Chapter 453 Cursing
Xia Zihan turned his head and glanced at the hourglass.
Seeing that it was almost noon, she hummed, "Then go to the warehouse and take out the inkstone I bought in the northwest last time, put it in a wooden box, and I will send it to my father."
"There are also snacks. You put two boxes and deliver them together when the time comes."
Chu Lin's eyes lit up, "I'll go find Mother Cui to get the inkstone."
Chu Cong told Chu Meng to pack some snacks, while he prepared the things Xia Zihan would take with her when she went out.
By the time they finished lunch and arrived at Xia's house, it was already an hour later. As soon as they entered the Chuihua Gate, they heard a noise not far away.
She paused and looked at the woman guarding the door, "Who is quarreling?"
The woman's face turned pale, and she knelt down in fright and said, "Go back to the princess, the old slave is guarding the door here and has not left. I really don't know."
Xia Zihan took several of his maids and hurried to the place where the quarrel was taking place.
"...Hello, now that you have become a big official and have become more capable, you don't have to ask me, a mother, about anything you do. You can make the decision yourself. For such a big thing as divorcing your wife, you can just divorce it. That's right. You don’t need to tell me, you...do you still care about me as a mother?”
"How can it be easy for me to make you big with my shit and my milk? I haven't enjoyed your service for a day. Your wife has served me at home for you for so many years. She has no credit but hard work, not to mention that she gave birth to you. My eldest son, you actually divorced me when you said you wanted to, and you even made her hang herself in anger. If my mother-in-law hadn’t found out earlier, would she have been so angry with you?”
"In our Xia family, who wouldn't say good things about our family conduct? You were also a good person before. Why did you stay in the capital for just a few years and you didn't even want your first daughter and first wife to pamper an aunt who couldn't stand up to the public?"
"You have a legitimate wife. If you don't pamper and hurt me, why don't you pamper a despicable aunt? Second brother, second brother, you were not like this before. If you do this, you are slapping your mother in the face. What are you trying to do?" It’s killing me.”
He was being playful and unreasonable.
It is implied that Xia Shiming was a bad student in the capital, and when Xia Shiming first arrived in the capital, he lived in Chuzhai for a while. This is another hint that Xia Shiming was a bad boy by her grandmother.
Moreover, there were insinuations inside and outside the words. On the surface, he was scolding Xia Shiming, but in fact, he was scolding her grandmother.
Xia Zihan stood under the verandah not far away, looking here coldly. She wanted to see what Xia Shiming would do when Mrs. Xia scolded her grandmother.
Xia Shiming knelt on the ground with his head lowered, not daring to disobey the old lady. In order to quell the old lady's anger, he had to admit that he was wrong.
"Mother, don't be angry. My son was just angry because of the gossip outside, and he acted impulsively. I won't give up, and I will take back the divorce letter."
As for Hugh, the old lady would hit her head first and die in front of him.
He could ignore the Xu family, but he couldn't destroy the reputation of the Xu family. Although the Xu family had long been ruined, in the old lady's heart, she still preferred the reputation of her mother's family to her dull son.
No matter how vicious or mischievous Mr. Xu was, Mrs. Xia would never allow Xia Shiming to divorce her.
"Humph, second brother, I'm warning you, I will divorce your wife unless I die." The old lady said viciously.
Xia Shiming hurriedly responded and said he didn't dare.
Mrs. Xia's face looked better now, and she ordered her mother-in-law to help Xia Shiming get up.
Xia Zihan looked very disappointed. Thinking about it in a blink of an eye, I also thought that her father was a blockhead, and he didn't know what the old lady said. Did he hear the meaning behind the words? Maybe he didn't understand?
"What are you doing here?"
Just when Xia Zihan was deep in thought, the old lady saw her, her expression dropped immediately and she pulled her hair longer than a horse's face.
Xia Zihan walked over and said with a smile, "I'm here to visit my father. The third sister did something like that and it spread throughout the capital. I was worried about my father's health, so I came here."
"Those two incidents were not your fault?" The old lady suddenly glared at her, "This is not the first time for Sister Ying to attend a banquet. How come something happened when she went to the Chu family and the Chu family? You and the Chu family The relationship is so good, it’s not easy to make a game there.”
"Grandma, you...why did you involve me in this matter?" Xia Zihan looked hurt, "I said it was my fault. Grandma has proof?"
"Go and ask Third Sister, is it the Begonia Forest that I asked her to go to? Is it the Qinghe Courtyard that I asked her to go to? Wasn't that the case where she left the maid and went there secretly?"
"Before this, I didn't know Chu Jingwen at all. How could I plot against them?"
"Chu Jingwen admitted in public that he had an affair with his third sister, but my grandmother angrily scolded me here and fabricated me. Grandma, is it because I didn't grow up by your side that you don't regard me as your granddaughter? So why are you always behind my back? You don’t care about my reputation, do you?”
"The third sister did such shameless things in the Chu family and the Chu family, but no one forced her, so Chu Jingwen couldn't help it. Everyone is still deaf, but they can still hear clearly."< br>
"Either grandma doesn't believe it, or we call a few reputable people from Lao'an to ask Chu Jingwen whether it was me who was behind it, or whether they had already agreed to it secretly."
Xia Zihan was so angry that she opened her mouth and poured it all out like beans.
The old lady, who had never been disobeyed by anyone before, was stunned. When she realized that she was being pointed at and scolded by a teenage girl, she was so angry that her whole body trembled and her lips turned purple.
She said, "I only said one thing, you said so much, what do you want to do, do you still want to eat me?"
Knowing that he is in the wrong and has fallen behind, he wants to play rogue and get over it.
Humph...no way.
Xia Zihan's tears fell down. She grabbed the corner of Xia Shiming's sleeve and said, "Dad, I just came to visit you with good intentions. I'm afraid that you will be angry with your third sister. Since If my grandmother doesn’t welcome me, then I’ll leave. I won’t come to Xia’s house in the future. The provincial grandmother saw that I had a headache and said I was unfilial.”
After saying that, she ordered the maid to give the things she brought to Xia Shiming's servant. In addition to two boxes of snacks, there was also a bottle of nourishing kidney and qi pills.
"Dad, I'm leaving then." Xia Zihan left with a heartbroken look on his face.
"Yu Niang, your grandmother means what she says but she doesn't mean it. Don't worry about it. It's your father who did something wrong today and made your grandmother angry. That's why your grandmother said nonsense. Don't take it seriously." Xia Shiming comforted his daughter in a low voice.
"I know dad, my grandma is old and I don't know her the same way."
Seeing her leaving, Xia Shiming felt heartbroken.
He originally wanted to catch up and ask his precious daughter to stay and talk to him. The father and daughter hadn't talked to each other for a long time, but when he turned around, he saw the old man who was very angry and was holding his chest and about to faint. After becoming a wife, Xia Shiming immediately gave up the idea.
If he catches up to comfort his daughter, the old lady will definitely faint and make him see her. At that time, the matter will become even more serious, and Yu Niang will also get a bad reputation as a grandmother who fainted with anger.
