The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

"I have already severed ties with them. I don't agree!"

Xie Tianyi firmly stated his position and tried to stop the coming storm.

After hearing this, Chen Xi's anxiety subsided a little, but then he regained his fighting spirit: "Let's go and see what tricks she wants to play with Mo Shiyu's power!"

After that, Chen Xi and Xie Tianyi walked out side by side, followed closely by Jiang Da.

Arriving at the door, Jiang Da strode forward quickly and pushed open the heavy door with force. With a creaking sound, a new contest was about to begin.

"Second brother, how on earth do you discipline your own wife? How can you hang your wife's surname on the roof of your house? Correct it immediately, this is disgraceful!"

Qin's voice was mixed with dissatisfaction and blame, and the wrinkles between her brows seemed to say that her authority could not be challenged.

Chen Xi felt mixed emotions, and a bitter smile crept up the corners of his lips. "May I ask, elders, do you need to inquire about and give instructions on the placement of every brick and tile in the house?"

After he finished speaking, his eyes flashed with helplessness and sarcasm.

"This needs to be carefully checked."

As Qin spoke, she walked into the courtyard with a slightly majestic step, and Mo Shiyu followed closely behind. Wherever her eyes looked, she saw carefully arranged scenery. She couldn't help but secretly admire Xie Tianyi's unique vision in choosing a partner.

Little did people know that the vitality and harmony of this garden all came from Chen Xi's skillful hands and delicate mind.

"What are these messy things on the ground?"

Qin pointed to a piece of land that had been specially cleared, her tone revealing a hint of disdain.

"Those are herbs my mother grows."

As soon as Chen Xi finished speaking, Xiaoyang and Xiaochen dropped their bowls and ran out of the house with a look of curiosity.

When Qin heard that it was medicine, she immediately backed away, as if those herbs would bring bad luck.

"Why are you planting medicine in your house? Are you hoping that your family members will get sick? Pull it out for me now!"

Qin's order was given with an unquestionable tone.

Chen Xi folded his arms, with a mocking smile on his face, "The elders are really too lenient, they don't even let go of such a small matter?"

Qin's face darkened, like a dark cloud covering the sun, "Chen Xi, what do you mean? How dare you talk to me like this?"

"Well, now that I have come to this, if you dislike the simple houses in the village, do you still want to live in my mansion in the county? You really have a beautiful dream!"

There was a hint of teasing in Chen Xi's words, but there was also a hint of unyielding spirit.

"You, Xie Tianyi, why don't you take care of your wife?"

Qin pointed her finger directly at Xie Tianyi, her voice filled with anger.

"Who cares? Everything my wife says makes sense!"

Xie Tianyi had a smile on his face, and he had obviously learned how to deal with this kind of situation in a relaxed manner.

"Xie Tianyi, you are just trying to piss me off on purpose! And Chen Xi, how can you compare to Miss Mo? You are really just a country woman who has never seen the world."

Chen Xi smiled gently, and there was a detached indifference in that smile, "Yes, I am from the same country as you, I haven't read many books, and my knowledge is shallow, but this house is mine after all."

"How dare you talk back?"

"I didn't mean that. When did I ever talk back?"

Chen Xi pretended to be innocent, turned his head and looked at Xie Tianyi, a sly look flashed in his eyes.

"I didn't hear you. What did you just say?"

Xie Tianyi cooperated perfectly, with a bewildered look on his face, which made Qin so angry that her face turned blue.

"Master Xie, are you doting on Sister Chen too much that you don't even care about your own mother?"

Qin's momentum weakened slightly, and Mo Shiyu tried to sow discord between Xie Tianyi and Chen Xi, using the bond of family affection as a weapon.

However, Mo Shiyu obviously underestimated Xie Tianyi's determination.

He had already drawn a clear line with the Xie family, especially facing the Qin family who did not like him, Xie Tianyi was even colder towards them.

After the relationship is severed, the so-called family affection has long been dead in name only.

"How I treat my wife has nothing to do with you. And who are you to question me?"

"I, I... Master Xie, I have no other intentions. I just want to remind you that Sister Chen is unfilial and should be expelled from the family according to the law. I am doing this for her own good."

"You are quite good at making excuses. Why do you say it is for my own good? Then just go and fulfill your filial duty."

Chen Xi saw through Mo Shiyu's intentions, but still pretended to be calm.

"Sister Chen, you!"

Mo Shiyu was speechless for a moment, her face full of disbelief.

"Ms. Mo, I want to ask you something," Chen Xi suddenly asked, catching Mo Shiyu off guard, "Do you have a bad memory? Did you forget that I said I don't have sisters? Or do you particularly like being a concubine?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the two children immediately stood beside their respective parents, forming an invisible line of defense.

"Chen Xi, don't talk nonsense, I haven't gotten married yet!"

Mo Shiyu seemed a little flustered.

"So you still remember that you are not married yet? Then why do you call me sister so intimately? Did your father give birth to a sister for you? Or is there some unknown relationship between us?"

Chen Xi's barrage of questions left Mo Shiyu speechless, and she couldn't find any words to refute for a moment.

"Don't try to change the subject. I'm here today to support Mr. Xie's mother. As a daughter-in-law, you are really treasonous for not letting your parents-in-law live in your home."

"Master Xie's parents can go to the county government to sue you. Even if Master Xie defends you, it will be useless."

Mo Shiyu continued to chatter on, trying to gain the upper hand by using moral blackmail.

"It's really interesting. Just because she said she was Xie Tianyi's mother, you believed it? Then should I also call you mother? Come on, call me mother and let me hear it?"

Chen Xi gave Mo Shiyu an indifferent look, the contempt contained in it was self-evident.

"Chen Xi, you really don't know etiquette!"

Mo Shiyu was about to reach out to teach her a lesson, but was gently slapped away by Chen Xi. The action was gentle, but it carried a force that could not be ignored.

"Why, was I wrong? Why don't you go and ask him yourself?"

Chen Xi asked back provocatively.

Mo Shiyu looked at Xie Tianyi in disbelief, hoping to get some comfort or denial from him.

"Ms. Mo, she and I have been strangers for a long time. It's a bit too much for you to stand up for her."

Xie Tianyi's answer was plain, yet revealed a kind of determination.

"Xie Tianyi, for Chen Xi, you can even ignore your biological parents?"

This sentence struck directly at the scar deep in Xie Tianyi's heart. The days when he suffered indifference and alienation from the Xie family due to his blindness are still a trauma in his heart that is difficult to heal.

It was called a separation of the family, but in reality the Xie family chose to abandon a helpless blind man when he needed help the most.

Although he had no resentment, the rift had already been created and the Xie family could not escape the blame.

He, Xie Tianyi, has never failed the Xie family. How can Mo Shiyu, an outsider, be qualified to point fingers here?

"Ms. Mo, these things don't seem to have anything to do with you, right? Are you living such a leisurely life that you have to meddle in other people's affairs?"

Xie Tianyi looked at him coldly, and there was no need to hide the displeasure in his tone.
