In troubled times, the daughter-in-law returns

Chapter 155 Insults
Sikong Ye said lightly: "I understand what father means, but I wonder if father understands what I mean?"

The old city lord frowned, "Aye, you have to know that once the Sikong family turns against the water collectively, Yecheng will definitely be lost."

Sikong Ye laughed, "Father, did you misunderstand me?"

The old city lord suddenly became angry, and flicked his sleeves, "I think you are fascinated by Xiao Yunqing, that vixen, and you don't know what reason is!"

Sikong Ye's expression darkened instantly, "Father, please be careful with your words!"

The old city lord sneered, "What? You're angry now? Am I wrong? Who in Yecheng doesn't know that the woman you raised in Jinxiudui and now in Liuyuan is a vixen?
"You don't even want your own life for her. Don't you remember that you have parents and you are the only son of your parents! You still carry the whole city of Ye on your shoulders?

"For a mere vixen, you don't care about anything! Ah Ye, you... really let me down!"

Sikong Ye pursed his lips forcefully, his eyes were slightly sullen, "Father, I repeat, please don't insult her! She has never harmed anyone! Foolish men and women talk nonsense, so father also wants to follow the crowd?

"Whatever I want to do, I come from my heart. If I don't want to, no one can influence my decision! So what's called 'confuse' is just nonsense!"

The old city lord gritted his teeth angrily, "So, you want to go your own way?"

"The decision I made will never change." Sikong Ye replied in a deep voice.

The old city lord's hands under his sleeves trembled slightly, and he managed to control the urge to slap across the face.

The air in the study seemed to be stagnant.

After a while, the old city lord said: "Are you determined not to let her go, and also determined to be with that woman?"

"Yes." Sikong Ye answered without hesitation.

The old city lord narrowed his eyes, "Do you not want Yecheng anymore?"

Sikong Ye smiled faintly, "Father, you have finally expressed your true thoughts? In fact, you never thought of letting me give it all up so early, did you? Even my ability, let alone being in charge of a city of Ye, is in charge of Ten or eight Ye cities are more than enough!"

The old city lord's face was very ugly, "Don't think about it!"

"What father said in person, how could it be said that I was imagining wild things?" Sikong Ye casually flipped through the table a few times, found some materials, and threw them on the table, "Father, what is this? There are also secrets that I cannot touch. What does this mean? There are 60 troops hidden in Yecheng, where are they and what are they going to do? How did I know?"

The old city lord was a bit afraid to look at Sikong Ye, because what Sikong Ye said was right, he had indeed hidden many things from him, "Aye, don't think too much, I didn't do this to guard against you."

"It's not important," Sikong Ye leaned back slightly, leaning on the chair, "Father, the difference between you and me is not a general contradiction, but a fundamental difference in concept. You advocate the legacy of raising tigers, but I advocate that the strong man cuts off his wrists.

"The so-called differences do not conspire with each other. Father, I think it's better for you to take back the management rights of Yecheng."

The old city lord "suddenly" stood up, "Are you determined to fight me to the end?"

"No," Sikong Ye shook his head, "Father, we have had differences for a long time, but this time it happened because of these two incidents. This is also good, it's not a wake-up call for father, Let father think carefully about how to choose in the future?"

The old city lord walked away in a huff, his originally tall and straight back seemed a little bent.

Sikong Ye pursed his lips vigorously, his face remained unchanged.

He is the old son of his parents, the wife of the city owner was almost 40 years old when she gave birth to him, and the old city owner was just forty that year.So the old city owner and his wife are now over 60 years old.

It is said that "people are old and treacherous and slippery". In fact, although people grow older and more experienced, they will become more tactful in dealing with things, but on the other hand, they will also lose their determination to forge ahead. It is hard to say that such a Change is good or bad.

But in his opinion, the Sikong family has become a shackle that shackles the development of the City Lord's Mansion. If the situation is not opened in time, Yecheng will fall into internal struggle sooner or later.

Everyone in the current Sikong family is greedy for profit, even if they are all powerful horses, it is useless if they can't use their energy alone.

Not to mention, the current Sikong family has long been mixed with good and bad.

He simply put down his official duties, since no matter how many things he does, his father thinks that he is fascinated by women and not doing his job properly, why should he bear the false name in vain?

So after giving Gu An a few words, he got up and went to Liuyuan.

After An Ran and Su Yi got married, Xiao Yunqing was the only one left in Liuyuan. She was not idle every day. Apart from practicing kung fu, she was studying whether there were any loopholes in the city of death.

When Sikong Ye came, she had just finished practicing, her face was dyed pink, the broken hair on her forehead was already wet with sweat, and her breathing was a little unsteady, so she couldn't help but took a dry cloth towel and covered her head , rubbed her gently, hugged her and walked in, "It's windy, don't catch cold."

Xiao Yunqing curled his lips: "How can I be so delicate?" But he didn't reject his kindness.

After entering the house, he went to wash briefly, changed his clothes and came out, "Why are you here at this time?" Normally, he was in the City Lord's Mansion to handle official business at this time, so he would not come here.

"I want to ask you something." Sikong Ye looked at her quietly, "If I can't give you a proper marriage, what will you do?"

Xiao Yunqing's hand wiping his hair paused slightly, "Why did you say that?" Then he figured it out, "The person who came to kill me in the past few days was probably sent by your father?"

Sikong Ye nodded lightly, now he is about to tear himself apart from his father, there is no need to hide it for him.

Xiao Yunqing sneered slightly.In the past, the old city lord once said that the city lord was in line with the An Dinghou Mansion's love and will last forever, and he also announced in a high-sounding manner that he would investigate the truth about the extermination of the family.

But after many years, everything has been empty talk.He clearly knew that he was the only descendant of the Xiao Clan, so he never thought of seeing him differently...

Oh, it's not right to say that, it should be too different, otherwise, it wouldn't be so troublesome to let people come to assassinate.

Sikong Ye reached out and took her hand, "How do you choose?"

"You will give up on me?" Xiao Yunqing asked back, but his brows were full of confidence.

Sikong Ye slowly shook his head, "Of course not."

"Isn't this the end?" Xiao Yunqing spread his hands, "I want to spend the rest of my life with you, not with your parents."
