Mr. Xi now looks at the wife he remarried, and his heart is filled with disgust.

"In the past, you kept saying that you should not talk about Xi Qingyan's mother all the time. This would bring your position as mistress in the Shangshu Mansion into question. If word spread, it would be bad for your husband's official reputation.

Now it seems that you don’t care about my reputation. You just don’t want the servants in the palace to compare you with Xi Qingyan’s mother! Because you are not as good as her at all!”

Mr. Xi used to love Mrs. Shangshu so much that he felt blind at this moment.

"Sir, how could you say that to me? Everything I did back then was really for your reputation!"

"Sir, you are the Minister of Etiquette of our court. If your wife cannot be treated respectfully by the servants of the Minister's Mansion, then how can His Majesty believe that you can act politely in matters of national importance?"

Mrs. Shangshu was very unhappy when she saw Master Xi revealing everything she had done in the past!

"Master, think about it, since you married me, have you managed the Shangshu's house in an orderly manner?"

"Sir, if you didn't have me as the minister's wife, would you be able to be your minister in the court without any worries?"

Mrs. Shangshu felt extremely wronged.

For so many years, she had endured hardships and worked hard for the Shangshu Mansion, but she never expected that she would end up like this!

"Madam, as a son, I cannot watch you belittle my father like this."

Xi Qingyan stepped forward, deliberately pretending to defend Lord Shangshu, and said indignantly to Madam Shangshu.

She learned this trick from Xi Chuyu and Mrs. Shangshu, mother and daughter. Today, she will retaliate in the same way!

In the past, Xi Chuyu and her daughter used the trick of "crying, making trouble, and hanging themselves" to make Xi Qingyan suffer so much overtly and covertly. Today, she wants to let Madam Shangshu taste the unspeakable feeling of suffering.

!

"Madam, I lost my mother when I was young. It was my father who managed the Shangshu Mansion inside and outside while being the Minister. During the time when my wife was not married to the Shangshu Mansion, my father also took care of the Shangshu Mansion from top to bottom.

Meticulous."

"Although I was very young at the time, I still remember that when my father was in charge of the house, the masters and servants of our Shangshu Mansion were united and harmonious. No one dared to secretly withhold the master's money and build his own big house outside!

"

"Madam, I know that you have always disliked my stepdaughter. You think that the daughter you gave birth to is the best, so you find fault with everything I do. I can ignore all of this, but you can't.

Therefore, you are belittling my father’s ability to run the family!”

Xi Qingyan's words made Master Shangshu become more and more impatient with Madam Shangshu beside him.

"Xi Qingyan, what nonsense are you talking about here? When did I have doubts about the master's ability as the head of the house? I tell you, don't talk nonsense here! It was you who I just talked about, and you have ulterior motives, so you are targeting everyone.

I!"

"Xi Qingyan, don't you just want to keep your mother's position in the Shangshu Mansion? What a pity, she is still a withered skeleton now! It's useless for you to miss your mother anymore..."

"Crack!"

Before Mrs. Shangshu finished speaking, she was slapped directly on the face. The person who hit her was none other than Mr. Shangshu.

"Sir...Sir, how can you hit me? You have never been so rude to me since I entered the Shangshu Mansion!"

Madam Shangshu never expected that Lord Shangshu Xi would slap Xi Qingyan in front of her!

In the past, her husband had always been obedient to her, and he had never been so harsh and harsh.

"A slap in the face is light. Who is allowed to talk about my first wife behind her back? Whether Xi Qingyan's mother is good or not, only I am qualified to judge. You, a second-marriage stepmother, are here to dictate to your first wife."

"Hey, don't you feel that your actions are against the etiquette of the mistress of Shangshu Mansion?"

Lord Shangshu Xi reprimanded his remarried wife.

"I have been too indulgent to you over the years, so I made you forget that there is a difference between superiority and inferiority. Don't you know that it is precisely because your background and ethics are not as good as those of Xi Qingyan's mother that you have to do this?

Do you want to fill in the master's house?"

"You are a woman who cannot see your own flaws but clings to the small mistakes of others. People like you are really not worthy of being a wife!"

Lord Shangshu's words were like a knife stabbing into Madam Shangshu's heart.

Over the years, the reason why Mrs. Shangshu has been so lavish in handling the affairs of the Shangshu Mansion is to prevent the servants of the Shangshu Mansion and her husband from treating her as a house-filling lady differently.

"Sir, what did I do wrong? Although my background was not as good as that of the Minister of Rites, I was still the daughter of a serious family! Master, you married me in a sedan chair with eight carriages, and now you are doing it in front of me

Aren't you afraid that I would be chilled if you said such words in front of the children?"

Mrs. Shangshu felt that she was really aggrieved!

She had sacrificed so much of her youth and beautiful years for this family and the man in front of her, but she didn't expect that she would only end up with her husband's complaints in the end!

"Yes, the threshold of your Shangshu Mansion is higher than that of our family! But, sir, don't forget that when I first married you, you already had a daughter named Xi Qingyan! Do you know what my personality was back then?

What do the sisters talk about me behind my back?"

"They laughed at me for being such a young girl and rushing to be someone else's stepmother!"

"Master, do you think you have been wronged for marrying a woman of low family like me? Please tell me, didn't I feel wronged when I married you, a young lady?"

"As a husband, have you never thought about this for me?"

Mrs. Shangshu really couldn't hold it in any longer. She had been keeping these words in her heart for too many years. If she didn't say them out today, she was worried that she would never have the chance to say them out to the husband in front of her in her lifetime!

"You are never the only one who feels wronged, Master. Do you know how much I have suffered for you in the past many years?"

Mrs. Shangshu cried to Mr. Xi in front of her. Of course there was her inner voice in this, but it was more to gain sympathy.

She knew that her man had nothing to do with her tears!

What's more, now that she has told half-truths and half-lies about the past, even if her husband will not continue to love her as usual, he will not hold on to the mistakes she made today.

"Master, do you know? I was also a young daughter, and I suddenly became the housekeeper of Shangshu Mansion. I suffered so much and received so many looks. I never told you this before, master.

However, just because I feel that the master is working hard for the glory and wealth of the Shangshu Mansion in the court, I should not hold back the master!"

"But, what Xi Qingyan did today really chills me as a mother!"

"Yes, I am indeed not Xi Qingyan's biological mother, but I have been doing my best to take good care of Xi Qingyan these years!"

"Master, I am also a human being, I am not a god! I can't cover everything. Maybe I really didn't do well enough in some place, but that was not my intention."

Mrs. Shangshu said that she was particularly wronged, but Xi Qingyan watched from the side, but there was only a sneer in her heart.

She has now discovered that the most powerful thing about Mrs. Shangshu is indeed her mouth that confuses right and wrong!

At first, his father had already spoken coldly to Madam Shangshu because of her words. Unexpectedly, after Madam Shangshu cried and complained, his father's eyebrows would actually become more helpless and distressed.

Hey, man!

Xi Qingyan finally understood why the previous owner lived such a miserable life in Shangshu Mansion.

As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather.

However, in Xi Qingyan's view, Lord Shangshu, the father, may never be considered Xi Qingyan's "biological father".ap.

Naturally, Lord Shangshu was once again confused by this woman, Mrs. Shangshu, so Xi Qingyan could only take action again. 1

Xi Qingyan

Chuntao winked at Chuntao on the side, and Chuntao understood.

"Master, Zhao Fu has been found! He has been pressed over by the guards in the mansion. Do you still want to see him now?"

The compassion that had arisen in Mr. Secretary Xi's heart towards the wife who had filled the house was completely reduced to what it must have been after hearing Chuntao's reply.

"What do you mean by this? Chuntao, what did I give you just now? Could it be that you have forgotten it?"

"Go and find me that little guy Zhao Fu. I want to see how he bought his big house with three entrances and three exits!"

Lord Shangshu Xi's anger was ignited again.

Mrs. Shangshu's original plan to win sympathy by pretending to be pitiful was completely ruined by Chuntao's interruption.

The next moment, Zhao Fu was escorted in by the people from Shangshu Mansion.

Over the years, he has made a lot of money from the Shangshu Mansion, and he has long known that one day he will be discovered. However, people are greedy, and as long as he is not rescued, he will always have a lucky mentality.

The same is true for Zhao Fu.

"Little man...little man, see you...master..."

When the housekeeper of Shangshu Mansion blocked him with so many servants today, Zhao Fu knew that he was in a complete misfortune this time.

He knew the methods of Master Xi, the Minister of Rites, so now he was kneeling in front of the Master and could not help but tremble!

"I heard that for a small purchase in my house, I can buy a big house with three entrances and three exits on the streets of Kyoto?"

Lord Shangshu Xi looked at Zhao Fu in front of him and sneered.

Zhao Fu is just a street peddler and a pawn. Although Mr. Xi is only the Minister of Rites, an official always has official authority.

Where had Zhao Fu ever seen Mr. Xi talking to him with such a cold face?

So, he just vomited it all out.

"Master... I'll do it, master! I can spit out all the money I swallowed before, and... and I can also return the big courtyard with three entrances and three exits to the Shangshu Mansion. I just want it for my sake, master."

For the sake of my elders and younger ones, it would be better not to send me to the official position!"

"Sir, this is all my fault! It's me, rich Zhao! How could I deceive my cousin's husband's family?"

"But...but Master, for the sake of my cousin, and for the sake of her being your wife, just spare me this time. I promise...I promise that from now on, I will never

will appear in front of you!"

Zhao Fu's words not only made Mr. Xi look ugly, but also the lady of the minister beside him was ashamed.

"You white-eyed wolf! You actually did something sorry for Shangshu Mansion! Zhao Fu, I kindly took you in at Shangshu Mansion, but this is what you did to me?"

Madam Shangshu cried, but Lord Shangshu Xi no longer believed her words.
