"Are you crazy!?"
Xie Cen felt a burst of rumbling in his head. Using his instincts to save Chan Er, who was under the Lady Xu's demonic claws, the blood that spurted out from Chan Er's forehead splashed all over the bed.
Xie Cen randomly grabbed a sheet and pressed it on Chan Er's forehead, "Hurry up and ask for a doctor! "Someone, pull the lady out for me."
Only then did everyone rush in, two senior servants supporting Lady Xu from the left and right, saying, "Madam, quickly stop messing around, let's go back first."
"Go back? "Bah!" Lady Xu was completely enraged. Her originally weak wife struggled, but the two mama couldn't stop her, "See how I beat that shameless little bitch to death!"
"Master, I'm fine." Chan Er replied as she pressed her forehead and stood up, "It is only natural for Madam to be angry at me, don't blame her."
Xie Cen sighed in his heart. In comparison, Lady Xu was like an unreasonable shrew. When Lady Xu saw Chan Er like this, he got angry and pointed at Chan Er's nose, scolding, "One day when I'm here, don't even think about climbing up to the Aunt's position. I'm going to find Old Madem to negotiate with him!"
The Lady Xu suddenly thought of the Old Madem, because she knew that the Old Madem was strict and was extremely concerned with the matter of Xie Cen's Aunt Na. If the Aunt Zhao wasn't present at that time, he definitely wouldn't have been promoted to be the Aunt.
Since Xie Cen couldn't stop her, he could only let her go. Lady Xu went to Old Madem's place with a stomach full of grievances, and coincidentally, Xie Jingxi paid respects to her early in the morning, so she was also there. They were all shocked by Lady Xu's appearance. Her clothes were torn and messy and there were even palm marks on her face. She was in an extremely sorry state.
"What happened to you?" the old lady asked.
"Mother, you have to uphold justice for my wife. Girl Chan Er in front of my daughter-in-law, last night, while Master was drunk, she entered Master's room, she seduced Master, Master did not even go to court today, if I did not go knocking at the door, I actually did not get up, I felt like I did not properly teach that girl Chan Er a lesson, Master already hit me, you said that he wants to take a look, no matter what, I can let Mother know, it's fine if I discuss it with you, how could you secretly spoil my wife like this!"
Lady Xu knew how to pick the important points, but the two points that Hu Mei wanted her concubine to die was enough for her to be prejudiced. Furthermore, Xie Cen was willing to go to court early for a woman for the first time in his life, this was a matter of principle.
"There is actually such a thing!" Bring me over here and let me take a look. "
Hearing Lady Xu's description, Xie Jingxi felt that Chan Er should not have done so, but Lady Xu's expression was also muddled, a man at this time cannot speak of fairness and reason, the more he objected, the worse the situation would be, and what's more it was making such a mess.
With regards to the little girl Chan Er, Xie Jingxi had never had a good impression about his. She vaguely remembered that in his previous life, Xie Cen had indeed taken in another aunt, but he didn't really remember who it was. Her marriage was imminent, there was no need for her to wade in this muddy water, thus he accompanied Old Madem, but did not say a word.
Xie Cen had personally brought over a bandaged Chan Er, and no matter how you looked at it, it looked like she was a young wife who had been bullied. The old lady could not bear to see Xie Cen's mischievous attitude, and seeing that Xie Cen loved and cared for his so much, she became even more furious.
"You look perfectly fine. Why didn't you come to court today?"
Speaking to this point, Xie Cen was naturally in the wrong. He lowered his head and said, "Mother, it was son who indulged himself."
The Old Granny slammed the table in anger. "I saw that you've been an official for so many years and swallowed all the things I've taught you into your dog belly. Today, I don't care about anything else. I'll have to apply family law first."
She did not ask anyone else to do it, and instead took out the house law to do it herself. With a few slaps, the sound of bamboo slapping against flesh made everyone's heart tremble, and no one dared to breathe out.
Everyone said that the Old Madem was stern and strict, but no matter if it was the Lady Xu or Xie Jingxi, no one had ever personally witnessed such a scene. The Pavilion Elder, who was called the wind and rain in the Imperial Court, was now kneeling in front of his mother and accepting the punishment.
Lady Xu, the person who came to complain about this was originally only against Chan Er, who knew that the old lady would not play the cards she wanted, and actually beat Xie Cen up first. The originally pretentious Chan Er was also staring blankly, feeling very nervous, afraid that the old lady would settle this score with her.
After the old lady finished beating up Xie Cen, she was extremely tired herself. Xie Jingxi went forward to support her, "Grandmother, what are you doing?
"Mother, it's my son, Meng Lang." Although not a single drop of blood could be seen on his body, the injuries were all on his body. He kowtowed to Old Madem and said, "I know that I am in the wrong and I do not dare to refute, but Lady Xu should not have hurt her. It is not that I am biased towards Chan Er, but she is truly wronged, since we are already in the same room, I hope that Mother can grant me that wish."
Xie Cen could not find anything wrong with his words, since the Chan Er had followed him, there was no reason for her to be a girl anymore. In the end, she had to bring Xie Cen to her room, and if it were another Old Madem, she would probably want to marry him. Lady Xu could not take this lying down, and she also could not resist. Seeing Xie Cen pleading for Chan Er, he was not willing to accept the fact.
Mother, it's not that my wife is jealous, Master wants to marry an aunt, I don't have any reason to stop him, but no matter what, we have to pick out the girl who married into our family. Mother, it's not that my wife is jealous, I don't have any reason to stop you, but no matter what, we have to pick the girl who married into our family.
Seeing that, Chan Er also knelt down and kowtowed, "Old Madem, Chan Er does not ask for anything else, as long as you let me stay in front of Master to serve you, it's fine even if you have to be a little girl. I do not complain, I only beg that you do not blame me, my wife, for scolding me is my duty."
What a nice little girl, she could not help but climb onto Xie Cen's bed step by step. If Lady Xu was half as smart as her, she wouldn't have been able to stay till now.
"Since that's the case, Chan Er will stay in front of me for now. We'll talk about the aunt's matter later."
The old lady had her ways, so she didn't care about the logic behind each of them. She calmly slapped the table, making everyone speechless. If she didn't beat him up, then he wouldn't be able to punish her, and if he didn't help Chan Er carry his concubine, or leave her in front of Xie Cen, with the old lady here, no one would be able to save her.
Originally, Xie Cen was worried that if Chan Er stayed in the manor, she would cause trouble for her sooner or later. However, he was also worried that if Old Madem didn't agree, he would let her stay in front of Lady Xu as a little girl.
As for Lady Xu, they did not mention anything about Chan Er being an aunt, nor did they put her in front of Xie Cen as a girl. This was already the best arrangement, so the couple did not dare to have any more objections.
The only unexpected possibility was the Chan Er. No matter how she tried, she couldn't get anything out of Xie Cen's bed.
Just as the three were deep in thought, the manager suddenly came in from outside with a panicked expression. Old Madem frowned, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Go back to the Old Madem, Master, something happened to the Zhao Chang Clan, Liu Er is a small child."
"What did you say!" Xie Cen was shocked, "What's going on?!"
"Master, Zhao Chang's family is already in the front courtyard, I don't know where Liu Er passed down the information to them, but Madam said that she didn't want her to give birth to a child, saying that the direct descendants of Xie Family can't be the children of Fifth Young Master and this lowly slave, even if they were to have children in the future, they have to go to the mother's side. Liu Er couldn't bear it and swallowed the medicine."
The expression in Xie Cen's eyes when he looked at Lady Xu could simply be described as sinister and terrifying. Lady Xu was shocked, it was true that she had such a thought, but how could it be spread out? After thinking about it, she suddenly thought of the Chan Er. Back then she had told him to hint Liu Er, could it be that she had thoughts of plotting against him at that time?
Lady Xu looked at Chan Er fiercely, but Chan Er had an innocent face. She knew that Lady Xu would not recognize her, it was a fact that Lady Xu had those thoughts. If she were to be bitten out, she could say that she would listen to orders, but Lady Xu could not.
"Master, I have been wronged, I have never said such words, who was the one who was blabbering behind the scenes, I am obviously happy that Nan was able to have a girl and a girl, how can I have such thoughts?"
But the Chan Er acted too arrogantly, she looked as though she did not dare say anything, and even helped the Lady Xu cover everything up. What was there that Xie Cen did not understand, he pointed at the Lady Xu in disappointment: "I never thought that you would become like this, you, you have truly disappointed me!"
Xie Cen then brushed his sleeves and left, his words were worse than even hitting Lady Xu, he directly squatted on the ground, as if he had sucked in all his energy, he was only staring at Chan Er like a sharp blade, wishing that he could gouge out some blood and pull out some bones.
Liu Er's child was gone, and to the Zhao Family, it was like a bolt out of the blue. They wished for a child to cover their face, and if they wanted to take it again, it would inevitably be troublesome, furthermore, this was a hatred that had a right. It was because their wife couldn't bear to see Liu Er give birth to a direct descendant, and forced her to give birth, that was impossible.
The Zhao couple and Zhao Chang were also making a ruckus in the courtyard. Originally, only a few people knew that Liu Er's child was the fifth young master of the household, so when this incident broke out, they could guess what was going on. However, all of them pointed at the Lady Xu, thinking that their wife's actions were really not very proper.
Liu Er did not know where she found the concocting medicine, but she still did not fall down even after a long time, and in the end, she forcibly struck it down, and even her life went missing. Xie Cen showed kindness and invited the best doctor in the house over to take a look, and in the end, he was able to save the person.
This was more like a collapse of the Zhao Family than a miscarriage. In the eyes of those who did not know this, this was the Lady Xu trying to force them to give up their bloodline.
