Chapter 244: Return My Child

Translator: Vesper

Xiao Yi Lin saw Qing Xue, whose face did not look that good, and his brows furrowed but he did not say anything.

In the eyes of other people, Duke Xiao was indeed that aloof figure, but in the eyes of everyone from the Great General’s residence, he was only a person who harmed their master. Therefore, why would they wear a good expression on their faces towards him?

It must be said that Xiao Yi Lin’s guess was correct. Qing Xue and the others really disliked Xiao Yi Lin, even to the point of detesting him.

Suppressing the fire in his heart, Xiao Yi Lin followed behind Qing Xue as they moved together towards the courtyard. When they arrived, the expressions worn on the faces of the pair of husband and wife did not look good.

“Does Duke Xiao have something to discuss?”

“Yes.”

“If you came to ask us to convince Tong Bao Zhai to stop, don’t bother.” Qiao Tian Chang did not give Xiao Yi Lin the chance to speak and unceremoniously spoke his mind.

Xiao Yi Lin’s face changed and his brows knitted. He looked at them, not being able to understand: “This... Why?”

“Why? Those secret soldiers are people from the Xiao Residence, right? Moreover, they’re the people that you, Duke Xiao, dispatched yourself. Asking me why now, don’t you think that is hypocritical of you?” Qiao Tian Chang did not give Xiao Yi Lin any face and bluntly spoke out.

This matter was indeed Xiao Yi Lin’s fault. He could not refute and could only frown: “This matter is indeed my fault, what must we do to appease your anger?”

“Return our child to us.” Ning Meng Yao, who had remained silent until now, suddenly opened her mouth.

As long as they gave her child back to her, she could stop everything at once, but if they couldn’t meet her demands, then there was nothing more to be said.

Xiao Yi Lin choked, he could not say anything. They want him to return their child back to her? How could he return the child? That child was already gone. Did they want him to stuff a child into her?

“General Qiao, doesn’t it seem that you guys are somewhat..... asking for the impossible.”

“Hehe, asking for the impossible? I feel that this is as it should be.” Qiao Tian Chang did not feel that there was something wrong with what they wanted, but instead felt that this was how things should be done.

Xiao Yi Lin knitted his brows. Seeing this pair of husband and wife, he experienced a headache.

“Other than this, I will do anything for you.” Xiao Yi Lin gritted his teeth.

Ning Meng Yao looked down on Xiao Yi Lin in despise: “Now, we have the money and power, so what possible can you give to us?” Anyone could say big words, but it was simply words at the tip of their tongue.

Treasures? She had a lot, would she want his little collection? Was he not ashamed of making a fool of himself?

Xiao Yi Lin almost spat out blood. He did not think that the pair, Ning Meng Yao and Qiao Tian Chang, would not let him off even a bit.

“Duke Xiao, don’t feel that we are being excessive. This was brought upon by yourself.” Qiao Tian Chang spoke without reservation.

They had never provoked them before, but because of Xiao Zi Xuan, they sent people to kill them. And here they were now, begging them. Was there a situation more ridiculous than this?

“This.....” Xiao Yi Lin was speechless and at a loss for words.

This was his fault indeed, no doubt.

“Duke Xiao, we can also give lip service pleasant to the ears. You say you can us what we want? We only want our child, are you able to deliver?” Qiao Tian Chang ignored Xiao Yi Lin’s unsightly face and directly opened his mouth to ask.

“This..... General Qiao, this matter is all my fault, but is punishing Ming’er not enough?” Because of this, he had already lost a son, was this still not enough to appease the hatred in their hearts?

Hearing his words caused Qiao Tian Chang to laugh out loud: “Enough? Are you saying that Xiao Ming Ren’s death is my doing? Did he not embezzle funds amounting to millions of silver which was meant for disaster relief?”

“You.....”

If it weren’t because of this, how could Xiao Ming Ren’s matter be brought to light? Although the execution was indeed caused by Qiao Tian Chang, but it was ultimately because Xiao Yi Lin’s son was corrupted that there would be this kind of result.

“Don’t say it as if we had done something unforgivable to you guys. Xiao Ming Ren was simply seeking death on his own, you cannot blame others.” Qiao Tian Chang smiled coldly at Xiao Yi Lin.

Wanting to settle the accounts in front of them? He should clean up the matters of his own family first before talking.

Flies do not bite seamless eggs. Who let the egg known as Xiao Ming Ren crack until this badly?

Ning Meng Yao took a glance at Xiao Yi Lin’s dispirited expression, but did not feel any sympathy: “If there’s nothing else to discuss, Duke Xiao, please leave.”

Their house did not welcome such people.

Xiao Yi Lin glanced at the two of them. Seeing that the two of them did not have any intentions to put up with him, he could only feel helpless about it.

However, one glance rendered Xiao Yi Lin completely stunned. He stared blankly at the back of Ning Meng Yao’s ear with eyes wide open.
