Chapter 45 Don’t Dirty the Xiao Family’s Land
"Ah ah..." Gan Li was also confused. She wanted to speak excitedly, but she couldn't open her mouth.
"Ahem." Xiao Jiuyue cleared his throat and his eyes fell on Mrs. Geng. Mrs. Geng was smart and stepped forward to pinch Gan Li's chin.
Gan Li's voice was heard immediately: "My hands are made of flesh and blood. How could I possibly sacrifice my own son for my nephew?"
Gan Li suddenly realized that she could say what she wanted to say. She struggled excitedly, looked at Xiao Jiuyue and asked, "Tell me clearly, what's going on!"
"It's not you?" Xiao Song stared at Gan Li's confused expression, then looked at Xiao Jiuyue anxiously.
"You didn't even know?" Xiao Jiuyue said in disbelief, "The people who bullied Miss He that day were actually members of the Gan family. In the end, it was Xiao Wenxing who lost his fertility and became a useless child!"
"Impossible." Gan Li's pupils dilated in disbelief, but she exerted all her strength, shook off the hands of Mrs. Geng and Mother Yu, and rushed forward.
Lianxin stood up to block Gan Li, and Geng Pozi and Yu Mama directly pressed her to her knees on the ground.
"Xiao, you are lying!"
Gan Li was unable to move and could only shout at Xiao Jiuyue.
Xiao Jiuyue leaned back slightly in his chair, staring at her intently: "Are you afraid to believe it, or are you unwilling to believe it?"
The ancestral hall was brightly lit.
There were several scars on Xiao Song's face, and his face was full of pain and anger. His good son was used as a scapegoat by the Gan family!
Xiao Wenxing is his proudest and most promising son!
"Cousin, what should I do now?" Xiao Song was at a loss and could only look at Xiao Jiuyue for help.
Gan Zongrong rushed over, his body covered in frost. When he arrived at the Xiao family, he didn't even see Gan Li. He saw Xiao Song rushing forward and yelling at him. When Gan Zongrong understood what was happening, he said, "You're crazy!"
Gan Zongrong wanted to slap Xiao Song in the face, but unfortunately, Jin Wen was standing by and protected Xiao Song.
"Master Gan, why don't you take a look at this first!" Xiao Jiuyue brought over Gan Li's confession letter, which had been stamped with her hand. She took a sip from a cup of strong tea and said, "A daughter of the Gan family is having an affair with a servant. If this scandal gets out, I'm afraid it will affect the marriages of the girls in the Gan family in the future, right?"
"The Xiao family doesn't want such a scandal to spread, right?" Gan Zongrong took a look and slammed his hand on the table. He looked at Xiao Song and said, "Xiao Song is a member of the Xiao family."
"This is really bad for Miss Xiao, who is still an unmarried girl. Gan Li..." Gan Zongrong's eyes darkened and he said, "I will take her back to the Gan family. She will die of the disease tomorrow morning. I guarantee that this will save the reputation of both our families."
In the dark, Gan Li had her mouth stuffed. When she heard Gan Zongrong's words, she saw only darkness in front of her eyes. She had helped the Gan family so much, but in the end, Gan Zongrong, the good brother, really had no pity for her at all!
The conversation continued, and when Gan Tao was mentioned as the one who actually bullied the girl from the He family, Gan Zongrong just brushed it off lightly, saying that he would make amends.
Gan Li couldn't help but rush out and asked loudly, "Brother, Wenxing is my son, your nephew. Why did you hide this from me? How could you do this?"
"Gan Li!" Gan Zongrong pushed Gan Li away and said, "Wen Xing is already in trouble. What good will it do me to tell you the truth other than to make you sad? Didn't I find the best doctor for Wen Xing?"
"What's the point of ruining Tao'er now?" Gan Zongrong stared at Gan Li and said seductively, "You are Tao'er's aunt. We will take good care of Wenxing in the future and make it up to Wenxing."
Gan Li was thrown to the ground by him and murmured to herself, "Miss, you are right!"
She wholeheartedly helped the Gan family, yet she could still abandon them at any time. Gan Li's eyes gradually turned cold, and she said, "Brother, you harmed Wen Xing and you want me dead. Then, no one can expect to live a good life."
Among her four sons, Gan Li loved Xiao Wenxing the most because he was sweet-spoken, looked most like her, and was the best at making her happy.
"Miss." Gan Li said directly, "The Gan family followed others to smuggle salt."
"Gan Li!" Gan Zongrong rushed forward and wanted to take action, but Jin Wen directly pressed him down on the chair.
"I also know that the Gan family secretly sold salt to others, trying to please everyone. If the imperial court or his superiors find out, the Gan family will not have a good ending." Gan Li looked at him with gritted teeth.
Gan Zongrong's forehead veins throbbed, and he kicked Gan Li away: "Gan Li, Xiao Wenxing, are still at the Gan family!"
"Master Gan, it's up to you to choose between protecting your son or yourself." Xiao Jiuyue spoke at the right time, and two confessions were placed in front of Gan Zongrong.
Gan Zongrong looked at Xiao Jiuyue coldly. Her young face was so beautiful that it was almost too beautiful. He snorted coldly and said, "Why should I choose?"
Xiao Jiuyue raised his hand, and the Xiao family guards surrounded the house, with a knife on Gan Zongrong's neck. The coachman and followers around him were all captured at this time.
"You dare!" Gan Zongrong's face changed. The Xiao family had a room full of women and children, and Xiao Song was a coward. He had never thought that coming to the Xiao family would be dangerous!
"I want to die in the Xiao family. The Gan family won't let me go!" Gan Zongrong threatened in a deep voice, "The Xiao family is already guilty. Aren't you afraid that you won't even be able to stay in Hongdu?"
"Bah." Xiao Song heard this and immediately said, "Then don't bother you. In our Xiao family, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Since you refuse to sign, I will go to Hongdu to talk to the prefect. Prefect of Hongdu Village, do you know? That's my cousin's favorite student!"
Xiao Song only heard what Xiao Jiuyue said that day, and now he felt that Magistrate Zhuang was his backer, so he spoke in an especially arrogant tone.
Gan Zongrong's face changed again and again, and the candlelight flickered. It was not until Gan Zongrong left that Xiao Song looked at the confession in his hand and said, "Cousin, we not only got five thousand taels of silver, but also got the leverage over the Gan family!" How could his brother-in-law, who was like a man-eating tiger, be defeated like this?
Xiao Jiuyue put away the confession and the evidence provided by Gan Li, and asked Xiao Song about his plans: "What are their plans, cousin?"
"That adulterer must die! Beat him to death with clubs!" Xiao Song insisted, adding, "As for that whore, send her to the farm and let her die suddenly."
In order to protect herself, Gan Li had offered all the evidence against the Gan family. Hearing Xiao Song's words, she immediately spoke up, staring intently at Xiao Jiuyue and said, "No, Miss, you must keep your word. You said you would let me go."
"Let him go." Xiao Jiuyue said. Gan Li's face was full of joy and she ran away.
"Cousin." Xiao Song was anxious.
Xiao Jiuyue looked at him and said, "I promised to release him. What my cousin wants to do has nothing to do with me." She picked up the tea and started drinking it. She had been tossing and turning for most of the night and was feeling sleepy.
"My dear..." Xiao Song wanted to speak, but Lian Xin asked him to leave and said, "Whatever Master Xiao wants to do is Master Xiao's business."
When Xiao Song heard Lian Xin's words, his eyes lit up and he understood instantly.
"My young lady told us not to dirty the Xiao family's land." Lian Xin reminded.
Xiao Song nodded and immediately took his men to chase after her. Before Gan Li could run out of the Xiao family's old house, she was caught by Xiao Song.
