coldly.
When she married Situ Sheng, she had received quite a lot of dowry.
Xiao Qi Feng blinked at Situ Xuan and nodded: “Very well, I have a list of dowry here. This was what your mom left behind last time. It’s the dowry she prepared for you.”
Situ Xuan was grateful to see Xiao Qi Feng: “Thank you Brother Qi Feng.”
“But you should find a reason.” Ning Meng Yao spoke suddenly.
If she wanted to retrieve those dowries, she couldn’t simply do it without a reasonable reason.
Mu Chen’s eyes narrowed, he took a glance at Situ Xuan then he suddenly said: “Your Highness, please give me the permission to marry Xuan Xuan.”
