Chapter 300 Uncovering the True Origin of Xia Chuanyuan
In Rongfu Hall, Liu Xiangxue was cutting the snow pear with her own hands, and then cut it into pieces and handed it to Xie.
Xie Shi ate it with a smile, took out a small box from the cabinet beside him and said, "Open it and have a look."
Liu Xiangxue has come to Rongfu Hall every day to please Xie's money in the past few days. Liu Xiangxue has seriously thought about it. If it hadn't been for Xie, she wouldn't have become like this. Before she left, she must take away Xie's money.
Now that Xie Shi was finally moved by herself, Liu Xiangxue was secretly happy and said, "Gunshe, Xiangxue can't accept such a valuable thing from you."
Xie Shi frowned. She hadn't told Liu Xiangxue that she wanted to give it to her, let alone what was in it. Now Liu Xiangxue's blurted out this sentence really made Xie's opinion on Liu Xiangxue greatly discounted.
Xie's face was not exposed, but said lightly, "Open it and have a look."
Liu Xiangxue suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and stretched out her hand to open the box. The box was full of gold, silver and jade ornaments. In this way, she suddenly appeared in front of Liu Xiangxue, which really shook Liu Xiangxue's eyes.
Liu Xiangxue was ecstatic, but she tried extremely hard to suppress her emotions. She handed the box to Xie and said, "How can Xiangxue accept such a valuable thing as grandma?"
Xie frowned and reached out to take it. Liu Xiangxue was shocked. She thought it was given to her by Xie. It was reasonable for her to refuse it again, but she didn't expect Xie to really take it back.
Liu Xiangxue really regretted it at this moment. At this time, she saw Xie reach out and take a string of honey-colored glazed beads from the box and handed it to her, saying, "I don't have any jewelry when I see you. You take this."
Liu Xiangxue did not dare to refuse at this moment. She hurriedly reached out to take it and thanked her repeatedly.
Xie Shi narrowed her eyes and smiled and said, "I have been in the seat of the mother of the Xia family for most of my life. I have saved a lot of gold and silver. As long as you are obedient, you will be indispensable in the future."
Liu Xiangxue was disdainful, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She nodded hurriedly and said with a smile, " Grandma, Xiangxue will peel an apple for you."
As the two were talking, they heard the footsteps outside the door. Xiao Liuzi lifted the curtain and came in. When he saw Xie, he bent down and saluted, "Madam, I asked me to invite you to the front hall."
Xie frowned, "Oh? What's the matter?"
Xiao Liuzi smiled and said, "How can I know?"
Xie Shi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you go out and wait first. I'll be there in a minute."
Xiao Liuzi turned around and walked out. Liu Xiangxue said anxiously, "Grandpa, will the old master know about the second master?"
Xie Shi shook his head, "It doesn't matter. I'll go and have a look first."
The two went out with each other. Xiao Liuzi had already waited outside the door. Seeing Xie and Liu Xiangxue coming, Xiao Liuzi bent down and stretched out his hand and said, "Old lady, please."
When the three masters and servants came to the front hall, they saw Xia Chuanyuan sitting on the top, and Xia Mengning was also sitting in the other seats. It was the elders of the clan.
When Xia Chuanyuan saw Xie's arrival, he said, "Go down, little sixth son, go and guard the door. No one is allowed to come in."
Seeing this situation, Xie asked, "Yuan'er, why are you so nervous?"
Xia Chuanyuan didn't pay attention to her, but turned his head to the elders beside him and said, "Six elders, let everyone come today. There is something important to tell you. As for what it is, the elders will know after reading these letters."
With that, Xia Chuanyuan took out a bunch of letters from his sleeve and handed them to several elders.Several elders read it and were shocked. One of them said, "Yuan'er, where did you get these letters?"
Before Xia Chuanyuan said anything, Xia Mengning, who was sitting aside, stood up and said, "Six elders, these letters are from Ning'er to his father."
Several elders knew Xia Mengning. Seeing that Xia Mengning stood up, they were also busy getting up to salute. Xia Mengning waved her hand and said, "Presumably several elders know the second wife Qian. The night before she died, she came to me and asked me to help her take care of her daughter. In exchange, it was these that she had secretly stayed. The letter that came down.
Several elders discussed it and said, "Xie Shi, have you hidden anything about Yuaner's life?"
As soon as this was asked, Xie felt that her whole body trembled. She hurriedly reached out and clenched the palm of her hand. The pain from her palm calmed her down a little, and then she said angrily, "Nonsense, Yuan'er is my son. What can I hide?"
Several elders looked at each other in consters, and the speaker said, "Are these letters all yours?"
With that, the talking elder stood up, walked to Xie, and handed the letter to Xie. Xie Shi looked at it and sweated coldly. Naturally, she was very familiar with these letters. Isn't this the letter she wrote to Xia Chuansheng a few years ago? She thought that Xia Chuansheng had been destroyed after reading it. Who would have thought that she was left behind by Qian, a bitch.
Xie's face turned pale and said fiercely, "No, I don't know whose letters belong to. Anyway, they are not mine."
Xie Shi said that the muscles on his face couldn't help shaking a few times, but he still maintained his composure.
At this time, Xia Chuanyuan, who was sitting beside him, said, "Is it your own handwriting? Just compare the Buddhist scriptures you copied!"
Xie Shi was stunned and looked at Xia Chuanyuan. He saw that the peace of the past had faded in Xia Chuanyuan's eyes. Now when he looked at her, he was full of anger.
Xie was shocked, tried to endure the fear in her heart, and said, "Nonsense, do you know what you're talking about now? Are you doubting me?"
Xia Chuanyuan didn't care at all and said calmly, "It's true or not. You will know as long as you test it."
Xie Shi roared, "No, no... You are insulting me like this... I don't allow it, I definitely don't allow it..."
Xie's guilty appearance made several elders frown. At this time, Xia Mengning was a light judo: "Even if I don't check the old lady's handwriting, it happens that I have invited an old friend. I must remember him."
Xie was stunned and saw a man coming out after the screen. Xie opened his eyes wide and looked at the man in horror. His face turned pale and he couldn't say a word.
The man, dressed in an ordinary coarse linen coat, went to the center of the hall and knelt down. "Li Tian, a grassman, knock on the Prime Minister, knock on the Princess Hehe."
Several elders were puzzled, and one of them asked, "Princess, is this person?"
Before Xia Mengning could speak, she saw Xie pick up the tea bowl beside him and throw it on the man. "Get out of here, get out of here..."
Li Tian hidged sideways, and the teacup broke behind him. Several elders looked unhappy and said, "Xie, don't be presumptuous!"
Xie Shi gasped and sat on the chair pale, but a pair of turbid eyes stared at Li Tian fiercely.
Xia Mengning said, "Li Tian, tell your story to some elders."
Li Tian nodded and said, "Caomin Li Tian lives in Xiejiazhuang, Qingshui Township. Thirty-six years ago, Caomin was only three years old at that time. At that time, a mother-in-law came to our village and gave a newborn baby girl to my mother and gave her a hundred taels of silver. She asked her mother to take good care of the girl. Gradually Gradually, in the next few years, the old lady and this woman often came to my house to live. They all came to visit the girl. When Cao Min was twenty-three years old, she married this girl. A year later, she had a daughter. After getting married, she told Cao Min that the rich old lady who came to our family was actually her biological mother, just because she was a daughter and could not be raised by her side, so she was sent out to raise her. Three years later, our daughter was three years old. That year, she was in time for a big flood in her family. She contracted a bad disease and died. I had no choice but to sell my daughter to be a maid in a large family. Then I went to someone else's house to work alone and survived.
After saying that, the man said, "That old lady is the one sitting there, and there is also a woman... but she is not here..."
Several elders listened and turned to look at Xie, and saw that Xie was already sitting on the chair like dead ashes.
Xia Mengning whispered, "Thirty-six years ago, it was when my father was born."
Xia Chuanyuan's face turned pale. He walked to Xie step by step and said coldly, "Tell me, whose child am I?"
Xie looked at Xia Chuanyuan and shouted, "Nonsense, it's all nonsense. Is it false that you are my son? Can you prove this only by the words of this unknown person? It's ridiculous... It's ridiculous..."
Xia Mengning looked at it coldly. She didn't expect that Xie would still be so desperate at this time. At that time, she said, "Dad, Chen's mother has been waiting for a long time. Presumably Chen's mother's words will not be nonsense."
Xie's face was stunned and she looked at the door in disbelief. Sure enough, it was Mrs. Chen who came in.
Xie's heart sank like a big stone and screamed, "Don't talk nonsense. Your family's life is still in my hands. If you dare to talk nonsense, I will kill your whole family."
Such cruel and ruthless words made everyone present frown. How did Xie sit in this seat in the main room?
Chen's mother was a little embarrassed to testify against Xie on the spot. Anyway, she had served her all her life. Even if Xie sacrificed her son cruelly, Chen's mother still did not dare to confront him face to face.
But now that Xie Shi said such words openly, it really once again chilled Chen's mother's heart to a deeper extent. Chen's mother knelt on the ground and said, "What he said was heard by the old slave in the back. It's true that there was no false words."
Mother Chen came forward and knelt on the ground and said, "Thirty-six years ago, the old slave served in front of the old lady. At that time, the old lady was the old man's main room. The old lady was pregnant with another aunt in the house, but on the day of childbirth, the old lady found that she was pregnant with a The female baby, the aunt gave birth to a real male baby. The old lady was afraid of losing the old man's heart. Because at that time, the aunt was also very favored by the old man, so the old lady threatened the life of the aunt's family, forced the aunt to give the child to her, and then gave the aunt a sum of money and sent her out. In the capital, he told the old man that the aunt had a stillborn child, and the old man did not pursue it and gave up looking for the aunt. The old lady thought she would not be pregnant again, but she was pregnant again after two years, and she actually got a man in one fell swoop.
As soon as the elders of several clans heard this, they immediately looked at Xie with bad eyes. Xie looked at Chen's mother in disbelief, and his hands trembling, "You... you old bastard... Why did you hurt me..."
Chen's mother took a look at Xie, turned around and knelt down to Xia Chuanyuan. She kowtowed and said, "Sir, what I said is true, and there is no lie."
Xia Chuanyuan nodded and said to several elders, "Six elders, what should I do with Xie now?"
The elder who spoke at the beginning listened and said, "According to the rules of the clan, such deception should be punished with a serious crime, that is, to expel the genealogy and drive them out of the house."
As soon as the elder finished speaking, several people around him agreed. Xie shouted palely, "You are bold. I'm the mistress of the Xia family. Who dares to drive me away?"
Xia Chuanyuan turned around and said, "Do you dare to catch up? It's up to you!"
At this time, Xia Mengning stood up and bowed to Xia Chuanyuan and said, "Dad, although she has committed a heinous crime, now she is also old. Besides, it is not easy to publicize this family ugliness. If she is kicked out of the house, she will definitely have resentment. At that time, the words will be publicized everywhere, to our shadow It doesn't sound good."
An elder of the clan next to him listened and nodded and said, "What the princess said is reasonable."
Xia Chuanyuan turned his head and asked, "What did Yi Ning'er see? What should she do with Xie?"
Xia Mengning turned her head and looked at Xie and said, "If you commit such a crime, you should repent in front of the Buddha. It's better to lock her in the Buddhist hall and spend the rest of your life with the green lantern ancient Buddha."
Xia Chuanyuan thought for a moment and nodded and said, "It's just what you said."
After saying that, Xia Chuanyuan turned his head and looked at the elders of the clan and said, "Now that the facts have been revealed, the younger generation can't serve as the head of the Xia family. Please ask several elders to discuss and choose one of the same generation in the clan to serve."
I didn't expect Xia Chuanyuan to say such a thing. Several elders were stunned. For a long time, one of the elders stood up and said, "Today's matter does not affect you to continue to be the head of the family. You are also a descendant of the Xia family, and now you have been in the position of the head of the family for so many years. What's more, the princess is going to get married next year. If your identity is no longer there, it will also have an impact on the princess.
Several elders all echoed, and Xia Mengning also stood up and said, "Dad, you'd better sit at ease, not for the sake of others, but also for the sake of your daughter and younger brother and mother."
Xia Chuanyuan looked at Xia Mengning and the crowd, and finally nodded, "Thank you for your support and love."
As soon as this matter passed, the whole prime minister's house seemed to have changed. Xia Mengning released Chen's mother's son that night and threw Xia Chuansheng, who was knocked unconscious, into the cell.
Liu and Xia Mengrong had no support. They wanted to find Xie, but they were imprisoned in the Buddhist hall, and no one could visit him.
Liu and Xia Mengrong had to turn around anxiously, so they had to ask Wei for help.
In the Yuyan Pavilion, Wei looked at Liu and Xia Mengrong and said with a smile, "Now that the master in our house has the final say, how can I say anything?"
Liu Shi smiled and said, "You are different. You have a son. I don't ask for anything else now. Rong'er is now fourteen years old, and it's time to discuss marriage. But at this time, everyone is willing to take care of our mother and daughter. What should we do?"
Wei smiled and said, "It's easy to say this. It just depends on whether you can do it or not."
With that, Wei took a bag of powder from the cabinet next to him and handed it to Liu, "This is a crane red from the Western Regions. As long as you take it to Xia Mengning to drink, Xia Mengning will die, and the house will let us do it."
Liu didn't say anything, but Xia Mengrong hurriedly said, "No, if Xia Mengning dies, then we can't get rid of it."
Wei smiled and said, "It's life or death. I mean to give this road to you. Whether to go or not, the decision is in your own hands."
Liu hesitated for a moment and said ruthlessly, "Okay, success or failure. If it succeeds, you should remember to promise me."
Wei agreed with a smile.
Liu and Xia Mengrong returned to Moxiang Pavilion. Xia Mengrong said in a hurry, "Auntie, this is too risky. We can't take risks."
Liu Shi sighed and said, "Rong'er, I know this matter is risky, but if we don't do this, what can we do?"
Xia Mengrong also looked sad, "Auntie, why do you think our lives are so miserable?"
Liu hugged Xia Mengrong and cried, "Rong'er, don't worry, my aunt will let you marry a good man."
At night, Xia Mengning wore a cloak and went to the Buddhist hall behind the Rongfu Hall with Jiuer to visit Xie, who was worshiping the Buddha with piety.
Entering Rongfu Hall, Chen's mother saw Xia Mengning coming and hurriedly smiled and said, "Miss San is here."
Xia Mengning nodded and said, "You stay here. I'll go in and have a look at Xie."
Chen's mother nodded, and Xia Mengning walked in with Jiu'er.
Jiu'er walked ahead and stretched out her hand to open the door for Xia Mengning. No one cleaned the Buddhist hall. As soon as she walked in, she felt a heavy smell of dust. Xia Mengning covered her mouth and nose with a veil and looked around carefully before she walked in.
Xie was sitting on the bed. The former decorations and a group of maids and women were no longer there. She was the only one in the Buddhist hall. Hearing the footsteps, Xie raised her eyelids and looked at it. Seeing that it was Xia Mengning, Xie's disdainfully snorted coldly, "What, are you here to show off your power with me?"
Xia Mengning patted the dust on the couch with a handkerchief. Then Shi Shiran sat down and looked at Xie Shi and said with a smile, "What, does the old lady think Ning'er has this spare time to show off her power with you?"
Xie Shi opened his eyes and looked at Xia Mengning and said, "I didn't think that you, a stinky girl, could be alone. If I had known that you were like this now, I should have strangled you in the first time."
Jiu'er hurried forward and said sharply, "Be presumptuous!"
Xia Mengning shook her hand with a smile, "Don't be angry, old lady. Ning'er came here today to tell you a good news. Ning'er had rescued Chen's mother's son yesterday and locked the real sinner in."
