It was counterproductive. This was what Liu Shi had done just now.
It wasn't a big deal to begin with. In Yuan Shao's opinion, this matter could be settled with a little more scolding.
When Yuan Shao saw his son kneeling at the entrance of the hall, sincerely kowtowing and apologizing, the trace of anger in his heart had already dissipated.
But just when Yuan Shao was not angry, Liu-shi spoke up and started to fan the flames. This was somewhat of a motive that could be punished.
As the strongest duke in the world, how could Yuan Shao be a mediocre person who knew nothing?
Moreover, Yuan Shao was originally a child from an aristocratic family's deep residence, and he was also the son of a concubine. In his early years, he was also used to the coldness and coldness of the family. He was deeply harmed by it.
Liu-shi deliberately grabbed Yuan Xi's mistake, how could Yuan Shao not understand what she meant?
In his early years, because his mother was born in a low background, Yuan Shao had suffered this kind of grievance many times.
Now that he saw his own child being forced to kowtow and admit his mistake because of such a small mistake, he could not help but feel sad when he thought of his deceased wife who had passed away in his early years and the looks he had received in the mansion when he was young.
Seeing Yuan Shao fly into a rage, Liu-shi was also frightened out of her wits. For so many years, although she had repeatedly targeted Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, Yuan Shao had always been indifferent to this and had never said anything.
She didn't expect that today, because of such a small matter, she would fly into a rage. It was also greatly beyond Liu-shi's expectations.
Seeing Yuan Shao crazily attacking Liu-shi, Yuan Xi also felt waves of pleasure in his heart. Seeing that the fire was about right, Yuan Xi knew that it was time for him to go in and stop the fight.
Why did he have to stop the fight? This was because he had to use this good opportunity to completely establish his character.
Yuan Xi's character was filial. How could a filial son watch his parents quarrel and be indifferent?
Yuan Shao's face turned red and his neck was thick from scolding, and he was panting heavily. Yuan Xi quickly ran over to Yuan Shao's side.
"Don't scold me anymore, Old Weng. Don't be angry for your son and mother. It's bad for your health to be angry. You're old, so don't be so angry.”
Not only did Yuan Xi not comfort her in a soft voice, but his tone was rather heavy, and there was even a hint of anxiety and resentment.
It was like a child at home complaining about an old man. This was the only way to express his true feelings.
As expected, when Yuan Shao heard Yuan Xi's complaints, not only did he not get angry, but he actually enjoyed it quite a bit. With Yuan Xi's support, he sat back down on the chair.
Yuan Xi stroked Yuan Shao's chest to calm him down while giving Zhen Mi a look.
Zhen Mi also had a sharp mind and understood Yuan Xi's meaning. She immediately poured tea for Yuan Shao and served it to him with both hands.
Yuan Xi also spoke at the right time,"Old Man, my daughter-in-law is pouring tea for you."”
"Hahaha, good children, good children.”Seeing this, Yuan Shao smiled and took the tea. After drinking a mouthful, the gloominess in his chest could not help but lessen a little, and his mood immediately became even better.
Looking at the purple bruises on Yuan Xi's forehead, and then glancing at Liu-shi beside him, Yuan Shao's anger could not be suppressed.”
"Why are you angry again?" Yuan Xi slightly raised his voice, and Yuan Shao became obedient.
"It's all my fault. I made the two elders wait for a whole morning and caused so much trouble.”
Yuan Shao's face revealed a smile of enjoyment as he hastily agreed,"Alright, alright, alright. Father won't be angry anymore.”
[Host's persuasion has been successful. Reward received.]
Yuan Xi's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged as he continued,"
"Mother's teachings are right. I've just started a family and my personality has already become so lazy. If you don't reprimand me as soon as possible and instead spoil me, there will be times when I will suffer in the future.”
"Mother passed away early, and Old Weng was busy with state affairs. If it wasn't for Mother spurring me on like this, I'm afraid I would have been useless long ago. Don't be too harsh on Mother, she's doing this for my own good.”
Yuan Xi began to establish his own character. Not only did he not take the opportunity to make things difficult for Liu-shi, but he also began to plead for Liu-shi.
"Look! Look! What a sensible child! You're so sensible that it makes my heart ache!"
Yuan Shao could not help but pull Yuan Xi's hand, looking at the injury on his forehead, and sighed,""Son, you've suffered all these years.”
Yuan Xi's eyes were also slightly red. He said,"It's not bitter. I'm not bitter. It's just..." It's just that sometimes I miss my mother…"
These words undoubtedly struck the softness in Yuan Shao's heart once again. He hugged Yuan Xi, his palm constantly patting Yuan Xi's back, what a scene of a loving father and filial son.
Yuan Shao was definitely sincere. As for Yuan Xi…His forehead was bruised, so how could his eyes not be red?
His head hit the big blue brick. That thing really hurt!
The father and son of the Yuan family put on a show of fatherly love and filial piety, but Liu-shi was almost angered to death.
First, she failed to fan the flames, and was scolded by Yuan Shao to the point of being drenched in blood. Then, she was hypocritically pleaded for mercy by Yuan Xi. She was so disgusted that she was about to vomit. Then, she saw the harmonious scene between father and son. Liu-shi wished that Yuan Xi would die right now!
Yuan Shao didn't feel that Yuan Xi's plea for mercy was fake, but in Liu-shi's eyes, it was clear as day.
How could she not know how she had treated Yuan Xi all these years?
Thinking from her perspective, under such harsh treatment, it was impossible for Yuan Xi to sincerely plead for mercy for her. The reason why she spoke up to plead for mercy for her just now was completely to win Yuan Shao's sympathy.
Liu-shi's guess was correct, but she could only watch helplessly.
Could it be that he still dared to expose Yuan Xi? Calling Yuan Xi a hypocritical villain?
She was afraid that the moment she said those words, she would be met with Yuan Shao's big mouth, the kind that could slap her to death.
Now disturbing the Yuan father and son's heart, that was definitely courting death, Liu-shi saw it very clearly.
Therefore, even though she knew that Yuan Xi was putting on an act, she still couldn't expose him. This kind of feeling simply drove Liu-shi crazy!
After being a vicious stepmother for so many years, this was the first time she had been humiliated by Yuan Xi. She had a depressed expression on her face.
Yuan Xi was lying on Yuan Shao's shoulder. The father and son were hugging each other. When they saw Liu-shi's bored expression, they immediately revealed a mocking smile on their faces. At the same time, they stretched out their palms towards Liu-shi.
Liu-shi didn't know what Yuanxi meant and looked at Yuanxi in a daze.
Yuan Xi slowly retracted his four fingers, leaving only his middle finger. He pointed it straight at Liu-shi, his lips moved slightly, and he said silently,“艹!”
