Chapter 159: Shooting oneself in the foot
"Why did you bring so many people with you?"
"Their identities are not ordinary, and we can't keep them secret. Now the reputation of our Xie family is completely ruined."
Seeing that Madam Xie Hou had fainted on the ground without any reaction, Xie Lao San suppressed his anger and called the court doctor.
The court physician gave Mrs. Xie Hou an injection.
Mrs. Xie Hou slowly woke up.
The first thing he said when he woke up was, "Where's Xie Yingmian?"
"Xie Yingmian was caught cheating, right? Has her reputation been ruined?"
Xie Laosan suppressed his anger and said, "Sister-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"I repeatedly told the messenger to tell you to come alone."
"Why was the servant who delivered the message gagged?"
"Why did you bring so many people here?"
The memories that had been lost for a short time returned like a tide, and Madam Xie Hou remembered,
The one who got into trouble wasn't Xie Yingmian,
He is her husband, the Marquis of Xie Mansion.
Her husband and his maid had an affair during the day, and he even had a stroke due to excessive excitement.
All the people she brought with her heard and saw it!
Mrs. Xie Hou's chest was filled with anger.
It’s all that bitch Xie Yingmian’s fault!
If it weren't for Xie Yingmian, how could she have lost face so much.
Lady Xie Hou wished she could tear Xie Yingmian to pieces right away.
"Sister-in-law, did you hear what I said to you?" Seeing that Madam Xie was still in a daze, Xie Lao San emphasized his tone, "Brother's condition is very bad. We need a doctor to come."
"The token of the Marquis' Mansion is in your hands. Please have someone call the imperial physician as quickly as possible."
"The court doctor said that if the time is short, there is still a possibility of recovery, but if it is long, my brother may be disabled."
Mrs. Xie Hou realized the seriousness of the problem.
She gave the key to her confidant and asked him to get the token.
"What's going on?" asked Madam Xie Hou, "Why is your elder brother hanging out with Hong Yao?"
"And the fourth brother, that bastard has never been interested in women. He even slept in the same room with a dog every day, treating it like his own son. He even made his wife go back to her parents' home in anger. His wife didn't even come home for the old lady's birthday party. How could he be having an affair with Hongyao?"
It would have been better if Madam Xie hadn't asked.
When asked, Xie Laosan was so angry that he was about to explode.
"If only I knew what was going on."
"The eldest brother and the fourth brother rushed towards the maid named Hongyao like crazy, and there was no way to stop them."
"It took me and several strong men a lot of effort to separate them."
The more Xie Laosan spoke, the angrier he became. "If they wanted to do something ridiculous, they could have gone to a yard farther away, but they chose to do it here."
"This place is only separated from the men's banquet by a wall. The eldest brother and the fourth brother were fighting over a woman. Their absurd and blatant noises at the birthday banquet were heard by everyone."
"I explained and stopped them again and again, and finally I managed to smooth things over."
"You are so kind..."
Xie Laosan's eyes turned dark when he mentioned this matter.
On weekdays, he was often jealous of the boss and also tried to trip him up.
But, it is only limited to the Xie family.
The Xie family is a whole.
If the Xie family is finished, he will be finished too.
Once such a scandal comes out, his children's marriages will be affected.
"Why did sister-in-law bring so many people?"
"Hey boy, didn't you see the strong servant at the door?" Xie Laosan couldn't help complaining.
Mrs. Xie knew that she had done something wrong.
He also knew how big a mess he had made.
But she would never admit that she was wrong.
"It's all because of that bitch Xie Yingmian." Madam Xie Hou said bitterly.
"Third Brother, you know that bitch Xie Yingmian gave us a head start when she came to the Marquis' Mansion and drove away many of the Marquis's distinguished guests."
"She also beat Baozhang and Baoyu. Baozhang and Baoyu's faces were so badly beaten that they dared not appear in public."
"The old lady got a little sick from being frightened by the lucky snake cake she made, and she's still resting in her room."
"She relied on her status as Princess Ling to look down on me. I was so angry that I thought she was cheating on me, so I brought people here."
"Who knows, who knows..."
Who knew that she would end up shooting herself in the foot.
After hearing this, Xie Laosan was so angry that he almost jumped up.
So stupid.
So stupid.
My mother is stupid, and my sister-in-law is even stupider.
No matter what Xie Yingmian's previous identity was, she is now Princess Ling.
As long as Prince Ling does not divorce his wife, no one can disrespect her as the legitimate princess.
Instead of thinking about how to ease the relationship, her mother and sister-in-law thought about taking advantage of her and bullying her as before.
Isn't this pure stupidity?
"No." Mrs. Xie Hou thought of something and stood up with a "swoosh".
"Hongyao is Xie Yingmian's maidservant. Why would she go to the male relatives' side if she wasn't serving Xie Yingmian?"
She remembers it clearly.
Xie Yingmian brought two maids with her.
She also saw Hongyao at the gate.
Later, the only unfamiliar maid left by Xie Yingmian's side.
"It's a trap." Madam Xie Hou wanted to bite her teeth to pieces. "It's a trap set by Xie Yingmian."
"She deliberately set up Hongyao to seduce the Marquis, deliberately made the Marquis look bad, deliberately made the Xie family look bad, and deliberately embarrassed me."
"What a vicious mind! The bitch born of a bitch is vicious."
"I can't let her go easily. I'm going to settle the score with her."
Mrs. Xie walked out angrily.
Xie Laosan wanted to give him some advice.
The ugly thing was done by the eldest brother, and the person was brought here by the eldest sister-in-law herself, so it can't be blamed on Xie Yingmian, right?
It's not that he defended Xie Yingmian,
But Xie Yingmian is Princess Ling. If she is used well, it will be good for the Xie family.
When Xie Lao San met the murderous gaze of Madam Xie Hou, his words got stuck in his throat.
For the glory of the Xie family, he can maintain the dignity of the Xie family.
But when it comes to personal grudges, he doesn't bother to care.
Silly sister-in-law, maybe you can become smarter if you encounter more setbacks.
Mrs. Xie Hou went to find Xie Baoyu and Xie Baozhang first.
Xie Baozhang and Xie Baoyu were drinking tea and eating snacks.
Seeing his mother coming in full force, Xie Baoyu quickly stood up and said, "Mom, weren't you entertaining guests upstairs? How did you find time to come here?"
Madam Xie Hou asked, "Are you plotting against Xie Yingmian?"
Xie Baoyu was very proud when talking about this matter: "Yes, Xie Yingmian has fallen into the trap."
"She offended someone she shouldn't have offended, and she will surely die."
"Don't worry, mother. Bao Zhang and I used a very clever trick to kill someone with a borrowed knife. We both got away with it cleanly. The other party won't suspect us. They will only target Xie Yingmian."
"Even if Xie Yingmian is lucky enough to survive, she won't have a good life if she's targeted by them."
Xie Baozhang noticed that his mother's face looked strange: "Mom, what happened?"
Upon hearing the news that Xie Yingmian might be dead, the anger that had been pent up in Mrs. Xie's heart finally dissipated a little.
"It's okay, I'm just worried you might overdo it."
"Where is Xie Yingmian?"
"In Haitang Garden." Xie Baoyu wanted to go and see what was going on. "She should have become a corpse by now. I'll go with you to take a look."
