Shangguan Tianxiao calmed down and waved, "Come and sit next to father."

He would be so happy that Shangguan Ruoli could come. How could he understand the subtext of Xiao Yunqing and his daughter?

Shangguan Ruoxian, Shangguan Zhao and others stood up and saluted Shangguan Ruoli at the table: "Sister, (sister)!"

Shangguan Ruoxian is sitting on the right hand side of Shangguan Tianxiao, and the man next to her is the one who calls her sister.

Shangguan Ruoli guessed that this was Shangguan Tianxiao's eldest son Shangguan Yu, so he bowed slightly and said, "Brother!"

Shangguan Yu nodded slightly. He looked very much like Shangguan Tianxiao, but he was not so cold and solemn. He was a handsome and gentle man. For some unknown reason, he had not yet married a wife at the age of twenty-two.

Shangguan Ruoxian, who was sitting opposite Xiao Yunqing, had contempt in his eyes and lowered his eyes without saying a word.

According to the rules, Shangguan Yu and other concubine children are not allowed to eat at the table. They should stand aside with their aunts to serve the master, his wife and the legitimate children.

But Shangguan Tianxiao was born as a small businessman and a military commander. Shangguan Yu was the eldest son, and he had been with him since he was a child. He fought bloody battles with him, so his relationship and status were extraordinary. He didn't care much about the rules of concubine, so he might as well have them all

The children all came to the table to eat.

Shangguan Tianxiao scooped up a spoonful of shrimp custard and put it into the bowl in front of Shangguan Ruoli, with a gentle and kind look on his face, "Come on! This is Li'er's favorite food!"

"Thank you, daddy!" Shangguan Ruoli fumbled for the spoon, scooped it into his mouth and ate it with a calm smile on his face.

In fact, she wanted to say that this was something the original owner loved to eat when he was a child. The original owner had long since stopped eating the food that only children and old people like to eat.

Shangguan Tianxiao smiled when he saw Shangguan Ruoli eating egg custard. He was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Use the chopsticks!"

The rest of the people picked up their chopsticks and spoons and started eating breakfast. The dinner table was silent except for the occasional sound of porcelain spoons banging plates and bowls. This made Shangguan Ruoli, who was used to talking about things and exchanging feelings at the dinner table in modern times, feel that the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

After finishing breakfast in silence, the servants brought them mouthwash. The masters rinsed their mouths and moved to the small flower hall before they started talking.

Shangguan Tianxiao took a sip of the digestion tea, and then said with a serious face: "You guys don't go out much these days, and you should be careful about your words and deeds when you go out. Missions from various countries are arriving in Beijing one after another. Don't cause trouble or embarrass me.

, it’s a big deal to bring trouble to the General’s Mansion.”

"Yes!" The children all stood up and saluted in agreement.

Shangguan Ruoli also stood up, holding Rejoice's hand and leaning forward slightly.

Qu Xiaohan said: "Father, through surprise interrogation and search, many problems have been found in the mansion. How do you think we should deal with those servants?"

The color on Xiao Yunqing's face faded, and her hands nervously held the armrests of the chair.

Shangguan Tianxiao didn't even give her a look, but ordered decisively: "Kill those who should be killed, sell those who should be sold, and those who are in serious condition will be locked in a secret cell, waiting to be interrogated when I am free."

Qu Xiaohan nodded respectfully, "Yes! We need to find a new housekeeper. Does my adoptive father have a suitable candidate?"

Shangguan Tianxiao thought for a moment and said, "Liu Qiang's injury is almost healed. Let him be the housekeeper in the house."

Liu Qiang is the son of his nanny. He has been with him since he was a child and has been with him through life and death for so many years. This time he was injured while trying to save Shangguan Yu and lost an arm.

Then he said to Aunt Lin and Aunt Zhao: "You two take charge of the backyard. If there are any slaves who bully the master and refuse to obey the control, just kill and sell them!"

"Yes!" Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Zhao came out from behind and saluted.

Shangguan Tianxiao said: "From now on, you should have some dignity when hosting the backyard banquet. Stop standing and add a seat for you behind the masters."

Lin and Zhao were unfazed by the favor and humiliation, and saluted calmly: "Thank you, sir!"

In addition to giving birth to Shangguan Yu, Mrs. Lin also gave birth to a pair of twins.

The Zhao family gave birth to their eldest daughter, Shangguan Ruoshui, and also had a son.

They have sons and daughters, and they have all grown up. Their sons have established careers, and their daughters have married. They are from humble backgrounds, and as they get older, their desire to compete for favors has faded.

Shangguan Ruoli secretly observed the people in the hall. Shangguan Tianxiao had a wife and six aunts. There were a total of fourteen children present and absent, and each woman had children.

It is estimated that those without children can only be married, and are not even qualified to serve meals.

After Shangguan Tianxiao finished his digestion tea, he took Shangguan Yu and Qu Xiaohan to the Ministry of War to handle matters.

The younger boys went to school, and the girls went back to their own courtyards.

Shangguan Ruoli stood up, raised his forehead as if he suddenly remembered something, and said, "Oh, look at my memory, I forgot to ask dad if I have mother's dowry list, Rejoice, Sassoon, remember to remind me next time."

Rejoice, Sassoon respectfully said: "Yes!"

Xiao Yunqing's eyes were ferocious, and his face was terrifyingly gloomy.

Shangguan Ruoli said to her lightly: "When I hand over my mother's dowry to my two aunts, I should first hand over my mother's dowry clearly so that I can go to the warehouse to count them one by one."

Xiao Yunqing said coldly: "Your mother is my biological sister. Before she died, she entrusted you and her dowry to me. It does not count the property of the father-in-law, so naturally it cannot be left to her management."

Shangguan Ruoli said lukewarmly: "Oh! Then mother, please give me the real dowry list. You should frame the fake and old things yourself and hang them on your bedside."

After saying that, he supported Rejoice and walked out of the room proudly.

Xiao Yunqing was shaking with anger. She had already lost her power, and now she was humiliated by Shangguan Ruoli in public. She really wanted to kill someone.

When the women saw this, they hurriedly bowed to her and left as if they were hiding from the plague.

Shangguan Ruoxian gritted his teeth with hatred, picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it to the ground.

"Xian'er!" Xiao Yunqing stopped her coldly, "This is the main courtyard."

The main courtyard is Shangguan Tianxiao's territory, not a place for her to act recklessly.

Shangguan Ruoxian put the teacup on the table, stood up and helped Xiao Yunqing up, saying: "Mother, go back."

Xiao Yunqing closed her eyes, stood up from the chair, and walked out of the main courtyard with Shangguan Ruoxian with heavy steps.

Seeing that there were no other people waiting around, Shangguan Ruoxian said sternly: "Mother, you don't have to be afraid of that blind man. Isn't it just a dowry list? Just find a master to make a copy. Without that old fox, Aunt Su,

,Father doesn’t understand this!”

Xiao Yunqing said with cold eyes: "Your father knows about many valuable things. If you find that they are not on the list, you might as well just confess."

She gave away many of those valuable things to others just to socialize. Some of the paintings, calligraphy, and antiques were orphans, and she spent a lot of money to repair them even if she wanted to!

Shangguan Ruoxian gritted his teeth and said: "I must kill her!"

Xiao Yunqing stopped him and said, "Don't act recklessly. Your father's people are all in the house now. Our people have been cleared out. If anything happens, we will be in trouble."

Shangguan Ruoxian glanced at Xiao Yunqing with disdain, and said with hatred: "How many times have I told you, I am the future crown princess, what can he do to me?"
