She became a god

"Father, do you really not want me to live?"

Xie Shunkang, pale and afflicted by illness, nestled in his mother Tan Min's arms, looking very aggrieved.

Faced with Xie Shunkang's accusations, Xie Jichen's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

As the saying goes, raising children is for old age security.

Compared to Xie Shunjing, a man who will eventually get married, Xie Shunkang is her future support.

But his heart was biased from the start, otherwise he wouldn't have helped Jiang Xiaobai switch children.

Xie Jichen feigned sympathy, saying, "My son, you've only been back for a short time. You don't know that our family is already poor. It's not that I don't love you, but I really can't afford that much money."

"Hehe! Xie Shunjing's robe is worth a thousand high-grade spirit stones, and his family fortune is worth tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones, yet you say you can't come up with a hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones."

Xie Jichen, do you regret not killing me back then? Do you hate me for being alive and affecting your precious son's marriage? Do you wish I were poisoned and died so I wouldn't be in your way?

After a series of questions, the boy soon started coughing excitedly.

Tan Min hurriedly fed her son Peiyuan Pills, but Xie Jichen angrily said, "I am your father, how dare you call me by my name?"

The boy smiled coldly, "I don't have a heartless father like you. If I had a choice, I wouldn't want my mother to choose a son like you."

In matriarchal societies like the demon realm, men often serve as playmates, assisting women in conceiving and giving birth before returning to their maternal homes to continue living with their mothers and sisters and raising their nephews.

Most men may never even obtain the status of a gamete in their entire lives.

As for marriage, it has always been an activity that arose among the upper classes to consolidate their alliances.

Gametes is a neutral term, but for Xie Jichen, it was a great insult.

"A son? If you're not my son, what right do you have to bear the surname Xie? If you're just Tan Min's son, the most you can inherit is 50,000 high-grade spirit stones. You have no right to resent your brother at all?"

"You unfilial son, without me as your son, you wouldn't even have the right to step into the City Lord's Mansion in your entire life! How dare you talk back to me? You've really gone too far!"

Although Xie Jichen repeatedly expressed his aversion to arranged marriages, his greatest skill was using his family's power to maintain his dignity.

There was nothing he could do; Xie Jichen was just lucky to be Xie Changdong's only child.

With the city lord's sister around, no one can do anything to him.

When he was first found, Xie Shunkang inevitably felt anticipation and longing for his parents.

Looking back now, I realize my mother was a good mother, and my father would have been better off dead.

Then Xie Shunkang smiled and said, "It would be wonderful if I could really not be your son."

“I am your son, but because of your tacit approval, I have lived a life worse than an animal for more than ten years. I finally reunited with my mother, but my days are numbered.”

“As your son, I have never enjoyed any wealth or honor, but I have suffered enough.”

Seeing Xie Shunkang's determined look, Xie Jichen suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Xie Jichen, we're severing ties. I'm not a member of the Xie family anymore; I want to be a member of the Tan family."

Xie Jichen's lips trembled as he cursed, "Are you crazy! Don't you want the Xie family's assets anymore?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Shunkang revealed a strange smile. "I don't have many years left to live. How am I going to inherit your property? Or are you planning to commit suicide on the spot?"

Xie Jichen raised his hand to slap Xie Shunkang, but was afraid of killing him and being scolded by his sixth sister.

So he glared at Tan Min and said, "How could such a shrewd woman like you give birth to a stupid son?"

He guessed that Tan Min would try to smooth things over, since Tan Min had married into his family specifically for the assets of his branch of the family.

However, Tan Min's smile vanished completely.

The only sound was the raindrops outside the door, and Xie Jichen had no choice but to believe that it was Tan Min speaking.

"Although the Tan family is not as good as the Xie family, they still have enough money to raise a child."

This is the first sentence.

“Before my son was born, I had given her a name: Yuan.”

This is the second sentence.

"Yuan" is a respectful term for a noblewoman.

"According to the generational order of the Tan family, she is called Tan Yunyuan."

This is the third sentence.

"Our marriage is not meant to be. Today, with the city lord above, I request a divorce agreement, so that we may never see each other again, in life or in death."

This is the fourth sentence.

Xie Jichen went mad. He lunged forward to beat Tan Min like a shrew, completely losing the demeanor of a noble man from a prominent family.

Tan Min simply dodged lightly, causing Xie Jichen to stumble and fall.

Xie Jichen didn't have time to tidy his appearance. He hugged Xie Jiyue's leg and cried, "Sixth Sister, you must stand up for me!"

Xie Jiyue said in a deep voice, "First, take out 100,000 high-grade spirit stones to show your sincerity, and then apologize to Minmei and Kang'er."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jichen was stunned. It was one thing for his sixth sister not to teach that mother and daughter a lesson for him, but why did she make him pay money and lose face?

However, this was not all of Xie Jiyue's demands.

"Xie Shunjing has stolen the life that should have belonged to Kang'er for so many years. You must immediately sever ties with him and kick him out of the mansion."

“Jiang Xiaobai poisoned Kang’er. You are Kang’er’s father. You should kill him to avenge Kang’er.”

After saying this, Xie Jiyue looked at Tan Min and her daughter, "Minmei, it's my fault for teaching my brother to live without a house. But the Xie and Tan families have been friends for many years, and we can't let this ruin everything."

Moreover, Kang'er is my aunt's only daughter. If she becomes a member of the Xie family, she can inherit everything from the four branches of the Xie family.

Kang'er is young, but you're not. You need to think about him. After you recover, you'll become a member of the Xie family, and a smooth and carefree life awaits you.

If I really follow you, putting aside the quality of life, I'll have to carefully compare many cultivation resources that were originally readily available before I dare to acquire them.

It must be said that Xie Jiyue's words made a lot of sense.

Tan Min's heart stirred. "If Xie Jichen can really do the three things that Sixth Sister mentioned, and can also write a document to show that he will make my son the sole heir to the property, I will naturally hope that my child can have another father who loves him."

Xie Jiyue smiled and was about to agree when Xie Jichen, who had just recovered, shouted, "Impossible! I would never send Jing'er away, much less kill Xiaobai. Sixth Sister, you're clearly trying to kill me! I can't do it!"

Xie Jiyue bent down and took Xie Jichen's hand. "Does Seventh Brother mean that he would rather give up his son and wife than not save that mother and son?"

"Yes."

Xie Jichen answered decisively. He wasn't unaware of Sixth Sister's anger and threats, but he wasn't afraid of her.

Sixth Sister promised Mother that she would take care of him for the rest of her life.

Tan Min is a money-grubber. Once Xie Shunkang dies, for the sake of wealth and glory, Tan Min will definitely return to his identity and become his wife, the wife of a demon.

However, this time, Sixth Sister's reaction was quite strange.

She calmly pried Xie Jichen's hands off her legs, slowly stood up, straightened her wrinkled clothes, and said indifferently, "Fine."

Seeing his sixth sister's aloofness, Xie Jichen vaguely felt that he was about to be abandoned.
