Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy
Chapter 148 Feng Fuliu's Secret Meeting
Mrs. Xie said only a few words, but they were as powerful as a thousand pounds. She made a decision in an instant, and all the disputes were settled.
She waved her hand, and the group of people kneeling on the ground retreated.
An was suddenly deprived of her power as head of the household, and she was quite dissatisfied, but she did not dare to contradict Old Madam Xie, so she quietly reached out and poked Xie Jingliang.
Xie Jingliang and An had been married for many years and had a tacit understanding. He naturally understood An's intentions. He knew better than anyone how much the second branch had benefited from An's years in charge of the family. He didn't want to lose the power of the family even more than An did. So he put on a smile and begged, "Mother, please forgive me..."
But before Xie Jingliang could finish his words, Xie Tingxuan suddenly got up from the ground, looked at everyone with blazing eyes, and said angrily: "You all don't believe me, you just think I'm pretending to be sick; and I like Hong'er so much, and you want to sell her."
"I don't want to stay with such a heartless and cold family. Today, I, Xie Tingxuan, will sever all ties with you!"
He pulled Xiaohong up and said coldly, "Hong'er, let's go! We can live well without relying on these heartless people. I will earn money to support you and will definitely let you live a rich and prosperous life!"
Xie Tingxuan's words were like a thunderclap, striking everyone's head, and everyone was stunned!
Xie Jingliang was the first to react. He quickly stepped forward to stop Xie Tingxuan, punched him hard, knocked him to the ground, and kicked him again, shouting angrily: "Today I will beat you to death, you rebellious son!"
An's expression suddenly changed, and she hurriedly ordered, "Come quickly and send the young master back!"
Several strong maids in the room hurried forward, carried Xie Tingxuan and walked out. The maids were very strong, and Xie Tingxuan was like a chick held in the claws of an eagle, struggling desperately but in vain.
He shouted angrily: "Let me go, you stubborn slaves, let me go! Otherwise, I will make you pay!" But the old women were unmoved and walked out at full speed.
As he was about to leave Songhe Hall, Xie Tingyu tilted his head and shouted into the house, "Hong'er, Hong'er, wait for me..."
Xie Tingxuan's voice became increasingly distant until it could no longer be heard. Xiaohong knelt on the ground, trembling. Her face was pale, and drops of cold sweat rolled down her forehead.
Old Madam Xie looked coldly at the scheming and seductive maid, and said in a cold voice: "Sell her far away, to a place where Xuan'er can't find her!" An bowed and accepted the order.
Old Madam Xie looked at Xie Jingyuan and Xie Jingliang coldly and said in a deep voice, "As the saying goes, 'brothers united are stronger than iron.' You two have supported each other for so many years, and that is why our Xie family has achieved what it has today."
"But now you've become enemies because of a little friction, and the brothers are constantly scheming against each other. This family will fall apart sooner or later. It's better to separate now!"
Split up?
Xie Jingyuan knew that Madam Xie was speaking in anger, but he did not think he was wrong. This mansion was his, and whether it was divided or not did not affect him much. Therefore, he lowered his head slightly and said nothing.
Xie Jingliang and An Shi were feeling nervous. They were now living in the Marquis' Mansion. If anyone could tell others that they were members of the Marquis' Mansion, Xie Jingliang was only a sixth-rank official. If the family was divided, they would have to move out. Who would then recognize them?
Thinking of this, Xie Jingliang hurriedly pulled An to kneel in front of Old Madam Xie and whispered, "Mother, I was wrong about what happened last night. I was too spoiled with Xuan'er. I will definitely discipline him strictly from now on."
He turned to Xie Jingyuan again and pleaded, "Brother, I was wrong. Please forgive me!"
Xie Jingliang offered the way, and Xie Jingyuan didn't dare to hold back any longer, so he quickly got off. He helped Xie Jingliang up and said gently, "Second brother, please get up quickly. Big brother is also wrong. We two brothers must work together to ensure the prosperity of the Xie family."
Seeing that the two had reconciled, Mrs. Xie nodded with satisfaction and no longer mentioned dividing the family.
Xie Jingliang and An Shi no longer dared to mention the issue of managing the family power. They were worried about Xie Tingxuan and were afraid that Old Madam Xie would bring up dividing the family again, so they hurriedly took their leave.
Seeing that the main characters had left and there was no more fun to watch, Xie Qingli stood up slowly, bowed slightly to Old Madam Xie and Xie Jingyuan, and said softly, "Grandma, Father, Li'er is taking his leave too!"
Xie Jingyuan then noticed that Xie Qingli was also in the room, and asked coldly, "Why are you here?"
Looking at the well-behaved and gentle Xie Qingli, Aunt Xu's eyes rolled. Everything that happened today seemed to be going smoothly, but she knew that the eldest lady who kept a low profile must have done something behind her back.
Remembering her promise to Xie Qingli, Nanny Xu hesitated for a moment and quickly replied, "My Lord, the reason Granny Ma's embezzlement was exposed today was entirely thanks to the young lady's discovery of the clues."
She turned to look at Old Madam Xie and whispered, "Old Madam, the reason why Granny Ma dared to insult the young lady and beat up her maid is because the young lady has no share, and these servants..."
Old Madam Xie glanced at Madam Xu suspiciously, but secretly hated An for being so short-sighted and petty.
She said in a cold voice, "Li'er, don't feel wronged. From today on, the mansion will have Li'er's share. Since Li'er belongs to the Marquis' Mansion, she will naturally be raised by the Marquis' Mansion. If you tell others that she is supported by her mother's dowry, I'm afraid people will laugh at her. Li'er, don't mention it again!"
Although Madam Xie's words were sarcastic, Xie Qingli was not angry. She showed a bright smile and said softly, "Li'er thanks grandma and father!" She nodded secretly to Aunt Xu.
After walking out of Songhe Hall, Xie Qingli stretched her body. After watching such a wonderful show, she was in a very happy mood.
Chunya approached Xie Qingli and asked in confusion, "Miss, the Marquis and the Second Master had such a fight last night, and now they've reconciled?"
Xie Qingli shook his head slightly, curled his lips and said, "A broken mirror is hard to mend, a broken hairpin is hard to put together. They were just forced together by grandma!"
Leng Shuang looked around to confirm that no one was around before leaning close to Xie Qingli's ear and whispering, "Miss, we have some clues about the matter you asked me to investigate. Yesterday, the Marquis left Miaoxin Hall and became exhausted halfway through the journey, so he accidentally fell."
"A carriage happened to be passing by at the time. It stopped and asked the Marquis to get in. But halfway through the journey, the carriage suddenly turned around and headed towards Feng Fu Liu."
"The Marquis and the woman in the carriage stayed in Fengfuliu for over an hour before they came out. When he came out, the Marquis had changed his clothes. This time, the carriage took him directly back to the Marquis' Mansion."
Xie Qingli asked doubtfully, "Where is Feng Fu Liu?"
Leng Shuang's face froze slightly as she explained in a low voice, "Feng Fu Liu is a place for people to have fun. It's very large, with singers and dancers, as well as prostitutes and waiters. You can eat and drink tea, recite poems and write essays, and both men and women can go there to have fun..."
