Xie Mulin saw that Wen had admitted his mistake to him, so he slowly collected his tears and said that he had forgiven the cheap girl.

Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Mulin took the opportunity to say: "Mother, I know what you mean by what you just persuaded me. You don't want the old lady to have too bad a relationship with the clan, do you? You are afraid that if I tell my uncle and grandmother about the old lady, they will have a worse opinion of the old lady, and that the old lady will be in a worse position in the clan. Although when she was alive, she could rely on her father's son and let others have nothing to do with her, but she will always die one day. If the clan evils her and refuses to let her be buried in the ancestral grave, won't she be a lonely ghost? ”

Wen nodded with red circles in his eyes and said, "That's what Niang meant." ”

Xie Mulin persuaded Wen to be tough in front of Old Lady Xie and not to obey the latter's orders in everything, and he used this reason to prevaricate. Now that her actions are contrary to the rhetoric of the day, it is no wonder that Wen would say those unpleasant words.

But how could Xie Mulin be so easy to give up and fool Baozi Niang?

She deliberately sighed and said to Wen, "Mother, if it wasn't for the old lady who went too far, how could I do this?" To be honest, I was really chilled. The old lady has always been very cold to our mother and son, obviously you were raised by her since childhood, not only mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but also half mother and daughter, but she does not miss you at all. In the past, I could still lie to myself, saying that it was because the Cao family was born noble, and the old lady was blinded by the wealth, so she thought we were in the way, so she would show favor to the Cao family by suppressing us......"

Wen Shi listened with tears in his eyes, remembering the ruthless scene when Mrs. Xie turned her face back then, as well as the indifference and harshness of these years, and couldn't help but feel a hidden pain in his heart.

"But...... The eldest brother and sister have obviously been deeply favored by the old lady since they were children, and not long ago, the old lady often talked about them and regarded them as treasures in their hearts. And now? Xie Mulin secretly paid attention to Wen's reaction and continued, "Needless to say, eldest sister, the words that the old lady scolded her were so bad that I felt dirty ears!" And the eldest brother, he is bent on studying for the imperial examination and earning a future, but the old lady casually wants to ruin his reputation and ruin his future, just because he wants to go to Zhulin Academy to study! What does the old lady think of this eldest grandson in her heart? Even if the eldest brother was born to the Cao family, could it be that the love between ancestors and grandchildren in the past ten years is all fake? ! ”

Wen paused, slowly sat up straight, and couldn't help but be frightened.

Yes, is the old lady too ruthless to the juniors around her? It doesn't matter if she Wen Sumin is a foreigner, Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yinghui are all the grandchildren of the old lady! Even if the Cao family is wrong, these two children are still very filial to the old lady. For no reason, the old lady will turn her face and deny people, which is also ...... It's too much!

Xie Mulin saw that she was shaken, so he continued to add fuel to the fire: "Think about it carefully, when Daddy was in prison for an accident, the old lady didn't put much effort into him, right?" At that time, she complained all day long that she did not live well, did not eat well, became jewelry, and kept the silver by herself, and would rather spend money to hire someone to serve her than take out a penny to buy some food, clothing, and bedding for her father in prison......

"In the old lady's heart, I'm afraid that there is only herself, and all the flesh and blood children and grandchildren are fake. Even she loves her father, mostly because her father can be an official, can make money, and can provide her with a rich life. But she didn't care about her father's thoughts. Otherwise, he would not have forced his father to marry the Cao family back then, and he has not taken his brothers and sisters other than the eldest brother and sister in his eyes all these years, and now he has simply turned his face with almost all his grandchildren. Anyway, we are also her flesh and blood! ”

Wen's tears suddenly fell.

Xie Mulin sighed: "The old lady has such a cold temperament, and I can't say anything as a junior." But the old lady was both cold and ruthless, and she was open-mouthed, and as soon as her temperament came up, she was completely reckless. What's even more terrifying is that she doesn't know what to do!

"If she has been recuperating at home, regardless of what is going on outside, it will be fine. But once she intervenes in the affairs of the family, whether it is housework, siblings, or even the officialdom of her father...... Father, mother, and brothers are all filial to her, what if they obey her when they shouldn't be, which leads to serious consequences, and affects themselves and even the whole family?! Whether the old lady was willing to admit her mistake at that time or not, it didn't help! ”

Wen Shi was so shocked when he heard it that he couldn't even bother to cry: "Isn't it?" Where did it get to this? ”

"Who knows?" Xie Mulin sighed, "She fled from Jinling City in a hurry this time, although we all guessed that she was deceived by the third sister, but if she really didn't do anything wrong, how could she fall for the third sister?" Seeing her so panicked, maybe there is something inside this that we don't know. The old lady can make such a big storm by going out casually, God knows if she will cause more trouble in the future? At that time, the disaster may not be something that the third sister can make up, but a disaster that will really implicate the whole family! How can people be reassured by this? I feel scared when I think about it. ”

Wen thought about it and felt scared.

She asked her daughter in a panic, "What do you think should be done?" Shall we write to your father? Maybe your father has a way to find out, what is the old lady afraid of? Can you find a way to solve it? ”

Mu Lin tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Okay, if my mother wants to write a letter, just write it." However, this letter has come and gone, and we don't know how long it will be delayed, and we can't wait. I think that my mother still has to keep an eye on everything, and don't really listen to the old lady's orders in everything. If her command makes sense, there's nothing to hear. But if her orders are unreasonable, it will harm you and our brothers and sisters, and harm the interests of the clan...... Then you must not listen to it! ”

Wen bit his lip: "I really can't listen to it...... I hadn't thought about that before. ”

"I can't help but think about it now!" Xie Mulin grabbed her hand tightly, "When things happen, we can find a way to deal with it, then it will be too late!" At times like these, we need the support and support of our people. Don't always think about saving face for the old lady and hiding this and that. Now is not the time to look at face. We have to warn the clan early and prepare early, in case the old lady doesn't know the importance and brings disaster to the family and the clan! Otherwise, if she was confused and affected everyone, what if her father was a third-grade official outside? The brothers have broken their futures, their lives have been ruined, the family is also in a slump, and the successor is powerless, will the mother and father feel better? Maybe even my father's career will be ruined! ”

Wen's face changed drastically, and his body trembled slightly.

Xie Mulin continued: "If something really happens...... In fact, there is not no seed of reading in the clan, and it is impossible for everyone to easily let go of the old lady as the culprit because they are worried about their father. If Daddy really broke up with his clan because of this...... And what's in it for you? This year, my father had an accident, but thanks to my uncle, grandfather and grandmother, who came to the rescue. Once the father and the clan have a disagreement, if he is framed again in the future, who will save him? ”

Wen Shi listened to it and became more and more flustered, but she still understood what her daughter meant. It was precisely because she understood that her heart would be more painful at this moment.

She nodded again and again: "Good boy, you have a point, we do ......" Before she finished speaking, she couldn't help choking up, "Why can't the old lady ...... Can't you be as amiable as the elders of other people's families? We are obviously very filial to her, why does she always have nothing to do? The disaster in her family is no longer what it used to be, but she is still so willful...... What did I do in my last life......"
