Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Under An's cold questioning, Xie Tingxuan's eyes dodged, and the tips of his ears turned slightly red. After hesitating for a long time, he said hesitantly, "Yes, Hong'er just came to me and told me that."

An's brows furrowed. She looked at Xie Tingxuan suspiciously and asked coldly, "Hong'er, who is Hong'er?"

Xie Tingxuan's face flushed red, and he lowered his eyes and said shyly, "It's Xiaohong, the second-class maid in my sister's courtyard. She is Granny Ma's granddaughter. She just asked me to plead for her grandmother and father."

Mrs. Xie's face suddenly turned so gloomy that water could drip out of it. She hated it most that the young men in her family got involved with the maids in the courtyard.

Therefore, Xie Tingxuan employed only servants in his yard, but no one expected that he would go to Xie Qingqi's yard to find a maid!

Madam Xie pushed Xie Tingxuan in her arms and said sternly, "Kneel down!"

Xie Tingxuan was a little confused, but when he turned around and saw Madam Xie's frighteningly gloomy face, he quickly knelt down in front of Madam Xie.

Madam Xie said coldly, "How did you know each other? What did you do? Tell me the truth!"

Xie Tingxuan seemed to have thought of something, his cheeks flushed. He did not answer Mrs. Xie's question, but stiffened his neck and said, "Grandma, Xuan'er wants to raise her as his concubine!"

Old Madam Xie was so angry that her hands were shaking and her chest was heaving. She picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it hard at Xie Tingxuan.

An's eyes widened in shock, and she flew over at full speed, blocking Xie Tingxuan. She looked up at Old Madam Xie and choked out, "Mother-in-law, it must be that vixen who seduced Xuan'er. Xuan'er is such a good child, but she has corrupted him!"

She shouted to the maids standing beside her, "Hurry, send two people to bring that vixen here!" Immediately, two maids took the order and left.

Xie Tingxuan pushed An away, stretched out his hands to block the two maids' way, and said angrily: "Stop for me, young master!"

He turned to look at An and said coldly, "Mother, don't call her a vixen. She didn't seduce Xuan'er. It was Xuan'er who happened to meet her in my sister's yard one time. Xuan'er liked her, and later it was Xuan'er who forced her. None of this has anything to do with her!"

An's eyes were bloodshot, thinking to herself that her stupid son was sold and still helped others count the money. How could such a greedy father and grandmother raise a good person?

Old Madam Xie's eyes were filled with chilling coldness. She said to the two maids, "Go and get them!" Then she turned and ordered Madam Xu, "Go and call the Marquis and the Second Master."

The two maids nimbly walked around Xie Tingxuan and ran out quickly.

Xie Tingxuan was furious. He ran after him, but after only two steps, he suddenly hugged his right foot and sat on the ground, wailing, "Ah, my foot, grandma, mother, Xuan'er's foot hurts! Ah!"

Old Madam Xie looked at Xie Tingxuan coldly, no longer believing his lies. Mrs. An also looked suspicious and did not make any move.

Xie Jingyuan and Xie Jingliang met at the gate of Songhe Hall. The moment their eyes met, they both turned their heads away tacitly, and neither of them was too embarrassed to speak first.

Xie Jingliang took two quick steps and entered Songhe Hall first. Seeing Xie Tingxuan sitting on the ground wailing, he anxiously asked, "Xuan'er, your feet are starting to hurt again?"

Old Madam Xie snorted coldly: "Jingliang, don't be fooled by him, he is pretending!" Xie Jingliang looked at Old Madam Xie in shock. Has his mother completely sided with his eldest brother?

Xie Jingyuan was stunned when he saw people kneeling on the floor and piles of account books. He asked softly, "Mother, what are you doing? Are you checking the accounts?"

Old Madam Xie recounted in a deep voice the good deeds done by Granny Ma and her son. Xie Jingyuan and Xie Jingliang were both shocked. How much was their annual salary? How dare two little servants be so bold and greedy?

Just at this moment, the two maids came in carrying Xiaohong. Although Xiaohong was not very old, she had white teeth, a waist as thin as a willow, and a face like a lotus, and her whole body exuded a charming charm.

The women in the room suddenly understood what was going on. No wonder Xie Tingxuan was so obsessed with her.

When Xie Tingxuan saw Xiaohong, he ignored the pain in his feet and rushed over to hug Xiaohong, saying softly, "Hong'er, did they bully you?"

Xiaohong's eyes were filled with tears, which made her look adorable. She shook her head slightly at Xie Tingxuan. When she turned to look at her grandmother lying on the ground and her father who was tied up, tears suddenly rolled down her face and she cried sadly.

Xie Tingxuan's heart was about to break. He knelt before Xie Jingliang and begged, "Father, Hong'er is already Xuan'er's. Xuan'er wants to raise her as his concubine. Please let her grandmother and father go."

Xie Jingliang's eyes widened in anger, his face turning pale. Although he hadn't fully grasped the situation, his son, whom he had high hopes for, was still so young and hadn't learned his lesson, actually playing with women! It was fine if he wasn't as good as Xie Jingyuan, but was his son also going to be outshined by Xie Jingyuan's son?

He raised his hand high and slapped Xie Tingxuan hard in the face. A big palm print appeared on Xie Tingxuan's fair face in an instant!

But Xie Jingliang still felt unsatisfied. He looked around with a ferocious face and bloodshot eyes, picked up the feather duster on the table and swung it at Xie Tingxuan. Xie Tingxuan was beaten so hard that he screamed and fled everywhere.

Xuan'er would definitely be beaten badly with this kind of beating. Old Madam Xie and Mrs. An both gasped and reached out to stop him, but Xiaohong took the lead to protect Xie Tingxuan and used her own body to take the beating from Xie Jingliang.

The scene suddenly became chaotic. Xie Qingli, sitting in the corner, was dazzled. She wanted to applaud this group of people. It was so exciting!

Xie Tingxuan was so moved by Xiaohong that he struggled desperately to break free from Xiaohong's arms, and then held Xiaohong tightly in his arms. The two of them were like a pair of star-crossed mandarin ducks that were not tolerated by the world!

But such an action further irritated Xie Jingliang. He gnashed his teeth in hatred. Xie Tingyu fought bravely against the enemy at the border and accumulated merits, while his son was indulging in the gentle arms of a woman and couldn't extricate himself. It was a world of difference!

He swung the feather duster even harder, but accidentally hit Old Madam Xie. Old Madam Xie lost her balance and stumbled backwards.

Xie Jingyuan's heart was beating in his throat. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Madam Xie, and helped her onto the couch.

Madam Xie's heart palpitated. She could no longer bear such a chaotic scene and shouted angrily, "Stop it!"

Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and looked at Madam Xie.

Madam Xie said in a deep voice, "There's irrefutable evidence that Granny Ma and her son embezzled the Marquis's money. Xiaohong seduced Xuan'er. This entire family will be beaten with the cane thirty times and then sold. Their property will be confiscated!"

"The An family is not a good steward of the household and has appointed people based on personal connections, causing serious losses. I will temporarily take back the management of the Marquisate and ask you to reflect on your mistakes for a month."

"Xuan'er, stop pretending your feet hurt and go back to the academy to study immediately..."
