Xie Ruan ran over nervously, "Old madam, what are you doing?"
"What to do? She lost all her dowry, and I, as a grandmother, can't even teach her a lesson?" Mrs. Xiao said angrily.
"Grandma, it's my fault. I didn't think it through." Xie Wanyu lowered her head, looking good at admitting her mistake.
Xue Xuening took the opportunity to fan the flames and said, "Brother and sister, are you confused? Why are you so careless? That is your entire dowry!"
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Xiao Jing secretly and saw that his face was sullen and he was working harder on his performance, "I said at the beginning that shipping was unreliable, but my siblings still didn't believe it. It's good now, there's nothing left."
After hearing this, Mrs. Xiao became even more angry, with a gloomy expression on her face.
Xiao Jing even accused him, "Is this how you take charge of the central feeder? The whole family is about to be defeated by you!"
Faced with their accusations, Xie Wanyu was very calm. She had heard such words so many times that she had already become numb.
Xie Ru'an couldn't help but said, "This thing was originally Xie's dowry, but now it is gone. How can it be the success or failure of the Xiao family?"
"Why didn't I know when my sister's dowry became the property of your Xiao family?"
"When you marry, you obey your husband. Since she married into the Xiao family, everything about her belongs to the Xiao family." Xue Xuening bit her lips and said unwillingly.
Xie Ru'an couldn't stand this shameless woman, and said angrily, "You are a concubine's eldest sister-in-law, why should you care about other people's dowries?"
"Is it possible that I don't have a dowry, so I just think about someone else's dowry?"
"You..." Xue Xuening became angry and glared at him fiercely, but she was afraid of making Xiao Jing unhappy, so she could only force herself to swallow the bad breath back into her stomach.
Madam Xiao sneered, "You, you really disappoint me! I am still thinking about how to help you secure your position as mistress, but you..."
At the end of the sentence, she beat her legs and chest, looking annoyed.
Xie Wanyu said guiltily, "It's all my fault. I'm sorry for the Xiao family."
Xie Ruan consoled him, "How could this be your fault? Your original intention was to make more money. It's not because the Marquis has no ability. Otherwise, why would you be so worried about money."
Xiao Jing's face was livid. He had been tolerating Xie Ru'an today just because he didn't want to conflict with the Xie family. But who could resist hearing this?
"Brother, don't go too far."
Although the Xie family can enjoy the shade under a big tree, and Xie Ruan is talented and can be regarded as the number one figure in the court.
But if Xie Ruan is aggressive, he will never back down.
Xie Ruan snorted coldly, "Where did I go too far? If Mr. Hou is really capable, why would the Xiao family care about my sister's dowry?"
Xiao Jing clenched her fist and rushed over, raising her hand to hit Xie Ruan. Fortunately, Xie Wanyu next to her stopped him in time, so he didn't succeed.
Xie Ru'an mocked sarcastically, "You really are so anxious that you can't even win a fight."
"Thank you!"
Xiao Jing was so angry that she kicked him, and the two immediately struggled with each other.
Xue Xuening was frightened and rushed forward to stop him.
Mrs. Xiao had a headache and was buzzing, so Xie Wanyu also went over to start a fight.
It was said that it was a fight, but it was actually dragging Xiao Jing to be beaten by Xie Ruan. Even Xue Xuening was beaten several times.
"That's enough! Stop it!" Mrs. Xiao shouted sternly.
Unfortunately, her words had no effect at all. Finally, the guards came and separated the two.
Xie Ruan and Xiao Jing refused to give in to each other, their eyes were red, as if they wanted to fight again.
Mrs. Xiao was so angry that she could hardly breathe. She kept beating her chest and said, "Get out of here!"
The four of them walked out of the room angrily. Xie Wanyu was already weak, and her physical strength was exhausted from the fight just now.
His legs went weak and he almost fell down, but fortunately Xie Ruan caught him in time.
"What's wrong with you sister?"
"Take me back to Panyun Mountain, along with Zhu Fang, Aunt He, and Pei Zhi."
After saying this, Xie Wanyu fainted.
When she woke up again, she was already in Panyun Mountain. She looked at the worried people and said, "I'm fine."
Zhufang hurriedly poured a glass of water and brought it over.
Xie Wanyu drank tea to moisten her throat and asked, "Why did brother come to the Hou Mansion?"
"Someone sent me a message saying that something happened to you in the Hou Mansion and asked me to rush there quickly."
Hearing this, Xie Wanyu had some doubts in her eyes. Who would have known that something happened to her in the mansion.
Xie Ru'an didn't know who informed her. He didn't believe it at first, but he hadn't seen his sister for a long time, so he stopped by to check it out, so he went to Xiao's house.
Fortunately, he went, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous, and we don't know how the Xiao family would bully their sister.
Xie Wanyu smiled slightly, "Brother, can you not tell your parents about this matter? I don't want them to worry."
"How can this be done? If you don't tell them about such a big thing, the Xiao family will not know how they will bully you in the future. If it doesn't work, just make peace now instead of waiting another three years."
Xie Wanyu knew that her brother was fighting for her, and her heart warmed, and she said patiently, "Brother, don't worry, I just don't want to let the Xiao family go like this. When the time is right, I will escape unscathed."
"But..." Xie Ruan hesitated.
Xie Wanyu continued, "The dowry is still there. This is just a cover-up trick I used to make the Xiao family completely stop thinking about it."
"Okay, then please be safe."
He knew that his sister had always been smart and would definitely not let him suffer. Since she insisted on doing so, it was hard for him to say anything.
Xie Ruan was worried that her family would be suspicious if she returned too late, so he left after making sure she was fine.
Xie Wanyu lay down for a while, then felt sleepy again, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"Madam, it's time to eat."
The maid's reminder sounded in my ears.
"I'll take a nap and eat later." Xie Wanyu said drowsily, and then she fell into sleep again.
She didn't know how long she had slept, but she vaguely felt as if her body was being suppressed, unable to move, and her breathing became extremely difficult.
"Cough cough cough..." She coughed softly and finally slowly opened her eyes.
The room was dark, except for an oil lamp burning by the bedside. Under the dim light, Taishu Ai looked down at her, with an evil smile on his lips.
This position made Xie Wanyu very uncomfortable, and she struggled to sit up.
There was a hint of gloom in Tai Shuqi's eyebrows. He grabbed her arm, pulled her into his arms, and said in a low voice, "It's really disturbing."
Xie Wanyu stretched out her hand to push him away and said with some resistance, "My lord, please respect yourself."
This word made Tai Shuyi look gloomy. He knew that he was still not qualified to stand by her side.
"Xiao Jing treats you like this, do you still plan to stay in the Xiao family?" Tai Shuzhen asked.
Xie Wanyu replied, "Some matters have not been dealt with yet, and the time is not mature enough."
Taishu Ai clenched his hands on his side, and suddenly approached Xie Wanyu and said, "How long do you want me to wait?"
Xie Wanyu stared at Taishu Ai blankly. His eyes were deep and dark, giving her a strange sense of danger, as if she would be doomed in the next second.
She looked away and said softly, "I'm tired. Your Majesty, please come back."
However, Tai Shuyi really turned around and left this time.
His back showed loneliness and loneliness.
A strange emotion surged in Xie Wanyu's heart.
