After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Originally, Xiao Qian wanted to make a big fuss about Xiao Yu suing Xiao Yi in order to use it to control the Xie clan and the Xie family. He never expected that this time it was the Xiao clan leader himself who made the decision to expel Xiao Yi from the clan and even register Xiao Yu under the name of the second old grandfather who died young and had no children.

This way, Xiao Yu's crime can be mitigated, and Xiao Yi will not be implicated. This mother and son have a good plan...

But why did the clan help Xiao Yu?

For a moment, Xiao Qian's face changed several times. At this moment, his sleeve was pulled by someone, and Aunt Liu, who was behind the crowd, appeared beside him at some point.

Aunt Liu just glanced at Xiao Xuetang, and Xiao Qian quickly understood...

Xie has hardly gone out in the past two days, and Xiao Yu was detained in Jingzhao Prefecture and was only released today. It must be that Xiao Xuetang is causing trouble!

Xiao Qian's eyes suddenly burst with intense hatred. He looked at Xiao Xuetang as if he wanted to eat her. Veins popped out on his forehead, and he angrily said, "Chief, this is not fair!"

"Your clan didn't want to be implicated by my eldest brother, and you were afraid of death, so you expelled him from the clan. You even didn't let his son go. You made my brother exterminated from the clan and cut off his descendants. How can you be so cruel!"

Xiao Qian looked indignant, as if he was very upset for Xiao Yi, but he knew what he was thinking...

Patriarch Xiao did not expect that Xiao Qian would start yelling in public. As soon as he finished speaking, the onlookers pointed at him and the faces of several elders were not looking good.

They were all conservative in character. Of course, they did not want to be implicated by Xiao Yi's affairs, and killing Xiao Yi would be detrimental to morality. After weighing the pros and cons again and again, it was the clan leader who made the final decision. After taking out the handwritten letter left by the old marquis, they reluctantly agreed to come to the marquis' mansion in person - it was definitely not because they were afraid of the knife in Xiao Shiqi's hand.

Now that they were being denounced by everyone, several elders who were very concerned about their reputation felt a little embarrassed.

"Why don't we just forget about Xiao Yu's matter..."

The elder with a goatee tugged at the chief's collar and lowered his voice to discuss: "Although Xiao Yi deserves to die, we should keep his bloodline as he has provided so much support to our tribe..."

It means that Xiao Yi and his son Xiao Yu will be expelled from the clan.

Before Chief Xiao could speak, Xiao Xuetang asked, "What is the offering that the elder is talking about?"

When the elder heard Xiao Xuetang's voice, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. The man was talking, so how could a little girl interrupt!

But seeing that the clan leader did not stop him, he replied with a gloomy face: "Your father..."

"My Lord... When Xiao Yi was in power, he helped the clan every year and funded the repair of the ancestral hall and the school. So, even though he was expelled from the family for his disloyalty and injustice, we left him a descendant to commemorate him for his past contributions, which is considered a favor from the clan."

"Ah."

Xiao Xuetang sneered, and the merciless ridicule made the elder lose face instantly.

"Since the elder feels that Xiao Yi has made great contributions, why don't you register him as your son and let your descendants take care of him until the end of his life."

The elder's face turned pale, and a trace of anger flashed across his face: "You don't know what this is about!"

Xiao Xuetang sneered, "So the elder is also afraid, afraid that he will be implicated by Xiao Yi, so why bother to be generous to others?"

The elder wanted to say something, but Xiao Xuetang's eyes suddenly became sharp and he said, "Also, the money that the elder mentioned for the support of the clan and the annual repairs of the clan's ancestral hall and school was all made up by my mother's dowry. If you, the Xiao family, had any conscience, you shouldn't have helped the people in the Marquis' Mansion today and made it difficult for us, mother and son, to leave the mansion!"

Xiao Xuetang's eyes suddenly became sharp. The elder blushed and blurted out subconsciously: "How is this possible?"

"How is it impossible?"

Xiao Xuetang raised her hand, and then she saw the people below holding up several large account books...

At this point, even the brothers Xiao Qian and Xiao Yuan, who had started the incident, changed their expressions and subconsciously asked, "What is this?"

Xiao Xuetang picked up a book and said, "This is the dowry list when my mother married into the Marquis' Mansion..."

"My grandfather was a noble man his whole life, but my grandmother was the descendant of the Duke of Jiangdong County. When she married into the Xie family, she brought half of Jiangdong's wealth as a dowry. The Xie family has a clean and upright family tradition, so they naturally wouldn't be so shameless as to use my grandmother's dowry..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Yong'an Marquisate and the entire Xiao family felt embarrassed, and the people watching below pointed and talked.

Hearing Xiao Xuetang mention Xiao Zhang, the unconscious old lady woke up at some point, making an "ah ah" sound from her throat and looking resentful!

Why did that bitch, her lifelong enemy, have such a good life?

But at this time, no one paid any attention to Madam Xiao's harsh "ah ah" sound. Everyone below craned their necks to continue listening to the gossip...

"So when my mother and aunt got married, my grandmother divided the dowry into two..."

Mrs. Xie, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "My mother gave me twice as much dowry as my sister did. She said that it was not easy for Old Madam Xiao to run the household, so she asked me to use the dowry for household expenses in the Marquisate."

Madam Xiao's cloudy eyes flashed with a trace of disbelief...

When Xie's dowry was brought into the mansion, Old Madam Xiao was so shocked that she laughed at the foolishness of little Zhang for emptying the family's fortune for this money-loser. So within two or three months of Xie's marriage, she began to plot against Xie's dowry.

Xie obeyed everything.

At that time, Madam Xiao thought that Xie was weak and could be bullied, but she never expected...

"Thank you, Madam, for your kindness!"

"Compared to this, Madam Xiao has abused Mrs. Xie for many years, used her dowry, and criticized her daughter-in-law and granddaughter all day long. This Madam Xiao is really a piece of shit..."

Although she was clearly paralyzed, the harsh words from the crowd penetrated into Old Madam Xiao's ears, and she felt desolate in her heart.

It has been decades and she is now dying. Can't she escape the comparison with Xiao Zhang?

No one noticed that the light in Madam Xiao's eyes gradually dimmed, and the sound of "ah ah" became smaller...

Xiao Xuetang picked up the second account book!

"The above is the expenses of the Marquisate over the years, as well as the money of the clan. It shows how Madam Xiao and Xiao Yi used my mother's dowry to supplement the household expenses of the Marquisate, leaving only these few boxes of dowry for the entire street. Clan leader, elders, why don't we hire an accountant tonight to do a thorough calculation, and then we can leave after the calculation is clear?"

The goat-bearded elder, who was jumping the most, subconsciously took a few steps back after hearing this...

Judging from the expressions of the people in the Marquis' Mansion, what Xiao Xuetang said is most likely true!

I don't know how much debt the Marquis' Mansion and the Xiao family owe. Who will pay it back after the debt is settled?

Chief Xiao looked at the dejected expressions of his clansmen, sighed inwardly, and thought: Why did you recruit her for such a good reason?

But now that things have come to this, he, as the clan leader, can no longer help but speak up...

He just sighed and said to Xiao Xuetang, "Girl, please forgive me when you can."

Then, he glanced at Xiao Yu and said, "Besides, if His Majesty has no intention of reducing your title, this Yong'an Marquisate is your brother's, so why should we be so clear about it?"

He had figured it out. As long as Xiao Xuetang cared about the brotherhood between Xiao Yu and Xiao Yu, and the regent was there, whether the Marquisate could be saved was just a matter of a word from him...

As for Xiao Yi who was imprisoned, and the paralyzed old lady, it can only be said that they brought it upon themselves!

……

The front yard was brightly lit, but the backyard was quiet.

Under the rose trellis of Litangju, the moonlight moved, and suddenly two figures, one large and one small, appeared...
