After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

"Mother!" Xie Mingzhu ran over at this moment: "Mother, what happened that made you so angry?"

Xie Yuhe exuded a chilling aura, his lips pressed tightly together, and he remained silent.

Seeing this, Xie Mingzhu scolded, "Brother, Mother is not well. Can't you talk things out properly?"

Madam Xie patted her chest, her face pale, and said, "My Mingzhu still knows how to love her mother."

"Unlike this unfilial son, who actually quarrels with his own mother over a woman. If she were to marry into the family, who knows what kind of trouble he would cause!"

“Mother!” Xie Yuhe’s tone became more serious: “Qiongwan is the wife I have chosen for this life, and I will marry her no matter what.”

Xie Xing had just walked into the front hall when he heard this sentence.

She tilted her head, a hint of confusion in her eyes: "Didn't my brother go to the Dali Temple?"

[How did things change from going from the Dali Temple to coming back and arguing with Madam Xie?]

Even the system, let alone Xie Xing, was somewhat puzzled: "Wait a minute, Xie Yuhe didn't find out at this time in the story."

[Why is the plot getting worse and worse?] Xie Xing realized something was wrong.

The message reached Xie Yuhe's mind.

Xie Yuhe's expression froze.

Will Xie Xing and that system discover anything amiss?

The system doesn't know either.

The original plot twist was that the female supporting character would die early, so Xie Xing only needed to complete the storyline of the villainous female supporting character, then bring the male and female leads together, becoming a stepping stone on their path to love. That would complete his mission.

The remaining tasks that increase the villain's favorability are based on the villain's high popularity among book fans, and are exceptional tasks available to some.

but now--

It seems like everyone's storyline has deviated a bit from the expected trajectory.

"However—as long as the main storyline doesn't fall apart, it's fine." The system comforted Xie Xing, "Just complete your own storyline."

The system's words gave Xie Xing a sense of reassurance.

Xie Yuhe also breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

As long as it wasn't discovered.

Although the special ability of mind reading only applies to Xie Xing, it allows him to know many things in the future in advance and avoid them, which is an immense blessing for the Xie family.

So no matter what, we can't let Xie Xing notice anything amiss.

Just

Xie Yuhe narrowed his eyes, but in his heart he was wary of Prince Jin.

Once Xie Yuhe suspected that Prince Jin could also hear Xie Xing's thoughts, he became even more certain of this suspicion. Otherwise, Prince Jin would not have suddenly gotten so close to Xie Xing.

Madam Xie immediately clutched her chest, so angry she could hardly breathe.

Xie Mingzhu's expression changed slightly, and she quickly supported Madam Xie: "Mother...Mother, what's wrong?"

"Go call the doctor!"

Xie Yuhe never expected that Madam Xie would be so resistant to his visiting Yao Qiongwan, and even caused her old illness to flare up. He quickly sent someone to call a doctor.

Xie Xing watched from the side and sighed in a serious manner.

The eldest brother is smart, but like most men, he doesn't know how to handle the relationship between his mother and daughter-in-law.

System accident.

[Host, you know about these things?]

Xie Xing said with feigned seriousness, "The more my elder brother loses his temper with Madam Xie, the more Madam Xie dislikes Yao Qiongwan."

[Who could bear to see their obedient and filial son, whom they raised with such difficulty, turn against them because of another woman?]

The system was shocked: [Host, you know this too?]

Xie Xing puffed out his chest proudly and said with pride, "Of course, when it comes to handling family relationships, I've truly inherited my father's skills."

However, the Xie family was simply too outrageous, and she had only come here to complete a mission, so she would remain invisible in the Xie family as much as possible.

Xie Yuhe moved closer to Xie Xing without making a sound.

[Actually, if the eldest brother simply spoke kindly and gently to Madam Xie, appealing to her emotions and reasoning with her, and made her happy, how could Madam Xie possibly disagree?]

Is this really okay?

Xie Yuhe pondered deeply.

The doctor arrived quickly.

With a pale face, Madam Xie was helped to lean against the couch, one hand on her forehead, her eyes slightly narrowed, while the other hand was placed to the side, allowing the doctor to take her pulse.

Xie Mingzhu ordered someone to bring warm water, wrung out a handkerchief, and gently wiped the sweat from Madam Xie's forehead. She then turned to scold Xie Yuhe, "Brother, no matter what, you can't be angry with Mother."

Xie Mingzhu's thoughtfulness warmed Mrs. Xie's heart.

Looking at her disobedient son and her seemingly oblivious and idling daughter, Madam Xie felt a pang in her heart.

She couldn't bear to hit her son.

She can't bear to scold this daughter who has embarrassed her?

Madam Xie, with a cold face, casually tossed the soft pillow behind her to Xie Xing's feet: "What are you still standing here for?"

Xie Xing looked up blankly.

What does it have to do with her?

Madam Xie was furious at her appearance and scolded her, "You still claim to be our biological daughter every day. When I was pregnant with you, Mingzhu took care of me day and night whenever I was sick."

“Ever since we brought you back, you’ve caused trouble at the General’s Mansion, making me lose face. Now that I’m sick, all you do is stand by and watch.”

"You're far inferior to Mingzhu, so what makes you think you're my biological daughter!"

"Mother!" Xie Yuhe called out softly.

He felt that what was said was incorrect.

Xie Mingzhu, sitting to the side, quickly comforted Madam Xie upon hearing this: "Mother, perhaps my sister just has a little resentment in her heart. It's alright. I'll be here to take care of you."

Xie Xing frowned, somewhat puzzled, and said, "Mother, I have never claimed to be your biological daughter or the only daughter of the General's Mansion."

"Since I entered the manor, I have always obediently listened to your words."

“If you tell me to stay three meters away from you, I will stay three meters away from you. If you tell me to stay away from you, I will try my best not to stay away from you.”

Xie Xing looked at Madam Xie with a puzzled expression: "Mother, you keep changing your mind. Should I take care of you closely or stay away from you?"

Besides... Xie Mingzhu took care of her day and night because they had truly lived together for more than ten years, and she had truly loved Xie Mingzhu for more than ten years.

As for Xie Xing, since he was found, apart from having a place to stay and a respectable status, he has never received any kindness from the Xie family.

Madam Xie has never been kind to her, so why should she expect Madam Xie to care for her day and night?

Madam Xie: “…”

Madam Xie's anger flared: "Get out! Get out of here!"

Xie Xing was always obedient.

She bowed respectfully and formally to Madam Xie, and obediently replied, "Yes, Mother."

Then he turned around and was about to leave, his back view was so dashing and cheerful.

Madam Xie felt a lump in her throat.

The veins on her forehead throbbed, and after a moment, she seemed to remember something. "Wait a minute."

"Mother, is there anything else you need?" Xie Xing turned around, her two slender little hands obediently placed in front of her, her clear and bright eyes looking at Madam Xie.

Madam Xie took a deep breath, pressed her hand to her chest, and finally managed to calm the anger in her chest. She said coldly, "From now on, your courtyard will be moved to Lan Garden. I will also provide you with a governess and three maids."

"When you get married in the future, don't say that my general's mansion has mistreated you."

Xie Xing was truly taken aback.

[Has the sun risen in the west? Has I really angered Mrs. Xie to the point of changing her personality?]

what's the situation?
