Chapter 854: 854-Thunderbolt Out of the Blue
My Ferocious Tigress Wife
Third Master Xie was targeting Madam Wang, but he couldnât stop Mother Xie from feeling guilty. Hearing Third Master Xieâs insinuations, he was actually scolding her.
How could her fragile little heart tolerate it? How could she like it?
Who are you scolding?
âIâm telling you to let you know about this, not to let you try the case! Do you even have the brain to investigate cases? Do you think everyone else is like you? You donât have any evidence and you can just casually climb up?â
âYouâre still a dignified minister of Taichang Temple outside. Donât just laze around and wait for death!â
âUse your brain for everything!ââ
With such a barrage of insults, Third Master Xie was dumbfounded. Madam Wang was naturally pleased with herself.
Although he had seen through it, the person protecting her was not her, but Xiao Baoxin. After all, Xie Ning wanted to lay her hands on Xiao Baoxin, the great-grandson of the Great Madam. When Third Master Xie said this, it seemed like he was making something up. He was purely going through the motions to thank Ning.
Or was he worthy?
âMother is right. Which one is it? Could it be that a maid and the father of a gambler can be the deciding factor? I called you over because youâre Xie Ningâs father. I want you to see it with your own eyes. Otherwise, with your attitude, Iâm afraid our entire family will blame us for not liking your son and putting on airs to frame him.â
Madam Wang chuckled.â Seriously. Those who know Xie Ning is a bastard son. Those who donât know might think that heâs a hidden dragon and crouching tiger. Heâs feared by others and must be suppressed.ââ
âAlright, stop arguing.âMother Xie frowned. She couldnât stand her own son being brainless. In fact, she couldnât stand the Wang family taking the opportunity to kick her when she was down.
It was already bad enough that he had such a son. Did she have to remind him again and again?
âThird Uncle, donât be anxious. The Grand Madame has already sent Butler Qi to invite Jiang Qian, and we have a silver note that Jiang Qian left behind. Coincidentally, Feng Shu was sick at that time and didnât go out to gamble.â
Third Master Xie looked at Feng Shu in surprise.
Feng Shu was a gambler?
Which gambler would go to the casino the moment they got money and lose first?
Yet, he had covered it up and kept it for today to be used as evidence in court?
âEven if there are banknotes, you canât say that it was given by Jiang Qian, right?ââWhy would he find someone to poison you?â Third Master Xie insisted. You guys have no grudges against each other.â
So he was so slow because he really didnât feel it?
Xiao Baoxin held his stomach and personally went out. He couldnât always let Mother Xie stand in front of him. It was enough to have a headache facing such a troublesome son. If she really kept talking to him, she was afraid that Mother Xie wouldnât be able to hold on.
âSo Third Uncle didnât know. No wonder he insisted on bringing Xie Ning into the residence.â
âWhen Xie Ning and Jiang Qian came to the Xie residence, they were already arguing and treating Xuan Hui and I as enemies who killed my mother. Initially, Xuan Hui didnât want to hurt his relationship with Third Uncle, so he didnât make it clear.â
âAfterwards, Third Uncle repeatedly requested to bring Xie Ning into the residence. Grandmother and Xuan Hui thought of Third Uncleâs father-son relationship and didnât want to hurt Third Uncle, so they agreed. He thought that as long as our Xie family treated him sincerely and with Third Uncleâs guidance, he would eventually understand and let go of his hatred. Who knewâ¦â
âThird Uncle should know that when Third Uncle was impeached by the censor, his reputation was damaged. At that time, the Cheng family found Xuan Hui on the street to stop the car and insisted that Xuan Hui come forward to uphold justice.â
âIn order to avoid a bad reputation from spreading, I will come forward to explain the benefits and disadvantages to the Cheng family. That Cheng shi then eloped with the shopkeeper of the past and left Jiankang.â
â No one expected that the world would suddenly fall into chaos and that Cheng family would lose their lives outside. Brother Xie Ning would treat me and Xuanhui as enemiesâ¦â
âCheng shi and Shopkeeper Tong eloped?â Third Master Xieâs face darkened. He had to admit that his focus was always on the unexpected.
âOh, so you only just found out?â Madam Wang covered her mouth with her handkerchief and laughed.
Not only Madam Wang, but even Mother Xie and Xiao Baoxin didnât realize that Third Master Xie was so late. Didnât he know that the two of them left one after the other?
Could it be that he would go to another place to hire him as a shopkeeper?
Was Daliang that lacking in talent?
No one could blame Madam Wang for laughing.
Mother Xie cleared her throat.â Ah Lang and Bao Xin canât be blamed for this. I was the one who asked them to come forward.â You, as an uncle, have done such an unbearable thing. You have lost your official position and caused the Xie family to lose all face. If you continue to do this, the Xie familyâs ancestor will be humiliated.â
Mother Xie took care of everything.
âIf I had known that they would hate me for this, I would have been the one to hate and poison.â
â Thatâs good for you.â Mother Xie smiled at Third Master Xie.âOnce I die, you can also mourn for your mother. You donât have to go out and mess around. You can rest well.â
When Xie San Ye heard these words, his heart trembled. He knelt down with a thud and gritted his teeth.
It was also Feng Shu and Xi Queâs fault for raising their heads. Each of them had a head full of purple and purple. If he was a little lighter, he would not be able to show it.
The three clangs were crisp.
âMother, itâs your sonâs stupidity. Itâs all your sonâs fault for making Mother worry. Mother canât say these inauspicious things. You can beat or scold your son, but you canât curse yourself.â
âMother, live a long life!â
âYouâd better live a long life, or else you wonât have any future!â Mother Xie sneered. You wonât have a good life either.â
âWhy would mother say such a thing? I admit that I was wrong, but what mother saidâ¦That would be too cold for his son. Am I such a heartless person? I would rather not be an official than let my mother live a long life.â
Mrs. Wang had the urge to answer with a âyesâ.
As long as there was a filial heart that could make such a thing, then this filial piety was quite unique.
âAlright, if youâre really filial in the future, donât do anything that makes me worry and embarrass myself!âMother Xie said angrily that it was mainly the latter. She should stop doing embarrassing things.
She was already in her seventies and eighties. She really could not afford to lose face.
When Third Master Xie heard this, he didnât dare to argue on behalf of Xie Ning and Jiang Qian anymore. His mother had even said that she was unfilial. If he continued to be stubborn, he was afraid that he would really anger his mother.
Moreover, she was also hit by the matter of Cheng shi and Shopkeeper Tong eloping.
He knew that Xiao Baoxin had stood up and chased the Cheng Group away, but what could he do? He was caught in a scandal, and at most, it was just that. If he made a big fuss, the one who would be embarrassed would still be himself.
But Cheng shi and Shopkeeper Tongâ
This was too shocking!
When did they get together? Did they get together after leaving Jiankang, or did they hook up before that and make him a cuckold? Did they think that he was stupid and had a lot of money?!
