Chapter 39: 39
Xiao family.
“Mother, I got news about Xiao Jinfeng!” Xiao Muhong walked into the room and said.
“Oh? Where has he gone?” Liu Xian asked lightly.
“He went in the direction of Mound Village. He should have gone to meet Xiao Jingting,” Xiao Muhong said.
Liu Xian laughed sarcastically, “Xiao Jinfeng is so sick and desperate that he actually turned to Xiao Jingting for help.”
Xiao Muhong nodded his head and said, “That is right, what kind of person is Xiao Jingting? Xiao Jinfeng should have known better. He really is desperate.”
“There’s no need to kill Xiao Jinfeng now that he’s like this, let them go,” Liu Xian said.
Xiao Muhong frowned and said, “Mother, Xiao Jinfeng is really vengeful, if he…”
“No matter what he intended to do, he is only a level 4 Qi practitioner. Without the protection of his family, it will be very difficult for him to advance. He was poisoned this time and didn’t get proper treatment in time, even if he recovers, he will still suffer some sequelae. He will never become a level 5 Qi Practitioner in his life. Your second uncle and second aunt just died. At this time, if Xiao Jinfeng dies as well, it will inevitably cause suspicion.”
Xiao Muhong nodded and said, “Mother, you’re right.”
“Your father is now at the crucial time of competing for the position of the head of the family. If these sons of your second uncle are not properly handled, and the other houses have something on us, we’ll be in trouble.” Liu Xian pointed out.
“I understand, mother. At present the most important thing is my father’s competition for the position of family head. Xiao Jinfeng is also very capable. He is obviously a man who does not understand amorous feelings, but when he is in distress, he still has a Ger accompanying him…” When he was not paying attention, that Ger actually took Xiao Jinfeng away.
Liu Xian narrowed her eyes and said, “Your second uncle’s sons won’t pose any threat to us now. Xiao Jinfeng’s attributes aren’t good and he has been expelled from the mercenary team. Xiao Jingting is only proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. He is good for nothing. I have waited for so many years for the day of our prosperity to come.”
“Mother, don’t forget, there’s still Xiao Qingyan from second uncle’s family. When second aunt was still alive, she was most fond of this son,” Xiao Muhong said.
Bifeng Academy was a holy place in many people’s minds, Xiao Muhong also wanted to enter and Liu Xian has also thought about it. Unfortunately, the entrance exam of Bifeng Academy was extremely difficult. Even though Liu Xian finally won anopportunity for Xiao Muhong to take the exam, Xiao Muhong did not pass it, so Xiao Muhong had always been very jealous of Xiao Qingyan.
“Don’t worry about him. He went so far as going after the young lady of Hou house and was beaten.” Liu Xian was full of glee.
Xiao Muhong was unexpectedly surprised: “He has been beaten?”
Liu Xian dreaded Xiao Qingyan, “Yes, there is a gathering of talents in Bifeng Academy. Some in their twenties are level nine Qi Practitioners already. Xiao Qingyan is somewhat talented, but when he is compared to those people, he has nothing to be proud of.”
Xiao Muhong nodded and said, “So that’s how it is.”
“In the past, Xiao Qingyan had the financial support of his parents and had a good life in the academy. But now that he has no backing, sooner or later, he won’t be able to make it, so we should now make your third and fourth uncles our targets.” Liu Xian clenched her fist. They were the eldest, but in the past, they were suppressed by the second house everywhere. Now that the second house was gone, the third and fourth house rose up in strength.

Xiao Muhong nodded and said, “Mother, you’re right.” In the past, when the second house was there, they had a good relationship with the third and the fourth house in order to fight with the second house. But now that the second house was gone, we had become competitive with each other.
“The Sun family sent a message over, planning to ask you to pick a date for you and Sun Miaomiao to settle down.” Liu Xian smiled.
Xiao Muhong slightly blushed, “I’ll follow your arrangement, mother.”
Liu Xian smiled with satisfaction and said, “My son is talented and good looking. No wonder that unruly girl of the Sun family has a crush on you. Unlike Xiao Jingting, who is shameless and doesn’t know how his status, but still dares to pursue Miss Sun.”
When Xiao Muhong heard these words, his face showed a bit of ridicule. When he thought of Xiao Jingting’s humble behavior in front of Sun Xiaomiao, he felt amused.
“Don’t you know what Xiao Jingting is like, Mother?” Xiao Muhong said in disdain, “But, mother, when Xiao Jingting left, you gave him several mus of land, including a lot of first-class fields. You were very kind to that jerk.”
Liu Xian smiled and said, “Although Xiao Jingting is a loser, your grandfather treats him quite well. If we didn’t give him anything, people might talk. I gave him the land, which is the guarantee of his life. If he sold all the fields, it would be his own failure. It has nothing to do with us. Besides, these fields are not a good thing.”
Xiao Muhong was puzzled as he said, “The fields are not good.”
“When I got the land deed for these first class fields they had already been abandoned for half a month. Later, I transferred the land deeds to Xiao Jingting and he should have been procrastinating for more than a month. It is stipulated by the Marquis house that the first-class farmland can’t be idle and it needs to be compensated with silver.”
“That idiot Xiao Jingting, definitely doesn’t know that there is such a rule. When the Marquis finds it, he won’t even know how he ends up in being punished. Maybe, we don’t even need to wait for Marquis to find it and this loser would bring death upon himself. Without the protection of his parents, Xiao Jingting is just a loser and it would be difficult for him not to cause trouble for the family.” Liu Xian covered her mouth as she smiled.
“Mother, you’re so wise.” Xiao Muhong complimented.
Liu Xian looked at Xiao Muhong and said, “You should have a long-term vision. Xiao Jingting has now been driven out of the Xiao family, and he can’t do anything about it. Your grandfather is about to finish his close-door cultivation. You should figure out a way to please the old man. That’s what you should work on right now.”
Xiao Muhong nodded and said in a high spirit, “Got it, mother.”
