Chapter 996 Gao Xiao'e's Tantrum
"Are these two people a mother and daughter?"
"They are none other than the eldest daughter of the Xiao family back then, now the young lady and her daughter of the Xiao family?"
"It's like the flood washed away the Dragon King's temple; our own people are fighting each other!"
"Those two gatekeepers are really blind, how dare they offend their own aunt and cousin?"
That young lady is clearly not someone to be trifled with!
"No wonder that mother and daughter dared to be so confident; they are originally members of the Xiao family!"
"However, I heard that this Miss Xiao married into the remote Ningcheng. The old master of the Xiao family has always looked down on this relative, which is why they rarely come back to visit."
I never expected that even the gatekeeper wouldn't recognize his own great-aunt.
……
In the distance, many people began to whisper among themselves again.
Gao Xiao'e stood with her hands on her hips, muttering incessantly, shouting and cursing.
Madam Xiao's eyes were red; she was truly aggrieved.
I grew up in this family, and now I'm being bullied by the watchdog.
As for Uncle Li, he quickly and carefully tried to appease him with kind words.
Today is a day of great joy!
Fortunately, not long after, a person rushed out from inside. It was none other than Xiao Yuanqing.
Upon hearing the news, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, with his wife following behind him.
Upon seeing Xiao Yuanqing, Gao Xiao'e raised her head even higher.
"Aunt, cousin!"
Xiao Yuanqing rushed forward, shouting.
This made Liu San and the others tremble with fear. They were really looking down on people; they didn't even recognize their own aunt.
As for the person who slapped Gao Xiao'e, he collapsed to the ground.
"What happened? Cousin, what happened to your face?"
Xiao Yuanqing's wife looked at Gao Xiao'e, who was staring at the sky, and then noticed the red and swollen handprint on her face. She quickly asked.
"What else could have happened? Wasn't he beaten by the dog servants of your Xiao family?"
"You really think we came to congratulate that woman Xiao Ran? Didn't you specifically invite me here?"
Gao Xiao'e screamed again.
"Huh? You got slapped in the face?"
Xiao Yuanqing's wife was stunned upon hearing this.
However, Gao Xiao'e's tone was really unacceptable, and she even openly called Xiao Ran "that woman," which was obviously provocative.
On the other side, Xiao Yuanqing had already grasped his aunt's hand. Upon hearing his cousin's words, the muscles on his face twitched.
However, he quickly understood the cause and effect, and immediately shouted: "Liu San! You dog of a servant, how dare you stop my aunt and cousin from entering the house, and even have someone slap my cousin's face, do you want to die?"
Liu San hurriedly and stammered, "Master, we really didn't mean it! We really didn't know that this was your great-aunt and your cousin!"
He could see at that moment that this young lady seemed to be at odds with his eldest daughter, Xiao Ran, constantly referring to her as "that woman Xiao Ran," showing her strong hostility.
“Apologize to my aunt and cousin right now, or I won’t let you off the hook!”
Xiao Yuanqing shouted again.
The most important thing right now is Xiao Ran's engagement banquet; we absolutely cannot allow any unforeseen complications.
Besides, these people were just following his orders to maintain order, so he had his own reasons for doing so.
As soon as he finished speaking, the gatekeepers hurriedly bowed and scraped to Xiao Min and Gao Xiao'e, apologizing profusely.
Xiao Min nodded slightly, but Gao Xiao'e still looked up and said, "Cousin, I told you, these lackeys dared to slap me in the face. You must fire them and never hire them again! Otherwise, I will not attend Xiao Ran's engagement banquet today!"
"Xiao'e, don't talk nonsense!"
Xiao Min immediately scolded him.
Xiao Yuanqing's face twitched violently again, while his wife's expression darkened.
To be honest, her husband is now the head of the Xiao family and the ruler of one of the three great families.
Although Gao Xiao'e is a cousin, she is ultimately from an ordinary family. It is really too presumptuous of her to say such things in front of so many people.
“Cousin, these servants are just working for the Xiao family. You are a magnanimous person, so please don’t hold it against them.”
Xiao Yuanqing, being the head of the family, took a deep breath and walked towards Gao Xiao'e with a smile.
"I don't care! You're my cousin, you have to stand up for me! If you don't fire them all today, I won't step foot in your Xiao family's door!"
Gao Xiao'e's lips trembled, tears welled up in her eyes instantly, and she cried out repeatedly.
"You're so old, and you're even engaged, why are you crying like a child?"
Xiao Yuanqing smiled helplessly and gently touched Gao Xiao'e's slapped cheek.
No matter what, she's still my cousin; it was just childish playfulness.
"I don't care! Cousin, you have to fire them today!"
Gao Xiao'e remained relentless.
"Cousin, don't bother with these people. They made a mistake and apologized, so please let them go. Come inside with us quickly, the convoy will be here soon, we're about to depart!"
Xiao Yuanqing's wife took Gao Xiao'e's hand and was about to walk into the gate.
But Gao Xiao'e was quite strong, and she broke free from her grasp, shouting, "They must be expelled! They must be expelled!"
More and more people gathered around, and many took photos and videos with their phones.
Xiao Yuanqing's wife's face grew increasingly grim, and even Xiao Yuanqing's face darkened.
His biggest fear right now is that something unexpected might happen; the engagement banquet must be held smoothly.
He immediately shouted, "Liu San! You and these men get out of here right now, and you are never to set foot in the Xiao family again!"
He could tell that Gao Xiao'e and his younger sister Xiao Ran didn't get along, and he was really afraid that she would deliberately cause trouble and ruin everything.
Upon hearing this, Liu San and his companions immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, begging for mercy: "Master, please spare us! I have an eighty-year-old mother to support and a baby crying for food. We depend on this wage to make a living, please..."
The scene immediately became even more chaotic, and several bursts of laughter could even be heard from afar.
Clearly, some people are having fun with this farce.
"Get out now! We can talk about it later!"
Xiao Yuanqing secretly gave the others a wink.
The most important thing right now is to appease Gao Xiao'e.
Liu San was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening. He hurriedly pulled the other two and turned to leave, giving Gao Xiao'e a fierce glare as he went.
"You child!"
Xiao Min also felt that things had gone a bit too far, and couldn't help but glare at her daughter.
"Is your cousin satisfied now? Can she come in with us?"
Xiao Yuanqing's wife spoke in a calm tone, with a hint of barely perceptible sarcasm on her face.
"Hmph, at least my cousin knows what's good for him!"
Gao Xiao'e gave a light snort and walked in with her head held high.
This made Xiao Yuanqing's wife's face turn even worse, and Xiao Yuanqing's face also darkened.
“We’ve spoiled this child, Yuanqing, please don’t take it to heart.”
Xiao Min frowned secretly.
Originally, I brought my daughter here hoping she could get closer to Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Yuanqing and strengthen their cousin relationship, but unexpectedly, it backfired.
With her keen eyesight, she naturally noticed the displeasure of Xiao Yuanqing and his wife.
"It's alright. My cousin is young and has a lively personality, I know that."
Xiao Yuanqing smiled and said in a casual tone.
No matter what, she's still my cousin, there's no need to be too serious about it.
Xiao Yuanqing's wife smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, Aunt, our Xiao family doesn't care about these things."
These words made Xiao Min feel even worse.
She specifically emphasized "our Xiao family," the implication being all too clear: you are no longer a member of the Xiao family, we are just relatives going through the motions.
The group quickly entered the Xiao family's gate and arrived at the inner courtyard.
Just then, Madam Xiao was looking out the door. When she saw the four people come in, she frowned and asked, "What was going on outside? Why are you only coming in now?"
