Kapitel 1027: Chapter 1027: Return unto Others as They Have Done unto You (4)

"Ah, listening to you all talk, it does sound plausible! Right after Elder Sir Xiao passed away, General Xiao went off to the battlefield. That year, the general was only thirteen and dared to fight the enemy with a real blade. Could he have done that if he had grown up pampered by his parents? It must have been without Elder Sir Xiao's protection, forced by someone else!"

"Good heavens, maybe that's true. It seems the waters run deep at the Lord Wei Yuan House! Tsk, tsk, I'd heard before that where there's a stepmother, there's a stepfather, and I didn't believe it. But now, after hearing you all, I do think that Lord Wei Yuan isn't any good either. Who knows if he's also siding with that woman, scheming against his own son? Alas, the Hou Mansion is simply no place for anyone. It's a wonder how General Xiao has endured all these years. If it were me, I'd probably have been hounded to death by a pack of those vicious-hearted people."
