After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 455 He Lied

Zhang Yunniang thought that her husband was always reliable, and she also wanted to know what kind of accident had happened that year.

Although Xie Xingchuan is disfigured now, this result is much better than falling into the hands of a kidnapper. The Xie family has raised Xie Xingchuan for so many years and has trained him to be outstanding. The Gu family owes the Xie family a debt of gratitude that cannot be repaid in a short time.

But before Xie Xingchuan woke up, the doorman reported cautiously: "Madam, Madam Xie is here. She brought a lot of people with her and they are coming aggressively."

Zhang Yunniang suddenly became anxious: "Is it because Xingchuan comes to our place all the time that Madam Xie is upset? I was thinking of going there to pay New Year's greetings in a few days, so I can explain this to her. If this makes her unhappy, will she stop Xingchuan from associating with us in the future?"

Gu Mingda hurriedly comforted his wife: "It's nothing, don't think too much, Mrs. Xie should not be an unreasonable person."

Today is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. The Gu family thought that there would be many things to do as the year was coming to an end, so they did not visit Mrs. Xie immediately. However, they did not expect that she would come directly.

Because the visitors were female, Zhang Yuniang met Madam Xie alone in the front hall.

Madam Xie's expression was very ugly, and her attitude towards Zhang Yunniang was also somewhat condescending: "Madam Gu, please hand over my evil creature. He has committed a serious crime, and I will take him back to enforce the family law."

Zhang Yunniang's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She didn't know what happened in Jingzhao Prefecture yet, so she asked, "Madam Xie, what did Xingchuan do wrong? Can you tell me a little?"

Madam Xie had no intention of exposing the family scandal, and said coldly, "Madam Gu, this is related to the inner house of the Xie family, so it is not convenient for me to tell you."

Zhang Yunniang heard this and looked at her cold and frosty appearance. She instinctively felt that something was wrong and tried to persuade her, "Madam Xie, Xingchuan is still young. You can teach him slowly if you have anything to say..."

Madam Xie had been dealing with Zhang Yunniang for so long that she was already impatient. She interrupted Zhang Yunniang and said, "Madam Gu, why do you have to keep talking about other things? If you do something wrong, you should be punished. What about my evildoer?"

"Please forgive me, Madam Xie. Xingchuan did not get a good rest last night. He has gone to bed now. Why don't we wait until he wakes up? This is the best pre-rain Longjing tea, which was given to us by His Majesty this year. Madam Xie, would you like to try it?" Zhang Yuniang tried to stop Madam Xie.

But Madam Xie had no intention of tasting the tea. Instead, she placed the teacup heavily on the table and said impatiently, "Madam Gu, have you forgotten that Xie Xingchuan is my son? Although a godson is also a son, he is not a biological son, and he is not yours."

When Zhang Yunniang heard this, her nose felt sore and tears suddenly fell.

"Mrs. Xie, I was originally planning to visit you in person after the New Year to talk to you about this. Now that you've asked, I can't hide it any longer."

Mrs. Xie's face was full of confusion. Although she was unhappy that the Gu family had snatched her son away, she also knew that the Gu family was now on the rise, so although she spoke impatiently, she still left some wiggle room. She never expected that Zhang Yuniang would cry as soon as she said she would, which made her feel even more annoyed.

Zhang Yunniang continued, "Madam Xie, I raised three sons and one daughter, but because of the schemes of my relatives, my second son fell into the hands of kidnappers when he was young, and I haven't heard from him for many years."

Mrs. Xie thought she was trying to play the victim, so she said, "It's your own business that your son got lost, but you have no right to force someone else's son to stay."

Not only did she have no sympathy, she even felt that Zhang Yunniang was showing off by giving birth to three sons.

Zhang Yunniang said directly: "Xingchuan is my lost second son."

There was a momentary blank on Mrs. Xie's face. When she realized what Zhang Yunniang said, she looked at her in disbelief: "This is impossible, this little bastard is obviously..." Before she finished her words, she saw Zhang Yunniang's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she looked like a mother wolf who was anxious to protect her cubs.

"Xie Xingchuan is my son. I don't understand what Mrs. Gu is saying. You may have recognized the wrong person." Mrs. Xie said.

Zhang Yunniang shook her head and said, "He is my lost son. He remembered his childhood and we have recognized each other. I know that it has been very hard for Madam to raise Xingchuan for so many years. Our Gu family is also very grateful to the Xie family. We have not thought about asking Xingchuan to recognize his ancestors. As long as he is willing to call us father and mother, we will be satisfied."

Mrs. Xie felt that the world had suddenly become something she did not recognize. Her husband's illegitimate son had inexplicably become the son of the new top scholar. If Xie Xingchuan was Gu Mingda's son, then had she been grudged against the wrong person for all these years?

Although Xie Xingchuan had only slept for half an hour, perhaps because he was in a place where he felt safe, he slept particularly comfortably.

He was not a person who liked to stay in bed, so since he had already slept well, he might as well get up. He didn't have much time to stay in the capital, and he wanted to spend more time with his family.

When I opened the door, I saw two familiar faces in the yard.

"Third brother, I won again!" Niu Niu said happily.

Gu Zhao touched the back of his head and said, "I can't beat you in throwing sandbags, but I'm definitely better than you in fighting crickets."

The two of them didn't speak particularly loudly, and it was obvious that they were afraid of disturbing Xie Xingchuan's rest.

Niuniu just turned her head at this time, and her eyes lit up immediately when she saw Xie Xingchuan, and she said, "Second brother!"

Gu Zhao said, "Second brother is awake, how about we go to the backyard to play mahjong with Sister Shuying?"

"But Aunt Xie is here to pick us up. Will she want Brother Xie to go home?" Niu Niu was very conflicted.

Xie Xingchuan frowned: "Niuniu, Aunt Xie is here? Is it Madam Xie herself?"

Niuniu nodded vigorously and said, "It's your Xie's mother. The doorman said that your Xie's mother had a dark face and seemed very unhappy."

Xie Xingchuan asked: "Where is she? Has she left?"

"In the front hall. Mom was afraid that she would disturb your rest, so she kept delaying!" Niu Niu said.

Xie Xingchuan was anxious. Madam Xie had not liked to socialize in Beijing in recent years. It was not that she did not like dealing with people, but that she was mean and often said embarrassing things. Over time, dignitaries no longer liked to associate with her.

Xie Xingchuan was very afraid that Mrs. Xie would bully Zhang Yuniang, so he hurried to the front hall. From a distance, he saw the Xie family standing guard outside the door, and the situation between them and the Gu family's servants was tense, as if a fight was about to break out at any second.

He was still on tenterhooks and walked in without waiting for anyone to inform him. At the door, he just happened to hear Mrs. Xie's slightly harsh voice.

"That boy is lying. He probably found out about your child from somewhere else and came up to you on purpose. Don't be fooled by him."
