Chapter 25 Who do you look like?
If this matter were left in other people's homes, they might be vying to be the young lady of the Hou Mansion. But Xu Xi's family has a good heart. Moreover, Xu Xi had the attitude of preferring death to going to the Hou Mansion from the very beginning.
People felt that the Hou Mansion was a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, rather than a nest of blessings, so the Xu family did not think in a good direction at all.
It's no wonder that the people in the Hou Mansion are depressed.
Suddenly, a voice of greeting from the villagers came from outside: "Aunt Xie is back? You should go home and have a look. Someone came from the Hou Mansion just now, and they want to adopt your sister Xue as their daughter."
Xie's responding voice also came in.
"My mother is back." Upon hearing this, Xu Xue quickly stood up and ran out quickly.
Xu Yongyi and Xu Xi also walked out.
Mrs. Xie and Grandma Ruan were standing in the yard. A neighbor's aunt was telling them about Wei's recognition of her daughter. When Mrs. Xie heard that her daughter was almost recognized by Mr. Wei, she was so angry that she almost cursed.
.
When Grandma Ruan heard that the Wei family had made such a fuss, her face became very ugly.
Seeing Xu Yongyi and Xu Xi coming out, Ms. Xie hurriedly asked: "Ms. sir, is this really like this? How come she can't even recognize her own daughter?"
Xu Yongyi nodded: "She felt that Sister Xue looked similar to her, so she held on to Sister Xue for dear life."
Ms. Xie was extremely depressed: "Looks like her? Why does my daughter look like her? I haven't spoken yet."
As soon as Ms. Xie said this, the aunt next door slapped her thigh and shouted, "Isn't it true? To say that we are similar, Sister Xue and you are carved from the same mold, exactly the same as when you first got married. What did you just say?
No, if you were here, just stand next to Sister Xue, oh, what's going on with the Marquis's wife? This is not the way to snatch a daughter."
Xu Xi had only been in this ancient time for a few days, and she had countless plans to work on every day. Xie worked hard all day long, often working in the fields, and after working in the fields and at home, she could not rest for a moment. Her skin was dark and rough, and her figure was also swollen.
She was short and strong, and she looked like a middle-aged rural woman. She had nothing to do with sweetness. Xu Xi had no impression of her appearance at all. When the Wei family was making trouble just now, she had no idea at all.
Connect Xu Xue and Xie's appearance.
But after being reminded by the neighbor's aunt, Xu Xi raised his eyes and took a closer look, right?
Ms. Xie also has a round face, round eyes, and lips very similar to Xu Xue. Mother and daughter, their eyes, noses, and faces are almost carved from the same mold. If Mr. Xie were more than ten years younger, the two
At ten years old, Xu Xue and I can be called twins.
Xu Xue looks so much like her mother, as long as Mrs. Xie stands aside, no one can really say that Xu Xue is someone else's daughter.
Xu Yongyi probably recalled the sweet little wife when they first got married, and his eyes were slightly sour. Over the years, he has not allowed his wife to live a good life.
Nanny Ruan looked at Mrs. Xie and then at Xu Xue. She was extremely speechless towards Mrs. Wei.
The old lady asked her to pick up Xu Xi, but she ignored her biological daughter and only asked other people's daughters to recognize her. What a big deal!
Nanny Ruan was so embarrassed that she couldn't stay any longer.
She said: "Don't worry, I will definitely report this to the old madam when I get back. The second madam has always been confused, otherwise she wouldn't have known about the child being exchanged back then. But the old madam and the second master are good."
Speaking of the back, she looked at Xu Xi: "Miss Xi, when you return to the Hou Mansion, you will be the young lady of the Hou Mansion. Even if the second lady is a bit unreliable, the old lady is still there after all. The second master also loves children.
I will definitely not make you suffer."
"I'm not going to your Marquis Mansion." Xu Xi ran to Ms. Xie's side and held her arm tightly, "I'll stay in the Xu family. I'm not going anywhere."
This little daughter's attitude was completely different from her calm and self-possessed look in front of Wei and Zhao Yuanliang, which made Xu Xue stunned. Isn't this her style? Is Xu Xi trying to imitate her?
Xu Xi gave her a warning look, and then said seriously to Nanny Ruan: "I really don't want to go back to the Marquis Mansion."
Aunt Ruan sighed: "Let's discuss this matter later. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." With that, she blessed the Xu family and turned around to leave with the little maid.
With the strong evidence that Mrs. Xie and Xu Xue look alike, Xu Xi also relaxed and smiled at the family: "Okay, now there is nothing to worry about. No matter how thick-skinned the second lady of the Hou Mansion is, she cannot do it in front of her aunt."
She dares to say that Xiaoxue is her daughter."
"Then you..." Ms. Xie started to worry about Xu Xi again.
With a mother like that, Mrs. Xie was really worried about letting Xu Xi enter the Hou Mansion.
"I'm not afraid. Just like what Nanny Ruan said just now, even if I go back to the Marquis Mansion and the old lady is there, what can the second lady do to me? Besides, we might have to enter the academy in two days.
.”
Only then did Mrs. Xie remember the two of them taking the academy entrance examination, and quickly asked about the situation.
"Let's talk in the house." Seeing that people in the village were gossiping again, Xu Yongyi quickly sent the neighbor's aunt out and closed the courtyard door.
On the other side of the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Hou had been watching for a long time. Zhao Yuanliang and Wei hadn't come back yet, so she knew that things were not going well, and she kept worrying about it.
After finally meeting the two of them, Mrs. Hou saw that there was only Zhao Ruyu behind them and no other strange girls were following her. Her heart sank immediately and she asked with a dark face: "What's going on?"
Wei lowered her head and remained silent.
Zhao Yuanliang told his aunt about what happened today.
Mrs. Hou frowned and looked at Mrs. Wei: "Do you really think that Xu Xue is your biological daughter?"
"Yes, I won't admit my mistake, old lady, please believe me." Mrs. Wei showed an excited look.
Mrs. Hou looked at Mr. Wei suspiciously and said nothing.
If others said this, she would naturally believe it. But the Wei family has always been a person with many tricks and tricks. If she hadn't been so scheming and clever, she would have won over Zhao Yuanliang and wanted to marry her, which would have caused a lot of trouble.
Everyone in the capital said that she, the eldest mother-in-law, treated her bastard harshly and suppressed her, and the old lady would not let Zhao Yuanliang marry such a woman.
Now everyone in the village said that Xu Xi was the wrong child, but Mrs. Wei insisted on Xu Xue and showed such an earnest look, which always made Mrs. Hou murmur in her heart.
"Then do you have any evidence?" Mrs. Hou asked.
Mrs. Wei choked up and said, "If I had evidence, I wouldn't have been fooled by the nanny back then, causing my poor daughter to suffer so much in the countryside." As she said this, she took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears.
Mrs. Hou looked at her and said calmly: "Then she doesn't want to come back with you and just wants you to get evidence. It's up to you what to do." She waved her hand and said, "You can decide this matter yourself.
It’s your daughter anyway.”
Mrs. Wei paused, then quickly wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, and said to Madam Hou: "Thank you, madam."
Mrs. Hou glanced at Zhao Yuanliang and saw that he had nothing to say, so she waved her hand: "Okay, you have been tired for a day, go back and rest."
