Chapter 467 Adding Makeup
Xia Shiming was preparing lessons at the school. The boy he stayed at home came to him hurriedly and said that something big had happened at home.
The boy gasped and stuttered, "Madam... Madam... she asked the old lady to remove the second girl from the family tree, and the old lady agreed."
"What?" Xia Shiming's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked for leave from his boss, then took a carriage and rushed home.
In the car, he asked the boy, "For what reason did the old lady really agree?"
The boy told him the news one by one, "That's it...it's my wife. She went to the second girl's shop to beg for clothes, but the boy in the shop refused to give them to her. She happened to meet Princess Qinghui and the Liao family. The girl left, and Princess Qinghui scolded the wife. When the wife came back, she scolded the third girl..."
"That means, it seems that the third girl persuaded the wife to go to Yusha Pavilion. The wife was wronged, and when she came back, she scolded the third girl for having bad intentions and causing her to lose face."
"I heard from the maid next to the second wife that the second wife also scolded the second girl for being stingy, scolding the second girl for not having her as a mother in her heart and not being a member of the Xia family."
"Today, not long after the master left, my wife went to the old lady and said that the second girl only had the Chu family in her heart, not the Xia family, and did not take the old lady seriously. The old lady asked the second girl to go back to live, and the second girl did not Take care of it..."
Xu, who asked about him, learned everything she said to the old lady.
The more Xia Shiming listened, the darker his face became. When he arrived at Xia's house, he didn't even enter his own yard, but went directly to Xu's yard.
Mrs. Xu was very happy.
Today she vented her anger and persuaded the old lady to remove that bitch's name from the Xia family tree.
That bitch, it doesn't matter if she is a princess, if she is removed from the Xia family, her reputation will be ruined and she will be laughed at for the rest of her life.
Hahaha...
When she thought that Xia Zihan would be treated as a laughing stock and ridiculed for the rest of her life, Mrs. Xu felt very good. She ordered the maid to serve tea, put a plate of spiced peanuts on it, and sat on the Kang, leaning on the big pillow. Enjoying the autumn leaves falling outside, I ate the peanuts peeled by the maid with relish.
Just when she was having fun with Pepsi, Xia Shiming rushed in with red eyes and a ferocious expression, pointed at her and cursed, "You vicious woman, you are so cruel, how could Yu Niang be sorry for you? Do you want to persuade the old lady to remove her? ”
"You have harmed her over and over again and coveted her property. There has never been a time when she was not a big deal with you. But you are so good at repaying kindness with enmity and want to remove her. I think the person who wants to be removed is not Yu Niang, but you. This poisonous woman.”
"Tell me, what have you done for Yu Niang in the years since you came to the capital? Did you embroider a handkerchief for her or make a pair of shoes for her? You are still her mother. Are you worthy of being her mother? You are unkind as a mother and unkind as a wife. Even if you treat Jiahui's child harshly, you still want to expel her. You are too cruel and your sin is unforgivable..."
Xia Shiming was almost going crazy. Once he opened his mouth, he couldn't close it.
Mrs. Xu was stunned by his scolding and stood there motionless.
When Xia Shiming said that her crime was unforgivable, she burst into tears.
"I am unkind to my mother. Master, if you say this, you have to touch your conscience. When we first arrived in the capital, she had a house that she would rather rent out than let us live in. I am her mother, and I am still her mother." Dear father, what’s wrong with living in your daughter’s house, but she insists on not letting us live in it.”
"A large group of people were crowded into a small rented building with two doors. She could see through it. The master said she was good, but I didn't notice a single thing about her.
"Say that I covet her property. It's not like I don't have enough food and clothing. What do I do if I covet her property? I said I want to help you manage the village. It's also for her own good. At that time, she was only old and talented. I am eleven or twelve years old, so young, and I have a big Zhuangzi in my hands. I am worried about that.”
"She is either my biological child or my biological child, and she has property in her hands, so I don't worry about it. As a result, she treats me as a donkey with good intentions, and she unjustly accuses me of coveting her property. With the master helping her, I can't argue. I You almost killed me.”
"I won't talk about what happened in the past. The master took it out on me right away. What happened to me? I never told the old lady anything to remove her. If you don't believe me, you can ask the old lady. I If I say it, I will be struck by thunder.”
She did not say the word "removal", but what she said to the old lady meant that she wanted to expel Xia Zihan from the Xia family.
The old lady listened and agreed.
Xia Zihan was made a princess by the emperor. It stands to reason that the Xia family would also grow faces, but in fact, it was the Chu family who had the faces, but they had nothing to do with the Xia family.
There is no benefit. Xia Zihan, the granddaughter, is not close to the Xia family. It can be said that she is dispensable. Mrs. Xia was prompted by Mrs. Xu to have the idea of expelling Xia Zihan.
At this moment, Xia Shiming was furious, and Xu naturally couldn't admit anything, otherwise, Xia Shiming would have given up on her.
As soon as Xu finished speaking, Xia Shiming's servant came out and learned everything Xu said in the old lady's ear, word for word.
Xu's face looked as white as snow as if all the blood had been drained.
Xia Shiming became angry and ordered four rough women to hold her and beat her twenty times.
Ms. Xu complained endlessly and even cried to defend herself, but Xia Shiming couldn't listen to anything and supervised her being beaten at the scene.
When Xia Ziying got the news, she panicked for a moment. Not to mention interceding for Mrs. Xu, at this time, she wished that Mrs. Xu was not her biological mother, lest she be implicated.
"Girl, my wife was beaten badly. Why don't you go and see?" the maid asked with a trembling heart.
"My wife was beaten and punished by the master. It was because she did something wrong. I am going to intercede for my wife. I am afraid that the master will not only refuse to give up, but may punish her even more severely."
Xia Ziying tried every means to find a suitable excuse for herself.
In fact, she was scared inside.
The cause of this incident was that she instigated her mother to go to Yusha Pavilion to ask for clothes. Once her father came to care about it, she would not let him go.
At this time, if she appeared in front of her father and went to plead for her mother, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth and falling into a trap?
What she should do now is act like she doesn't know about it.
When Xia Ziying refused to go, the maid stopped trying to persuade him. Chu Cong glanced at Xia Ziying with a mocking smile on his face.
Xia Ziying and Mrs. Xu are both cold-blooded and ruthless at heart. Mrs. Xu can shamelessly scold her own daughter, while Xia Ziying can also be indifferent to her mother's life and death. At this time, she only thinks about protecting herself.
What this mother and daughter did was chilling.
Chu Cong despised this kind of people the most. They were selfish and profit-seeking. They refused to save others. For their own sake, they could even ignore their family ties.
"Girl, the master is here." The woman who was guarding the door came in to report.
Before Xia Ziying could speak, Xia Shiming had already walked in.
Xia Shiming stopped three meters away from Xia Ziying, staring at her with indifferent and distant eyes.
Xia Ziying was so flustered by his stare that she hurriedly leaned over and said, "Dad, why are you here? You didn't tell your daughter before you came so that she could go out to greet you."
Although she pretended to be nonchalant, her voice was trembling and her eyes were slightly lowered. She didn't dare to look at Xia Shiming's face, for fear of looking at him and him discovering something.
"I'm here to tell you something." Xia Shiming's voice was a little cold, with a touch of alienation and strangeness.
This was the first time he spoke to Xia Ziying in this tone. Even though Xia Ziying had brought shame to the Xia family before, Xia Shiming never really had an argument with Xia Ziying.
Even if she was punished, she would only be grounded and forced to copy scriptures. She would never be punished like Xu.
"I already know that you instigated your mother to go to Yusha Pavilion to cause trouble. If I hadn't seen that you were going to leave the pavilion in three days, I would not have spared you so easily."
"You also know the Xia family's family style. The series of crimes you have committed are enough to send you to the family temple ten times to knock on sutras and chant Buddha for a lifetime."
"Now, I'm not going to punish you, but you have to remember that after entering the Cao family, if you still refuse to change your mind and do everything possible to harm your second sister, then it's no wonder that I, a cruel father, are cruel."< br>
"You know in your heart how your second sister treats you, and you know even better in your heart what you think of your second sister. I hope you will take care of yourself in the future and stop committing evil."
Until Xia Shiming left, Xia Ziying still looked dull and looked at the door blankly, as if she could see something.
After a cup of tea, Xia Ziying buried her head in tears.
As for why she was crying, was it because she was crying about Xia Shiming's indifference to her, or because she was crying about Xia Shiming's family's abandonment of her, or because she was crying about falling short in her efforts, getting all the benefits, and being scolded by Xia Shiming. This, except for herself Except, no one knows.
Two days later, Xia Zihan sent Tianzhuang. There were two copies, one was given to Xia Ziying by her, and the other was given to Xia Ziying by the Chu family. However, she did not come, saying that she was not feeling well and suffered from pain. Because of the cold weather, I was afraid of leaving the guests here, so I didn't come. I only sent Nanny Yu and Si Cao.
Due to Xia Ziying's scandal, not many people came to give gifts. The few that Si Cao saw were only the few families who got along well with the Xia family.
The wives of the Qian family, the Zhang family, the Xiang family, and the Wei family didn't come. They all sent their personal mothers, and none of the girls from the families came. They all sent their maids to bring makeup. .
Therefore, Xia Ziying's room was crowded with maids and maids, and there was no serious master. The eldest lady Liu, who had already dressed decently and put a lot of effort into dressing up to receive guests, was so embarrassed and ashamed that she You can't show it yet, you can't express dissatisfaction yet.
Otherwise, you will have to offend the public.
As for the few scandals Xia Ziying has done, any one of them will make people salivate. These families came to send makeup for Xia Shiming's sake. Otherwise, I'm afraid no one would Won't come.
