But when these words reached Yuan's ears, it was not that simple.

"What do you mean? Are you blaming me for not doing a good job? If you have the ability, go ahead. You are just a gatekeeper, do you really think you are the boss?"

"When have I ever seen you stand up for me and my son when we were bullied? You are just a coward!"

Yuan vented all her dissatisfaction over the years, but when she finished, she regretted it because all the descendants and servants of the Xie family were here.

"Snapped!"

The slap made her dizzy and she sat down on the ground, but the maids didn't dare to go forward to help her.

Xie Songqiao was so angry that his face turned red and he wished he could tear this woman apart with his bare hands.

"Say it to me again if you dare!" His eyes were red and he could no longer hide his urge to kill.

Seeing this, Bai Yuan stepped forward to stop him, "Uncle, calm down. We don't know how old grandma is. Let's talk about it later."

Xie Songqiao was still furious, but everyone was looking at him and he couldn't vent his anger hysterically, so he could only endure it for the time being.

"Humph!" He pointed at Yuan and threatened, "Mother is ill. I won't argue with you today. We will settle all old and new scores some other day."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

The maids then dared to step forward and help Yuan up.

"Madam, are you okay? Look at the slap on your face. I was too harsh on you."

But Yuan was panicked. She had no time to care about her injuries. She just blamed herself for being too reckless and angering Xie Songqiao. Her good days were completely over.

"Liang'er, where's Liang'er?"

Seeing her distraught look, Yun Zhihan comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I have sent the servants to the restaurant to invite them. I believe they will be here soon."

I don’t know whether Yuan listened to me or not, but in any case, she didn’t respond.

Tuoba Hong stood in the distance and watched all this silently. He couldn't help shaking his head in his heart. This Xie Songqiao was far from Brother Songlin. He actually beat a woman in public? Such a villain is not worthy of being a human being at all.

The Xie family must not fall into the hands of this person, otherwise Brother Songlin will be so angry that he will jump out of his grave.

However, Bai Yuan's performance was truly satisfying. He was calm and composed, acting like a family head. It must be that Madam Xie had trained him well.

The farce outside the house ended, and the court doctor walked out with a heavy face.

Yun Zhihan took the lead and walked in front of him, "Doctor, how is my mother?"

"Madam Xie, I'm sorry I can't do anything. Madam Xie's stroke is very serious. Even if a heavenly doctor came down to earth, I'm afraid he would be helpless."

As soon as these words were spoken, there were cries of crying in the main hall, some were real crying, and some were just crying to join in the fun.

"Doctor, how long does my mother have left?"

"If you take good care of her, and I prescribe medicine, she will be able to survive for another two to three years. But I'm afraid the old lady won't be able to take care of herself, and her speech and walking will be affected."

Yun Zhihan was very happy after hearing this. The evil guy finally got his retribution.

"Doctor, thank you for your help." As she said that, she asked Jinshang to hand over three silver ingots.

"Mrs. Xie, I don't deserve this!"

"Doctor, just keep it. You have done your best to prescribe the medicine, and we, as your children, have done our best to be filial to you."

"Please rest assured, Madam Xie. I will do my best."

"How is mother now? Is she awake?"

"The old lady has woken up, but she is very weak and can't stand the big shock."

"Of course." Yun Zhihan bowed and ordered Jinshang to take the court doctor to the outer room for tea.

"Second Madam, what should we do now?" Everyone was at a loss of ideas, and Yuan's eyes were dull. She was the only one left to take charge of the situation.

“Who is managing the household affairs now?”

"Replying to the Second Madam, it's the Old Madam."

At this moment, Bai Liang hurried over. When Yuan saw him, her eyes suddenly lit up and she pounced on him.

"Liang'er, Liang'er, you are finally here!"

Bai Liang saw that her mother looked upset and asked with concern, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Liang'er, please don't abandon your mother. You are the only one left in my life!"

Bai Liang was confused and looked up at everyone, but everyone kept their heads down and remained silent.

"Mom, it's okay. I will protect you and won't let anyone hurt you."

After hearing this, Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, fortunately she still had a good son, and Xie Songqiao did not dare to divorce her easily.

Yun Zhihan sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, Yuan'er, Liang'er, come with me to visit the old lady. Except for the personal servants and maids, everyone else will wait here."

"Yes!"

Tuoba Hong was worried, so he lowered his head, blended into the crowd, and followed in.

Since everyone's attention was elsewhere, no one paid attention to his whereabouts.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw that the old lady had already sat up. Nanny Liang beside her was taking care of her attentively. When she saw everyone, she cried, "First Madam, Second Madam, the old lady..."

Before he could finish his words, he started sobbing.

Yun Zhihan ignored her and asked, "How do you feel, mother? The court doctor said that you are suffering from a mental illness caused by anger. You will be fine after you calm down for a while."

"Call him!" The old lady stretched out her hand and spoke unclearly. No one knew what she was saying.

"What is mother saying?" Yun Zhihan knew, but she could pretend not to hear, "Are you asking me to take charge of the household affairs?"

"Ah, ah...right." Old Madam Xie's neck was unable to move. She really wanted to say no, but Yun Zhihan just wouldn't agree with her.

"In this case, your daughter-in-law is willing to take charge of the household affairs again. You can have a good rest."

The old lady was helpless, and Nanny Liang, who was sitting beside her, was also anxious. She guessed that the old lady might want the second lady to take care of her personally.

"Madam, do you want the Second Madam to take care of it personally?"

"Ah!" The old lady blinked, as if that was what she meant.

But Yun Zhihan was immediately upset. This old woman was dreaming! She thought she was the mistress of the original book? She let her bully and bully him.

"Of course I want to take care of my mother myself, but I have not been feeling well recently, and the court doctor told me to work less. Now I am back in charge of the household affairs, so I..."

As he spoke, Yun Zhihan also started crying.

Xie Boyuan couldn't bear to see his mother working so hard, so he took the initiative to take the responsibility, "Grandma, I can take care of your daily life for you."

But the old lady screamed and cried desperately, obviously refusing. How could she let the eldest grandson of the Xie family take care of her?

After Bai Liang came in, Yuan came to her senses. She had nothing now except Liang'er, and she must eliminate all those who blocked her son's progress.

"Sister-in-law, let me do it."

Yun Zhihan was shocked, "Sister-in-law, are you sure?"

"Of course, I am also a member of the Xie family, so I naturally have to be filial to my mother."

But Nanny Liang knew what the old lady was thinking. She wanted Yun Zhihan to bleed, because only she had the financial resources to make her illness better.

"Madam, what the old lady meant is to let the second lady come. Respecting the elders' ideas is the embodiment of filial piety."

Yun Zhihan was speechless. Does this person need to fleece someone else?
