As soon as Xie Zhengfu returned home, as soon as he jumped off his horse, he saw Mrs. Chen rushing out angrily, followed by three children and a large number of entourage holding gifts.
"Sister-in-law, have you just come out of the Hou's Mansion?" Although he saw Mrs. Chen's expression was strange, Xie Zheng still stepped forward to say hello to her.
"A commoner woman is a humble woman, but she cannot afford to be called 'sister-in-law' by the prince!" Seeing Xie Zheng, Mrs. Chen became even more angry.
When Sister Rou was kidnapped and she was eager to ask him for help, he hid in Zuo Yi without even showing his face. Now that Sister Rou is fine, he has returned home in a hurry.
The prince of the Hou family and the noble daughter of the Hou family, now it seems that this is clearly an unscrupulous and treacherous villain in the family!
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Yes, did Ayao say something wrong to make you angry?" Although Mrs. Chen's words were very uncomfortable, but Xie Zheng was still good-tempered towards her.
road.
"Uncle, mother came here specifically to thank my aunt and cousin Wu." Xu was afraid that Mrs. Chen would say something radical again, so Chen Jiayan quickly jumped out and said.
Xie Zheng smiled at her and was about to speak, but Mrs. Chen suddenly turned around and raised her hand to slap Chen Jiayan as if she was angry.
"Unruly thing! Is it your turn to speak in front of the Crown Prince?" After holding back her anger for a long time, Mrs. Chen finally couldn't contain it, and she vented all her anger on her daughter.
"Mother..." Looking at the bright red slap marks on Chen Jiayan's face, Chen Jiamu felt a little distressed, but after he called out to his mother, he suddenly couldn't speak anymore.
Just now at the Hou Mansion, Xie Wu's words seemed to give him a slap in the face.
He always thought that his second sister's marriage was due to his mother's generosity and support, but he didn't expect that it was not the case at all. For a moment, he didn't know how to treat the mother he had called for more than ten years.
Compared with Chen Jiamu's dilemma, Chen Jiarou looked much colder. She stood motionless behind Mrs. Chen. Even after seeing Chen Jiayan receive this slap, there was a hint of happiness in her eyes.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" No matter how well-mannered Xie Zheng was, he couldn't help but turn cold at this moment.
If you want to teach your child a lesson, you can go home and teach him a lesson. If you act like this in front of him in front of the Marquis' Mansion, isn't this a deliberate act to show him?
"Why, do I have to get the prince's consent even to teach my own children now?" Mrs. Chen sneered and replied to Xie Zheng without hesitation.
She has had enough of the Wu'anhou family!
No matter it's Xie Zheng or Xie Wu, oh, by the way, there's also the old lady in their house! There's no one good in this family!
"Sister-in-law, if you want to teach your child a lesson, you can go back and teach her a lesson. What's the point of teaching a child a lesson in front of me?" Xie Zheng looked at Mrs. Chen and suppressed his anger.
Over the years, the Chen family has been interested in A Yao, and he has always kept it in mind. Therefore, although he felt a little uncomfortable when Mrs. Chen came to the Hou Mansion, he still told A Yao to entertain them well. But he never expected that Chen
Madam is such a messy person!
"I know that the nobles of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion look down on us relatives who are from merchant families. Even the gifts given to you are despised by you because they smell like copper. But, Your Majesty, if you really despise us so much, you shouldn't have done it in the first place.
Marry a daughter-in-law who comes from a merchant family! You didn’t dislike our money at that time, so why do you dislike it now?" More and more people were looking around, and Mrs. Chen suddenly became jealous, and she pointed
The tip of Xie Zheng's nose raised his voice and accused him desperately.
She was about to be kicked out of the capital by Xie Wu's emissary, and all the marriages she had promised back then were ruined. Now that she had reached this point, why should she save face for the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion!
She wished that everyone in the capital knew the ugly face of Wu'an Houfu!
Xie Zheng thought that compared to his father, his cultivation was already very good, but now, with Mrs. Chen pointing at his nose and cursing like this, he couldn't suppress the anger that kept rolling in his chest.
If Mrs. Chen were not a woman, he would have already punched her in the face at this moment.
"Mother, please stop talking!" Seeing Xie Zheng's increasingly ugly face, even though Chen Jiayan had just been slapped by Mrs. Chen, she couldn't help but stand up again.
They didn't care about this matter originally.
Moreover, given their status, how can it be so easy to find a suitable marriage in the capital in a short period of time? Moreover, even if the aunt really helps them find a marriage in the capital, those people must also be looking at the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion.
For their own sake, or because they are coveting their Chen family’s wealth, is this kind of marriage really the best thing for them?
She had said these words to Mrs. Chen countless times last night, but she couldn't listen to them. She insisted on going her own way. She didn't understand, didn't Arou's incident teach them a deep enough lesson? Although the capital was prosperous, but
The crisis hidden inside is beyond what people like them can handle. Why doesn't mother understand this?
"Shut up!" Seeing her daughter stand up and interrupt her again, Mrs. Chen was furious. She raised her hand and wanted to slap Chen Jiayan again, but she didn't want to, but was struck by the indifference and coldness in her eyes.
I was shaken by anger.
In her impression, although this daughter has always been taciturn, she is very well-behaved and obedient. This is the first time she has stared at her so angrily.
Seeing Chen Jiayan like this, Mrs. Chen suddenly couldn't do anything.
"What's wrong, aunt? Didn't you show off enough power in the Hou Mansion just now?" Just when Mrs. Chen was hesitating to take her hand back, a crisp voice suddenly rang out.
"Ah Wu." Seeing Xie Wu coming out, Xie Zheng's anger dissipated a little, and he called her with a smile.
Xie Wu walked up to Xie Zheng with a smile. She blessed Xie Zheng uprightly, then looked up at her and said, "Father, when you came back, why didn't you ask someone to come back first to call the branch? In this way, I would be fine too."
I’ll come to greet you early in the morning.”
"What's wrong with you? Even if you don't come, I will go to Hengzhiyuan to see you!" Looking at Xie Wu's cold and charming face, Xie Zheng couldn't help but feel good, and he was not that offended by Mrs. Chen just now.
I feel relieved.
Xie Wu smiled, and then she finally turned her attention to Mrs. Chen, "Auntie, if the Marquis of Wu'an really did what you said and disliked the Chen family as merchants, they would never have let the Chen family's daughter in, let alone
Eight large sedans were carried to welcome her as the eldest wife of the Marquis Mansion! Looking at the entire capital, except for our Wu'an Marquis Mansion, there is no noble family where the head wife is from a merchant's family! My aunt was sending a thank-you gift.
The flag was to force my mother to agree to something she couldn't agree to. When my mother didn't agree, you made a big fuss in the Cuizhu Courtyard. Now, you pointed at my father's nose and cursed to ruin the reputation of the Wu'an Hou Mansion. You said it one by one.
Relative, do you think what you did was done by your relative?"
"Why do you mean I forced her to agree? If your mother couldn't do it, she shouldn't have agreed back then! She's both committed and determined. This isn't betrayal!" When she saw Xie Wu's face, Mrs. Chen became even more angry.
"Mom, do you have to make such an ugly scene?" Seeing more and more people watching, Chen Jiayan became more and more worried.
Even though there is something wrong with Mrs. Chen, she also has her own difficulties. Moreover, she is her father's biological sister and his biological aunt. If things go wrong like this, how can the two families communicate with each other in the future?
"Why do I have to make such an ugly scene? It was obviously their betrayal first!" Mrs. Chen glared at Chen Jiayan. At this moment, she felt extremely aggrieved.
It was obviously Chen who agreed. For this reason, she had promoted so many suitable marriages in Yangzhou and rushed all the way from Yangzhou to the capital regardless of the hardships. But now, she refused!
She is so unkind and unjust, why should she care about her relatives?
As early as when Xie Wu threatened to drive her out of the capital, they were no longer relatives!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen was so angry that her aggrieved eyes almost popped out.
Seeing Mrs. Chen's expression, Chen Jiayan couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. She reached out and held Mrs. Chen's hand firmly, and said to her with red eyes, "Mother, I know you are wronged, but aren't we a family? You
Even if I don't think about anything else, I still think about Ah Wu risking her life to save Sister Rou!"
Chen Jiayan also said these words last night, but Mrs. Chen couldn't listen to them at all. But now, one after another hit the wall and finally completely extinguished Mrs. Chen's hope. She looked at Chen Jiayan's red eyes and burst into tears.
Unable to restrain herself, she dropped her voice, "Ayan, Mom doesn't want this either. Mom, Mom just wants you two to be well..."
She only has two daughters, and her only hope in this life is that they can live a better life.
Seeing Mrs. Chen and her daughter hugging each other and crying, Xie Wu's cold heart suddenly relaxed a little.
Even though Mrs. Chen looks ferocious and ugly, her heart for the Chen sisters is true. The reason why she is so messy is because of their future plans, unlike Mrs. Chen...
That's not right, Mrs. Chen will always plan for her own child, but the child she plans for is A Xu.
After seeing off Mrs. Chen and returning home, Xie Wu talked and laughed as usual, but Xie Zheng still noticed something.
From the first moment he saw Xie Wu after returning home, he knew that he owed this daughter a lot. He wanted to make up for it, but he found that this daughter had grown up before he knew it.
To the point where he no longer needs the protection of his father, and even, conversely, he still needs her guidance.
Because of this, he was particularly concerned about Xie Wu, and he always wanted to see if he could make up for her. Therefore, when the Chen family's mother and daughter hugged each other and cried just now, although Xie Wu didn't say anything, he still
There was a little loss seen in her eyes.
Ayao owes her this.
It's also what he, the father, owes her.
"Ah Wu, your mother is confused, but it doesn't matter, you still have me!" Seeing that he was about to reach the main entrance of Cuizhuyuan, Xie Zheng suddenly reached out and grabbed Xie Wu, and he said to Xie Wu with a smile.
Xie Wu's eyes moved slightly, and she smiled, "Father, what are you talking about."
Xie Zheng laughed. He reached out and patted Xie Wu on the shoulder and said, "I didn't say anything. I just thought that the formal title of 'father' sounded awkward!"
"Then what do you want me to call you?" Looking at Xie Zheng's cheerful face, Xie Wu also smiled.
"When I'm happy, I call you grandpa, and when I'm angry, I call him old man!" Seeing Xie Wu smile, Xie Zheng smiled even more.
Xie Wu smiled again at Xie Zheng's words and said, "But you are not old either!"
"Then just call me Dad! That's what that stupid boy A Xu called me!" Xie Zheng added with a smile.
Xie Wu smiled, and then called him politely, "Daddy."
"Hey!" Xie Zheng responded cheerfully, then threw his head back and laughed.
Looking at Xie Zheng's strong and tall body, listening to his hearty and joyful laughter, Xie Wu felt countless warmth pouring out of her heart. For the first time, she felt as if she was really being loved and pampered.
