Chapter 8 Recognition between grandparents and grandchildren

"Bang!"

The mahogany table in the outer room was violently shattered by internal force and fell to the ground with a crash, causing a brief moment of silence in the room.

"Our Xiao family has always been loyal and patriotic, and we are definitely not the scourge of Mo country as others say!"

"Xiao Yichen! As a child of the Xiao family, you actually believe nonsense! You deserve to die!"

"You attribute Nan'er's illness to such a ridiculous reason, are you worthy of your elder brother?!"

Old General Xiao scolded Xiao Yichen coldly and angrily, and a chilling atmosphere gradually spread in the room. The servants knew that Old General Xiao was impatient, so they hurriedly continued to replace the cold water and wipe the young master's body.

Xiao Yichen, who was scolded, opened his mouth. He wanted to refute but got stuck in his throat. In the end, no word came out.

Originally he didn't believe in fate, but all the accidents in the Xiao family over the years have forced him to believe it. Now in the entire Xiao family, only his father is still holding on.

One day, everyone in the Xiao family will die silently in Guancheng.

Just when there was deathly silence in the house, Fu Bing stood outside the door with a jade sign.

"General, there is a girl outside the house asking to see you."

The soldier held the jade plaque in both hands and continued in front of General Xiao, "She claims to be your granddaughter, and this is a token."

General Xiao and Xiao Yichen were stunned, and immediately turned to look at the soldiers outside the door. The old man quickly came to the door and took the jade plaque from the soldiers' hands.

this……

It’s really the beauty’s jade medal!

General Xiao excitedly held the jade plaque in his hand and suddenly thought of his daughter Hongyan who was giving birth at home when he was demoted. As a father, he was driven out of the city by the city's army before he even had time to see his granddaughter.

As the years passed, there was less and less news about her daughter. People sent to Beijing to inquire about her were either driven away or never returned.

There was no peace at home these days. He had always wanted to find time to arrange for someone to go to the capital again, but there had never been a suitable opportunity.

did not expect……

"Where are the people?"

General Xiao suddenly realized that something was wrong. His granddaughter came to Fengcheng alone with a jade plaque. Could something have happened to her daughter?

"Still outside the gate."

The rules of the Xiao Mansion are very strict, and no one is allowed to enter without orders.

"Quick, quick, quick! Welcome people into the house quickly!"

After taking another look at his grandson who was still having a fever, General Xiao asked Xiao Yichen to take good care of the child and hurried to the front hall.

After a while, Nie Quan followed the little girl to the Xiao Mansion. He was still in a dazed state until he saw General Xiao himself.

General Xiao saw Su Qingtian's pretty little face at a glance. His daughter was just as cute and well-behaved as this girl when she was a child. He immediately recognized his granddaughter without any further questions.

When he saw the empty and thin body under the wide sleeves, the old general felt extremely distressed and quickly called for a table to eat.

The old man stroked the little girl's furry head while talking to Nie Quan. Only then did he realize that the little baby had been abducted from the capital to Linxian County and had to be rescued before he was almost sold.

The magistrate of Linxian County was also a kind person and arranged for Nie Quan to escort his granddaughter to Fengcheng to find him.

Taking another sip of hot soup, Su Qingtian had a comfortable meal and suddenly felt like she was alive.

She leaned on the chair and looked up at the two people who were chatting happily. Her eyes fell on General Xiao and she began to look at him slowly.

The white-haired old man was full of righteousness, with a short and thick beard covering most of his face. His battle-hardened eyes were piercing, and he could look murderous at just one glance.

Su Qing nodded sweetly. Fortunately, the old man had such a body of righteousness to protect him, otherwise the filthy energy around him would have swallowed him up long ago, and he would have died inexplicably in the end.

"Xiao Qingtian, are you full?"

Mr. Xiao asked the little girl softly, as if he was afraid that his always harsh voice would scare the weak little girl.

His slightly cloudy eyes were full of careful exploration, and his natural bloodline made his eyes filled with infinite care.

This child has never seen him since he was born. Mr. Xiao is afraid that the child will be shocked by the murderous atmosphere in this house and have difficulty adapting to him, so he will be separated from him.

His eyes fell on the wrist exposed by Su Qingtian's sleeves. It was pale and slender with small wounds on it.

Mr. Xiao lamented in his heart. He didn't know for a moment whether he should thank the kidnapper for bringing the baby to him, or whether he should angrily rebuke those unscrupulous bastards.

"Do you like the food? Would you like grandpa to ask the kitchen to make some snacks for you?"

I have been busy discussing with Nie Quan, and I haven't paid much attention to how well the baby is eating. As a grandpa, I feel very sad. Apart from stuffing some delicious food, I don't know how to get along with him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the little girl in front of him smiled sweetly, her big clear eyes showed an expectant look, and she nodded heavily.

Seeing his granddaughter's eyes narrowed like crescent moons, Mr. Xiao couldn't help but chuckle twice, and quickly ordered someone to make some sweets that children like to eat and bring them to her.

Smiling, Mr. Xiao now felt a rare sense of relief in recent times. With the constant affairs at home and the affairs in the military, he had not laughed so freely for a long time.

Seeing that the two recognized each other smoothly, Nie Quan let go of his worries, and the atmosphere in the room was just right for a while.

Suddenly, a burst of sprinting came towards the house from far to near, and a man was seen breaking open the door in a hurry. Seeing Mr. Xiao, he immediately stepped forward.

The person who came was probably in his early forties, wearing dark gray plain silk clothes, and did not have any weapons on him. Although he looked anxious, he exuded a soldier's chilling air.

It seems that this person should be a soldier in the army and very close to the Xiao family.

"General."

The man stood in front of Mr. Xiao, clasping his fists and saluting. He glanced at Su Qingtian from the corner of his eye, and hesitated to speak, "Young Master, please come. I'm afraid, Young Master..."

The smile instantly froze on Mr. Xiao's face, and he felt a buzz in his head, and his whole body fell into great sorrow.

I originally thought that God would send me a sweet granddaughter, which should be a sign of joy that the Xiao family would finally have a good fortune, but I didn't expect that it still couldn't change the fate of losing their grandson.

He didn't believe in fate. As a man who had been on the battlefield for most of his life, he only believed in the sword in his hand and the partners around him. Fate could not determine the outcome of a battle.

But now...

At that time, the Imperial Master made a strong statement in the main hall, saying that the Xiao family was a disaster star who had come to the world. His Majesty did not investigate the truth and only accepted destiny, so he expelled the Xiao family from the capital.

For so many years, I have worked diligently to guard the border and carefully teach my children to lead the army in battles, all in order to break the theory of disaster stars.

However, the children in the family were repeatedly injured and fell ill for no apparent reason. Now, not to mention the death of one of the family members, even the youngest grandson could not escape the bad luck.

When he thought of his dying grandson, the old man's hard-working faith began to collapse.
