Chapter 424: The Terrible Old Lady
"Okay." Without Sheng Beibei's instructions, Snowball quickly exchanged for the truth talisman and threw it at Old Madam Xia. Done!
Snowball rubbed his hands together and said, "Host, ask quickly."
"Mrs. Xia, what do you think about this matter?" Sheng Beibei's tone was a little careless, but it seemed to be able to oppress people's nerves. An incredible thought arose in everyone's mind.
Could it be that Sheng Beibei suspected that Old Madam Xia was behind this?
Oh my god! Old Madam Xia is the mother-in-law of Second Madam Xia! Although conflicts are likely to arise between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they won't escalate to the point of murder, right?
Not really?
Unexpectedly, the old lady who was sitting in her seat and twirling her Buddhist beads had a distorted expression on her face and said in a cold voice: "Oh! I just hate that vixen for being so tough!"
As soon as he finished speaking, silence fell at the door of the delivery room.
Mrs. Xiao Ruoqin, the eldest lady of the Xia family, who was originally standing next to Old Madam Xia, shook her head in disbelief and subconsciously took a half step back. Old Madam Xia's granddaughter Xia Qiyun also looked as if she had been struck by lightning.
Oh my god, I'm not hallucinating, am I?
How much hatred and resentment is there? Do you wish the other person would die immediately?
Sheng Beibei raised an eyebrow. It turned out to be Madam Xia's doing. This old lady was really vicious. First she abandoned Chi Mingchu, then she murdered her aunt, and finally she gave her only granddaughter to a playboy for marriage.
Tsk tsk tsk, he always targets his own family members.
After all, if Old Madam Xia hadn't abandoned Chi Mingchu, perhaps the farce of the real and fake daughter would never have happened, and the Chi family would not have ended up like this today. She has really screwed her daughter and her family.
Now he is pitting his own son again...
"So you hired someone to kill someone?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Old Madam Xia, and the scorching gazes almost burned a hole in her. Old Madam Xia was fearless. She just wanted to get it off her chest. She had been feeling aggrieved for too long.
"That's right, it was me who asked Dr. Jia to keep that vixen from getting off the operating table! And it turned out to be a failure!"
Old Madam Xia felt a little regretful. She didn't regret hiring someone to kill someone, but that Doctor Jia wasn't quick enough, allowing Yao Yao to escape.
She glared at Dr. Jia fiercely and said angrily, "You are such a loser that you can't even handle a woman who just gave birth! You are such a good-for-nothing, you are a man!"
"Mom, you..." Xiao Ruoqin was frightened by Madam Xia's tremendous resentment. For so many years, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been together, but she never thought that the mother-in-law would actually kill someone. If one day the mother-in-law disliked her, wouldn't she hire someone to kill her?
"Why are you yelling? Xiao Ruoqin, you are a hen that doesn't lay eggs. When Jin'er's woman gives birth to a son, I will immediately ask him to divorce you! You are so unlucky, you are a jinx, and you want to make our Xia family extinct."
"Have you wanted to drive me away for a long time?" Xiao Ruoqin repeated with a trembling tone.
For so many years, she had taken good care of her mother-in-law, enduring beatings and scoldings, living a life worse than even that of a servant. Even though she had no merits, she had worked hard, but as a result, her mother-in-law had long since stopped tolerating her.
“That’s right!”
Old Madam Xia was unhappy and had been tormenting Xiao Ruoqin for many years, especially after Xiao Ruoqin's family fell from power. She became even more unscrupulous, forcing her to get up in the middle of the night to cook porridge, peel nuts with bare hands, and wash clothes with cold water in winter...
Anyway, all possible means of torturing people in the harem were used.
Xiao Ruoqin stayed in the Xia family and worked hard without complaint and never resisted for the sake of her only daughter, but Old Madam Xia did not appreciate it at all. Instead, she thought Xiao Ruoqin was shameless and took out her anger on her even more.
If the woman that Master Xia had outside could give birth to a child, Old Madam Xia would have no hesitation in kicking Xiao Ruoqin out of the house and bringing the woman home in a sedan chair carried by eight people.
Xia Qiyun couldn't help herself when she heard her grandmother admit to hiring someone to kill her aunt and ruthlessly poking her mother's lungs.
"Grandma, you're going too far!"
Xia Qiyun was young in the past and had no say at all. She didn't dare to confront her grandmother. She only hoped to marry into a wealthy family in the future. Later, she changed her mind and started a career to support her mother.
Grandma is getting more and more terrifying now. She can even kill people. How can she feel at ease letting mom and grandma stay together?
Old Madam Xia stomped her cane on the ground and scolded, "Xia Qiyun, how do you talk to your elders? You are so uneducated. Like mother, like daughter!"
"You little bitch, you can only marry the heir of the Xia family in exchange for some benefits. You have no right to speak at all."
Madam Xia's words almost made everyone present drop their jaws.
Who is this old lady? His heart couldn't be any darker. He simply doesn't treat his daughter-in-law and granddaughter as human beings!
The last bit of affection Xia Qiyun had for Old Madam Xia was also shattered.
It turns out that in grandma's eyes, she has always been just a tool for marriage. She has been with her for more than ten years, but she is not as good as her little cousin who was just born and she has never even seen him. She has spent her whole life paving the way for her little cousin...
Mrs. Xie said bluntly: "Why did you hire someone to kill Madam Xia? Didn't she give birth to the heir of your Xia family?" When she mentioned the word "heir", Mrs. Xie's expression was indescribable.
This old woman is biased towards boys after all. Tsk, tsk, tsk, what era is this? She still...
"Why?" Old Madam Xia sneered, "She is a vixen. My Chen'er has been bewitched by her and has lost his mind. He even disobeyed me for that woman. Obviously, my Chen'er used to be very well behaved."
"I love Chen'er so much, how can I watch him being deceived?"
"I asked the doctor to test the gender of the baby, and it's a boy. If that vixen is still around, she would definitely not agree to let me keep the child with me. He is the heir of our Xia family, and I must raise him personally."
"The revitalization of our Xia family depends entirely on this child. I will definitely make him a dragon among men."
"For Chen'er and the Xia family, that vixen must die!"
The crowd was too tired to complain, but Old Madam Xia was still talking, "Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell. It's normal to die like this."
"When that vixen is gone, I'll find him a well-behaved and obedient one. It will be great for us to be together as a family."
Old Madam Xia kept repeating to herself like a madman: "Why is that vixen so lucky? Why? God is so blind! Vixens like that should be chopped into pieces!"
If it weren't for the fact that Old Madam Xia was already in her seventies, everyone would have wanted to rush over and sew her stinky mouth shut.
Mrs. Xie couldn't help but curse, "I've never seen such a vicious old woman." Damn it, she has no humanity at all, she kills people whenever she wants, she's lawless!
Dean Xie soothed her, "Don't say anything. Just hand her over to the police later."
