Mrs. Xiao's expression was already very bad, but she didn't dare to confront Tai Shuyi yet.
After Tai Shuqi left, Mrs. Xiao entered the room and sat on a chair. At this time, Zhu Fang also came with the doctor.
"Zhu Fang, take the third lady to the ear room for bandage." Xie Wanyu said.
Mrs. Xiao looked at Xie Fengya and saw that her clothes were cut and her blood was flowing all over the floor. She couldn't help but patted the table, "Shuang'er, what on earth did you do?"
It was the first time that Mrs. Xiao lost such a temper. Xiao Yinshuang knelt down in tears, "Grandma, it was Xie Wanyu who bullied others too much. She humiliated me over and over again."
She cried until her heart broke, but she didn't shed any tears, not as much as Xue Xuening.
"Don't cry here. Cry here when you have time. Why don't you grow your brains in the future and dare to kill people in the Marquis' Mansion? Do you think our life in the Marquis' Mansion is too smooth?" Mrs. Xiao scolded.
Xiao Yinshuang cried sadly, "Grandma, if she hadn't bullied others, I wouldn't be like this."
"This is in my yard. I want to ask eldest sister, did you come to my yard on purpose to come to me and bully you?" Xie Wanyu asked in a cold voice.
Xiao Yinshuang glared at her, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not here to ask for money..."
"What money do you want?" Mrs. Xiao successfully understood Xiao Yinshuang's words.
At this time, Xiao Yinshuang did not answer. Xie Wanyu could only say, "Eldest sister said that the money for repairing the ancestral hall has been used up."
Mrs. Xiao looked Xiao Yinshuang up and down, and when she saw her head full of pearls, she had already guessed, "It's only been a few days, and the money has been used up? Someone, bring the account book."
No one dared not listen to Mrs. Xiao's words, and someone immediately took out the account book.
She flipped through the pages and found the day Xiao Yinshuang took charge of the house. "What is this? A piece of wood costs twenty taels. Do you think we are all fools?"
In order to balance the accounts, Xiao Yinshuang deliberately added more silver taels to the bricks, tiles and wood used to repair the ancestral hall.
"Grandma, it's my first time to renovate an ancestral hall, so there are bound to be some mistakes. But Xie Wanyu, she is obviously the richest in the family, why should she have more money?" Xiao Yinshuang shouted.
Mrs. Xiao understands this kind of thing best.
It's just that the dowry of the daughter-in-law of her husband's family is not a glorious thing, so Mrs. Xiao will never openly care about Xie Wanyu asking for money. Only Xiao Yinshuang was stupid and said it directly.
Xie Wanyu said immediately, "That is my dowry. I want to give it to you. If I don't want to give it, no one can take it away easily."
"What if you die?" Xiao Yinshuang said through gritted teeth.
At this time, Xiao Zhi, who was originally very calm, suddenly started crying. He walked up to Mrs. Xiao and grabbed her sleeve pitifully, "Grandma, my aunt wants to kill my mother. She said that as long as my mother dies, Mother’s dowry belongs to her.”
Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Zhi blankly, and then asked, "Did your aunt really say that?"
"My aunt also said that my grandmother is getting old and she may not know how long she can live. My aunt is also a coward. In the future, the Xiao family will definitely have the final say on her, so if she kills her mother, the money must be hers." Xiao Zhi stammered. said it out.
Xiao Yinshuang was furious, "You little bastard, when did I say such a thing?"
Xie Wanyu hurriedly protected Xiao Zhi behind her.
Mrs. Xiao had a faint look of anger on her face, and it was obvious that she believed it.
After all, a child's words are more credible. "How old is he? If you hadn't said it, he could have made up this statement?" Mrs. Xiao said angrily.
"Grandma, don't even look at who taught him." Xiao Yinshuang got up angrily, "Besides, Xie Wanyu is just an unloved daughter-in-law. She will die when she dies. The last one didn't just die, someone will be there immediately. Are you married? What are you afraid of..." Before she could finish her words, Mrs. Xiao slapped her to the ground.
Xiao Yinshuang couldn't help but cover her cheek confidently, "Grandma, are you hitting me?"
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll hit you back." Mrs. Xiao's voice was so angry that she was trembling.
But Xie Wanyu heard something was wrong in her words. The last person she mentioned had just died, and the last person she mentioned was Xie Yuerong. Judging from her tone, Xie Yuerong's death was not that simple.
But before Xie Wanyu could think about it carefully, Madam Xiao felt relieved.
She frowned and looked at Xie Wanyu, "Wanyu, your eldest sister is now a widow in her parents' house. She feels uncomfortable. If she does something wrong, you have to give her some mercy."
"Grandma, she wants to kill me, how can I give in?" Xie Wanyu asked calmly.
Mrs. Xiao was speechless for a moment, and then she said after a while, "Aren't you fine now? Why do you have to hold on to this matter?"
"Then what if something happens to me? Is grandma going to say that I'm dead anyway, how can I make the living people apologize?" Since her fall out, Xie Wanyu appeared to be pleasant on the surface, but she would also contradict Mrs. Xiao in a roundabout way.
Mrs. Xiao's face was very embarrassed, even faintly angry.
However, Xie Wanyu did not take her anger seriously at all, "She must receive the punishment she deserves."
"What do you think?" Mrs. Xiao looked at Xie Wanyu.
Xie Wanyu was not polite at all, "If you follow my suggestion, you should use family methods and beat her with fifty canes to serve as a warning to others."
"How dare you, Xie Wanyu, believe it or not, I will kill you." She said, and rushed towards her with all her teeth and claws, but was stopped by the people around Mrs. Xiao.
"Grandma, you have seen it. If she is not punished, she might do something." Xie Wanyu said.
Mrs. Xiao could only secretly hate Xiao Yinshuang for being too stupid.
After a long while, she said, "You also know what happened to your eldest sister. She is a kind person."
Xie Wanyu nodded, "If that's the case, then let's do it." She sat down directly, "Go to the Yamen and see how the prefect decides."
She knew what Mrs. Xiao was more afraid of.
Sure enough, compared to her love for Xiao Yinshuang, Mrs. Xiao was more afraid of the family being humiliated. She trembled and said, "Take action in the family."
These words seemed to take all her energy.
After a while, the housekeeper came in and said, "Old madam, I have sent King Qin away."
"You stupid thing, why didn't you tell me when King Qin came in?" Mrs. Xiao was worried and had nowhere to vent her anger, so she immediately scolded the old housekeeper.
Unexpectedly, the old housekeeper also had an innocent look on his face, "Old slave is also puzzled. There is no King Qin's carriage at the door, and the boy guarding the door didn't see him coming in."
Hearing this, Xie Wanyu was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Tai Shuqi didn't walk in openly. Even if he was powerful, it would be inappropriate to do so, right?
Mrs. Xiao also reacted, and she couldn't help but take a deep look at Xie Wanyu.
But seeing Xie Wanyu's face calm, Madam Xiao let go of her suspicions and said, "The King of Qin is too dismissive of the Hou Mansion, and he actually wants to climb over the wall and enter."
"Your majesty, how could you..." The old housekeeper was questioning, but when he saw Mrs. Xiao's displeasure, she wisely shut up.
