Chapter 631 Scamming Family Property

"This is Xuan'er's fault; he didn't catch Yun'er in time. But Yun'er is a jealous child, perhaps because she doesn't have a mother to guide her. She has always been intolerant of Xuan'er taking a concubine and is not very friendly to that concubine..."

"So, it's because our Xie family doesn't know how to raise our daughters that we've brought shame upon your Chang family?"

Xie Zheng interrupted her with a smile and a deep voice, "Since that's the case, we don't have to stay at the Chang family. We should have Chang Yunxuan write a letter of divorce as soon as possible and let my daughter go home. We are not worthy of this marriage. It's better to end it early so as not to disgrace the Chang family."

Wei's expression froze, and she stared at Xie Zheng with wide eyes in surprise.

"Lord Xie, you must be joking," she quickly stood up. "I really didn't mean that. I misspoke just now. How could it be that I'm begging for his place? It's always been our Xuan'er who's begging for his place. The Xie family's only daughter is exceptionally talented and beautiful..."

"Ha! You flatter me. The Xie family's only daughter has inherited my lack of appreciation and understanding of romance, which must have put your Xuan'er in a difficult position. Although my daughter and I haven't seen each other for a long time, we have very similar bad tempers. The Emperor can't do anything to me, so how can your Xuan'er control the unyielding Yun'er? It's my fault for not disciplining her properly. Let's cut our losses here. Anyway, my Yun'er can't give birth to a son and can't carry on the Chang family's lineage. Please arrange a marriage between you two."

Just then, Xie Lingyun appeared outside the courtyard, and Xie Zheng got up and strode out.

Song Chunxue glanced at the anxious Wei Shi and thought to herself, "Isn't Lord Xie quite good at handling things? He explained it all in just a few words."

"father."

Yun'er overheard his words outside the door, and the emotions she had been holding back for years burst forth uncontrollably. She threw herself into Xie Zheng's arms and cried.

Xie Zheng's eyes reddened, and he gently touched the top of her head.

"Good child, I'm sorry you've been wronged. Let's go home." He then instructed Liu Chunshu, "Take the gift back with you. It won't be of any interest to the Chang family anyway. Use it to nourish Yun'er."

"yes!"

“Father-in-law, please don’t be in such a hurry to leave. This is unacceptable,” Madam Wei glared at Xie Lingyun and couldn’t help but lecture her, “What’s wrong with you, child? You’ve married into the Chang family and even had a child. What’s so important that you’re urging your father to write a letter of divorce…”

"No, we won't accept the divorce papers. Let Yunxuan write a proper divorce agreement so we can part amicably. Otherwise, I, Xie, will file a lawsuit with the Emperor and ask him to seek justice for my son. It's just a matter of course."

Xie Zheng calmly interrupted Madam Wei, "Marrying into your family doesn't mean I'm being sold into it. Let that scoundrel Mo Jiang wait and see!"

As they spoke, the maids and servants carrying the two children led the way out.

Mrs. Wei panicked, realizing that they were serious.

"Wait! The child belongs to the Chang family, how could you..."

Song Chunxue stood in front of her, saying, "The children were born to Xie Lingyun. Since you are making things difficult for them because they are daughters, you probably don't love them. Yun'er will take the children with her and raise them as treasures, so there's no need to worry."

"How dare you!" Madam Wei shoved Song Chunxue. "Who do you think you are, interfering in the affairs of our two families?"

As a result, Song Chunxue remained motionless, and a short sword flashed in front of her, its sharp tip pointed at Wei Shi's forehead.

"ah!"

Mr. Wei had never seen such a scene where the true intentions were revealed, and he was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.

Her sharp, slanted eyes glared at their departing figures, and she raised her hand to her chest, shouting, "Quick, quick, go and fetch the master!"

Xie Zheng was relieved that the Chang family father and son were not at their residence, otherwise he would not have been able to take the child away so easily.

Xie Lingyun had instructed the maids and servants beforehand to pack the child's things and put them in the carriage. Now, she boarded the carriage in an orderly manner.

After the carriage drove out of the alley and the Chang family did not chase after it, Xie Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief and hugged her two children tightly.

Back at the Xie family home, the two children showed no signs of the adults' nervousness, and happily walked down the steps hand in hand.

Xie Lingyun's two daughters, one four years old and the other two, are at the age of being innocent and adorable. In the summer, they wear light pink shirts and look like two soft and chubby little dumplings. You can tell from their appearance that Yun'er has raised them very well.

The maids and servants followed the child straight into the garden to play. Xie Lingyun was so excited that she didn't stop them.

They entered the house, and Xie Lingyun was so excited that she wanted to kneel down before Xie Zheng.

"You child, get up quickly," Xie Zheng said gently, his deep voice slightly hoarse, looking gratefully at Song Chunxue, "If it weren't for Sister Song, I wouldn't have done such a thing today."

Song Chunxue's ears immediately burned. "Xie Zheng, don't talk nonsense! I didn't say anything! I didn't instigate you!"

"It's not that I'm instigating you, it's just that I've seen so much of your teachings and learned a lot from you. Luckily, I was watching from the sidelines when you were confronting someone before."

"You..." Song Chunxue was both embarrassed and angry. "Fine, so you mean I corrupted you?"

Xie Lingyun laughed uncontrollably, "Aunt, please don't misunderstand. My father didn't mean that. He is genuinely grateful to you. In the past, my father would only argue with people in a bookish way, rarely being as direct and ruthless as he is today."

"..." Song Chunxue took a breath, "Then I'll take it as a compliment."

Honestly, this father and daughter insisted on praising her in such a serious manner, what could she do?

Looking back, she still felt that she had acted impulsively and shouldn't have offended those powerful and influential people.

If there's a next time, she'll definitely be more subtle and tactful in her criticism.

A measured approach is the safest strategy.

Being emotionally agitated indicates a lack of consideration.

"Father, what should I do next?" Xie Lingyun exhaled a breath of stale air, still shaken.

After enduring humiliation in the Chang family for more than five years, she finally got her chance to vent her anger, but she had little experience and was inevitably flustered.

"Leave the rest to us. I only ask you, if Chang Yunxuan sincerely admits his mistake, are you willing to give him a chance?"

Xie Lingyun's face turned cold, her expression resolute. "Unless he divorces his concubine and gives me justice, there is absolutely no way he will agree."

That means there's no chance.

"Understood. You can settle down here. From now on, you will be in charge of managing everything in this mansion. The shops and land will also be gradually handed over to you. I will talk to Xie Zhao about it."

Xie Lingyun was stunned. "Is this appropriate?"

“You are my own flesh and blood, how could it be inappropriate?” Xie Zheng’s gaze darkened slightly when he mentioned Xie Zhao. “I will give up some things for my cousins ​​to thank them for their help over the years. From now on, you will be in charge of the Xie family.”

"Father." Xie Lingyun knelt down and cried loudly, her voice trembling.

Song Chunxue quietly left the house.

Afternoon.

I had just finished lunch and hadn't even had a chance to take a nap when a servant came to report that Lord Chang and several relatives from the Xie family had arrived and were already waiting in the front hall.

Xie Zheng knocked on Song Chunxue's door.

"I'm afraid someone might come and disturb Yun'er. I'll trouble you to keep an eye on things while I deal with them in the front yard."

Song Chunxue nodded, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

She arrived at Xie Lingyun's courtyard and heard people talking about her as soon as she entered.

"The woman your father brought is clearly a troublemaker. She's only been back for a few days and she's already causing trouble for both the Xie and Chang families."

"Fifth Aunt, you've misunderstood. This was my own idea, and it has nothing to do with Aunt Song."

"Give me back Aunt Song! It'll be too late once she's swindled all your family fortune!"
