The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 33: Xu Liu's Housekeeping Rights Were Taken Away

The dinner was supposed to be harmonious on the surface, but Liu Ning'er's sudden disturbance ruined the atmosphere completely.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Nanny Ping quickly called in the maid and wanted to take her out.

"Master, save me! Madam wants to kill me to silence me! Everything that happened in Shaohua Temple was done by her orders!" Liu Ning'er clung to Xu Chaoqian regardless, crying miserably.

Xu Liu suddenly stood up and wanted to curse.

Xu Rongrong, who was sitting next to her, was the first to speak. She covered her chest with a handkerchief, looking weak and frail, as if she had been extremely frightened.

"You...if you have something to say, please say it nicely. How can you behave like this?"

"Besides, Madam has always treated you well. You clearly caused the scandal at Shaohua Temple yourself, so why are you tying Madam to this?"

After Xu Rongrong finished speaking, Xu Liu gave her a sidelong glance and sat back down.

However, Liu Ning'er took the opportunity to say, "Miss, I am innocent! Do you know that Madam originally wanted to order me to harm you?"

"How dare you!" Nanny Ping scolded from the side, "You little slave girl, you dare to gossip in front of the master and the mistress."

After saying that, she was about to step forward to stop him from talking and drag him away.

Although Xu Chaoqian looked embarrassed, he didn't want to say much.

Xu Rongrong sneered inwardly, but she stood up and blocked Liu Ning'er's way, timidly looking at Madam Ping. "I don't even know what the rules are in the mansion these days. All the masters of the mansion are here, but does Madam Ping need to be in charge?"

Xu Chaoqian was utterly ashamed. His eldest daughter had actually been frightened by a servant in the mansion. He shouted angrily, "Old man, back off!"

Matron Ping stepped aside awkwardly. Xu Rongrong looked at Xu Chaoqian again with an earnest gaze. "This matter has inexplicably implicated me, and I want to hear the truth. Father is wise. If Liu Ning'er is truly lying, it won't be too late to punish her later."

Xu Liu sneered at the side, "You speak so nicely, but are you going to let such a gossipy servant frame the mistress?"

Xu Rongrong wouldn't back down, but pretending to be pitiful was exhausting. She let out a long sigh and said, "Whether it's a frame-up or not is up to my father to decide. Madam is trying to stop me. Could it be that...what Liu Ning'er just said is true?"

"you……"

"Enough!" Xu Chaoqian was furious. He glared at Xu Rongrong, then remembered the Marquis of Weiyuan behind her and retracted his gaze. He glared at Xu Liushi again, "You are upright and have nothing to fear. Are you afraid that your husband can't make the decision for you?"

"What I've said is the truth! I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of being tortured to death!" Liu Ning'er's eyes were red, and she screamed desperately to survive. "Tell me the truth!" Xu Chaoqian sat up straight again, as if he was about to question the case.

"Ever since the eldest daughter was betrothed to Marquis Weiyuan, Madam has harbored a grudge and is determined to sabotage the marriage!"

"Madam knows that if the eldest daughter's marriage to Marquis Weiyuan is really ruined, you, Master, will definitely not allow it. That's why you colluded with the wife of Marquis Changxing."

"The Crown Prince of Changxing Marquis has long coveted the eldest lady, but due to the marriage granted by His Majesty, he has been afraid to act. Madam Changxing Marquis' wife suggested that the Crown Prince and the eldest lady be fait accompli. Once the marriage is complete, it can be said that it was the eldest lady who initiated the seduction. This way, the eldest lady will definitely not be able to marry the Marquis of Weiyuan. Furthermore, the Marquis of Changxing's mansion is a high-ranking marquis, so you, Master, will go along with it."

"Bullshit!" Xu Chaoqian blushed and glanced at Xu Rongrong with embarrassment. Seeing that she didn't think much of it, he felt a little relieved.

Liu Ning'er continued, "So, Madam took advantage of the opportunity to pray at Shaohua Temple and arranged with the wife of the Marquis of Changxing to have her take the young master up the mountain and hide him in a side room. Madam then pretended to have a headache and had a servant send the young lady's maid down the mountain to fetch medicine. Then, she tricked the young lady into the side room and let the young master abuse her. After the deed was done, the other ladies discovered the whole thing."

"Firstly, it can destroy the young lady's innocence and reputation. Secondly, with so many people testifying, the lady won't arouse the master's suspicion. Thirdly, it will definitely ruin the young lady's marriage to Marquis Weiyuan."

"But unexpectedly, something went wrong... The Changxing Marquis's son was so lustful that he mistook me for the eldest daughter and abused me like this..."

"After the incident, Madam put all the blame on me. Now that the Changxing Marquis's Mansion has been destroyed, Madam wants to silence me. Please, Master and Miss, save me!"

After she finished speaking in one breath, she once again tightly clasped Xu Chaoqian's legs.

"Pah!" Xu Chaoqian hurled the wine cup at Xu Liushi. Unable to react, blood instantly erupted from her forehead. Xu Liushi cried out in pain, clutching her forehead with a look of disbelief.

"You...you actually hurt me because of a few lies told by this bitch?"

"I'm not so stupid that I can't tell the truth from the false!" Xu Chaoqian roared.

He pointed at Xu Liushi, trembling uncontrollably: "You bastard, you're actually dragging the entire Marquisate down with you just for your little trick!"

"Do you know that Wu Ping was so absurd that he caused so many deaths and even led to the Marquis of Changxing being stripped of his title and exiled? You actually want to marry into such a family?"

"You actually don't believe me." Xu Liu was furious, pointing at Xu Chaoqian and cursing, "For all these years, I've been diligently managing the inner chambers for you, Mr. Xu. How have I ever wronged you? And yet you, instigated by a few words from this lowly maid, actually dared to attack me!"

"Madam, you're wrong." Xu Rongrong stood behind Xu Chaoqian. "Without my father's hard work, how could you manage the harem with peace of mind? Liu Ning'er is a family child, and you, Madam, have always trusted her the most. Now that she's come forward to complain, if you think she's talking nonsense, feel free to refute her truthfully. Why take your anger out on my father?"

Her casual words straightened Xu Chaoqian's somewhat weak back.

Yes! He was the head of the Xu family, and he had to obey him when it came to beatings and scoldings. This Xu Liu actually dared to point at his nose and scold him. It really didn't matter.

He stood up and kicked Xu Liushi down. "Liu Ning'er is the one closest to you. Now that she has come forward to accuse you, what do you say?"

Xu Liu was already feeling dizzy from the headache, and then she was hit in the stomach by a kick, and she collapsed to the ground.

Xu Yaoyao rushed over and supported her.

But Xu Chaoqian's anger remained. "If things really went as you wished, and Marquis Weiyuan had her engagement canceled, I'm afraid the Changxing Marquisate would have been wiped out before she even entered! I gave up such a good marriage with General Mu for that ugly bastard. If this story of throwing away watermelons for sesame seeds gets out, how can I, your husband, hold my head up high in the capital from now on?"

After cursing, he spat again: "Foolish thing! Now everyone in the capital is staring at Wu Jiang and Wu Ping mother and son, eager to dig up some more fun to watch. And you, on the other hand, actually took the initiative to get involved with those lowly people to plot against your own family!"

"I didn't!" Xu Liu covered her heart and wailed!

"I don't care whether you have it or not!" Xu Chaoqian roared back, "From today on, you stay in Rong'an Courtyard and don't come out unless necessary! Give the housekeeping key to Rong Jie'er, and she will be the housekeeper from now on!"

"You actually want to take away my power as housekeeper, Xu Chaoqian, you heartless man..." Xu Liu was already so angry that she couldn't get up anymore.

Xu Rongrong thought to herself: Do you only now realize that he has no heart?

But her face regained that indecisive expression, and she continued to exaggerate: "But...but my daughter has never learned how to manage a household...household affairs are still handled by Madam..."

"From now on, it's up to you!" Xu Chaoqian was even more furious when he heard this. A sixteen-year-old girl wasn't even qualified to manage a household. The actions of someone like Xu Liu would surely bring ruin to the entire Xu family. His mind became even more resolute. "You'll be in charge of a marquisate in the future, so it's time to learn how to manage a household! Don't worry, I have your father's support, so feel free to do it."

Xu Rongrong refused again and again, but finally agreed reluctantly.

Xu Liushi still didn't understand anything at this moment. She pointed at Xu Rongrong, her hands shaking: "It's you...it's you who hurt me..."

Xu Chaoqian kicked him again. "It's already late, and you're still biting me! Drag him back to Rong'an Courtyard!"

Xu Liu's face turned blue, she couldn't catch her breath, and fainted.

The main courtyard was in turmoil. Xu Yaoyao was crying breathlessly. Xu Chaoqian himself was a little panicked and repeatedly ordered Ping Ma to go to the clinic to get help. Xu Rongrong looked on coldly for a while, then took the housekeeper's key and left.

As he raised his foot, he glanced calmly at Liu Ning'er who was still kneeling beside him. The latter understood and followed quietly.
