The evil woman becomes the concubine and the villain is crushed to ashes

Xie Zhibai's Adam's apple rolled and he wanted to say something, but in the end he just closed his mouth again with a complicated expression.

Although he didn't want to admit it, what his sister said did make sense. Although the emperor was the supreme ruler, he was also a human being.

Since we are human beings, we have the most basic human nature. Isn’t it part of human nature to like to hear nice words?

If everything went according to reason, there would be no treacherous ministers in power, and no one would favor a concubine and sacrifice his wife.

Xie Zhibai is a man of real talent and knowledge, well-read in poetry and books. He is neither blindly confident in himself nor overly self-deprecating. He can look at himself and others correctly.

So after his sister said so much, Xie Zhibai thought for a while and finally figured it out.

After I figured it out, I felt relieved. It was much better than Lord Xie still sulking there.

Xie Zhibai stood up directly and bowed to Xie Lingxi.

"Lingxi, I've learned a lot from your words. When three of us walk together, there must be one person who can teach me. Now I know what to do in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Lingxi smiled with curved eyebrows and hurriedly stepped forward to hold up her eldest brother's hand.

"Brother, don't be like this. Haven't you taught me enough since I was little? I can say all this because of that dream. This is an opportunity given by God, not my own ability. If we talk about intelligence, it's still brother who is smarter. If we talk about ability, it's still father who is capable. If we talk about kindness, it's still mother who is kinder!"

Xie Lingxi opened her mouth and praised all three people in the room, and the atmosphere immediately eased.

Lord Xie, Madam Xie, Xie Zhibai, and Xie Lingxi all laughed out loud, and the Xie family seemed to have returned to the cheerful atmosphere before the gloom.

The Xie family is harmonious, but the Xiao family is in chaos because of the variable Xie Lingxi, and they are scheming against each other.

At this time, the entrance of Hanmeiyuan, the courtyard of the Xiao family, which had never been popular, became noisy and the atmosphere was very tense.

Two guards stood at the gate of the courtyard, blocking Madam Xiao's way.

"Ma'am, you can't go in."

"Snapped!"

Madam Xiao raised her hand and slapped the guard who spoke.

The guard was hit, his face tilted slightly, and there was a slap mark on his face, but he still showed no sign of wavering, and stood firmly at the gate of the courtyard and spoke.

"Madam, the Marquis has specifically ordered that you cannot enter Hanmei Garden without his permission."

Madam Xiao was already angry, and now when she heard what the guard said, she immediately became furious.

She was not a person who could control her temper. For so many years, she was the most powerful person in Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion except for Marquis Xiao.

Now, a mere guard, and the guard of that bitch in Hanmei Garden, dares to talk to her like this?

You really think your son is useless, and you think you can get back on your feet by relying on that bastard, right?

To be honest, it is impossible for Feng Xiaoniang to be assigned guards given her status. This is because Madam Xiao had once rushed to Hanmei Garden and attacked Feng Xiaoniang. At that time, Marquis Xiao happened to be passing by with a guest and saw the mistress of the Xiao family bullying her concubine.

When friends joked that Mrs. Xiao was amazing and that Marquis Xiao had a virtuous wife, Marquis Xiao felt ashamed at the time and smiled awkwardly. After sending the guests away, he directly sent two guards to guard the place.

Mrs. Xiao could naturally come on weekdays, but with the two guards here, and having been reprimanded for bringing shame to the Xiao family before, her temper has been restrained a little, and at most she can be sarcastic, but she dare not attack Feng Xiaoniang directly again.

In addition, Feng Xiaoniang was sensible and seldom left Hanmei Garden, so Mrs. Xiao was not annoyed by her and the two of them had fewer conflicts.

But it is different now. The conflict between the two is out in the open, and when it comes to such a major issue as the inheritance of the title, there is no room for compromise.

Madam Xiao gritted her teeth, thinking that Mrs. Feng was just showing off on purpose. If she didn't let these bitches in Hanmei Garden taste her power today, they would really forget who was the mistress of the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion.

"How dare you! Who do you think you are? How dare you block my way? Get out of here right now!"

After Mrs. Xiao finished speaking, she was about to hit someone again, but was stopped by a pair of hands.

"Mother-in-law, don't be impulsive!"

Xie Ruyu stood out from the group of people accompanying Mrs. Xiao, quickly pulled Mrs. Xiao back, and said something to her in a gentle tone.

Then he looked at the guard who was blocking the way and spoke very kindly.

"Our lady just wants to see the Marquis. You can go in and tell him. She was just angry just now and didn't hit you on purpose."

All his words were excuses for Madam Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao did not appreciate it and glared at Xie Ruyu unhappily.

However, Xie Ruyu shook her head secretly at her, then pulled Madam Xiao to a deserted place aside, sent away all the maids around them, and then spoke in a low voice.

"Mother-in-law, don't forget what we said before we came here. We agreed not to lose our temper. The situation is stronger than us. We still have to endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden. Don't forget the business."

Mrs. Xiao was annoyed. She gently pulled her hand back and glared at Xie Ruyu.

"What do you know? If I don't teach these lowly people in Hanmei Garden a lesson today, they will climb over my head and shit tomorrow! What do you know from a humble family? If you don't understand these lawsuits in the rich and powerful families, don't talk."

This statement clearly shows contempt for Xie Ruyu's background, and Xie Ruyu is most self-conscious about her background.

She felt annoyed, but compared to Mrs. Xiao, Xie Ruyu was obviously used to endurance. She suppressed her displeasure and tried to persuade her patiently.

"Mother-in-law, I know you hate this Miss Feng, but isn't the most important thing right now Brother Yusheng's future? Why are you competing with this concubine at this critical moment?"

"The Xiao family is still in a state of turmoil right now. It's not safe. Once we have settled the matter outside, we will naturally be able to deal with this ungrateful concubine."

After a pause, Xie Ruyu continued.

"You said it yourself, that Xiao Yu'an is just a bastard's son. Since he is a bastard's son, there is no way he can surpass the legitimate son. What's more, our brother Yusheng is the eldest legitimate son."

"The status of the eldest son is already transcendent. Even though Brother Yusheng has been deprived of his position as the crown prince, even though he can no longer stand up like an ordinary person, the blood flowing in his body is still that of the eldest son. His noble blood is also in my belly."

As Xie Ruyu spoke, she touched her round belly.

The anger on Mrs. Xiao's face did dissipate a little, but she was still resentful in her heart.

"I just can't get over this! This little bitch always avoided me in the past, but this time when she saw Yu Sheng was injured, she immediately called Xiao Yu'an back from the academy. Isn't it obvious that she is just trying to make fun of me?"

"Now she dares to block my way. If I just watch her show off in front of me, what's the point of being the Marquis' wife?"
