Chapter 599: Where did you go wrong?
Their eyes met.
The young man Xie Yuchuan's eyes were black and shiny, and his serious face was filled with deep confusion.
Why help him?
Tu Huan thought, hey, this is a really good question.
Before she could answer him, a figure appeared behind Xie Yuchuan.
"Xie Shentang, kneel down!"
"Mother! How did I alarm you?" Upon hearing the familiar voice, Xie Shentang, who had been so majestic when scolding his son just now, suddenly softened his tone and hurriedly turned around to support his son.
Tu Huan raised her eyes and saw a familiar face. Wasn't this Xie Yuchuan's grandmother, Old Madam Xie?
Xie Yuchuan kept looking up at the strange woman who inexplicably appeared in the Xie family ancestral hall.
She is such a strange person.
However, no matter how curious I was, I was almost beaten in front of the ancestral tablet and then met my grandmother who came to rescue me.
He then knelt on the ground, turned around on the spot, and kowtowed to Madam Xie without saying a word.
"Grandma! Your grandson Yuchuan kowtows to you."
Gulp——
In the already quiet ancestral hall, Xie Yuchuan kowtowed loudly and clearly.
When Mrs. Xie heard this, she felt heartbroken.
The ancestral hall is an important place, and servants are waiting outside the door.
Old Madam Xie pointed at the top of her grandson Xie Yuchuan's head and glared at her eldest son with a serious expression: "What are you doing?"
"Mom, Chuan Ge'er is doing evil and violent things. I can't let him do that."
"You indulged him?" Old Madam Xie raised her voice and shouted in a deep voice, "You went out to fight for years. Did you ever come back during that time? How many times have you taught Xiaoliu since he grew up?"
"mother--"
Old Madam Xie stopped him with her palm, not bothering to listen to his explanations. She turned and walked to her little grandson Xie Yuchuan, holding out her hand: "Brother Chuan, get up."
Tu Huan turned to look at Xie Yuchuan who was kneeling on the ground, but saw that he did not stand up immediately. Instead, he turned his head to look at his father Xie Shentang first.
Old Madam Xie leaned on the golden staff bestowed by the emperor, bent down slightly, and said gently, "Don't worry about your father. Grandmother is here, and he's the one who deserves the beating and punishment! How can a child like you kneel here and apologize?"
"Brother Chuan, get up quickly! The ground is cold and you haven't had time to apply medicine to your wounds yet." Aunt Xie Minghui felt reassured and didn't care whether her brother's face was red or black. She quickly stepped forward and pulled her nephew Xie Yuchuan up from the cold floor tiles.
It would have been fine if Xie Minghui hadn't said this, but when she mentioned in her words that Xie Yuchuan's hidden injury hadn't been cured yet, Mrs. Xie's expression changed immediately.
Xie Shentang beside him thought to himself: Not good!
Old Madam Xie had a sullen expression on her face. She held up Xie Yuchuan's chin and looked around. Her gaze fixed on the bruises on the child's neck, and her eyes darkened a few shades.
He turned around, pointed at the mat on the ground, and shouted, "Kneel down!"
"Mom, you can't protect him like this, he will become lawless in the future."
Old Madam Xie pointed at the ancestral tablets on the high platform and said in a deep voice, "Why, you asked your son to kneel before the ancestors, and Chuan'er obeyed; but when I asked my son to kneel before the ancestors, it didn't work? When it comes to respecting the gods and ancestors, you're not as knowledgeable as a child!"
With just one sentence, Xie Shentang's face turned red. He glanced at his son beside his younger sister, his sword-like eyebrows twisted together. After a moment of silence, he turned around, faced the spirit tablet, lifted his robe, and knelt on the floor tiles between the two cushions.
The knees hit the ground with a dull sound.
Tu Huan happened to see Xie Yuchuan's small body, which trembled slightly with the sound of his father kneeling down.
Tu Huan couldn't help but laugh softly, causing Xie Yuchuan to turn around.
A white and slender hand turned his head back, and the confused and curious eyes were a rare look she had seen since she met Xie Yuchuan.
Tu Huan couldn't help but smile.
Little Xie Yuchuan couldn't quite figure out why there was a stranger in the ancestral hall, and why none of his grandmother, father, and aunt noticed?!
This scene really made Tu Huan feel itchy and she reached for her phone unconsciously.
Didn't touch it.
She was slightly stunned. Oh, yes, the cell phone is next to the pillow.
Unexpectedly, this time, when she wanted to take a picture of the scene in front of her with her mobile phone, she failed.
"System, can you help me take a screenshot?"
【A screenshot from a dream?】
"Yes, can it be possible?"
The system said with regret: [I'm sorry, host, this really doesn't work.]
Tu Huan: "Okay."
It's not that she didn't have some regrets, but Tu Huan was soon attracted by Mrs. Xie's words of admonishment.
Also attracting her attention were a pair of eyes that followed her involuntarily as she walked around the ancestral hall.
Xie Yuchuan was very surprised. He couldn't help but stare at the woman with slightly strange clothes. She looked about the same age as his younger sister.
He vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to speak again.
Old Madam Xie had just laid down to take a nap when she heard the news that her eldest son had just come home from drinking and had beaten his child. She was so angry that she grabbed her crutches and chased him to the ancestral hall.
As expected, as soon as she entered the yard, she saw Xie Shentang holding the stick high in the air, and she was so angry that she lost her temper and started cursing.
I chased in with a trepidation, but luckily Chuan Ge'er dodged quickly.
As soon as the tension eased, anger came back.
Madam Xie stood beside her son, leaning on her cane, and said angrily, "You've only been back in Beijing for a few days, and you hit Xiaoliu so hard. Are you still a father? Do you still act like a father?"
"Before the gods, our ancestors are above us. When you returned to the capital, your father still remembered to rub my legs at night. Your second and third brothers also knew to get close to the younger generation in the family. What about you?"
"You were out drinking all night, and now you come home and beat up your own kid?"
When Xie Shentang heard his mother say this, he helplessly explained, "Mother, I was summoned to the palace by the Emperor. I wasn't staying out drinking!"
"Ha!" Old Madam Xie huffed and sneered, "You're such a good fellow, Xie Shentang. You've been a general for so long, and you've become so high-ranking that you've learned to use the Emperor as a shield, no matter what."
Xie Shentang hurriedly turned his head to look outside the door. All the servants in the mansion were like dummies, pretending to be deaf and dumb and standing with their heads down.
He turned around, rubbed his face, and whispered, "Mom, walls have ears, be careful what you say and do."
Madam Xie raised her cane and tapped the ground twice. "Just you do it, no need for me to tell you?"
oops--
Xie Shentang was overwhelmed. He glanced at his son Xie Yuchuan and found that his father was kneeling here and being scolded, but his son, Xie Yuchuan, didn't care at all and was looking around.
Xie Shentang's face darkened again.
The next second, his sight was blocked by Madam Xie's figure. Xie Shentang sighed, "Mother, I was wrong."
Madam Xie snorted softly and asked a soul-searching question:
"What did you do wrong?"
