The meaning of this was that as long as Xie Jingqi herself did not become a demon, Marquis Mansion would still be able to give her face and status. Although the Fang family's young miss was brought into the family on behalf of the Grandma Dagu, her status was still incomparable to Xie Jingqi's, and it was to ease the Xie Clan's concerns.
The two families had reached a tacit understanding with regards to this, and the matter of Xie Jingqi getting beaten had been exposed. In the end, it was her fault, as long as she was still in the Marquis Mansion, people in the Xie Family could not fall out with them. It was only natural that they would lower their heads and act rashly.
Xie Jingqi had been recuperating in bed for a few days already, and almost ignored everyone, her silence did not seem like her. When Xie Jingyi came to talk to her, she could only raise her eyelids to prove that she was still alive.
”Big Sis, why are you here? I don't even like cats and dogs here, only you can come.”
Seeing her like this, Xie Jingyi could not bear to continue speaking. Xie Jingqi had been beaten up quite badly, and was still lying on the bed. She was pitiful.
”Don't be so dejected. How many times have I told you that you can't remember? You just have to be beaten up and be good?” Xie Jingyi was also disappointed, ”What fault do you see this time?”
It was fine if he did not ask, but if he did, it would be like exploding gunpowder. The grievances that Xie Jingqi had accumulated were all brought out by these words, she angrily sat up and said loudly: ”All of you can only say that I was wrong, all of you deserve to be scolded and beaten, have any of you seen my grievance! Yes, I admit that you guys are doing this for my own good, in order for me to lay down my plans for the Marquis Mansion, but in the end, my big brother Eldest Miss was done for, and I still became like this. It's good that I'm useless, it's fine that I'm useless even if I'm useless, I'm just like this, and you guys already knew that I was like this at that time, why did you guys have to use any means to marry me into the Marquis Mansion, and marry Xie Jingxi as soon as possible?
Xie Jingyi was startled, she had never seen Xie Jingqi like this before, she had always thought that she was heartless and had never taken their words to heart. Even when she was such a big person, she still did not understand the ways of the world, and felt that she was the one who made the majority of the decisions, but why did no one ever think that, since she was not suitable to live in a clan like Marquis Mansion, why did they have to marry her in the first place?
Even though she knew that it would be a tragedy, she still felt that with the support of her Xie Family, she would be able to marry a few capable senior servants by her side. As long as she could bear it and give birth to a few legitimate sons, she would be able to steadily sit on the Marquis Mansion.
However, since it had already become like this, could it be that they really needed Xie Jingqi and Gu Heng to get away from each other? Even if she agreed to it, would Lady Xu and Xie Cen even agree to it? To marry a young lady of the Fang family with such a large display of Marquis Mansion was equivalent to giving a lot of face to the Xie family. If Xie Jingqi returned to the Xie family with her face covered in dirt, people would have thought that she was being chased back to her family.
Kneeling on the bed, he glared angrily at Xie Jingyi. Xie Jingyi walked over and persuaded her to lie back down on the bed, saying sincerely: ”I know your heart isn't feeling any better than anyone else, but don't go against yourself.”
Xie Jingyi lifted hshe back to check her injuries, and seeing that Xie Jingqi's back was completely green and red, she couldn't help but shiver. No wonder Xie Jingqi was so wronged, Grandma Dagu was too ruthless with her actions, no matter how bad it was for her sister, being beaten up by an outsider was truly irreconcilable. At that moment, Xie Jingyi suddenly had a thought of something, that even if she had to go all out to make others laugh, he would still have to bring Xie Jingqi back.
On Xie Jingqi's back, there were still some faint traces of old wounds. One of them was especially obvious that it was Xie Cen who hit his, that was when Xie Jingqi was only seven or eight years old, that sneaked into Xie Cen's study to burn a few important books. At that time, Xie Cen was so angry that he almost took her life.
But if he did pick her up and bring her home, would her life be better than it was now, and what a position a girl who had been sent home by Hugh had was, the answer seemed to be obvious difficulty.
Xie Jingyi sat back on the bed and spoke to Xie Jingqi with a serious expression: ”Since you have already reached this point, you can't even turn back, you were used to being spoiled in front of your mother in the past, but you still have to walk your own path, if you don't fall a few times, you will never be able to grow old, so I will leave you with your grievances and pride from today onwards, even if it is worse than fate, you are not allowed to give up like this.”
Xie Jingqi moved her head from the pillow, Xie Jingyi continued to speak: ”For our daughter to marry people, all of them are from the father and mother's orders, and some of them are autonomous. If you can't get what the husband likes, you have to manage it all by yourself, you have to be clear, in the future if you don't have a mother's indulgence, you have to be able to set up on your own, that's the true ability, Young Master doesn't have any feelings for you, do you have any feelings for that Lady Fang, why are you abandoning yourself first? As long as you still take over the identity of the Crown Prince's wife, the decision of Marquis Mansion will be yours in the future. You have to treat it as your own life, build good relations with your wife, understand husband's difficulties, be able to live in peace with your aunt and also hold them in your hands. No matter what step you take, it's still up to you to decide.
