After hearing what Xie Liuzheng said, Xie Xiangyu had to admit that everything she said made sense, but she couldn't do as she said.

?

"Something like this just happened in the mansion. If I send your two cousins ​​back at this time, what will others think?"

?

Speaking of this, I remembered that after Xie Liuzheng and Qin Shou broke off their engagement, no one came to propose marriage to them anymore. Even the matchmaker who used to come to their house every few days to curry favor with them now stayed away.

?

When she thought about the unwarranted blame she had received for divorcing Qin Guangjin, she couldn't help but feel sad.

?

She took Xie Liuzheng's hand and patted it gently, "Daughter, I promised you that I would not force you to get married."

?

"You should also know that the reason why I dare to do this is because our Xie family is wealthy and I have you as my daughter. All the wealth in the future will be yours. That's why I'm not worried about no one wanting to marry you."

?

"Your two cousins ​​are different from you. With your third uncle holding them above you, their dowries are bound to be meager. Their reputations are blemishes, so it will be even harder for them to find a good family."

?

Xie Liuzheng was determined to drive Xie Liuhui and the other two out of the Xie family. She had done so much to achieve this goal, so she would not give up easily. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "Mother, Liuhui and Liufang are your nieces and your daughter's cousins. They are your relatives who are closely connected. You are worried about their reputation, but isn't your daughter worried?"

?

"But have you ever thought that they really did it?"

?

"Impossible." Xie Xiangyu retorted without thinking, "Our Xie family's children have been able to read and write since childhood, how could they do such a thing?"

?

Thinking of something, a stern look appeared between his brows, "Liu Zheng, do you not welcome your cousin to live in your home?"

?

Xie Liuzheng originally didn't want to hide the truth from Xie Xiangyu, but when he saw her expression suddenly change, he had no choice but to change his mind.

?

It is true that Xie Xiangyu loves her, but her ideas are not the same. Instead of telling the truth and making Xie Xiangzhu unhappy, or even hurting the relationship between mother and daughter, it is better to find an excuse that Xie Xiangyu can accept more easily.

?

As long as the goal can be achieved, the method and process are actually not important.

?

This is the experience Xie Liuzheng summed up from the unbearable circumstances in his previous life.

?

Shock and grievance appeared on her little face, and tears instantly filled her eyes. She bit her lips and whispered, "Mother, do you suspect that I deliberately found an excuse to drive my two cousins ​​away?"

?

The name changed from "mother" to "mother", which revealed a sense of strangeness and inappropriate politeness.

?

Xie Xiangyu realized that she was too strict with Xie Liuzheng and did not trust him enough. She even doubted her own daughter because of an outsider. She immediately felt guilty, "Liuzheng, that's not what I meant."

?

"Mother, you don't have to coax your daughter. She's not a child anymore. She can still tell when someone is being told to do something." Xie Liuzheng pretended to be strong, turned sideways to wipe away her tears, and stood up. "My daughter didn't say anything because she felt sorry for you because it's not easy to support the family business. In fact, she has long seen that the two cousins ​​have bad intentions."

?

"Mother, think about it. Since they came to live in our house for less than two months, how many times have they cried poor in front of you? How many times have they complained about Third Uncle's harsh treatment of them?"

?

"Let's not talk about whether they have other purposes in complaining about Third Uncle. Just the fact that they are criticizing their elders behind their backs is something that cannot be tolerated by heaven, right? Is Third Uncle really as unreasonable as they say?"

?

After being reminded by Xie Liuzheng, Xie Xiangyu began to take the words and deeds of Xie Liuhui and the others seriously.

?

Almost every other day, she talked about how hard life was at home, how they only had a little pocket money every month, and how they had to save money even to buy rouge and powder. She also often talked about her worries about marriage, fearing that her uncle would not give them a dowry and that they would not be able to hold their heads up high in their husband's family in the future.

?

When Xie Xiangyu heard these words, she thought that young girls all liked gadgets, and giving them some pocket money was no big deal.

?

As for the dowry, Xie Xiangyu, as the aunt, could not surpass her third uncle, so she gave them some jewelry as a low-key reward to save everyone's face. If the two of them really encountered difficulties, it would be convenient to exchange the jewelry for gold and silver for emergency.

?

But he didn't think about what they said.

?

No matter how difficult their families are, they are after all a branch of the Xie family, and they have to follow the proper rules and cannot live too frugally and lose face in front of others.

?

The third uncle is a person who cares a lot about his reputation. He doesn't value his granddaughter, but he won't treat her harshly on purpose.

?

The two of them will not be short of food and clothing, and they will definitely have enough clothes to go out, jewelry, rouge and powder.

?

It’s just not as valuable as Xie Liuzheng’s.

?

After thinking about it carefully, Xie Xiangyu realized that she had trusted Xie Liuhui and the others too much, and her brows gradually frowned.

?

Xie Liuzheng saw her expression and knew her words had worked, so she slowed down her tone and continued, "It's not that I'm petty and trying to compete with you two cousins, but I'm just being ignorant and saying that I usually give more rewards to the maids than you give to you two cousins."

?

"No matter how much my mother loves my two cousins, they are no match for me. Why should I fight with them?"

?

"It's just that my daughter noticed that my two cousins ​​were getting more and more obsessed. I can't help but suspect that they were not satisfied with the things you gave them, so they pretended to have lost them. You were very likely to give them more out of pity."

?

That was indeed the case. He did intend to reward Xie Liuhui and the other two with some jewelry as a token of appeasement. However, he had been so busy with the silk factory's affairs recently that he had few opportunities to go home and had no time to deal with these small matters at home.

?

Xie Xiangyu believed what Xie Liuzheng said, but she was still unwilling to believe that her beloved niece would do such a thing.

?

"Liu Zheng, don't say these anymore. Let me think about it."

?

Xie Liuzheng knew that Xie Xiangyu valued feelings the most, and if someone was kind to her, she would want to repay them tenfold. She was worried that Xie Liuhui and the other two would cry and say a few nice words in front of her, and she would be soft-hearted and let the matter go, so Xie Liuzheng spoke again.

?

"Mother, did you know that my daughter was unwell the night before last, and the two cousins ​​came to visit her in her room and actually asked her to help manage your business?"

?

Business is Xie Xiangyu's bottom line. After Xie Liuzheng's grandfather passed away, the elders of the clan forced Xie Xiangyu to hand over the family business by using their status. Xie Xiangyu was willing to turn against her clan members in order to keep the family business.

?

Later, she found out that Qin Guangjin coveted the Xie family's property, so she kicked him out. Otherwise, Qin Guangjin was just keeping a mistress, and Xie Xiangyu would not care about it at all.

?

The family business was built by Xie Xiangyu's grandfather and father with their own efforts, and it must not be destroyed in her hands!

?

Xie Xiangyu's eyes gradually turned cold. "They actually had such thoughts. It's really a waste of my love for them."

?

"Thanks for reminding me, otherwise I wouldn't have seen their evil intentions."

?

He immediately asked someone to send Xie Liuhui and the other two back.

?

Xie Liuzheng smiled and stopped him, "Mom, you are too impatient. The two cousins ​​are so young, it's normal for them to envy our good life and have some bad thoughts."

?

"When they are older and more sensible, they will naturally regret their current thoughts."
