”Are you crazy!?”
Xie Cen felt a burst of rumbling in his head. Using his instincts to save Chan Er, who was under the Lady Xu's demonic claws, the blood that spurted out from Chan Er's forehead splashed all over the bed.
Xie Cen randomly grabbed a sheet and pressed it on Chan Er's forehead, ”Hurry up and ask for a doctor! ”Someone, pull the lady out for me.”
Only then did everyone rush in, two senior servants supporting Lady Xu from the left and right, saying, ”Madam, quickly stop messing around, let's go back first.”
”Go back? ”Bah!” Lady Xu was completely enraged. Her originally weak wife struggled, but the two mama couldn't stop her, ”See how I beat that shameless little bitch to death!”
”Master, I'm fine.” Chan Er replied as she pressed her forehead and stood up, ”It is only natural for Madam to be angry at me, don't blame her.”
Xie Cen sighed in his heart. In comparison, Lady Xu was like an unreasonable shrew. When Lady Xu saw Chan Er like this, he got angry and pointed at Chan Er's nose, scolding, ”One day when I'm here, don't even think about climbing up to the Aunt's position. I'm going to find Old Madem to negotiate with him!”
The Lady Xu suddenly thought of the Old Madem, because she knew that the Old Madem was strict and was extremely concerned with the matter of Xie Cen's Aunt Na. If the Aunt Zhao wasn't present at that time, he definitely wouldn't have been promoted to be the Aunt.
Since Xie Cen couldn't stop her, he could only let her go. Lady Xu went to Old Madem's place with a stomach full of grievances, and coincidentally, Xie Jingxi paid respects to her early in the morning, so she was also there. They were all shocked by Lady Xu's appearance. Her clothes were torn and messy and there were even palm marks on her face. She was in an extremely sorry state.
”What happened to you?” the old lady asked.
”Mother, you have to uphold justice for my wife. Girl Chan Er in front of my daughter-in-law, last night, while Master was drunk, she entered Master's room, she seduced Master, Master did not even go to court today, if I did not go knocking at the door, I actually did not get up, I felt like I did not properly teach that girl Chan Er a lesson, Master already hit me, you said that he wants to take a look, no matter what, I can let Mother know, it's fine if I discuss it with you, how could you secretly spoil my wife like this!”
Lady Xu knew how to pick the important points, but the two points that Hu Mei wanted her concubine to die was enough for her to be prejudiced. Furthermore, Xie Cen was willing to go to court early for a woman for the first time in his life, this was a matter of principle.
”There is actually such a thing!” Bring me over here and let me take a look. ”
Hearing Lady Xu's description, Xie Jingxi felt that Chan Er should not have done so, but Lady Xu's expression was also muddled, a man at this time cannot speak of fairness and reason, the more he objected, the worse the situation would be, and what's more it was making such a mess.
With regards to the little girl Chan Er, Xie Jingxi had never had a good impression about his. She vaguely remembered that in his previous life, Xie Cen had indeed taken in another aunt, but he didn't really remember who it was. Her marriage was imminent, there was no need for her to wade in this muddy water, thus he accompanied Old Madem, but did not say a word.
Xie Cen had personally brought over a bandaged Chan Er, and no matter how you looked at it, it looked like she was a young wife who had been bullied. The old lady could not bear to see Xie Cen's mischievous attitude, and seeing that Xie Cen loved and cared for his so much, she became even more furious.
”You look perfectly fine. Why didn't you come to court today?”
Speaking to this point, Xie Cen was naturally in the wrong. He lowered his head and said, ”Mother, it was son who indulged himself.”
The Old Granny slammed the table in anger. ”I saw that you've been an official for so many years and swallowed all the things I've taught you into your dog belly. Today, I don't care about anything else. I'll have to apply family law first.”
She did not ask anyone else to do it, and instead took out the house law to do it herself. With a few slaps, the sound of bamboo slapping against flesh made everyone's heart tremble, and no one dared to breathe out.
Everyone said that the Old Madem was stern and strict, but no matter if it was the Lady Xu or Xie Jingxi, no one had ever personally witnessed such a scene. The Pavilion Elder, who was called the wind and rain in the Imperial Court, was now kneeling in front of his mother and accepting the punishment.
Lady Xu, the person who came to complain about this was originally only against Chan Er, who knew that the old lady would not play the cards she wanted, and actually beat Xie Cen up first. The originally pretentious Chan Er was also staring blankly, feeling very nervous, afraid that the old lady would settle this score with her.
After the old lady finished beating up Xie Cen, she was extremely tired herself. Xie Jingxi went forward to support her, ”Grandmother, what are you doing?
