Nan Dongbei glanced at Nan Xi and once again assessed Nan Xi in his heart.
Nan Dongbei knew that Nan Xi was unwilling, but Yang Xian had taken her body after all. It was unavoidable for him to be irresponsible. He looked at Yang Xian and asked, "Xian 'er, what do you think?"
Hearing Nan Dongbei's question, Yang Xian subconsciously looked up at Nan Xi.
Seeing Nan Xi's gloomy expression, he said without thinking, "I'll listen to Mother."
It was clearly Yang Xian who had slept with someone else's woman, and now Nan Dongbei was asking him what he planned to do, but he said he would listen to Mother. Nan Dongbei's expression instantly became indescribable.
Yang Xian was almost twenty years old, and he couldn't even decide whether to take a concubine. It was clear that Nan Xi's previous praises were all false.
But Nan Dongbei couldn't do such a thing to send someone to his nephew's room. For a moment, they froze.
Jiujiu spoke at this time.
"For Cousin and Bi Lian to be together, it must be because they already have feelings for each other. Now that Bi Lian is of good birth, a gentleman should fulfill his wish. Why don't you let my father take Bi Lian as his goddaughter? This way, our relationship as master and servant will be fulfilled, and Bi Lian and Brother's fate will be fulfilled."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she looked at Nan Dongbei. "What does Father think?"
Nan Dongbei had always felt that a man who had taken a woman's body should be responsible for her. Hearing Jiujiu's question, he immediately nodded and said, "Of course it's excellent."
Nan Dongbei and Nan Dongbei agreed after Jiujiu spoke. If they continued to insist on not letting Yang Xian take Bi Lian as his concubine, it would probably be because they didn't know how to appreciate favors.
Even though she was furious, Nan Xi could only endure her disgust and nod with an ugly expression.
As for Yang Xian, since he couldn't marry Jiujiu, he naturally blamed this on Bi Lian. His gaze towards Bi Lian became a bit more hateful.
As for Bi Lian, she was immersed in the fact that she could become Yang Xian's concubine. Moreover, she would be Nan Dongbei's goddaughter. She was overjoyed and repeatedly kowtowed in thanks.
Because Nan Dongbei and Li Guiqin were disgusted by Nan Xi, Yang Xian and Bi Lian's conduct, they had Steward Li prepare some items for Bi Lian as dowry that day and sent the three out.
Bi Lian was overjoyed, thinking that she would become a young madam after marrying him. In the end, she was slapped the moment the carriage left the marquis's estate.
Bi Lian looked up and saw Nan Xi's blood-red eyes glaring at her with hatred. She wanted nothing more than to skin her alive.
Bi Lian was arrogant in front of the maids and servants, but in front of Nan Xi, who was truly arrogant, she instantly wilted.
Although she had slapped Bi Lian, Nan Xi was still furious. She slapped Yang Xian again.
Nan Xi said in annoyance, "Usually, when you're out drinking and fooling around with women, have I ever said a word about you?
What did I tell you before we came? Your uncle only has one daughter, Nan Xiang. In the future, everything in his family will belong to Nan Xiang. As long as you marry Nan Xiang, not to mention glory and wealth, even the Lord Protector's Manor will be yours.
You, on the other hand, made a fool of yourself. Now, you're even together with this shady woman. I praise you to your aunt every day, but in the end, you backstabbed me. Since you're so disappointing, I won't care about you anymore in the future. "
No matter how angry Nan Xi was in the past, she had never said that she wouldn't care about him anymore. Yang Xian instantly panicked. He couldn't care less about covering his face as he hurriedly crawled to Nan Xi's side and knelt down to beg for mercy. "Mother, son knows his mistake."
Yang Xian thought about that night with Bi Lian and couldn't help but say to Nan Xi, "Son doesn't dare to forget a word of Mother's words. She was the one who seduced Son."
Yang Xian suddenly pointed at Bi Lian, his eyes full of hatred. "That day, your son had already fallen asleep. It was her who came to find your son in disheveled clothes. Your son only spoke a few words with her before he became delirious. When he woke up, Mother was already in the room."
Yang Xian cried as he said, "Now that Son thinks about it, Son was tricked by this woman."
In a mother's eyes, her son was naturally the best.
In Nan Xi's eyes, her son was naturally the best.
At this moment, she heard Yang Xian say that he was tricked by Bi Lian.
After experiencing the tricks of the concubines in her husband's backyard, Nan Xi instantly thought of Bi Lian drugging Yang Xian.
What kind of woman had her son not seen before?
No matter how desperate he was, he wouldn't be in such a hurry. This woman must have drugged Yang Xian and made him want her body. Otherwise, why would Yang Xian be so inconsiderate?
Nan Xi glared fiercely at Bi Lian and raised her hand to slap her again. She gritted her teeth and said, "You slut, see how I'll deal with you when we get back."
When she came out with Yang Xian and his mother, Bi Lian thought that she was going to have a good life. Only when Nan Xi and Yang Xian fell out did she realize that the mother and son were clearly pushing all the blame onto her.
Bi Lian's face instantly turned pale.
After Bi Lian left, Li Guiqin specially came to talk to Jiujiu for a while.
She probably told Jiujiu not to be sad, and also told Jiujiu to interact less with Nan Xi and Yang Xian's relatives in the future.
Li Guiqin also started to investigate the people in the backyard. In this way, she really did discover a few people who had dirty hands.
Because of what happened with Bi Lian, Li Guiqin didn't dare to continue keeping these people. She directly had Steward Li call for a slave trader to sell them out.
As for Bi Lian.
Yang Xian and his mother hated Bi Lian because they couldn't be with Jiujiu. Bi Lian's life was naturally very difficult.
As expected, evil people would be dealt with by evil people.
Soon, it was winter.
This year, the Emperor specially ordered Nan Dongbei to go to the capital for the New Year.
In the past, Nan Dongbei would go alone. Because of what happened to Nan Xi at the beginning of this year, Nan Dongbei was afraid that Nan Xi would send an invitation to bring Yang Xian to visit again. Thinking of Yang Xian's character, Nan Dongbei directly brought Jiujiu and Li Guiqin to the capital for the New Year.
Nan Dongbei's marquis's estate was only three to four hundred li away from the capital. The three of them walked and stopped, and arrived at the capital in half a month.
Nan Dongbei had a residence in the capital. When the Emperor gave the decree, he had already sent people to tidy it up, and they just happened to be able to stay there.
In the past, Nan Dongbei would go alone and basically didn't have any social gatherings. It was rare for Nan Dongbei to bring his wife and daughter this year, so the noble ladies in the capital began to send Li Guiqin invitations, inviting her to a gathering.
Li Guiqin wanted to decline, but she couldn't do anything about the high status of the people who sent her invitations. She could only dress up and attend the banquet.
Li Guiqin and Nan Dongbei were both born in the countryside.
Nan Dongbei had been in the capital for several years and was able to remain unfazed by honor and disgrace. However, this was Li Guiqin's first time here.
Even though she had already put on her best clothes and tried her best to make herself look more like the others, she still looked out of place with the others.
