I'm already a concubine, who wants to fight with you?

Chapter 232 Provoking Trouble
Xie Fei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Good, good! This is the Seventh Miss of our Xie Family. She would cheat her parents but not herself, and she would focus on getting a servant for herself!"

Xie Jing rolled his eyes at her helplessly, then pushed the door open and walked in, saying, "Mother, Sister Fei is back."

The noise in the room stopped abruptly, but soon, Xie Yang's angry roar was heard.

"What are you doing back here, a slut? Are you here to laugh at me? You can even bring down your own wife, what do you want to do to me now?"

Xie Fei walked into the room, and when he saw Xie Yang sitting at the head of the bed, he couldn't help but sneer.

"Our Seventh Miss has finally come to this day. It really makes people happy."

Xie Yang glared at him.

At this moment, Xie Yang had long lost his former domineering and sharp look. He was like a sick cat with its claws pulled out, leaning weakly against the head of the bed, looking fierce on the outside but weak on the inside.

Zhuang Wenxiu had no intention of taking care of herself. She looked unkempt and haggard, but the disgust for Xie Fei in her eyes had not diminished in the slightest.

"The Marquis' wife is coming home, and we should go out to greet her, but you are just a concubine after all. After thinking about it, it is not worth making a grand ceremony. Please forgive me."

"No problem." Xie Fei found a place to sit down, poured himself a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Sister Yang will be a member of the palace from now on. If something goes wrong in the future and the second young master inherits the title, Sister Yang will be the princess and her status will be even more prominent."

Zhuang Wenxiu and Xie Yang's expressions changed at the same time.

In the front hall, Pei Yuan was playing chess with Xie Xiongcheng.

The servant came hurriedly and whispered to Xie Xiongcheng, "Master, the Sixth Miss and the Madam are arguing!"

Xie Xiongcheng's face changed slightly. Just as he stood up, he heard Pei Yuan say with a smile: "Father-in-law, it's your turn."

Xie Xiongcheng glanced over with a cold gaze. Pei Yuan was still calm and composed. He just stared at the chessboard and twisted the chess pieces with his hands. However, he had an aura as strong as a mountain, forcing him to sit down again.

In the backyard, Zhuang Wenxiu and Xie Fei were at loggerheads.

"Do you think I don't know what good things you have done? You are a concubine, but you actually framed the wife of the head and forced the Marquis of Anyuan to make you his wife! You have turned the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues upside down like this, and you are not afraid of being laughed at by the world!"

Xie Fei said innocently: "No matter how high and low it is, it is still a marriage granted by the royal family. Are you blaming the emperor and the queen by saying this, madam?"

The corners of Zhuang Wenxiu's mouth twitched slightly, and she subconsciously looked around, fearing that someone would really make trouble at this critical moment.

But when she looked at Xie Fei's calm appearance, she became extremely angry.

So what if she was a Marquise? She was just a concubine who married an incompetent and useless man who had his life destroyed!
Thinking of this moment, Zhuang Wenxiu instantly became tough again, and said proudly: "You have been deep-minded since you were a child, and you will do anything to achieve your goals. Unfortunately, stolen things are stolen after all, and one day, you will definitely get retribution!"

Xie Fei drank his tea slowly and sneered, "Whether I will be punished or not is a matter for the future."

She raised her eyes slightly, looked at the mother and daughter opposite her who looked like ashes, and said teasingly: "But now, it is you who have received retribution first."

This sentence almost made Zhuang Wenxiu angry to death, and Xie Yang cried and cursed, and both mother and daughter almost had an emotional breakdown.

Xie Jing, who had been watching coldly, looked at the three of them and sighed helplessly.

If he keeps peeing like this, he won't get down to business unless he makes a big fuss.

"Mother," Xie Jing held Zhuang Wenxiu's shoulders and said softly, "Fei'er is now the wife of the Marquis. Maybe she can make decisions on some things."

Zhuang Wenxiu closed her eyes and understood what Xie Jing meant.

No matter how bad Pei Yuan's reputation is or how incompetent he is said to be, he is still the Marquis of Anyuan.

Marquis Anyuan is a super-rank military marquis who holds real power, no different from the Qishan Palace.

Only if the Marquis' Mansion stepped in would Xie Yang have a glimmer of hope.

But, but...

How could she be willing to ask for help from a little concubine who she had looked down upon! Seeing Zhuang Wenxiu remained silent for a long time, Xie Jing continued, "Mother, Fei'er only wants to ask one thing, her mother..."

"shut up!"

When Xie Fei's mother was mentioned, Zhuang Wenxiu seemed to be touched. She roared suddenly and stared at Xie Jing with bloodshot eyes. The terrifying look frightened Xie Jing.

She gnashed her teeth and murmured like a possessed person, "Don't mention that bitch! Don't mention her! No one is allowed to mention her!"

The corners of Xie Fei's mouth slowly dropped, becoming extremely disdainful and cold.

She stood up, shook her sleeves and said, "In that case, there is nothing more to say. When sister Yang gets married, I will definitely send her a gift and send her off in style."

After saying this, she left without caring about the expressions of Zhuang Wenxiu and her daughter.

The couple didn’t even have lunch at Xie’s house and went back to Pei’s house.

Because Xie Fei looked cold and frosty all the way, Pei Yuan didn't dare to ask a single question.

Only after he entered the Chaohui Pavilion and closed the door did he ask, "How is it?"

Xie Fei was irritated and pulled his handkerchief, saying, "It's the same as before. She gets angry when I mention it. I really wonder if my mother dug up her family's ancestral grave."

Since this matter involved young lady Xie Fei, Pei Yuan could not speculate too much and only advised: "She will eventually give in."

Now the only one who can save Xie Yang is Xie Fei.

Zhuang Wenxiu feels sorry for her daughter, so after careful consideration, she will soften her attitude.

The next morning, Xie Fei was awakened by the noise outside.

She sat up at the head of the bed, pulled aside the curtain and asked, "What's going on outside?"

Fu Yu hurried in and said, "Miss, Guan Xiaoniang came to pay her respects to you, but was stopped by someone from our courtyard. Guan Xiaoniang is unhappy and wants to punish someone."

When Xie Fei heard this, all his sleepiness disappeared immediately.

This young lady Guan was named Guan Ruier. She was one of the beauties sent to the palace previously. Because she was deflowered by the fake Pei Yuan, she was soon taken as a concubine.

Guan Ruier is a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. When Xiao Shirong was around, she was very good at keeping a low profile. Now that Xie Fei is in charge, she thinks Xie Fei is weak and can be bullied, so she often stirs up trouble.

When the Pei Mansion was renovated earlier, it was because of her desire to live in a large courtyard that she instigated other concubines to cause trouble for Xie Fei.

At that time, in order to put on a show for Aunt Xu in the palace, Xie Fei persuaded them with kind words and gave in to them in everything, which made their appetites grow bigger and bigger, and they no longer took Xie Fei seriously.

There is no need to put on a show now, and Xie Fei doesn't want to indulge her anymore.

A new official has to make three big moves when he takes office, so let’s make one today.

In the hall, Guan Ruier was sitting and waiting. Even when Xie Fei came, she did not stand up to greet him, but just leaned lazily on the chair, not taking Xie Fei seriously at all.

Xie Fei slowly sat down at the head of the group and asked with a smile, "I heard that Sister Guan wanted to punish the people in my yard early in the morning. I wonder what it was for?"

Guan Ruier glanced at Xie Fei and almost felt dizzy.

She hadn't seen Xie Fei for a few days. She was clearly an "ugly woman" before, so why was she so beautiful and bright today?
Although he looks like a different person, his facial features are still about 80% similar to before.

It's obviously the same face, but it's very different.

How strange.
