The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 518 What Does Little Treasure's Father Eat (7)
Mrs. Xiao also quickly put away the regrets in his heart, showed a happy smile and said: "You are right, you are right, today is a day to be happy, let's not talk about that. Come and sit down! I have been looking forward to it for so many years, Today, I finally got my wish to be able to sit down and have a meal with my family!"

After everyone heard the words, they quickly took their seats according to their seniority. Mrs. Xiao looked around at the people at the dinner table and nodded happily, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Boss, are there fewer people?" Old Master Xiao asked his son beside him slightly.

Master Xiao glanced quickly and then replied in a low voice: "Father, there are so many people, did you miss it?"

Everything that should be there is there, where are there few people?
Old Mr. Xiao took another look and shook his head: "No, I think there are few people, please take a closer look."

The muttering between the two caught Madam Xiao's attention and she couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

Master Xiao said in a low voice: "Father said that someone seems to be missing, but I don't think anyone is missing, can you see if that's the case?"

Mrs. Xiao frowned slightly, and slowly scanned the people on the dinner table with a lot of traces in her eyes. At first, she didn't feel that anyone was missing, but when she looked again, she saw something wrong, and then she remembered something. It's very important, and I couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

Sitting next to her, Xiao Nianxun asked with concern: "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

"Nian Xun, why didn't you see Xiaoxi's husband-in-law? I just remembered that I haven't seen Xiaoxi's husband-in-law these days. Didn't he come with him?" Mrs. Xiao didn't know what was going on. The reason, I didn't see anyone at the moment, so I asked straightforwardly.

Only then did Master Xiao and Old Master Xiao realize that the young man is Xiaoxi's husband-in-law!

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao thought inwardly that it was terrible, he thought he could get away with it, who knew that mother would ask such a question here, what should I do now?
The complexions of Xiao Nianxun and Mu Ankang suddenly changed, and they both lowered their heads.

Mu Jinxi frowned, and looked at Xiao Xiao in confusion, Xiao Xiao shook his head lightly, and Mu Jinxi frowned even tighter.The actions of the two were seen by Xiao Yu, and he was more sure that they had something to hide from their family members. Could it be related to Xiaoxi's husband-in-law?

After thinking about it, Mu Jinxi smiled and said: "Grandfather, uncle, aunt, let's not talk about this for now, I will tell everyone after we finish breakfast, since he is not here, there is no need to pester this person any more. I'm already hungry, I didn't have a good meal on the way to the capital, and you all gave me some light food these days, my mouth is so dull."

"Great-grandfather, can we have dinner? Xiaobao is hungry." Fortunately, at this time, Xiaobao touched his stomach and said.

Seeing that the baby's great-grandson said that he was hungry, Mrs. Xiao had no choice but to temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart, and then announced that it was time to eat.

The members of the Xiao family also knew about the Mu family's situation, so they didn't ask too many questions about these issues. Instead, they picked some happy topics. Even with rice, it was extremely lively. This was the first time in the Xiao family that so many people had dinner together in so many years.

While eating her meal, Mu Jinxi was thinking about what she would say if her grandfather and the others asked about Xiaobao's father. Of course it would be best to tell the truth, but she was worried that if she said so , Grandpa didn't know what it would be like to feel guilty and blame himself.But it would be too troublesome to tell a lie, and it was not safe. To tell a lie would require countless lies, and the lie would always be exposed one day, and the blow to my grandfather might be even greater.
