The evil woman becomes the concubine and the villain is crushed to ashes

Xie Yunli kept talking: "As long as Lord Xiao issued a gag order, no one would know about this matter, right? I don't know if I will run into anyone if I help you back."

Xie Ruyu was in great pain and was so angry at her father's words that she couldn't help but curse.

"Can you be less stupid? We can't let more people know that we're here to look for Lord Xiao, not even Lord Xiao's own people. We have to keep it secret... Forget it, there's no point telling you this, just help me go back!"

Xie Yunli was scolded by his daughter. Although he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to say anything more when he saw that his daughter was in great pain. He supported his daughter while muttering to himself and staggered back to Xiao Yusheng's yard.

Both the father and daughter felt that since they were wearing cloaks and quietly avoiding people, no one noticed their whereabouts.

However, they didn't expect that not long after the two of them left, a head popped out from behind a tree, and a pair of eyes stared at their backs, and then left quietly.

Hanmei Garden.

"Girl! Something happened!"

Feng Xiaoniang was sitting in the small room sipping tea. After putting down the teacup, she looked at the chessboard on the table, picked up a white piece and placed it on the board, then picked up a black piece and placed it on the board.

I am playing chess with myself and enjoying myself.

Suddenly, the maid Xiaodie walked in quickly with a sneaky look on her face.

Feng Xiaoniang threw the chess piece she had just picked up back into the box in annoyance.

"What's wrong?" she asked impatiently.

Xiaodie leaned close to Feng Xiaoniang's ear and spoke mysteriously.

Feng Xiaoniang's initial impatience disappeared, turned into surprise, and finally a look of vigilance.

She sat up straight and asked, "Are you telling the truth? Did the messenger see the father and daughter coming out of the Marquis's yard? Are there any others? Did you hear what they were saying?"

Xiaodie shook her head and whispered.

"I didn't hear it. Or rather, I heard it but didn't hear it clearly. The father and daughter must have been whispering to each other. Moreover, they were wearing cloaks in the middle of the night, as if they were afraid of being seen."

"That's fine, but the key point is that it's not normal for the father and daughter to come out of the Marquis's yard in such a mysterious and sneaky way! Girl, what do you think Xie Ruyu wants to do?"

As she spoke, Xiaodie's face changed slightly and she looked terrified.

"My dear, Xie Ruyu could be..."

"Don't think so wildly!"

Feng Xiaoniang interrupted Xiaodie angrily and then pulled Xiaodie's ear.

Xiaodie woke up from the pain: "I said something wrong!"

Feng Xiaoniang said angrily: "You can say anything, but you can't say this kind of thing, especially when there is no evidence."

"Besides, the Marquis wouldn't be so desperate as to attack a pregnant woman, let alone her son's woman. There are men like this, but they are definitely not our Marquis."

After all, Feng Xiaoniang has lived for such an old age and has indeed heard a lot of dirty things, but their lord is not that kind of person.

Only a lustful bastard with no bottom line would do such a thing.

Although the Marquis is a heartless man who puts his own interests first, he is not capable of doing such a thing.

But it was indeed strange that Xie Ruyu came out of the Marquis's courtyard in the middle of the night...

Thinking of this, Feng Xiaoniang felt more and more dissatisfied, and couldn't help but glared at Xiaodie.

"Can the person who arranged to go there be smarter? It's rare to find something unusual, but I didn't hear what was said. What's the use of half a message?"

Xiaodie also felt that this news was both good and bad.

"I asked again and again, and the people we sent to watch said that the timing was not good. It was too dark and they couldn't see clearly, and the distance was too far."

"Besides, there is no one around and it is quiet. She dare not get too close. It would be bad if she is discovered. After all, we have to keep a secret about sending people to watch the Marquis's yard. Otherwise, if the news gets to the Marquis or his wife's ears, it will be another trouble..."

After hearing what Xiaodie said, Feng Xiaoniang calmed down and nodded.

"You're right. We can't let anyone know about this, otherwise it will cause another trouble... Never mind, at least we know that the father and daughter are not honest, but what exactly do they want to do?"

Feng Xiaoniang's curiosity was aroused.

At this moment, a maid quietly walked into the room and said respectfully: "Miss, the second young master is here."

Hearing this, the confusion on Feng Xiaoniang's face was replaced by joy, and she smiled and said.

"Why don't you invite the young master in?"

After a while, Xiao Yu'an, the second son of the Xiao family, walked quickly into the house.

"Why are you here at this time? Why don't you take a rest quickly? Don't stay up late to study. I am studying medicine. Only when I get enough sleep and rest well can I have the energy to study the next day. Don't push yourself too hard."

When she saw her son, Feng Xiaoniang immediately turned into a loving mother. She began to care about her son's health and couldn't help nagging him.

Xiao Yu'an smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother. I know I will fall asleep soon. I came here just to ask if you have any incense to calm your nerves. I have to go see Xiao Yusheng tomorrow, so I have to bring something with me."

Mrs. Feng sneered, "Just take whatever you want. That loser won't take it anyway. My poor son will be scolded by that loser. It's really hard for you."

There was no dissatisfaction on Xiao Yu'an's face, but instead he showed a sarcastic smile.

"What are you talking about, mother? How can this be a problem? From childhood to adulthood, haven't we had enough problems? Now that Xiao Yusheng has become a waste, I can stimulate him by visiting him more often. Caring for him is just superficial. In fact, I am just here to laugh at his joke."

"We all know about this matter. Xiao Yusheng knows it, and Madam knows it too. But as long as my father thinks that I am a filial son and a virtuous brother, it will be fine. The more sensible and considerate I am, the more Xiao Yusheng will seem to be ungrateful."

"If this continues, father will only hate Xiao Yusheng more. The position of the Crown Prince will fall to our side sooner or later. If we endure the anger for a while, we will benefit in the long run. Mother, this is what you taught me, and I will remember it!"

Hearing her son say this, Feng Xiaoniang was stunned. It took her a while to react. A complex expression appeared on her face, feeling both relieved and distressed.

She held her son's face and said, "Yuan'an, it's all my fault for being useless. If I had a good family background like Madam, and gave you enough support, I wouldn't have let you suffer in Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion for so many years. I really wronged you!"

Xiao Yu'an chuckled, held his mother's hands in both, and said seriously.

"Don't say that, mother. A blessing in disguise. Xiao Yusheng does have a capable and reliable mother, but so what? He himself is not a waste. Before his body became disabled, he was a waste with all four limbs intact. Now that even his legs are disabled, he can no longer be a man. He has become a complete waste."
