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

Xie Ruyu took a deep breath and said loudly.

"Don't be like this, mother-in-law! You have a quick temper! You can't stand provocation and you are very straightforward. The Marquis was just angry for a moment. He must know that mother-in-law is kind by nature, but there have been too many troubles in the family recently, so he said such harsh words."

"Husband and wife are one! Mother-in-law, please don't be angry! Don't forget, we are here for a serious matter! If this matter is delayed, what will happen to our Xiao family? Don't act on impulse!"

After Xie Ruyu said this, Madam Xiao reluctantly stopped, but considering Xie Ruyu's belly, she pushed him away unhappily.

"Let me go. Since you are pregnant, stay here and behave yourself. Give birth to the child, and then you will have the right to say a few more words in Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion."

"Don't be like some people who don't know their own status. They really think they can gain a firm foothold in Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion by just saying a few sweet words to coax the Marquis? Bah! Don't you even know what it is!"

Mrs. Xiao took the opportunity to vent her anger on Xie Ruyu, and at the same time indirectly blamed Feng Xiaoniang.

Then, before Lord Xiao got angry, he raised his head and spoke to him.

"My Lord, you have the leisure to hang out with a bitch here, but you never thought that our Xiao family might be in big trouble! I came to see you, Lord, not for myself, nor for Yu Sheng, but for our Xiao family!"

Lord Xiao had already been displeased with Madam Xiao. Now, when he heard her say that the Xiao family was about to face a disaster, he thought she was just cursing out of anger and became very angry.

"What nonsense are you talking about, woman? Our Xiao family is doing fine, why is there such a disaster? How dare you say anything? Isn't the Xiao family your family?"

Madam Xiao knew that Marquis Xiao had misunderstood her, and she was too lazy to explain, so she spoke unhappily.

"Since you received the imperial decree and gave your own son a lesson, haven't you ever thought about what the Xiao family should do in the future? Have you ever thought about why the Xie family is so aggressive?"

"First, they broke off the engagement with great fanfare, and then they started a plot in the court, forcing our son to lose his position as the crown prince and become the laughing stock of the entire capital. Is that the end? What will the Xie family do next? Have you ever thought about it, Lord?"

Lord Xiao calmed down temporarily.

Because Madam Xiao mentioned the Xie family, he vaguely sensed something was wrong, so he asked, "What do you want to say?"

With a sneer, Madam Xiao said directly: "My Lord, you don't know, right? The Xie family wants to join the Third Prince!"

With his eyes wide open, Lord Xiao immediately retorted.

"impossible!"

……

Xie family, Lord Xie’s study.

After the laughter, the study was silent.

After hearing what his daughter said, Lord Xie remained silent for a long time. Although his daughter's words were unpleasant to hear, when he thought about it carefully, it was the fact, so Lord Xie was speechless for a moment.

No one would be willing to have something they have always insisted on denied. Even the most magnanimous person would still feel a little uncomfortable.

This is what Lord Xie looked like at this moment.

These words were spoken by his beloved daughter. If it were someone else, Lord Xie would definitely argue with that person.

But precisely because these words were spoken by his own daughter, Lord Xie had to think about them carefully, take them seriously, and accept them.

After a while, Lord Xie sighed deeply, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

He suddenly realized something, looked up at Xie Lingxi and said, "Lingxi, in the last life, the disaster in our family, now I think, it's not your fault, it's all because father didn't set a good example, it's because father wasn't smart enough."

"If father was smart enough, you wouldn't be so easily deceived by the Xiao family, and our Xie family wouldn't be so easily framed. No matter how short the time it took for our Xie family to be framed and destroyed, if someone was willing to stand up and negotiate for us, we wouldn't have ended up with the whole family being executed."

Lord Xie started crying as he spoke, truly blaming himself.

Xie Lingxi didn't expect her father to be like this, and was a little at a loss for a moment, but she had no intention of blaming her father.

After realizing what was happening, I immediately went up to comfort him.

"Dad, what are you doing? I don't want to blame you. In my previous life, I was stupid and was deceived by the Xiao family. I didn't doubt them at all. How can it be your fault?"

Mrs. Xie also comforted her at this time.

"Xie Yunchuan, what are you doing? We are a family. Even if you are responsible for the ending in the previous life, it is not entirely your fault."

Mrs. Xie sighed.

"You don't like to go out and make friends. As your wife, I should not avoid you like this, as I am idle at home all day. You are busy enough in the court, so I should take care of the rear of our Xie family."

"I will go to all the banquets held by these ladies in the future! I will never make the same mistake again!"

Xie Zhibai also hurried forward to persuade him.

"Yes, Dad, we are a family. How could you have caused the ending in the previous life? Even if there is responsibility, it is the responsibility of all of us."

"Dad, please don't take all the blame on yourself. If you insist, then your son is more responsible. After all, I am the pillar of the family..."

"You are the pillar! What am I?"

Lord Xie was so angry that he retorted in a bad mood.

Seeing that Lord Xie, who had been crying just now, started quarreling with his son again, Mrs. Xie rolled her eyes and slammed the table.

"Alright! It's not too late now. Hasn't the Xie family been framed yet? It is said that knowing one's mistakes and correcting them is the greatest virtue. Now our family should stop doing things foolishly like before and think more about our own families and the Xie family, isn't that enough?"

Mrs. Xie really didn't want to see the child's father cry.

It would be fine if she cried secretly in front of me, it would still be a beautiful sight...

But what is this doing in front of the children?

Mrs. Xie suddenly lost her usual gentle and virtuous demeanor and said unhappily.

"Don't cry, what's the point of crying? Can it win back the emperor's trust and make the emperor pay more attention to our Xie family? The most urgent task is to think about how to get the Xie family out of the crisis of party disputes and how to gain the emperor's trust and attention!"

After saying this, Madam Xie ignored Marquis Xie's dull expression, and instead looked at Xie Lingxi, putting on a gentle face and speaking.

"Lingxi, what do you think we should do? You just said something very logical, and I think you have a plan in mind. I'm afraid your father doesn't have the energy to make trouble now. And if what happened in the last life is true, your father will have to bear a lot of responsibility."

"It's definitely not okay to let him, who has made a mistake once, take the lead. Lingxi, you should speak. We will all listen to you. What should we do first? What should we do second? Lingxi, you have the final say! Wherever you point, we will fight!"

As soon as Madam Xie said this, Lord Xie and Xie Zhibai also agreed, and Xie Lingxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
