Chapter 133 I'm Married
After Xie Rongying came out of the ear room, she went straight to the main room.
Mei Xiaoniang thought that if she told Xie Rongying what she knew, she could escape punishment.
After all, the truth had been revealed, and she had revealed her thoughts.
The Xie family couldn't possibly keep her trapped in the backyard. She had already made up her mind that as long as she left the Xie family, she could live a stable life by being frugal with the money she had saved over the years.
When Mei Xiaoniang saw Xie Rongying walking straight into Old Madam Xie's main hall, she frowned and was about to say something when Cuizhi stood in front of her.
"Why are you blocking me?" Mei Xiaoniang stared at Cuizhi coldly.
Cuizhi smiled and said, "What are you still doing standing here?"
"The girl hasn't..."
"Miss, are you alright?" Cuizhi's smile faded, and a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes: "You don't think that Miss is going to let you go, do you?"
Mei Xiaoniang's expression froze: "The girl..."
Cuizhi continued, "The girl didn't promise you anything."
"What are you going to do?" Mei Xiaoniang looked at Dongxue and two servants coming towards her, and panic appeared in her eyes: "I told you everything you want to know!"
"Since you can tell your lover, what's wrong with telling the young lady?" Dongxue stepped forward and asked coldly, "You don't really think our young lady will be kind to you?"
Mei Xiaoniang stepped back again and again. Since she was discovered yesterday, she had not received any punishment from Old Lady Xie. She thought that Old Lady Xie felt guilty towards her.
Xie Jing had never been to her yard for so many years, so he could understand the loneliness in her backyard.
The worst that could happen is that she would be kicked out of the Xie family.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xie was waiting for Xie Rongying to come back and deal with her.
"Isn't the wealth and glory that the Xie family has given you enough? They even want you to betray the Xie family for your lover?" Cuizhi stared at Mei Xiaoniang coldly.
Dongxue looked Mei Xiaoniang up and down, then said with a smile, "If you can't stand the loneliness, then I'll send you to a good place so that you won't be lonely every night."
Before Mei Xiaoniang could react, Dongxue ordered, "Tie her up and take her away!"
"What are you going to do!? What are you going to do!?" Mei Xiaoniang screamed, and the next moment her mouth was covered by the servant and she was dragged out of the yard.
Dongxue followed.
Cuizhi turned and walked towards the main hall.
Old Mrs. Xie, who was sitting in the main seat in the main hall, heard Mei Xiaoniang's voice disappear and glanced at Xie Rongying who looked relaxed.
"Rong'er is more decisive now than before she got married." There was a hint of sigh in Mrs. Xie's tone.
Xie Rongying's eyes curved, and she spoke to Old Madam Xie with a hint of playfulness: "Don't drag your feet on anything. That's what my grandmother taught me."
"It seems you've been wronged in the Qin family, so you took Grandma's words to heart." Old Madam Xie thought about what Xie Rongying was facing now, which was beyond her control, and sighed softly: "From now on, you have to walk your own path. If you have someone to help you, that's a good thing. If you're going to walk alone, remember to keep your feet on the ground and don't have any illusions."
"Especially, don't be dependent on men."
"Yes, grandma." Xie Rongying replied gently.
Mrs. Xie's gaze lingered on Xie Rongying's profile for a moment, and she said, "Do you want to know about your father and mother's affairs?"
Xie Rongying raised her eyebrows and looked at Old Lady Xie: "Grandma is willing to talk, and granddaughter will listen. Grandma is unwilling to talk, and granddaughter does not want to know."
As a child, Xie Rongying clearly felt that her mother rejected her, but she also felt sorry for her.
It was as if disgust and love were intertwined in her mother's heart.
Perhaps because he was afraid that she would notice something, he stayed with Mrs. Xie since he was very young.
Old Madam Xie loved Xie Rongying very much. Even if Xie Jing was busy with official duties, Old Madam Xie would let Xie Jing stay with Xie Rongying for at least an hour after returning home.
"Aren't you curious why your father has only one daughter like you?" said Mrs. Xie.
Xie Rongying's eyebrows moved slightly, but she didn't say anything.
Old Mrs. Xie sighed deeply, a look of melancholy in her eyes. "You also know that your mother's family has fallen on hard times. During the first year of Jingyou, the Yan family was considered prosperous. But then the Yan family's pharmaceutical business ran into trouble and was sealed off by the government. People from your mother's family fled or disappeared, and those who were imprisoned by the government spent every day in jail, hoping to see your father."
"I know this." Xie Rongying said calmly.
"Your father ignored the Yan family. At that time, the Xie family was helpless in Bianjing. And your mother knew that your father would not lend a helping hand to the Yan family."
Xie Rongying listened to what Old Madam Xie said with an indifferent expression.
"Medicine and poison go hand in hand. Your mother may not be a good doctor, but she's a master at using poison." Old Mrs. Xie seemed to recall the chaotic times in the Xie family and sighed, "When she learned your father only married her because she looked like another woman, she made sure your father never had any children."
When Xie Rongying heard this, other emotions finally appeared in her eyes.
Madam Xie continued, "Grandmother never blamed your mother. If I had known that your father had other feelings for your mother, I would not have agreed to this marriage."
"Your father hated your mother, so he started letting many women into the mansion. Grandmother was old, and no matter how she disciplined them, it was useless. Your mother left the Xie Mansion in anger, but she would not divorce your father because she still had you."
Old Madam Xie shook Xie Rongying's hand and said, "Rongying, we in the entire Xie family understand who is right and who is wrong in the matter between your father and your mother. In fact, your second uncle came back this time just to hand the Xie family over to you."
"What?" Xie Rongying asked in shock.
Old Madam Xie sighed, "When your second uncle and I agreed to your marriage into the Qin family, it was actually to consolidate our power. After all, a tall tree attracts the wind. The Xie family's business is growing bigger and bigger, and the wealth they have accumulated is also making people wary, even though the Xie family sends money to the national treasury every year."
"But who can tell the emperor's heart?"
"Even if my father doesn't have a son, my second uncle does. Otherwise, Xie Ting..." When Xie Rongying mentioned Xie Ting, she saw that Madam Xie's face was not right, so she shut up.
Madam Xie pondered for a moment and said, "Your second uncle's family can do business, but it is impossible for them to gain a foothold in Bianjing and consolidate the Xie family."
"Your father..." Madam Xie sighed, "Although your father has made some achievements in his official career, he can't live and die for a woman."
Xie Rongying really didn't expect that Old Madam Xie would have such thoughts. She said in a low and heavy voice: "Grandma, but I'm already married."
"So what if you're married?" Mrs. Xie raised her eyebrows slightly. "Your heart is in the Xie family."
