Chapter 175 I bullied her?
Chapter 175 I bullied her?
As long as the Yonglin Marquisate does not fall, Zhou Lai and Zhou Qin will not have the courage to take Xu Rong's life.
Apart from saving Xu Rong's life, he doesn't care about anything else.
Originally, he didn't send Xu Rong to the Zhou family to let her enjoy a good life.
Xu Rui had already thought of a solution for Zheng, but Zheng was not grateful. "They won't let me see her. There's no need to report this to the authorities. As long as you accompany me to the Zhou family, Zhou Lai and Zhou Qin will definitely let me see Rong'er."
The Zhou family members were all very afraid of Xu Rui, so as long as Xu Rui was willing to come forward, they would not be able to stop her from seeing Xu Rong.
Seeing that he couldn't convince Zheng, Xu Rui's face turned a little dark.
Jiang Xiyu watched all this with a sneer in her heart. She didn't want Xu Rui to go see Xu Rong either, so she pretended to persuade him, "Mother, the Marquis just said that he came back secretly this time and it's not convenient for him to show up. Besides, there has always been a grudge between the Zhou family and our Marquis Mansion. If Mother lets the Marquis go to the Zhou family, wouldn't that be giving the evidence of the Marquis's secret return directly to the Zhou family?"
"Jiang Xiyu." It would have been fine if Jiang Xiyu hadn't spoken. But when she did, Zheng immediately turned her attention to Jiang Xiyu. "It was all your fault that Rong'er married into the Zhou family. How can you have any say in this matter now?"
A row of black lines suddenly appeared on Jiang Xiyu's forehead.
Zheng is really good at taking the blame.
Although she had helped Xu Rong marry into the Zhou family, it was Xu Rui who ultimately made Xu Rong marry. Now she can blame everything on her.
Xu Rui was furious at Zheng's attitude towards Jiang Xiyu. "Mother, Xi'er is my wife, the mistress of the Yonglin Marquisate. There's nothing she can't decide about. Not to mention that Xu Rong is already married and no longer a member of the Yonglin Marquisate. Even if she were still the wife of the Yonglin Marquisate, she would still be under Xi'er's control."
Seeing Xu Rui protecting Jiang Xiyu, Zheng became angry and pointed at Xu Rui's nose and scolded him, "It's already this time, and you're still protecting her. In your heart, the whole of us, mother and daughter, are not as good as Jiang Xiyu."
Even if Jiang Xiyu caught a cold, he would rush back from the border for 800 miles, risking being beheaded for disobeying the imperial edict.
Now he is just asked to go to Zhou's house to rescue Xu Rong, but he is making excuses. It is obvious that he has been bewitched by the vixen Jiang Xiyu.
"Mother." Seeing her stubbornness, Xu Rui was completely enraged and shouted, "How long are you going to be unreasonable? How long are you going to bully her?"
Hearing this, Zheng's eyes widened in grievance, and she pointed at Jiang Xiyu with a look of disbelief, "I bullied her?"
Who made Zhou Lai look like a ghost, and now caused Xu Rong to suffer in the Zhou family?
Not only that, when Xu Rong got married, Jiang Xiyu was so stingy that she didn't even want to prepare any dowry, which caused Xu Rong to be looked down upon by the Zhou family and prevented her from seeing Xu Rong until now.
Who broke her ankle, leaving her lying in bed...
Who is responsible for all this?
Who is bullying whom?
Seeing that Zheng was bullying others, she felt wronged and very upset.
"Mother, you knew she was well-educated and well-mannered, and it was impossible for her to do such a shameful thing. Why did you listen to Lin Rouyu's words and come to Jingyu Garden in the middle of the night to catch her in an adultery? Isn't that bullying her?"
Jiang Xiyu looked at Xu Rui in surprise.
Does this man trust her so much?
It seemed that ever since she told him about the masked man, he had not suspected that she had betrayed him or had an affair.
but……
Jiang Xiyu subconsciously covered her arms.
If he knew that she was no longer innocent, I wonder if he would still trust her as much as he does now.
"I was..." Xu Rui's words seemed to strangle Zheng's throat, making her hold back for a long time. "I was thinking about you. I was afraid that you were being cuckolded without knowing it."
Zheng's words were so harsh that Xu Rui was completely furious. He said urgently, "Can you please stop acting on your own? I don't need you to think about me at all. You just made things difficult for her, which was undoubtedly stabbing my heart with a knife. If you really cared about me, you should treat her well for me instead of thinking about how to kill her. Do you know that if you really killed her, your son would never get over it in his life? You are not thinking about me, you are hurting me."
Xu Rui's excited words moved Jiang Xiyu a little.
In her previous life, he had never protected her like this. It was rare for her to have his protection like this in this life, and she felt a mixture of emotions.
But Zheng was furious at Xu Rui's words, "I'm harming you? I think you've really been bewitched by that vixen Jiang Xiyu..."
"Mother." Zheng hadn't finished her vicious words when Xu Rui shouted at her angrily.
Sensing Xu Rui's uncontrollable anger, Zheng finally became a little frightened and didn't dare to scold Jiang Xiyu anymore. She just glared at Xu Rui and said, "Just tell me whether you will accompany me to Zhou's house or not."
Xu Rui frowned suddenly, about to explode again, but Jiang Xiyu spoke first, "The Marquis will be returning to the Northern Territory tonight, so it's inconvenient for him to show up now. If you really want to see Xu Rong, I can accompany you to the Zhou family tomorrow."
"You?" Zheng glanced at Jiang Xiyu with disdain.
Jiang Xiyu raised her chin high and said, "I promise that I will let you meet Xu Rong tomorrow, and I will also ask the Zhou family to agree to let her return home."
Zheng narrowed her eyes and stared at Jiang Xiyu, then looked at Xu Rui, "Are you going back to the North tonight?"
Xu Rui nodded, "We must leave the capital before dawn, otherwise we will be disobeying the emperor's order."
Daughters are important, but sons are even more important.
Zheng took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Xiyu in a compromising manner, "Alright then, you will accompany me to the Zhou family tomorrow and bring Rong'er back."
Jiang Xiyu nodded slightly to show her agreement.
Zheng then looked at Xu Rui again, "Since you're leaving tonight, let's leave quickly before daybreak to avoid being seen by those with ulterior motives."
"Yeah." Xu Rui responded.
Zheng didn't say anything more to Xu Rui, and didn't even look at Jiang Xiyu, and turned to leave.
Xu Rui immediately spoke up upon seeing this, "Mother, you haven't apologized to Xi'er yet."
Zheng was already angry because Xu Rui refused to go with her to rescue Xu Rong. Now that she saw Xu Rui causing trouble again, she became even angrier. She turned around, glared at Xu Rui and cursed him.
"You've been back for two days and you didn't care about my leg injury, you didn't come to see me, and you didn't care about your sister's marriage to the Zhou family. Why didn't you come back? Your heart and eyes are full of Jiang Xiyu. Ning Shi just caught a cold, but you asked you to rush back eight hundred miles to save your sister, even if it meant disobeying the order. You were afraid of disobeying the order and kept making excuses.
Now you want me to apologize to her? What should I apologize for? I already said that it was Lin Rouyu who asked me to come. Didn't Lin Rouyu apologize? What should I apologize for? Also, what is my status? I am your mother. I am her mother-in-law. There is no reason for a son to disrespect his mother, and there is no reason for a mother-in-law to apologize to her daughter-in-law.
