Chapter 305: Who did he offend?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xiao Yuanshi came back to his senses. When he heard Mother Xiao’s words, he felt uncomfortable.
He did not think that a village woman could really write well.
Thus, he took a look at it. Instantly, he felt a slight pain on his face.
Her small regular script was indeed not bad.
Even though he found it difficult to accept, he had to admit that Mdm Kong’s handwriting was actually more beautiful than Ge Chunru’s.!!
This made him change his view of Mdm Kong once again.
Could it be that he had really dragged her down all those years?
Mother Xiao saw that Xiao Yuanshi was engrossed in her writing, so she asked, “Do you want to go back and practice writing as soon as possible?”
Xiao Yuanshi thought to himself, a man who follows a book will always be criticized.
He now had a deep understanding of this.
How did Mdm Kong become so difficult to handle?
The key was that although he was a little angry, he did not hate her.
Instead, he felt that she was very lively and interesting…
At this moment, Liang Yulin stood up and walked over.
He looked at what Xiao Yuanshi had written and then looked at what Mdm Kong had written.
Xiao Yuanshi’s handwriting was actually not ugly, but the imitations were too heavy. It did not have his own style and feel.
On the other hand, although Mdm Kong’s handwriting was not really good-looking, it was not ugly either.
The main point was that one could see that she was working very hard to practice her calligraphy.
One could also see some alterations in her own style.
If one were to compare them, then Mdm Kong’s one was truly superior.
He said truthfully, “General Xiao, it’s better for you to calm your heart down and practice your calligraphy for the next three months.”
From his point of view, using the word “General” to describe Xiao Yuanshi was really too flattering.
Xiao Yuanshi asked himself, what happened to this refined and elegant sickly prince? Why is he so annoying?
Shi Qingluo also came over. “Tsk tsk, General Xiao’s handwriting isn’t as good as my mother-in-law’s after she learnt it for nearly a year.
“Even though you were also born from a village family, why didn’t you learn how to practice calligraphy these few years? Did you spend all your time at the back residence?”
Xiao Yuanshi’s heart hurt again.
Being born from a village family was the last thing he wanted to talk about.
His daughter-in-law was too vicious.
She liked to poke at other people’s sore spots.
After mocking Xiao Yuanshi, Shi Qingluo even waved at Xiao Hanzheng. “Hubby, come, come. Write a few words for my ex-father-in-law to see whar is calligraphy.”
Xiao Hanzheng really stood up and walked over.
He lifted his brush and copied the words written by Xiao Yuanshi, imitating the font of his words.
After he finished writing, he cupped his hands to Xiao Yuanshi and said, “Thank you, General Xiao!”
Xiao Yuanshi asked himself, where am I? What’s my name?
Damn it, this was going too far!
However, when he saw that Xiao Hanzheng had a strong character and could not find any words that he could pick on, he was immediately rendered speechless.
Compared to Mdm Kong, he did not think that his handwriting was ugly.
After all, he had practiced his handwriting when he was free all these years.
He did not think that his handwriting was ugly.
But now, when he compared it with Xiao Hanzheng’s, it was still imitating his handwriting. The contrast was too stark.
It almost made him feel ashamed.
This son of his was really too despicable. He did not deserve to be a son.
No wonder he would pair up with a mischievous girl like Shi Qingluo. It seemed that he was not a good person to begin with.
At this moment, Liang Yulin even added, “Young master Xiao’s handwriting is really good. With this comparison, I can’t even look at General Xiao’s handwriting.”
Then, he said apologetically to Xiao Yuanshi, “General Xiao, I like to tell the truth. Please don’t take it to heart!”
Even though he was saying it apologetically, the expression on his face was not like this.
The veins on Xiao Yuanshi’s forehead bulged. He was completely furious. “I don’t dare.”
If he were anyone else here today, he would have long since lost his temper and left.
However, Liang Yulin was the emperor’s most trusted younger brother.
He could even be considered the most powerful prince in Daliang. He did not dare to offend him.
“Since that’s the case, I will go back and practice calligraphy now.”
Xiao Yuanshi really could not stay any longer.
Otherwise, he would go crazy.
Coincidentally, he wanted to use this matter to leave.
Shi Qingluo said, “Ex-father-in-law, since you are already here, why don’t we have dinner together?
“Although you may not be able to eat anymore, you can still try the delicious mutton.”
Xiao Yuanshi remained silent.
He was so angry that he was full.
What was there to eat?
Furthermore, don’t think that he could not tell that this wretched girl was teasing him because he could not eat his ugly food.
“There’s no need. I only came after having dinner.” He did not want to continue being bullied.
Shi Qingluo had a regretful look on her face. “Is that so? Initially, I really wanted to invite you for a meal.”
While he was at it, he would continue to make fun of her.
After all, today was a good opportunity to do so.
With the VIP , Prince Yi, here, no matter what they said, no matter how angry his scumbag father was, he could only swallow it.
Xiao Yuanshi put on a fake smile and said, “Thank you very much.”
He did not know that this wretched girl wanted to use the meal to mock him, so he did not fall for her trick.
After saying that, he could not wait to raise his hand and leave. “Then I’ll take my leave first!”
Shi Qingluo would not let him go so easily.
“Don’t do that. It’s fine my ex-father-in-law doesn’t eat, but did you forget someone else?”
Xiao Yuanshi was a little confused. “What?”
Shi Qingluo pointed at Xiao Erlang. “Didn’t you say that you were going to make it up to Erlang?”
Then, he looked at Xiao Yuanshi with a look that said, “Why are you so dishonest?”
Xiao Yuanshi wanted to go crazy.
When did I say that?
Why didn’t I know?
Mother Xiao also said, “That’s right. After you made it up to me, did you forget about Erlang? I knew you were lying.”
It was rare for Liang Yulin to be so playful. “I also heard that just now.”
Xiao Yuanshi was speechless.
Who did he offend?
Not only did he regret coming over, but he also regretted taking the initiative to meet Mdm Kong and Xiao Baili in the forest during the day.
“I was thinking of going back to practice calligraphy, but I forgot about it.”
Under Prince Yi’s meaningful smile, he braced himself and looked at Xiao Erlang and asked, “Erlang, what do you want?”
Xiao Erlang was still as obedient and sensible as before, but his thoughts had changed.
“General Xiao, when you return to the capital, can I return to the general’s residence with you as a guest?”
At that time, he would still be disgusted to death by that ex-concubine.
The main reason was that he had not thought of what he wanted yet, so he had to think about it.
After that, he followed his scumbag father back to the general’s residence.
Not only could he find fault with the general’s residence, but he could also find fault with her.
When he went out to buy things or cause trouble, he could also use the catchphrase “My ex-father is Xiao Yuanshi”.
Just thinking about it was exciting. His sister-in-law still knew the game well.
He could have waited a little longer, but his scumbag father was going to the northern border in three months’ time.
Xiao Yuanshi should have been pleasantly surprised when he saw his youngest son taking the initiative to request to go to the general’s residence.
However, for some reason, he felt a chill down his spine.
Yet, he really wanted to bring his son over and groom him himself.
Since his younger son had taken the initiative, he naturally would not let it go.
His eyes were filled with amiability. “Of course.
“When I return to the capital, I will send someone to pick you up.”
He originally wanted to say that he would come personally to pick you up, but he immediately switched to sending someone to pick him up.
He really didn’t want to face Shi Qingluo and the others anymore.
It was difficult for him to fight against four people at once.
If he came personally, he would probably be angered by them and might even spit blood.
Xiao Erlang’s eyes lit up. “Alright, it’s a deal then!”
