Chapter 130 A Mess

Wang's mind was in a mess; she had no ability to think clearly and just wanted Xie Qingran to shut up.

"Shut up! Shut up!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Wang slammed a teacup down hard, staring at Xie Qingran with gritted teeth and a ferocious expression.

"How could I dare to talk nonsense about something so important?"

"This matter was handled by my father himself back then, so my mother can simply ask him, and the truth will become clear."

"Mother is truly loving. She cherishes the daughter of the Imperial Concubine as if she were her own eyes, yet she abandons her own daughter, me, on the estate and doesn't care about me at all."

"I've been in the village for over ten years, Mother. Have you ever sent me a single word, or made me a winter coat?"

As Xie Qingran spoke, she couldn't hold back her tears, which streamed down her face.

In her previous life, Xie Qingran never voiced these questions. She thought that as long as she stayed in the Xie family and lived a quiet life, everything would be alright.

But they never let her go, and they showed her no pity whatsoever!

In this life, Xie Qingran no longer wants to endure; she's going to make a scene, turn the world upside down!

Since she can't live a peaceful life, then none of us should live peacefully either.

Xie Qingran struggled to her feet and walked step by step to Wang Shi. Suddenly, she grabbed Wang Shi's wrist, her eyes filled with coldness and questioning.

"Mother, why?"

"When you gave birth to me, you were in pain for a whole day and night. How could you be so cold-blooded towards me? Why?"

This question has perplexed Xie Qingran in both her past and present lives, and today, she is determined to find an answer.

Wang seemed to have been grabbed by a ghost, and let out a scream. Then, pillows and blankets were thrown at Xie Qingran.

"Shut up, shut up, stop talking, get out, get out of here!"

"Get out! I don't have a daughter like you! I don't want a daughter like you! Get out of here!"

"Don't come any closer to me!"

Wang pointed at Xie Qingran, her eyes bloodshot and her face contorted in a rage. She looked nothing like a mother, but rather like a ghost returned from hell. Little did she know that it was Xie Qingran who had truly returned from hell!

At this commotion, Aunt Liu rushed in and hugged Madam Wang tightly: "Madam, Madam, are you alright, Madam?"

Fine, since I can't get an answer, I'll just let it go.

Xie Qingran looked at the mess in the room, smiled, turned around, and strode outside.

"Madam, Madam!"

"Quickly, summon the imperial physician! The lady has fainted!"

The entire Lianyi Garden was in chaos, brightly lit, but Xie Qingran, like a ghost, walked alone back to her Rose Garden step by step.

She sat quietly on the bed, listening to the noise from Lianyi Garden, the shouts from the front yard, and the chaos of the entire Xie family.

Xie Qingran showed no sign of panic. She remained as still as a wooden sculpture, sitting quietly on the bed without uttering a word.

Seeing Xie Qingran like this, Baozhu felt terrible and hurriedly asked, "Miss, are you alright? What... what happened to you?"

"fine."

Xie Qingran replied indifferently, then looked silently at the moon outside the window, feeling a chill creep into her heart.

The Xie family is utterly rotten and disgusting!

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

"Your Highness, it's very late, aren't you going to rest?"

Hongshan draped a coat over Xiao Jue in the courtyard and looked at him with some concern.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the Empress has already said that the Fifth Prince will be in charge of welcoming the bride, so it is not unfair to Miss Xie."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jue frowned and looked at Hong Shan with displeasure: "I'm getting married, and you want him to go fetch the bride? I'll go myself."

"But your legs..."

"Your Highness, we can't just expose this, can we?"

Sequoia also knew that it would be best for him to go in person, mainly because it would be really inconvenient for him to be in a wheelchair.

"What's wrong with wheeled vehicles? Are they not respectable?"

"Just tie a big red flower on it, that'll do."

Xiao Jue snorted, looking quite arrogant.

He was originally a handsome and bright young man, and even though he has restrained his temperament now, he will always inadvertently reveal his true nature.

"yes!"

Sequoia couldn't help but smile.

As she laughed, Sequoia felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

He sighed, looked up at the moon, and said in a choked voice, "If only the Marquis were still here."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the courtyard immediately became heavy.

On the other side, Xiao Yu couldn't sleep at all, so he went directly to Xiao Yanran's courtyard.

"Tomorrow, my eldest brother is getting married. That woman is really going to marry into our family!" Xiao Yu's face was gloomy, and he spat fiercely.

Seeing his expression, Xiao Yanran subconsciously shrank back and whispered, "Second Brother, Sister Xie is so good to us, why do you hate her so much?"

"You're brainless! She's nice to us, but it's all a lie. She just wants to marry your older brother!"

"Just wait until she marries into the family and has her own children, then see how she torments you!"

"Everyone says that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, so she's like a stepmother. Have you ever seen a stepmother who treats her children well?"

Xiao Yu's eyebrows furrowed tightly as she looked at her silly younger sister with displeasure.

"But she's not a stepmother, she's a sister-in-law."

Xiao Yanran's voice was soft and clearly lacked confidence, but she still wanted to speak up for Xie Qingran.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu's expression changed: "Are you my sister or his sister? Let me tell you, after she marries into the family, you are not allowed to give her a kind look. If you don't listen to me, I will tell my older brother, and my older brother and I will never speak to you again!"

"No!"

"Second brother, please don't do this, okay? I'll be good, I promise I'll be good!"

Xiao Yanran was so frightened that she cried loudly and grabbed Xiao Yu's sleeve.

That's more like it.

Xiao Yu snorted and looked at Xiao Yanran: "From now on, you are not allowed to give her a nice look. If she talks to you, you are not allowed to talk back. If she offers you anything, you are not allowed to take it, understand?"

"Um."

Xiao Yanran was very sad.

She still wore the pearl hairpin that Xie Qingran had given her, which she really liked. She was also wearing a bodice that Xie Qingran had made herself. No one in the mansion had given her any of these things!

But her second brother wouldn't allow her to accept these things.

"When they get married tomorrow, you'll cry with me, cry for our parents, understand?" Xiao Yu snorted, glaring at Xiao Yanran: "We can't let that woman get away with it, otherwise, our lives will be miserable!"

Xiao Yanran really didn't understand why, but she didn't dare to disobey her second brother, so she could only reluctantly nod and agree: "Yes, I understand."
