Xie Ruyu could only endure it and had to turn around to comfort Mrs. Xiao.

"Mother, I know you had an unhappy argument just now. I heard it all in the room. I asked the maid to smash the vase on purpose because I was afraid you would continue talking. If you continue, the Marquis will definitely be angry."

Madam Xiao immediately raised her eyebrows.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I was just talking to the Marquis, why is he angry? Besides, he is usually like this and he cares about his reputation."

When she said this, Mrs. Xiao glared at Xie Ruyu fiercely.

"After all, if it weren't for you, our Xiao family wouldn't have ended up like this. If it weren't for your tainted mother, my beloved grandson wouldn't even have been able to have a full moon banquet!"

"The Marquis' biggest concern just now was because of you. Because of you, our Xiao family has lost face. Because of you, Yu Sheng was stripped of his title as the Crown Prince."

The further she talked, the angrier Mrs. Xiao became, without any concealment or mercy.

Xie Ruyu cursed him terribly.

The child was born, but because of Xie Ruyu, the child was destined to be laughed at. Mrs. Xiao did not think that she had said anything wrong.

It’s all Xie Ruyu’s fault!

Xie Ruyu endured it again and again, but it was not long since she had given birth to a child, so her temper began to flare up.

But this time, before Xie Ruyu could say anything, a little maid ran in hurriedly and said in a panic.

"Oh no, oh no, Madam, Miss Ruyu, something happened at Qingfeng Academy. The Second Young Master, the Second Young Master is talking about Miss Xie Ruyu at the academy..."

The little maidservant told the story of Qingfeng Academy in a rush. The main reason was that the academy was not deliberately concealed, so some students who were more talkative told it directly, and it naturally reached the ears of the Xiao family.

The little maid happened to be buying snacks at a snack shop near Qingfeng Academy. She heard what happened and hurried back to report.

"What did you say?"

Madam Xiao couldn't believe it, she was shocked and angry, and she grabbed the maid's arm.

The maid was startled and nodded quickly.

"What I said is true. I heard it with my own ears from the students of Qingfeng Academy when they came out to chat. I listened very carefully at the time, realized something was wrong, and came back to report it immediately!"

The maid spoke more and more fluently.

Madam Xiao let her go, or perhaps she was too excited and angry and let go of her hand.

Mrs. Xiao glared at Xie Ruyu with gritted teeth.

"What's going on? When did you collude with that bastard Xiao Yu'an? Are you crazy? You actually let Xiao Yu'an pass a message to you?"

Xie Ruyu's face was not looking good either. She realized that she had been plotted against. She also realized that the fool Madam Xiao had misunderstood her. She was angry in her heart, but she could only hold back her anger and explain.

"Mom, don't fall for other people's tricks. I didn't know anything about this matter. Xiao Yu'an must have deliberately used my reputation to pick a fight with Xie Zhiqing at Qingfeng Academy. His purpose was to ruin my reputation..."

"No, Xiao Yu'an's goal is to prevent my son from inheriting the title! That guy has evil intentions and deliberately set us up this time. How could I let Xiao Yu'an convey a message to me?"

"Given my relationship with Xie Lingxi, even if I really want to say something to Xie Lingxi, I will go there in person. I will never ask someone else to go, let alone let Xiao Yu'an go. Mom, do you think I'm that stupid? I can't do this either. That bastard Xiao Yu'an is a rival to my son!"

Listening to Xie Ruyu's explanation, Mrs. Xiao gradually calmed down.

Yes, Xie Ruyu is not a fool, he is a little smart. How could he let Xiao Yu'an pass a message on his behalf?

Therefore, this matter was planned by Xiao Yu'an from the beginning to the end. Xiao Yu'an deliberately told others about Xie Ruyu and let others ridicule and talk about Xie Ruyu.

Maybe Xiao Yu'an would mention what Xie Ruyu did in front of the many scholars in Qingfeng Academy. Even if he didn't exaggerate, it would be enough to make people curse him, not to mention whether Xiao Yu'an, the bastard, would deliberately fabricate some nonsense...

Madam Xiao felt she couldn't breathe just thinking about it and almost fell backwards. Fortunately, her maid held her up in time.

Seeing this, Xie Ruyu immediately said with concern.

"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you help Madam sit down? Hurry up and pour Madam some water!"

Immediately, a maid brought warm tea to Madam Xiao. Madam Xiao had no choice but to drink it. After moistening her throat, she wanted to speak again, but Xie Ruyu spoke first.

Xie Ruyu suddenly asked in confusion.

"But how did Xiao Yu'an think of using me to make trouble? He is a grown man and a scholar. You wouldn't deliberately ruin the reputation of a woman like me, right?"

"The means are too despicable. This kind of despicable means seems to be commonly used by women in the harem to compete for favors. Otherwise, which grown man would think of ruining a woman's reputation?"

Xie Ruyu diverted Mrs. Xiao's attention with just a few words.

Mrs. Xiao also calmed down. After hearing what Xie Ruyu said, she subconsciously thought about what Xie Ruyu said.

It really made her think of it!

Who could be the culprit who set the trap for himself and Xie Ruyu this time? Could it be Feng Xiaoniang?

Speaking of this method, Feng Xiaoniang is considered to be quite capable in the Xiao family's backyard.

At least Madam Xiao thought that she would not have many chances of winning when facing Feng Xiaoniang.

And this time, she took advantage of destroying Xie Ruyu's reputation to snatch the title of her precious grandson. Only Feng Xiaoniang could do such a thing. It almost made her angry to death!

Madam Xiao angrily threw the teacup heavily to the ground: "This bitch!"

Seeing that Mrs. Xiao's anger had been diverted away, Xie Ruyu quickly calmed down and prepared to guess what Xiao Yu'an's purpose was in doing this time.

Xie Ruyu's first reaction was that Xiao Yu'an did this in order to prevent his children from inheriting the Xiao family's title.

But after calming down, Xie Ruyu felt that Xiao Yu'an's doing this was tantamount to hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting himself by eight hundred.

Because his own affairs were also a shame for the Xiao family, Xiao Yu'an, a member of the Xiao family, took the initiative to expose him, and in a place like Qingfeng Academy.

You know, the person who spends the most time in Qingfeng Academy is Xiao Yu'an. Doesn't Xiao Yu'an feel ashamed of himself?

Even if Xiao Yu'an himself does not feel ashamed, it will affect the reputation of the Xiao family. In this case, isn't Xiao Yu'an afraid that the face-conscious Lord Xiao will blame him?

Thinking of Marquis Xiao, Xie Ruyu subconsciously looked at Madam Xiao.

"Mother, when you mentioned the full moon banquet to the Marquis, what was his attitude? Besides rejecting you, what was his expression?"
