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

But at that time, Xie Lingxi had already married into the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion, so she didn't inquire about the news in detail, but only heard about it roughly.

If Madam Yang had not been her brother's guru's wife, Xie Lingxi would never have asked such a question out of concern. Now she was very glad that she had asked that question at that time.

Because she roughly knew when and where the accident happened to Ge. It was said that when she was about to give birth, she accidentally fell while returning to her parents' home, and then one person died and two people died...

Thinking of this, Xie Lingxi couldn't help but count the days in her mind and looked at Ge's belly again.

If my memory is correct, Ge should be returning to her parents' home in two months.

Thinking of this, Xie Lingxi couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Looking at Ge's bright smile, Xie Lingxi secretly made up her mind that since this couple took such good care of her brother, whether it was just human nature or she wanted to repay the favor, she had to save Ge from this disaster!

In the next two months, you can interact more with Ge. With the interaction, your relationship will naturally improve, and you will also have the opportunity to interfere in the decision.

If she can't be persuaded when the time comes, the worst that can happen is that I will stay with Ge every day during the days before delivery.

I take care of her personally and cannot let anything happen to Ge again.

Thinking of this, Xie Lingxi already had a plan, so she took the initiative to reach out and hold Ge's hand, and spoke.

"Mrs. Yang, I am really grateful for your care for me in the academy. We should have more contact in the future. To be honest, I feel close to you as soon as I see you."

"My mother isn't close to her family, so I don't have much contact with my maternal family, but I've always wanted to have an aunt. If Madam Yang doesn't mind, how about I call you aunt?"

There was no suspicion of flattery in Xie Lingxi's words; her words were filled with gratitude and joy for Master Yang and his wife.

It's so sincere that it's impossible to refuse.

Ge was quite surprised.

He turned his head and glanced at Master Yang.

Master Yang did not stop him, but just raised his chin to show encouragement.

Mrs. Ge's smile widened a little, she grabbed Xie Lingxi's hand and held it tightly, her smile seemed to be able to dazzle others.

"Oh, you little girl! Of course you can. You don't know that when I saw you, I felt kind to you. I dreamed of having a well-behaved daughter like you, but I can't take away someone else's goodness."

"If you are willing to call me aunt, I will be very happy, but you are Miss Xie, I..."

"Auntie, don't say such things!"

Xie Lingxi quickly interrupted what Ge was saying, took Ge's arm and said seriously.

"As long as Auntie doesn't dislike me, I will be your niece in the future. We should visit each other more often, during festivals or whenever I have something to do. I miss you and I have to go talk to you. Auntie, please don't drive me out!"

Xie Lingxi acted very clingy, and it was so clingy that Xie Zhibai was a little dazed.

My dear sister, since she grew up, seems to rarely act like this in front of our mother, right?

Although he also felt that Ge was very kind, he didn't want her to be his aunt right away. Besides, Lingxi hadn't discussed it with her mother yet. If she just accepted someone as her aunt, he didn't know if her mother would be jealous...

But Xie Zhibai dotes on his younger sister after all, and Ge is his younger brother's teacher's wife. If his younger sister recognizes such an aunt, it will actually be a good thing for his younger brother.

It is another level of closeness.

So Xie Zhibai just shamelessly bowed to Ge.

"Speaking of which, I also see that Madam Yang wants to get close to her. If you don't mind, why don't you recognize another nephew and give me another aunt."

Xie Zhibai's interruption made the atmosphere much more cheerful.

Master Yang stood up in an unpleasant tone. He seemed to be making sense, but in fact he waved his hand with a hint of disgust and kept Xie Zhibai at a distance.

"Master Xie, please don't. You are the prince of the Marquis's Mansion. My wife can't afford a noble nephew like you. It is a blessing to recognize Miss Xie as her niece."

Mrs. Ge also hurriedly said, "Oh, this won't work, this won't work, thank you, Master, please don't make me feel bad. I come from a humble family, so I really can't get married."

Mrs. Ge's words were not out of self-abasement, but she really felt that she was not worthy of such a noble nephew like Xie Zhibai.

Xie Lingxi also heard that Ge's family background was not good, although they were not of slavery or low status.

But her family was poor and there was no capable person in the family. Rumor had it that she was a family of peasants, and marrying Master Yang was considered a great marriage.

Anyway, after Xie Lingxi married into the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion in her previous life, she had more or less heard some gossip among the ladies' circle.

Some ladies occasionally mentioned the Ge family, but they didn't seem to care much, which was still good. Some people even directly mocked the Ge family's background...

Thinking of this, Xie Lingxi frowned and directly stopped her brother from recognizing her as his aunt. After all, having her was enough.

After such a long chat, the atmosphere became tense and tense, but finally returned to normal.

Since she was his wife's eldest niece, Master Yang no longer looked at Xie Lingxi with such politeness as before. He was much closer to her and treated Xie Lingxi as his own junior.

In addition, Xie Lingxi was smart and pleasing to his eyes, so Master Yang rarely gave her any advice.

"Since Miss Xie has recognized my wife as her aunt, I will shamelessly call you my niece. As a junior of our family, I will not be polite to you. What you said just now makes sense, but do you know why I left the Hanlin Academy? And left the Imperial College?"

Xie Lingxi actually already had an idea in her mind, but she did not answer. Instead, she pretended to be confused and asked.

"Lingxi really doesn't understand much, so I'd like to ask Master Yang to help me solve this confusion. If you don't mind, you can just call me Lingxi."

Master Yang stroked his beard, feeling quite satisfied, and then said, "There is no other reason. The rumors outside are all true. I just can't stand those who rely on their background to get to the top but only muddle through and don't do their job properly."

"To put it bluntly, it's like occupying the toilet without doing anything! Whether in the Hanlin Academy or the Imperial College, there are people like this. Not only do they waste their youth and the opportunities given by their families, but they also occupy positions that should belong to others. But I can't change anything by myself."

Master Yang smiled bitterly.

"Originally, I was thinking about leaving the capital and being transferred to a local government to serve as an official, so that I could do something practical for the people. But I talked about this issue in depth with my family elders. They know me better than I do. They all think that it would be better for me to stay in the capital and teach instead of serving as an official."

"After all, I can't even stay in small circles like the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College. If I go to the countryside, I don't have any family connections to help me. I can't do anything with just my so-called talent and my mouth. I will definitely be unable to move forward."
