Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

Ji Xin was so scared that he took a half step back and quickly supported Xia's mother.

"Please get up first, don't do this." Ji Xin said crying, the fear in her eyes was evident.

The onlookers nearby were still pointing and talking, little knowing that this was exactly what Xia's mother was planning.

"Xinxin, you know how good my son is to you, how can you be ungrateful?"

"I... am not..." Ji Xin had never seen such a scene. Before this, she was just a girl waiting to be married. The most she thought about was embroidering her wedding dress and imagining being happy with Xia Bin.

I didn't expect that it would be destroyed in one day and fall into this situation.

Ji Yao was furious. What did this old woman mean?

Fortunately, Ji Yao is not a modern person, otherwise he would know that this is the so-called moral kidnapping.

Seeing this, Xia's mother wanted to pull Ji Xin, but Ji Xin was so scared that he took a few steps back. Ji Yao reached out to stop him.

"Who are you?" Mother Xia looked at Ji Yao with dissatisfaction. Ji Yao had been away all these years and she seldom saw him. In addition, Ji Yao looked exhausted, so Mother Xia did not recognize him at first.

"Ji Xin, who is this? My son's body is still warm, and you are flirting with a man outside. Are you doing this to my son?"

She didn't hear Ji Xin calling Ji Yao just now, and she looked ferocious as if she was catching someone cheating.

Ji Xin hurriedly wanted to wave his hands to explain.

"Stop spitting blood! I'm Ji Yao, Xinxin's brother, you'd better keep your mouth shut."

Seeing that Xia's mother was openly and secretly ruining Ji Xin's reputation, Ji Yao was furious.

Not long ago, he was bragging to Emperor Qianlong and his entourage that his sister had found a good home with a man who knew her well, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly.

Ji Yao was so angry that he felt his face hurt.

Mother Xia knew that she couldn't control Ji Xin by using Ji Yao, so she smiled awkwardly.

"So it's the kid from the Ji family. Look at me. I've been so sad these days that I'm confused."

"Hmph, you are confused. If I hadn't come back, I wouldn't have known that you persecuted my sister like this." Ji Yao said coldly.

"You are wrong. Being loyal to your husband and raising your children is a woman's duty."

"My sister hasn't married yet, what are you talking about loyalty?" Ji Yao couldn't help but feel fortunate that Xia Bin was a short-lived man and Ji Xin hadn't married yet, so there was still room for maneuver.

Hearing Ji Yao flatly denying their relationship, Xia's mother's face immediately darkened.

In her opinion, Ji Xin was already the daughter-in-law of the Xia family, so it was natural for her to remain a widow.

Originally, Xia's mother wanted to arrange a ghost marriage, but it's a pity...

"You can talk nonsense during the meal, but you can't talk nonsense. Everyone in Shangdu knows about Ji Xin and my son's engagement. What? You want to deny it now?"

"You don't want to admit it? Why don't you let Xia Bin come to collect the debt?" Ji Yao was furious. He has never had a good temper. Back then, he was invincible in the business world. He only became gentler as he got older.

Ji Yao's retort without hesitation made Xia's parents blush.

"Hmph, such a young boy is talking nonsense. I'd better go and ask Brother Ji what he means!" Father Xia could no longer sit still and no longer just watched the fire from the other side of the river. He let Mother Xia lead the charge.

"What do you mean? Literally! My sister is not from your Xia family, and will never agree to your unreasonable demands. As for the betrothal gifts that were sent to your house before, they will be returned in full without any changes."

Ji Yao made a prompt decision. Ji Xin was his only sister, and she had been spoiled since she was a child. There was no reason for her to be bullied like this.

"Don't even think about it!" Xia's mother rushed up like crazy and tried to pull Ji Xin.

"I tell you, Ji Xin is a member of our Xia family when he is alive, and a ghost of our Xia family when he dies!"

He Xi whispered to Fu Kang'an, "Go and help them."

Fu Kang'an nodded in understanding, and then easily blocked Xia Mu's attack.

"Who are you? This is our family affair, stay out of our business!"

Mother Xia looked at Fu Kang'an who suddenly appeared with fear and threatened: "Or are you the mistress of that bitch Ji Xin?"

"Pa——" Xia's mother fell to the ground after being slapped.

Fukang'an had never seen such a foul-mouthed person, who talked about dirty things all the time.

And his wife was watching! How could he tolerate Xia's mother's unbridled rumors?

Xia's mother was stunned by the beating, and she didn't expect that Fukang'an would slap her in the face for a disagreement, well, a physical slap in the face.

Fukangan: Don’t get close to me!

Hexi silently gave Fukangan a thumbs up in her heart. People like this who take advantage of their seniority, are disrespectful and foul-mouthed must be dealt with severely.

It would be difficult for Xia's father to remain invisible forever.

"This brother, this is a bit too much."

Fu Kang'an looked at Xia's father with contempt.

"I thought two men died in the Xia family."

What he meant was that Father Xia had just been hiding behind the scenes and had said some mild remarks at most, but now he was here to uphold justice?

Father Xia naturally heard the sarcasm, but he was a man, how could he do such embarrassing things.

He had no choice but to pretend not to understand and asked someone to help Xia's mother up.

"This is a matter between our Xia family and the Ji family. Please don't interfere."

Mr. Xia's words were more beautiful than Mrs. Xia's, but the implication was the same.

When Ji Yao saw that it was Fu Kang'an, he bowed to him in gratitude. There were many neighbors and acquaintances around, but no one dared to speak up for him.

Fu Kang'an and the others only met him once, but he was able to stand on their side.

"My sister will never agree to your request." He is not dead yet!

He has been away from home for many years and his sister is the one he cares about. How could he bear to let Ji Xin suffer such an injustice?

Mother Xia seemed to have heard something incredible.

"That's what she should do!"

In fact, being a widow was a very normal thing. A woman's reputation was more important than anything else, and there were even many who committed suicide to be buried with her for the sake of her chastity arch.

Mother Xia thought that she was extremely kind by not forcing Ji Xin to be buried alive with him, so how could Ji Yao still have the nerve to refuse?

Ji Yao sneered: "If you want to be a widow or be buried alive, do it yourself! Our Ji family won't accompany you."

"I'm sure Brother Xia must be very pleased that his mother is so selfless."

It can be said that Ji Yao was murderous and heartbroken. Didn't you say you love your son? Then go down and accompany him!

What? You don't dare? Oh, are you afraid of death?

Ji Yao's eyes made Xia's mother feel uncomfortable. She was the kind of person who was extremely hypocritical and afraid of death.

Mother Xia avoided Ji Yao's gaze and coughed uncomfortably.

After saying this, Ji Yao pulled Ji Xin up and wanted to leave.

"Wait!"

Everyone thought that the Xia family was obstructing them again, but that was not the case at all.

The ones who spoke were Ji's father and mother who had hurried over.

Ji's father was wearing a long robe, dressed like a scholar.

"Dad! Mom!" Ji Yao was very happy to see his father. In his opinion, his father would definitely stand on his side.

"Ji Xin is already a member of the Xia family, let her go!"

"What...what!" Ji Yao couldn't believe his ears.
