"How could I possibly harm your biological mother? Although I have been childless since I married your father, there is a reason for that."

Old Madam Xie slowly told the story that Old Master Xie fell in love with her cousin, but her cousin was a poor woman who was staying at the Xie family. Old Master Xie's mother didn't want her son to marry a woman who was of no use to him, so she insisted on separating the two of them and arranged a marriage for him with another woman, namely Old Madam Xie.

As a girl, you have to get married eventually.

Before the engagement, Old Master Xie came to see Old Madam Xie and told her about the existence of his cousin. He also promised her that he could give her the power to manage the household and give her the respect she deserved, as long as she let him marry his cousin.

Old Madam Xie didn't care about love or affection at all. After receiving a lot of benefits, she readily agreed. As long as the two of them didn't act out of line and gave her due respect in public, she wouldn't make things difficult for them.

This was indeed the case after the marriage. The cousin hardly appeared in front of Old Madam Xie and lived in seclusion in a corner. Old Master Xie also never spent the night in Old Madam Xie's room. After giving birth, she developed a chronic illness and was in poor health. She died within a few years.

"I thought their love was as strong as gold, but before long your father took in many beautiful concubines in the mansion."

Madam Xie looked at Mr. Xie with a mocking look, "If you were to ask who harmed your mother, it was you. If it wasn't for giving birth to you, how could she have gotten sick?"

Mr. Xie seemed unwilling to believe what Mrs. Xie said, "No, you were jealous of my mother's favor, so you killed her and made her suffer from chronic poisoning, and finally passed away."

"Hahahaha." The old lady laughed, "I'm jealous of her being favored? For a coward who wants the family business but doesn't dare to confront his family?"

"You are talking nonsense. As a woman, how can you not desire to be favored by your husband and watch him favor other women every day?"

"Can a woman only live if she is favored by her husband?"

Mrs. Xie asked.

This question stumped Mr. Xie. Shouldn't a woman depend on her husband for living?

"Do you think I am your biological mother and can do nothing but humbly desire a man's love?"

Uncle Xie lowered his head and said nothing more.

After a long while, Old Madam Xie asked again, "Is Guang'er's death related to you?"

Guang'er is Madam Xie's biological son, and Xie Min'er's father.

If what my mother said is true, then what have I been doing all these years?

Uncle Xie nodded slowly, "I thought you killed my biological mother, so I wanted you to experience the pain of losing your own child."

"Asshole." Old Madam Xie swung her hand and slapped him. If Eleven hadn't held Uncle Xie back, he would have been slapped to the ground.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Old Madam Xie started to cough violently. She pointed at Grandpa Xie and said, "Guang'er can be considered to have grown up under your care. How could you treat him like this?"

Eleven let go of Uncle Xie. He slumped to the ground, covering his face with his hands, "I feel so ashamed of Brother Guang."

"Mother, I have one more thing I want to ask you. Can you answer me?"

Madam Xie moved closer to him, "What's the problem?"

A knife was taken out from Mr. Xie's sleeve and stabbed into Mrs. Xie's chest.

"Do you think I will believe this based on your one-sided statement?" Uncle Xie asked viciously.

"Grandma." Xie Min'er ran over anxiously and supported the person.

Yu Jiahe also hurried to stop the bleeding and treated the old lady.

Eleven controlled Uncle Xie again. He originally thought that Uncle Xie was sincerely admitting his mistake, but he didn't expect that Uncle Xie actually had a hidden trick up his sleeve.

"After all, I was too soft-hearted." Mrs. Xie sighed.

"Grandma, please stop talking. Sister He will be fine."

"You just want evidence, right? There's yours under the jewelry box..."

Before Mrs. Xie finished her words, Mr. Xie rushed to the dressing table and rummaged through the jewelry box. He poured all the gold and silver jewelry out onto the floor.

He could feel that there was a layer under the jewelry box, but he didn't know how to open it. In a fit of anger, he smashed the entire jewelry box to pieces, revealing several pieces of paper inside, all of which were written by Old Master Xie.

One piece of paper contained various agreements made before their marriage. One piece of paper allowed her to raise Uncle Xie. When his biological mother died, Madam Xie did not want to raise a troublesome child at first. But she could not resist Old Master Xie's repeated requests and he gave her a lot of good things. So she adopted Uncle Xie. However, she also made three rules with his father. If Uncle Xie did not respect her, she could drive him out at any time. The third piece of paper was the family property divided by Old Master Xie. Three-fifths were given to Madam Xie's biological children, one-fifth to Uncle Xie, and the rest was divided equally among the other illegitimate sons. The fourth piece of paper was written by Old Master Xie before his death. It thanked Madam Xie for her hard work at home all her life and asked her to take care of Uncle Xie in the future.

"They're all fake." Although Uncle Xie said this, he already believed it about 70% in his heart.

But how could he be willing to believe that everything he had done was wrong? He killed his younger brother whom he had raised with his own hands, and poisoned and stabbed his adoptive mother?

"The evidence is in front of you. It's up to you whether you are willing to believe it or not."

Although Mrs. Xie was stabbed, the wound was not deep and with proper treatment, the bleeding was quickly stopped and medicine was applied.

Uncle Xie knelt on the ground and said, "Father, if you are still alive, please give me a clear path to let me know who is right and whether I have done the wrong thing."

Madam Xie sneered, "You actually expect your father to bless you. Do you think he is a good father just because he casually expressed his concern for you?"

"Grandma, don't be angry." Xie Min'er patted Mrs. Xie's back gently.

Madam Xie took a deep breath and continued, "He left you to me right after your mother passed away, and then brought beautiful concubines into the mansion one after another. He never asked about your life. Even when you were sick and told him, he just told the servants to take good care of you. Is this considered a good father?"

Uncle Xie didn’t know what to say, because today had given him a big shock. What he had always believed in turned out to be a scam.

"Cheng'er, would you rather believe an outsider than me who raised you since childhood? Now that you have seen the evidence, can you tell me who lied to you about the past?"

"It's Aunt Mei."

When Mrs. Xie heard the name, she thought of that person. Aunt Mei was the woman who looked most like Mr. Xie's biological mother. Since she came to the Xie Mansion, she had been greatly favored because of her face.
