Chapter 456: Unfilial piety
Xie Xingchuan thought that Mrs. Xie would say unpleasant things, but she never expected that in her heart, she was a liar.
He couldn't help but worry again. He was disfigured and had no obvious features that could be recognized by Zhang Yunniang. Could Zhang Yuniang believe Mrs. Xie's words and think he was a child who loved to lie?
Will the family members he finally got ignore him because of this reason?
Niu Niu followed behind and took the words seriously, taking the initiative to hold Xie Xingchuan's hand: "Second brother, don't worry, I won't believe what outsiders say!"
Xie Xingchuan forced a smile on his face. At this moment, his limbs were cold and he didn't have the courage to step in.
When Zhang Yuniang in the room heard this, she said categorically: "Did Madam have any misunderstanding with Xingchuan? Xingchuan is sensible and well-behaved. He is a rare good boy. He will not lie. I believe he is my son."
But Mrs. Xie said: "Mrs. Gu, I think you are crazy about your son? Your son should have been two or three years old when he was abducted. Although Xie Xingchuan is unbearable, he is also the only son of my Xie family. We How could you just pick up a child and entrust such a big business? "
If an ordinary person hears this, he can't help but feel suspicious, but Zhang Yunniang is different.
"He is my son. Mother and son are connected. I will not admit my mistake." Zhang Yuniang was still very insistent.
Xie Xingchuan, who was outside the house, felt as if his whole body was wrapped in warm clouds. He finally found some strength and led Niu Niu in.
Mrs. Xie glared at her son, but Zhang Yunniang's eyes were full of concern.
"You haven't slept all night, why don't you get a little more rest? You are growing up, how can you continue to grow taller and stronger without a good rest? How about you go to sleep for a while?"
Although Zhang Yunniang talked a lot, Xie Xingchuan liked to listen to her.
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Xie only felt dazzled and said: "You are still snoozing when the elders are here. You are an unfilial thing. I think you are getting more and more alive!"
Such an undisguised rebuke is undoubtedly extremely embarrassing for a man who has already made achievements on the battlefield.
Xie Xingchuan was obviously scolded, but after seeing the concerned eyes of Zhang Yunniang and Niu Niu, he actually laughed sincerely.
"Mrs. Xie, if you want to blame, just blame me. It was me who stopped the servants from disturbing Xingchuan's rest. It was not his intention to be unfilial." Zhang Yuniang helped her son take all the responsibilities on herself.
Mrs. Xie said coldly: "If you really want to be filial, you should know that I will come to him."
Niuniu tilted her head and asked: "Why did the second brother know that you came to him? Did you tell him before going out?"
Mrs. Xie glanced at Niu Niu and thought that it was said that this little girl was very favored by the Queen Mother. She did not say anything harsh after all. She only said: "The good things he did last night, the Xie family was completely disgraced by him!"
Niuniu asked: "Brother, what good thing did you do last night? Doesn't doing good things bring honor to the family? Why does Aunt Xie say that?"
Mrs. Xie gave Xie Xingchuan a warning look.
But Xie Xingchuan had no intention of hiding anything and said, "I caught a few thieves last night who stole private property and sent them to Jingzhao Mansion. Now they have been convicted by Mr. Yin Li of Jingzhao Mansion." The madam's eyes were like knives piercing Xie Xingchuan's body.
“Second brother is so awesome! He is so clear-eyed and selfless!” Niu Niu praised loudly.
Children don't understand family scandal, they just think that Xie Xingchuan is as powerful as those detective bosses written in Gu Mingda's story books.
Xie Xingchuan said with a smile: "That thief relied on the fact that there was someone behind him, and he was unscrupulous when he stole things. He didn't even hide his tail."
Zhang Yuniang thought of all Mrs. Xie's behavior since she came to take care of the family, and she immediately understood that the thief that Xie Xingchuan took care of was Mrs. Xie's person.
The Gu family has only been rich for a short period of time. Before this year, there were no servants in the family. However, Zhang Yunniang often went to and from the inner house, and she had also heard the wives say that matters in the inner house were best settled in the inner house. If it spread, it would damage the family. reputation.
“Mrs.
But Mrs. Xie did not appreciate it. Instead, she sneered and reprimanded Xie Xingchuan: "Do you think that by relying on deceit and abduction to coax people to treat you as their own son, you can have more backers? Even if Xie stole it, What about the things in your private treasury? Who wouldn't keep it secret when something like this happens? It's just that you, the young master of the General's Mansion, want to kill your own nanny!”
Xie Xingchuan's face was full of embarrassment. No matter how brave he was in killing enemies on the battlefield and no matter how great his achievements were, in Mrs. Xie's eyes, he was still just a rat in the gutter.
Zhang Yunniang hurriedly protected the person behind her and said: "Mrs. Why be so aggressive?"
Niuniu sighed at the side and said: "In Aunt Xie's eyes, the nanny is more important than the second brother. No wonder the second brother wants to bring this matter to the Yamen. Otherwise, I'm afraid Aunt Xie will still want the second brother and the nanny." Grandma is apologizing."
The little girl's casual words made Zhang Yunniang's heart tremble. She glanced at her son with heartache and wondered to herself, could this be the kind of life that Xie Xingchuan lived in the Xie family?
It is better not to have a foster mother like Mrs. Xie.
Mrs. Xie said: "Everyone in the family is very sharp-tongued, so it's no wonder they take a white-eyed wolf like Xie Xingchuan as a treasure. Xie Xingchuan, I'm telling you today, if you don't want to go back to Xie's house, then don't go back in the future. I'll go to the Yamen myself." I will sever the relationship between mother and son and let the whole capital see what you are!"
Hearing the threat in the other party's words, Zhang Yunniang immediately tugged on Xie Xingchuan's sleeve: "Good boy, I know you are wronged, but I really can't bear to see your reputation be ruined. Otherwise, you should go back with her... "
After Zhang Yuniang said this, tears suddenly fell from her eyes. She could imagine how her son would be treated after returning to Xie's house.
But if she didn't go back, Mrs. Xie would go to the Yamen to sever the relationship between mother and son, and she would probably have to tell Xie Xingchuan that he was disobedient. By then, Xie Xingchuan's future would be completely over.
Xie Xingchuan also understood this truth, but he had been too frustrated these past years. He stiffened his neck and did not move, saying: "If I can't be a general, then I will be a trafficker and a pawn."
Zhang Yunniang's expression changed drastically. She knew better than anyone else how much Xie Xingchuan liked the border town and how much he wanted to stay there and serve the country loyally.
"Don't be impulsive! If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about General Xie. How much effort he put into training you." Zhang Yunniang advised.
