The General’s Little Peasant Wife - Chapter 392

Xiao Yi Lin took out a jade pendant, it was indeed the jade pendant that Xiao Zi Xuan had dropped in the study room.

“My…… How did my jade pendant end up being with father?” Xiao Zi Xuan’s face stiffened, she felt anxious and frightened when she looked into Xiao Yi Lin’s eyes, it was as if something was about to happen.

Xiao Yi Lin looked at the jade pendant in his hand: “Indeed, father is also curious, why is the jade pendant that Xuan’er said to have left in the Marquis Residence in my hand,” Xiao Yi Lin muttered, it was as if he was saying it to Xiao Zi Xuan, yet also as if he was saying it to himself.

Xiao Zi Xuan bit her lip, she knew that Xiao Yi Lin definitely knew something, otherwise he would not beat around the bush when bringing it up to her.

“Father……”

“Xuan’er, tell father, why did you do it?” Xiao Yi Lin looked at Xiao Zi Xuan as he interrupted her, he looked coldly at Xiao Zi Xuan, there were no emotions in his eyes.

Xiao Zi Xuan was startled, she stuttered: “I…… I don’t understand…… what father…… means.”

“Is it?”

Such a tone was akin to clutching Xiao Zi Xuan’s heart, she looked nervously at Xiao Yi Lin, however, she was frightened by his pair of cold eyes and did not dare to move.

“Father, I…… I……”

“Xuan’er, do you know where father picked up this jade pendant?” Xiao Yi Lin looked at the jade pendant in his hands as he asked calmly.

“This…… Xuan’er does not know.”

“Yes, you indeed do not know, after all, you did not even know that you lost this jade pendant, how would you know where it was left at?” Xiao Yi Lin said sarcastically.

Xiao Zi Xuan wanted to explain, she wanted to refute, but she did not say anything after looking at Xiao Yi Lin’s pair of pitch-black eyes.

“Father, you already know?” Xiao Zi Xuan hardened her heart and asked as she gritted her teeth.

“Know about what?”

Xiao Zi Xuan was very afraid of Xiao Yi Lin when he acted like that, her hands were trembling slightly: “It’s…….”

“It was you who took the token which I placed in the secret room, right? After taking it away, you even shifted all the blame to Li Lin Er, am I right?” Xiao Yi Lin’s voice was abnormally calm, he did not sound mad at all.

Xiao Zi Xuan’s expression immediately became pale. He really knew, he knew it was her.

“Father, I took it because Ling Luo said he wanted to use it for a while, that’s why…… That’s why……” Xiao Zi Xuan hurriedly explained.

“Wanted to use it? Do you even know what that is?” Xiao Yi Lin laughed from anger at Xiao Zi Xuan’s explanation, she had stolen it because her husband wanted to use it?

Xiao Zi Xuan subconsciously shook her head.

“That item is enough to murder hundreds of people in Xiao Residence, and not a single person would remain from their nine relations[1],” Xiao Yi Lin’s words were not to scare Xiao Zi Xuan, it was a fact.

He was aware of Marquis Ling’s ambitions. After obtaining the token, and with the help of Nangong Yue, there was no need to guess the end result, it was clear.

Xiao Zi Xuan opened her eyes widely, her eyes were filled with disbelief: “That’s impossible, how could it be, I don’t believe it!”

“Don’t believe it? You think that I’m lying to you?” Xiao Yi Lin looked at Xiao Zi Xuan in a mocking manner.

Would he use the lives of hundreds of people in the Xiao Residence to joke around?

“Father, this can’t be true right?”

“It can’t be true? Xiao Zi Xuan, should anything happen to the Xiao Empire someday in the future, you are the one at fault,” Xiao Yi Lin looked at Xiao Zi Xuan as he said word by word.

Xiao Zi Xuan stumbled to the ground, she stared at Xiao Yi Lin in a dumbfounded manner, she did not dare to believe that it was true.

“Xiao Zi Xuan, I personally feel that I’ve treated you well. Even after knowing you are not my biological daughter, I still treated you the same, and this is how you repay me?” If he knew she was such a person, he should have directly cut off his relations with her.

Xiao Zi Xuan constantly shook her head: “Father, I know I’m in the wrong, I’ll bring it right back.”

“Bring it back? Ah, you think it’s so simple? I’m afraid that the item is now in Marquis Ling’s hands, nobody knows where it will finally end up. Xiao Zi Xuan, from today onwards, you will not return to Xiao Residence. Furthermore, I will no longer have anything to do with you,” Xiao Zi Xuan said word by word to Xiao Zi Xuan, the words he said was cruel to Xiao Zi Xuan.
