The Lady's Code for Raising Her Husband

Chapter 493 Underestimating Gu Changping’s Courage

Gu Changping's meaning was very clear. Since both the emperor and the queen admitted that keeping snakes as pets was not an inappropriate behavior, then why did Feng and Xie Ziyan make such a fuss?

real or fake? The emperor and queen allowed them to keep snakes as pets, and also allowed them to bring them into the palace for banquets? Feng didn't quite believe it, but didn't dare to refute it rashly. After all, the Xie family has been away from the center of power for a long time, and they don't know much about the preferences of those in power. She hadn't even been to the palace for many years. The last celebration banquet was because the Xie family was negotiating a marriage with Pingnan Prince's Mansion, and because of their influence, sisters Xie Qingling and Xie Ziyan were able to attend.

After all, why did Gu Changping dare to grab Xie Ziyan for a snake? Wasn't it because he was superior to others? Mrs. Feng concluded that Gu Changping was using his power to suppress others, and was very unhappy. She paused several times with the crutch in her hand, and called out to Xie Ziyan: "Second girl, come here."

Are you planning to ask her to apologize and then make her pay the bills? ? Xie Ziyan secretly complained that Feng had given in so quickly and said: "Grandma, don't listen to him. Mrs. Ning Hui just let a snake bite me. Even if the snake is her pet, it must be wrong for her to let a snake bite someone, right?" ?”

This snake still bites people? She just said, how can I keep a snake as a pet? Feng's attitude immediately became tough again. But before she could say anything, Gu Changping asked Xie Ziyan: "Did this snake bite you? Where is the wound?"

Xie Ziyan couldn't answer, but she reacted quickly and said immediately: "She wanted to let the snake bite me. Fortunately, I acted quickly and killed the snake, so I didn't get bitten."

"How dare you lie in front of people?" Gu Changping said, pointing at Xie Qingling, "Just now your sister clearly said that this snake has been on my cousin's body and not near you at all. What if my cousin deliberately released the snake? If I want to bite you, why not just throw the snake on you? Could it be that this snake can bite you from a distance?"

"She wanted to do this...she had this intention..." Xie Ziyan turned over and over, unable to explain clearly, so she had to give Xie Qingling a fierce look. It's all her fault for favoring outsiders, otherwise she wouldn't be so passive now.

Ye Yuxiao saw the way Xie Ziyan looked at Xie Qingling, and suddenly remembered the relationship between Xie Qingling and Gu Changping. She quickly walked to Gu Changping and pulled his sleeves, telling him to save some face for Xie Qingling and not to expose the Xie family in front of her. Pushing too hard.

Xie Qingling noticed Ye Yuxiao's little movements, but walked over, pulled her aside, and whispered: "You can handle this matter how you want to, don't worry about me."

After she finished speaking, she squeezed Ye Yuxiao's hand and winked at her again.

Ye Yuxiao looked at her like this and wanted to laugh inexplicably. Why did she think Xie Qingling was happy to see her grandmother and cousin suffer? Since that's the case, there's nothing to worry about and let Gu Changping attack them to his heart's content.

On the other side, Gu Changping increased his tone and asked Xie Ziyan again: "Will you pay compensation? Just tell me."

"No compensation!" Xie Ziyan replied angrily, "You are all in the same group, you are bullying others!"

"Okay." Gu Changping turned and left.

"What are you going to do?" Xie Ziyan shouted behind him.

"Wait to go to court and file a lawsuit." Gu Changping took Ye Yuxiao away without looking back.

Going to court? Litigation? Xie Ziyan was a little panicked and hugged Feng's arm: "Grandma!"

Isn't it ridiculous to go to court to litigate over a snake? Feng felt that Gu Changping was trying to scare Xie Ziyan, so she didn't worry anymore. She patted Xie Ziyan's hand and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, your brother Changping is joking with you."

After all, the two families were getting married soon, and she didn't believe that Gu Changping would actually take Xie Ziyan to court over such a trivial matter. Even if he really goes to sue, the elders of Pingnan Palace will definitely stop him and won't allow him to mess around.

Xie Ziyan felt relieved after hearing Feng's words.

But it turns out that older people don’t necessarily speak accurately. Less than an hour after Gu Changping left, a government servant came to the door and told them to go to the government office quickly because the second son of Prince Pingnan’s house had taken their family home. The second lady sued.

Feng was shocked and subconsciously called Xie Qingling over to scold him: "Look at the good deeds you have done!"

Xie Qingling was very aggrieved: "Grandma, what did I do?"

Uh...it seems like he really didn't do anything. Is it her fault that she shouldn't marry Gu Changping? But it's not her decision. And with their Xie family’s current status, Prince Pingnan’s family is a rare good one. Feng couldn't find fault with Xie Qingling, so she could only complain to Gu Changping from a distance: "It's just a snake, what's the matter? We were frightened, and we haven't asked him to reason. Besides, we are about to become a family, even if Zi Yan falls The snake that killed Ye Yuxiao didn’t need to be so aggressive, right?”

Xie Qingling looked at the huge gem on Feng's crutch and smiled slightly, the smile full of ridicule. But she quickly put away her smile and said: "Grandma, please forgive me, no matter who is right or wrong, as long as the second sister just gives in and apologizes, the matter will be over. But she insisted If you insist on not bowing your head, who can you blame?"

Feng's face darkened and remained silent.

Xie Ziyan looked at Feng's expression and immediately hit back at Xie Qingling: "Sister, is this the so-called extroversion of girls? You haven't even agreed to get married with him, and now you start to protect him?"

Hearing this, Feng glanced at Xie Qingling.

Xie Qingling sat upright and said calmly: "Second sister, why do you have thorns all over your body, pricking whoever you see? I am worrying for you. If you are sued, you will have to go to court. You are from our Xie family. Girl, if this goes to court, where will you put your face? Where will you let grandma put her face? If this matter spreads back to Jiangnan, my uncle and aunt will be so angry that they will not even be able to sleep."

Xie Ziyan suddenly panicked. Jiangnan aristocratic families have strict etiquette, especially the Xie Mansion. Even when they go out on the street, they have to wear curtains and veils, and are not allowed to talk to strange men casually. If this goes to court, no matter whether she wins or loses the lawsuit, her reputation will be ruined and she will be dead.

The more Xie Ziyan thought about it, the more frightened she became. She hugged Feng's legs and knelt down, with a cry in her voice: "Grandma, save me!"

This is what Xie Qingling admires most about her. She is obviously a speechless, unruly and willful master, but when she is facing Feng, she can act coquettishly and act like an idiot, kneel down to ask for help, and kneel down to save the ball. Not vague, soft to the point of being boneless. Maybe this is why Feng prefers her?

But at this moment, Feng looked at Xie Ziyan and felt a little upset. She must be saved. This matter was not only related to her, but to the face of the entire Xie family. She brought her two granddaughters to Beijing alone. If there was a big scandal like going to court, she would probably have no choice but to die and apologize.
