My Foolish Husband Turned Out to Have a Hidden Identity Too

Chapter 145: Chapter 145: People of the Holy Realm Xiao Family (Part 1)

Holy Realm, Xiao Family.

Xiao Tianyu looked apologetically at the woman beside him, his voice gentle as he spoke, “I’m sorry, Yu’er. Recent events have made it necessary for you to stay here with me, preventing you from searching for our daughter.”

“My husband, there’s no need for so many words,” Madam Sheng Yue gently shook her head, her peerless beauty lifting into an elegant smile, “We are husband and wife, one entity. Who could have predicted that after tracking our daughter’s whereabouts, the Mu Family would harbor a traitor who then reported to the Nangong Family? Fortunately, I captured the person who had once sent our daughter away, preventing her whereabouts from being revealed to those people. A decade ago you, alone with your sword, took on the Nangong Family. We will not be intimidated now. However, we must cleanse the traitor before our daughter can come home. I do not wish for any mishaps to befall our daughter again.”

Xiao Tianyu sighed, pulling Madam Sheng Yue into his embrace and smiling, “My dear, we are close to purging the traitor, and soon we will be able to bring our daughter back to the family. Father has also been longing to meet our daughter. Is she really as formidable as you say?”

Perhaps thinking of the information obtained from that person, Madam Sheng Yue’s heart stirred with excitement.

So she was their daughter. No wonder there was an instinctual desire to draw near her at their first meeting, a connection that blood relations cannot sever. Her daughter had already met her before.

...

Not long ago, Madam Sheng Yue had captured that person from the Nangong Family, coerced him into revealing everything, and then had someone investigate outside the Saint Realm, only to obtain this result.

“She is indeed remarkable. Not only did she save Qingqing’s life, but she also won the Alchemy Conference, even contracting the cherished Phoenix Tripod of the conference. For someone of her young age to achieve so much, I feel proud of her.”

Xiao Tianyu smiled wryly, “Well, who else’s daughter would she be? Yu’er and my daughter is bound to be outstanding. But hearing you put it this way makes me even more eager to meet our daughter. So, my dear, let’s hasten to dispel the traitor and bring our daughter home.”

If the traitor is not purged, he would feel uneasy about bringing his precious daughter back to the family.

“By the way, my husband, I heard Xiao Min has gone to the outside world. Could she be damaging our Xiao Family’s reputation again?” Madam Sheng Yue frowned slightly, her eyes clearly showing dissatisfaction.

“Because of this woman, people in the Saint Realm think all the young ladies of our Xiao Family are arrogant and overbearing. She’s just from a side branch after all, what makes her a Lady Xiao? Relying on her Grandpa being an elder in our clan, she acts recklessly. Just last time, she even tried to acknowledge us as her foster parents, delusionally attempting to elevate her side branch status to that of the direct lineage. We refused, but she then had her grandpa announce that I had already accepted her as my daughter, infuriating me to the point where I wanted to slap her right there.”

Madam Sheng Yue’s expression soured, no one in such a situation would be in a good mood.

“If you feel like slapping her, just do it. Why care so much?” Xiao Tianyu looked tenderly at Madam Sheng Yue and said, “Don’t forget, you are Madam Sheng Yue, the most prestigious woman in the Saint Realm. You need not worry so much, nor spare my feelings. That old man and his granddaughter are indeed too arrogant. If you don’t assert your authority as Madam Sheng Yue now, they certainly won’t start respecting you.”

Madam Sheng Yue chuckled softly, giving him a reproachful glance, “You don’t need to tell me, I won’t endure it for the Xiao Family any longer, lest some people fail to respect me.”
