Chapter 4094: Just Singing a Song
Xiao Huaizhi was considered a prominent person back then. Who would have dared to do this at that time? Now that she is in such a state of decline, a random person can stop her.
"I am not an unknown person. I am his adopted daughter. I have to call him adopted father here. Isn't it allowed for a daughter to come see her father?"
The woman introduced her identity. She had been taken in by Xiao Huaizhi since she was a child. Although she was a servant, the master had never looked down on her since she entered this place. She had always treated him as one of his own.
It's just that she knows in her heart that no matter what time, she will always be a servant next to her master, so she doesn't have too many extravagant demands. Once her master needs it, she will appear here immediately.
"this……"
"We don't know about this. If this is the case, then the girl will wait here for a while, and we will report to the clan leader and then decide whether to let the girl in."
The two servants guarding the courtyard gate still refused to let her pass. This was a matter personally ordered by the patriarch. If something went wrong, the two servants could not afford it.
"you!"
The woman glared at the two men. A clan leader stood in front of her, leaving her helpless. Imprisoning the master was Xiao Huaili's decision, and no one could change it.
The only way is to wait until Xiao Huaili speaks in person, but this person is so cold-blooded, how could he make a special trip for such a trivial matter like hers.
Xiao Huaizhi heard the sound in the yard and stood up from his chair. After losing the glory of his identity, even the most basic expenses for food and clothing were reduced to the lowest point, and he was wearing a coarse robe.
Walking slowly towards the courtyard gate, he pushed open the courtyard door and looked at the woman in front of him, feeling somewhat comforted.
Everyone pushed against him, having been defeated by Xiao Huaili before. Those who were close to him, let alone coming to see him in person, did not even send the simplest greeting. Everyone treated him as a bereaved dog.
When he was at his lowest, there was still someone who could take a look at him. His kindness in raising this woman was not in vain, and a smile finally appeared on his calm face.
But this smile disappeared in an instant. He stood in front of the two servants guarding the door, turned around and snorted coldly.
"What's wrong? I was born with a physical disability and have no children of my own. I have adopted an adopted daughter. She comes to see me. Do you want to stop her?"
Xiao Huaizhi asked, even if he is in this situation now, after all, he is still a descendant of the Xiao clan, and the difference in status will always exist.
The two servants were very sensible and took a few steps back, not daring to offend Xiao Huaizhi or making him angry. One of them replied.
"Fourth Master, don't be angry. The patriarch has given instructions. Fourth Master needs to rest here. No outsiders are allowed to disturb Fourth Master's peace. We also obey the patriarch's instructions. If we make Fourth Master unhappy, please forgive him."
"Fourth Master, please don't embarrass us two. We are all doing our duty. If we let this woman in, we will not be able to bear the blame from the patriarch."
The two servants were not ordinary characters. They were sent to monitor Xiao Huaizhi. They must choose smart and capable people to complete this task.
They told Xiao Huaizhi in a tactful way. This was a helpless move. If you are dissatisfied with anything or have special requirements, you can go directly to the clan leader.
As for the two of them, they have always followed orders and it is their job to stay here. It is reasonable to prevent this woman from entering.
If it were before, Xiao Huaizhi would have already lost his temper, and just two servants would dare to stop him here.
The fourth master shouted one after another, "How can such a master be like this? He is simply inferior to a servant. At least the servant is free, but he has to be imprisoned here."
Xiao Huaizhi knew that it would be difficult to convince these two people, but he wanted this woman to enter the yard today, so he suddenly had an idea.
"It's just a small thing, it's worth reporting to him. I'm just bored here, and my adopted daughter-in-law has a clear voice and has learned opera. I asked her to sing a few verses for me. This is nothing. Too much to ask for?"
"this……"
"Or do you think that after watching me suffocate here, I can go back to deal with Xiao Huaili? My life doesn't matter, but when the time comes, the face of the entire Xiao clan will be lost."
The two looked at each other. It was obvious that what Xiao Huaizhi said at this moment had put the two of them in trouble. If an accident happened to Xiao Huaizhi while under house arrest here, he would definitely be charged with it later.
"Your performance here is quite good. I plan to wait until Xiao Huaili comes and give you a few words of praise to improve your status. Looking at it now, I can only be a villain."
There was a threat in Xiao Huaizhi's words. The meaning of being a villain was just a few words from Xiao Huaizhi. As long as he said a few words, the two of them might have to pay a heavy price.
This is the difference in status. The two of them are just servants. If Xiao Huaizhi makes a mistake, the most he can do is be imprisoned, and the two of them will definitely have no chance to continue living.
"Fourth Master, please don't do this. We are just obeying orders and have not offended Fourth Master."
The two people hurriedly expressed their attitude in front of Xiao Huaizhi, hoping that Xiao Huaizhi would be more considerate and not bother with them.
Xiao Huaizhi didn't mean to embarrass them, but he had to come up with some ways to achieve his goal. Since the two women had already spoken, he continued.
"Well, since you all know, I'll let her go in and sing a song for me. Will you stop me?"
"This..."
"I won't embarrass you. I know it's not easy for you. How about this? When she sings, you can also listen to her. What do you think?"
At this moment, Xiao Huaizhi took a step back. The two thought about it. If this is the case, it is okay. This woman is singing for the fourth master. They can listen to her and know if there is anything unusual.
Thinking that such a request is not excessive, a person is under house arrest here, unable to go out or see people, and is indeed bored. Listening to the song is just to relieve boredom.
"If that's the case, then we'll take the initiative and let her go in and sing for the Fourth Master."
"But the Fourth Master should know that she can't stay in there for too long."
The two agreed to Xiao Huaizhi's request and let the woman go in and sing for Xiao Huaizhi. At the same time, they stood by. If the woman wanted to tell Xiao Huaizhi something secret or say something secret, they would be able to hear it.
