He almost said it through gritted teeth, obviously dissatisfied.
Xie Wanyu didn't care about offending him. Anyway, there was never a day when this child didn't hate her from the beginning to the end.
Of course, Xie Wanyu is not that virtuous, so he must be allowed to study hard.
Xie Wanyu sat at the table, took a sip of tea, and then raised her eyes to look at Xiao Jinmin.
"Where are you going?"
Xiao Jinmin glanced at Xie Wanyu, his eyelids drooping slightly, as if this could hide all his emotions, but he didn't know that his tight lips had betrayed him, "Just, just look everywhere."
"Min'er, I haven't seen you once before. I gave you a chance out of consideration for your face." Xie Wanyu said softly.
Her tone was not harsh, but it was this gentle tone that carried an indescribable sense of oppression.
Xiao Jinmin was so young after all that he couldn't resist and fell to his knees directly, "It's a son who is ashamed of his mother's instructions."
For a while, the room was extremely quiet.
There were only a few birds chirping occasionally outside the window.
After a long time, Xie Wanyu spoke, "I have always been generous. Please tell me what you went to the West Courtyard for. If it is important, I will not punish you."
In fact, Xie Wanyu knew very well that Xue Xuening had not gotten any benefits from her and was depressed these days.
As a biological son, Xiao Jinmin naturally wanted to comfort his mother.
Although this Xiao Jinmin is a white-eyed wolf, he can be considered filial, at least he treats his biological father and mother with all his heart.
Xiao Jinmin's thin lips moved, but he was speechless. His appearance was obviously very good, but his eyes were dim and unclear, which made him feel gloomy.
He couldn't say that he just wanted to see his biological mother, so there was no way to explain it.
"I don't understand. You are an adopted son in my name, and all your food and clothing expenses come from my room. What are you doing in the West Courtyard?" Xie Wanyu showed a look of realization, "By the way, I suddenly remembered that my eldest sister-in-law was very fond of you back then, and since you also liked her, why not just put you in her name directly, but now that my eldest sister-in-law has nothing to do, my eldest sister-in-law is also living a lonely life."
Xiao Jinmin immediately became nervous, "Mom, I know I was wrong, really."
Pei'er couldn't help but said, "Madam, the second young master will never have such thoughts. No matter what, he is just the eldest son of a concubine."
"The son just wants to be filial in front of his mother and never thinks about anything else. When he goes there, he sees Mrs. Ning being pitiful. Her mother treats others generously. The child obeys her teachings and never dares to forget them." He said with a trembling voice.
Xie Wanyu nodded, "Since you think so, that's the best thing." After a pause, "But you made a mistake, and I have to punish you. Remember, I am doing it for your own good."
After speaking, she looked at Zhufang.
Zhufang understood immediately and took out a ruler from the rattan box.
"Stretch out your hand." Xie Wanyu said, "I want my left hand."
Xiao Jinmin hesitated and looked behind him. It was only because Pei'er screamed at him that he didn't even have time to move reinforcements, so he was dragged over so forcefully.
He had never been beaten since he was a child, and now he was extremely anxious.
He could only rely on himself, "Mother, no one is a saint, no one can make mistakes, but they can be corrected, and there is no greater good."
Xie Wanyu shook her head, "It's not that I didn't give you a chance."
"But!" He raised his head, his eyes not only unyielding, but also filled with a bit of hatred, "Is it because I'm not your biological child, so you don't even know how to feel sorry for me!"
Xie Wanyu sneered, and sure enough, her true face was revealed, "How can you say that? It's a waste of my efforts to cultivate you!"
"Cultivation? If you really want to cultivate me, why don't you send me to Xie Family Academy?" Xiao Jinmin's eyes grew colder, "What did I do that was not good enough to make you hate me so much?"
"My child, do you know whose hand you are living under, and you dare to talk to me like this?" Xie Wanyu bent down and asked.
Xiao Jinmin's pupils shrank, as if he realized that he had made a mistake at this moment, and he lowered his head in a hurry, "I'm just not convinced, I didn't do anything wrong."
Xie Wanyu glanced at Pei'er and Zhufang, "Looks like I can't be polite anymore."
The two of them understood immediately, and one of them grabbed Xiao Jinmin and forced him to stretch out his left hand.
Xie Wanyu slapped him down.
Just for a moment, she thought of this child, what the child she had carefully cultivated did to her, and that face, she would never forget.
Although hatred lingers in her mind, Xie Wanyu still has a shred of reason left.
Xiao Jinmin was only beaten ten times. His left hand became red and swollen, but it was not serious. Xie Wanyu was somewhat merciful.
But for Xiao Jinmin, this was not just pain in his hands, but also humiliation.
When Zhufang and Pei'er released their hands, he immediately stood up and ran away without looking back.
But Xie Wanyu could never forget his angry look.
"Madam, the second young master must have filed a complaint." Zhufang sighed and said worriedly.
"Let him go. Since I beat him, I'm not afraid of him complaining." Xie Wanyu said with a sneer.
I don't know how much favor this child has experienced, but he can't bear such a little grievance. It's no wonder that Xie Wanyu will be hated by him.
Sure enough, before nightfall, Mrs. Xiao sent someone to send a message to Xie Wanyu to have dinner at Tai'an Hall.
Xie Wanyu had already packed it up, and she had guessed that she would definitely launch an attack to investigate.
"Madam, why don't I ask you to report your illness to me?" Zhu Fang said worriedly.
Xie Wanyu shook her head, "You can't avoid what's coming."
She straightened her appearance in the mirror. Some things couldn't be solved, and she couldn't detoxify them with peace of mind.
Just as he was about to go out, he saw Pei'er and Zhufang following closely, "Pei'er, you and Grandma He are looking after the house."
Pei'er has a direct temper and has endless hatred for Xue Xuening. Xie Wanyu is worried that if she can't control her emotions and does something outrageous, it will be bad if someone catches her.
Xie Wanyu cannot be there all the time.
Tai'an Hall.
Mrs. Xiao was sitting at the head of the table, with a forehead wipe tied on her head, and a look of bitterness and hatred on her face.
Too many things had happened recently, which added a few wrinkles to her already well-maintained skin.
Aunt Feng stood beside Mrs. Xiao and gently tapped her shoulders.
Xiao Jinmin's hands were wrapped into a big rice dumpling, and Mrs. Xiao was sent to the backyard to rest. After all, he was his own grandson, so it was impossible for her not to feel distressed.
After a while, Xie Wanyu walked in and said, "Greetings to grandma."
Mrs. Xiao originally closed her eyes to rest, but when she heard Xie Wanyu's voice, she opened her eyes, looked her up and down, and barely made a sound from her nasal cavity.
Xie Wanyu didn't care. She didn't know how Xiao Jinmin filed the complaint. Anyway, the old lady must be very unhappy looking at her now.
She took care of herself and sat down under Mrs. Xiao, "Grandma is not feeling well?"
"None of you can give me peace of mind." Mrs. Xiao said angrily.
