Xiao Baoxin returned to Rong An Hall, while Lady Yuan went to the west wing. When she arrived, Zhilan walked out with her head lowered and almost bumped into her.
Zhilan was Mother Xie’s most prideful maid. To be able to make her lose her composure like this, it was obvious that it was not an ordinary matter.
“Old Furen, please forgive me.”
“It’s fine,” Madam Yuan shook her head.”
Zhilan wanted to say something but stopped and looked inside.
Madam Yuan nodded, smiled at her, and slowly walked into the house.
The Second Lady was crying her eyes and nose were red. The Ninth Lady was also clutching her small handkerchief and crying. Mother Xie’s face was as gloomy as water. When she saw her come in, she said,
“Third Brother, this scourge, has caused trouble again. Third Brother’s wife has found out about it. Now that she’s gone to look for him, I’ve asked the servants to prepare a carriage. Eldest Brother’s wife, come with me.”
Mrs. Yuan was confused, but she knew that if Mother Xie had gone with them, it would not have been so big.
Moreover, the old lady was not in good health. What if she got angry again?
“Mother, if there’s anything, daughter-in-law can make a trip. Your health is more important. Moreover, wouldn’t you be making a big deal out of it if you go?”
Also, who could tell her what was going on?
Listening to her, Madam Yuan had a rough idea in her heart, but it was also her own guess.
“Mother, what exactly happened? Why is sister-in-law so angry?”
Mother Xie was so embarrassed that she panicked when she said it herself.”They said that Third Brother didn’t return to the residence for the entire night, so the Wang family summoned the manservant who usually followed Third Brother. In the end, they found out that Third Brother had a mistress outside and was involved in some murder case. He had been away for the past few days because of this matter.”
“When the Wang family heard this, they became anxious and chased after him with the guards.”
“That servant was taken away by the Wang family. We don’t know where he is either. We only heard that he runs a restaurant.”The last sentence was for Second Lady.
Xie Shan shook her head.” I didn’t hear it clearly either. I only heard my mother leave in a fluster with a manservant. It seemed to be a very famous restaurant. The woman’s surname was Cheng.””
“I’ll send someone to ask around.” Madam Yuan was swift and decisive as she was about to leave.
” Auntie, I want to go with you too.” Xie Shan stood up.
“Second Mother, this isn’t something you should do. Stay at home, I’ll bring your mother back in one piece.”Lady Yuan comforted her and bowed to Mother Xie before excusing herself.
Just as he left the house, Zhilan returned.
“Replying to Old Furen, the car is ready and waiting outside the back door.”
Lady Yuan pondered for a moment and instructed her maid, Qing Shuang,””Go to Rong An Hall and ask Furen if she knows where the Cheng family is. If she knows, invite her over.”
Zhi Lan stood beside her and did not carry the slightest bit of her body.
However, Zhilan couldn’t say anything. The reason why the Grand Madame ordered the juniors to leave first was because she didn’t want the juniors to get involved. It was not as if he did not have the intention of covering up for his son. He could not afford to lose his face.
However, Lady Yuan had invited Rong Antang’s wife…
If they really went to catch that thing together, they would have to face each other. If they were blocked by a junior on the spot, they would probably see each other everywhere in the future. It would not be good for them to be high-profile. After all, they would be seen when they were embarrassed.
Zhilan knew what was going on, but she didn’t say anything and turned around to return to the inner room.
Qing Shuang went to Rong An Hall. In less than half a cup of tea’s time, Xiao Baoxin changed into men’s clothes and came over with a heroic bearing. It seemed that he knew the background of the Cheng family.
“Since you know the foundation of the Cheng clan, come with me.”Madam Yuan walked towards the back corner door.
Xiao Baoxin followed behind until they got into the car. He then told Madam Yuan the truth,”.. News had spread two days ago. All Lang had told his daughter-in-law last night that this matter was going to blow up.”
Then, he told her everything about the Cheng family having a child outside.
Xie Shan listened to her and did not mention anything about having a mistress at all. Presumably, the Wang family knew about this. Otherwise, she would not have gone to the door in anger. She wasn’t a young lady in her teens or twenties anymore. She wouldn’t be angry anymore. The Wang family cared about their reputation.
Sure enough, it was all because of this family. One had to know that the third family only had a two-year-old bastard son. They had to hire a doctor every two or three days, and they did not know if he could raise him until he was an adult. If the matter blew up, Xie Laosan would take advantage of the situation and bring his mistress into the residence. In the future, wouldn’t the property of the third branch be his?
The Wang family had worked hard for half of their life, for whom did they work so hard for?
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked and talked all the way. It didn’t take long for them to reach Changgan.
The Cheng family’s Ju Fu Restaurant was in Changgan, and they lived not far from here, only two streets away.
Changgan Lane was a downtown area. People and cars came and went, so it was a little congested. When Xiao Baoxin arrived, there were already many neighbors surrounding the Cheng family’s house. They were pointing and talking, blocking half the road.
In the end, the guards had to clear a path for them to park the ox-cart outside.
There was also a folding calf cart parked there. It was also from the Xie family and had their family emblem.
When they got off the carriage, they heard constant curses coming from the courtyard. Madam Yuan and Xiao Baoxin quickly walked in. The guards guarded the door. When they saw that the person who came was from the Xie family, they did not come.
Seeing the scene, Xiao Baoxin’s eyes almost fell out. Madam Wang, who had taken the initiative to attack, was actually being beaten up passively. She was being chased and beaten by two ten-year-old boys. The guards protected Madam Wang, so she did not really get hit.
“What use do 1 have for you? Hurry up and tie her up. I’m your wife! “Madam Wang’s hair was messy as she hid behind the two guards. She was scolding them as she combed her hair.
In Chancellor Xie’s arms was a woman who was less than thirty years old. She was enchanting and beautiful, and her pair of big eyes took up half of her face.
Behind these two people who were hugging in public stood an eight or nine-year-old young man. He was actually 60 to 70% similar to Chancellor Xie, completely without inheriting his mother’s beautiful face.
“You’re my wife, and I’m still my master! This is our Xie family’s guard. You brought my family’s guard to attack me. Is there a hole in your brain?!”
Xiao Baoxin,[I can’t refute this. It makes sense.] Madam Wang must be furious. Otherwise, she must have been bossy these past few years and really thought that she was going to do as she was told.
“What is Uncle doing? They felt that they had not lost enough face and caused a commotion. If you don’t want face, the Xie family will. “Madam Yuan was as cold as ice and spoke without mercy.
Not even in his dreams did Chancellor Xie expect that not only his wife would come knocking on his door, but the always cold and aloof sister-in-law would also come.
“Sister-in-law, what are you doing here? Are you also helping the Wang Consortium?”
Lady Yuan ignored his words.” My mother ordered me to bring you and your wife back to the residence. If there’s anything, you can settle it in the residence. Don’t make a fool of yourself outside.” Do you want to leave on your own, or should I get someone to escort you back?”
“Let me see who dares to touch my father!” The two lads rushed over with sticks in their hands.
Those guards were just pretending to stop them, and no one dared to really fight with the sons of Third Master Xie. The three of them called him father, so who knew if they were all the young masters of the Xie family outside?
The two young men thought that these people were all the same and did not dare to make a move. Who knew that when she rushed to Xiao Baoxin’s side, she kicked the wrist of the young man closest to her. The young man’s wrist hurt and he let go. Xiao Baoxin took the stick in the air and took a step forward to knock the hand of another shorter young man. With a scream, the stick fell to the ground. Before the two of them could react, she had already kicked the two young men to the ground..
