Chapter 826 Threat (3)
Stepping back into Lord Wei Yuan House beneath the vast night sky and having had a simple dinner, Xiao Ruiyuan was about to return to his room to rest when someone from the Prince’s Mansion suddenly came over, requesting him to pay a visit to the Prince’s Mansion.
Xiao Ruiyuan didn’t give it much thought and changed into a fresh set of clothes, preparing to leave the house. However, as he was about to step out the door, he encountered Xiao Xiong and Lady Wei, who had just returned from outside.
"At such a late hour, where is the Princely Heir off to?" Lady Wei asked with seemingly concerned words, making one who didn’t know any better think she had a good relationship with her stepson.
Xiao Ruiyuan didn’t even glance at Lady Wei but breezed past the two of them, heading straight for the gate.
"Stop right there!" Xiao Xiong’s voice thundered sharply, his eyes filled with coldness and contempt, not at all like he was looking at his own son. "What is that attitude? Apologize to your mother!"
Xiao Eleven looked at Xiao Xiong as if staring at a fool. Usually, when they crossed paths, they ignored each other completely. He couldn’t understand what madness had seized Xiao Xiong today, demanding that his master apologize to this woman.
The relationship between Xiao Ruiyuan and Xiao Xiong had always been very poor. After Xiao Ruiyuan had banished Xiao Ruiqing from Jing City and sent him off to watch over the clan’s tomb in their ancestral land, their relationship had dropped to an all-time low. Although living under the same roof, when they did see each other, it was as if they hadn’t, never even sharing a greeting. They’d been in an uneventful peace for nearly a year—did he no longer contain his irritation?
Xiao Ruiyuan had no desire to entangle with these two people, but he was puzzled by their reactions and thus spoke coldly, "My mother has long since passed away. If anyone should apologize to her, it’s not me."
