As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, her two sons rushed over to greet her.
Qi Xiao Kun politely said hello to Sang Qingxiao, but Qi Xiaopeng shouted, "Mother, why did you bring her here?"
"It's because I invited Miss Sang to stay," she replied.
"Mother, don't you know who she is? She's Qi Xiaomian!"
"Peng Er!" Zhang Jingxue interrupted him sharply, scolding without hesitation. "Have you forgotten what I told you before? Your seventh brother is not your enemy. Why do you get so worked up whenever he is involved?
Let me be clearer: in your seventh brother's eyes, you are nothing. He doesn't even care to argue with you about the past. It's important to have self-awareness, yet you keep looking for trouble with him. Have you ever considered whether you have the ability to cause trouble?
"Mother!"
Being scolded by his own mother left Qi Xiaopeng at a loss for words, especially with others present. He felt utterly humiliated. "What's wrong with you today? Is there something that can't be said privately?"
"Are you embarrassed because I spoke too plainly and made you lose face? I truly regret not having spoken up sooner; it only allowed you to become so arrogant and ignorant of your own limitations."
"Now that your brother can handle the Qi family's affairs independently, what about you? You're the same age as him but do nothing all day and stir up trouble everywhere. Don't wait until one day when no one is left to protect you, and you end up in a dire situation."
"Mother! Is there any mother who curses her own son like this?!"
"If I don't scold you harshly, you'll never wake up!"
Qi Xiaopeng was furious but couldn't vent his anger at his mother. He stood up and turned to leave.
"Stop! Once you step out of this door today, don't come back to my courtyard again."
This warning surprisingly calmed Qi Xiaopeng's anger. Confused, he asked, "Mother, what's going on?"
Zhang Jingxue finally cast a glance at her younger son. "For these days, you'll be grounded. Use this time to think about your future path."
"You lack martial skills and can't endure hardship; that's fine, I don't expect much from you. But whether it's business, farming, or something else, you need to choose a path that can at least allow you to support yourself. No one can take care of you for a lifetime; ultimately, you'll have to rely on yourself."
Qi Xiaopeng continued to look at his mother in confusion. After listening to her heartfelt words, he decided not to oppose her anymore. "Fine, I've noticed you've been in a bad mood lately. If grounding me will help ease your anger, then I'll accept it. Just please don't let it affect your health."
"But when will I be allowed out?"
After your father's Birthday Banquet ends.
What?! Does that mean there won't be any excitement to see?
Whether it's a good banquet or not is still uncertain, and you still want to see the excitement.
Mother, what do you mean by not a good banquet?
Zhang Jingxue showed a face full of impatience. Qi Xiao Kun, being more perceptive, quickly pulled his younger brother away and sent him to the Confinement Room, calming him down before returning.
Inside, Zhang Jingxue and Sang Qingxiao were playing chess.
The lady had a remarkable skill in chess, accommodating me all the way; I felt my face turning red.
It was merely a pastime to kill time. I had no choice but to force myself to enjoy it due to boredom. Unlike Miss Sang, who possessed genuine talent.
You flatter me, madam.
Seeing Qi Xiao Kun return and obediently stand beside her, Zhang Jingxue asked, "Is that kid settled down?"
The third brother may have been defiant in words, but he knew better in his heart; he was quite well-behaved when he went in.
Zhang Jingxue snorted coldly and looked at Sang Qingxiao with a smile, saying, "I hope I haven't embarrassed Miss Sang."
