Xie Shaohang sat up, his blood-stained face expressionless: "Mother, you were divorced by father. You can't go back to this Xie residence."

"Humph, he said he would give up? I don't recognize this!"

Having said that, Madam Xie's voice eventually weakened.

In a flash, she said, "I can't go back, but you can. You are the eldest son of the Xie family, how can you live outside? Listen to me and go back to live in the Xie residence."

"Mother, there is no money in the mansion's account."

"You are short-sighted! Although there is no money in the account, the house is still there. As long as the house is there, the foundation is there. Now that the child of that bitch Shen Xingnuan is gone, the house belongs to you alone. It is unreasonable for you not to go back and guard your house."

Xie Shaohang was still a little hesitant.

The reason why he didn't go back to live there was that he didn't want to go back to Xie's house and face that mess.

There is no money in the mansion's account right now, but there are still more than twenty servants waiting for their monthly wages. A penny can make a hero fall. If he goes back now and is pressed by the servants to ask when the monthly wages will be paid, he will really lose all his face.

So, he didn't want to go back.

Madam Xie was stunned: "You have lived here for so long, and that bitch Lin Xinrou didn't give you any money to live with?"

"No." As Xie Shaohang spoke, his voice gradually weakened.

It was also at this moment that he suddenly realized that Lin Xinrou was still on guard against him.

During this period, he lived and ate here. If he wanted to eat any delicacies or drink any fine wine, he just had to tell him.

This made him feel extremely free.

But in fact, Lin Xinrou had never given him any money.

What happened today made him realize that Lin Xinrou's heart was no longer with him.

But he was so unwilling!

Why did the woman who used to have his heart and eyes full of him change so suddenly?

This is what Cui Shuyan is like.

This is what Liao Tongxia is like.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xinrou was the same.

What happened to these women?

Is it true as the book says, that if a man has no career, the women around him will leave him one after another?

However, he had only failed the imperial examination, but his talent and knowledge were still there, and he only had to wait another year and a half before the next imperial examination.

With the experience from the last time, he was confident about the next imperial examination.

By then, I will make these women regret it.

At that time, even if they knelt on the ground and begged him one by one, he would not even look at them.

This is the price they pay for looking down on others!

Thinking about this, Xie Shaohang suddenly had the idea of ​​going back.

Anyway, his books are still in the house.

Even if he doesn't live there in the future, those books still have to be moved out.

The books for which he had annotated and written detailed explanations were very important to him.

At this time, seeing that Xie Shaohang's expression had relaxed a little, Madam Xie hurriedly said, "Your father doesn't seem to have much money on the surface, but in fact, he has collected a lot of good things for that bitch surnamed Shen."

"No way?"

Xie Shaohang was a little bit unconvinced.

Because as far as he knew, his father had no income at all.

"Of course not. I just figured it out recently. If he didn't have money, where did he get the money to support that bitch and that bastard all those years? Looking at the complexion of the three of them, they don't look like they have ever lived a hard life. Also, since that bitch came into the mansion, I have deliberately shortchanged her money, but do you think she has been short of food and clothing?"

Xie Shaohang thought about it carefully. Although he had not seen Aunt Shen many times, he could see that she had a rosy complexion. Although she did not wear many pieces of jewelry, each one was extraordinary.

He originally thought that the jewelry came from a public institution, but who knew that it was not.

This also means that my father has some income.

It's just that I'm hiding it from them.

Madam Xie continued, "Now that you have been hiding for so many days, the people from the second house have also moved out. Your father is the only master in the mansion. If the servants are at a loss, they will definitely go to him. So, he should have dealt with this mess. You can go back now and just sit back and enjoy the success."

Xie Shaohang was still a little worried: "What about you?"

"I'm right here. No matter how rich Lin Xinrou's family is, she is still a lowly merchant. Don't worry, she doesn't dare to kill me."

Xie Shaohang thought for a moment and said, "Mom, I'll go back and get some books and I'll be back soon."

"Okay, go ahead. Wash your face and change your clothes before you go out, or else people will laugh at you."

Xie Shaohang responded, washed his face, and went out.

But as soon as he went out, he ran into a group of people.

The leader was Mr. Wen who was beside Xie Xingyuan.

Mr. Wen is Xie Xingyuan's confidant. Even when he was at Prince Xie's Mansion in the past, Xie Shaohang would always speak politely to Mr. Wen when he saw him.

Seeing Mr. Wen at this moment, Xie Shaohang shrank down even more, and began to bow from a distance: "Mr. Wen, I wonder what brings you here today?"

Mr. Wen's face was as cold as ice: "Today, the young lady of the Yun'an Marquis's Mansion went to ask my princess to make the decision, claiming that the death of the second master of the Xie family was deliberately caused by the first lady Xie. We are following the instructions of the princess and come to arrest him!"

The young lady of the Yun'an Marquis's Mansion is Xie Chundai.

"That's impossible!" Xie Shaohang immediately began to refute, "Mother has no grudge against my second uncle, why would she kill him?"

But, after he finished speaking, Xie Shaohang suddenly felt that this might be possible.

When Chunya got married, what Xie Jing did really made his mother lose face.

And mothers are the most vindictive.

"Master Xie, please forgive me for being blunt, but words are not enough. It is better for both parties to verify this matter."

After saying that, Mr. Wen ignored Xie Shaohang and walked straight towards the courtyard.

Xie Shaohang hurriedly followed, pleading as he walked: "Mr. Wen, can you give me a few more days? My mother's injury hasn't healed yet, and she has bedsores. She really can't stand the hardship."

But no matter what Xie Shaohang said, Mr. Wen ignored him and just walked inside.

Soon, Mr. Wen came to Mrs. Xie's room.

Madam Xie had bedsores. In order to be comfortable, she did not wear outer clothes, and even her inner clothes were loose. In addition, it was summer, so she did not even cover herself with a thin blanket.

Seeing Mr. Wen bringing people over, she screamed, grabbed the thin blanket beside her and covered herself with it, exclaiming, "Mr. Wen, you are so brave!"

Mr. Wen looked away with a cold face and ordered, "Come here, carry Madam Xie away!"

Madam Xie refused to give in. "Mr. Wen, please stop bullying others! If you dare to let these people touch me, I will crash into you and die. This will save my reputation."

Mr. Wen did not argue with her and just walked out.

Madam Xie thought her words had worked and was very proud.

However, when she saw the two people who had just walked in from outside, she was stunned!
