Chapter 422: Chapter 418: No Injustice_1

Yingbao paused for a moment: “Alright, you can come with Xiao Chengyu.”

The boy was overjoyed when he heard this. He bowed to Yingbao and said, “Thank you, sister.”

He then greeted Chunniang, “Aunt Chunniang, my name is Xiao Tong.”

Now that Xiao Tong has grown up, he finally understood that Mr. Wu was not his biological father.

Later, his mother from the Han Family and those from the Xiao Family were brought into Beijing, and Mr. Wu returned him to Han Yueniang.

However, even after moving into the Xiao residence, Xiao Tong would still occasionally go to Mr. Wu’s home and stay for a few days, treating him as his kin.

Chunniang merely nodded to the two of them without saying a word.

She was still furious at the moment.

What was wrong with that Lady Yao? She had the audacity to unilaterally arrange for their family’s daughter to meet a stranger of the opposite sex. She was disregarding the status of the Jiang Family!

Even in a village, where the rules are not so strict, people know that before matchmaking, there should be a go-between, and the two families should have a chance to understand each other. Only then does a meeting between the prospective couple take place, and only with the consent of the parents.

Lady Yao, with her loose talk, was treating her precious daughter as if she was a concubine for someone else. It was disgraceful. If it hadn’t been for the fact that they were guests in the Wu Family’s house that day, she would have slapped Lady Yao in the face.

Yingbao reached out and held her mother’s hand, silently comforting her.

Feeling her daughter’s concern, Chunniang calmed down a little and smiled at her, “This Kang is quite warm. I feel like dozing off.”

When Luo Zhao heard this, he leaned over and said, “Auntie Jiang, if you’re feeling tired, why don’t you rest for a bit? I’ll wake you up when the banquet begins.”

“Okay.” Chunniang couldn’t actually lie down, of course. She just leaned on the large embroidered pillow and pretended to close her eyes and rest.

Xiao Tong and Xiao Chengyu left quietly when they saw this. But they ran into Chen Tiantian and Xiao Chengjun on their way out.

“Second brother, let’s go and play pitch-pot.” Xiao Chengyu blinked at his brother, with a pleasing look on his face.

Xiao Chengjun frowned at him, “Where were you just now?”

“I was nowhere.” Ever since his father had a stroke, Xiao Chengyu and his mother’s status in the house had plummeted.

Since wide-scope elder brother Xiao Mo was not much of a participant in household affairs, the entire Xiao Residence was now under Xiao Chengjun’s command.

Thus, Xiao Chengyu was especially afraid of his second brother.

Xiao Chengjun looked at his younger brother coldly, “Do not run around in someone else’s house. You are not a child anymore. If you offend anyone, or disturb any young girls in the house, I will not spare you.”

Xiao Chengyu’s eyes opened wide, and he stuttered, “I, I didn’t offend anyone, and, and didn’t disturb any girls, I-I was just…”

Then he suddenly could not bring himself to finish his sentence.

Xiao Tong decided to help him out, “We didn’t disturb any girls. Sister Yingbao isn’t a stranger.”

As soon as Xiao Chengjun heard this name, his face darkened even more.

Chen Tiantian suddenly smiled gently, “So you were playing with Yingbao. Was she friendly to you?”

Xiao Tong nodded his head, “Sister Yingbao even promised that we could come and play at her house.”

Xiao Chengyu also hurriedly nodded his head.

Chen Tiantian got an idea and asked with a smile, “Young master, do you like Yingbao?”

Xiao Chengyu seemed confused, but he still nodded his head.

Chen Tiantian covered her mouth and laughed lightly, then she turned to Xiao Chengjun and said, “Look, Chengjun, the young master already has a girl he likes. You should tell the Lady when we get back. It’s time to start considering his marriage arrangements.”

Xiao Chengjun raised his eyebrows, “He is still so young. Our eldest brother isn’t even married yet. How could it be his turn to have a marriage arrangement?”

Chen Tiantian didn’t say anything, but she already had a plan in her heart.
