Today, the world is governed by filial piety, and filial piety is the most important thing.

Seeing the two kneel down, the old lady burst into tears and pointed at Xie Zhaozhao, cursing, "Xie, you are so cruel!"

In front of the entire household, he said she was vicious?

Xie Zhaozhao raised her eyelids and glanced at the old lady, saying indifferently, "I don't understand what Mother is saying."

"Don't you understand? Why did you put a box of fake indentures in your study?" the old lady roared. "You almost ruined the Earl's family!"

"I cannot agree with what Mother has said."

"You still won't admit it?" the old lady roared hysterically. "Your sister-in-law's family is in jail, the steward hanged himself, the gate of the Earl's mansion was smashed, and now the Earl's mansion is even having trouble eating... It's all because of you, you woman!"

Her accusations prompted Gu Boyu to frown and say, "Mother, isn't this just being unreasonable? Why are you making such a fuss?"

The old lady glared at Gu Boyu and said angrily, "Shut up! If it weren't for the Crown Prince's help this time, not only would your wife be beheaded, but I would also have been arrested and beaten to death, and the whole family might have been exiled!"

Gu Chengyan glanced at his unfazed third uncle, then at his indifferent third aunt, his face filled with gloom.

Yingying is right, Xie Zhaozhao is not only corrupt, but also insidious!

He simply couldn't believe that the fake contract in the box had nothing to do with his third uncle and aunt. She must have deliberately made it, waiting for his mother to take the bait.

As he pondered how to speak, Gu Shaoyu stood up with an unhappy expression, extended his hand to Xie Zhaozhao, and Xie Zhaozhao stood up as well.

The old lady angrily said, "Who told you to get up?"

Xie Zhaozhao glanced at her indifferently: "Mother, you have overstepped your bounds!"
