During these days, due to Chao Yunxuan's injury, Xie Xun has been very cautious and dared not to go beyond the line.

At this moment, the beauty took the initiative to throw herself into his arms. He no longer cared about day or night and just enjoyed the tenderness in her arms.

Just as the two were about to spend the night together, the housekeeper's hurried voice broke the warmth: "Sir, it's bad! Madam sent someone to ask Miss Chao to come over! I heard that Madam is furious now."

Xie Xun frowned: "It's only been a few days since everything went quiet, why is mother making a fuss again?"

He looked at Yunxuan worriedly: "Tell her that Yunxuan is not fully recovered yet. If there is anything, we can discuss it after she recovers."

The people serving as guards in the mansion obviously did not dare to disobey Xie Xun's authority in the slightest. They could only obey orders and retreat, then report to the old lady.

The old lady was furious, her breath trembling, "What a rebellious son! This rebellious son! I want to personally witness how long he will protect that woman!"

She stood up angrily: "Let's go and check it out!"

Gu Zhiyi hurriedly reached out and gently patted the old lady's back, trying to calm her down: "Mother, please calm down, calm down..."

The old lady held her hand tightly, her tone revealing disappointment: "You are just too gentle. That woman has already provoked you recklessly, but you have no anger at all."

"I know you have concerns and are afraid of Xie Xun, but I don't have to. I want to see for myself whether he is really willing to disregard the family rules for that woman!"

Gu Zhiyi thought to herself that she was not really afraid of Xie Xun, but she just didn't have much anger.

If Chao Yunxuan hadn't provoked her again and again, she would even be happy to see the sweetness between the two of them.

Soon, the group arrived at their destination.

At this time, Xie Xun and Chao Yunxuan were already dressed.

Even though they were boiling with rage, the old lady had just sent people to cause trouble, so no matter how turbulent their hearts were, they had to suppress it temporarily.

Seeing the old lady coming in person, Xie Xun seemed a little unhappy: "Mother, why are you looking for trouble with Yunxuan again? She has been behaving very well recently, and her body has just recovered. Can you please stop targeting her all the time?"

He glanced at Gu Zhiyi with dissatisfaction again: "Mother is old and in poor health. She shouldn't get angry so often. Why don't you persuade her?"

Gu Zhiyi was accused without reason, but she did not show any anger. Instead, a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.

Once this person faced Chao Yunxuan, he seemed to throw all his reason and common sense out the window.

Can love really make people so stupid?

It's worrying.

It seems that her choice to focus on the Tao was a wise one.

"Since you know that your mother shouldn't get angry, why do you deliberately provoke her?"

Facing his own rebuttal, Xie Xun was speechless for a moment: "I didn't, I just don't want to cause any more trouble in the mansion. Why can't you be like your mother and not make trouble unreasonably?"

If those guards came with a friendly attitude, he would naturally be more than happy.

After all, what he had always dreamed of was that the old lady and Chao Yunxuan could live in harmony.

But those guards obviously had bad intentions, and he would be a fool to let Chao Yunxuan, who had just recovered from an illness, take risks.

The old lady was shaking with anger: "How dare you say that I am being unreasonable?!"

Gu Zhiyi asked sarcastically, "You said Miss Chao is still sick?"

Xie Xun felt a little uneasy.

In fact, Chao Yunxuan was already able to get out of bed and move around, and they almost had a passionate outburst just now.

But once a lie is out, it must be covered up with more lies. He can only bite the bullet and answer: "Yes, the doctor said she is still very weak."

He was thinking in his mind that if the old lady or Gu Zhiyi wanted to ask a doctor for a diagnosis, he would try to stop them and would never let this lie be exposed.

However, he did not notice that Chao Yunxuan's expression was a little unnatural.

The old lady pointed at Xie Xun angrily, her body shaking with anger: "Xie Xun, have you read all those sage books? For a woman, you dare to deceive your own mother!"

Xie Xun was shocked: "I..."

Gu Zhiyi interrupted him: "Sir, go see someone first, then explain."

As she finished her words, Gu Zhiping was pushed out.

In just a moment, Gu Zhiping's face had swollen even more severely, and her original appearance was almost unrecognizable.

Xie Xun didn't recognize her for a moment: "Who is this?"

Gu Zhiyi looked at Gu Zhiping coldly: "Let her speak for herself."

Gu Zhiping was beaten for nothing and was filled with anger. She was worried that she had no place to vent her anger. Now she finally had the chance and she spoke without hesitation.

At this critical moment, Gu Zhiyi offered her a helping hand and provided her with a golden opportunity. How could she let it go so easily? She immediately looked at Xie Xun with a face full of grievance and resentment, crying with tears in her eyes and asking for help: "Sir, I am Zhiping."

"Just when I was quietly immersed in books and practicing calligraphy, Miss Chao suddenly appeared and dealt me ​​a ruthless blow."

"She confidently declared that the young master was hers alone and would never allow anyone to compete with her. Anyone who angered her would end up like me..."

What she said was not pure fiction. After all, if Chao Yunxuan's words were slightly changed, their meaning was roughly the same.

Xie Xun subconsciously denied it: "That's impossible! Although Yunxuan is a skilled martial artist, she is always calm and composed. She won't cause trouble without reason, and she won't hit anyone at will."

Gu Zhiyi turned her gaze to Chao Yunxuan: "Miss Chao, I heard that you are always brave enough to take responsibility. You should not shirk your responsibility this time, right?"

Chao Yunxuan smiled proudly: "She dared to snatch my lover, why can't I teach her a lesson?"

"I only made her face swollen because I took into consideration the reputation of the Ningguo Mansion. If it weren't for this relationship, she would have suffered much more than this just because she was a servant of your family."

Chao Yunxuan admitted it frankly. To her, all this was natural.

Xie Xun was confused and full of doubts. He didn't understand why things turned into such a serious situation just when he was taking a short nap?

She actually had the audacity to use violence against the people in the mansion!

If she was the owner of the mansion, there would be nothing wrong with that, but that is not the case!

Isn't what she did the same as wantonly throwing feces on Gu Zhiyi and his mother's heads? !

Moreover, he just lied for her, but she just watched coldly without any intention of reminding him?

His expression was unpredictable, as if he had been slapped hard in the face, hot and painful, extremely uncomfortable.

Gu Zhiyi asked coldly: "Master Xie, do you know why mother is so angry?"

Xie Xun closed his eyes, hesitating to speak: "I..."

Gu Zhiyi interrupted him impatiently. Since he already knew the whole story, he started to speak directly: "Excuse me, sir, you are so obsessed with beauty. Even if you are lucky enough to pass the imperial examination in the future, you will definitely become a foolish official."

"Outsiders may not understand a mother's gentleness and generosity, but don't you, her biological son, understand it too?"

"If Miss Chao hadn't made a mistake, why would mother be so furious?"
