Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 446

Chapter 446: Silent Comfort
“Father, how could you stand idly by when you saw your daughter being expelled? Grandpa has even separated Qingqing’s household registration!” Xiao Yiguan asked.

“I don’t have this daughter, and you don’t have a sister either!” Father Xiao said angrily.

Xiao Yiguan looked at his father and said in disbelief, “Father, Qingqing is your biological daughter! How can you be so heartless? You know that what happened was not her fault. She is still the same person you have loved and been proud of since she was born!”

Hearing his words, Father Xiao glanced at him and said coldly, “As long as she marries the general’s son, she will still be my good daughter. Otherwise, I would rather not have this daughter than become the laughing stock of the entire capital!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yiqing said, “Brother, it’s okay.”

Xiao Yiguan looked at her worriedly and said, “But, Qingqing…”

Xiao Yiqing shook her head, looked at her parents, and said with a smile, “Father, Mother, thank you for bringing me into this world and raising me for so many years. I will live a happy life with Brother Zigu, you don’t have to worry about me.”

After saying that, she knelt down, kowtowed to her parents three times, and said, “Father, mother, your unfilial daughter is leaving. Please take good care of yourself.”

Seeing her firm eyes, Mother Xiao burst into tears, while Xiao Yiguan lowered his head to hide his tears. Father Xiao looked at his daughter and son-in-law without saying anything.

‘Qingqing, don’t blame your father. Only by leaving the Xiao family can you gain freedom and happiness. You must live well and be happy,’ he thought.

Seeing that his wife had made a decision, Mu Zigu saluted Father Xiao and Mother Xiao and said, “Father, Mother, I will protect Qingqing and will not let her down. Please don’t worry.”

After saying that, he helped his wife up and took away her household registration book. Afterward, the two left the Xiao family without looking back.

After they left, Xiao Yiguan looked at everyone and asked, “Qingqing has left the family, are you satisfied now?”

“Yiguan, pay attention to your tone.” Father Xiao reminded him.

Looking at his father’s calm look, Xiao Yiguan said coldly, “Master Xiao, you shouldn’t worry about my matter. Today, you lost more than just your daughter. You also lost your son!”

Hearing his words, Mother Xiao was shocked and exclaimed, “Yiguan! How can you say such things to your father?”

“He is not worthy of being my father,” Xiao Yiguan said coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he left the Xiao family without hesitation.

Seeing her son leaving, Mother Xiao stood up and wanted to chase him. But before she could take a few steps, Father Xiao said, “Let him go.”

“Husband..”

“I said, let him go! If he thinks he can succeed without me and the Xiao family, then let him prove it!” Father Xiao said.

When everyone saw them quarreling, they all sneered and took pleasure in their misfortune while Grandpa Xiao glanced at his son and frowned.

A few days ago, his son came to him and asked him to expel Xiao Yiqing to avoid ruining the Xiao family’s reputation. They should not let her marry the general’s son, as she was already impure, lest she anger the general.

After weighing the pros and cons, Grandpa Xiao felt that what his son said made sense. So, when Mu Zigu contacted him for the nth time and asked for his permission to marry Xiao Yiqing, he finally agreed.

At first, he doubted whether his son was actually helping his granddaughter or worrying about the Xiao family. But today, seeing his son treating his granddaughter so indifferently, he finally believed that his son’s suggestion was for the benefit of the Xiao family.

Grandpa Xiao nodded approvingly, looked at his son, and said with a smile, “Since she has been expelled from the family, you don’t have to worry about her anymore. Focus more on your career.”

Hearing his father’s words, Father Xiao nodded and said calmly, “I understand, father.”

Everyone was discussing Xiao Yiqing’s matter, and no one except Mother Xiao noticed Father Xiao’s clenched fists. Seeing the veins popping up on her husband’s hands, she finally realized that what just happened was far from what it seemed.

She reached out her hand and placed it on her husband’s hand. Even without saying anything, they know what their spouse is thinking and feeling. Father Xiao lowered his head, held his wife’s hand, and sought comfort from her silent company.

At the same time, Xiao Yiqing was sitting on the back seat of Mu Zigu’s bicycle. As they rode, she closed her eyes, felt the breeze on her face, and smiled.

She thought she would be sad after being banished from her family. Unexpectedly, after being expelled, not only did she not feel sad, she even felt that the burden on her shoulders had been lifted. Opening her eyes, she looked at her husband’s back.

She hugged his waist, leaned on his back, and said, “Brother Zigu, from now on, you are the only one I have.”

Mu Zigu heard his wife’s words and said firmly, “Qingqing, even if you are tired of me and want to leave, I will not let you go.”

After riding for nearly an hour, they finally reached the military camp. When he arrived at the gate, Mu Zigu stopped and said, “Qingqing, let’s go report first, and then we can return to our home.”

Xiao Yiqing climbed off the bicycle after hearing his words and said, “Brother Zigu, am I allowed to live here?”

Mu Zigu nodded and said, “I have handed the request form to my Captain. When we get the marriage certificate, you can live with me.”

Before entering the military camp, both of them reported their identities to the guard. Because she was expelled, Xiao Yiqing has brought nothing but a bag filled with money, coupons, books, some cosmetics, two sets of clothes, and important documents. This bag was prepared by her mother and brother and was given to her by a servant when she left the Xiao family’s house.
