Chapter 39 Discussion
Xie Qi's gaze lingered on the two people kneeling in the hall, then a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.
This illegitimate daughter of the Jiang family is quite intelligent.
The gestures they've made now, seemingly a display of unwavering devotion between lovers, are actually putting Xie Xuchuan in a precarious position.
Even the most virtuous man cannot resist the life-risking protection of his beloved.
In front of the Xie family, she showed herself to be a woman deeply in love.
Even though Xie San Niang and Hua Nan Zhi disliked the two's premarital affair, they probably wouldn't be able to find fault with her now.
Although this woman lost her virginity before marriage, it was all because she was deeply in love with Xie Xuchuan and could not control her feelings.
It's just a pity...
He looked at Xie Jingyuan and gave him a faint smile.
It's just a pity that this woman's actions today were too proactive and strange.
An ordinary woman would be filled with shame and indignation in such a situation, but Jiang Wansu was even braver and more fearless than a man.
It's unclear whether they knew Xie Xuchuan was cowardly and were afraid he would shirk responsibility halfway through, which is why they were so insistent on this.
Xie Qi watched with great interest, feeling that the chaotic scene before him was even more exciting and lively than the grand finale of the Yan Yun opera troupe.
At this moment, Xie Xuchuan kept his head down, letting Jiang Wansu speak without saying a word.
It's true that he owes Yu Lin a debt of gratitude, and it's also true that he wants to adopt Yu Lin's unborn child and give him half of his family's fortune as compensation in the future. But his rant about breaking off the engagement with Yuan Zhu was just a fit of anger and thoughtless talk.
If Jiang Hong really demands that he marry Jiang Wansu...
Xie Xuchuan trembled slightly, wondering why things had escalated to this point where they were out of control.
"Brother Jiang..."
Xie Xuchuan remained silent for a long time, his cowering behind the woman, which greatly disappointed Xie Boyu.
"Xu Chuan was at fault in this matter. It is my Xie family who has wronged your daughter. Just say the word, and I will definitely give the Jiang family an explanation."
Jiang Hong said, "I knew then that Brother Boyu was a reasonable person."
With a flick of his wide sleeves, Jiang Hong sat down properly: "I know the marriage agreement between the Xie and Chen families cannot be broken, and this matter is not solely Xu Chuan's fault. But women are different from men. If this gets out, all the dozen or so girls in my Jiang family will be doomed."
"Such a sin is something neither my Jiang family nor your Xie family can bear."
Hua Nanzhi was so angry that she tore the silk thread of the handkerchief in her hand.
That Jiang Hong is shameless!
Xie San Niang and Xie Boyu also looked unhappy, but since their Xie family had something on them, they had no choice but to swallow their anger.
But Jiang Hong didn't know what restraint meant. He sighed and said, "The child in Wan Su's belly is, after all, Xu Chuan's flesh and blood, flowing with the blood of your Xie family."
“Xu Chuan is engaged to the Shen family girl, and our Jiang family does not want to break up the alliance between the two families.”
“I, Jiang Hong, am not an unreasonable person. How about this?”
"The child in Wansu's womb will be raised by my Jiang family."
"But since the Jiang family has contributed manpower to raising the Xie family's bloodline, it's not fair to expect the Jiang family to contribute money as well, is it?"
The Xie family members looked increasingly grim. Zheng Shu was about to jump up and spit on Jiang Hong when Xie Chengzhi grabbed her hand and held her down.
The bigger the scandal of the first wife's family is exposed, the better. Only by causing unrest in the whole family can the second wife's family have a chance to rise to power.
Xie Chengzhi stood calmly in his original position, and when he turned his head, he heard Jiang Hong say, "After all, he is the golden grandson of the eldest son of the Xie family, so he cannot be raised carelessly. I think it would be better to transfer 30% of the Xie family's assets to this child, so as not to disgrace the status of the eldest son of the Xie family."
Everyone's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, but Xie Xuchuan sighed deeply and felt relieved.
