Chapter 110 Expulsion
"fierce?"
"May I ask, by bringing the child here, Earl Anping, are you planning to stage a love-struck drama with your new wife in front of me, a beautiful step-son-recognizing-step-mother scene?"
"No, that's not what I meant. Xun Moli will always be your child. This is an ending that no one can change."
"How can a child be brought up to be so delicate and delicate, crying and screaming at the slightest provocation, and looking at his own mother with eyes as ferocious as a wolf cub?"
"If you don't know, you might think I, Jiang Qingning, killed his mother."
Jiang Qingning spoke in an aggressive tone, not giving Xun Chen any chance to defend himself.
"No……"
Xun Chen was left speechless by Jiang Qingning's straightforwardness.
Jiang Yuerou covered her lips, her eyes moving, her voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone:
"Although Sister Qingxi's words were a bit blunt, they did reveal a bit of the warmth and coldness of the world.
However, as the ancients said, "When you see a gentleman, how can you not be happy?" The word "happy" should originally mean joy from the heart, but the behavior of this "gentleman" before me..."
She deliberately dragged out her tone, and her eyes swept meaningfully between Xun Chen and Jiang Ruyi.
"It reminds me of the poem in the Book of Songs: The magpie has a nest, and the dove lives in it.
The bird worked hard to build a warm nest, but in the blink of an eye, the dove forcibly occupied it and sang proudly in it.
"Now that the old master has left the nest, even if I still miss him, I can only look at him in vain and weep bitterly as I linger outside the old nest."
She paused slightly, the smile on her lips tinged with cold sarcasm. "But these belated tears, whether they are the true expression of deep regret or the crocodile tears of hypocrisy, are very intriguing. Lord Anping, do you agree or not?"
Jiang Yuerou quoted from classics and pointed out Xun Chen's indifference without mercy.
Xun Chen felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. His heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and the pain was so severe that he almost suffocated.
He did regret it.
After countless sleepless nights, he saw Jiang Qingning and Qin Xiu standing side by side in the hunting ground, learned that Qin Xiu's harem was doing its utmost to protect Jiang Qingning, and even removed Jiang Qingning from the incident with Wen Ziyi.
The feelings that he once thought had never existed, mixed with strong resentment, jealousy and huge loss, wrapped around him like a vine, gnawing at his heart day and night.
Jiang Ruyi's body swayed and was held tightly by Aunt Xu beside her.
Aunt Xu's voice was sharp, as if to remind her, "Madam, you must stand firm. The old lady is waiting for your precious baby!"
Xun Chen was startled, his mother's warning still ringing in his ears, every word like a hammer.
"The Xun family must never have anything to do with Jiang Qingning again, especially now that she's hooking up with Qin Xiu. Do you want to destroy the entire Anping Marquis's Mansion?"
But he just couldn't help it. After rejecting the disgusted Jiang Ruyi without hesitation, the face of Jiang Qingning on the day she left the Anping Marquis' Mansion kept echoing in his mind.
Xun Chen came quietly under the pretext that his son missed his mother, which seemed reasonable but was actually full of loopholes.
He originally just wanted to hide in the dark and quietly take one more look at the woman who was pushed away by him, but now lives an even more dazzling life.
But Jiang Qingning actually noticed him at first sight. Does this mean that Jiang Qingning still treats him differently?
"I……"
Xun Chen's throat was very dry. He swallowed hard and tried to find his voice.
He didn't dare look at Jiang Qingning's all-seeing eyes anymore, and could only keep his gaze fixed on Xun Moli's head.
"It's Mo Li. This child has been waking up crying at night lately, crying out for his mother. He has lost his appetite and has lost a lot of weight."
He raised his hand, as if wanting to touch Xun Moli's head to prove it, but Xun Moli subconsciously turned his head away in anger.
Xun Chen's hands froze in mid-air, and he felt even more embarrassed.
"As a father, I couldn't bear to see him, so I brought him here. I originally thought that maybe it would be nice if I could just let him see me from a distance."
His explanation only made the truth more obvious, and even he himself found it hypocritical and ridiculous.
He didn't dare to admit that he was the one who was truly heartbroken and had lost his appetite.
He himself was like a coward, using his son's name to satisfy his pathetic and belated longing.
Jiang Ruyi listened to the explanation full of loopholes and became completely jealous. Her carefully maintained nails dug deep into her palms, almost making them bleed.
Her resentful eyes were like a poisoned knife, glaring at Jiang Qingning fiercely, as if she wanted to eat him alive.
And her stepson Xun Moli, whom she could never truly accept, was the result of this evil creature and the lingering bitch Jiang Qingning!
Seeing that she was anxious and angry, Old Mrs. Jiang slammed her cane to the ground again, trying to use the authority of an elder to forcibly suppress the out-of-control situation.
"That's enough, shut up!"
She glanced at Jiang Qingxi and Jiang Yuerou and angrily scolded, "Two unruly girls, disrespecting their elders and speaking wildly. How dare they act so presumptuously while I'm still here!"
"Ruyi is now the wife of the Anping Marquis's mansion, married with three matchmakers and six betrothals. She is also pregnant and has made great contributions to the Anping Marquis's mansion.
Ruyi is your elder sister, how dare you be so rude and sarcastic to her? Let me ask you, do you still have the family rules in your heart, and do you understand the moral principles?"
She turned towards Jiang Qingning abruptly, her cane almost poking the tip of Jiang Qingning's nose. Her tone was extremely harsh, carrying an unquestionable sense of judgment:
"Jiang Qingning, open your eyes and take a good look. This is the good sister you have indulged. She is disrespectful to her elders, discordant with her sisters, speaks viciously, and behaves in a rude manner."
"The Jiang family has suffered a great disaster, and is torn apart. The foundation of our ancestors is almost destroyed. I am heartbroken. After thinking about it, I think the root cause is you.
It is you who are narrow-minded and vindictive, forcing your second and third uncles into desperation! It is you who do not cultivate the virtues of a woman, attracting bees and butterflies, bringing shame to our family.
It was you who allowed these wicked servants to bully the elders and cause unrest in our family. Now you are even worse, colluding with outsiders to bully your own flesh and blood sisters!"
"Do you still have any respect for the Jiang family's ancestors, or any filial piety?"
The more Mrs. Jiang spoke, the more excited she became. Her chest heaved violently and her saliva almost spurted out.
She took a deep breath, as if using up all her strength, and said in a resounding voice:
"It is unfortunate for our family to have such an unfilial descendant. Today, I will risk my dignity to clean up the mess for our ancestors, enforce the family rules, and uphold the family tradition!"
Her finger trembled as she pointed at the three Jiang Qingning sisters:
"From this moment on, the three of you are expelled from the Jiang family tree. You are no longer descendants of the Jiang family. You will never set foot in the Jiang family mansion again.
The Jiang family's honor, disgrace, rise and fall have nothing to do with you anymore. Get out of the Jiang family and never come back!"
Old Mrs. Jiang spoke in a firm and unquestionable tone.
