Yuan Xi and Zhen Mi had a hard time changing their clothes before rushing to the General's Mansion.
By the time the two of them arrived at the General's manor, it was already almost past Si, which was close to 11 o'clock in the afternoon.
He had come to greet her in the morning, but it was almost lunchtime. Even the usually big-hearted Yuan Xi knew that he had indeed come too late this time.
Yuan Xi couldn't help but worry about the perverted emphasis on etiquette these days, especially the vicious woman Liu-shi. Would she take the opportunity to hit him when he was down and criticize him and his wife?
Zhen Mi was also very nervous. Her small hands tightly tugged at Yuan Xi's clothes as she followed closely behind Yuan Xi.
"Don't say anything when you go in. I'll handle everything, understand?”
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhen Mi nodded like a chick pecking at rice. Yuan Xi was her backbone now.
Walking up the steps of the main hall, before entering the door, Yuan Xi saw Yuan Shao and Liu-shi sitting on the main seat with unhappy expressions. His heart couldn't help sinking. It was likely that Liu-shi had fanning the flames before he came.
This was the bad thing about being a stepmother. If Yuan Xi's biological mother was here, she would have come out to welcome Zhen Mi with a smile and pulled her into the hall.
No matter how unhappy Yuan Shao was, he could just pretend to be a little late.
However, it was different now. Any small problem would be infinitely magnified in Liu-shi's mouth. Usually, she would want to kill Yuan Xi, not to mention that she was still in the right now. She would definitely not forgive him.
Therefore, Yuan Xi didn't give Liu-shi a chance to speak. He didn't plan to enter the palace at all when he arrived at the door. He exerted some strength in his arm and pulled Zhen Mi, who was standing beside him, to kneel down and bow,"
"This child is unfilial! Yesterday, I drank too much with the guests, so I couldn't come to greet the two elders on time due to my hangover. All the sins are my fault, but I've implicated you. I hope that my parents won't be angry. It's bad for your health. I'll feel sorry for you.”
Yuan Xi knew that since he had made a mistake, he must not try to quibble. That would only increase the disgust of others. Moreover, there was Liu-shi, who would not give him a chance to quibble.
Therefore, admitting one's mistake openly was the best way to deal with it, and also the easiest way to obtain forgiveness.
However, one had to be skillful in speaking. First, they had to point out the reason for being late. It was normal for people to wake up late because they were getting married and drinking with the guests.
Secondly, he had to be responsible. He couldn't push the blame to Zhen Mi, which would make him look unmanly.
The reason why Yuan Xi was so cowardly was because of Zhen Mi.
It had to be said that after marrying Zhen Mi, even though the time they spent together was short, their relationship was like glue. Zhen Mi had become Yuan Xi's absolute weakness.
Yuan Xi had long understood Liu-shi's vicious nature from the memories of her main body. Yuan Xi was also worried that Liu-shi would take advantage of Zhen Mi and humiliate her, so he directly knelt down.
Seeing that Yuan Xi had taken all the blame, Zhen Mi couldn't help but feel anxious. She was obviously the one who was lazy in bed and didn't want to get up, so she wanted to explain and share some of Yuan Xi's burden.
However, Yuan Xi, who had expected this, grabbed his arm tightly and roared in a low voice,"Shut up!"
Without waiting for Yuan Shao and Liu-shi to say anything, Yuan Xi began to kneel on the ground and kowtow.
"Bang bang bang!"
Yuan Xi's actions greatly exceeded the two's expectations, but immediately afterwards Liu-shi's expression became ugly, understanding Yuan Xi's intentions.
"Humph! What were you doing earlier? If he didn't have any manners when he just got married, how could he be powerful in the future? When we are old, can we still count on them? Wouldn't they be ordering us around?"
Liu-shi was afraid that Yuan Shao would let the matter rest. It was not easy to seize such a good opportunity. How could she hold it high and relax? That would be too much of a loss.
But although Liu-shi's words entered Yuan Shao's ears, the sound of Yuan Xi kowtowing entered Yuan Shao's ears even more.
People had compassion for strangers, let alone their own son. How could they not have the feeling of licking a calf?
Liu-shi was not Yuan Xi's biological mother, but Yuan Shao was Yuan Xi's biological father!
Moreover, it was not a big deal to begin with. What else could Yuan Xi do if he admitted his mistake so sincerely? Could he stab Yuan Xi to death?
Therefore, not only did Liu-shi's fanning the flames not have any effect, but it also made Yuan Shao very irritated and had a negative effect.
"Bastard!" Yuan Shao slammed the table and cursed.
"Yes! Bastard! Get in here!" Liu-shi thought that her words had worked.
"Bastard, I'm talking to you!"
Only then did Liu-shi react. Yuan Shao was actually scolding her, and her face was filled with disbelief.
"You vicious woman! Although Xianyi is not your biological child and I don't ask you to treat him well, you don't have to make things difficult for your child, do you?!”Yuan Shao glared and cursed.
"Do you think I don't know Xianyi? Filial piety to your parents, respect for your brothers, have you ever had any opinions about you all these years?”
"Look at you. The child is just a newlywed and drunk. He came a little late, and you took the opportunity to cause trouble. Do you want me to order Xianyi to be executed before you are satisfied?! Wouldn't you be even happier if you killed Boss along the way?!”
Yuan Shao's roar resounded throughout the empty hall.
Yuan Xi, who was lying on the ground with his head lowered, heard the curses coming from the hall and sneered.
