The old nanny's face immediately lit up with joy, and she nodded hurriedly: "Satisfied, this old servant will go and invite Young Master over right away. You go into the bathhouse and get ready!"
She left in a hurry, and Xie Rongrong immediately jumped into the bathtub with a look of anticipation on her face.
At this moment, a figure also left the backyard. Who else could it be but Zhan Miao, who was wandering around with Xiaobai?
She never expected that she would overhear such a shocking conspiracy in the guest room.
Is this okay?
How dare she steal her older sister's husband and even want to be her equal wife?
She's shameless!
She frowned and ran outside quickly.
At this moment, the old nanny found Xie Jianshu, who was being pulled into drinking by Zhan Xuan. His face was a little red, and he looked somewhat drunk.
The old nanny leaned close to him and said urgently, "Young Master, our lady is not feeling well. Please come and take a look at her!"
Xie Jianshu still respected his aunt quite a bit, after all, he and his mother would never have survived to this day without the support of the Xie family.
Without thinking, he walked out, but at the moon gate in the backyard, he bumped into Zhan Miao, who was standing with her hands on her hips, and her beloved white wolf.
He asked instinctively, "Meow? What are you doing here? Does your sister need to see me?"
Zhan Miao pointed at the old woman beside him and said, "This old woman has no good intentions. Don't believe what she says!"
The old nanny's expression changed drastically. She said anxiously, "Miss Zhan, what are you saying? How could this old servant have ill intentions? The Xie and Zhan families are related by marriage. Don't try to sow discord between them!"
Zhan Miao sneered; "I'm sowing discord? You tricked my brother-in-law into going there, weren't you going to see that Xie family girl who's soaking in the bathtub?"
The old woman was so shocked that she broke out in a cold sweat. She never expected that Zhan Miao would have seen through her plan.
How can this be good?
Sure enough, Xie Jianshu's expression changed instantly.
He looked sharply at the old nanny: "Tell the truth, is this what you and your cousin were planning?"
The old nanny naturally dared not admit it. She gritted her teeth and argued, "No, it's all this Miss Zhan's slander. Young Master, please don't believe her!"
Zhan Miao said sarcastically, "Brother-in-law, whether I'm slandering you or not, why don't you just have your mother go and see for herself?"
The old woman panicked and turned to run away.
Zhan Miao immediately shouted, "Xiao Bai, stop her right now!"
The enormous snow wolf immediately pounced on the old woman's shoulder, pinning her to the ground.
She screamed in terror and immediately fainted.
Zhan Miao woke her up with cold water, and Xie Jianshu had already invited Xie Ru and her sister-in-law from her maternal family out.
He recounted the events, which immediately made Xie Ru's face turn ashen with anger.
She turned and glared at Madam Xie: "Sister-in-law, how did you raise your daughter? How could she do such a despicable thing?"
Madam Xie was utterly shocked. She shook her head instinctively: "Impossible! Rongrong has been well-behaved and kind since she was little. She would never do such a shameless and despicable thing!"
Xie Ru said disappointedly, "Whether she can do it or not, we'll find out by going there."
Out of consideration for her family's reputation, Xie Ru didn't even bring any maids or servants; she simply followed Madam Xie towards the guest room.
At this moment, Xie Rongrong was shivering and huddled in the bathtub. The hot water had already cooled down, but the old nanny still hadn't come with Xie Jianshu.
Could something have gone wrong?
She frowned and instinctively grabbed the edge of the bathtub to stand up.
Just then, she heard footsteps outside, and her heart leaped with joy. Ignoring her cold hands and feet, she rushed toward the figure at the door.
"Brother!" When she was stared at by a pair of cold, sharp eyes, she swallowed the word "brother" back down her throat.
Xie Ru looked at her sarcastically: "What are you talking about?"
Xie Rongrong stood frozen in embarrassment, wishing she could disappear into the ground.
Madam Xie was both shocked and furious. She instinctively rushed forward and slapped her hard across the face: "You shameless and despicable thing, how could you do such a thing?"
Xie Rongrong was beaten to the ground, sobbing sadly, "Hit me, hit me, just beat me to death!"
Madam Xie wanted to make another move, but Xie Ru stopped her: "Put her dressed first. If outsiders see this, it will be embarrassing to hear that the Xie family has a corrupt reputation!"
With just one sentence, Madam Xie felt both ashamed and embarrassed.
She truly never expected her daughter to resort to such despicable means in public.
Even if she had correctly identified Xie Jianshu, she wouldn't dare to be in such a hurry.
She quickly ordered someone to dress Xie Rongrong, then looked at Xie Ru and said, "What do you plan to do with Rongrong? Your brother and I only have this one daughter. Besides, you loved her very much before. She just made a mistake for a moment!"
Xie Ru sneered: "Do you think I've raised an ungrateful child?"
Madam Xie hurriedly explained, "Ru-mei, you can't say that. When you were in a difficult situation back then, your elder brother and I supported you. It's true that Madam Lin Yi-wan saved your life, but we also made huge sacrifices. And Rong-rong, she also served you. You can't hold onto her mistakes!"
Xie Ru closed her eyes tightly; she had not forgotten the kindness of her brother and sister-in-law.
However, those favors can be repaid slowly, but we cannot burden our son with heavy shackles.
She said in a deep voice, "This matter can be dropped, but Xie Rongrong must never set foot in the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence again. Do you agree?"
Madam Xie naturally agreed, as long as things didn't escalate.
However, Xie Rongrong ran out from the inner room with a swollen face and said, "I don't agree! I'm deeply in love with my cousin. If you don't let me marry him, I'll kill myself right here!"
She was also determined to die, and as soon as she finished speaking, she actually slammed her head against the wall.
Madam Xie's expression changed drastically, and she immediately rushed over to stop her: "Silly child, how could you do this?"
The mother and daughter both fell to the ground and hugged each other, crying bitterly.
Xie Rongrong sobbed, "Mother, I can't live without my cousin. I'd be willing to be his concubine. Please beg my aunt to let me into the family!"
Madam Xie knew that this was wrong, but when she saw her daughter's tear-streaked face, she eventually calmed down.
The daughter is hers, and as her mother, she must fulfill her wish.
Most importantly, Xie Jianshu is indeed young and promising. Even if Xie Rongrong marries him as a concubine, she will certainly not suffer any grievances.
She could only plead with Xie Ru: "Ru-mei, please agree to Rongrong's request after all the support our family has given you. She is your own niece, so she will naturally be even more filial to you. Moreover, she has known how to do business since she was a child. If she marries Jianshu, she will definitely be able to revitalize all of your family's businesses!"
