Estranged Couple

"Besides, Young Master Xiao hasn't even had his own courtyard since he returned a month ago. He's been living in the servants' quarters without a single complaint."

Butler Li said slowly.

The moment these words came out, The entire area fell deathly silent.

As if frozen in place, Xiao Zhentian's pupils suddenly contracted.

Xiao Chen!

In this vast Zhenbei King Manor, he doesn't even have a courtyard of his own?

How could this be?

Even some of the lowliest collateral descendants in the Zhenbei King Manor have their own luxurious courtyards.

Xiao Lingtian even has three courtyards in different locations, so he can change residences at any time according to his preferences.

Xiao Chen, as the eldest son of the Zhenbei King Manor, was actually arranged to live in the servants' quarters?

Wen Wanrong also turned her head in shock, unwilling to believe what she was hearing.

Her eldest son has been back for so long, and he doesn't even have a courtyard in the Zhenbei King Manor?

And she, as his mother, has been kept in the dark until now.

This is simply a huge joke.

Wen Wanrong was so saddened that tears streamed down her face.

Now that she thinks about it, ever since Xiao Chen was brought back, she seems to have only been by her youngest son's side, never once going to see where her eldest son lived.

She is truly an unfit mother.

No wonder her eldest son wants to sever their mother-son relationship today!

"Li Qi, how dare you! Young Master Xiao has been back for so long, and you haven't even arranged a courtyard for him. What is your punishment?"

Seeing Wen Wanrong so heartbroken, Xiao Zhentian immediately roared.

Li Qi's face turned pale, and he knelt down to explain, "Your Grace, please calm your anger. It was Young Master Xiao (Lingtian) who found this old servant and said that he was conveying Your Grace's orders to have Young Master Xiao (Chen) live in the servants' quarters."

As soon as he finished speaking, Everyone present had a drastic change in expression, and shock appeared in their eyes.

Xiao Lingtian did it?

He himself has three of the best-located courtyards in the manor, yet he made his savior, his own brother, live in the servants' quarters?

If it was really ordered by the Zhenbei King, that would be one thing!

But looking at the Zhenbei King's reaction, he clearly doesn't know!

It's likely that Xiao Lingtian falsely conveyed the order!

And it's been over a month.

The Zhenbei King and his wife are completely unaware.

This shows that they haven't even visited their eldest son's residence once.

Utter neglect!

At this moment, Many servants couldn't help but feel a trace of pity.

Xiao Chen is having too miserable of a time in the Zhenbei King Manor!

More miserable than them!

At least they won't be plotted against by their own family!

"Lingtian, did you do this?"

Wen Wanrong questioned with red eyes, and Xiao Lingtian's forehead was covered in fine beads of cold sweat, his body appearing somewhat stiff.

"Mother, he's just a good-for-nothing, how could he be worthy of my Xiao family's courtyard, I..."

Xiao Lingtian gritted his teeth.

Wen Wanrong's face immediately showed a stern expression, and she scolded, "You shut your mouth! He is your brother, your blood-related kin, how dare you treat him like this?"

At this moment, She is truly angry!

She never expected that her youngest son, whom she had painstakingly taught for more than ten years, would do such a terrible thing!

Is this still the perfect child in her heart?

Looking at the anger in her mother's eyes, Xiao Lingtian was immediately stunned, then a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.

His mother, who had never spoken a harsh word to him no matter how many mistakes he made in the past, was now getting so angry at him for the sake of that good-for-nothing Xiao Chen?

That good-for-nothing really deserves to die!

"Mother, he's just a good-for-nothing whose dantian is shattered, you..."

The more Xiao Lingtian thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but blurt out.

"Impudent! Are you still being stubborn? He's not a good-for-nothing, he's your older brother! If he hadn't risked his life to block a palm strike for you back then, you would have died long ago!"

"You have good aptitude, but even with your good aptitude, you're only Top-Tier Heavenly Realm, while he was born with a King Physique. If it weren't for saving you, would it be your turn to be sarcastic here?"

"We left him in Desolate Town for three years without asking or caring, which was already unfair to him. Now that he's finally back and reunited with our family, you're still trying to target him in every possible way. You're simply going too far!"

"Since he came back, he has been respectful and loving to us, and tolerant to you in every way. Isn't that enough? And what about you? What have you done? Snatched his fiancée, arranged for him to live in the servants' quarters? No wonder he wanted to sever ties with us today! I wouldn't want to stay in a house like this either!"

Wen Wanrong completely erupted.

Seeing his mother like this, Xiao Lingtian was so frightened that he trembled all over and didn't dare to say a word.

As she spoke.

Wen Wanrong's tears fell again uncontrollably, and she said with heartache and self-blame, "I'm such a failure as a mother. My son has suffered so much, but I didn't know anything about it, and I even cooperated with you to make him give up the engagement!"

"I knew he liked Ye Qingxuan so much, but I still made such an excessive request! I'm not human! I deserve to die!"

Since Xiao Chen came back.

She always felt that she didn't have much affection for this child.

After all, Xiao Chen had been away from home for too long.

Wen Wanrong's heart was all on Xiao Lingtian.

When Xiao Lingtian proposed that Xiao Chen give up the engagement to him.

She had hesitated.

She felt that it was a bit cruel to Xiao Chen.

After all, he liked Ye Qingxuan so much.

But when Xiao Lingtian didn't eat anything for a whole day, and there was a hint of haggardness on his face.

She softened!

She compromised!

She felt that Xiao Chen was the older brother and had an obligation to give in to his younger brother.

As for a wife.

She could just find him one later.

Xiao Chen was so obedient.

He shouldn't have any objections.

Unexpectedly, this became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Xiao Chen completely exploded because of this.

Thinking of this.

Wen Wanrong felt extremely guilty.

She always felt that she wasn't biased towards either of her two sons, but the things she did were exaggeratedly biased.

Her eldest son had suffered in Desolate Town for three years, and she hadn't asked a single question.

Her youngest son just didn't eat for a day, and she felt so distressed!

It's no wonder that Xiao Chen was so determined to sever ties with them today.

Anyone in Xiao Chen's position would probably be unable to bear it!

Why was she, as a mother, so excessive?

Once, she also loved her eldest son so much.

Was it just because he was ambushed by enemies and his dantian was shattered while saving his younger brother!

Should she dislike him for that?

At this moment, she finally saw her hypocritical face clearly, and she was extremely painful and full of regret!

Looking at Wen Wanrong, who was almost crying, Xiao Zhentian's eyes flashed with a trace of heartache, and he stepped forward to comfort her, "Madam, Lingtian was wrong this time, but he's still young and hasn't seen Xiao Chen for so many years, so it's understandable that he can't accept it for a while. We'll teach him slowly!"

In fact, he also felt that Xiao Lingtian had gone too far in this matter!

But now that Xiao Chen had become a cripple, only Xiao Lingtian was left as the only seedling!

The future of the Xiao family depended entirely on him.

He couldn't be too harsh either!

As soon as he finished speaking.

Wen Wanrong suddenly raised her head, a trace of coldness flashing in her eyes, "Xiao Zhentian, Chen'er was forced to leave home by him, and you're still protecting him?"

"Is he your son, but Chen'er isn't?"

"Does acting like this make you worthy of being called a father?"

"I'm telling you, if you don't bring Chen'er back to me, Wen Wanrong will never be done with you father and son!"

With that said.

Wen Wanrong transformed into a stream of light, disappearing directly in front of Xiao Zhentian and his son.

She was also a powerful martial arts expert.

"My lady, you..."

Xiao Zhentian was dumbfounded.

The usually gentle and intellectual Wen Wanrong had actually gotten so angry for Xiao Chen this time!

In a short amount of time.

Father and son estranged!

Husband and wife turned against each other!

Even Xiao Zhentian, with his heaven-reaching cultivation, found it hard to bear.

A hint of exhaustion flashed in his eyes.

"Father, what is Mother doing? Isn't it just a good-for-nothing who left? Why is she so upset? Don't you still have me?"

Xiao Lingtian looked at Wen Wanrong's departing figure, not only failing to recognize his own mistakes, but also placing all his resentment on Xiao Chen.

If it weren't for that good-for-nothing.

His parents' hearts would be entirely on him!

How could they possibly get angry at him?
