Chapter 500: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
## Chapter 500: Hatred (Part 1)
Seeing Xiao Xiongweng's sudden pale face, Xiao Ruiyuan's lips curved, his eyes filled with endless coldness.
The man in front of him, his so-called father, had an affair with that woman while his mother was pregnant with him and even got her pregnant. His mother, lying in the delivery room, "accidentally" overheard this, which caused her such distress that she had a difficult labor, her health deteriorated, and she eventually died in grief!
Before his mother's body was cold, this man couldn't wait to marry the woman who had caused his mother's death, taking advantage of his grandfather being stationed at the border and unable to return in time. He eagerly married that poisonous woman and brought back Xiao Ruiqing, who was only a few months younger than him.
He would not blame a child for his mother's death. If Xiao Ruiqing hadn't coveted his status and position, if he hadn't attempted to kill him to seize the title of heir, he would not have acted against him, not even hindering his future, out of respect for his grandfather and their shared Xiao family bloodline.
Xiao Ruiqing not only ruined his reputation within the clan but also secretly aligned himself with Prince Heng, the biggest threat to his cousin. For both public and private reasons, he could not let him go.
As long as it did not violate his grandfather's last wishes, sending Xiao Ruiqing back to their ancestral home to guard the family tomb was already the biggest concession he could make. As for whether this man agreed or not, he did not care at all!
"You ungrateful wretch! You heartless wretch!" Xiao Xiongweng pointed at Xiao Ruiyuan, shouting angrily. His face, red with rage, twisted with fury and unwillingness, yet he could do nothing about it!
Who the real master of the Marquis household was, outsiders did not know, but he could not deceive himself. If it weren't for this wretch's unwillingness to marry, his title would have been long gone!
This wretch had no filial piety towards his father or his younger brother, Qing'er. Even if this wretch, considering his father's last wishes, would not do anything to Qing'er, he would not let him off easily.
Not to mention, a noble young master being exiled to the ancestral home to guard the family tomb for life would not happen unless he made a big mistake. Just the rumors and slanders would ruin his Qing'er!
Facing the furious Xiao Xiongweng, Xiao Ruiyuan glanced at him coldly and looked away. He no longer wanted to waste words with this biased and foolish man.
"You... you... unfilial son!"
Xiao Xiongweng was furious, his index finger trembling as he pointed at Xiao Ruiyuan, nearly fainting with anger!
That cold gaze made it clear that there was no room for negotiation on punishing his youngest son!
Staring at Xiao Ruiyuan with fierce eyes, Xiao Xiongweng's chest heaved violently. Despite his unwillingness and resentment, he could only swallow it temporarily!
Hmph, as long as he still held the title of Marquis, as long as he was still the head of the household, those clan members wouldn't dare to neglect Qing'er. He wanted to see if this unfilial son would still be so arrogant without the Crown Prince's backing in a year!
At that moment, a flurry of footsteps sounded outside the door. Before the guard at the door could announce, the study door was flung open with a bang. A gorgeously dressed woman with stunning beauty and grace hurried in.
"Marquis, Qing'er is still young. He was misled into making mistakes. I only have Qing'er as a child. Please don't send him back to the ancestral home, please!" The gorgeously dressed woman rushed in and fell at Xiao Xiongweng's feet, holding his waist and legs, crying pitifully like a weeping willow.
This gorgeously dressed woman was none other than Wei Shi, who had committed adultery with Xiao Xiongweng, gotten pregnant before marriage, caused the death of his original wife, and eventually became the head mistress of the Wei Yuan Marquis household.
