Chapter 1451: 1451 flexes 2 Chapter 1451: 1451 flexes 2 “This matter is settled, now take your people and get out of my Tao Mansion immediately!” Tao Meijiao waved her hand dismissively.

Only then did Qin Liang, feeling aggrieved, lead his twenty men towards the exit of the hall.

The family servant who had pushed Master Tao lagged behind, incessantly bowing to Master Tao, “Master Tao, I was blind to recognize Mount Tai; I never expected that you could become relatives with the Xiao Family in the capital. That push I gave you earlier, it was against my will. I am simply loyal to my young master. What my young master commands, I dare not disobey… ”
Upon hearing this, Qin Liang shouted from up ahead, “Are you trying to pin all the blame on me? Tired of living, aren’t you!”

“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare!”

Qin Liang kicked him twice, and the group of people left in a grand procession.

After they had gone, the father and daughter of the Tao family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Master Tao rebuked, “Daughter, it’s father’s incompetence that made you invent such an unclean lie about Xiao Yishan to scare Qin Liang away. You’ve been wronged.”

He truly didn’t believe that his daughter could have anything to do with that rough man. After all, the man his daughter liked was Xiao Qinghe, so how could she possibly be involved with Xiao Yishan?

Tao Meijiao knelt before her father, “Father, it wasn’t a lie. It’s true.”

Shock filled Master Tao’s eyes, followed by anger almost making him faint, “Tell me, when did it happen? How did you…”

Too ashamed to admit she had drugged Xiao Qinghe but had ended up with Xiao Yishan by mistake, Meijiao simply stated, “During my visit at the Xiao Mansion, I saw Xiao Yishan as a sincere person and just got… confused for a moment.”

“Do you ever use your brain!” Master Tao’s expression darkened, “How could that illiterate rough man be worthy of you? Let’s pretend this never happened!”

“He can read,” said Tao Meijiao. “Su Qingyue taught the Xiao Family’s three sons to read when she was in Wushan Village.”

“So what? Regardless, he’s just a yokel from the mountain village, not a match for you!”

“Father, I know I have been foolish,” Tao Meijiao’s face was calm with acceptance, “I regret the mistake I made. But…” she closed her eyes briefly, “these past few days, I haven’t been feeling well. I secretly sought a doctor for a consultation… I am already more than a month pregnant.”

This time, Master Tao genuinely fainted with anger.

Meijiao immediately had the servants carry him to bed and called for a doctor, who stated that Master Tao was simply overly emotional and angry.

The doctor left some calming medicine after advising against upsetting him further.

Tao Meijiao stayed by her father’s bedside. Master Tao opened his eyes and seeing his daughter’s haggard face, felt a pang of pity, “Daughter, you have truly been foolish!”

She knelt down hurriedly, “Father, your daughter knows her mistake, but the mistake is irreparable. I had thought to act as if it had never happened, but to my utter shock, I am pregnant with Xiao Yishan’s child.”

“At this point, blaming you is pointless. What do you plan to do?”

“I belong to Xiao Yishan now. The words are out, and I suppose very soon, everyone in the town will know that I have been involved with Xiao Yishan, and no one will want to marry into the Tao Mansion,” Tao Meijiao said with a bitter smile. “Father, this past month, I have continuously met with suitors, from young masters of humble families with clean backgrounds, to well-to-do playboys, merchants, bosses–I’ve met so many. The poor court for our property, and which of the wealthy aren’t surrounded by concubines? But Xiao Yishan’s character is honest and decent. Although he has had two women before, I am fully aware, and it wasn’t his fault, and it’s all in the past.”
