"Second, Second Madam, Young Master, why are you here together?"

"Madam Liang, Yuan'er and I want to talk to mother alone. Please go out first."

Nanny Liang didn't dare to make a decision. She glanced at the old lady next to her and saw that she was holding her hand tightly with a look of fear in her eyes.

Old Madam Xie knew very well that Yun Zhihan should have come for the position of head of Yuan'er family. Was she really hoping for her death?

"Second Madam, Young Master, the old madam cannot leave her without someone by her side, so I will serve her here. Madam and Young Master, just speak directly if you have anything to say."

After hearing this, the old lady nodded repeatedly and agreed with her idea.

But Yun Zhihan sneered, "What does Madam Liang mean? Aren't Yuan'er and I human? When the old lady was sick before, wasn't it me who took care of her personally? Why can't she do it today?"

"Besides, my eldest sister-in-law just asked me to come visit my mother a few days ago, but I declined because of my poor health. I came here today to pay my respects to my mother."

"Or does Madam Liang think that I have ulterior motives?"

"Second Madam is worrying too much, and this old servant is talking too much. It's just that with one more person to take care of her, the old lady will be more comfortable."

Xie Boyuan stepped forward and asked, "Madam Liang, do you think my grandson is a waste?"

"Young Master, please calm down. I have no such intention!" Nanny Liang knelt down directly. The old lady's daily life was now a problem. She couldn't afford to offend these two people.

"In that case, please ask Madam Liang to take the maids out." Yun Zhihan once again ordered them to leave.

"This..." Nanny Liang knelt on the ground motionless.

Yun Zhihan obviously had no patience anymore, she was tired of standing.

"Yuan'er, Madam Liang has evil intentions. She took advantage of the old lady's discomfort to seduce the family property. We caught her red-handed. Take her out and give her 20 sticks. Considering her years of care, she will stay for now. If she commits insubordination again, kick her out directly."

"My son understands."

Before Nanny Liang could react, Xie Boyuan picked her up from the ground and walked out of the house.

Seeing this, the little girl next to her trembled all over, worried that her life was in danger.

"What? Do you have any objections?" Yun Zhihan looked at them and asked.

"The servants will be out now."

"Jin Shang, keep an eye on them. If anyone leaks any information, beat him out with sticks."

"The servant understands."

After saying that, Jin Shang took his people and left, leaving only Yun Zhihan and Old Madam Xie in the room.

She sat down beside the old lady and smiled faintly, "Mother, how are you these days? I heard from the court doctor that you may not last another year."

"What do you want to do?" The old lady looked at her in panic and was so scared that she sat back.

"What can a daughter-in-law do? Of course, I will honor you." Yun Zhihan showed a worried look, "Mother, your daughter-in-law is thinking, why don't we establish the head of the family first?"

"In this way, Yuan'er can focus all his attention on government affairs, and the other children in the family can also help them a little. The position of our Xie family will be more stable. What do you think?"

"Don't even think about it!" The old lady knew very well that this was her only bargaining chip to threaten Yun Zhihan. If she handed it over, she would have no way to survive.

When Yun Zhihan heard this, he was not in a hurry, but changed the subject.

"Mother, I like your self-confidence. You always think you have done everything perfectly and that silence can cover up many things."

"Little do you know that if you don't want others to know, you better not do it yourself. One day, the truth about the dirty things you did will finally come to light."

Madam Xie shook her head desperately, "I don't understand what you are saying! You don't have to threaten me."

Yun Zhihan felt a little helpless. Okay, let her take the trouble to talk to her.

"When Concubine Xu was insulted by Xie Songqiao, did you turn a blind eye to it? And when those maids suddenly disappeared from the Marquis' Mansion, did you condone their murder?"

"Of course, there is one more thing." Yun Zhihan's eyes had a hint of murderous intent, "When my parents encountered a landslide, did you tacitly allow Xie Songqiao to do it?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Xie completely collapsed. She shook her head vigorously and kept repeating these two words, "No! No!"

She finally understood why Yun Zhihan's attitude had changed so much. It turned out that she knew everything. When did she know it?

No wonder she was looking forward to her death. This was the first time that Mrs. Xie felt so frightened.

Yun Zhihan ignored her and continued, "Mother, don't panic. Let me tell you one more thing. Yuan'er also knows these things, so he will not stand on the same front with you."

"If mother is sensible, she will just become the head of the family. I can guarantee that your medicinal materials are of the highest quality and can at least allow you to live another three to five years."

"If you insist on not wanting to do so, then the daughter-in-law can only avenge her parents." Yun Zhihan sneered, "Besides, do you think you can stop Bai Yuan from gaining a position in the family?"

"It's impossible! Bai Liang is a bastard, he has no qualifications, and Bai Chen has no interest in the matter of the head of the family, so whether you agree or not, it's just a formality, at most it will be more troublesome to deal with."

At this point, Bai Yuan walked in.

"Mother, Madam Liang has already been beaten, what should we do now?"

"Bring her in. She still needs to continue serving your grandmother."

"Yes!"

Bai Yuan went out and brought the person in.

The old lady looked down and saw that Nanny Liang was covered in blood and had fainted.

Yun Zhihan asked, "Mother, the life and death of Madam Liang is now in your hands. Please make the final decision on the matter of the head of the family."

The old lady looked at Xie Boyuan, hoping that he could persuade his mother to leave her a chance to live, but unfortunately, she only saw indifference in his eyes.

Bai Yuan has been feeling resentful ever since he learned the truth. He would never have imagined that the grandmother who had loved him so much since he was a child was actually one of the murderers of his own grandmother.

There were so many poor lives in the mansion, how could she turn a blind eye? Treating human lives as worthless? He couldn't stand it. His father had fought on the battlefield before, so he had no idea. Now he was in charge.

"Grandma, I think what you said is absolutely right. Firstly, it can show your wisdom and broad-mindedness, and secondly, it will help me to quickly deal with the tedious affairs of the family."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xie shed tears of regret. She was bringing this upon herself. She had thought that if she kept everything secret, nothing would go wrong.

Unexpectedly, one day all the truth was revealed and even his own descendants disowned him.

"As you two said, please ask the elders of each branch to come together tomorrow to witness that I will appoint Bai Yuan as the head of the Xie family."

Yun Zhihan was very satisfied with the result.

"Thank you for your help, mother. Tomorrow I will order Shuanghua to fetch the finest herbs and food from the restaurant to help you replenish your body and prolong your life."

After saying that, the two of them called a doctor for Nanny Liang and left.
