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

Xiao Yu'an did not refute his mother's concerns and nodded.

"Mom's worries are reasonable, but I don't think Xie Ruyu would do that."

But Feng Xiaoniang thought her son looked down on women and reminded him.

"Yuan'an, although Xie Ruyu has no status in the Xiao family now, the baby in her belly is Xiao Yusheng's only child. If it is a boy, he will be eligible to inherit the title. Madam will definitely not miss this opportunity."

"If we actively seek the Marquis's help, the title might just fall on the child's head. Then, wouldn't our efforts be in vain? So we have to be on guard. Don't underestimate women, especially mothers. Xie Ruyu is very ambitious, so we have to be on guard!"

"Mom is right!"

Xiao Yu'an agreed with Feng Xiaoniang's words and then began to explain.

"But don't worry, mother. I'm not arrogant. I just think Xie Ruyu won't do anything to us."

Xiao Yu'an snorted coldly, his face full of disdain.

"I still say that. Xiao Yusheng is now useless. If we have to say who has the best chance of inheriting the title in the entire Cheng'en Marquisate, it would naturally be me. It's not that I'm arrogant, but the children in the family are useless and the young ones are too young."

"Except for Xiao Yusheng, the legitimate son, the others are neither legitimate nor the eldest. Why can't I be the most qualified to inherit the title? Therefore, as long as I am capable, even if Xie Ruyu really instigates, father will not listen. If I am a waste, or mediocre, Xie Ruyu will not need to instigate in front of father."

"And this woman will not do useless work, and she will not dare to take the risk of doing something that will harm others and herself at this critical juncture. The most important thing for her now is to gain a firm foothold in the Xiao family. Why would she provoke us for no reason? It will only make enemies for herself."

Xiao Yu'an said this, and after pondering for a moment, he said seriously.

"My son thinks that she must have other plans, and her purpose should be to gain a firm foothold in the Xiao family, but I can't guess what it is at the moment."

"But mother is right. This woman is not honest. We have to keep an eye on her and be on guard, but we don't have to worry too much."

After listening to her son's words, Feng Xiaoniang knew that he was not underestimating Xie Ruyu, but had come to the conclusion after careful analysis that there was no threat for the time being. She smiled and felt relieved.

"You're right. The most important thing for this woman right now is to gain a firm foothold in the Xiao family. She really doesn't have the time or the qualifications to make enemies for herself. So let's wait and see what she wants to do. After all, your father is not a soft-hearted person."

"Your father knows what kind of person you are after all these years. He won't listen to the nonsense of a woman who has only been in the Xiao family for a few days. If Xie Ruyu really said that, I think we don't need to do anything. Your father will teach her a lesson."

The mother and son smiled at each other again, showing their tacit understanding.

Just then, a little maid came in hurriedly and said respectfully.

"My dear, there's something wrong outside! There was a sudden commotion in the eldest master's yard. I sent someone to ask, and they said that Xie Ruyu had suddenly started a fight, but the situation is not good. Madam has already sent several groups of people out to get a doctor!"

"What? Xie Ruyu launched the attack?"

After hearing this, Feng Xiaoniang was stunned at first, and then immediately asked back. After getting the maid's affirmative answer again, Feng Xiaoniang just laughed.

"This is quite a coincidence."

Xiao Yu'an frowned, not knowing what he was thinking about. After a while, he looked at his mother and asked.

"Mom, tell me, is Xie Ruyu's sudden attack related to her going to Dad's study?"

Feng Xiaoniang thought about it and shook her head: "It should be not. After all, Xie Ruyu's baby was indeed born in the past few days."

Feng Xiaoniang waved her hand indifferently and sneered.

"Giving birth to a child is like going through the gates of hell. There is no point in considering these things now. After all, if Xie Ruyu can't get through this, all our efforts will be in vain."

"No matter what Xie Ruyu plans, she has to get through this first, otherwise all her plans will be in vain if she dies."

Having said this, Feng Xiaoniang said to Xiao Yu'an.

"It's late at night now, you should go back and get some rest. Just pretend you don't know about this matter. It has nothing to do with you anyway. Let's just wait for news."

Xiao Yu'an thought about it and felt that it made sense.

If he is still awake at this time, should he know about what happened in the Xiao family or not?

So just pretend to be asleep and don't know anything, so as to avoid making a difficult decision for yourself.

It would be fine if Xie Ruyu was Xiao Yusheng's legal wife, but Xie Ruyu's identity was awkward and she had no status in the Xiao family.

But in private, she is indeed Xiao Yusheng's woman, and can barely be considered Xiao Yu'an's sister-in-law.

If Xiao Yu'an knew about this, considering the friendly and respectful image that he usually displayed towards Xiao Yusheng, he would have to send someone to say hello.

But with Xie Ruyu's status, he really didn't have the qualifications, so it was better to just pretend to be stupid and fool the situation, so Xiao Yu'an just said goodbye.

After Xiao Yu'an left, Feng Xiaoniang gave Xiaodie some instructions.

"Keep the lights on tonight. If someone calls, I'll go over. If no one calls, we'll just pretend we don't know. Do you understand?"

Xiaodie understood what the little girl meant and couldn't help but grumble.

"Young lady, do we really need to light this lamp? Xie Ruyu is not the master of the Xiao family yet. Although you are a female doctor with good medical skills, there are so many doctors in the mansion, and they are not kept for nothing."

"Besides, the Madam has gone out to get a doctor, so she doesn't need you at all. You are half the master after all. Why should I ask you to step in for such a matter?"

When Feng Xiaoniang heard what Xiaodie said, she was not angry, but spoke seriously.

"Whether it's suitable or not is not up to us to decide. Don't forget who the entire Xiao family has to listen to. I left the light on to avoid being criticized. Whether others need it or not is not up to us to decide, but we have to do it well and not let others find fault with us."

"If Xie Ruyu doesn't make it through this, Madam might take advantage of the situation and accuse me of being a heartless doctor. How will the Marquis look at me then? In short, I have medical skills, and at a time like this, I can't just stand by and watch someone die."

"Of course, the premise is that someone comes to ask for help. If no one comes, then there is no need for me to save you. That's it."

Xiaodie felt that what the little girl said made some sense, so she swallowed her dissatisfaction and helped the little girl to rest.

On the other side, in Xiao Yusheng's yard.

Xie Ruyu's room was in chaos at this time. In the delivery room with the curtains drawn, Xie Ruyu was lying on the bed, sweating profusely from the pain, her face was pale and her lips were bloodless.

In short, he looked like he was about to faint at any moment.
