Not surprisingly, it was Grandma Xie who spoke out against it.
Xie Xiuwen had already anticipated her attitude.
Even if she adopts another person, the old lady will not let go.
"Mother, I have reached an agreement with the clan leader, and Xie Xiaolang has no father or mother, so it is perfect to adopt him. If you feel that his renunciation is detrimental to you, the worst case is that I will take them to move out. .”
Grandma Xie's eyelids twitched: "Okay, second brother, your wings are so stiff that you dare to disobey your mother? Don't forget that you are a scholar. Don't you want fame?"
"My mother's words were wrong. Her son only had one daughter, and her mother always said that her son had no successor, so she had no choice but to adopt the idea. But the adoption of the little wolf made the mother dissatisfied, so she proposed to move out. This will also prevent the little wolf’s destiny from infringing on you and your father again.”
Grandpa Xie's eyes flashed. What the second brother meant was clearly hinting at the separation of the family.
Grandpa Xie is not stupid. No matter whether the second child can win the prize or not, even if he has the status of a scholar, it is an honor for the family and must not be let go.
Grandma Xie's face was gloomy, "You are obviously being messy! I tell you, as long as I live, you are not allowed to adopt Xiaolang Xie."
"Mother, if that's the case, then my son will also tell you his attitude. I have no intention of taking a concubine. If Mrs. Liu can give birth, she will give birth to her. If she can't, we still have a daughter like Guobao. You don't allow me to adopt Xie Xiaolang. Could it be that you want me to adopt a concubine?" Is he the adopted eldest brother or the third brother’s son?”
Grandma Xie's eyes widened and she said angrily: "You are so impudent! Your eldest brother and three younger brothers are all fine, why do you want to adopt a son in your name? You are incapable of giving birth to a son, yet you dare to take advantage of your nephew. Your intentions are too sinister!"
Xie Xiuwen's smile was full of sarcasm. Did he have sinister intentions?
"Father, mother, I don't have to inherit Xiaolang as my son, but I want to send the Gao family to the official, and even the eldest brother may be severely punished. I wonder if father and mother can agree?"
Grandpa Xie's expression changed: "Second brother, what do you mean?"
Grandma Xie's face changed rapidly: "You, what are you going to do? Do you have to make the house uneasy to feel at ease?"
Xie Xiuwen smiled bitterly and said: "Mom, I am about to take the provincial examination, but you have arranged for a young stranger couple to take care of me. What is your purpose?"
Mr. Xie was startled, and then looked at his old wife suspiciously. Obviously, he was unaware.
Grandma Xie's eyes flickered a few times: "I'm just worried about you being out alone. Douzi is young. You have to prepare some things to take the provincial examination, so I asked someone to take care of you. Is this wrong?"
Grandma Xie already knew that the couple had not been able to meet Xie Xiuwen smoothly, so naturally it was impossible for her to take action. Now she just hoped that her son would not live up to expectations and never win the talent examination.
Although Mr. Xie was a little suspicious, he still didn't think much about it. After all, this was their biological son. As a mother, she wouldn't have any thoughts of harming her own son, right?
Xie Xiuwen chuckled: "Since the mother said it was all out of good intentions, the son will believe it. Let's talk about adoption again. If Xiaolang can't become my son, then I will sue Gao for murdering my wife. In the government office, mother doesn’t have to think about covering up for her. I have found the midwife back then, and I also know all the benefits that Mrs. Gao promised her. If mother doesn’t believe it, you can ask Mrs. Gao.”
Xie Xiuwen didn't even want to call her "sister-in-law" anymore, which showed that he hated this woman deeply!
If it weren't for Mr. Gao, how could Xie Xiuwen face such a dilemma?
No matter how much he didn't care about Ziyi, he still wanted to have a son who could be his savior.
In other words, whether he wants it or not is one thing, but whether he can want it after being harmed is another matter.
Grandma Xie's eyes shrank, she naturally knew what happened back then.
What's more, Gao's actions back then were also approved by her.
Who would have known that after so many years, Xie Xiuwen would find the midwife and make a big deal out of it!
Grandpa Xie didn't have much thought and immediately shouted out.
Douzi was waiting outside the door. As soon as he heard the order, he immediately went to find the big house and his wife.
Now that the matter has come to this, whether Mr. Gao admits it or not, he will inevitably be suspected by Mr. Xie.
With a look of fear on his face, Mrs. Gao naturally did not dare to recognize him.
But her guilty state was clearly equivalent to an admission of guilt in the eyes of everyone.
"Mr. Gao, you plotted to kill my wife, and this hatred will never end! Do you think you will be fine if you don't admit it? Now that I have found the midwife, I can naturally find more evidence. Or, as a scholar, I can directly Report it to the government office and ask your Majesty to make the decision for me. Maybe I can find the evidence faster."
When Xie Xiuran heard this, his face turned pale.
"No!"
Mr. Gao was also trembling with fear: "Second brother, second brother, please listen to my explanation. I really didn't mean it back then. Everything was a coincidence. It's a coincidence. Second brother, please be kind and spare me this time." Well, if you really sue me to the government office, then Brother Hui's future will be ruined. If Brother Hui studies well, he will definitely be able to do something in the future! Dad, please do it for Brother Hui's sake For my sake, please advise my second brother."
As soon as Mr. Xie heard the name of his eldest grandson, he made a decision in his heart.
"Second brother, if you want to succeed Xiaolang, it's up to you to be a father. As for the Liu family, I won't let your mother embarrass her anymore. What happens in the future is up to you and your wife."
The implication is that they will never interfere in the affairs of his house again. It is up to them to decide whether to take concubines and have children.
Grandma Xie raised her head suddenly. If this was the case, then this son would be completely out of her control. How could she allow it?
"It's a fact that Mrs. Liu can't have children, and it was true that she suffered from dystocia in the first place. If the midwife hadn't done anything, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to conceive Yi again. Why do you blame your sister-in-law for all the faults?"
Xie Xiuwen raised his eyebrows. Even though he had been mentally prepared for it, he still felt a little sad to hear that his biological mother was so partial to his eldest daughter-in-law.
"What does mother mean, is it okay for the Gao family to murder his sister-in-law? In this case, we can ask the clan leader to make the decision. If the clan leader can't make a clear decision, I will give up the title of scholar and go to the government office to complain. One condition!"
Mr. Xie glared at his old wife fiercely. The matter was already here, why would he still anger his son?
"enough!"
After all, Mr. Xie is the head of the family. As soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent.
"I let the second brother make the decision on this matter. Mrs. Gao, you murdered your sister-in-law first and then made things difficult for her. This is a big mistake! Go kowtow to Mrs. Liu later and admit your mistake. If you dare to bully the second daughter-in-law again in the future, I will It’s my decision to divorce you!”
