The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

The next morning, as expected, the patriarch of the family arrived.

"Xue Jinhua heard that Yuxuan was going to adopt a child?"

The patriarch was very majestic, and his voice was like a loud bell, making people's ears buzz. After that, he said to Wang without any politeness: "This is not feasible."

Wang said weakly, "That's what Xue Jinhua wanted."

The patriarch looked at Xue Jinhua again and said, "You are not infertile, and you are still so young. If you let Yuxuan adopt a child, and you have your own child in the future, the child will not have the title of eldest son. Wouldn't that make your child inferior?"

The patriarch looks like he has good plans for you.

Xue Jinhua said casually: "Patriarch, I know you are doing this for my own good, but it is true that I have not been able to give birth to a son or daughter for the Marquis's Mansion in these years, and I don't want the Marquis's Mansion to be extinct." Her tone was calm, with a faint smile on her face, and a hint of helplessness and sadness in her eyes.

The chieftain was so angry that his face turned blue. He scolded, "You can adopt a child, but you can't adopt a stranger. If you want to adopt a child, you have to find a child from our clan. How can you adopt a stranger?"

Xue Jinhua knew that their family was greedy by nature. They only thought about themselves and didn't care about other people's feelings.

The patriarch didn't know that Brother Fan was Zhao Yuxuan's illegitimate son, so he treated him as an outsider.

"Patriarch, this matter was already decided by our Marquis a long time ago, and the Marquis is very fond of this child. If we want to adopt a child from our family, we have to ask our Marquis." Xue Jinhua said with great embarrassment.

Wang knew Fan'er's identity, but she couldn't tell it now. If she didn't know that Fan'er was her grandson, she would not have let him be adopted by Yuxuan. Isn't this obviously handing over the Marquis' Mansion to an outsider?

"Patriarch, this child was brought back by Yuxuan, and he is someone Yuxuan cares about very much. Moreover, the child's biological father saved Yuxuan's life. Why don't we fulfill his wish?" Xue Jinhua said calmly.

Hearing this, the patriarch was immediately furious and shouted angrily: "You are just fooling around!" He stared at Xue Jinhua and the others, his eyes full of anger and dissatisfaction. "Even if it's a life-saving favor, you don't have to repay it in this way.

Do you want to hand over this mansion to outsiders in the future? I will not agree to it."

However, Xue Jinhua said softly: "Grand Patriarch, please don't be angry. We can consider other ways. Maybe there are other options that can satisfy Yuxuan's wish and ensure the stable development of the Marquis' Mansion."

Wang was extremely anxious, but as the patriarch, she did not dare to tell others that Fan Ge'er was her grandson.

Xue Jinhua watched all this in silence.

At this time, the fifth daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, Zhao Yuting, rushed in angrily and shouted at Xue Jinhua, "Sister-in-law, why do you want to deduct my money and my daily food?"

The patriarch's brows were tightly knitted together at this time, his face looked very unsightly, and he was secretly thinking that this Marquisate was becoming more and more chaotic, with no rules at all.

Seeing this, Wang quickly pulled her to her side and said, "What are you shouting about? Can't you see the patriarch is here? You are so disrespectful." A hint of displeasure flashed across Wang's face, but she still tried her best to remain calm and dignified.

Zhao Yuting was angry and didn't care about Xue Jinhua, so she didn't care about her mother's scolding. She looked at the patriarch with a wronged look, hoping to get his support.

"It just so happens that the patriarch is here. Please let him judge the matter for me. My sister-in-law has only been in charge for a few years, and she has begun to withhold my money so unscrupulously. She even won't let me buy the fabric for the clothes I usually buy. How can I live like this?" Zhao Yuting's voice was tearful and tears were flashing in her eyes, as if she had suffered great injustice.

At this time, Wang also asked, "Is Xue Jinhua like this?" She stared at Xue Jinhua, trying to find the answer from her expression.

Xue Jinhua stood there with a calm expression, seemingly not caring about Zhao Yuting's accusations. She nodded to indicate that this was the case.

"Mom, look, she has admitted it. You should deal with her and turn against her." Zhao Yuting said angrily, her voice full of anger and dissatisfaction. She widened her eyes and stared at Xue Jinhua fiercely, as if she wanted to eat her alive.

When Wang heard her daughter's words, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in her heart, but she still suppressed her anger and tried to remain calm and said: "Xue Jinhua, what's wrong with you? Hurry up and give the orders. Everything will remain the same. Give your sister some compensation and apologize." Her tone was stern and unquestionable, and it was obvious that she was very angry about Xue Jinhua's behavior.

Xue Jinhua said nothing. She was so arrogant. She thought I was controlling her. Did she really think my money came from the wind? It was ridiculous.

She looked at Wang and said, "Mom, I'm afraid this matter is not easy to handle." Her expression was serious and there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Brother Fan is about to enter the mansion. The Marquis has said that all of Brother Fan's food, clothing and expenses must be in accordance with the highest standards of a legitimate son, so everything must be calculated carefully. Although our family's business has improved this year, the income is still limited. If you spend more in one area, you must tighten up in another area!"

"Nonsense! How much can a child cost?" Wang retorted angrily.

Facing Wang's questioning, Xue Jinhua looked very innocent. She said slowly, "A child really doesn't cost much money right now, but didn't our Marquis say that he would buy a yard outside? This is a huge expense." There was a hint of helplessness and worry in her tone.

Wang opened her mouth to say something but didn't know where to start. Zhao Yuting, who was standing by, shouted angrily, "No! I don't care how you deduct other people's share, but you must not deduct mine!"

Xue Jinhua turned to look at the patriarch and said softly, "Since the expenses of our family cannot be cut, we can only reduce the expenses on the clan..." Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone to hear.

"No." The patriarch objected immediately. He looked at Wang with a gloomy face, his eyes revealing dissatisfaction and anger. His voice was low and firm, as if he could not be questioned.

"It's outrageous to cut the family expenses for an outsider." The tone of the chief patriarch was full of accusations and reprimands, making everyone present feel nervous and uneasy. He believed that it was wrong for Wang's family to cut the family expenses for an outsider, which would affect the interests and stability of the entire family.

Wang stood there with a look of pain and helplessness on her face. She couldn't explain her behavior because she knew that doing so might cause more trouble and controversy. She could only silently bear the criticism from the patriarch, but her heart was filled with bitterness.

However, only Wang knew that the so-called "outsider" was actually her eldest grandson. She felt like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express her pain.

He’s my own grandson!

"We only have so much silver. We can't deduct from my sister's money, nor can we deduct from the family. What should we do?" Xue Jinhua pretended to be in a dilemma and said to Wang: "Mother, why don't you make the decision on this matter?"

Wang was a little bit at a loss for a moment. On one side was a member of the clan, and on the other was her own daughter. She naturally favored her daughter, but she didn't dare to offend the clan leader easily. After all, the Marquis' Mansion is no longer what it used to be, and she will need to rely on the clan to manage various relationships and connections in the future!

"Grand Patriarch, why don't you let Yuxuan decide this matter? I can't make the decision." Wang said with some fear.

After all, the status of the patriarch is very high in the clan, so Wang naturally did not dare to offend him easily.

After hearing this, the patriarch showed a hint of displeasure on his face, but he also knew that he could not force Wang to make a decision. So, he frowned and said, "Well, since none of you can make the decision, then ask Yuxuan's opinion." After saying that, he turned around and left angrily.

Wang felt relieved as she watched the patriarch leave. However, she also realized that things were not that simple and there might be more troubles waiting for them.

The chieftain found Yuxuan and had a conversation with him. As for what they talked about, outsiders did not know. It was only known that the chieftain was very angry in the end and seemed very dissatisfied with Yuxuan's attitude.

For the sake of a widow, he was willing to offend the elders of the clan. I never thought that he would go to such an extent for Xue Qing'er.

Very good, since he wants to be good to her so much, then don't hide it, let me expose those shameful things little by little in public, so that everyone can see the true face of you two dogs and bitches.

He sneered in his heart, looking at everything in front of him, his heart filled with anger and disdain.

"Yinghua, go and ask someone to cut down all the plum blossoms in the yard. Don't leave a single one." Xue Jinhua said slowly, her voice as flat as if she was talking about the weather, but her eyes were full of calmness and determination.
