Chapter 450 Don't be soft-hearted when you need to be cruel
Mrs. Xiao closed her eyes, her heart sank, and she was filled with disappointment.
Sure enough, when Wu Que brought people to interrogate them, Mr. Xiao and Fang had their fingers pinched and were tortured, and they confessed everything.
At first, the two wanted to blame each other.
Mr. Xiao's nose and tears flowed, and he insisted that it was Fang who instigated him and blamed the vicious woman.
Fang was also a sharp-tongued person, and she exposed that Mr. Xiao had been looking forward to his mother's death, just waiting to squander the family.
Jiang Fengze found Xiao Lanyi and just brought him out, and saw these two filthy people spraying each other.
He was so angry that he went up and slapped each of them in the heart, "You dirty and rotten things, you still have the nerve to say bad things about others, how can there be such people in the world!"
In the room, old lady Xiao was lying on the couch, and she could hear the noise outside clearly.
Little Nuobao surrounded her, sometimes handing her a wet towel to put on her forehead, sometimes bringing her a bowl of hot porridge. He was not as noisy as usual, and was considerate of her emotions.
Seeing that little Nuobao cared about her so much, old lady Xiao's disappointed heart gradually began to warm up.
She had given up hope that her biological son was a good-for-nothing.
Fortunately, she still had a sensible child like Nuobao, so her life as an old woman was not worthless.
Thinking of this, she felt that blood ties were nothing more than this.
Old Madam Xiao reached out her hand, grabbed Madam Xiao, patted her, and touched Xiao Lanyi, and she felt relieved.
"Nuobao," Old Madam Xiao said, "Didn't you just say that my unpromising son should be exiled according to his crime?"
Little Nuobao held a plate of snacks and was about to feed Grandma Xiao, "Yes, but this is also to scare him. Whether to convict him or not depends on Grandma Xiao's mind." After all,
she came here this time just to vent the anger of Grandma Xiao and the others.
Old Madam Xiao exhaled a foul breath, her tone unusually calm, "Of course this crime must be convicted, not only that, but also one more, the serious crime of murdering one's own mother!"
After forcing herself to sit up, Old Madam Xiao said decisively, "After what happened, just pretend that I never raised this rebellious son, and punish him as he should be. Tomorrow I will invite all the clan elders to come, and I will remove his name from the family tree, and completely sever the mother-son relationship!"
Everyone was shocked and happy to hear this.
Feng couldn't help but sigh, worthy of being Old Madam Xiao, if it were an ordinary woman, she would definitely be spoiled by her motherly love and forgive that worthless person.
Although parents love their children and should be tolerant and protective of them, if they condone even murder, it is no longer love, but stupidity that harms others and oneself.
Xiao Nuobao saw the determination of Grandma Xiao and nodded vigorously, "Yes, Grandma Xiao, don't worry, I will let the evildoers get the punishment they deserve."
After saying that, she ran out and let Wu Que and the others take the person away.
Double punishment?
This is terrible.
Grandpa Xiao got up like crazy, his face distorted with fear, "Mother, my son knows his mistake and will never dare to do it again. Please keep your son by your bedside to fulfill his filial piety!"
But even though he shouted until his throat was bleeding, his voice was as miserable as a ghost.
Old Madam Xiao still did not waver. Instead, she only tried to comfort Madam Xiao, feeling sorry for her injuries.
"You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the living crime." Wu Que stood outside the door and read out the fate of the two bastards. "You two violated the imperial order and committed murder for money. You will be exiled to the southern border and serve as slaves for the garrison for the rest of your life. You will not stop until you die."
After the two were taken away, Feng arranged for Li Qiqiao and Nanny Zheng to help take care of the Xiao Mansion. It must be stable at this time.
Old Madam Xiao had been fed medicine for several days, and her body inevitably needed to rest.
Fortunately, she was originally healthy, and she should be fine after a month of rest.
Just when everyone was relieved, Madam Xiao suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times in front of Old Madam Xiao's bed.
"Wanjun, what are you going to do?" Old Madam Xiao was slightly startled and hurriedly reached out to help her.
But Mrs. Xiao shook her head and bit her lip and said, "Mother, please forgive your daughter-in-law for being unfilial. I can no longer serve you in the future."
Old Madam Xiao was even more shocked, "What are you talking about? I won't let you leave my side!"
"Mother, the fact that I was bullied in the past will soon be known to the whole city. Only if I become a nun and never enter the Xiao Mansion again, you and Lanyi will not be implicated by me and will not be pointed at by the world." Mrs. Xiao cried like rain.
For her son and the Xiao Mansion, she was willing to give up her current life.
It was all to atone for the past.
Old Madam Xiao was anxious and was about to get up regardless of anything, but Xiao Lanyi got there first and directly picked Madam Xiao up.
"Mother." Xiao Lanyi held her hand tightly with distress in his eyes.
"I just found out that you had suffered so much, but don't worry, your son doesn't think it's a shame."
Xiao Lanyi was open-minded and knew that women had a hard time in the world, so he never used the world's biased eyes to examine women's behavior.
His tone was very firm, "You were not the one who made the mistake back then, and you are not the one who should atone for your sins. We should live an upright life, and there is no need to suffer for some rumors."
Not only that, Xiao Lanyi lowered his eyes, he also wanted to seek justice for his mother.
"Mother, I will find all the people who came to the manor and bullied you, and make these beasts pay the price!"
"You don't have to be afraid of anything with your son by your side in the future. We can live uprightly." A bit of maturity appeared on Xiao Lanyi's handsome face.
In the house, Mrs. Xiao was lying on her son's shoulder, crying.
Old Mrs. Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and lay back on the couch, her heart filled with comfort.
Very good, her little Xiao bastard has not only grown up, but also grown up very well.
This is the good roots of her Xiao family!
Jiang Fengze stood behind Xiao Lanyi and sniffed with emotion.
But he was not good at speaking, so he could only put his big hands on Xiao Lanyi's shoulders silently.
There were sighs in the room, and Xiao Nuobao's eyes also became sore.
She clenched her fists and said, "Mrs. Xiao has had a very hard life, walking on thin ice for twenty years. It's all thanks to Brother Xiao, who is a good son with a kind heart and good views."
As for those beasts back then, their crimes were truly unforgivable!
Xiao Nuobao decided to help and find them one by one, so as to remove the thorn in Mrs. Xiao's heart.
