The next day.
As usual, Yuan Xi finished his breakfast with Zhen Mi and ordered the servant girls to change his clothes.
"Husband, where are you going? Can I go too?" Although Zhen Mi was weak, she still wanted to stick to Yuan Xi.
"You should rest at home. I'll go to the General's Estate.”Yuan Xi patted Zhen Mi's head.
"Oh, then I won't go. Husband, be careful on the road.”As Zhen Mi spoke, she shrank back into the blanket. It seemed that she was really frightened by Madam Liu last time.
Yuan Xi saw Zhen Mi's timid appearance. Although he still had a warm smile on his face, he had already begun to curse Liu-shi in his heart. He thought that he would have to kill her sooner or later to vent his hatred.
Yuan Xi went to the front yard alone. Zhao Yun was already waiting there.
"Zilong, accompany me to the General's Mansion.”
"Here."
Yuan Xi rode his Ferghana Horse in front while Zhao Yun followed behind with a spear in hand.
Because he was going to Yuan Shao's side, Yuan Xi didn't bring any personal guards and only brought Zhao Yun alone, so as to avoid Yuan Shao's suspicion.
In terms of sense of propriety, Yuan Xi had always been very careful.
This time, Yuan Xi came to find Yuan Shao to promise Zhen Yan.
After all, there must be someone in the position of Ji County Magistrate. He had already promised to give it to Zhen Yan. Yuan Xi did not have the power to appoint and dismiss officials, so he could only discuss it with Yuan Shao.
Yuan Xi had arrived earlier. Yuan Shao had also just finished his breakfast and was drinking tea there. Liu-shi, this vicious woman, was also there.
Their gazes crossed. After Liu-shi saw Yuan Xi, her body unconsciously trembled. It seemed that the previous incident had also left a shadow on Liu-shi.
"Xianyi is here? Why didn't he bring his wife along?”Yuan Shao thought that Yuan Xi was here to greet him.
"Greetings, Old Man and Mother. Mi 'er caught a cold last night, so I didn't bring her along.”Yuan Xi casually lied.
"Oh? Was it serious? Why don't you bring the doctor back to take a good look?”Yuan Shao asked with concern.
"Thank you for your concern, Old Weng. I have already let the doctor take a look. He said that he will recover in a few days.”
"That's good. I still hope to have a grandson soon. Nothing can go wrong.”
Yuan Shao said this because although he had four sons, he did not have a grandson.
The third and fourth brothers had not married yet, so they naturally could not be counted on. Although the eldest son, Yuan Tan, had been married for many years, he only had one daughter.
Now that Yuan Xi was married, Yuan Shao naturally looked forward to it. If Zhen Mi could give birth to a boy, the third generation of the Yuan family would have a male.
"I'll work hard so that Ah Weng can have a grandson as soon as possible.”Yuan Xi said cheekily.
Yuan Shao laughed heartily when he heard this. He liked this son even more. Not only was he filial, but he could also always make him happy.
When the father and son were talking, Yuan Xi's eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Liu-shi, making Liu-shi's hair stand on end, as if there was a knife on her back, as if she was sitting on a felt of needles.
"What's wrong with you?" Yuan Shao soon discovered Liu-shi's peculiarity.
Madam Liu forced a smile," Old Master, I'm not feeling well. I want to go back to my room to rest."”
"Oh, go ahead. If you can't, let the doctor take a look at you.”Yuan Shao said casually.
"No need, no need. I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after resting for a while.”Liu-shi said and was about to get up and leave.
Suddenly, Yuan Xi took a big stride and directly arrived in front of Liu-shi, scaring Liu-shi so much that she almost fell.
"Mother, be careful. I'll help you back to your room to rest.”
Character setting! The character image was very important. Yuan Xi would not let go of any opportunity to play the role of a filial son, especially in front of Yuan Shao.
"Don't bother Xianyi, I can do it myself.”Liu-shi said as she tried to break free from Yuanxi's hand.
"Hey, the child is filial. Don't reject him. It'll hurt the child's heart.”Yuan Shao gave an assist from the side.
Liu-shi was helpless when she heard this and could only act like a marionette, letting Yuan Xi hold her back to the house.
The corner of Yuan Xi's mouth held a trace of a smile. The hand supporting Liu-shi could clearly sense that Liu-shi's body was trembling non-stop. If it wasn't for his support, she probably wouldn't even be able to walk steadily.
"Mother, be careful of your feet. Don't fall.”Yuan Xi did not forget to remind him.
It would have been better if he hadn't reminded her, but when he spoke, Liu-shi was almost scared to death.
"Alright... Alright…"
After walking a little further away, Yuan Xi said in a suppressed voice,
"Not bad, you still have some insight. I won't interfere with you in the future, so don't find trouble with me. If you want to find trouble, go find trouble with Boss.”
Liu-shi took a deep breath and said: " I understand. In the future, we will mind our own business. As long as you don't stop my son from ascending the throne, it will be fine."”
"Of course, I won't stop your son, and I won't stop Boss from taking over.”
Yuan Xi had always emphasized this point, repeatedly mentioning this matter to Yuan Shang and Liu shi's mother and son, in order to completely stay out of it.
He let the eldest and third brother fight each other, so that Yuan Xi could hide in the dark and find a suitable opportunity to put on a show of a fight between the snipe and clam, and the fisherman would benefit from it.
After sending Liu-shi back to her room, Yuan Xi returned and found Yuan Shao again.
"Weng, I have something to discuss with you.”
"Oh? What was it? Tell me." Yuan Shao didn't pat his chest and agree directly.
Yuan Xi knew that Yuan Shao was not easy to fool, so he could only continue,"Can you transfer the current Ji County Magistrate away?”
Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows." And then?”
"Then transfer my brother-in-law over.”Yuan Xi said truthfully.
"Bang!"
The teacup in Yuan Shao's hand smashed heavily onto the table as he glared at Yuan Xi with an unfriendly expression.
