Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

"I had just become an official that year. I first arrived in Anling County and had no foundation. Your grandfather was the county magistrate of Anling County at the time."

"When I visited your grandfather's house, your mother saw me and took a fancy to my skin."

"She took the initiative to come to me to express her feelings. After I repeatedly refused, she found someone to tie me up directly, locked herself in the same room with me, and arranged for a maid to find someone."

Sheriff Mao shook his head sarcastically, "Your mother is quite smart. The people she called are all her relatives."

"Your mother cried and told your grandfather and grandmother that I fell in love with her beauty and wanted to do something wrong to her. Gee, she cried so pitifully."

Mrs. Mao's face turned pale, her lips moved, and her eyes were filled with tears.

"Youyi, do you think your grandfather and the others know what the truth of the matter is?"

The tone of Governor Mao's words at this time was not cold, but it made Mao Youyi tremble all over.

"Know...know."

How could my grandfather, a smart man like me, not know this?

Sheriff Mao stood up with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face, but no tenderness in his eyes.

"Yes, they know everything, but they still use their power to suppress me and warn me that I'd better marry your mother home honestly, otherwise my reputation will be ruined and I will never be able to be an official."

"I, Mao Yuanyi, have been studying hard for more than ten years. In order to achieve my lifelong wish, your grandparents and grandparents urged me to get married many times, but I never agreed. I wanted to start a career first and then start a family."

"Tell me, how can I be willing to end my official career?"

Mao Youyi took a step back with a pale face and fell to the ground weakly.

Mrs. Xu stared at Mrs. Mao, her eyes full of anger.

"So that's it. How could my brother suddenly get married to the daughter of a county magistrate? There was no sign before. My parents have always thought that my family is just an insignificant official's family. You married into my family and suffered a lot. I feel wronged. You always told my brother to treat you well, and also asked me to respect you more, but what’s the result?"

The more she talked, the angrier Mrs. Xu became.

"Huang Xiruo, you and your family have gone too far!"

Mrs. Mao wiped the tears on her face with her sleeves and sneered.

"Don't say it so harshly. What's wrong with your brother marrying me? Without me and without my father, can he sit on the position of Anling County Sheriff? Do you think the position of Anling County Sheriff is... Can he sit on it just because of his ability? It wasn't because of my father's various plans for him that he is where he is today!"

Sheriff Mao flicked the non-existent dust on his sleeves.

"Huang Xiruo."

Mrs. Mao raised her head suddenly, her eyes full of expectation.

Sheriff Mao narrowed his eyes, "Then do you think your father put me in this position for your family or for me?"

"Since... naturally it's for... for..."

Sheriff Mao chuckled lightly, his eyes full of ridicule.

"If it weren't for the fact that your two brothers are useless, just two puddles of mud, how could your father put all his hope in me?"

"He has a fatherly heart and wants me to stand higher to protect you."

"No matter what, my father is really devoted to you, but what about you?"

Mrs. Mao pointed at Mrs. Xu and Xu Zhinian.

"Mao Yuanyi, who is your closest relative? You will protect your sister, and also your niece. If you don't know, you think she is not your sister, but your lover, bang!"

The playful smile just now was no longer on Governor Mao's face. At this time, his eyes were red and he was glaring at Mrs. Mao as if he wanted to eat someone.

Mrs. Xu was also so angry that her eyes turned black and she was a little out of breath.

Xu Zhinian couldn't bear to cry anymore and hurriedly helped Mrs. Xu's back.

Mao Youyi looked at her mother in disbelief.

Is your mother crazy?

You dare to say such things.

"You can rest assured that Yuanyi and Ruochun were carried out of the delivery room with my own eyes. There is no doubt that they are biological brothers and sisters."

A pair of simply dressed old men came together from outside the dining room.

Sheriff Mao and Mrs. Xu ignored their anger and rushed to greet him.

Mrs. Mao lost her crazy energy and stood up in a panic.

"Dad, Mom, why are you here? Didn't you tell me that you should take a good rest and not go out of the yard until you recover?"

The old housekeeper who followed the two elders looked embarrassed.

The master asked him to guard at the entrance of the dining room and not allow others to approach, but when the master and the old lady came, he couldn't stop them.

"Cough cough..."

Mr. Mao clenched his hands into fists and put them in front of his mouth, bowed and coughed a few times.

Sheriff Mao quickly handed over to the old man.

"Brother, please arrange for someone to send dad and mom back quickly. Dad's body can't stand the torment."

The old man stretched out his hand to stop Sheriff Mao from arranging people, and looked at Mrs. Mao with his cloudy but wise eyes.

Mrs. Mao's lips moved, she lowered her head and whispered, "Dad."

The old man ignored Mrs. Mao, but sat on the chair with the support of Sheriff Mao. Xu Zhinian quickly put a cup of hot tea in the old man's hand, and handed another cup of hot tea to the old lady sitting next to the old man.

Xu Zhinian's grandmother patted the back of Xu Zhinian's hand comfortingly, her face full of kindness.

Sheriff Mao waved his hand to the old housekeeper, indicating that he should go down.

The old butler did not dare to look at the situation in the hall, bowed and exited, and continued to guard the entrance of the dining room.

The old man took a sip of hot tea and said, "Your mother and I originally wanted to take advantage of the nice weather to go see your brother-in-law. We turned this way after hearing the noise here. Unexpectedly, it made us old." The couple listened to a great drama!"

"Den!"

The old man put the cup on the table and stared at Mrs. Mao solemnly.

"I didn't know that my daughter-in-law, who claims to be of noble birth, is actually such a person."

"Has no sense of shame, no sense of benevolence and righteousness, and is full of viciousness."

Mrs. Mao's body swayed feebly, and she knew that she was finished.

After today, it will be difficult for her to have a place in this house.

"Grandpa! That's, that's mother!"

Mao Youyi knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

She didn't understand how everything was fine at first and suddenly became like this.

The old man lowered his eyes and looked at his eldest granddaughter who was covering her mouth and crying bitterly, his voice was cold.

"She not only bullied my son and daughter, insulted my granddaughter, but also soaked the backbone of my Mao family in feces. If she hadn't given birth to Wenzhou and you, do you think she could still stand at this time? Here?"

The Mao Wenzhou the old man is talking about is the eldest son of Governor Mao and the elder brother of Mao Youyi. He is currently studying in an academy and usually goes home every ten days.

After he learned that his aunt and his family were coming yesterday, he took a leave of absence and went home. He returned to the academy early this morning.

"Yuan Yi."

Commander Mao stood respectfully and said, "Dad."

"Whether you reconcile with her or divorce her, it will be bad for you and the reputation of your two children, but it is absolutely impossible to let her be the wife of the head of the house in a glorious way."

"father!"

Mrs. Mao heard the second half of the old man's words before her heart was completely relieved, and she immediately knelt down in front of him.

"Dad, I know I was wrong. I will never be so outspoken again. My sister, I, and Nian Nian apologize."

As she spoke, Mrs. Mao turned around and knelt down to Mrs. Xu and Xu Zhinian.

The old lady protected Madam Xu and Xu Zhinian behind her.

"Don't do this."
