In the Xia Hou residence, Shen Rou and Xia Tian Cai kneeled on the ground. Xia Tian Yi's face was ashen as he kicked Shen Rou fiercely, "Slut!" His gaze towards Xia Tian was also filled with hatred.
Xia Cheng held the long whip that was used to enforce the family's discipline. The black and glossy long whip was incomparably thick and sturdy. Because it had been soaked in medicinal liquid for many years, it was exceptionally sturdy. And after every sound, Shen Rou's delicate skin would have a bloody scar.
This action of Xia Tian Cai finally dispelled the last trace of complicated feelings in Xia Tian Yi's heart. He sneered, and his usually stiff expression actually overflowed with a strange smile. He rushed towards Xia Jiaojiao who was screaming and rolling on the ground, "I am not your father. Your father is him, your second uncle! You are a bastard that your mother gave birth to outside with a wild man. Don't call me father! "
Yu Ya's voice was filled with sorrow, "Mother's words are like this, but isn't it a bit too unfair to First Uncle? First Uncle has suffered grievances, but who asked him a single word? "
"Hmph," Xia Tian Cai was quite dissatisfied with Yu Ya. The words that came out of his mouth could not be said to not be malicious, "What you did today, didn't you want Rou 'er to lose face? Are you satisfied now? Yu Ya, to be honest, if it wasn't for your father and the dowry, I would rather marry a prostitute than to marry you. What's so good about you? You are neither gentle nor lovable. Seeing your arrogant appearance all day makes me sick. Do you think that just because you gave birth to a son, you can act like a tyrant in the residence? Let me tell you, your son is not worth mentioning in my eyes. I can still have many sons in the future. In my heart, only Jiaojiao is my daughter … "
Although Xia Tian Cai used to flirt around outside, but Xia Tian Cai was born with a face that could make women happy, and he also knew how to speak beautiful words. Staying in the house, Yu Ya did not do anything out of line. She could be considered to be friendly on the surface. He had never spat out such ear-piercing words in such a loud voice.
Unexpectedly, Xia Tiancai reached out and knocked over the bowl of medicine in Yu Ya's hand. Yu Ya was stunned and immediately became angry. She screamed and shouted, "Xia Tiancai!"
Lu Zhu said a few perfunctory words and returned to Ruan Ju with Jiang Ruan. When they returned, they closed the door and Lian Qiao and Bai Zhi came out to welcome them. Lian Qiao was a straightforward person and took the lead in saying, "Miss, the scandal of the Xia family has now spread throughout the entire capital city. Master also knows about this matter. At the door, he met Second Young Lady who had just returned to the fu. After exchanging a few words, they got into an argument. Second Young Lady is currently in the courtyard reflecting on her mistakes. Master left in a rage."
"Bitch!" Xia Xincai looked at her coldly.
Madam Yao nodded and calmed down. Zhao Yulong, on the other hand, was somewhat doubtful. Jiang Ruan had always done things cleanly and efficiently, and she would not leave behind any evidence that could be used against her. As long as Yu Ya's maidservant was alive, it would be a hidden danger. With Jiang Ruan's ruthlessness, how could she feel at ease leaving a hidden danger by her side? However, her words were always half-true and half-false. Zhao Yulong could not find any evidence and could only keep it in his heart.
Shen Rou raised her eyes slightly and saw that it was her own daughter. With difficulty, she spat out a few words, "... Jiao Jiao, leave quickly."
Xia Jiao Jiao had met with such a mishap, Xia Furen was crying her heart out, and Shen Rou was on the verge of death. Xia Cheng was also not in the mood to continue asking for the family law. He told Xia Xincai to scram back to his courtyard to reflect on his mistakes, and then ordered people to carry Shen Rou into a small room in the backyard and lock her up. Xia Cheng looked at Xia Xincai and was about to speak, but Xia Xincai expressionlessly turned around and left without saying a word.
Jiang Ruan raised her eyebrows. What time was it now? Such a big matter had happened to the Xia family. Since the Jiang fu were in-laws, they would naturally be watched by the common people. Unfortunately, Jiang Su Su was still unaware of the pros and cons of this matter. Returning in the carriage of another family's young master, wouldn't this be sending a handle to the common people for them to gossip about? Everyone would only say that the Xia family's bloodline was ingrained in their bones. Jiang Su Su's actions were equivalent to sending the Jiang fu to be roasted on the fire. Now, the Jiang fu was no longer the same as it was in the past, only allowing entry but not exit. How could it withstand the ridicule of others? No matter how much Jiang Quan doted on Jiang Su Su, he could not help but feel angry.
"I'm not leaving." Xia Jiao Jiao cried even harder. She glared at Xia Cheng and said, "Grandfather, what did Mother do wrong? Why did you beat her up like this? Isn't this asking for Mother's life? "
Looking at Xia Xincai, he no longer had his usual dissolute and unrestrained appearance. However, compared to Shen Rou's injuries, they were much better. She knelt on the ground in a sorry state, and there were also a few wounds on her body. Xia Cheng held a whip in his hand, and his gaze was as if he wanted to devour someone. Xia Jiao Jiao was afraid. She ran to Shen Rou's side in two or three steps and cried, "Mother, what's wrong?"
"I'm not leaving!" Xia Jiao Jiao screamed and turned to look at Xia Xincai, who was standing at the side without saying a word. She hugged Xia Xincai's leg and cried, "Father, Grandfather wants to beat Mother to death. Are you going to stand by and watch? Father, are you really so heartless? "
...
"Don't hit me, don't hit me anymore." Shen Rou wailed. Her clothes had long been tattered by the long whip. Her originally delicate and fair skin was now covered with bloodstains. Her appearance, which was riddled with scars, no longer had her usual beauty. It was nauseating to look at her. Xia Cheng panted and stopped the whip in his hand. Just now, he had lashed out more than ten times in a row, and he already felt that it was somewhat strenuous. Xia Xincai had only been with Shen Rou for so many years. Seeing Shen Rou suffer, at this moment, he felt tender and protective towards the fairer sex. He said to Xia Cheng, "Father, this matter has nothing to do with Rou 'er. It's all your son's fault. Don't hit Rou' er!"
In the end, the servant girl by Yu Ya's side and the servant girl who had previously reported the secret could not be found. Jiang Ruan said, "The servant girl who reported the secret was originally one of my people. As for the servant girl by Second Madam Xia's side, she has been sent to the residence for now. After a few days, she will be sent out of the capital."
Xia Jiaojiao was born beautiful. At this moment, her crying appearance was delicate and lovely. Xia Tian Yi had always doted on her. When Xia Jiaojiao was born, even though she was a daughter, Xia Tian Yi did not feel the slightest bit disappointed. From a young age, Xia Jiaojiao had grown up in a honeypot. Xia Tian Yi had never said a harsh word to her. In the past, when Xia Jiaojiao cried like this, Xia Tian Yi would have been extremely distressed. But today, when he saw Xia Jiaojiao's face, Xia Tian Yi recalled the scene of his beloved wife and second brother making love in bed. Immediately, a wave of anger rose in his heart. He only felt that Xia Jiaojiao's face was exceptionally disgusting. When Xia Jiaojiao saw Xia Tian Yi's expression change, before she could understand, she was kicked away by Xia Tian Yi!
"You have done such a thing. Do you think that father's heart is not angry? Do you think that the Xia Hou fu is a place where you can mess around as you please? " Xia Tian sneered, "Since you are occupying Second Madam Xia's position, you must obediently listen to me!"
Bai Zhi said, "Today, the Xia family can be considered to have a bad reputation. I am afraid that the Eldest Miss of the Xia family will also have to be removed from the list of beauties in the palace."
"Yu Ya, don't forget your own status." Xia Cheng suddenly spoke. Seeing Yu Ya's puzzled expression, he coldly said, "Even if you die, you are still a member of the Xia family."
On the carriage back to the Jiang fu, Yao shi learned from Zhao Feizhou what had been bothering her and thanked Jiang Ruan once again. However, she was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Where did those two servant girls go?"
"What did you say — —" Yu Ya had an impatient temperament and would not admit defeat. She immediately stood up and said, "Xia Tian, you seduced your own sister-in-law, and you still have the face to scold me? What right do you have to scold me? "
Xia Tian Yi also took note of his second brother's actions and his anger soared to the heavens. When a person with a gloomy and stiff temperament really became resentful, no one could have expected that.
When they returned to the fu, Jiang Quan still had not returned. The furens and young ladies looked at Jiang Ruan with a somewhat different gaze. A slightly more courageous old maid pulled Lu Zhu aside and quietly asked, "Eldest Miss Xia is indeed Second Master Xia's daughter."
It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, but once she did, Xia Cheng became even more furious. Thinking that it was this good-for-nothing son and this eldest daughter-in-law who had disgraced public morals that had caused such a big joke in the Xia family, he felt that he could not help but wish that he had never given birth to Xia Tian Cai. Immediately, he lashed out with his long whip and lashed it towards Xia Tian Cai.
Xia Tian Yi was not as dissolute as Xia Tian Cai. Although he did things in a mediocre manner, he was reliable and had never given Xia Cheng any trouble since he was young. The only thing that Xia Cheng was not very satisfied about was that he doted on Shen Rou too much. Even though Shen Rou had only given birth to a daughter for him, Xia Tian Yi did not take in any concubines. Only the two tongfang that Shen Rou had taken in when she was weak still had their status unchanged. And it was Xia Tian Yi's beloved wife who had made him wear such a big green hat. One could imagine Xia Tian Yi's mood. However, Xia Cheng could not let Xia Tian Yi kill Xia Tian Cai. He knew that he had let down his eldest son, so he could only ruthlessly whip Xia Tian Cai to let Xia Tian Yi vent his anger.
"Who are you pretending to be so virtuous for?" Xia Tian Cai laughed mockingly, "If you want, you can go find big brother and see if big brother is willing to spend time with you under the moonlight."
Seeing this, Xia Cheng could not help but be shocked. The calmer Xia Tian Yi appeared, the more uneasy Xia Cheng felt. He was afraid that Xia Tian Yi would do something out of line in a fit of anger. One must know that although Xia Tian Yi did not seem to care, if this matter was placed in the heart of any man, they would not let it go so easily. If Xia Tian Yi had beaten Xia Tian Cai up, it would have been fine, but he did not say anything.
… ….
"Master, don't!" A cry of alarm came from the side. Madam Xia had already rushed over and grabbed Xia Cheng's arm with one hand, saying, "Genius is your son, how can you bear to hit him like this? It's all this woman's fault for seducing the genius. If anything happens to the genius today, I don't want to live anymore. If you want to hit him, then hit me too! "
Just as he was about to make a move, he heard a young girl's delicate voice coming from the hall, "Mother! What happened to you? "
Because Xia Tian Cai was injured, Madam Xia's heart ached for him, so she sent someone to boil some medicine and told Yu Ya to take good care of Xia Tian Cai. Although Yu Ya had a lot of resentment towards Xia Tian Cai, she recognized him as her husband and treated him sincerely. Although she was angry, seeing Shen Rou in this state and Xia Jiaojiao's disfigured face, she felt much better. She then brought the medicine to Xia Tian Cai's bedside and wanted to personally feed Xia Tian Cai.
Madam Xia was speechless. Xia Cheng looked at his eldest son apologetically. Let's not talk about the impact this matter would have on the second branch, but to the first branch, it was like a disaster to Xia Tian Yi. His wife, who he had doted on for many years, had already been wearing a green hat for him for many years. The adulterer was his second brother, and he had even raised someone else's daughter for many years. All these actions, to a man, was undoubtedly a great humiliation. If it was Xia Cheng himself, he would have already killed the dog couple with a knife, to vent the anger in his heart.
Xia Tian Yi's temper was stiff, not as lively and quick-witted as Xia Tian Cai. The old hands in the brothel naturally had a beautiful hand, and usually coaxed Madam Xia to be obedient. Madam Xia doted on her youngest son the most, although she also hated Xia Tian Cai for doing such a shameful thing, seeing Xia Tian Cai getting beaten up made her anxious, and naturally wanted to protect him.
Xia Cheng didn't want Xia Jiaojiao to know about these things, so he said in a deep voice, "Go back to your courtyard, don't come out!"
Seeing Xia Tian protecting Shen Rou like this, Yu Ya, who was watching the show from the side, immediately felt a layer of unwillingness in her heart. She was just a slut, and even at this point, she could still get Xia Tian's pity. She only hated that Xia Cheng didn't beat Shen Rou to death.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events. Shen Rou spat out a mouthful of blood, her vision went black and she fainted. Xia Tian Cai's heart ached. Xia Jiaojiao was his daughter, and seeing this, she almost went crazy. She shouted at Xia Tian Yi, "Xia Tian Yi!"
Yu Ya looked at everything that happened in front of her, and she was incomparably happy. Shen Rou had suffered the consequences of her own actions, and that bastard was now disfigured, so Xia Tian didn't dare to go out for the time being.
Xia Cheng's words, at night, Yu Ya finally understood what it meant.
When the two of them were in such a mess, they didn't expect that the door had been pushed open. Xia Jun stood quietly outside the door, expressionlessly watching the chaotic battle in the room. His eyes were gloomy, staring at the inside motionlessly, it was really a bit scary.
"Xia Xincai, how can you say such words …" Yu Ya felt as if she had been struck by lightning. After sharing the same pillow for so many years, she finally realized that it was only now that she realized what her husband was thinking.
Xia Jiaojiao didn't know if she heard Xia Tian Yi's words, but she still covered her face and screamed on the ground. Xia Cheng and Xia Madam's hearts were a bit numb, and they hurriedly called for a maid to carry Xia Jiaojiao away, and took the invitation to call for a doctor. However, everyone could clearly see that when the scalding hot soup poured down, Xia Jiaojiao's face would probably be ruined.
Although Xia Tian Cai felt sorry for Xia Jiaojiao, he was even more afraid of this big brother who suddenly became gloomy and scary. He didn't dare to say anything. Shen Rou was already unconscious, and at this moment, she was covered in wounds. Even if she woke up and knew that Xia Jiaojiao had become like this, she would probably live a life worse than death, if she could live.
Seeing this scene, Xia Cheng was even more furious in his heart, "A kind mother will spoil her son! A kind mother will spoil her son! "
The man who had always doted on Xia Jiaojiao the most spat out these words. Not only Xia Tian Cai, even Xia Cheng and Xia Madam were stunned.
Xia Tian Yi was a man, and because he was still angry, his kick was solid, and it sent Xia Jiaojiao flying. She just happened to hit the hot soup on the table, which was simmering in a small porcelain pot. Immediately, a scream was heard, and that pot of boiling hot soup fell from Xia Jiaojiao's head to her feet. Xia Jiaojiao covered her face, and rolled on the ground, crying out in pain. It was originally a boiling hot thing, so how could it be unscathed when it was poured on a young girl's delicate skin?
Xia Tian Yi left, and Xia Tian was supported back to the courtyard. Other than Xia Cheng, only Yu Ya was left in the hall. Xia Cheng coldly looked at Yu Ya, and with a snort, he left without saying a word. Yu Ya was stunned for a moment, and thought that Xia Cheng was blaming her for Guo Meng's matter. She hurriedly chased after him and said, "Father, I didn't let anyone harm Guo Meng."
This uncle and sister-in-law had given birth to a child, and their social status was not clean, so they could not enter the palace. Jiang Ruan looked down. In her previous life, because Xia Jiaojiao had Xia Cheng's support in the palace, she was very popular. They were both beauties of the same rank, but Xia Jiaojiao's and her's lives were worlds apart. Even if she was not a threat, Xia Jiaojiao would still find trouble with her every now and then. Now that this Eldest Miss of the Xia family, who thought of herself as a golden branch and jade leaves, knew that she was only a vile spawn, would there be any difference?
After the Chrysanthemum banquet, everything seemed to have returned to normal. That day, Jiang Su Su did not return with Yao shi's carriage. She only said that some young master had given up his carriage, and insisted on sending Jiang Su Su back to the Jiang fu. Jiang Su Su did not know how to respond, but everyone's discussion was focused on the Xia family's grandmother, and she was ignored.
"Xia Tiancai, you're not human —" Yu Ya screamed and pounced on him. She seemed to hate Xia Tiancai, and her two hands could not stop scratching his face. Xia Tiancai did not expect that Yu Ya was also so shrewish and had no image. Although he was injured, he was still a man, and his strength was much greater than Yu Ya's, so he immediately fought back. For a moment, the two of them were entangled, and it was hard to separate them.
Yu Ya finally understood why Xia Cheng had looked at her so strangely when he left, and also understood the meaning of Xia Cheng's last sentence. Xia Cheng was blaming her for revealing this matter, and for tarnishing the reputation of the Xia family. Xia Cheng was very dissatisfied with her, and in the future, he would not stand up for her. In fact, in the days to come, he would think of ways to embarrass her. The Xia family had done such a dirty thing, yet they did not reflect on themselves, and actually had the face to blame her! Yu Ya simply wanted to laugh.
"You, how can you be so shameless —" Yu Ya was stunned.
When Xia Jiaojiao heard the servants say that her mother and Second Uncle had been whipped by Xia Cheng in the hall, she initially thought that the servants were talking nonsense. It was only because Shen Rou was considered to have a lot of face in the Xia family, so why would she punish her mother? Suspicious, she came over to take a look, but her soul flew away and scattered. Shen Rou was beaten until her whole body was dripping with blood, and she lay on the ground, on the verge of death. And her father, who had always doted on Shen Rou, stood indifferently at the side, without the slightest trace of heartache.
"You slowly stay in the fu, and atone for Rou 'er and Jiaojiao." Xia Tiancai said.
