The Xie family returned to Beijing this time not for any other reason, but now is a critical time to decide whether Xie Huaixing can be adopted.
If he succeeds, a road to heaven will be waiting for him in the future.
Xie Huaixing and the Xie family both attached great importance to reputation at this time.
The Xie family naturally would not accept Xu Lingyi's accusations.
Xie Huaixing's biological sister jumped out. They were close friends when they were young. In Xu Lingyi's mind, she was the most gentle and lovely woman in the world.
But at this moment, this friend in her mind said the most heartbreaking words in the most gentle tone.
"Yier." Xie Huaiyu pursed his lips, his voice soft and clear: "Brother and you have never had any marriage certificate, why did you forge it?"
"Besides, my brother has always liked virtuous women. My brother and I have both witnessed you whipping servants at will and killing innocent people. We have also seen you bullying your younger siblings, and even more so, you contradicted and insulted the old lady in the mansion. You are so spoiled, willful, cruel, and domineering, and you don't care about human life. How could my brother like you, let alone promise to marry you..."
Xu Lingyi was stunned. She kept shaking her head with tears in her eyes. "I didn't do it, Huaiyu. Why do you say that? I didn't do it."
She had contradicted the old lady and whipped the servants, but there were reasons for that.
She had never murdered anyone.
But Xie Huaiyu didn't give her a chance to explain. She was determined to completely ruin her reputation this time.
"Yier, you really don't have it?" Xie Huaiyu said with pity.
Dressed in plain clothes, she looked exceptionally gentle, like a fairy, and her words seemed particularly believable: "Not only do my brother and I know about this, your sister knows about this too. Mianmian, what do you think? Did she really never scold you and your brother? Did she never do those things?"
"Sister Huaiyu, I..." Xu Lingmian seemed extremely conflicted, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
Xie Huaiyu curled his lips in his heart, Xu Lingmian's expression was more effective than words.
The way she looked like she had no way to express her suffering made her seem more real.
The people around were in an uproar.
"I've heard she's spoiled and willful, but I didn't know she could be this vicious."
"How could such a vicious young lady appear in the General's Mansion? It is simply a disgrace to the General's reputation."
"She is unfilial and unfraternal, cruel and ruthless. I'm afraid no one in the world would dare to marry a woman like her."
"No matter how high your status is or how beautiful your face is, I wouldn't dare marry her. If she can kill her relatives, who knows if she will kill her husband one day."
…………
Xie Huaiyu listened to the sounds around him and curled his lips in his heart.
But he still looked like a kind-hearted bodhisattva.
"Yier, I know you've been obsessed with my brother since you were little, but marriage can't be forced. For the sake of our past relationship, please stop making trouble and go back, okay?"
She seemed to hold her hand soothingly.
"I didn't do those things!"
Xu Lingyi was wronged, how could she remain calm? She pushed Xie Huaiyu away.
But she didn't use much strength at all, and Xie Huaiyu fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
"Huaiyu!!"
Xie Huaixing leaned over and picked up Xie Huaiyu. Before leaving, he gave her a cold look and said, "If anything happens to Huaiyu... I won't let you go."
After returning home, my grandmother already knew about what had happened.
She slapped her to the ground, and not satisfied, she asked someone to slap her thirty times.
"You shameful thing, you made such a scene in public, not only embarrassing yourself, but also our Xu family! How dare you, a bastard, still be alive? I wish I could beat you to death with a stick."
The stepmother quickly stopped the old lady and said, "Yier is young, so she didn't know what she was doing. Mother, please calm down. Why don't you confine Yier to her house? Otherwise, if the general comes back and finds out, then... he won't know how heartbroken he will be."
It would have been fine if she hadn't said anything, but once she did, Old Madam Xu's breathing became even more rapid.
She pressed her chest. She had only given birth to one son in this life. This son was extremely promising. Before he married Xu Lingyi's mother, he was very obedient to her. But after he married that bitch, he had disobeyed her many times for her and no longer showed any filial piety to her as before.
After so much trouble getting rid of that bitch... there turned out to be another evil beast.
His own son wanted to praise this evil creature to the sky.
"So what if he knows? Princess, there's no need to persuade him anymore."
The old lady sneered, "I am the elder, and it is only natural for me to punish a disobedient junior. Even if I beat him to death, what can he do?"
After Xu Lingyi was slapped thirty times, she was also caned twenty times by the old lady. That night, she developed a high fever and almost died.
My father is currently leading troops to fight outside, and the war on the border is tense. He has no time to take care of the affairs in the capital. What can the guards he left for her before leaving do in front of the old lady?
Guards are just guards after all.
It was half a year later when my father came back.
The beating she received from her grandmother that day further confirmed what Xie Huaiyu said. She already had a reputation for being spoiled, and now everyone thought she was vicious by nature.
Even my own sister admitted it implicitly, so who wouldn't believe it since everyone else is saying it?
After Xu's father returned to Beijing, Xie Huaixing had already become the crown prince, and his status was no longer the same as before.
The prince is the king and he is the minister.
Even if I wanted to seek justice from the Xie family, it was too late now.
After returning to Beijing, Xu's father planned to take Xu Lingyi to the border.
"I am worried about leaving you in the capital, so I will find a marriage for you in the frontier. I have many soldiers under my command..."
Xu Lingyi nodded. At home, her grandmother spoke coldly to her. She talked to her stepmother and her younger brothers and sisters, but ignored her.
The same thing happened when she went to a banquet. Everyone in the capital was laughing at her. Even when she went out with her stepmother to attend a banquet, no one approached her.
At that time, she was disheartened and thought it would be better to go to the frontier.
But she doesn't want to get married.
When she was twenty years old, the empress dowager died of illness, and soon the emperor died of poisoning. Xie Huaixing naturally ascended the throne and became emperor.
When she heard the name again, Xu Lingyi thought she was not moved, but she found that she still hated him in her heart.
He heard that Xie Huaixing had married his beloved woman as his queen.
It turned out that she was not the daughter of a wealthy family, but just an ordinary female doctor.
He said that day that he wanted to be with this female doctor for the rest of his life, but as soon as he became emperor, her sister Xu Lingmian entered the palace and became the imperial concubine.
Xu Lingyi also understood why Xu Lingmian helped Xie Huaiyu to slander her that day.
"You will definitely like the man your father has chosen for you this time. Why don't you take a look?"
Xu Lingyi nodded indifferently, thinking that maybe it was time for her to get married.
She was lost in thought when she bumped into a monk on the road.
"Donor, please watch the road carefully."
Xu Lingyi looked up at him and felt that this man looked very familiar.
When the monk's back became unclear, she realized who he looked like.
He actually looks like the deceased emperor!
Xu Lingyi wanted to confirm, but it was too late.
