Unlike Xi Rui, Liang Youxiao did not sneak back to seek protection early.
Instead, he casually took the same carriage as his father.
Today, he was certain that his father would not do anything to him.
It was a rare opportunity for him to be unbridled, so he would not let go of this opportunity.
Seeing this, Liang Mingcheng’s hands became more and more itchy, but he still forced himself to endure it.
Back at the Liang family home.
Old Master Liang had already returned from playing Mahjong.
When he heard that Liang Youxiao was causing trouble and his eldest son had run to the palace to bring him back, he also had a headache.
He and a few others sat and waited at home.
His second and third sons were second and third rank officials.

However, because Liang Mingcheng entered the palace first, he became the Liang family’s representative to taste the corn.
No one else was notified.
The moment Liang Mingcheng and his son entered the living room, they saw a few of their family members sitting and drinking tea.
“Father, you’re back,” Liang Mingcheng greeted first.
His father had been out playing Mahjong recently and would only come back when it was dinner time.
He came back considerably early today.
Old Master Liang nodded and asked, “I heard from your second brother and the rest that Youxiao went to the palace to cause trouble?”
Liang Youxiao wasn’t surprised at all.
After all, his second uncle was not on good terms with him, and his third uncle could not stand him.
Before his father could say anything, he went up to his grandfather with a smile.
“Grandfather, I’m not causing trouble. Instead, I went to bring honour to our family.
“The emperor even rewarded me today.”
Old Master Liang was stunned and did not believe what he said.
He looked at his eldest son. “The emperor really rewarded him?”
And not a few whips as the reward?
Liang Mingcheng rarely smiled because of his dandy son’s actions. “He really did.”
Then, he told them about the heaven-bestowed seeds and the reward from the emperor.

When he saw his second and third brothers’ jaws drop in shock, he suddenly felt proud and relieved.
Although his fourth brother was also shocked, he smiled and said, “Second brother, third brother, I told you that he is a good person. Isn’t he helping our family?
“Don’t keep looking through the cracks of the door.”
Liang Youxiao added, “That’s right. Second uncle, third uncle, do I look like someone who would go to the palace to cause trouble?”
He wasn’t a stupid dandy. He was very smart, okay?
His second and third uncle thought to themselves, you are indeed like this!
They were a little frustrated.
Why was it that the person who offered the seed wasn’t their sensible and mature sons, but this random dandy-like nephew.
Old Master Liang had always adored this grandson of his.
He smiled and said, “Not bad. You even know how to tag along to offer the seeds.”
Liang Youxiao immediately climbed up the watch tower. “Grandfather, not only did I tag along to offer the seeds, but I also brought some corn seeds back from Nanxi county.
“I specially hid them and brought them back to perform my filial duties on you and grandmother.
“May you and grandmother enjoy the blessings from heaven and live a long life.”
Liang Mingcheng thought to himself, why did these words sound so familiar?

This bastard really learnt very fast.
He probably couldn’t touch him anymore in this short period of time.
Old people liked to hear such words.
Sure enough, Old Master Liang’s smile was filled with love.
“Like what your grandmother said, Youxiao is indeed the most filial one.”
“Didn’t you want that land with a hot spring? I’ll get the housekeeper to give you the land deed in a while.”
No wonder his wife often said that Youxiao was the most filial one in the family.
He initially didn’t put much thought into it, but now he suddenly felt that it was true.
The other grandsons gasped, they were jealous!
Old Master Liang also thought about the glory and pride of growing the first batch of corn.
He also praised Liang Youxiao, which made the family members from his eldest son’s mistresses really jealous.
He also asked Liang Youxiao to pass the corn to the housekeeper to plant them and emphasised on taking good care of it.
He even announced to the public that he was not feeling well today and that he would not see any visitors.
Otherwise, other families would definitely want a share of his corn seeds.
He would not give it to them.
Something similar happened in the Xi family.
Xi Rui was a fast learner, so as soon as he returned home, he went to curry favour with Old Master Xi and Old Lady Xi.
He also emphasised that he had worked hard to obtain these seeds to bring it back to the capital to fulfil his filial duty to Old Master Xi and Old Lady Xi.
Old Lady Xi was so happy that she couldn’t help but hug him and kept on calling him “darling” and “my precious grandson”.
This caused Xi Rui’s step family to be envious as their heart ached.
Unlike the Xi family and the other families viewing this as a joyous occasion, the Xiao family was very gloomy.
After Xiao Yuanshi returned, he asked someone to cancel the plan.
He didn’t expect that he would receive news that would catch him off guard.
The assassins had already gone to intercept and kill, but the mission failed.
Moreover, the leader of the assassins did not manage to commit suicide, and they were all escorted back to the capital.
Xiao Yuanshi’s expression was terrifyingly gloomy.
The old Xiao family initially wanted to ask about the assassination, but upon seeing Xiao Yuanshi’s facial expression, they all shut up and left.
Ge Chunru rarely saw Xiao Yuanshi like this.
So she asked with a concerned look, “General, are you in a bad mood?”
Xiao Yuanshi had never told Ge Chunru about buying assassins to kill his daughter-in-law, and he was not going to tell her.
He said, “Zheng’er’s wife offered some high-yield seeds bestowed by heaven.
“She should be in the capital in a few days’ time.”
Then he told her about what happened when he went to the palace to taste corn.
Ge Chunru was completely stunned.
She hated them so much that her fingertips were tightly embedded in her palm.
The emperor would definitely reward them for offering the seeds that could fetch a high yield of a thousand catties per mu.
He would also have a deep impression of Xiao Hanzheng and his wife.
This bastard was already academically inclined.
With his current performance, he would definitely have a bright future ahead.
No, she absolutely could not let Xiao Hanzheng have a bright future.
Her smile was a little stiff. “This is a good thing for Hanzheng and his family.”
Xiao Yuanshi was thinking about those assassins.
If the emperor knew about it, would his impression of him change?
He replied, “That’s for sure.”
Then, he continued, “Oh right, get yourself ready. I’ll get someone to send my parents and the rest to the northern border in the next few days.”
Previously, the old Xiao family had been instigated by Shi Qingluo to come to the capital to cause trouble.
If they and Shi Qingluo’s team came together, who knew if they would cause another embarrassing incident.
Therefore, before the other team arrived, they had to quickly send these troublemakers at their manor away.
Ge Chunru did not think that way about the old Xiao family.
Instead, she had an idea.
“General, Eldest Grandson Xiao dotes on his concubine very much.
“Why don’t we let him meet his promising younger cousin, Hanzheng, before he goes to the northern border for his posting.”
There was a deeper meaning in her words.
Since Shi Qingluo and Shi Qingluo had instigated the old Xiao family to stir trouble for them, and even caused her younger brother’s future to be ruined, then why couldn’t they turn the tables around and use the old Xiao family to deal with Xiao Hanzheng’s family?
Right now, the future of the old Xiao family still depended on her husband’s title as a general.
Eldest Grandson Xiao was completely captivated by that girl.
When the wind blew, they wouldn’t need to worry that the old Xiao family wouldn’t go and cause trouble.
Moreover, Xiao Hanzheng had come to the capital with great merit this time.
With the old Xiao family’s blood thirsty nature, they would not be willing to let him go.
She could let that girl whisper all the benefits to Eldest Grandson Xiao’s ears.
She did not believe that the old Xiao family would not be tempted.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuanshi’s thoughts changed.
He also had similar thoughts.
He smiled meaningfully. “Alright, you are still the thoughtful one.
“They haven’t seen each other for a long time.
“Let them meet. I’ll arrange for someone to send them to the northern border.”
Unlike Xi Rui, Liang Youxiao did not sneak back to seek protection early.
Instead, he casually took the same carriage as his father.
Today, he was certain that his father would not do anything to him.
