Han Miaoyun looked depressed, her frowning brows showing her struggle. She closed her eyes and said, "I told you long ago that she is not suitable for you, but you followed her like a demon. I accept that her family background is not good, and I will turn a blind eye to her stall."

"I will compensate her later. Without this child, you will have others in the future. Can you just listen to me this time?" She opened her eyes and looked at her son pleadingly.

She didn't believe in gods or Buddhas, but when it came to her son and the Xi family, she couldn't be rational, especially since she had someone check Ruan Yin's background. When she was born, her father died on the operating table. According to her grandmother, she was a bad luck star, and if she gave birth to a child...

Hearing this, Xi Changhong looked at his wife in disbelief and said sadly, "Are you crazy?"

After hearing his mother's confession, Xi Xuanyao calmed down and asked, "I want to know the reason, a reason why you want to kill your grandson against your conscience."

Tears welled up in Han Miaoyun's eyes. She turned her back and said, "A few days ago, your grandmother, Zhou Yan and I went to the temple to pray. I don't like to worship Buddha, so I went to the foot of the mountain and met a master."

"He calculated that a new life would be born in our family soon, and he also said that when the child was born, you would... die. He also said that the bad luck of killing your father would be passed down from generation to generation."

She turned around abruptly and asked, "Tell me, what choice should I make? You are my son, are you going to let me watch you being killed?"

"Is this the reason you hired someone to kidnap me?" Ruan Yin pushed open the door and said angrily.

She didn't expect that the culprit turned out to be her mother-in-law. She suspected the first wife, Shen Lanxi, or other people who loved Xi Xuanyao, but she never expected it to be Han Miaoyun!

If she hadn't felt that something was wrong with Xi Xuanyao and that he hadn't been back for so long, and wanted to come and see him, she wouldn't have known that her good mother-in-law would do such a thing. Ruan Yin was so angry that her whole body was shaking. The words "father-killer" were what she hated and feared the most in her life.

"Yinyin, don't get excited." Xi Xuanyao stepped forward and wanted to help her, but was pushed away by Ruan Yin. At this moment, in her eyes, Xi Xuanyao just wanted to defend Han Miaoyun.

Xi Zhian was in a dilemma. She looked at her mother beside her, then at Ruan Yin, but in the end her conscience and morality prevailed.

Xi Xuanyao retracted his hand that was suspended in the air and sneered at Han Miaoyun, "I didn't even know when you started to believe in gods and Buddhas. You believe whatever he says. If he says Huiheng will go bankrupt tomorrow, will you believe it too? Get rid of my son."

Han Miaoyun said excitedly: "Of course I don't believe it, but he accurately told you something that only your father and I know." Only she and Xi Changhong knew about that matter, and they had only resolved the knot not long ago, so it was impossible for anyone else to know about it.

"I had to believe that I was going to be a grandmother of twins and that I would have a headache and fever the next day."

She was not someone who could easily believe these things. She even sent people to inquire about this person. He was a famous demi-immortal in the local area. It was said that his fortune-telling was very effective and many people lined up to have him tell their fortunes.

Xi Xuanyao smiled bitterly: "In that case, did he expect you to attack her? How can you become the grandmother of twins?"

"Didn't I fail? He must have predicted that I would fail." Han Miaoyun seemed to be possessed by a demon. She kept telling herself in her heart that she was not wrong. She did everything for her son and the Xi family.

Xi Zhian looked at her own mother with a hard time explaining, and sighed, "Mom, you must have met a liar. Tell me, how much did he ask for?"

Han Miaoyun looked at her daughter in disbelief, "Even you don't believe me? He didn't ask for a penny, and said he reminded me because it was fate." It was precisely because he didn't ask for money that she found it more credible.

Xi Changhong didn't know what to say. What his wife said seemed to make some sense, but he must not offend his son.

Xi Xuanyao rubbed his brows. If this so-called "master" was fine, he would have been the president of the group in vain. It was such an obvious trap, but he believed it.

Ruan Yin sneered: "I thought that although you looked down on me, at least you behaved properly. Now it seems that I was wrong. The child hasn't even been born yet, and you're accusing her of being a father-killer. They can't afford a grandmother like you." After saying that, she turned and left.

Xi Xuanyao hurriedly stepped forward to hold her, gritted his teeth, and gave Han Miaoyun a strong dose of medicine, "Let me tell you the truth, I was given a sterilization drug, and except for this child, there will be no other offspring." If he didn't say this, with his mother's current level of madness, it might be harmful to Ruan Yin and her own child.

This sentence shocked everyone. Han Miaoyun screamed, "Impossible!"

She held Xi Xuanyao's shoulders and stared into his eyes, trying to find the answer from them. "You said that on purpose, didn't you?"

"More than five months ago, I went to see Ling Xiao for a physical examination, and he said it himself. If I hadn't accidentally broken the bowl that time and discovered the clue, I wouldn't have known that I had been given sterilization drugs. The doctor said there was a high probability that I wouldn't be able to have children, so..."

He looked at Ruan Yin's belly with a gentle look in his eyes. "These are my only two children. No one can take them away, not even you."

Ruan Yin felt mixed emotions, trying to see if he was lying in his eyes, but there was nothing. Was he really so nice to her just because of the child? Just like her aunt said, he was just after the position of heir, and it didn't matter who the child's mother was.

Xi Changhong had a complicated expression and said to Han Miaoyun: "Our family doesn't believe that. My grandson and Xuanyao will definitely be fine."

Han Miaoyun gritted her teeth and asked: "Did she do it? She is the only one who is most afraid that our eldest branch will have many children. I want to tear her apart." Everyone present knew who this "she" was referring to.

Xi Changhong grabbed Han Miaoyun who was running away and advised: "Today is your mother's birthday. If you make too much noise, she might get mad and something bad will happen to her. Have you ever thought about this?"

"Yes, Mom, it's so late now, grandma must be resting." Xi Zhian always felt that her brother was such a smart man, it's impossible for him to get into trouble like this. She was more inclined to believe that her brother was making things serious in order to put an end to her mother's thoughts.

"Even after all this, you are still helping her, Xi Changhong. Xuan Yao is also your son. He was harmed like this, but you don't feel any pain at all. Instead of trying to get justice for him, you even try to stop me." Han Miaoyun kept hitting his chest with both hands and cursed.

"Enough!" Xi Xuanyao could no longer bear it, took a deep breath and said, "Grandma is old and can't stand the stimulation. This is why I have kept this a secret and have not told anyone about it."

Han Miaoyun was startled and her mind suddenly cleared up. If what her son said was true, then she almost handed over the Xi family's property to the eldest wife. When she thought of Huiheng, which her son had worked so hard to run, falling into the hands of the eldest wife, she had a heart attack every time she thought of that scene. She would never let Zhou Yan have her wish!

He looked at Ruan Yin with an apologetic look and said, "I was confused. Don't worry, I won't do that again. From today on, I will do my best to protect you and your son."

Xi Xuanyao was relieved to hear her say this. As for the so-called "master", whether it was a coincidence or man-made would be clear after a quick check.

Ruan Yin didn't appreciate it. If she hadn't been stopped today, the child would have been gone long ago. Now that she apologized so casually, should she forgive her? She was just dreaming!
