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

I am wholeheartedly considering the Xiao family. It would be really disheartening if my man doesn't even understand this.

Madam Xiao thought so and carefully looked at Marquis Xiao's expression.

Lord Xiao listened to Madam Xiao quietly, then slowly raised his head and said, "Are you done?"

Madam Xiao noticed that Marquis Xiao's expression was not right.

This calm look didn't seem like she was convinced by herself, but Madam Xiao still didn't give up and nodded.

"Speak now, now that I have finished speaking, what does the Marquis think?"

"I disagree!"

Lord Xiao uttered these few words almost without any burden.

Mrs. Xiao was stunned at first, then her eyebrows raised and she was subconsciously about to get angry.

However, the maid standing behind her suddenly coughed twice. After coughing, she seemed to realize that she had been impolite and begged for mercy repeatedly.

"My slave, I have offended you, my Lord and Madam, please forgive me!"

Mrs. Xiao was alerted by the cough. She forced herself to remain calm, turned around and glared at the maid in pretended anger.

"Pay attention to me!"

The maid nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Marquis Xiao's attention had shifted from the maid to her face, Madam Xiao forced a smile and continued what she was about to say.

But this time the words were much more tactful.

"My Lord, why don't you agree to this? Isn't this a good thing? Although I don't really believe in this, we can still celebrate the occasion. Maybe it can change the fortunes of our Xiao family."

"You are a girl from the Cui family! Why do you believe in such nonsense? What's the matter with bringing good luck and not bringing good luck?"

Lord Xiao refuted Madam Xiao's words in a bad mood, gave Madam Xiao a lecture, and then continued to be rude.

"Don't you understand why I don't agree to hold a full-month banquet? I know that this child is Xiao Yusheng's only child. I can tolerate the child living in the Xiao family, and I can also treat him as my grandson, but this child still has an awkward identity after all."

"You want to hold a full-month banquet for him. If it's just a small stain, it's fine. But don't forget that Xiao Yusheng is listed in front of the emperor. I personally took away Xiao Yusheng's title in front of the emperor to apologize for my crime. I expressed my position in front of the emperor."

"If I give this title to Xiao Yusheng's son, what do you think the emperor will think? Will those who have grudges against our Xiao family take the opportunity to take revenge and impeach me in front of the emperor? Wouldn't our Xiao family be in trouble again?"

Lord Xiao became angrier as he spoke, and looked at Madam Xiao as if she were a fool.

"And you want to hold this full moon party in a grand manner. Are you sure you want to show off your connections? Rather than letting others laugh at our family?"

"I'm afraid that if you really do this, the Third Prince will not only not reconsider re-employing us, but will even want to stay away from us. There's no need to talk about this matter anymore. Anyway, I don't agree!"

Lord Xiao was very resolute in his attitude and his words were well-reasoned and Madam Xiao was choked by his words.

Although he had discussed with Xie Ruyu before how to convince Lord Xiao, he did not expect that Lord Xiao's counterattack would be so well-reasoned.

Madam Xiao was a little anxious. After thinking about it, she couldn't hold back her temper.

"What should we do? The child has just been born, and you, as a grandfather, already despise him. You said you want to treat him as your grandson, but if you don't hold this full-month banquet for him, won't he always live in the midst of a joke in the future?"

"As for the emperor... the emperor is the true emperor, he shouldn't be so stingy... you also said that you took this title away from Xiao Yusheng in order to apologize for his crime. Everyone has their own responsibility. Xiao Yusheng has already taken on what he should take on. Doesn't that mean he can no longer be the crown prince?"

Mrs. Xiao started to make trouble.

"This matter has been turned over, so what's wrong with giving this title to Xiao Yusheng's son? Don't forget that Yusheng is our legitimate son. You have loved him so much since he was a child. Now that Xiao Yusheng is like this, can't you give him some respect?"

"The full moon banquet is to give dignity to the child and Xiao Yusheng. Don't forget that besides being the head of the Xiao family, you are also Yusheng's father!"

When she came to the latter part, Mrs. Xiao really couldn't control her temper and couldn't help but complain in a crying voice.

Just then, there was a sound of a child crying in the room, and there seemed to be the sound of a vase breaking.

Lord Xiao's patience had just run out. He stood up, glanced meaningfully at Xie Ruyu's room, then swung his sleeves at Madam Xiao in annoyance.

"You are totally unreasonable! I am indeed Xiao Yusheng's father. It's not that I don't love him. I am doing this for his own good and for the good of the entire Xiao family!"

"Hold a grand full moon banquet for that child? You're lucky you could come up with that idea. I said no and it's no. Don't even think about inviting your mother's family, the Cui family, because I won't allow it. Without my consent, I don't think anyone in the Xiao family would dare to listen to you and hold a banquet!"

After saying that, he snorted and strode away, and the two parted unhappily again.

Madam Xiao didn't care about her plan at this time. She was so angry that she wanted to chase after him and continue arguing with Marquis Xiao, but she was quickly stopped by the maid.

The maid breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the master disappear at the gate of the courtyard, then she tried to persuade Madam Xiao.

"Ma'am, calm down. Don't be anxious. Being anxious won't solve any problems right now. Let's go in and take a look. We don't know what happened inside. Could something have happened?"

Mrs. Xiao then remembered that there seemed to be a sound of something breaking in the house, and hurriedly followed the maid into the house. However, at a glance, she saw that the child was held in the arms of the wet nurse and his crying was much quieter.

As for the vase, it was indeed broken into pieces on the floor, and two maids were currently cleaning it up.

There was no movement on the bed behind the screen.

At this time, Xie Ruyu's voice sounded.

"Mom, mom, are you okay?"

Madam Xiao tried to control her emotions and glared fiercely at the maid who was cleaning up the broken pieces of the vase.

"What are you doing? You actually smashed things. If you hurt the young master, I will show you how I will deal with you!"

The maids knelt down respectfully.

Mrs. Xiao was so annoyed that she ignored them, walked around the screen and went inside, not forgetting to call the wet nurse in as well.

He glanced at his grandson who had been coaxed into submission, and seeing his wrinkled little face, he felt so distressed that he couldn't help but complain to Xie Ruyu.

"I was just having a lively conversation with the Marquis, why are you making such a fuss in your room? You can't even control the people in the room, what else can you do?"

Madam Xiao was obviously taking her anger out on others.

If she had been able to reach an agreement with Marquis Xiao just now, she wouldn't have been so angry. Instead of venting her anger on Marquis Xiao, Mrs. Xiao naturally vented it all on Xie Ruyu.
