Xie Miao glanced at Xie Shu'er, looked up at Fang Xu who was sitting in the seat, and said softly, "Xie Miao lost his composure for a moment, please calm down, madam."
"It doesn't matter." Fang Xu waved his hand and repeated what he just said, "I just ask you, are you willing to be the concubine of the Hou Mansion?"
Xie Miao tightened her grip on her skirt, her deer eyes shining brightly. Before she could nod, Xie Shuer's scream came to her ears.
"Mother!" Xie Shuer's face flushed, her chest heaving up and down violently, she raised her finger and pointed at Xie Miao, and asked sternly, "Has mother gone so far to anger me? I am your biological daughter, she is just a child. How can the evil offspring born of a lowly maidservant be equal to me!"
After the words fell, Xie Miao's eyes gradually dimmed, his head lowered, and he remained silent.
She was used to being suppressed by Xie Shuer, and she had long given up on resisting.
"You said it wrong again." Fang Xu shook his head, looked at Xie Shu'er with a sad face, and whispered, "The Hou Mansion no longer wants you, you are no longer Miss Hou Mansion, Xie Miao has been corrected, you are not qualified to be with She’s an equal.”
"Mother, don't forget that the surname of this Marquis is Xie, not Fang!" Xie Shuer straightened her back, as if she was determined to fight Fang Xu to the end, "Fundamentally speaking, you are an outsider, what qualifications do you have?" Drive me out of the house?"
Hearing this, Pei Heng stood still, and Yang's heart also dropped.
Fang Xu smiled instead of being angry and called, "Su Zi."
"Madam." Su Zi stood behind her and responded.
"I don't understand something." Fang Xu fiddled with his fingers, lowered his head and smiled, "Who is the most powerful in this prince's mansion?"
"Of course it's you, madam." Su Zi was very discerning and ignored Xie Shu'er's murderous gaze, and spoke calmly, "Madam has given birth to three sons for the Marquis House. She supervises everything, so her status is naturally the highest."
"If I drive away the unfilial children, will I be guilty?" Fang Xu looked at Xie Shu'er with a smile, but he asked Su Zi.
"Madam, of course, there is nothing wrong with her. Madam, there is nothing wrong with anything at any time."
"Very good." Fang Xu nodded, sat upright, met Xie Shu'er's gaze, and said with a smile, "Miss Shu'er, did you hear clearly?"
"Okay, okay, okay!" Xie Shu'er was extremely angry and nodded, "My mother is so heartless, I have nothing to say! Since this prince's mansion cannot tolerate my Pei Lang, then I will leave my house and go with him!"
"I hope mother doesn't ask me to come back!" Xie Shu'er took a deep look at Fang Xu, then turned around, grabbed Pei Heng's big hand and walked out.
"Ouch! This is a crime!" Yang slapped her thigh hard, and was about to lift her butt to catch up, but she thought of something again. She picked up the famous tea next to her and drank it all in one gulp. Even though the tea was still steaming, she Totally ignored.
Yang drank all the tea before running after Pei and Xie.
After finally sending away the three debt collectors, Fang Xu was instantly relieved. He rubbed his numb temples and looked down at the two little people standing and sitting in the hall.
Seeing that the farce was over, Xie Li also put down his tea cup, stood up, dusted off his clothes, and bowed, "Mother, my son has not studied today. The teacher has assigned homework, so my son will leave first."
Fang Xu hummed, "Go ahead, pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and don't be too nervous."
Xie Li was startled and his long eyelashes trembled. He was silent for a few moments and then said, "Mom, you have worked too hard today. Please rest early."
"If you're interested, go and do your work." Fang Xu waved his hand, indicating that Xie Li could leave.
Xie Li stood up, and when he turned around, he raised his eyes to look at Xie Miao aside, his eyes were deep, and after just one glance, he withdrew his gaze and walked away slowly.
Seeing Xie Li walking out of the corner of the yard, Fang Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
This child is too sensitive, and he can catch him if he is not careful.
Just now, I was angry with Xie Changqing and insisted on driving away Xie Shu'er, which must have attracted his attention. If I try to cover up anything, I'm afraid it will be a waste of time.
In this case, she might as well do the opposite.
Xie Li's position was awkward. He was the middle child in the family. He was not as respected as his eldest son and not as favored as his younger daughter. He was completely careless about his younger son. He usually ignored him, let alone took the initiative to care about him.
For a smart person, there is no need to waste words. She takes the initiative to expose her flaws, and it is up to the latter to choose.
Seeing Fang Xu staring in the direction of the door, Xie Miao thought that those words of adoption just now were just a joke. His eyes were dim and dull, and he bowed and said, "Madam, I will also step down."
"Why are you leaving?" There was no one else in the room, and Fang Xu felt much more relaxed. He no longer held his posture upright, but looked friendly, "Don't worry, the family tree hasn't been entered yet."
Xie Miao froze, her clear eyes full of confusion, and asked softly, "Madam... are you serious?"
"Of course." Fang Xu chuckled, his eyes falling on her, "What I said is a certainty. Why, you don't want to be my daughter?"
Xie Miao blinked slightly, her nose slightly red, "Yes, I am willing!"
"The word "miao" is not good, it is too weak." Fang Xu thought for a moment and said softly, "Changed it to the word "wanzhou", which means that he has accumulated a lot and made rapid progress. Do you like it?"
Xie Miao's head was nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, which looked very interesting.
"Madam, the matter is done." Bai Ji walked into the hall carrying a man and said with a smile, "I have found the music composer in the mansion. The matter of recording the music can be done immediately."
Fang Xu nodded, beckoned Xie Miao, patted the empty seat beside him, "Just sit here and watch."
Xie Miao responded obediently and sat quietly aside, watching with her own eyes as the music scorer crossed out Xie Shuer's name and wrote her name one stroke at a time.
The only daughter of the Yongcheng Hou family, Xie Wanzhou.
"A new name is a new life. There is no need to recall the past." Fang Xu met those wet eyes and smiled, "I know how hard you have lived. In the future, no one will dare to bully you. You can stand up straight." Body, show me the style of the legitimate daughter of the Marquis Mansion."
"It's... mother." Xie Miao... no, it should be called Xie Wanzhou now. He nodded gently and bit his lower lip, unable to conceal his joy.
"The Marquis Mansion emphasizes the rules. You still have a lot to learn. Do you think this is a restriction or pressure?" Fang Xu turned sideways and looked at her, not wanting to miss any of the little girl's emotions.
"No." Xie Wanzhou shook his head obediently and responded in a low voice, "I understand that one must bear the weight of one's position. I grew up under the protection of the Marquis Mansion. Even if my mother asked me to marry the Shangshu Mansion, I can accept that too."
Fang Xu nodded with satisfaction, his eyes falling on the little girl's furry head, the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
Look, there are people in this world who are confused and there are people who are clear.
The two chatted for a while, and a little maid hurriedly came to report, "Madam, there is news from the Pine Garden that... the Crown Princess committed suicide..."
Fang Xu put down the tea cup in his hand, sighed, and stood up as if resigned to his fate.
Damn it, why is there so much going on in this shabby house!
