Chapter 1297: The bigger the fuss, the better
When Lord Xia returned to the mansion, it was already dark.
The place should have been decorated with lights and lively, but it wasn't.
The black door was tightly closed, exuding a chilly air.
Lord Xia had a bad premonition in his heart and hurried into the mansion.
In the front hall, the Su family had not left yet.
Each of them was filled with anger, their faces as gloomy as water.
As soon as Lord Xia entered the room, everyone looked over anxiously.
"Master!" Mrs. Xia seemed to have found her backbone.
"What exactly happened?" Lord Xia didn't bother to greet the Su family and asked his wife anxiously.
Anyway, we are not outsiders, so there is no need to care about those empty formalities.
"Master, you have to make the decision for Yaer..."
Before Mrs. Xia could finish her words, tears started falling again.
I was angry, sad, and ashamed.
There was nothing she could do, since Zou Shuqin was a relative from her mother's side.
After hearing what his wife said, Lord Xia subconsciously glanced at his daughter.
Xia Siya stood beside Madam Xia, her face full of anger and her eyes were red.
"Godfather, that scumbag Bai San cheated on Zou Shuqin!" Tang Bao's face was filled with anger as she sputtered, "Zou Shuqin is already pregnant with Bai San's child. She's been kept in the backyard by the Bai family, waiting for Sister Siya to marry into the family and then be treated like a concubine!"
Lord Xia: "..."
His face was filled with shock and he almost fainted.
"Is this true?" Lord Xia widened his eyes, still unable to believe it.
This son-in-law has always had a good reputation.
Young, promising and talented.
Although I didn’t get into high school this time, there are many talented people in the world who failed the exam.
Lord Xia didn't think there was anything wrong.
After all, thanks to the favor of the emperor, Bai Shuzhi was able to enter the officialdom.
"Really! More real than real gold!" Tang Bao nodded heavily and said, "I've already had someone secretly check the backyard of the Bai Mansion. Zou Shuqin has been placed in a small courtyard in the northwest corner..."
What Tang Bao didn't say was that she also specifically asked the people she sent to secretly assist in releasing Mo Ju, the maidservant beside Zou Shuqin.
Mo Ju has already returned to the Zou Mansion for help. I guess the Zou family has already learned the news.
Even if the Bai family wants to suppress this matter, the Zou family will also make a fuss.
The Zou family would definitely not be willing to have their daughter become a concubine...
Tang Bao silently hoped that this incident would become as big as possible.
Lord Xia: "...this is too much...this is simply too much..."
Lord Xia was so angry that his hair stood on end and he turned around several times on the spot.
Old Man Su rolled up his sleeves and said loudly, "Brother Xia, we can't just let this go! What do you think we should do?"
After saying that, he looked at his two sons beside him.
Then he said, "I have the manpower ready. What do you think, should we go directly to their door, or what?"
Lord Xia slammed the table.
"Let's go! To the Bai family!"
Having such a thing happen before marriage is a slap in the face of the Xia family!
After Lord Xia finished speaking, he was about to go out.
A maid walked in quickly from outside the door, with an angry look on her face, and reported: "Master, Madam, my cousin and uncle from the Zou family are here."
Everyone: “…”
Mrs. Xia's expression changed suddenly.
"What cousins? The Xia family doesn't have such relatives!" Madam Xia screamed, "Kick them out!"
Tang Bao quickly said, "Godmother, wait a minute!"
Mrs. Xia looked at Tang Bao.
Tang Bao said: "Why don't we listen to what they have to say? Their family has done a bad job of educating their daughter, and she did something so shameful. Since they have the nerve to come here, we naturally can't miss this opportunity. We must vent our anger!"
Tang Bao said this, waved his little fist, and continued domineeringly: "Originally, even if they didn't come, I would have thought of knocking on their door! Now that they have come to our door, of course we don't have to be polite! We can't just let them go like this, right, godmother?"
Madam Xia: “…
Yes! Absolutely right!
She was so angry!
I haven't even come to my door yet, but they are here to help. Shouldn't I slap them in the face and keep them for the New Year?
"Let the person in!" Mrs. Xia raised her voice and showed a fierce expression.
This maid was the head maidservant beside Madam Xia, so naturally she had heard some inside stories.
So, after listening to what Madam Xia said, he agreed and walked out with high spirits.
Soon, a pot-bellied man and a middle-aged woman with ordinary looks but dressed somewhat seductively walked in.
As soon as the woman entered the room, she took a handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes.
She cried and said, "Cousin, you have to make the decision for Qin'er... wuwu..."
Everyone: “……???”
The people in the room couldn't help but look at each other.
Mrs. Xia almost laughed out of anger.
After all, they are cousins, so Mrs. Xia was not surprised to see Mrs. Zou behave like this.
"Shut up! Who is your cousin? I don't have a relative like you!" Madam Xia gritted her teeth and shouted, "Liu Fanhua! Don't try that! Putting the blame on someone else doesn't always work!"
Mrs. Zou's crying stopped.
Madam Xia continued, "Looking at you, you must have known what shameless thing your daughter did, right? And you're still thinking of saying it was the Third Young Master of the Bai family who forced your daughter into a coercion?"
Madam Xia glanced at Lord Xia and continued, "If that's the case, my master is here. He's the Minister of Justice and will definitely make the decision for you."
As soon as Madam Xia finished speaking, Lord Xia said with a sullen face, "That's right! If you are suing Bai Shuzhi, I will take the case. I will send someone to the Bai Mansion to arrest Bai Shuzhi tonight!"
Madam Zou: “…”
I can't cry anymore.
Mr. Zou said quickly, "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Cousin-in-law, don't listen to the nonsense of a woman like her. Shuqin is wrong in this matter. I wish I could beat her to death, but now that she is pregnant with the Bai family's child, it's not something we can do..."
When Mr. Zou said this, he sighed with a sad face.
He continued, "What do you think we should do about this? Shuqin is now detained at the Bai family. Maybe we can only let the cousins marry there at the same time..."
"Bah!" Madam Xia pinched her waist and cursed loudly, "Zou Xinju! Stop dreaming! Are you thinking of making Siya the principal wife and your daughter the co-wife?"
When Mr. Zou saw Madam Xia like this, he shuddered and subconsciously took a step back.
"This, this can't be helped, right?" Master Zou said cautiously, "They are cousins, one is the principal wife and the other is the concubine. It's easy for them to get along with each other. In the future in the Bai Mansion, they can help each other..."
Before Mr. Zou could finish his words, Mrs. Su Liu suddenly swung the fire poker in her hand.
"You wish! Who the hell is your daughter? What qualifications does she have to stand beside Sister Xia?!"
