Cui Shuyan glanced at Xie Shaohang and said, "What do you mean by that? Why don't you just speak frankly?"

"Because of what happened before, you have been resentful of my mother for a long time, but you have never found a chance to deal with her. So, when Chun Dai came to tell you about these things, you took advantage of the situation and wanted to push this matter onto my mother."

After listening, Cui Shuyan smiled faintly: "It's not worth my trouble to deal with a small character like your mother."

"Of course it's worth it. Because you know in your heart that you killed her without any reason. But if you let her die on the charge of killing my second uncle, her reputation will plummet. As her son, my reputation will also be damaged. You are taking revenge on us."

What Xie Shaohang said was only half right.

She did want to take revenge on them, mother and son, but how far could she go at this point?

She would not let Madam Xie die now.

What would it matter if he died now?

How could Madam Xie die without experiencing the pain of losing a son, as she had experienced before?

Although Xie Chunya died, this is far from enough.

She wanted Madam Xie to watch with her own eyes that Xie Shaohang achieved nothing and died before her.

She wanted Madam Xie to send off her loved ones before her, and she would never be able to rest in peace even in the underworld!

She wants to make Madam Xie's life a living hell!

Therefore, facing Xie Shaohang's questioning, Cui Shuyan smiled indifferently: "You are wrong. Your idea is nothing more than to use such a sophistry to keep your mother's life. However, how to deal with your mother is now a matter of my words. As for what you think, it is completely beyond my consideration."

"This is our Xie family's affair, and it should be decided by my great uncle. Aren't you afraid that my great uncle will blame you for acting so rashly? And...ah!"

Before Xie Shaohang could finish his words, he was hit in the mouth by a stone flying in from the door.

In an instant, severe pain came.

Xie Shaohang spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva mixed with two broken front teeth.

He looked angrily at the person who walked in from the door, and was about to curse, but he held it back.

Just because the person who walked in was none other than Xie Xingyuan.

Xie Xingyuan's face was gloomy, and his voice was even more frighteningly cold: "Even if I am here, the Xie Palace and even the Xie clan are all ruled by your great-aunt."

Xie Shaohang was shocked: "Uncle, I can't write two words of thanks with one stroke. We are a family connected by blood. Please don't be deceived by a woman!"

Xie Xingyuan sneered and ignored Xie Shaohang. He just walked to Cui Shuyan and said softly, "Shuyan, I will listen to you on how to deal with this matter."

Cui Shuyan nodded: "Although Xie Zheng has been divorced and is no longer a member of the Xie family, she was still a member of the Xie family when she did this. So this matter must be investigated. According to Article 27 of the Xie family rules, anyone who dares to kill a member of the same family will be expelled from the Xie family along with his son, and at the same time, removed from the family tree."

As Cui Shuyan finished speaking, Xie Shaohang's eyes had widened to as big as a cow's.

He stared at Cui Shuyan, his eyes full of unwillingness: "You are going to kill us mother and son!"

After all, even if it is confirmed that it was his mother who did it, as long as he is not implicated, he is still a descendant of the Xie family.

Although his reputation was a bit bad, it didn't have much impact on him.

But if his name is removed from the family tree, he will be completely finished.

Because the imperial court had clearly stipulated that people who were expelled from their family could not take part in the imperial examinations.

This is because those who are expelled from the family are mostly people of despicable character.

If a person with bad character takes the imperial examination and becomes an official, it will be a disaster for the people.

It is precisely because of this that there is such a regulation.

If he was removed from the Xie family's genealogy, he would no longer be able to take the imperial examination.

This also means that he has reached the end of his academic journey.

At the same time, Madam Xie also realized the seriousness of the matter. She struggled to spit out the rag stuffed in her mouth and shouted, "Don't blame my son! I didn't do this! Don't think you can convict me based on a few words from a few insignificant people!"

"So, what if I were to prove it?"

Hearing this cold voice, Madam Xie suddenly turned her head and saw Xie Liang walking slowly from outside.

After not seeing him for many days, Xie Liang had become so thin that his bones were just skin and bones, and he looked completely unrecognizable.

There wasn't much flesh on his face, so his cheekbones looked particularly prominent. Plus, his eyes were gloomy, and there was a hint of viciousness when he looked at people.

At this moment, he looked at Madam Xie, and the anger in his eyes was about to burst out: "Uncle, I can prove that it was my nephew's bedmate who killed my second brother."

Madam Xie's eyes suddenly widened and she shouted, "Xie Liang, are you crazy? Hang'er is your child too!"

She wanted to scold Xie Liang to wake him up and tell him to consider their children.

But Xie Liang only responded to her with a scornful smile.

He waved outside and several people came in.

Chen'er, who was lame, was sent to the farm by Madam Xie.

There are also a few secret guards who have been working secretly for Madam Xie and never show up in public.

They came forward one after another to provide evidence to prove that it was Madam Xie who killed Xie Jing.

Looking at these people opening and closing their mouths, Mrs. Xie was extremely shocked.

These are all her confidants.

But now, they have turned against us.

She asked impatiently: "Whatever benefit Xie Liang gave you, I will give you double! Don't even think about biting me!"

But these people were not moved at all.

Suddenly, Madam Xie seemed to remember something and looked at Xie Liang in horror: "It's you! It's you, right?"

Xie Liang ignored her.

Madam Xie took a step forward and stared into Xie Liang's eyes with a frantic look: "These are all your people. You have been spying on me!"

Xie Liang looked calm and slowly replied, "Yes."

In an instant, Madam Xie's eyes were filled with fear and she couldn't help but step back.

She could never have imagined that the person who schemed against her the most was actually the one sleeping next to her.

She always felt that although Xie Liang had a concubine, at least he would not plot against her.

At least, the calculations won't be too harsh.

But in the end, Xie Liang had been plotting against her from the very beginning.

The close confidants around her actually listened to Xie Liang's words.

These people seemed to obey her on the surface, but in fact, they were Xie Liang's people.

In an instant, Madam Xie felt as if the world was spinning around her.

It was also at this moment that she understood why Xie Liang did this.

Because on the surface, these people are her people.

Then, no matter what these people did, it would be blamed on her in the end.

In fact, what these people really obeyed were Xie Liang's orders.

Xie Liang has been reaping the benefits of others' work.

In other words, Xie Liang was the one who had been hiding in the dark and making plans.

He actually started plotting against her right from the time they got married.

Xie Liang is so vicious!

In a flash, Madam Xie suddenly thought of something and immediately pointed at Xie Liang and said, "My close associates are all your people, so you also agreed to kill Xie Jing. Well, you are full of benevolence and morality, but you dare to kill your own brother. You are the one who should be torn into pieces!"
