"Hmph!" Xiao Jing snorted coldly, hugged Xue Xuening and left.
Xiao Jinmin trotted behind him, but after running a few steps, he suddenly turned around and stared at Xie Wanyu with a vicious look before leaving.
For the first time, Xie Wanyu noticed that such an older child could have such eyes.
This incident caused such a big fuss that Xue Xuening was beaten until she was unconscious for three days.
After Mrs. Xiao found out about this, she felt much lighter. She had long been dissatisfied with Xue Xuening, and now Xie Wanyu vented her anger on her behalf.
So she simply pretended not to know.
Xie Wanyu also spent a few days relaxing and happy.
But after Xue Xuening woke up, she didn't know what she said to Xiao Jing and Xiao Jinmin. They both ran to Mrs. Xiao to complain.
They had already come to complain. Mrs. Xiao couldn't just sit back and ignore them, so she asked Xie Wanyu to come over and respond.
Tai'an Hall.
Xie Wanyu, wearing a fox fur coat, thick-soled Shu brocade boots, holding a stove in her hand, walked in with a noble look.
"Greetings to grandma." She nodded solemnly.
"Get up." Mrs. Xiao's expression was serious, "You stand and answer first."
Xie Wanyu glanced around and saw Xiao Jing and Xiao Jinmin sitting on both sides. She naturally knew what was going on, but her face was calm, "Yes."
Mrs. Xiao said, "I heard that you beat Xue Ning, is this true?"
"When I reply to my grandmother, I don't mean to beat her, but to use family law." Xie Wanyu said calmly.
Xiao Jing immediately became anxious, "Grandma, you heard it right? She actually used family methods on Xue Ning. She was really vicious. How can such a woman be worthy of being the mistress of the house?"
At this time, Xiao Jinmin also knelt down and said, "Great-grandmother, please use your family methods on her too, so that she knows what it feels like to hit someone casually."
He said through gritted teeth.
Mrs. Xiao didn't expect that Xiao Jinmin would not even call Xie Wanyu mother, but would complain to Xie Wanyu in person. Wasn't this an obvious attempt to break up the relationship? Then wouldn't all their efforts before have been in vain?
"Min'er, as a son, you must never say anything wrong about your mother." Mrs. Xiao reminded her.
Xiao Jinmin didn't realize his mistake at all, "Great-grandmother, I'm not here to help with the marriage, but she did it wrong."
Xie Wanyu sneered, "Who is she you are talking about? Why, you can call her Xue Xuening in my yard smoothly, but you can't call her in front of me?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao's expression changed and she looked at Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing lowered her head with a guilty conscience.
"This is nonsense." Mrs. Xiao said angrily, and couldn't help but cough a few times.
Xie Wanyu's expression remained unchanged, "Grandma, there is no need to be angry. Min'er called her mother very affectionately that day. I originally said that the eldest sister-in-law liked him. Since he also recognizes the eldest sister-in-law as his mother, then I will give way to Xian. After all, there are still people in my yard. There are four of them, which one can I choose to be my adopted son?"
At this time, Xiao Jinmin had some fear on his face.
He naturally knows what it means to be under Xie Wanyu's knees. He will become the heir in the future. If he becomes the adopted son of Dafang, let alone the position of heir, he may not even get the preferential treatment he has now.
When Xie Wanyu saw that he was scared, a smile appeared on her face.
Mrs. Xiao immediately said, "This is nonsense. It is not that easy to recognize a child. We have already opened an ancestral hall and recognized our ancestors. The child is not sensible. As an adult, let him do it."
"Grandma is right, but this child doesn't like me either. It just so happens that I don't like this child either, so why tie him up together."
Xie Wanyu said with a sneer.
Mrs. Xiao was worried that Xie Wanyu would not use the power of the Xie family to help Xiao Jinmin. Now Xiao Jinmin called Xue Xuening mother in front of Xie Wanyu, which annoyed her.
Suddenly, Mrs. Xiao was one and two times older. The thing she was most worried about had happened. Until now, she didn't know what to do.
For so many years, she had worked so hard to get Xie Wanyu to recognize this child. Now, all her efforts have been wasted?
Xiao Jing looked at Xie Wanyu, "A loving mother and a filial son, look at you, how can you act like a loving mother?"
"I don't have one, so I don't want to raise a son. It's you who insist on giving me a bastard!" Xie Wanyu finally said what she had been accumulating in her heart for a long time.
I felt relieved.
Xiao Jing's expression changed, "Xie Wanyu, shut up." He raised his hand to hit Xie Wanyu.
Xie Wanyu approached him and turned her face sideways, "Come on, you can come and fight, and we will break up when the time comes. If you raise a child of unknown origin, I would rather go down to the court and be an abandoned wife."
Mrs. Xiao looked at the messy house. It had been peaceful for a few days, and then it became like this again.
"Okay, okay, you think I'm dead." Mrs. Xiao slapped the table and said.
Xiao Jing then retracted her hand stiffly. He had never hit a woman before, and he didn't dare to really do it now.
Mrs. Xiao cleared her throat, "Aren't we talking about beating people? Wanyu, tell me, why did you use family methods on Xue Ning? Although she acted a little ridiculously, she didn't want to use family methods. situation."
In front of Xiao Jing, Mrs. Xiao rarely said a few words for Xue Xuening.
"Replying to my grandmother, three days ago, Mrs. He came over as a guest. When she was leaving, Xue Xuening stopped her and said that military generals are good, and that literati are useless and are scholars."
Xie Wanyu said, "Grandma, you know that He Jun is a civil servant."
"Is this happening?" Mrs. Xiao said.
However, none of them were curious about Xue Xuening taking the initiative to find trouble. She had indeed done such a thing.
Xiao Jing said angrily, "Then you can hit people?"
"Grandma, Mrs. He didn't want to argue with her because she was pregnant. Who knew she pushed Mrs. He over while her back was turned," Xie Wanyu said.
Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao tightly grasped the Buddhist beads in her hand, "How could this happen?"
"She said that her brother went off to war, and when he came back, her mother would be the emperor, and their family would be better off. She didn't care at all for the daughter of a mere marble young minister." Xie Wanyu added some extra details.
So Mrs. Xiao was very angry when she heard this.
"Xue Ning is the most gentle..." Xiao Jing wanted to intercede for Xue Xuening.
"Shut up." Mrs. Xiao was so angry that she pitifully failed to live up to her grandson's expectations.
Xie Wanyu continued, "I threw myself on the ground to save the first child of the He family. Grandma, do you know that if this child cannot be saved, then the He family will give up? Yes, the He family and the Lin family have small official positions, but the Lin family and the The King of Qin is related to us, so will the King of Qin stand on our side after this incident?"
Mentioning Tai Shuyi, the faces of the grandfather and grandson showed a look of fear.
"When the time comes, will handing over Xue Xuening be able to withstand the anger? Will the entire Hou Mansion be safe and unaffected? Grandma, if she hadn't gone too far, how could I have brought out the family law."
