Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered

"My dear son-in-law, please don't interfere in the family affairs of our Song Mansion. She is the evildoer who killed her own mother. Is she going to kill another mother?"

Censor Song spoke loudly, without caring at all that this was done in public. He was slandering his daughter's reputation, or in other words, he was changing the subject to cover up his guilty conscience.

Xie Changlin's eyes were cold, the blood in his bones was boiling, and his gaze suddenly became fierce. He stared at Censor Song's eyes, as if he wanted to bite off a piece of his flesh.

Censor Song was frightened by such a look and could not help but take two steps back. His eyes were full of doubt and suspicion, and were full of vigilance.

Xie Changling sneered and said, "Father-in-law, you keep calling me an evil creature. As far as I know, your own father also died when you were born, and your grandmother passed away not long after that."

"Then it seems that your father-in-law himself is the one who brought bad luck to his father and wife, and Xier is also implicated by you. How could you say such a thing to tarnish her reputation?"

"Besides, your second daughter with your stepmother is only a few months younger than Xier. Could it be that they have been having an affair without a matchmaker? This has pissed off my mother-in-law to death!"

"That makes sense. Xi'er is so cute and kind, and she must have been even more lovable when she was young."

"But my father-in-law came up and started to blame me. It didn't seem like he was talking to his own daughter. Instead, he seemed very guilty and short of breath. I can't help but suspect that you also feel guilty about Xier's mother."

"So much so that every time I saw Xi'er, I would unconsciously think of that poor, innocent woman. I hated her so much that I ignored her and abandoned her for more than a decade."

Xie Changling's string of words not only confused Censor Song, but also stunned the crowd of onlookers. They felt like their brains were about to burn and the melons were about to fall to the ground.

"You, you bastard, you are talking nonsense!"

Censor Song was so angry that his ears turned red and his neck became thick. He cursed at him and pointed his finger at Xie Changling, racking his brains to think of some curse words. His fingers were shaking.

At this moment, a weak and old voice came from a simple carriage. Everyone looked over there, curious about who the person was.

"Song Liwen, it's not enough that you killed my sister, do you want to kill my good niece too?"

Song Liwen was exactly the name of Censor Song. When he heard someone dare to call him by his name like that, Censor Song was stunned for a moment, and had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, the next moment, the curtain was lifted, revealing a face that he was all too familiar with. It was——

The widow of the general's mansion, Song Lingxi's aunt!

Song Yushi's pupils shrank slightly, a trace of panic flashed across his face, and his face suddenly turned pale: "You, how are you still alive!"

"Oh, it's strange, isn't it? Back then, you took advantage of my lack of people in the general's mansion and abused my younger sister, causing her baby to almost die in her womb. Are you worthy of being a father?"

The woman finally revealed her true face. She was wearing tattered clothes, looked pale and thin, but her hair was combed meticulously and her eyes were bright and energetic.

After she finished talking to Censor Song, she turned to look at Song Lingxi and waved at her: "Good child, come here and let your aunt take a good look at you."

Song Lingxi was a little confused at first as to why her aunt didn't come over. But when she got closer, she saw her legs in a strange position. Her eyes widened instantly in disbelief.

"Aunt, your legs——"

Song Lingxi covered her mouth, her eyes suddenly turned red. She could see clearly that a normal person's legs could never be twisted like that, so her aunt...

The woman understood her look and nodded to agree with Song Lingxi's guess. However, on such a festive day, she didn't want to let Song Lingxi cry. It would be so heartbreaking to see such a beautiful woman shedding tears.

The woman took her hand and looked at her carefully. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her.

"It's great that my daughter is alive and well, and she's so pretty. Your name is Lingxi, right? If I could see you, her soul in heaven would rest in peace."

"Aunt." Song Lingxi suppressed the sourness in her heart and showed a sweet smile on her face, as if she could melt people's hearts.

"Oh!" The woman's eyes became moist and a smile appeared on her weather-beaten face. It was a genuine smile. The relatives who had been together for so many years finally met each other.

This scene made everyone present feel heartbroken. After all, in that era, transportation was too inconvenient. How many relatives were separated forever and couldn't even see each other for the last time.

Censor Song was not moved at all. Beads of sweat broke out on his forehead, but he didn't dare to wipe it off for fear of being accused of being guilty.

The woman saw Censor Song fidgeting and snorted, remembering the main purpose of her visit.

"Xi'er, your aunt knows how hard it is for you. I wanted to take you away at first, but your cousin is not doing well, and I am afraid I can't support you two."

"But I didn't expect that in the Song Mansion, they would even covet your mother's dowry. This time, my aunt brought the dowry list from the General's Mansion, which was left to me by your grandmother before she passed away."

The woman took out an account book from her bosom, which contained a dowry list. The paper was very old, but the handwriting was clearly visible, and it was obvious that it had been well preserved.

At this time, Xie Changling took Song Lingxi's dowry list from another servant. When he compared the two lists together, he found that more than half of the items were missing, and each item was a priceless treasure.

Xie Changling's eyes were sharp, and he said loudly: "Liu Zhuang, go and report to the police!"

How could Censor Song let him go? He was a censor himself. If someone sued him and the matter was reported to the Emperor, he might be stabbed in the back when he went to court tomorrow.

He could only smile and say: "My dear son-in-law, why report to the government? We are all family, we can discuss things together."

Censor Song had the servant stopped. That old face finally showed its first smile of the day. His complexion was partially blue and partially white, which made him look both funny and amusing.

Song Yushi patted his wife on the shoulder and said, "Madam, as a husband, you have failed to manage the household properly. It must have been missed when sorting out the account books. Now you have not yet completed Xier's dowry for him."

Seeing how his tone changed so quickly, he was speaking in a hasty tone just now, but now he was blaming his wife. Not only Song Lingxi, but all the onlookers were stunned.

Someone started whispering.

"This Censor Song is so irresponsible of a man. When something goes wrong, he always blames his daughter and his wife. I really don't understand how a man like him can be an official."

"Oh my god, this Censor Song is such a wimp. He kneeled down faster than my three-year-old nephew. Hahahaha."

"What a great show, but why isn't there a handful of melon seeds? What a shame!"
