I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

After hearing Xie Liang's last words, Mrs. Xie was suddenly stunned. She stared at Xie Liang blankly and couldn't speak for a long time.

After a long while, she finally found her voice: "Xie Liang, you have no conscience! I gave birth to your children and managed your family business, but in the end, you want to divorce me!"

"You were the one who was unreasonable first!"

"How am I unreasonable?" Mrs. Xie asked harshly.

"Even ordinary families who are rich still want to take concubines. I have been with you all these years, which is already very kind of you. If you continue to make trouble like this, both of us will suffer. Think about it carefully!"

After saying that, Xie Liang no longer looked at Madam Xie. He just stood up, tied the cloak for Shen Xingnuan himself, took Shen Xingnuan's hand, and walked out.

This scene deeply hurt Mrs. Xie's eyes.

Xie Liang had never taken such good care of her, never!

It was not until the two of them had left for a long time that she came to her senses when she heard Nanny Rong's call.

In an instant, she saw Cui Shuyan, and her face suddenly turned cold: "Why are you still here?"

Cui Shuyan didn't answer her: "Mother, if I were you, I wouldn't do this."

Madam Xie frowned and asked unhappily, "What do you mean by that?"

"Literally. Now, that Concubine Shen already has a son and is pregnant with another. Under such circumstances, father-in-law will definitely not abandon her. So, no matter how you make a fuss, father-in-law will not change his mind. If you make too much trouble, he will take the child out of the house and raise him outside. In the end, you will still be the one who is embarrassed."

"No, that's impossible!"

"How is it impossible? Think about it, mother. As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. You have too many concerns now, and your father-in-law is trapped in love. Because of your opposition, he is in a very important position, so naturally he will not consider so many things. For example, your most important children, let me say something unpleasant. Look at his attitude, he doesn't care. But this is exactly what you care about."

"Keep talking."

"If you continue to make a fuss like this, it will hurt the reputation of my husband and Chun Ya. My husband is not on the list, and he is very upset. He is not willing to go out in the first place. If this matter is further publicized, I am afraid he will be even less willing to go out. It is obviously inappropriate for a person of this age not to go out and socialize and just stay at home. Besides, Chun Ya..."

Cui Shuyan paused for a moment and took a sip of tea. "Chun Ya has already been engaged to the young Marquis Cheng. If the things in the mansion get out, it will hurt Chun Ya's reputation. Now she has not yet married. If she loses face before getting married, it will be difficult for her to establish her authority after marrying into the mansion. In this way, her life in the mansion will not be easy in the future."

After hearing this, Madam Xie's expression became much more gloomy: "How much money did Shen Xingnuan give you, and she actually let you plan for her!"

"Mother, you misunderstood me. Although I don't like you, I dislike Aunt Shen even more. Her weak and timid emphasis is exactly the same as Lin Xinrou's, which makes me hate her even more. Besides, in my opinion, you don't need to fight with her at all."

"Why?"

"You are not of the same rank, so why fight? You are the mistress and she is the concubine. If you win the fight, you will be branded as a jealous person who doesn't tolerate concubines. If you lose, people will say that a mistress can't even beat a concubine. That's even worse."

Madam Xie frowned and said, "Go on."

"Besides, Shen Xingnuan's only hope is Xie Shaohang and her unborn child. It is still unknown what will happen to these two hopes of hers in the future. But look at you. Although your husband failed the exam this year, he is still famous for his literary talent. If he takes the exam again in a few years, he will definitely be able to pass the exam. And Chunya was able to marry into the Marquis's mansion, and her future will be even more precious. Your two children are already so outstanding. On the other hand, Aunt Shen's son is still unknown, and she doesn't even know whether the child in her belly is a boy or a girl. In this case, what can she use to fight you?"

These words made Madam Xie feel much more relieved.

In an instant, her expression changed, and her sharp eyes were filled with inquiry: "You seem to be a lot smarter today than before."

The implication of this statement is that Cui Shuyan has been hiding her incompetence in the past.

Cui Shuyan smiled and said, "Of course, I also have to consider the child in my belly. This child will have a capable father and an aunt who can become the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion in the future. I can only be happy for him."

After hearing this, Madam Xie's face darkened, and her eyes stayed on Cui Shuyan's belly for a long time. It was a long time before she came back to her senses: "So, you advised me like this for your own sake."

"Yes, if a man does not take care of himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. I naturally have to think about myself."

Madam Xie glanced at her and said, "Go down. I will consider your words carefully."

Cui Shuyan smiled, got up and left.

Back in her own room, Qiao Ya was puzzled: "Miss, why are you helping the eldest lady to make plans?"

She really doesn't understand.

In her opinion, in the current situation, she should instigate Madam Xie and Aunt Shen to fight against each other, and the more intense the fight, the better.

Cui Shuyan smiled faintly: "Do you think Madam Xie can't figure out what I said? No, she is the most calculating person. It's just that Xie Liang didn't take a concubine for so many years, but suddenly he took a concubine and the child is already nine years old. How can she tolerate it? She just can't get over it temporarily. My words are just a reminder to her."

Even if she didn't remind her, Madam Xie would come to her senses after some time.

But Cui Shuyan couldn’t wait.

Now, she just wanted to leave Xie Mansion as soon as possible.

But, she can't leave on her own initiative.

Otherwise, all her previous efforts would be wasted.

It must be Madam Xie who asked to divorce her.

Therefore, during this period of time, Madam Xie cannot focus all her attention on Shen Xingnuan, but should pay more attention to Xie Shaohang.

Only in this way can Cui Shuyan's plan have a chance of success.

It is because of knowing this that I said those words today.

At this time, in Chunfeng Courtyard, Madam Xie thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out: "Rong'er, why do you think Cui Shuyan said those words to me today?"

"Didn't the young lady say that? She was thinking about the baby in her belly."

"That being said, it's still too abrupt. She didn't behave like such a smart person in the past. Could it be that she has been pretending all along?"

Aunt Rong was extremely surprised: "This, this is impossible?"

"How is it impossible? If Cui Shuyan has been hiding her abilities, she is making fun of all of us! She is the only one who will reap the benefits!"

"Madam, I have advised you in similar ways. But you just didn't listen. And I think what the young lady said was not very wise. You are confused because you are in a difficult situation."

In other words, this matter was originally very simple.

It was Madam Xie, as someone involved in the situation, who failed to sort out all the clues.

"No." Madam Xie didn't think so. After she finished speaking, she realized that Madam Rong was about to speak, so she stretched out her hand to stop her, "Don't say anything. Let me think about it. I need to think about it carefully."
