I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

"Mrs. Song, please come this way." The maid made a gesture of invitation.

Liu Yueru finally came to her senses and followed the maid to Concubine Xian.

She bowed politely to Concubine Xian.

The virtuous concubine began to look at Liu Yueru carefully when she came over.

When Xie Wenhua saw Liu Yueru, he immediately climbed down from Concubine Xian's side with joy, ran to Liu Yueru's side, and called out, "Aunt."

Then he said to Concubine Xian, "Grandma Xian, this is Brother Yan's mother, and Brother Hua'er's favorite aunt."

Liu Yueru blushed at the sudden compliment and reached out to pull Hua Ge'er to her side.

She quickly bowed to Concubine Xian and said, "Brother Yan often mentions Concubine Xian in front of me, saying that Concubine Xian often brings him delicious snacks."

The virtuous concubine liked Liu Yueru very much because she was so graceful and dignified and not humble at all.

No matter how she looked at them, she felt that Xie Wenhua and Song Yiyan both looked like Liu Yueru, but she couldn't tell in what way.

This is why she likes Song Yiyan so much every time she sees him. Xie Wenhua has been active and tough since childhood, while Song Yiyan is introverted and steady.

On the contrary, Song Yiyan is more like his son, taciturn but more thoughtful.

"Yan'er is a good boy. Let Hua'er learn from him. I believe he will not be so reckless in doing things in the future." The virtuous concubine said to Liu Yueru with a gentle smile.

Liu Yueru bowed slightly: "Young Master is extremely intelligent. It is a blessing for Brother Yan to be able to study with him."

When the two were talking.

Xie Anlan walked towards Liu Yueru with a bad look in his eyes.

After she simply bowed to the Concubine Xian, she said to her, "Concubine Xian, please don't be fooled by this vicious woman. She is the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis' Mansion has become like this. Not only has she not thought about how to revive the Zhennan Marquis' Mansion, but she also has the mind to take the children out to play. Whoever marries such a woman back home will be unlucky for eight lifetimes."

Concubine Xian did not expect Xie Anlan to accuse Liu Yueru so bluntly in front of so many people, and she looked a little displeased.

Seeing that Liu Yueru's face was calm and she didn't seem angry, Concubine Xian said to Xie Anlan, "Princess Anlan, a woman's reputation is as important as her life. Madam Song is my honored guest, so don't talk nonsense."

Xie Anlan looked at Liu Yueru with disdain and continued, "She is a vain woman who doesn't care about her own face and wants others to give her a good reputation. Since ancient times, no matter how good the husband's family is, as a wife, shouldn't she follow her husband through thick and thin? But she only wants to share the glory. If this woman is not vain, what is she?"

Xie Anlan's voice was quite loud, causing the noble ladies around to look at Liu Yueru with a little more contempt.

"If I were the son of the Marquis of Zhennan, I would have divorced a woman like this long ago." Xie Anlan became more and more angry as he spoke.

At this time, everyone also heard the tension in her words.

Liu Yueru's eyes fell lightly on Xie Anlan, and she asked calmly, "I don't know how I have offended Princess Anlan, so that Princess Anlan doesn't care about her own reputation and belittles me like this. Forgive my ignorance, but can you tell me what evil things I have done? How did I become the vain person you say?"

Xie Anlan found Liu Yueru's words ridiculous.

She recalled what she had heard in the palace about the Zhennan Marquis Mansion, and continued, "This princess hates women like you who don't practice what they preach. You are hypocritical. This princess will tell you how vicious you are. First, you sent your husband directly to the Dali Temple for punishment for favoring a concubine over his wife, completely disregarding the relationship between husband and wife. Second, you had your adopted son, who had called you mother for several years, imprisoned when he was seriously ill, and then removed him from your name. You are vicious and added insult to injury! Third, you did not do your best to bury Old Madam Song. This is unfilial!"

Everyone's faces changed when they heard what Xie Anlan said. They looked at Xie Anlan as if she was a fool. They were secretly cursing the Prince of Zhennan as a beast in their hearts. However, due to Princess Xie Anlan's identity, no one dared to argue.

Before everyone had figured out what was going on, Xie Anlan continued, "Now that the Marquis's Mansion has fallen into decline, you're eager to sever ties with it, moving out to live in a separate courtyard, and even taking your own servants with you. Doesn't that show that you're just someone who's greedy for fame and fortune?"

Liu Yueru was so angry that she almost laughed at Xie Anlan's words.

Looking at Xie Anlan, he said, "First adopted son, fighting with his classmates in the academy and causing serious injuries to others, is against the law. The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention my adopted son. He is just bearing the consequences of his wrongdoings."

"No one has the power to stop the people from the Second Dali Temple from coming to arrest someone. If they do, it will be hindering the investigation. I don't have the ability to do so, and I dare not do anything that disrupts the investigation. If the princess wants to accuse me of being a poisoner, I will admit it."

"Third, when grandma was buried, I was also seriously ill, and I barely managed to get up to see her off. When grandma was alive, the neighbors all knew that I was the one who took good care of her all these years. When she was sick, I personally fed her medicine three times a day. If I do this and still get labeled as unfilial, I have nothing to say!"

Then, Liu Yueru continued, "The Marquis's Mansion is now managed by Concubine Yuan. The doctor said that I was depressed and needed to leave the sad place to slowly get better. My brother took me to the hunting ground to relax because he felt sorry for me. I used my own dowry to pay the servants monthly wages. They are loyal and I can't bear to sell them out. That's why they have been following me. May I ask Princess, what's wrong with this?"

After hearing what Liu Yueru said, the noble ladies looked at her with sympathy.

But Xie Wenhua stared at Xie Anlan angrily.

His father once told him that if he met someone he wanted to protect, he could use his identity as a child and say anything directly, and he could do things that adults were not convenient to say or do.

This is his advantage as a child. No matter what he does or says, adults can treat it as childish talk.

"Aunt Anlan, your aunt is already pitiful enough. She was deceived by her husband and Old Madam Song and tricked into being the legitimate mother of the concubine's son for so many years. She worked hard for the Marquis's mansion, but in the end, she was scolded by Aunt Anlan for being unfilial. People who don't know would think that Aunt Anlan had fallen in love with the son of the Marquis of Zhennan, so she stood up for him like this!"

Xie Anlan was hit in the sore spot by Xie Wenhua, and his face instantly darkened.

She pointed at Xie Wenhua's face and said angrily: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart."

Xie Wenhua crossed his arms over his chest and said, "Aunt Anlan, you are angry because I said it right, right?"
