Little did Xie know that in just a few steps, the three members of the Zhao family would have so many complicated emotions.

She stood at the door of the hall to greet them, and immediately focused on Zhao Ruyu.

Zhao Ruyu's figure is not as tall as Xu Xi's, but she is more slender and graceful. From her facial features, you can see the shadow of her deceased uncle and sister-in-law. Zhao Ruyu's appearance can be considered to be above average, especially his eyes, which are watery and like a

The little deer who has lost her mother's protection makes people want to pity and protect her for no reason.

No wonder everyone in the Hou Mansion is unwilling to let her go even though they know she is not their child. As expected, I see You Lian.

Thinking of Xu Xi's bright facial features and capable temperament, Xie felt worried in her heart.

If Xu Xi returns to the Hou Mansion and confronts Zhao Ruyu, even if she knows that Xu Xi is a child of the Hou Mansion, it is estimated that the hearts of Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Hou and the Second Madam will be more towards Zhao Ruyu. People sympathize with the weak, let alone

Zhao Ruyu was raised by them. Unlike Xu Xi, she had no emotions.

Xie shook her head when she saw that Zhao Ruyu didn't even look up at her, only looking down at the ground, as if she was afraid of stepping on something dirty.

How could such a girl recognize poor relatives like them? Thinking about Xu Xi's promise to treat them as relatives forever and her attachment to the Xu family, Mrs. Xie's heart suddenly felt relieved and she didn't feel the slightest bit disappointed.

She withdrew her gaze from Zhao Ruyu and looked at Wei and Zhao Yuanliang.

Wei's appearance is not bad. Although he is petite, he is quite powerful, which is completely opposite to Zhao Ruyu's pure and weak temperament. Zhao Yuanliang has a clear appearance, but he has slender eyes, a square face, and is not tall.

Looking at the height and appearance of the couple, it is hard to imagine that Xu Xi, who has a pair of smart peach blossom eyes, bright and elegant features, and a tall figure, could be their daughter.

Aunt Ruan helped Mrs. Wei walk to Mrs. Xie. When she saw Mrs. Xie standing there blankly, not knowing how to salute, she frowned, her face full of displeasure.

"Second Master, Second Madam, this is Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xie." She introduced.

Only then did Mrs. Xie come to her senses and gave the two of them a blessing: "Second Master, Second Madam."

Mrs. Wei glanced at Ms. Xie and saw that she was a peasant woman with ordinary appearance and simple clothes, and her pretty eyebrows furrowed.

"Are you Mrs. Xie?" she asked, raising her chin slightly.

Xie was not surprised by her attitude, let alone unhappy.

In her mind, since changing the child was the fault of her elder sister-in-law, the Wei family should deeply hate the Xu family. It would be strange if the Wei family had a good attitude towards her. She would be considered a lady if she didn't slap herself in the mouth as soon as she came up.

Well maintained.

"Yes, madam." Mrs. Xie lowered her head and bowed to Mrs. Wei.

"How do you teach your children? You teach them so much that they don't even recognize their parents. You really are a farm shrew with no education at all. Did Sister Xi learn that trick of crying, making trouble, and hanging herself from you?

?She actually avoided us today and ran to the county. Do you really think we can’t ask her to go back? Go quickly and tell her that if she doesn’t come back quickly, follow us home obediently and don’t go back to the Marquis Mansion in the future.

Just think that the Xu family girl can stay here. Do you really think we care about her?"

Seeing the fierce expression on Wei's face and hearing these heartless words, Xie was stunned.

Is this really my mother-in-law?

What mother, hearing that her daughter had been replaced, and seeing the environment in their home, would not feel so distressed that she wished she could hold her daughter in her arms and love her so much? How come this Wei family not only doesn’t have the slightest bit of kindness,

You actually said such words?

Isn't she afraid that Xu Xi will be sad when he hears this and won't go back with her?

Not to mention Mrs. Xie, Zhao Yuanliang also stared blankly at Mrs. Wei for a long time, unable to recover.

Although the relationship between the couple is not good now, Zhao Yuanliang also knows that Wei has two different faces for Zhao Ruyu in front of others, but she truly loves her son in her bones. Zhao Yuanliang didn't understand it before, but later he learned that Zhao Ruyu was not her biological child.

Instead, he was tricked, and he felt that he had found the answer - as a mother who gave birth to a child, she should have a sixth sense. She is naturally unable to get close to children who are not her own.

Therefore, he felt that there were many faults in Wei's behavior just now, but she must still love the daughter she was about to recognize.

He didn't expect to hear such words from Wei's mouth.

Feeling her husband's gaze, Mrs. Wei turned her head and winked at Zhao Yuanliang.

Zhao Yuanliang came to his senses and immediately frowned again.

Looking at this, is Wei's move a way to provoke the general? Or is it a way to deal with village women like Xie who are trying to take advantage of Xu Xi and want to blackmail her? It's just that if these words are to reach Xu Xi's ears, I'm afraid it won't be good.

?

Only Zhao Ruyu had no feelings for Wei's performance.

In her impression, Wei's behavior in later life has always been like this, with a bad personality, a venomous mouth, and not knowing how to speak or behave. In her previous life, she was also very unkind to her newly recognized daughter.

Mrs. Xie stood in front of Mr. Wei, not knowing what to say.

Aunt Ruan was very dissatisfied with Mrs. Wei. She also knew that Mrs. Wei couldn't speak, but this was the first time she had seen her speak so unpleasantly.

However, no matter how dissatisfied she is, Wei is not something that a servant like her can reprimand, and she can't make trouble in front of Xie.

She scolded Mrs. Xie and said, "Did you hear what the second lady said? Go quickly, don't waste time."

As she said that, she became worried again. She turned to Mrs. Wei with a smile and said, "Second Madam, how about... my slave come with her?"

This is exactly what Zhao Yuanliang wants.

If Nanny Ruan doesn't follow, who knows whether Mr. Xie will tell Xu Xi exactly what Ms. Wei said and add some extra fuel to the fire? If so, his daughter will probably not go home with them. By then, this

The matter was so troublesome that it was hard to get off the stage.

Therefore, without waiting for Wei to speak, Zhao Yuanliang said: "Very good. Aunt Ruan, you are very experienced in doing things, so it would be perfect to follow you. Let's go now, and come back quickly."

Grandma Ruan pulled Xie's arm and said, "Mrs. Xu Er, let's go." After saying that, she waved to a little maid.

As the housekeeper of the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion, she always has a little maid at her disposal. This maid came with her yesterday. Today, she was worried that she would be too busy, so she brought the little maid here again.

Wei and Zhao Ruyu have their own maids. Zhao Yuanliang not only has Butler Liu, but also his own servant, and two coachmen are also here. Grandma Ruan plans to take this little maid to the county with her.

Mrs. Xie was pulled by her and staggered, so she could only follow her out absentmindedly. As she walked, she turned around and glanced at Mrs. Wei.

She now finally knew why Xu Xi was unwilling to return to the Hou Mansion.

That kid Xu Xi is so smart, and his analysis scores are spot on.
