Chapter 508 Mrs. Xiao: Dad, Do You Still Want Your Daughter to Live?

Hearing this, Madam Xiao immediately blushed and dodged. Although she was no longer a young girl, any woman would feel ashamed to hear such a thing, which was said by her father.

She was not only touched by Chen Mo, but her whole body was played with by him.

Mrs. Xiao bit her pink lips lightly with her pearly teeth and said shyly: "Dad, why are you asking this?"

Seeing his daughter's reaction, Father Xiao already had the answer in his heart, but still said: "This matter is very important and is related to the future of our Xiao family."

At present, the Xiao family has surrendered to Chen Mo. If Madam Xiao was touched by Chen Mo, Father Xiao can rely on this to gain a foothold in Chen Mo's territory.

"Dad, what are you going to do?" Madam Xiao's face changed, and she obviously guessed something.

Father Xiao did not speak, but nodded.

That's right, if Madam Xiao was touched by Chen Mo, then Father Xiao would spread the news after arriving in Huaizhou.

Chen Mo is the ruler of four states, and his daughter had had sex with him. Even if they were not officially recognized, the forces in Huaizhou had to respect the Xiao family.

This is just a pretext.

Of course, this practice greatly damages Mrs. Xiao's reputation.

However, for Xiao's father, as long as it is beneficial to the family, sacrificing a woman's reputation is nothing, even if it is his own daughter.

"Dad, do you still want your daughter to live?" Mrs. Xiao was quite ashamed and angry, but she lowered her voice again for fear of being heard by the clan members.

Although she was captured by Chen Jun, there were many rumors that she was played by Chen Mo, but those rumors were just groundless and had not been confirmed.

But if the Xiao family admitted it, the meaning would be different.

"Dad can't help it. You have to think about the future of the family. And Dad is doing this for your own good. Maybe after the news spreads, Pingting Marquis Mansion will let you in for the sake of face. Even if you can't get in, it's good to be a concubine. Besides, your second uncle was captured by Chen Jun before, and I don't know what the situation is now." Xiao's father said.

"Then you are not afraid of angering him." Mrs. Xiao said.

"Even if he is angry, it's not a crime punishable by death. Besides, my Xiao family has also made contributions in this Yi County War. If you really want to blame, it will be at most a little worse than the current situation. You can bet." Xiao's father said.

Mrs. Xiao: "..."

Fengzhou.

When Madam Hui and Madam Gan learned that Madam Xiao disappeared because she was taken away by the Xiao family to join Chen Mo, they opened their mouths slightly.

Because the three ladies had competed for the position of the prince before, their relationship was not good, and they were all insincere.

After learning about this, Madam Hui even cursed Madam Xiao in her heart for being undisciplined and a slut.

But as she cursed in her heart, she couldn't help but feel a little envious and jealous.

There was no other reason, just seeing that Madam Xiao, who was inferior to him, could escape from the sea of ​​suffering and fly out of the cage, while he was imprisoned here.

Well, since he learned that Li Mingfan and Li Mingzhong had rebelled, King Huai no longer trusted the Li family and took measures to imprison Madam Hui in the mansion, not allowing outsiders to meet her.

In Madam Hui's heart, she felt that Madam Xiao and Madam Gan were inferior to her and could not compare to her.

Madam Gan was also envious and even a little regretful.

After her son was made the crown prince, the Gan family and King Huai were tied too tightly. Even if the Gan family wanted to join the Chen army, the latter would not trust them.

Thinking that Madam Xiao had gone to Huaizhou, the war in the north had been settled, and that person would be back soon, and Madam Xiao could meet that person again

This made Madam Gan think of the time in Wuguan, and her face became hot.

She actually thought about it too.

After a while, she secretly spit at herself and muttered in her heart that she was really shameless.

A few days later.

Linzhou, Tongque Garden.

"If the enemy can go, I can go too."

In the side room, Princess Zhaoqing looked at the military report in her hand, and she couldn't help feeling excited and a little proud.

Although she didn't like fighting and killing, she was still patriotic, and she had respect for those who defended their country.

Her opinion of Chen Mo had changed a lot.

Xiao Yunxi was roasting charcoal fire, and when she saw the change in Princess Zhaoqing's face, she raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I received news that he is on his way back."

Princess Zhaoqing's body trembled slightly, knowing what Xiao Yunxi meant by this.

On the other side, Pingting Marquis Mansion.

In the warm room in the backyard.

Wu Mi, wearing a loose jacket and skirt, sat crookedly on the soft couch, chatting with her sisters in the mansion. Since entering December, her body has become heavier and more inconvenient to move.

But her figure has become more and more charming and plump, revealing a bit of the breath of a mature woman.

She held a golden silk book in her hands. This was the imperial edict sent to the mansion today. Because Chen Mo had made great contributions in expelling foreign enemies and recovering the north, the emperor conferred the title of Duke of Anguo on Chen Mo, a first-class duke.

In addition to the promotion of the title, there was also the honor of entering the court without bowing and entering the palace with swords and shoes.

"After all, my husband's contribution is great. This time, in addition to the imperial edict, the court is willing to give some agate and jade." Nangong Ru looked at the agate bracelet on her wrist and liked it very much.

"Isn't it? It's still some top-quality jade. The price on the market is not cheap." Ning Wan held a piece of jade. The Ning family made a fortune as a merchant, so Ning Wan naturally knew that the variety of this jade was very good.

"These agates and jades were not given by the court because of my husband's great contributions." Xia Zhiqing ended her conversation with Han Anniang and interrupted, saying, "I heard that the court is attacking Xiliang."

"Xiliang, isn't that our ally?" Yi Shiyan asked curiously.

"It is precisely because of the alliance that the court gave these agates and jades." Xia Zhiqing said.

"Sister Zhiqing is right. These jades sent are all from Xiliang." Wu Mi took a look and said.

"???"

Yi Shiyan said that she didn't understand it very well.

Han Anniang was the same.

It was not until Wu Mi said that these jades and agates were equivalent to an apology and compensation that the two women understood a little.

"Where is sister Juan'er?" At this time, Liang Xue, who rarely spoke, looked around and said.

"She seems to be in a bad mood. She stayed in her room all day and didn't go out." Yi Shiyan said.

"In a bad mood?" Han Anniang was stunned: "What's wrong with her?"

"In the morning, the supervisory guards of Huaizhou sent news that our army defeated the Huai Army in Yi County, beheaded the Huai Army general Chu Ce, and captured many deputy generals of the Huai Army." Xia Zhiqing said.

As soon as these words came out, the warm room suddenly became quiet. After a while, everyone talked about other topics.

Even Han Anniang understood at this moment that after the defeat of the Huai Army, the Huai King was at the end of his rope.

After all, the Huai King was Chu Juan's father.

When she thought about her father's future situation, it was not optimistic. It would be strange if he could get better.
