The two old ladies didn't realize the seriousness of the matter. When they saw the men of the Xia family coming over, they decided to lie on the ground and deny it.
But they cannot afford to lie in public.
"Grandparents, uncles and aunts, please bear witness for my father and his men. We haven't even started fighting yet, and they've already fallen. It's clear that they're trying to blackmail us."
"Cicada, don't say you didn't fight them. Even if you did, we didn't see them."
"That's right. We haven't seen each other for years, but now that they see someone doing well, they come to miss him. It's too much for them on such a happy day."
"We were all drinking and eating, and we didn't see who hit us."
"Yes, come on, let's drink."
Among the men who were talking, several of their wives worked for Xia Chenshi as embroidery workers, or worked in the mountains of the Xia family. They all had some relationship with the Xia family.
But even if they have nothing to do with each other, I don't want to be hostile to the Xia family. I may have to ask them for help in the future.
Even if none of these are true, there are still people who understand what is happening. What these two ladies in the Xia family did is really disgusting.
"Did you hear me? Even if I beat you to death today, I don't think anyone would serve as a witness against you."
Xia Zhiliao said with a smile, let alone beating him to death, I wouldn't even beat him.
We must always be on guard against others. The Xia family has always acted in an upright manner, and now is a good time, so we cannot allow anyone to catch us.
"In that case, what are you waiting for?" Xia Jinheng was the most tactful person. His mind was working quickly at this moment, and he was about to take action.
"Don't go too far. You are relying on your numbers to bully the few. I don't believe that I will have no place to seek justice." said the eldest daughter of the Lu family.
"Let's go. We just want to find a place to reason." Xia Jinheng sneered and said, "I'm not afraid of you. You messed up my mother and Uncle Wei's wedding and also disrupted my nephew's full moon banquet. I don't believe the county magistrate will still side with you."
"Stop talking. They...they also know the county magistrate." Feng Huaiyi glared at his cousin. Women don't know anything. It would be fine if they couldn't help, but they also made things more complicated.
When the eldest daughter of the Lu family heard this, she stopped talking immediately, with a look of disbelief on her face, "Is this true?"
"Nonsense, what good is there in lying to you?"
Feng Huaiyi frowned, "Didn't we agree that you would listen to me? If you do this... I don't care."
Feng Huaiyi originally wanted to ease the relationship if possible, but he didn't want to be messed up by a few women.
Not only has the relationship not eased, but he's going to get beaten.
"Cousin...Aunt..."
However, seeing that the man from the Xia family was already nearby, none of the villagers sitting there wanted to stop him.
"Aren't you leaving?" Xia Jinjun asked.
Seeing that the fight was about to begin, the two old ladies quickly got up and left dejectedly with their children.
When they ran a little further away, someone was still trying to be brave, "My brother won't let you go. How can you face him after you die?"
Xia Zhiliao was really amused. If one can’t even be happy when alive, why would he care whether dying would be happy?
"It's not that easy to let this go."
"Stop talking and go!"
After the little episode, Xia Chen also completely accepted Su Mingche as her godson.
Boss Su was naturally very happy too.
Even Hongxiu, who was accompanying him, was somewhat dissatisfied and grumbled a few words, but Boss Su ignored her due to the occasion.
But this woman couldn't read his expression, and she didn't know that what Boss Su said before was not just talk.
On the way back, both the Su father and son were very happy.
"Son, you must respect your godmother in the future, okay? This time things happened suddenly, and I didn't prepare a generous gift. I will make it up to you later."
Su Mingche nodded, "Dad, don't worry, I will be a child that my mother loves from now on."
Hongxiu's face turned cold. "Mingche, why don't you have a mother to love you? Won't I be your mother soon?"
"You?" Su Mingche sneered twice, "Forget it, Dad, didn't you say that you would only take concubines and not marry a wife?"
Hongxiu immediately looked at Boss Su awkwardly.
Boss Su didn't even refute.
"You don't want to marry me? You just want me to be your concubine?" Hongxiu asked with red eyes.
Boss Su nodded, "Yes, didn't I tell you long ago? Mingche's mother is my only wife. Even if she is gone, I can't let anyone take her place. Didn't I tell you long ago?"
The woman twisted her waist and said it, but did she think that the gentle and thoughtful companionship she had received these days was different?
"I don't want to be a concubine."
"Then you can't follow my father." Su Mingche said.
Boss Su nodded, "Yes."
Hongxiu was so angry that she almost wanted to run away, but when she saw the desolate mountains and wilderness there, how could she go back to the town after getting off the carriage?
How could a delicate woman like her bear walking?
"It seems that this matter is not going to work. Then I will..."
Hongxiu took a deep breath, feeling angry and hateful. The old man was really cunning.
"We'll discuss this later."
"No room for negotiation." Su Mingche said, "Didn't you hear what my father said?"
Just because she had just said so many bad things about her godmother and sister Zhiliao, he would never allow this woman to enter his house.
"Look at how he talks to me."
Hongxiu used a soft voice to accuse Su Mingche of being rude.
Su Mingche was not willing to be outdone. Although he was not good at acting like a spoiled child, he was more effective when he was direct. "Dad, just tell me, do you want her or me?"
"I will give birth to a son for you in the future, a house full of sons..."
Boss Su rubbed his face and said, "Miss Hongxiu, let's forget about our business."
Of course he would choose his son.
Hongxiu had no idea that the Su family's wealth was all earned by Su Mingche.
Besides, for Boss Su, his son is the most important.
However, the father and son were not so cruel as to leave Hongxiu alone on the road. If something really happened to her, they would not be able to explain themselves.
But that was all. Boss Su had no intention of doing anything further with Hongxiu.
Xia Zhiliao didn't know that there was no need for her to say or do anything, as Hongxiu had nothing to do with the Su family anymore.
Some things have changed without us noticing.
The weather had turned cold. After the guests left, Xia Zhiliao sat in the yard for a while, then he couldn't help shivering and went back into the house.
The fate of this family is different from that in the novel.
She is actually very content.
But she also knew that life might not always be so peaceful.
Now that she knew her mother's background, she had to go to the capital.
We can’t let Princess Yi Yang, no, her grandmother is still waiting and hoping there.
"What are you thinking about?" Xia Chen asked softly, "Are you tired?"
