After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Seeing that he remained silent, Zheng thought he had softened his heart. She wiped her tears, pulled Xu Rui's sleeve and said, "What happened in the past is in the past. Jiang Xiyu is fine now, and we have all been punished. Can you please let Rong'er go and don't push her into the fire pit?"

Xu Rui could no longer suppress the anger he had been suppressing.

"You keep saying that I pushed her into the fire pit, but what does her affair with Zhou Lai have to do with me? It's only natural for her to marry Zhou Lai."

Zheng was choked by his words, and after a while she spoke cautiously, "But Zhou Lai is now a useless man, and it's not appropriate for Rong'er to marry him. Why don't we send Rong'er out of Kyoto, and wait for a while until the storm has died down, and then we can find a new family for Rong'er, okay?"

Xu Rui snorted sarcastically.

"Xu Rong is very ambitious. She wants to enter the palace as a concubine, or even become the empress. Do you think she would look down on this ordinary family?"

Because he knew Xu Rong too well, he compromised with Zhou Lai. Only by sending Xu Rong to the Zhou family could he stop her from having such inappropriate thoughts.

Zheng knew that Xu Rui hated the idea of ​​letting Xu Rong enter the palace, but for the sake of her poor children, Zheng still said, "Rui'er, it's not a bad thing for Rong'er to enter the palace. Just help her. She said that even if she doesn't want to be a concubine, she can enter the palace as a maid first. Just help her."

"Mother." It would have been fine if Zheng hadn't mentioned this. But as soon as he did, Xu Rui suddenly stood up from his chair, looked at her in disbelief, and angrily said, "Xu Rong is confused, but are you confused too? I've worked so hard over the years to gain a foothold by His Majesty's side and restore the glory of our Yonglin Marquisate. Do you really want to destroy it all?"

Zheng was startled by Xu Rui and stammered, "It's not as serious as you say. Rong'er is smart. She will definitely not bring trouble to the Yonglin Marquisate. If you let her enter the palace, she can become your assistant and help you get promoted. She will also help you bring glory to our Yonglin Marquisate."

"She's smart?" Xu Rui scoffed, as if he'd just heard the biggest joke in the world. "She's so smart she thought of drugging His Majesty? Do you know that if Xu Rong succeeds today, all my previous efforts will be in vain?"

Zheng was shocked. She really didn't expect that Xu Rong had drugged Gu Wei.

Xu Rui grew increasingly furious as he spoke, "She thinks she's smart, but in reality, she's as dumb as a pig. And you, I beg you, could you please stop being so foolish and stop fooling around with Xu Rong?"

Although Zheng knew Xu Rong was wrong, she still wanted to speak up for her, "Rui'er..."

"Please stop talking."

Xu Rui interrupted her and said bluntly, "Xu Rong wants to enter the palace, unless I die and let her walk over my corpse. As for her marriage with Zhou Lai, if you don't agree, I'll let you marry her wherever you want. But one thing is, no matter what happens to her in the future, don't come to me."

Xu Rui's ruthless words stunned Zheng. "She is your biological sister, how can you be so cruel?"

Zheng's unreasonable behavior completely infuriated Xu Rui. He leaned over and stared at her, emphasizing each word. "Because she's my sister, this is the last bit of patience I'll give her. Please don't wear out my last bit of patience. Otherwise, there'll be no room for negotiation."

Zheng was frightened by the anger in Xu Rui's eyes. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva and never dared to mention entering the palace again.

After a while, Zheng said with a serious face, "Does what you just said about not interfering in Rong'er's marriage mean anything?"

"Of course it counts." Xu Rui said.

"That's good."

After Zheng finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Xu Rui looked at Zheng's back and said calmly, "Mother, don't covet Jiang Xiyu's dowry anymore. I don't want to become the laughing stock of the whole capital."

Zheng paused, and without saying a word, she walked out of Xu Rui's room.

Deji entered the house only after Zheng left.

Xu Rui narrowed his eyes sinisterly and ordered, "Go keep an eye on the old lady and Xu Rong."

"Yes." Deji responded and turned to go out. Before he could leave, he said again, "Go and tell Zhou Lai that the old lady doesn't agree with their marriage and wants to send Xu Rong out of Kyoto. Let him decide for himself."

Deji stopped and said directly, "Okay."

Jingyu Garden.

Qing'er's face was filled with joy. She carefully put the jewelry she had taken back from the Xu family back into the cage. She couldn't help but say, "Fifth Miss is really shameless. These jewelry clearly belong to you, Madam, but she wore them for just one day and claimed they were hers. Luckily, Madam was capable and took these jewelry back as soon as possible, otherwise Fifth Miss would definitely not have returned them."

Jiang Xiyu took a sip of tea and said with a half-smile, "Even if she doesn't return it, she won't be able to stay alive for a few days."

Qing'er was stunned for a moment, then thought of what Xu Rong and Zhou Lai had done. She immediately came to Jiang Xiyu with a smile on her face and agreed, "Madam is right. She deserves all this. People with bad hearts will be dealt with by others."

Who says no.

Whether it is Zhou Lai or the current Xu Rong, they are all the consequences of their own evil deeds.

Thinking of something, Qing'er whispered with a gossipy look on her face, "Madam, wasn't the cousin involved in that? How did he ruin the Fifth Miss's innocence?"

Jiang Xiyu was also very confused.

When she went to see Zhou Lai a few days ago, she saw with her own eyes that there was blood on Zhou Lai's crotch, so based on Zhou Lai's current physical condition, he should not be able to touch women again.

So, how did Xu Rong lose her innocence?

"I......"

Jiang Xiyu was just about to speak when she heard a noise outside. She gave a wink and Qing'er immediately ran out to check.

After a while, Qing'er came in and reported, "Madam, the Second and Third Madams want to see you."

Jiang Xiyu was a little surprised. She put down the teacup and said calmly, "Let them in."

"Yes."

After a while, Qing'er brought in Sun and Hu.

"Sister-in-law."

As soon as the two came in, they saluted Jiang Xiyu.

In the past, they would not have taken Jiang Xiyu seriously, let alone pay their respects to her. But after getting to know her over the period of time, especially with so many nobles standing on her side today, the Hu and Sun families no longer dared to be arrogant towards Jiang Xiyu.

"Don't be polite, my two sisters-in-law. Are you here to return the jewelry?" Jiang Xiyu looked at the wooden box in their hands.

They walked over, placed the wooden box on the table, and sat down next to Jiang Xiyu. Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "That's right. Didn't we agree yesterday that we would return it to you after we were done using it? Please check it out, and we can be considered to have returned the jade intact."
