Chapter 4 The whole family is together
Chen Zhiyan came to the Duke's Mansion in anger and ordered people to bang the door.
I never expected to get the same reply.
"Second Master, please go back! My aunt is feeling unwell and has gone to bed."
"Big brother is injured like that and he hasn't woken up yet. How can she sleep as a mother? Has her conscience been eaten by a dog? Where in the world can there be a mother like her? Go and tell her that if she refuses to show up, don't blame us, her children, for not recognizing her in the future." Shen Zhiyan was furious.
What he said was too harsh.
The guards did not dare to make a decision on their own, so they had to bite the bullet and report to Xie Changning.
Xie Changning sneered, "Tell him to get out of here. If he continues to disturb the people, don't be polite to him. Either beat him up or report him to the police."
Did they recognize her as their mother?
It just so happened that she didn't want to have these ungrateful children anymore.
After receiving the guard's reply, Shen Zhiyan clenched his fists, his eyes almost spitting fire, "She is really very kind, she even doesn't care about her own children. If she has the ability, she should never return to the Marquis' Mansion."
After saying these harsh words, he turned away.
Xie Changning didn't care at all. She changed into a neat pair of pants, picked up the whip that she had put aside for a long time, and started practicing kung fu in the yard.
She is the daughter of a general.
From the age of three, her father taught her how to use a whip.
She has been practicing for more than ten years.
Unfortunately, after getting married, Qin and her short-lived husband did not like her to wield swords and guns. At first, she practiced secretly. After giving birth to a child, she devoted herself to the child and neglected more than 20 years.
Fortunately, although she was a little rusty, as long as she practiced hard, protecting herself would not be a problem at all.
This time, she wants to take her destiny firmly into her own hands.
She had been thinking about one question: even if she saved her elder brother this time, as long as the Fourth Prince came to power, the Duke's Mansion would still be doomed to destruction.
She wanted to take the Fourth Prince's life as a sacrifice for her relatives who had died tragically in the previous life.
Naturally, she would not let those rebellious sons go.
…
The imperial physician had already examined Shen Zhixu. Although his bones were not injured, it was enough to make him suffer. He would have to lie on the couch for at least half a month, enduring the pain of his skin and flesh being torn apart.
"Where is Xie Changning?" Qin asked with gritted teeth when she saw Shen Zhiyan coming back alone.
Others also looked at Shen Zhiyan.
Shen Zhiyan's eyes were filled with resentment. "She refused to see her own son, me. It seems that this time she is determined to force my eldest brother to obey her arrangements and take up a position in the Hanlin Academy, just like she forced me to take the imperial examination in the past."
Qin slammed the table and said, "Do you really think we can't live without her? Since she refuses to show up, let her live in the Duke's Mansion forever."
Shen Zhixu opened his eyes and just happened to hear their conversation. A hint of cruelty spread across his face. "She has been controlling me for over twenty years. Isn't that enough? This time I must break free from her control."
There was nothing wrong with her going to the Hanlin Academy, but he just didn't want her to do so.
"Grandmother will help you." Qin asked Shen Zhixu about his well-being. She lowered her eyes to hide the sneer in her eyes, "None of you are allowed to go to the Duke's Mansion these days. I want to see how she can have the nerve to come back."
She had only one son, who died early and died in such a miserable way.
If Xie Changning and her son were allowed to love each other, would there still be room for her in the Marquis' Mansion?
Fortunately, the hearts of the children were all on her side.
"Don't worry, grandma. We don't want a mother like that." Several people nodded.
Qin originally wanted to leave Xie Changning alone for a few days, but she didn't expect that on the morning of the next day, many people came to her house with account books to collect debts. A family like theirs would not carry money when going out.
Whether you go to a restaurant, a jewelry store, or any other store, all you have to do is sign your name.
On the appointed date, the steward came to ask for the money.
Looking at the bills in front of her, which added up to more than five thousand taels of silver, Qin's old face darkened. How could she have forgotten this? Xie Changning was the head of the family all these years, and it should be Xie Changning who paid the money.
She ordered all the stewards who came to collect debts to be sent to the Duke's Mansion.
Xie Changning had given orders early in the morning that the expenses of the Marquis' Mansion had no right to be reimbursed from the Duke's Mansion.
When she married into the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion, it was just an empty shell. In her previous life, she used her dowry to support these people for their entire lives, providing them with fine clothes and delicious food. Who had ever thought of her in the slightest?
She took this opportunity to settle things with them.
Those managers were sent away without even seeing Xie Changning.
Helplessly, they could only go to the Marquis' Mansion with sad faces to ask for money again.
Qin was so angry that she fell back and almost fell to the ground. Xie Changning, that bitch, wanted her to pay the money. She could only dream about it!
She once again ordered all the stewards to be sent to the Duke's Mansion, and secretly told them to make a scene in front of the Duke's Mansion if they failed.
Xie Changning values face the most, and I don’t believe she is not afraid.
These stewards realized that the Marquis' Mansion had no money, and if they wanted to get the money back, they could only find the Marquis's wife and get some advice from her.
This time, they started making a scene right in front of the Duke's Mansion, yelling for Xie Changning to return the money.
This attracted passers-by to stop and watch.
Xie Changning had long anticipated that Qin would do this to her, and she had thought of a countermeasure long ago.
Those officials had just started to make a fuss when people from the Ministry of Justice came and took them all away.
It is only natural to pay back debts. What could they have done wrong?
Less than half an hour later, guards from the Ministry of Justice came to invite Xie Changning.
The old lady and Mrs. Lin didn't know what Xie Changning wanted to do. When they asked her, she refused to say anything and only said that she had her own plans.
Qin had been sending people to keep an eye on the movements at the Duke's Mansion. After hearing the news, she smiled with great pride.
Xie Changning is still a little too young to fight with her.
But she soon stopped laughing.
Guards from the Ministry of Justice also came to invite her, and even Shen Zhiyan and the others were invited to the Ministry of Justice. Except for Shen Zhixu who was unable to get out of bed, the whole family was there.
