Xie Wanyu was filled with indignation and spoke righteously, "I'm not doing it for myself, I'm doing it for the entire Hou Mansion."
Mrs. Xiao nodded unconsciously. Xie Wanyu was right. If Xue Xuening really caused a big disaster, it would affect the Hou Mansion.
At this time, Xiao Jing stopped talking.
"Furthermore, she does things without considering the consequences, and Min'er is always by her side. She can cause little trouble by herself. If she educates her children badly, grandma, the bad things a woman can do are only limited to one third of an acre, but not a man. , if she is really led astray, what kind of punishment will our Houfu receive? Exile, confiscation of homes, beheading..."
Every time Xie Wanyu said something, Mrs. Xiao flinched. She was really scared.
Xiao Jing stopped talking, and they all seemed to have thought about the consequences.
Only Xiao Jinmin saw that Xiao Jing was silent and said hurriedly, "Father, my son will not be led astray. He studies very hard."
Xiao Jing nodded, "I know, I know."
"Grandma, so if I don't have to, I will never use family methods." Xie Wanyu said sincerely.
Mrs. Xiao nodded and agreed with Xie Wanyu's statement.
Immediately afterwards, Xie Wanyu continued, "Grandma, in order to prevent her from bringing up a bad child, why not send her to Zhuangzi? The child has already called her mother, which shows the great influence."
Upon hearing this, both father and son's expressions changed.
Xiao Jing said hurriedly, "No, grandma, no, her injury has not healed yet. If she goes to Zhuangzi, she may not survive."
"You are such a vicious woman." Xiao Jinmin pointed directly at Xie Wanyu.
"Okay, you are so rebellious." Xie Wanyu said.
Mrs. Xiao did not answer immediately, but rubbed her chin and thought for a long time. Xue Xuening had no background after all, but now that the legitimate son of the Xue family was on the battlefield, if he made military exploits, it would be quite helpful to Xiao Jing.
In unknown circumstances, she cannot offend others rashly.
After thinking for a while, Mrs. Xiao said, "Let's let her recover from her injuries at home first, and then we can make a decision after her injuries heal."
"Thank you, grandma." Xiao Jing's face was filled with joy.
At this time, Xiao Jinmin tugged on Xiao Jing's sleeve.
Because they promised her before Xue Xuening's bed that they would avenge her. Now that their enemy is right in front of them, they can't forget it.
Xiao Jing came to her senses and said, "Grandma, Xie Wanyu was so cruel that she was almost beaten to death by Xue Ning, and she also hurt Min'er. No matter what, she must be punished."
Xie Wanyu looked at Xiao Jing, "How does the Marquis plan to punish me?"
"Grandma, there are three types of unfilial piety. The worst is not having an offspring. She has been in the house for many years and has not given birth to a son. She has violated the rule of seven outings. I want to divorce her." Xiao Jing said word by word.
Madam Xiao was so angry that without the Xie family, how could the Xiao family have a stable position.
"It's a taboo to divorce your wife, don't mess around." She slapped the table and said.
Xie Wanyu paused and opened her sleeves, "I am still here with the guardian sand. Is it because I can't give birth, or is it something else?"
Xiao Jing didn't even look at it, "You were poisoned and you would have been unable to have heirs for a long time."
"Master Hou, you also know, but who caused me to be like this?" Xie Wanyu said coldly, "I was persecuted like this in the Xiao family. It's just that I didn't get my husband's heartache, but I actually took advantage of others' danger. For abandoning me over this matter, Lord Marquis, are you shameless?"
In terms of eloquence, Xiao Jing is definitely not as good as Xie Wanyu.
So he moved his lips, but could only look at Mrs. Xiao.
Mrs. Xiao knew that her grandson was stupid, so she said, "Okay, it's normal for husband and wife to be noisy. You can't divorce your wife just because of a trivial matter, and let the news spread and make people laugh."
"Grandma is right." Xiao Jing said immediately, "In that case, let her hand over the power of the housekeeper."
In a wealthy family, the matron can not only control the family's money, but also have the right to enforce family laws.
Xiao Jing did this because she listened to Xue Xuening.
Xue Xuening has a dark heart and is a very vengeful person. After suffering such a big loss this time, she will definitely not let it go.
She specifically asked Xiao Jing to propose divorcing his wife, and knowing that Mrs. Xiao would not agree, she retreated and asked Xie Wanyu to hand over the power of the housekeeper.
Mrs. Xiao would not divorce her wife for Xiao Jing's sake, and she would agree to this matter in order to make the big thing a trivial matter.
Xie Wanyu saw that Xiao Jing was not disappointed after being rejected by Mrs. Xiao, but instead proposed that Xie Wanyu hand over the power of the housekeeper, and she immediately understood his intention.
But she didn't say anything, but looked at Mrs. Xiao.
Mrs. Xiao lowered her eyes and spoke after a long while, "Wanyu has been worried about the housekeeper for many years. This time, Xue Ning was really hurt too much. She lives as a widow in the Hou Mansion and is also a poor person. Wanyu Ah, you should take a rest for now."
She also did this to appease Xiao Jing and Xiao Jinmin.
Sure enough, after hearing Mrs. Xiao's decision, the father and son laughed like fools.
Xie Wanyu readily agreed.
This time the farce has come to an end.
On the same day, Xie Wanyu asked someone to hand over the account book and the key to Mrs. Xiao, and then she was happy and relaxed, lying in the house eating and drinking.
It's just that all the servants of the big family are flattering and disdainful.
After Xie Wanyu handed over the housekeeping rights, the people in the kitchen became neglectful. The meals served to Xie Wanyu were either cold or salty, and the new-style snacks that were just made were not given to Xie Wanyu first.
Xie Wanyu simply hired a cook herself and started a small stove in the small kitchen in her courtyard.
She has money anyway.
In fact, she could also guess that it was not just the slaves who were flattering and suppressing others, but Xiao Jing was probably also explaining something behind his back.
After that, Xie Wanyu's courtyard was deserted.
"Madam, Young Master Xiao Zhi wants to see you." Zhu Fang walked in and said.
Xie Wanyu was reading a book on the couch. After hearing his name, she put down the book and said, "Let him come in."
Now that she has lost power, everyone is afraid to avoid her, but Xiao Zhi takes the initiative to see her, which is really rare.
Xiao Zhi grew taller, and his complexion became rosy. His handsome little face looked very pleasing to the eye, "I would like to pay my respects to Madam." He knelt down respectfully.
Xie Wanyu raised her hand and said, "Get up."
"Thank you, madam." Xiao Zhi stood up, "Madam, how are you doing recently?"
"It's okay." Xie Wanyu said.
Xiao Zhi looked ashamed, "Because I have to take care of the second young master during the day and study secretly at night, I have never had time to pay my respects to the madam. Now that I heard that the madam has been relieved of the housekeeping rights, I am very worried."
Seeing that he said it sincerely, Xie Wanyu couldn't help but smile knowingly.
She has worked conscientiously for so many years, and her close relatives hate her to the core. On the contrary, a child who has nothing to do with her cares about her.
"It's okay. My dowry is rich, so I don't have to offend anyone if I don't care about my family." After Xie Wanyu finished speaking, she looked at him and said to Zhufang, "Go to my warehouse and bring out a set of fur clothes for Pei Zhi. Brother Xuan wears the smaller one."
Xiao Zhi's eyes widened, "Thank you, Madam."
