Reborn as a concubine's daughter and entering a noble family: Xie Lang, don't be too seduc

"Qinghuai—"

Granny Guo couldn't stand it anymore. She looked around, a hint of anger hidden in her eyes.

If anyone in the Xie family heard these words, it would probably cause trouble. Seeing that Qinghuai was still angry and unwilling to back down, he simply reached out and pulled her back two steps. Then he gently advised, "Don't talk nonsense. What will people think if they hear this? They'll say that even servants from Yaohua Palace can ride on their masters' heads."

"Master?" Qinghuai's face darkened. Having suffered such a great injustice yesterday, and with the eldest son of the Xie family belittling them for Huo Sanghua's sake, she was unwilling to tolerate this. "What kind of master is Huo Sanghua!"

"Second Madam, please don't blame Qinghuai," Granny Guo said, unable to dissuade Qinghuai, she turned to Huo Sanghua for advice. "Yesterday, the eldest young master suddenly came and said many unpleasant things, even threatening to punish them. Qinghuai, after all, came from Consort Qi's palace; when has she ever suffered such humiliation..."

Speaking of what happened yesterday, even she was terrified.

They thought that the Xie family would have to treat them, who came as part of the dowry, with some courtesy, out of respect for Consort Qi.

But what about the eldest son of the Xie family?

"Although the eldest son of the Xie family is known as a stern-faced devil, and usually expressionless, I've never seen him lose his temper like that with anyone in the manor. It was truly terrifying! He kept saying that the women there weren't serving him properly, and that no one even noticed when the second madam fainted in her room. He said it would be better to sell them all off..."

Granny Guo imitated Xie Shu's tone, and was also extremely excited.

“… …” Huo Sanghua watched her repeat what had happened yesterday, and for a moment he didn’t know what to say.

She vaguely remembered that when she woke up last night and spoke with Xie Shu, he did mention that the servants in her courtyard were not doing their job properly, and that he would wait for her to make a decision on how to deal with them. She never expected it to be like this; he had already lost his temper earlier.

Since the matter had already come to this point, Granny Guo couldn't help but remind her. "It's naturally a good thing that a newlywed daughter-in-law is favored by her husband's family. But seeing the eldest young master's temper last night, it's hard not to have some doubts. Second Madam, you've already married the second young master of the Xie family, so you should still keep to your proper place, lest word get out and people talk badly about Consort Qi, that wouldn't be good."

It seems that Granny Guo has also discerned Xie Shu's thoughts after that outburst of temper...

"I think she's eager for this to spread!" Qinghuai added, her anger still simmering. "The eldest son of the Xie family is so upright and righteous, he didn't even fancy the youngest daughter of the Duke of Mao's mansion, how could he possibly fancy a mere orphan like Huo Sanghua? I'm afraid that earlier, when she couldn't get close to the eldest son of the Xie family, she clung to the second son, and now that she's entered the Xie family, she's thinking of climbing the social ladder again!"

Hearing these harsh words, Granny Guo quickly tugged at Qinghuai again, warning her not to talk nonsense anymore.

Seeing that Huo Sanghua was speechless after being choked by her words, Ke Qinghuai thought she had gained the upper hand. "I advise you not to daydream. What are you doing, pretending to be pitiful in front of the eldest young master, hoping to make him feel sorry for you and then make things difficult for us! ... But then again, you used to be this seductive in the palace, trying to seduce the fourth prince and make him pity you so he would help you get rid of everyone you thought was in your way!"

"Qinghuai!" Granny Guo could no longer bear it and had to speak up to remind her.

"What's there to be afraid of!" Qinghuai said dismissively. "If she dares to do it, why would she be afraid of what people say?!"

Out of the corner of her eye, Hawthorne caught a glimpse of a figure flashing past in the courtyard and immediately recognized it as Li Mama, who was by Madam Xie's side. She must have been passing by and heard the commotion, so she came closer and hid to listen to what they were arguing about.

“I have no selfish motives,” Huo Sanghua said. “Since I married into the Marquis of Anding’s household and married Erlang, I have been Erlang’s wife, and I will spend the rest of my life by Erlang’s side. I know why Consort Qi sent you here. You don’t need to remind me again and again. Now that I am a member of the Xie family, I naturally have to stand with the Xie family to face problems. The eldest son pities me because I am a member of the Xie family. How dare you make up such nonsense about the eldest son and me and use it to threaten me?! Damaging my reputation is a small matter, but how dare you damage the eldest son’s reputation! If you dare to spread these fabricated words to Consort Qi’s ears, do you know what kind of impact it will have on the eldest son!”

“You—” Qinghuai clearly sensed that something was wrong.

I had long heard that Huo Sanghua was a master of sophistry. Even though it was obvious that there were doubts about her relationship with the eldest son of the Xie family, she was still able to exonerate herself completely.

"Say no more!" Granny Guo couldn't stand it anymore. "We're all from Consort Qi's palace, why make a fool of yourselves? This is the Xie family, the Marquis of Anding's residence! All this arguing will only make Consort Qi lose face in the end."

Qinghuai was furious and turned to leave.

Granny Guo was at a loss. Watching her walk away, she sighed helplessly. "Why bother with all this?"

"Let's go, Granny Guo." Huo Sanghua put on an act as if nothing had happened, smiled and put her arm around Granny Guo, slowly walking to the side. "I rarely have free time today, so I'd like to take a look in the garden."

Granny Guo was confused. "It's winter, and all the leaves have fallen. What's there to see in the garden?"

"Of course it'll be beautiful, Granny, just wait and see." Huo Sanghua had a plan in mind, and without further ado, she pulled Granny Guo towards the garden.

the other side.

Old Madam Xie, who had just been so angry with Xie Shu that she almost fainted, had just recovered somewhat.

Li's mother rushed over with a bowed posture. When Madam Xie saw her expression, she immediately ordered all the servants around her to leave.

Li Mama whispered something in Madam Xie's ear, her face twitching, and Madam Xie immediately flew into a rage...

"Oh! She... ...that Hawthorne, did she really say that?"

Madam Li nodded seriously, "This old servant heard it clearly."

"Hmph, the Duchess of Maoguo is right, she is indeed clever. But the people around her... ..."

Madam Xie was so angry that she gritted her teeth. That Qinghuai guy actually dared to scheme against her precious son!

If Qinghuai succeeds and these rumors reach Consort Qi's ears, what will become of us?

"My Shu'er has worked so hard, how could they be so eager to ruin him!"

But she wasn't completely unaware of Xie Shu's thoughts.

Her Shu'er was always calm and composed, indifferent to women, completely different from that Erlang. Yet, she showed a special affection for Huo Sanghua, so when Xie Shu frankly admitted to having someone she liked, she didn't even glance at Huo Sanghua...

Because she already knew it in her heart.

However, even Huo Sanghua wouldn't dare to provoke her Shu'er.

That's why she didn't make the matter public and let everyone know.

"...This matter must not be spread outside." Old Madam Xie was making up her mind. It was true that Xie Shu was in love with Huo Sanghua, but he was also someone who did not know how to hide it. If the matter were to spread, he would definitely admit to it without hesitation and would never lie about it.

“Yes, Madam. We must not let such a person tarnish the young master’s reputation!” Madam Li chimed in.

“She was sent by Consort Qi, so her purpose is probably not pure.” Old Madam Xie narrowed her eyes slightly. “Mama Li, go and call Xiao Yan over.”

"Yes."
