The little troublemaker, Xu Xiaoxiao, was covered in injuries. Formerly one of the notorious trio in the Province, Madame Zhou smiled gracefully, portraying the image of a devoted wife and mother. Meanwhile, Minister Xu remained silent, his demeanour composed. The three of them stood by the door, silently observing the departure of the Zhou family.

Suddenly, Xiao Wang regretted calling Zhou Hengyang. “Did you get beaten up?” Madame Zhou asked, aware of Xiaoxiao’s capabilities, knowing very few could challenge him. “Was it Zhou Hengyang?”

Xu Pei nodded, his expression filled with pain.

“Sweetie, let’s go. I’ll get medicine for you. Don’t be afraid. Mommy will protect you. I won’t tease you about the child bride anymore. If you’re unwilling, it was just a playful tease. Look, Su Wen didn’t make a fuss about it, she didn’t take it seriously. I didn’t either. I just wanted to have some fun with you. Too bad you’re not as entertaining as you used to be when you were kids.”

Reassuring her son, Zhou Yan led him away, applying medicine with a troubled expression.

Xu Xiaoxiao hissed and cursed Zhou Hengyang inwardly. “I want the child bride. I won’t let Zhou Hengyang off this time. I’ll personally fetch Sixth Sister from the Children’s Palace tonight.” Pretending surprise, Zhou Yan questioned, “But didn’t you hate her before?”

“The past is the past, now is the present.”

“Fine, go get her tonight. Remember, don’t mistreat Sixth Sister.”

“I know.”

Mother and son returned to the living room amicably to treat Xiaoxiao’s wounds, leaving Xiaowang gaping at the door. “Minister, so a beating is all it takes? Can it put an end to the family war in your household?”

Xu Pei nodded. “In the past, we had to fight battles to end battles,” he said seriously. “I thought Xiaoxiao had grown up, and Zhou Yan had matured. There shouldn’t have been a fight.”

Awkwardly clearing his throat, Xiao Wang decided it was best not to listen further. He recalled the saying about not airing one’s family feud in public.

“It’s alright. It’s been a while since I’ve been home. I’ll be staying for a month this time.” He intended to make the most of this opportunity to be with his wife.

Despite Xu Pei’s acknowledgement of his son and wife’s noisy, extravagant,

and embarrassing behaviour, everyone in town knew he cherished them. Anyone daring to speak ill of them should prepare for his retaliation.

However, during his absence, several incidents had occurred at home. He hadn’t met the wife Hengyang unexpectedly found, making it crucial to assess her suitability for his son.

Even if she had no malicious intentions, it was something he needed to consider.

He remained ignorant of the Zhou family’s intentions. Their uncharacteristic silence puzzled him. Observing the situation, he surmised that Hengyang likely held the upper hand. He had long known Hengyang to be the most ruthless among the younger generation.

Now, the Zhou family was facing the consequences. If they couldn’t save Hengyang, they would lose Heng Guang.

With a sense of responsibility, Xu Pei glanced towards the living room. Through the windows, he watched his son obediently receiving treatment on the sofa. Xiaoxiao always seemed at odds with Hengyang since childhood, yet he admired Hengyang the most.

Children often gravitate towards older companions. In his younger days, Xiaoxiao had followed the Hengyang brothers like a shadow, making him jealous. Why should his precious treasure be snatched away?

But there’s nothing to be done. Xiaoxiao favoured the twin cousins. Now there’s only one twin left, and it’s such a pity for Hengshan..
