Chapter 811: Even the best-tempered people have their own intractable weaknesses

Aunt Xu has become more efficient in her actions in recent years, but she has always been gentle at heart.

Everyone who has come into contact with the Xu family says that Second Aunt Xu is aggressive, but Third Aunt Xu is gentle. Beneath her straightforwardness lies an unconcealable gentleness, and she is a person with a very good temper.

But no matter how good-tempered a person is, there are still some weak spots that cannot be touched.

Xu Yanran is Aunt Xu's Achilles' heel.

The third wife's baby is the treasure that they carefully protect and raise with all their heart. It is their life.

No one had ever seen Aunt Xu San so furious.

Xu Yanran subconsciously grabbed Sang Zhixia's hand, and Sang Zhixia patted the back of her trembling hand soothingly.

After a moment of shock, Uncle Xu forced himself to calm down and sit back down. This was the scene that Mr. Guo happened to see when he came.

Before Mr. Guo could say anything, Uncle Xu said with a forced smile, "Oh, I finally waited for you."

Mr. Guo didn't have time to react and laughed dryly: "What's going on?"

"We are all polite people. Even if there are misunderstandings, we can just sit down and talk it out slowly. Why make such a fuss..."

"I'd like to preach."

Uncle Xu interrupted Master Guo and said expressionlessly, "It's a pity that Master Guo hasn't shown up yet. As a man, I can't argue with your wife."

"Otherwise, if this gets out, wouldn't it seem like I'm too intolerant?"

It would be a good idea to leave Mrs. Guo's situation to Aunt Xu San, so he can also have a good talk with Mr. Guo.

When the elders are speaking, the younger generations are not allowed to interrupt.

Sang Zhixia gestured to the others to sit down, while Aunt Xu held the knife firmly on Mrs. Guo's neck.

Mrs. Guo tried to struggle and got hurt. She was so frightened that she fell into the chair and dared not speak.

Aunt Xu seemed to sense the gaze from behind her and said without looking up, "Now that Miss Guo is here, the knife will naturally stop bleeding."

"Instead of worrying about how to persuade me to spare her life, Mr. Guo should send someone to urge her to do so, so that Miss Guo won't lose her mother's life in vain due to a momentary negligence."

Having said that, it's completely over.

Mr. Guo was extremely anxious but was afraid of saying something wrong that would upset the person who was losing control of his emotions. He could only stomp his feet with a dark face: "What are you still standing there for?"

"Go find the young lady quickly!"

"Go!"

Guo Jia was forcibly taken away by Diancui and Huashan.

When these two men broke into his boudoir, Guo Jia was so angry that he wanted to kill someone to vent his anger, but when he was caught here and saw the condition of Mrs. Guo, his legs immediately went weak.

Hearing the dull thud of knees hitting the ground, Nan Weiwei and Tian Ying'er curled their lips in disdain at the same time.

Xu Yanran looked at the limp figure on the ground with a complicated expression, and said incoherently, "It was you who spread the rumor, saying that I went to Chuzhou to show off in front of the young prince, so that I could get close to him and have a chance to rise to prominence in the future?"

This was the first sentence Xu Yanran said after entering the room.

The voice is not loud, but every word is clear, so no one will not be unable to understand.

Mr. Guo's face changed drastically when he heard the voice: "What?!"

"It's not enough that you didn't teach your daughter well, but your ears are also not working well?"

Uncle Xu said with a half-smile, "Your beloved daughter chose a time when there were many people around to mistreat my daughter. She spoke with such seriousness that it was as if she had witnessed it herself."

"Such a big thing, how could you, as a father, not know about it?"

Mr. Guo really didn't know.

Jiang Yubai is the only son of the prince, and is a uniquely noble person in Lingnan today.

Once you enter Kyoto, you will be honored above everyone else. This is a fact that everyone knows.

What makes people even more excited is that Jiang Yubai has no canonized concubines, nor any favored maids in the house.

For such a popular figure, even if he gets a little bit of nobility, he will have unlimited wealth.

Countless families have been interested in this.

In the past two years, all the noble ladies in Lingnan who are of the right age have remained unmarried, in order to look for a good opportunity in the future when Jiang Yubai is canonized as the crown prince.

The Guo family also had the same plan.

But Mr. Guo didn't expect that Guo Jia would say such words after going out.

We can guess and speculate what the Xu family is planning.

It doesn't matter that everyone knows what is tacitly understood.

But once the calculations in one's mind are expressed out loud, the meaning becomes completely different.

Mr. Guo looked at Guo Jia in disbelief: "Did you really say that?!"

“Who taught you that?!”

"teach?"

Nan Weiwei couldn't help but interject, "That doesn't sound like anyone taught you that."

"Guo Jia wasn't the only one saying this. She even told me that everyone said it. I thought she had just picked up on her parents because she heard them say it so often at home."

"slight."

Sang Zhixia suppressed her laughter and shook her head slightly at Nan, saying earnestly, "The elders are talking, we have no right to interrupt."

Nan Weiwei was obedient for a second, nodding and shutting up obediently.

Sang Zhixia walked over and took the knife from Aunt Xu's hand, which was almost loose. She said softly, "Aunt, everyone is here now. Let's stop talking while standing here."

Aunt Xu looked calm, but her hands seemed to be weak as she grabbed Sang Zhixia's wrist.

Sang Zhixia readily helped her to her seat. Mrs. Guo, who had just escaped the knife, suddenly started shouting, "What nonsense!"

"You are making a false accusation!"

"You said I framed you?"

Aunt Xu said angrily, "Why don't you open your eyes and see what kind of person you are? Do you think you are worthy enough for me to use my own daughter's reputation to frame you?!"

"mother."

Xu Yanran stood up and held Aunt Xu's hand, whispering, "Mom, don't worry."

"Sit down and talk slowly."

Uncle Xu also tried to persuade her with a dark face, but Mrs. Guo seemed to be unwilling to give in. "What's wrong with it if it's not a false accusation?"

"Who doesn't know your family's Sima Zhao's intentions? If Jia'er hadn't revealed your shameful intentions, would you have caused such a scene?"

Mrs. Guo ignored Mr. Guo's sudden request to shut up, waved away the servant's hand, stood up awkwardly, pointed at Xu Yanran and said, "Why did you travel all the way to Chuzhou instead of staying at home with a good girl?"

"It's because the young prince is in Chuzhou, and you're afraid that if you're a step late you'll be left behind!"

"Do you really think no one knows what you're thinking? You're full of shameful and treacherous thoughts, and you get so angry when someone points them out? You..."

clang!

A sharp sound that broke through the air cut off Mrs. Guo's shrill cry, and even Mr. Guo was horrified when he saw the scimitar that was thrown out and stuck in the back of the chair.

The knife was originally caught by Sang Zhixia, but now it was stabbed into Mrs. Guo's side.

The knife was thrown out, brushing past Mrs. Guo.

If it's a little crooked, then...

In the suffocating silence, Sang Zhixia, who seemed to have made a mistake, let out a soft "ah" in surprise, with a look of regret on his face.

Sang Zhixia smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, this knife is too heavy. It's not as easy for me to use as before."

"I slipped my hand and interrupted Madam's conversation. Madam, you won't hold it against me, right?"
