Chapter 1579, don’t leave tonight
The Xiao Chonghuan couple, their legs broken, canceled the large force they had sent to assassinate Su Qingyue.
Xiao Yuchuan feared that the Xiao couple might discover that the attackers in black were dispatched by his wife. After probing the housekeeper, the Xiao couple mistakenly thought the assailants were from Pear Blossom Villa, as Chang Haotian had visited the Xiao Mansion just before the incident. No one from the Xiao Family suspected the wife had such capabilities, so he felt relieved.
That morning, after Xiao Chonghuan had taken the medicine brewed by the doctor, he summoned a secret guard to inquire, "What has that unfilial son been up to these past few days?"
"The young Master leaves early each day and returns very late, just wandering around in the capital," the secret guard replied. "I followed him secretly, and I feel the young Master seems to be looking for someone..."
Xiao Chonghuan snorted coldly, "Could it be that the unfilial son thinks that village girl Su Qingyue has also come to the capital? If she were in the capital, given the power of the Xiao Mansion, how could she possibly not be found?"
"The young Master hasn’t said he’s looking for Su Qingyue; it’s just my speculation," the guard clarified.
Shen Yun chimed in from the couch, "Master, as long as the son does not cause trouble and knows to come back every day, that’s good enough. Maybe he’s just curious and wandering around since it’s his first time in the capital."
Xiao Chonghuan then spoke no further, "With the marriage between the Xiao and the Gongsun families approaching, he better not create any chaos."
"Of course not, of course not," Shen Yun quickly gestured with her hands. She was increasingly agreeing with the Master’s viewpoint, sure that their son had come to his senses and couldn’t let go of the power and riches of the Xiao Family; otherwise, why would he not resist the upcoming marriage?
