The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Wangshan relayed Xie Lin's words truthfully to Old Madam Xie, who smashed the teacup on the spot.

"He himself is in poor health and easily discouraged, so he curses our Xie family like this? I think he is a coward and hides in the mansion like a turtle. If he doesn't have the ability to manage the family, he should give up the position of head of the family as soon as possible. He has many healthy and outstanding nephews waiting for him!"

The words of Xie Lin and Old Madam Xie were spread out, and the Xie family and the servants in the mansion basically heard everything.

Most people think Xie Lin is exaggerating.

Some even felt that what the old lady said made sense. They all believed that Xie Lin was not in good health, which was why he was easily discouraged and lost confidence in himself and the future of his family.

He also agreed with what the old lady said, and asked him to give up the position of head of the family.

Although no one dared to say these words in public, the servants behaved much more frivolously, impetuously, and presumptuously than before.

However, there are very few people who believe that Xie Lin is still the same Xie Lin. If he says there will be trouble, there will be trouble, but they just don't know when it will come true.

After Mrs. Xie had her tantrum, she didn't care about other people's reactions. The next morning, she washed and changed her clothes, then asked someone to take the gifts and took Xie Mingzhi to Li's house.

Li Yiyue is the eldest daughter of the Li family and is the apple of everyone's eye. Today's coming-of-age ceremony was held with great ceremony. Almost all the prominent families in Shengjing City came.

After Mrs. Xie presented the gift, she was treated as a guest of honor. She had a kind and gentle smile on her face, and a little proud in her heart.

"Is there any sign of the Xie family going downhill? If there was, why would I be so warmly entertained here today? It is obvious that Xie Lin is really worrying too much! What he said is simply a curse on the family! Maybe it's time to change the head of the family!"

Thinking of Xie Lin, the old lady felt very uncomfortable.

The old lady had always disapproved of her husband pushing Xie Lin to the position of head of the family before he died, but there was no chance to stop it then. Now perhaps the time is ripe.

However, the party was lively, she was older, and everyone took good care of her, so her unhappiness soon dissipated.

Even the people from the Taifu family came in person to congratulate Li Yiyue. Old Madam Xie felt more and more that today's coming-of-age ceremony was worthwhile, otherwise she would not be able to establish friendship with the people from the Taifu family.

Yuan Heng, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, smiled and said, "Why don't you see Patriarch Xie? I heard that Patriarch Xie admires Miss Li. Today is a good day for Miss Li. Patriarch Xie should not not come."

Xie Mingzhi frowned, not liking Yuan Heng's words.

Everyone around looked over, obviously waiting to see the Xie family make a fool of themselves.

Someone nearby actually answered, "Young Master Yuan is here. No matter how much Master Xie admires Miss Li, I'm afraid he won't dare to come to her house."

Yuan Heng said: "What are you talking about? Patriarch Xie is extremely handsome and even though he is a businessman, he doesn't take me seriously."

"Is there such a thing? Does Patriarch Xie have eyes on the top of his head?"

Everyone started talking about how Xie Lin was so arrogant and not worthy of being in a respectable place. No wonder he didn't dare to show up at Li Yiyue's coming-of-age ceremony today.

Xie Mingzhi said, "Don't talk nonsense. My uncle was not in good health, so he didn't attend Sister Yue's coming-of-age ceremony. And my uncle was very polite to Sister Yue and never had any improper thoughts. Please be kind."

Yuan Heng smiled and said, "So, we have misunderstood Patriarch Xie. But the last time we met on the street, Patriarch Xie attacked me because of Miss Li. He also warned me at that time to stay away from Miss Li, which really made me very sad. I didn't want to compete with Patriarch Xie for Miss Li."

As soon as Yuan Heng said this, the people around him exclaimed again and started to attack Xie Lin.

Even Old Madam Xie felt extremely ashamed and hated Xie Lin in her heart. He was causing trouble outside and not allowing other people in the Xie Mansion to go out! He must give up the position of the head of the Xie family!

Madam Xie looked grim: "This is the first time I've heard of such a thing. Young Master Yuan should have sent someone to tell the mansion earlier. I would have certainly taught Xie Lin a lesson! He actually acted so recklessly. It was really too much. I apologize to Young Master Yuan on behalf of that rebellious son!"

Yuan Heng: "A man should be open-minded. I have long since stopped caring about what Patriarch Xie did. I told you about this today just to let Patriarch Xie know that I have no intention of being his enemy. I just want to make peace with him."

Madam Xie: "Master Yuan is so kind-hearted despite his young age. It is a blessing for the rebellious son to forgive his mistakes!"

Yuan Heng smiled and said, "You're welcome."

He even stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for Madam Xie: "This is a gift from the junior to Madam. Please don't mind me telling you about what happened with Patriarch Xie."

Someone nearby praised Yuan Heng's behavior: "Master Yuan is a gentleman who is open and honest, while others are villains who are always worried."

After drinking the cup of tea, Madam Xie felt much better. At least Yuan Heng offered her tea and saved her face - it was only Xie Lin who was embarrassed, not her.

After this farce, everyone went their separate ways, some had tea, some chatted, and some watched the show.

Xie Mingzhi wanted to go home early. She felt disgusted by what Yuan Heng had done today and felt that things were definitely not as Yuan Heng said.

Moreover, she trusted her third uncle very much and felt that he would not do anything without a purpose.

But the old lady said to her, "Mingzhi, go play with Yue'er and the others. You don't have to wait on me all the time."

Xie Mingzhi opened his lips. His grandmother had told him before he came that he had been stuck in the mansion for a long time and it was rare for him to come out, so he had to have fun before going back.

She didn't want to spoil her grandmother's fun, so she said, "Mingzhi will just wait on her."

She thought, maybe in this way, nothing would happen to her and her grandmother at the Li family today. Her grandmother was old, and she was just a woman. Even if others wanted to deal with the Xie family, they would not target them, right?

How much effect can it have on them?

Xie Mingzhi comforted himself in this way, and his mood calmed down a little.

However, the maidservant beside Li Yiyue came up to her and said, "Ms. Mingzhi, my mistress is waiting for you in the room. She said she has something to tell you. I wonder if you can come over?"

Old Madam Xie heard it and clapped her hands, "Go quickly, don't keep Yue'er waiting for too long."

Xie Mingzhi said, "Grandma, I'll be back soon."

It was the afternoon, and a play was being performed on the stage. Her grandmother was sitting with other old ladies and wives, watching the play.

Xie Mingzhi was led to a spacious courtyard, and the maid pushed open the door: "Miss Xie, please come in, my young lady is waiting inside."

Xie Mingzhi walked into the room and saw someone standing behind the screen. She thought it was Li Yiyue, so she walked around the screen. The next moment, she was shocked, "Master Yuan, why is it you?"

Yuan Heng was dressed in white with goose yellow edges on the cuffs and collar. His wide belt was also goose yellow. He looked very clean and luxurious. He walked towards Xie Mingzhi.

"The one waiting for you is me, not Yueyue." Yuan Heng showed a smile that he thought was handsome, and suddenly a dagger appeared in his hand. He pulled the servant next to him and stabbed the servant in the heart.

The servant was killed on the spot before he could react.

Xie Mingzhi screamed in fear, and his mind went completely blank.

Yuan Heng pulled out the dagger and cut a gash on his arm, from which blood immediately gushed out.

Xie Mingzhi was no longer able to think and instinctively ran out. At this moment, Yuan Heng grabbed her arm, stuffed the dagger into her hand, pushed her to the ground, and then stumbled out the door.

"My aunt is the queen, and my Yuan family is a royal family. How dare you murder me for Xie Lin!"
