They had no idea what was going on during this period, but they were really surprised by their mother's words and deeds.

Since returning home, the two have been begging their mother for a while to see their sister, or to order someone to go to Ye's house to ask if they can get their sister back to the house.

But all these proposals were rejected by my mother one by one.

Even the mother guessed what they would do in private, and cut off their plans first, which led to them being anxious these days.

In addition, after returning to Beijing, the emperor had not been to court for many days on the grounds of being unwell, and they could not see Lord Ye in the morning court.

When they learned that Lord Ye is now a favorite minister around the emperor, they would go to the palace to help the emperor handle political affairs every day. The two brothers even intentionally stopped Lord Ye's carriage, but every time they would be stopped by their mother in time.

They have lived a torment these days, especially if they don’t know what kind of life Xiao Qin lives in the Ye Mansion, they are always uneasy.

So today the two of them mustered up the courage, and after breakfast, they came to their mother and knelt down, preparing to talk to their mother and argue. Seeing the two brothers kneeling in front of them, Mrs. Hou's face was gloomy, and she didn't have to think too much about what they wanted to say.

But she said she was tired of some things and couldn't stand these two people even talking to her for Xiao Qin's affairs.

After the two knelt down, Xiao Qin's elder brother looked sincere and did not give his mother a chance to react. He directly spoke, "Mother, my son just wants to know what happened before we returned to Beijing, why did you stop us from looking for a sister again and again? Why did you?"

The second brother of the Xiao family, who was kneeling aside, vaguely guessed in his heart what their mother was planning through the investigation during this period, so he continued his elder brother's words:

"Mother, actually, what are your thoughts next? My sons know, but my elder brother and I don't need to exchange our sister's happiness for a smooth career in our lives. If we even have to use our sister's marriage to obtain an official position, our sons will never be able to raise their heads in their lifetime."

"Actually, I have discussed it with my elder brother. We are willing to go back to our original place. Even if we never have the chance to return to Beijing in our lifetime, we will never regret it. But we never need to exchange our sister's marriage for the future of our brothers."

“!!”

Would you rather go back to where you were?

When Mrs. Hou heard what they said, she was so angry that she trembled all over and threw the cup at her hand to the ground, "You... you are so ruthless!"

The two brothers looked at each other. They had never seen their mother get so angry over the years, and hadn't waited for them to say anything.

Then I heard Mrs. Hou continue to roar, "Yes, you can go back to that remote place, but have you ever thought about me and your father, how will we live next? Have you ever thought about how many years will you live with me and your father at this age?"

"Did you have to let us not even have a son who has fallen into a basin after we die? Do you have to let your father and I not be able to raise our heads for the rest of our lives, and walk in this capital city with our heads down for the rest of our lives, and we are still pressing our faces to the ground to rub them, so that you will give up?"

Before Xiao Qin's accident, the Anle Hou Mansion was so glorious before, but what about the Anle Hou Mansion now? It gradually became depressed. Even the various flower-appreciation meetings held by the official wives in the capital rarely invited the people from the Anle Hou Mansion.

Ever since the incident happened in Anle Hou’s Mansion, since the two brothers were transferred from the capital, and since Anle Hou vowed not to care about the affairs of the court, their Anle Hou’s Mansion was just named as the Marquis Mansion, and no one looked down on it in this capital.
