Li Renhuai carried Xue Xuerou out of the Xue residence and brought her back to the Ningxin Marquis's residence in a grand manner.

No, it should be called the Ningxin Earl's Mansion now.

When Li's mother learned that her son had brought her niece back to the mansion, she quickly went to the courtyard where her niece lived.

"What time is it already? How dare you bring your cousin back so openly?" As soon as she entered her niece's room, Li's mother pointed at her son and scolded, "The Emperor just demoted our family's title, and you still bring your cousin back."

"What, are you so eager for the Emperor to punish our family again and revoke the title of Marquis of Ningxin?"

"And you too," Madam Li scolded Xue Xuerou on the bed, "It's all your fault, you jinx! If it weren't for you, things wouldn't have come to this. The once glorious Ningxin Marquis's Mansion has become the Ningxin Earl's Mansion, and Renhuai has lost such a good marriage to the Jiang family."

"I should have known this long ago. You are a jinx who brings bad luck to your parents. I must have been out of my mind to bring you back to raise you."

Mother Li treated her niece like her own daughter, but now the family's marquisate has been reduced to earl, and her son has lost the good marriage to the Jiang family. How could Mother Li not hate her niece?

After all, no matter how much you treat them like your own children, they are not your own children, and they are not as important as your son and your family.

“Mother, how could you say such a thing about Xue Rou?” Li Renhuai shouted angrily at his mother. “Didn’t you see how weak Xue Rou is? If I hadn’t rushed to my maternal grandfather’s house in time, Xue Rou would have starved to death in the Xue family mansion.”

“Mother, you used to love Xue Rou the most,” Li Renhuai said, looking at his mother with a face full of disappointment. “But look at your repulsive appearance now. Are you still the good aunt who loved Xue Rou the most?”

"Snapped!"

The mother, trembling with rage, slapped her son: "I look repulsive! Don't you see that our family has been demoted? We're now the Earl of Ningxin's Mansion, no longer the Marquis of Ningxin's Mansion."

"Furthermore, given the Emperor's current dislike for our Ningxin Marquis's family, do you think you still have a chance to enter the court as an official? Even if you do manage to secure an official position, will the Emperor value you?"

"Most importantly, your sister will probably suffer the Emperor's wrath and lose his favor forever. So tell me, how do you expect me to continue to love her, Xue Xuerou?"

"If she weren't so audacious and unwilling to be your concubine, would you have come up with such an absurd idea?"

“Aunt, it’s all my fault, please don’t blame my cousin anymore,” Xue Xuerou said, supporting her weak body as she got off the bed and knelt down before her mother. “If you want to hit or scold me, just do it to me. It’s all because I was delusional that my cousin made such a big mistake. So even if you want me to die, I will hang myself right now.”

"But my cousin is innocent. Please, Aunt, stop blaming him, okay?"

Xue Xuerou was filled with hatred! How did things turn out like this? Why didn't that bitch Jiang Chunxi behave as her cousin had predicted, and be manipulated by them?

"Xue Rou, get up quickly," Li Renhuai hurriedly picked up Xue Xue Rou and put her back on the bed. "How can this be your fault? It's clearly all that bitch Jiang Chunxi's fault. If that bitch had behaved as we expected, things wouldn't have turned out this way. So even if someone has to atone with their death, it should be that bitch Jiang Chunxi who should be atone."
