Although he did not die during exile, he was pushed out by the heroine as a scapegoat when the incident at Wu'an Marquis' Mansion was exposed.
Therefore, when Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue saw these illegitimate children, they did not feel the slightest bit of good will towards them, so they simply pretended not to see them, thinking out of sight, out of mind.
However, they didn't want to cause any more trouble, but someone took the initiative to provoke them.
Seeing that the people from the first wife's house had ignored them, Second Aunt Wang flew into a rage. She rushed to her mother-in-law, Zhao, pointed at her nose and cursed, "It's all your fault, first wife! If it weren't for you, how could we have ended up with our property confiscated and exiled!"
Zhao held Xiao Jing steadily, with an expressionless face throughout, as if she hadn't heard anything, and continued to walk forward steadily.
But Wang refused to give in. She took a few steps forward and stood in front of everyone, blocking their way. She kept shouting, "You are evildoers. You have brought the Xiao family to this state. You are sinners!"
Zhao slowly raised her head, staring coldly at Wang, and sternly said, "When has it ever been your turn to interfere in the affairs of the Xiao family? Just because I give you some face, you really think you are the master? In reality, you are nothing more than servants. Get out of here now! It's disgusting to look at you!"
Wang never expected that even though the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion had fallen into such a state, Zhao was still so arrogant.
The fire of jealousy in her heart instantly consumed her, but she still said stubbornly, "Your whole family is doomed! One day, the world will recognize that we are the most suitable heirs to the Xiao family!"
Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue were listening on the side, and they understood in their hearts that the second branch had obviously been dissatisfied with the first branch inheriting the position of Marquis Wu'an.
Zhao was not one to accept fate, and she immediately retorted, "Just because your second brother's mother came from a brothel? And you still talk about legitimacy? Don't be foolish! Whether or not your second brother is of the Xiao family's bloodline has never been confirmed. Just because you gave him the surname Xiao and included him in the family tree, does that mean he really thinks he's a member of the Xiao family?"
Zhao paused slightly, her gaze passing over the crowd and landing directly on her second uncle Xiao Bin. "As for whether or not the second brother has Xiao family blood in him, he knows best."
Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue were both shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect to hear such shocking gossip.
Zhao's fighting ability was indeed strong, and Wang's face turned pale in an instant.
She had been married to the Xiao family for many years and only knew that the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion was quite harsh on the illegitimate branch, but she had never heard of these secret matters.
When Zhao saw Wang's expression, she knew that Xiao Bin had not told her the truth about many things.
"Why don't you go back and ask your second brother how he got into the family tree? And by the way, ask him why your branch can't live in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion."
After Zhao finished speaking, she supported Xiao Jing and strode away with her head held high.
Seeing this, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue didn't dare to stay there and watch the fun, so they hurriedly followed their mother-in-law and got on the carriage.
The gossip fire in the two people's hearts was burning, and they couldn't wait to know what had happened that year.
Xiao Jingrui looked at Yun Ruoxi's curious face, moved closer to her, and whispered in her ear...
