After the incense was finished, Mrs. Lin turned around.
"My father-in-law," she said softly, "On the way to Xie's house, I heard someone say that the old lady died tragically. Is it true or not?"
"The people on the street are talking nonsense!" Xie Zhongcheng said angrily, "My mother was terminally ill and passed away before she could bear it when she was old."
"Really?" Mrs. Lin sneered, "My father-in-law thought that if he said this, the people would stop talking about the Xie family. Did he think that Yushitai would not know about it? Did he think that it would not have any impact on your Xie family? Yet?"
Xie Zhongcheng clenched his fists.
He never expected that the death of an individual in the Xie family would cause an uproar in the capital.
After all, it was because the Xie family married a girl from the Yun family that the Yun family attracted much attention, and even the Xie family was inexplicably discussed.
"I don't care what happens to your Xie family." Mrs. Lin's voice became even colder, "That child Xie Shiwei originally injured Prince Xuanwu. I just thought it was a young child playing around, but who would have thought that he actually killed him?" My biological great-grandmother! I can kill my blood-related elders, but what about my aunt who is not related by blood? If I can kill my great-grandmother, it is possible to kill my aunt-in-law! It is absolutely impossible for our Yun family to let our daughter live with an aunt. Murderers are under the same roof!"
"My mother-in-law, you are worrying too much!" Mrs. Yuan hurriedly came over and said, "Yi Ge has always respected Chu'er, our aunt, so how could he kill his mother..."
"Oh, nothing is impossible in your Xie family!" Mrs. Lin took Yun Chu's hand and said, "Chu'er, mother will take you home!"
Xie Shiwei's virtue must have come from the Xie family. The whole house of the Xie family was full of rotten people, which made her suspect that the premature birth of her first son a few years ago had something to do with the Xie family!
She now deeply regrets why she was deceived by Xie Jingyu's identity as the number one scholar, and why she chose such a marriage for Chu'er.
It's all her fault, she harmed Chu'er!
"My mother-in-law, we have something to discuss!" Yuanshi quickly grabbed Yun Chu, "The old lady just passed away. If Chu'er, the eldest daughter-in-law, leaves the Xie family, it will really make our Xie family unable to live as human beings. Mother-in-law , you say, how you want to deal with it, our Xie family will deal with it, as long as Chu'er stays in the Xie family, we can do whatever we want!"
Xie Zhongcheng softened his tone: "Brother Wei will definitely not stay at Xie's house. My mother-in-law can rest assured about this!"
Mrs. Lin said coldly: "If you kill someone, you must pay the price. Your Xie family has only one choice, and that is to send Xie Shiwei to the government!"
Yuan's legs went weak and she quickly held her mother-in-law's hand.
Xie Zhongcheng clenched his fist tightly.
The Yun family was clearly threatening him, threatening that Brother Wei must be sent to prison, otherwise, the Yun family would most likely be divorced from the Xie family.
Today's Xie family is swayed by wind and rain, and cannot afford such a big setback as Heli.
He quickly considered the pros and cons in his mind, closed his eyes, and said word by word: "Then, as my mother-in-law said."
The servants of the Xie Mansion had already spread the word about what happened last night, and the whole capital was in an uproar. Every detail was revealed. If no explanation was given, the Xie family would be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.
Handing over Xie Shiwei and protecting the entire Xie family seemed...not so unacceptable.
Yunchu sent Lin out: "Don't worry, mother, the Xie family can't hurt me."
"Chu'er..." Mrs. Lin sighed, "My parents will always be your support, and the Yun family will always welcome you back."
After seeing off Mrs. Lin, Yunchu called Tingfeng: "Go to the woodshed now and tell Xie Shiwei that the Xie family is sending him to the government. If he accepts his fate, just accept it. If he wants to escape, help him." Give him a handful and give him a few taels of silver."
Tingfeng nodded, turned around and went to do it.
Yuan walked out of the mourning hall, held Xie Zhongcheng's hand, and said with a trembling voice: "Master, do you really want to send Brother Wei to see the official? He is only eight years old!"
"He has done something wrong and must accept punishment." Xie Zhongcheng looked at her and said, "Now that the old lady is gone, you will be in charge of the Xie family's back house from now on. Don't always act like you have to cry. If you cry, so many women and children will cry too, won’t my Xie family be in chaos?”
Yuanshi suppressed her trembling: "Isn't there Chu'er..."
"That's why you think this daughter-in-law is really on the side of the Xie family!" Xie Zhongcheng lowered his voice, "Ever since she found out that An Ge'er and her three siblings were born to Aunt He, she has become cold-hearted towards the Xie family. Remember Live, take the power of the back house in your own hands, don’t always rely on others..."
Yuan's eyes suddenly widened: "What are you talking about, Brother An was born by Aunt He?"
This incident simply overturned her cognition, as if it was a blow to the head, making her feel dizzy.
Xie Zhongcheng shook his head. Her wife had been ill for more than ten years and took medicine every day, which made her brain confused. Do you need to ask more about such an obvious thing?
"No wonder, no wonder my mother-in-law just wanted to reconcile?" Mrs. Yuan said with a mournful face, "I heard that in the past two days, the Yun family has been going out to reconcile with a married daughter of the Yun family. The Yun family is not worried at all. What bad influence will the reconciliation bring to the Yun family? If the Xie family treats Chu'er badly, the Yun family boss will definitely come forward to reconcile Chu'er!"
Xie Zhongcheng also saw strength in Lin's attitude.
He was also vaguely worried whether the Yun family would desperately reconcile...
"After Jingyu's body recovers, we must let Chu'er conceive a child." Yuan turned around, clasped his hands, walked to the old lady's memorial tablet and said, "Please old lady bless Chu'er to be a boy in one fell swoop, let me The Xie family has a true legitimate son..."
Xie Shi'an, who was kneeling beside the memorial tablet and burning paper, paused with his fingers.
He had always known that his mother had gone to see a miracle doctor, and he also knew that his father and mother were taking medicine to regulate their bodies in order to have a child.
According to the current situation of the Xie family, the father will definitely let the mother have a child at all costs. If the Xie family has a real legitimate son, then what is his eldest son?
Now his mother is paving the way for him and asking for a place in the Yun family’s Imperial College for him. He enjoys the Yun family’s connections...
Once the mother has her own child, once the Yun family has a legitimate grandson, what will happen to him?
Maybe he should add something else to his father's medicine jar... No, it's too risky. You can detect it by just checking the medicine residue...
Xie Shi'an didn't stop burning paper, and his mind didn't stop either. Countless thoughts came to his mind.
Xie Zhongcheng left the mourning hall and went to the woodshed.
He wanted to personally send Xie Shiwei to see the officials, so that the people who were talking about it could see that the Xie family's righteousness in killing relatives was definitely not full of evil intentions!
As soon as I walked to the door of the woodshed, I saw the mother-in-law saying in a panic: "Master, it's bad, the second young master and the second young master are missing!"
Xie Zhongcheng was furious: "What do you mean missing!"
"Just now, the second young master was still in the woodshed and said he was thirsty. The old slave brought the second young master water and locked the woodshed. After a while, he went in and the second young master disappeared!"
"This evil obstacle dares to escape!" Xie Zhongcheng roared, "Everyone, go after him and make sure to catch this evil obstacle and bring him to justice!"
