The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

Xu Keke didn't open her eyes.

Instead, he pretended to have a nightmare while asleep and made sounds in his sleep.

"Cousin, no, don't push Keke downstairs, Keke is so scared!"

Xu Keke actually didn’t know whether it was Xu Yuanyuan who pushed her down the stairs, but this didn’t affect her framing Xu Yuanyuan.

In short, in the original owner's memory, the first wife of the Xu family was not a good person. Xu Keke wanted to make the second wife be on guard and stop being so foolish as to support the first wife.

Sure enough, Xu Xie was shocked when she heard this and looked at Nanny Ding.

He gently patted the quilt for Xu Keke and coaxed her in a low voice.

"Don't be afraid, dear girl. Mother is with you. Don't be afraid!"

Xu Keke felt Xu Xie's deep maternal love, turned over, faced the wall, and eavesdropped with her ears.

After a while, I heard the second lady whispering instructions to Dingdang.

"Ding Dang, keep an eye on the young lady. Let's go to Ruyi Teahouse and inquire carefully. Even if we can't find any evidence, we have to be careful about the wishes made by the eldest wife in the future."

"Don't worry, Madam. This servant will keep an eye on the young lady."

Then came the footsteps of Second Madam, Madam Ding, and the others as they left.

Xu Keke was really sleepy and muttered to herself.

Get some sleep and wake up to a new beginning!

I will accept and return the love of the original owner's parents!

But I won't make the same mistake and marry a domestic abuser.

The original owner has left, and now this is my life, and I am the master of my own life!

……

Xu Linyun and Xu Xie returned to the Xu Mansion with a group of servants, both of them with sad faces.

They had just gone to Ruyi Teahouse to investigate the situation carefully, and only then did they realize that their daughter had seriously offended the powerful regent of the dynasty this time.

Teahouse Servant A: "The Second Miss descended from the sky and pulled His Royal Highness off his horse."

Teahouse Servant B: "The Second Miss is rolling on the ground with His Highness in her arms."

Teahouse Waiter C: "Second Miss, ride on His Highness's waist and gaze upon his unrivaled handsome face."

Ding, the teahouse waiter: "The Second Miss even kissed the Regent's handsome face."

According to Shopkeeper Fu.

There was no trace of anything in the tea room on the third floor. The banana peel he provided to the Regent was the peel left over from the banana he had just eaten. When he saw the second lady was about to be taken away, he used it in a hurry to exonerate the second lady.

As for the eldest wife's wish, people said that she went to watch the parade of the top scholar and returned to the Xu Mansion after watching it. Now she is probably going to complain to the old lady.

As soon as the group stepped into the mansion, the old nanny who served the old lady came to greet them.

"Second Master, Second Madam, the old lady invites you to go to the Cixiangyuan."

Xu Linyun and Xu Xie looked at each other. It must be Xu Yuanyuan from the eldest wife who told the old lady.

They received the news from Manager Fu today and rushed to the Ministry of Justice's prison without stopping, without letting the news leak out at all.

When we arrived at Cixiangyuan, we saw the old lady of the Xu family, dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes and with pearls and jade on her head, sitting solemnly on the large main couch.

The master couch was covered with a complete tiger skin.

Sitting next to the old lady was the eldest lady of the mansion. She was wearing a dark green long dress with a collar inlaid with tiny pearls and decorated with golden silk edges.

On the other side was the young and beautiful Xu Yuanyuan, whose shoulders were being massaged by the old lady.

"The daughter-in-law has met her mother."

Xu Xie bowed slightly.

Xu Linyun didn't care about so many etiquettes. They were family and saw each other every day, so there was no need for so many false formalities.

"Mother, is there something wrong with calling your son here?"

The old lady snorted coldly before speaking and twirled the rosary in her hand.

"Yun'er, Mrs. Xie is not a good parent. The second daughter has offended the regent. To avoid implicating the entire Xu family, you should divorce them both!"

Xu Linyun looked at the old lady in astonishment, wondering what was wrong with his mother to make her say such heartless words.

"Mother, you know that Keke isn't very smart. She didn't mean to offend the Regent this time. How can you blame her so carelessly?"

The old lady slammed the rosary in her hand on the table and shouted angrily.

"You're confused! He's the Prince Regent, can we just bump into him? If this matter can't be explained, the entire Xu family will suffer!"

Xu Linyun blushed and argued:

"Mother, even if this is the case, you cannot divorce your wife and daughter. This is not what a real man should do!"

The eldest lady spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Second brother, this is also for the future of the Xu family. If you don't divorce them, the Xu family will really be finished."

Xu Yuanyuan followed along weakly from the side.

"Uncle, Grandmother is doing this for the good of our Xu family. My second sister has caused such a disaster, and we can't let the whole family be implicated."

Xu Xie's eyes were red as she looked at these people who kept saying they were afraid of being implicated.

And all the furniture in this room, the clothes and jewelry they wear, all of them are from the shop under her name.

Everyday people eat her food and use her things as if it is their right.

When the incident happened, they did not think about working together, and did not even ask about the second girl's situation in prison. They just wanted to kick the mother and daughter out.

Xu Xie's voice trembled with anger.

"Mother, since I married into the Xu family, I have always done my best to manage the household chores and have never made any mistakes. Keke is also your granddaughter. How can you be so cruel?"

The old lady's eyes were sharp. She felt her dignity was damaged when a merchant girl dared to talk back to her. She didn't even look at Xu Xieshi.

"No need to say more! Yun'er, if you don't divorce them today, don't blame me for not recognizing you as my son!"

Xu Linyun gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Mother, if you force me to choose between the Xu family and my wife and children, I would rather take them away from the Xu family!"

The old lady was so angry that she was shaking all over.

"You...you rebellious son! Are you sane or not? Are you as stupid as your second daughter?

Do you think your silly daughter only offended the Regent? She also offended the Queen Mother.

Tell me, your silly daughter has offended two supreme royals at once. If you keep her, won't our Xu family be at risk of being controlled at any time?"

Xu Linyun was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to understand what his mother meant, and then he argued with her.

"Mother, you are a noble lady after all. How can you take these groundless rumors seriously? You say we are not good at raising our daughter. I want to remind you to be careful with your words."

After saying that, he stood up from the ground, pulled Xu Xie and left the main hall of Cixiangyuan.

The old lady looked at their backs without turning back and stamped her feet in anger.

"What a rebellion! This unfilial son has really forgotten his mother after marrying a wife. I am doing this for the good of the entire Xu family.

You should know that the Regent Prince has a close relationship with the Queen Mother. His silly daughter rolled on the ground hugging the Regent Prince and even flirted with His Royal Highness the Prince.

If the Queen Mother hears about this, she might let that silly girl go, but she won't attack her directly. She'll go after our Xu family first!"

The eldest lady was also fanning the flames, whispering in a reserved manner.

"Mother, what you said makes sense. Although rumors in the market should not be trusted, the relationship between the Regent and the current Empress Dowager is indeed extraordinary. I heard that the Regent even has his own bedroom in the Imperial Palace!"

Xu Yuanyuan blinked his big eyes and was confused.

Today she saw the Regent with her own eyes. Unexpectedly, from a close distance, the Regent was so aloof and noble, and his figure and appearance were in no way inferior to the top scholar Shen Qingfeng.

In his previous life, this regent died young on the day when the top scholar was paraded through the streets. Isn’t that today?

Why hasn't there been any news yet about the assassination of the Regent?
