Chapter 4095 It Is Not Your Turn to Interfere in My Affairs
Xiao Huaizhi just wanted someone to sing a song for him to relieve his boredom. Such a request was not excessive, and there was no reason to refuse.
Although he was under house arrest here, Xiao Huaizhi was still the fourth master here in terms of status. The servants could not compare with him. They had to agree to Xiao Huaizhi's request at this moment.
Let the woman enter Xiao Huaizhi's residence, but the two of them followed him all the time. Xiao Huaizhi's cultivation was abolished, and he was no different from an ordinary person. Now he couldn't even beat the two servants.
So there was no need to worry that Xiao Huaizhi would do anything abnormal. Soon the woman walked into Xiao Huaizhi's residence. Seeing the scene in front of her, the room was simply decorated, and her nose was sour.
There were not even a few decent furniture. There was only a bed and a desk in the inner room. There were a few books on the desk. Being under house arrest here, Xiao Huaizhi spent his time reading books and sitting in a chair in a daze.
Those identities in the past have become nothingness now. Although these are all his own requests, it is too miserable. The woman walked in front of Xiao Huaizhi and sobbed a few times.
"Adoptive father... Hong'er failed to take good care of you and let you suffer such grievances. It is Hong'er who is unfilial."
Because she likes red clothes and always likes to wear a red makeup when singing operas, Xiao Huaizhi named her Hong'er.
Hong'er has no surname and no parents. She doesn't know who her parents are. She has been raised by Xiao Huaizhi. She regards Xiao Huaizhi as her biological father.
After hearing this, Xiao Huaizhi's lonely heart finally felt some warmth. It turned out that he was not alone in this world. There was also an adopted daughter. Remember to come and see him at this time.
"Okay, Hong'er, get up. I am a sinner of the Xiao family and deserve such punishment. I am very satisfied with my current situation."
"But adoptive father is a hero and should not be trapped here. Even if he made a mistake, he should know to correct it. He doesn't need to be locked up here for life."
Hong'er cried and said. She felt heartbroken when she saw Xiao Huaizhi's situation. Such a life is not even as good as a servant.
The two people around them pretended not to hear these words. The family matters they talked about had nothing to do with them, as long as they did not involve sensitive topics.
Xiao Huaizhi helped Hong'er up. Hong'er knew that she could not do anything with her ability, and she was not even qualified to plead for her adoptive father.
"Okay, Hong'er, you don't need to blame yourself. I am fine here, my adoptive father. Once a person can calm down, he can reflect on his own mistakes. This is the punishment of others for my adoptive father, and it is also my own practice."
Hong'er stood up and made tea for Xiao Huaizhi personally. After this visit, I don't know when I can serve my master again next time.
After the tea was brewed, it was brought to Xiao Huaizhi. Xiao Huaizhi showed a relieved smile on his face. He grabbed Hong'er's little hand and said earnestly.
"Father is fine here, you don't need to worry about him. When you go back this time, take this jade pendant and go to Xiao Huaili to tell him. He won't stop you. You can leave the Xiao clan."
Xiao Huaizhi gave his jade pendant to Hong'er. You should know that only the five brothers have this jade pendant. The jade pendant has a special meaning.
The two people standing beside him saw that Xiao Huaizhi's behavior seemed a bit inappropriate. How could such a valuable and meaningful thing be given to such a person casually.
Although she is Xiao Huaizhi's adopted daughter, she is really just a servant. One of them stepped forward and said.
"Fourth Master, this may not be appropriate. This person is not a member of the Xiao clan. She can't afford such a valuable gift from you."
"Yes, Fourth Master, this is against the rules. The jade pendant is a symbol of your identity. If you give it to outsiders so easily, the clan leader will definitely be angry when he knows it."
Xiao Huaizhi listened to the two people talking to each other at this time, as if they were persuading him, but in fact they were trying to stop him. He chuckled and said.
"It's not your turn to teach me what I want to do. Don't forget who you two are."
A scolding brought the two back to reality. Xiao Huaizhi dared to go against the clan leader, which showed that he was not ordinary, and he was also a person with temper.
His repeated tolerance was not because he really gave in, but because he gave them a face. If they still pestered him, don't blame him for being rude here.
"I have nothing, and I want to give my daughter a valuable thing. Does this also require the permission of Xiao Huaili?"
"This..."
"Even if Xiao Huaili is here today, don't think of stopping me, let alone you two. If you don't want to force me to get angry, just shut up here. I don't like others talking in my ears when I do things."
The two were startled by the momentum that Xiao Huaizhi burst out. Indeed, what Xiao Huaizhi gave had nothing to do with them, and it was not their turn to intervene.
They had to step back and said that they would no longer interfere in this matter. After seeing such a result, Xiao Huaizhi snorted coldly, really thinking that he had no temper at all.
He personally handed the jade pendant to Hong'er and asked Hong'er to take it. Hong'er wanted to refuse, but Xiao Huaizhi grabbed her hand and intentionally increased the strength. She seemed to understand something.
So she put away the jade pendant. This would be a very important thing. Xiao Huaizhi was trapped here and was powerless. Only she could help and do something.
After seeing Hong'er accept the jade pendant, Xiao Huaizhi completed the last thing. He leaned back on the chair, as if he had returned to the past, the high-spirited Xiao Huaizhi, the fourth master of the Xiao family.
"Sing another song for me."
"Hong'er doesn't know what my godfather wants to hear."
"Just sing the one I taught you when you were thirteen years old."
Xiao Huaizhi called out the name. After thinking for a few seconds, Hong'er understood what this meant. She knelt slightly in front of Xiao Huaizhi.
"Godfather, wait a moment. Hong'er will go put on makeup and change into a set of costumes."
The two saw that there was nothing unusual in the situation, but they did not relax their vigilance and kept an eye on their actions.
Hong'er went to put on makeup and change clothes. After a while, she returned to Xiao Huaizhi again. She wore a gold hairpin and red makeup, and a pair of satin embroidered shoes on her feet.
She shook her sleeves and sang a clear voice. She sang the song very well. Even the two people who were guarding Xiao Huaizhi were particularly absorbed in listening to it.
After ten minutes, the song was over. Xiao Huaizhi put his hands on the table, tapping the table with his fingers. The song had stopped and he knew that Hong'er should leave.
This might be the last time he would listen to Hong'er sing a song in his life. The tapping fingers stopped and Xiao Huaizhi spoke.
"Okay, you go. This is a place of trouble. My jade pendant can be exchanged for some money to ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing in this life."
"Adoptive father..."
Hong'er cried again facing Xiao Huaizhi. Xiao Huaizhi turned his eyes away. He didn't want to see this scene.
