Xie Yuan's expression was indifferent, and after listening to the old lady Xie's complaint, he did not change at all. He drank the tea in his cup and looked at his old lady expectantly.
"Is mother finished?"
The old lady Xie choked suddenly, she didn't know how she gave birth to such a boring gourd who couldn't beat a fart with a stick, it didn't matter to outsiders, to her family, and to her mother.
Old Madam Xie didn't like to ask Xie Yuan to come to her on weekdays, she was afraid that she would be pissed to death sooner or later if she asked a question and I answered it directly.
"Tell me, are you stupid when you study? You are so taciturn, and it's the same with An'er. You are his father." Madam Xie was depressed, she couldn't help changing the topic, and began to accuse Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan was unmoved, it was not the first time he heard such words from his mother's mouth, anyway, he just pretended not to hear them.
However, I followed my mother's wishes, married Tang Lihua, and had children. In other respects, Xie Yuan would not just follow.
"I hired Mr. Xie for him, and now he is studying in the Imperial College, and I will also take the exam when I come back from school. The son asks himself that he has fulfilled his father's responsibility, what does mother want from me?" Xie Yuan looked at the old lady Xie with a cold look. .
The old lady Jiang Xie was taken aback for a moment, and it's hard to say anything about the next rebuke.
In fact, to be honest, Mrs. Xie is still quite afraid of her son. He put on a straight face, Mrs. Xie always feels that she has done something wrong, and her heart is tight.
The old lady Xie coughed dryly, "I also want you to take care of An'er more. An'er admires you very much. Am I afraid of the division between your fathers?"
Even though they said so, the two people present knew that Xie Yuan and Xie An did not have any kindness and filial piety at all, just like ordinary Mr. Xie, every time Xie Yuan taught Xie An's homework in the exam, other words nothing.
Every time Mrs. Xie saw her grandson come back with a disappointed face, her heart ached and she could only comfort her.
"That's all, I won't tell you this." Mrs. Xie coughed dryly again and changed the subject.
"I called you here to talk about your daughter-in-law. Does this still look like a daughter-in-law? I asked her to come back nicely. She shamed Mrs. Yu, and she even looked down on me as a mother-in-law." Is it?" Mrs. Xie blurred the point.
What is the reason to invite someone back with a good voice, obviously to embarrass Tang Lihua.
But even if Xie Yuan knew the truth, he probably wouldn't have any reaction. He had no feelings for Tang Lihua, and marrying her was just forced by his mother, and he couldn't be with the one he really loved.
And the Xie family really cannot live without heirs, he can and is willing to wait for that person his whole life, but his mother and the Xie family can't afford to wait.
Thinking of this, Xie Yuan's eyes darkened, and his expression became more icy.
"Then bring her back."
The old lady Xie was so proud that she knew her son would be on her side.
However, the eye drops were not fully applied yet, so the old lady Xie put on a full expression, no longer thinking about the anger just now, but sighed deeply.
"But she should be angry in her heart. If she wants to go back to her mother's house, she can live there. It's just..."
Xie Yuan frowned and looked at his mother, waiting for her next words.
Sure enough, the old lady Xie paused for a moment, and then continued, "It's just that she is still a girl from the Xie family. She is about to leave the court. It is not appropriate to live in the grandfather's house. After all, there are men in the Tang family. lossy.
So I thought, if your daughter-in-law doesn't want to come back after three days, you can go and bring Yirou back, that's fine. "
Xie Yuan frowned a little, and finally felt that what his mother said was reasonable, so he nodded in response.
"Everything is obeyed by mother."
The old lady Xie smiled with satisfaction, her goal was achieved, and when Tang Lihua comes back in the future, let's see what kind of happy life she has.
"It's done. You just came back from the court. You must be tired. I called you here in such a hurry. You go back and change your clothes. I asked the kitchen to make soup. You must drink it." Mrs. Xie knew that her son had always He was very busy, so he simply let him go.
Xie Yuan responded, and left.
Tang Lihua was not interested in guessing about Mrs. Xie's little thoughts.
Tang Lihua actually couldn't understand why Mrs. Xie had so much hostility towards Yuanchen. In the beginning, before Yuanchen was pregnant, the way Yuanchen and Xie Yuan got along was to respect each other as guests.
Mrs. Xie couldn't get used to it at that time. It can be said that Mrs. Xie didn't like her son being taken away.
This kind of heart is also common. After all, throughout the ages, most of the conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law come from. The mother feels that the son has married a daughter-in-law and forgets the old mother.
But later, after Yuanchen gave birth to two children, Xie Yuan refused to see Yuanchen again. Yuanchen was wronged, and he was also a pitiful person.
At this time, old lady Xie's opinions on Yuanshen became even bigger. What she said inside and outside said that Yuanshen was incompetent, so she didn't like her husband.
This gets along well with her son, the old lady doesn't like it, and she still doesn't like it if they don't get along.
Tang Lihua really didn't know what the old lady wanted before she was satisfied.
But it's okay, anyway, Tang Lihua doesn't need her to be satisfied.
Living peacefully in her natal family, Tang Lihua also met Yuan's father and elder brother afterwards.
In the past two days, when Mrs. Liu was having meals, someone would always pass Tang Lihua and Xie Yirou together.
Tang Lihua was also so happy. After the previous conversation with Liu Shi, the two had reached a consensus.
After Tang Lihua returned to Xie's Mansion, Xie Yirou would stay here.
Because Mrs. Liu was very patient, Xie Yirou also gradually let go of her heart, but the time was still too short.
Tang Lihua already has a plan, and during this period of time, she will slowly cultivate, so that Xie Yirou can be safe and sound when she is not defending herself.
So when there was a gap, Tang Lihua took Xie Yirou and Liu Shi to spend more time together, and Liu Shi was willing to let Xie Yirou accompany her even when she was in charge of reconciliation of accounts.
Because of this, Tang Lihua discovered an unexpected thing. Xie Yirou seemed to be very sensitive to numbers, and she could hear the problems with the numbers just by listening to the people below reconciling the accounts with Mrs. Liu.
Tang Lihua didn't remember Yuanzheng had taught Xie Yirou this knowledge before, and later learned from Xie Yirou that she taught it by herself.
This made Tang Lihua even more surprised. If you don't have someone to answer your questions about mathematics, it would be a waste of time to figure it out by yourself.
And Tang Lihua did indeed find a vague impression in the original body's memory.
Yuanshen was afraid that his daughter would pretend to be sick, and it would be boring to stay in his yard every day, so he found time to teach her to read and write.
When Xie Yirou was able to read some poems, she brought many books and let Xie Yirou read them to pass the time. One of those books was about arithmetic.
Xie Yirou was fascinated watching it, and this is how this scene happened.
After saying all this, Xie Yirou twisted her fingers anxiously, for fear that she would be reprimanded by her mother, which would make her feel more uncomfortable than if she was really sick.
Tang Lihua saw her uneasiness, and gently rubbed her hair, "Rou'er is really a smart child, Rou'er is amazing. Mother is very happy."
Xie Yirou's eyes lit up all of a sudden, as she praised her mother.
Seeing the innocent appearance of her granddaughter, Liu's heart warmed up, "If Rou'er likes it, I will ask the female teacher to teach you."
Xie Yirou looked at her mother hesitantly when she heard the words, not knowing whether she should agree to the words.
Tang Lihua also encouraged her to look at her.
In the end, Xie Yirou shyly accepted her grandmother's kindness, and got closer to her grandmother.
The atmosphere of the few people is very harmonious, although it is still bright, but after a while, it will be time for dinner.
Mrs. Liu is asking her granddaughter what she likes to eat so that she can prepare it earlier in the small kitchen.
At this time, a servant girl walked in from the outside, "Old Madam, Mrs. Xie came to visit the house and said that he wanted to take Miss Biao home."
Mrs. Liu was still smiling, but the smile on her face faded when she heard this.
Before Mrs. Liu could say anything, Tang Lihua spoke first, "Mother, let my daughter solve this matter by herself."
Mrs. Liu glanced at her, then nodded silently.
Tang Lihua comforted Xie Yirou with a smile, and led by the maid, went to the outer hall in the front yard to entertain guests.
Before stepping in, he heard a tall and straight man standing with his back on his back, as if admiring the picture of plum blossoms hanging on the wall, looking fascinated.
This person is Xie Yuan.
To say that Yuan Chen is not familiar with Xie Yuan anymore, after all, she and Xie Yuan have not met many times in the past ten years, and the impression has been blurred.
The original body's impression of Xie Yuan was still on the wedding night, that handsome gentleman in the red robe.
So when Xie Yuan turned around, Tang Lihua saw the indifferent expression on his face, which had changed from greenness to precipitation.
The subconscious is to frown.
Xie Yuan was slightly stunned when he saw Tang Lihua, but it was only for a moment, and he quickly returned to normal.
"Where's Rou'er?" Xie Yuan said without much greeting.
Tang Lihua didn't reply to him, but sat down unhurriedly, ignoring Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan frowned slightly, he really didn't want to waste time here, he just wanted to receive someone earlier and return home earlier.
"I want to take Rou'er home and let her come out." Xie Yuan's tone was very cold, not at all like the gentleness a father should have when talking about his daughter.
Tang Lihua sneered, and looked at Xie Yuan with sarcasm in her eyes, "Who is Rou'er, and what does it have to do with you, did Mr. Xie come to the Tang family's mansion today to say these inexplicable words
If so, then Mr. Xie can leave, I have no interest in what you have to say. "
Xie Yuan was very impatient with Tang Lihua's attitude and tone, and also had a displeased expression on his face.
He didn't have much patience with women other than Lin Wan, so patiently waiting until now was the most he could tolerate.
"Don't continue to mess around. If you want to stay in the Tang Mansion, I won't stop it. It's just that Rou'er wants to go back with me. She is a daughter. It's inconvenient to live in the Tang Mansion. You should know how to behave. "
Tang Lihua wanted to laugh, and she really did. She couldn't imagine how thick-skinned Xie Yuan was, to say such a thing.
Ever since Xie Yirou was born, Xie Yuan has never cared for Xie Yirou, and he has never fulfilled the responsibility of being a father. Doesn't he find it ridiculous to say this now
Tang Lihua looked at Xie Yuan with great interest, and asked directly, "Don't you feel ashamed when you say such things?"
Xie Yuan was taken aback by the question, and immediately understood the sarcasm in Tang Lihua's words, his face became a little colder, he had completely lost the patience to continue entanglement with Tang Lihua.
"No matter what you want to say, as long as I am still Rou'er's father, I can bring her back to Xie's residence." Xie Yuan's attitude became tough.
Tang Lihua immediately turned cold, put away all the expressions on her face, and met Xie Yuan's eyes coldly.
One of them was standing and the other was sitting, but Tang Lihua who was sitting was no less imposing than Xie Yuan, and even faintly wanted to push Xie Yuan down.
Xie Yuan was a little startled, he looked at Tang Lihua, this person seemed to have changed a bit.
"Then I'll tell you, Xie Yuan, as long as I, Tang Lihua, are here, you will never even think about taking Rou'er away from the Tang residence." Tang Lihua's tone became even colder.
There's no need to be polite to such a disgusting thing as Xie Yuan.
"What do you mean?" Xie Yuan's face was gloomy. Before coming here, he never thought that one day, Tang Lihua would talk to him like this.
"What do I mean? Is it possible that you can't see it? You Xie family doesn't take my mother and daughter seriously. Every time you bully me, you really think that I will always be weak. I used to think about avoiding as much as I can. Family and everything prosper.
Now that I think about it, I was the one who treated the beast as a human being and thought highly of you. I, Tang Lihua, would cherish your Naxie Mansion if you thought you were something. "Tang Lihua's eyes were full of sarcasm, and she spoke very bluntly.
As for Xie Yuan who was listening, his complexion became extremely ugly all of a sudden, he even doubted his ears, whether he had heard what Tang Lihua said just now.
How dare she, how dare she say such a thing.
A sense of humiliation rushed into his heart. Xie Yuan had never been ridiculed like this before. A dark light flashed in his eyes. If he was not in the Tang Mansion now, Xie Yuan would definitely not let Tang Lihua do this.
Tang Lihua was so unscrupulous precisely because it was in her own territory.
If in the Xie Mansion, the strength and status were not equal, she would be locked up in the courtyard if she dared to speak like that.
At that time, it will be difficult for people to spread the word, that is, to the extent that every day should not be called and the ground will not work.
This is really not Tang Lihua's exaggeration, Yuanshen is in the Xie Mansion, she is the mistress on the surface, but none of the servants, except Yuanshen brought her there, sincerely regard her as the mistress.
"Do you know what you're talking about?" Xie Yuan stared at Tang Lihua with a sullen face, not letting go of any expression on her face.
Tang Lihua looked at him with more sarcasm, and said in surprise, "Master Xie has been an official for a long time, so the problem of deafness and blindness has become more serious?"
Xie Yuan snorted coldly, unable to maintain his calm any longer, "Tang Lihua, don't go too far, don't forget your own identity."
Tang Lihua was even more surprised, "What is my identity, why don't Master Xie tell me, after decades in Xie's house, I really don't know what my identity is."
"A tool for you, Xie Yuan, to have children, or a poor creature who allows your Xie family to bully you?" Tang Lihua asked with a sincere face.
Xie Yuan's tone froze, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"It's really sharp and sharp. I really don't know when you have such eloquence. It's really hard for you to hide it for so long." Of course, Xie Yuan would not let Tang Lihua continue talking.
Tang Lihua straightened her expression and sneered, "Do you want me to remind Mr. Xie again, then I will waste a little more time."
"With all due respect, it's not me who hides, but you, ears, deaf, eyes, and blind."
