When Old Lady Xiao heard Xiao Hanzheng call her that, she frowned.

"What kind of wife did you marry? She has led you astray."

Her grandson must have learned it from that wretched girl.

Xiao Hanzheng's expression became a little paler. "My wife is very good. I don't need to worry about her."

He continued, "Just tell me why you're here."

Old Lady Xiao walked over and sat down. "I heard that you are now awake, so I came to see you."

Xiao Hanzheng did not say anything and waited for her next verse.

Old Lady Xiao's eyes looked around the courtyard. "Have you finished exchanging your tofu?"

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. "Yes."

Old Lady Xiao saw that Xiao Hanzheng's attitude was very cold and very unhappy.

However, when she thought about the purpose of her visit today, she resisted the urge to throw a tantrum.

"I just heard that a horse carriage sent you a lot of things?"

Xiao Hanzheng raised his eyebrows. "Whether it did or not, what does that have to do with you?

"If I remember correctly, we have already broken off ties and separated. No matter how our family lives, it has nothing to do with you, right?"

He paused and said, "Back then when I was unconscious, my mother went to the old residence to ask for help, that reply came personally from you."

Because he had been studying in the old residence, although the expenses were mainly supported by his grandfather and the allowance he earned from copying books, the others were not happy.

It was as if he had taken advantage of the family and had been criticizing him since he was young.

The more they were like this, the more he wanted to change his fate and protect his mother, little brother, and little sister.

After he was admitted as a tongsheng, the people in the old house changed their attitudes towards him a lot.

Therefore, as long as he was at home, he could fight for some benefits for his mother and his siblings.

When he was admitted as an elementary scholar, these people's attitudes became better again, and they even started to praise him.

They only wanted him to include Xiao family's land into the list of households exempted from taxes, to gain some glory as his relatives and have more face when they went out.

He knew what kind of morals these people had, so he didn't fall for their tricks.

Sure enough, once his scumbag father came back and found out that he had become a general, all the relatives in the old residence began to regard him with utmost respect.

After knowing that his scumbag father loved that woman, these people tried all sorts of tricks, just to please that woman.

His scumbag father threatened him to break off their kinship and these people also backed him up.

That was how later he ended bringing his mother and his siblings out and living separately from them.

Of course, it was also because they were so snobbish that he was able to live separately as he wished.
