Chapter 272 - 272: 272-Arrogant
Although he had provoked them before, it was time to retreat. He slowly walked back to Rong An Hall.
Thus, there was such a grand scene in the Xie Manor. A peerless beauty strolled leisurely in the courtyard, and the many servants who came and went were almost dumbfounded. For a moment, they could not tell that it was Xiao Baoxin, and simply became the center of attention.
Xiao Baoxin pretended not to know. It looked fun, and the maids blushed. It was very interesting.
At this moment, the butler of the Xie family walked over. Just by looking at the messy steps under his feet, he knew that he had encountered an urgent matter. Otherwise, this old butler of the Xie family had always been steady and slow.
At this moment, he wished he could run away, but the soles of his feet were still on the ground.
The butler was given the surname Xie by the original Xie Shi Zhong. He was an old servant of the Xie family for four generations. He was almost fifty years old, his temples were white, and his forehead was covered in sweat.
He had originally slid past Xiao Baoxin, but who knew that after two steps, he would slide back.
“Madam?”
Butler Xie called out tentatively. Seeing Xiao Baoxin smile, he was sure. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and seemed to have found his backbone.”Outside, there are four people with the surname Cheng, mother and son. They said they want to recognize their relatives. Now that things are not looking good, this old servant can’t take the initiative to bring him in. What if he’s a swindler?”
She didn’t say anything else. If she wasn’t, then the reputation of Third Master Xie and the Xie family would be ruined by these four women.
Madam Wang led the guards out in a grandiose manner, and Madam Yuan summoned a group of guards to escort Third Master Xie back to the manor. Not only did the entire manor know about it, but Butler Xie, as the chief steward of the manor, definitely knew about it. However, he did not know what exactly it was.
Even if he was sixty to seventy percent sure that the enchanting woman outside was telling the truth, he didn’t dare to be arbitrary.
With Xiao Baoxin’s keen mind, how could he not understand Butler Xie’s concerns?
“Is that woman surnamed Cheng?”
Butler Xie nodded repeatedly. When he was howling outside, he really couldn’t hear his voice being soft and coy. He let the three young men suppress his voice completely. When he was invited to the gatehouse to rest, he was really soft and coy. When he spoke to an old man in his fifties, he pinched his throat and half of his body almost went limp.
“That’s right,” Xiao Baoxin smiled.” Go and report to the Grand Madam.””
With that, he left.
Butler Xie gasped. There was too much information.
First of all, Xie San Ye, who only had one illegitimate son, suddenly had three more sons. In his opinion, the oldest was thirteen or fourteen years old, and the youngest was eight or nine years old. This age was intriguing. The secrecy was really good.
Secondly, Tang Madam Rong An’s affirmation meant that she knew the inside story.
He knew that Madam Yuan had left with the guards. This meant that Tang Madam Rong An had been involved in the whole process and knew everything that had happened.
As a junior, she was involved in the family scandal of an elder. From this, it could be seen how much Madam Yuan valued this new madam.
Butler Xie was an old man in the Xie family. He had been serving the Xie family since he was young. He had seen many twists and turns in the Xie family and knew it well.
He did not dare to delay. After confirming that the enchanting woman outside was real, he ran to Yi An Hall. This was a strange sight that had not been seen for many years. It immediately overshadowed the limelight of Xiao Baoxin’s male disguise just now, and everyone was dumbfounded as if they had seen a strange sight.
When Butler Xie arrived at Yi An Hall, panting, he heard that there was already a huge commotion inside. Madam Wang was tearing her neck and crying.
Xie San Ye’s plans had been exposed, so he decided to go all out and accept Cheng shi into the family, and also bring his sons into the residence to educate them properly.
This was what Madam Wang was afraid of. Could she let him get what he wanted?
Xie Laosan, that fellow, could have fun with whoever he wanted to. She was getting more and more disgusted with him. However, this was related to the family property. Moreover, Cheng Shi was not a good person. Once she entered the house, with Xie Laosan’s biased personality, would she still have a good life?
At that moment, he would rather die than live in disgrace. He was not afraid of losing face.
She had already been thrown to the ground by Xie Laosan and was being stepped on by others. No matter how arrogant she was now, she would only be a joke. She was just trying her best to protect her own interests. What was there to be ashamed of? At most, she would slowly pick up her own face in the future.
The main thing was that he couldn’t let others take advantage of his benefits.
She was dreaming. She even wanted those sons to be under her name. What was going on? She wanted to gild them and inherit the family business in the future?
“You think you have the life of a son? Who knows which one it is, just say it’s yours-do you have a brain? Raising someone else’s son, are you calling him Abba? Are you playing with the old and the young?”
“The world is unified?”
“You have so many sons, what status do you still want? Just leave the family property outside the door and call you father. Anyway, you like to be a father without working!”
Butler Xie heard that Madam Wang had also shed all her old face and was no longer embarrassed.
He couldn’t continue listening. If he continued listening, it would be his original sin. If he laughed out loud, he would probably not be able to be a butler.
So he called a maid with a brilliant expression outside and asked her to go in and report to the old lady that he had something important to ask for an audience.
“It’s related to Third Master’s family.”
The little girl did not dare to delay. The butler was clearly adding fuel to the fire. He opened the door and entered the house.
Mother Xie’s head was full of questions. When she heard that Butler Xie wanted to see her, she quickly asked someone to come in.
“Third Brother, Third Brother’s wife, both of you should rest. I won’t stop you if you want to embarrass yourselves. At least let my ears be quiet first. Otherwise, get out of here. Yi An Hall won’t tolerate you, and the Xie family won’t tolerate you.”
These words were so serious that Madam Wang was the first to lose her mind.
She knew that she was at a disadvantage in the battle with Third Brother Xie. She was a wife without a son. She needed Mother Xie’s support to suppress Third Brother Xie. Otherwise, she might not be able to control Third Brother Xie with his current state of confusion.
Third Master Xie touched his forehead that had just started bleeding and silently shut his mouth.
“Mother, anyway, what I mean is that you-”
Third Master Xie’s voice came to an abrupt halt when he saw Mother Xie raising the teacup that the maid had just served. However, he couldn’t stop cursing in his heart. He didn’t know which maid had such poor judgment or deliberately wanted him to suffer another blow. Her heart was doomed!
Housekeeper Xie quietly entered the room, afraid that his footsteps would be too loud and awaken the violence of the people in the room. His heart was in his throat. Third Master Xie knelt down, Madam Wang sat on the embroidered stool, Madam Yuan sat on the seat above Madam Wang with a serious face, and Mother Xie sat on the seat above with an expressionless face.
With just a glance, Butler Xie took in the entire situation. This… It was clearly a tense atmosphere, ready to explode at any moment..
