Welcome the Good Man

Chapter 177 Stupid Mother and Stupid Daughter
Guan Yulan looked at the Marquis who was walking towards her slowly in shock.

Madam Guan never expected that the Marquis would come over, and her expression immediately relaxed, "Oh, it's Chongkun."

Xie Chongkun looked at Yulan who was sitting in a wheelchair and slowly walked to her side. "Yulan mentioned the matter between Chengyi and Aying to me once. I acquiesced to it. Why is mother-in-law dissatisfied?"

After all, having been immersed in the center of power for many years, Xie Chongkun's calm and majestic demeanor was genuine, which immediately calmed down Madam Guan, who had just exploded.

"Haha, what do you mean by that? Why can I be dissatisfied? After all, they are the children of the Xie family, and the Marquis will make the decision on everything." Old Lady Guan's smile was extremely ugly.

Xie Chongkun turned to Mother Wang and said, "Why don't you take Madam to Wenhui Hall to rest? I'll leave this place for my mother-in-law to stay."

Mother Wang immediately stepped forward and obediently pushed the lady out.

Guan Yulan had not yet recovered from her shock. Looking at the Marquis who had never behaved like this before, she did not know what the Marquis' purpose was.

Only after leaving Songhua Courtyard did the Marquis' pace slow down little by little.

"Let me do it." Suddenly, the Marquis said to Mother Wang.

Mother Wang was stunned. As far as she could remember, the Marquis had never taken the initiative to take care of his wife, so at first she thought she had heard wrongly.

"I'll push Yulan." The Marquis said again.

Mother Wang quickly took two steps back, tears welling up in her eyes. No matter what, she was really happy for the lady.

Guan Yulan was a little dazed for a moment, and was afraid of tiring the Marquis, so she quickly said, "No, no need."

Xie Chongkun insisted, "Sit down."

After hearing this, Guan Yulan had no choice but to sit still. She always listened to what the Marquis said.

"I have been in Qingyun Peak all this time." The Marquis whispered.

Guan Yulan's heart trembled, Qingyun Peak?
"I sat in the Fairyland Pavilion and thought a lot. In the past, I always felt that I was the backbone of the Marquis' Mansion. I wanted to make the decisions on both family affairs and state affairs. But I forgot that the children are growing up. When they grow up, there are more things to consider, such as money, future, and backing, but I don't need to make the decisions anymore. Maybe I'm getting old..." Xie Chongkun said sadly.

Guan Yulan couldn't bear to hear the Marquis say this, and immediately replied: "The Marquis is not old!"

Xie Chongkun was startled by Guan Yulan's sharp tongue. After he came to his senses, he smiled nonchalantly, "That's right, Chengyi is already a general, why can't he be the head of the family? I am too involved."

Then, he changed the subject, "When I was young, I liked a girl, but my mother said that we were not a good match, she would not be able to endure hardships, and would not be able to accompany me to the end. No matter how much I begged, she was unwilling to agree to the marriage, saying that you were a virtuous woman who would accompany me through many difficulties. I didn't want to at the time but had to obey. Later, even after giving birth to Hejun and Chengyi, I still didn't want to get along with you. I always felt that you were too down-to-earth, a complete woman. You didn't understand the romance that I admired, and you didn't understand my interest in high-sounding talk. But now it seems that you are the only one who stayed with me to the end."

Faced with Xie Chongkun's sudden affection, Guan Yulan suddenly felt that all the grievances of decades could be digested. She choked up and said, "The Marquis deserves this."

Xie Chongkun paused, "Yingying, I have sent them out, and dismissed all the concubines. Since we are an old couple, we should walk hand in hand from now on."

The sudden concern made Guan Yulan overjoyed, tears kept falling unconsciously, "I don't mind..."

"Thank you for your hard work over the years..." Xie Chongkun said solemnly.

Guan Yulan didn't know how Xie Chongkun mediated the situation, but for her, this was more satisfying than any wealth and glory.

"However, I really don't want my mother-in-law to interfere in Chengyi's affairs. Let Chengyi follow his own heart." Xie Chongkun said slowly.

Guan Yulan nodded with deep emotion, "Yeah..."

In fact, even without the Marquis saying anything, she would never let Cheng Yi become a bloodsucker for her mother's family in Qingzhou again.

royal palace.

Xie Chengyi entered the palace early in the morning, accompanied by Fan Zhen.

"Your Majesty, please look into this clearly!" Fan Zhen said while kneeling.

Xiao Wenzhang looked at Fan Zhen, then at Xie Chengyi beside him, "Is there any evidence?"

Fan Zhen immediately presented the evidence.

Xiao Wenzhan looked at the evidence and his face became increasingly gloomy.

"Bang!" Xiao Wenzhan was so angry that he slapped the table with his palm.

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!" Xiao Wenzhan said angrily.

Fan Zhen hesitated for a moment. Wasn't the evidence comprehensive enough? How else could he investigate? If he investigated further, His Majesty would have to speak up.

Just as Fan Zhen nodded in thought, Xiao Wenzhang looked at Xie Chengyi, "Chengyi, you handle this matter!"

Xie Chengyi didn't want to get involved, but now he couldn't get out of it. "Yes." Xie Chengyi didn't rush to come up with a plan.

As expected, Xiao Wenzhang paused for a moment after he finished speaking, his eyes fell on Xie Chengyi, and he continued, "Does anyone else know?"

"Your Majesty, this matter concerns the reputation of the royal family and needs your Majesty to handle it personally. I am stupid and have not come up with a solution." Xie Chengyi declined the responsibility of handling the matter.

Obviously, Xiao Wenzhan condoned this behavior.

"Someone come! Bring Chuyi to me!" Xiao Wenzhan said with a gloomy face.

Gao Pan had just winked at the young eunuch when he heard Xiao Wenzhang order again: "Bring Imperial Concubine Sheng as well!"

Gao Pan's eyes moved and he glanced at Xie Chengyi. Then, he whispered something to the little eunuch and sent him out.

"How is Aying?" Xiao Wenzhan looked at Xie Chengyi, his tone slightly softened.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Ah Ying was frightened and suffered minor injuries. Thanks to the maid who blocked the sword for him, he is fine."

"That's really a blessing." Xiao Wenzhan said with emotion.

After a while, a eunuch came hurriedly from outside the door to report.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Gao Pan got the news and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine and the Princess are waiting outside."

"Bring them in!" Xiao Wenzhan's brows changed and became gloomy again.

Sheng Xinlan and Xiao Chuyi walked to the front tremblingly, bowed and saluted, "Greetings to Your Majesty! (Greetings to Father!)"

"Look at what you have done!" Xiao Wenzhan threw all the evidence in the two men's faces without saying a word.

"Ah!" Xiao Chuyi screamed in fright.

Sheng Xinlan trembled and hurried to look at the scattered evidence.

"No, no, it's all fake, fake! Your Majesty, these are all false accusations!" Sheng Xinlan yelled almost crazily, completely losing her usual dignity and elegance.

"The evidence is right in front of you, yet you still dare to quibble!" Xiao Wenzhan pointed at Sheng Xinlan, annoyed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must find out clearly. Chuyi would not do these things. Someone must want to harm Chuyi!" Sheng Xinlan hugged Xiao Wenzhan in panic and tried her best to defend herself.

Xiao Wen Zhang turned around angrily and threw Sheng Xinlan to the ground.

"Father, father..." Xiao Chuyi, who had always been the apple of her father's eye, saw her father so angry for the first time. Her brain was unable to react for a moment and she was shaking with fear.

"Fan Zhen! Bring Jiang Yi up!" Xiao Wenzhan glanced coldly at Sheng Xinlan and her daughter.

Jiang Yi was Xiao Chuyi's bodyguard, and it was obvious that he wanted to punish Xiao Chuyi for her behavior. So, after Jiang Yi was brought up, Xiao Chuyi collapsed.

"This portrait is the person that the little boy pointed out as leading Miss Huo to the alley that day. At the same time, the little boy also pointed out that the person Jiang Yi saw had turquoise in his hand." Fan Zhen stated the facts briefly and showed the portrait.

"Maybe someone is impersonating me! I'm not the only one wearing turquoise?" Xiao Chuyi asked back, pretending to be calm.

Xiao Wenzhang closed his eyes in anger, hating Xiao Chuyi for being so stupid and unaware, "That's my birthday gift to you, who dares to wear it?"

With just one sentence, Xiao Chuyi was choked and dared not say a word.

Sheng Xinlan saw that the truth could not be hidden, so she kowtowed quickly, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Chuyi is young after all, and I am afraid that she was instigated by the people around her. Please forgive Chuyi."

"She is going to marry Nan Jing next month. Is she still young?" Xiao Wen Zhang was furious.

"I don't want a marriage! I've said I don't want a marriage!" Xiao Chuyi seemed to have heard some heart-wrenching words, and she immediately stood up and shook her head.

"Not only did you hurt people, but you also slandered your own sister. What crime should you be charged with?" Xiao Wenzhan pointed at Xiao Chuyi and asked angrily.

Xiao Chuyi simply broke free from her mother's pull, "Isn't it okay for me to just teach Huo Aying a lesson? Why should the marriage that was originally hers fall on me??? I am your daughter!"

Looking at his domineering and arrogant daughter, Xiao Wenzhang slammed the table in anger, "Just because you are a princess, you must go to this marriage! Otherwise, the entire Sheng family will be buried with you!"

Now, Sheng Xinlan was completely disappointed.

Xiao Chuyi was also speechless.

"Sheng Xinlan is a bad parent. From today on, you will be demoted to the position of concubine and imprisoned in Shulan Palace. You are not allowed to go out at all!" Xiao Wenzhan's face was extremely gloomy, as if he would suddenly have murderous intent at the next moment.

Sheng Xinlan looked at Xiao Wenzhang's horrifying expression, and dared not say another word, fearing that she would bring trouble to the Sheng family, so she could only kowtow. However, from this moment on, Sheng Xinlan suddenly had a thought in her heart: as long as His Majesty was here, she and her child would never be safe...
