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

Chapter 96 Figure it out
Xie's father's name was Xie Xiongcheng, which sounded quite heroic, but he was actually a weak civil servant.

When Xie Xiongcheng was young, he was a handsome and suave man. He was praised wherever he went. He was a handsome and elegant young man.

Now that she is over 40, she still has her charm, and her figure and appearance are both outstanding.

Thanks to him, the seven children of the Xie family were all good-looking.

Especially Xie Jing, Xie Yang, and Xie Fei who changed his appearance and concealed his true face, all have outstanding facial features and are beautiful in their own way.

At this moment, Xie Xiongcheng was sitting behind the desk, holding a book and reading calmly.

Although he is old, Xie Xiongcheng is still like a strong and tough pine tree, tall and steady, solemn and lonely.

Xie Fei stepped forward and kowtowed, saying, "My daughter greets you, my lord."

Xie Xiongcheng raised his eyes, his cold gaze intimidating without even being angry.

"You married into the Pei family, but it seems you haven't been content."

Xie Fei raised his head and asked, "Then my Lord, what do you think I should do to keep myself in peace? Should I let others drive me to death, or should I just end my life and get rid of this trouble for the Pei and Xie families?"

Xie Xiongcheng sneered, "It seems that what your mother said is right. After getting married, you have the confidence to challenge your parents' family."

There seemed to be a hint of melancholy between his brows, which added a hint of deep and domineering aura to his already serious face.

All the brothers and sisters in the family are afraid of Xie Xiongcheng, but Xie Fei is not.

Or, more importantly, resentment.

She took a breath and tried hard to suppress the resentment in her heart.

"My Lord, you should know exactly what kind of person I am. After the New Year, I will be sixteen. In the past sixteen years, I have been begging for mercy, pretending to be crazy and stupid, and I have finally survived."

Since you have fought hard to survive, why should you die again and fulfill the wishes of others?

Xie Fei bowed again and continued, "My Lord, there is no need to be angry about the current rumors, because there will definitely be worse rumors in the future. If no one offends me, I will live a peaceful life. If someone offends me, then we will fight to the death and let it go!"

After saying that, Xie Fei turned around and left.

Outside the study, the little girl had been listening, and her back felt cold with fear at Xie Fei's words.

On the way to lead Xie Fei back to the guest room, the little girl said with sweat dripping down her face, "Sixth Miss, how dare you speak to the master like that? The master is the most strict. If he gets angry, will you be in trouble?"

Xie Fei said calmly: "For more than ten years, no matter how obedient and sensible I was, I still got nothing good, didn't I?"

The little girl was speechless for a moment.

That night, Xie Fei stayed at Xie's house, but he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep well.

The next morning, the roosters crowed and I finally closed my eyes, but Xie Jing disturbed my peace.

Even though Xie Jing was extremely anxious, his tone was indifferent and one could not hear much emotion in his voice.

She pulled back Xie Fei's quilt and said calmly, "My mother asked me to go to Madam Zheng's ice skating party in the Marquis' Mansion!"

Xie Fei opened his eyelids with difficulty, "What meeting? Whose?"

"Madam Zheng, the first wife of the Marquis' Mansion, belongs to your aunt from your husband's family." Xie Jing went to get the clothes and put them on Xie Fei randomly.

Xie Fei sat up crookedly, and said with a shy look: "It's just ice skating, it's not like you don't know how to do it, go ahead."

As she spoke, she was about to lie down again, but before her head touched the pillow, Xie Jing pulled her up again.

Xie Jing said expressionlessly: "I don't like it."

She seldom attended banquets hosted by noble ladies in the capital, and could hardly recognize many of them.

But Zhuang Wenxiu said that if she didn't go, there were plenty of ways to force her to submit. Xie Fei said, "If you don't like it, does that mean I like it?"

Xie Jing looked at the brazier in the room and said calmly, "When you were five years old, your father punished you by making you kneel down and starve. I stole a chicken leg for you. When your father found out, he knelt with you all night."

Xie Fei: "..."

"When you were eight years old, your winter clothes were burned by Yang'er. I used my own New Year's money to buy you several warm cotton clothes."

"..."

"When I was ten years old, you bought the sick Fu Yu and insisted on raising her. My parents didn't allow me to do that, so I begged them for several days, even standing in the cold wind and catching a cold, and I used a cruel trick to force them to agree."

"..."

"Twelve years old……"

"Alright, alright." Xie Fei's sleepiness was swept away, and he put on his clothes helplessly, muttering, "You have controlled me for the rest of my life."

Xie Jing raised his lips, revealing a subtle smile.

Many of the prominent families in the capital city attended Mrs. Zheng's ice-skating party.

Originally, the Xie family was not well-known and should have no chance to attend the event, but they unexpectedly received an invitation.

Zhuang Wenxiu was so happy that she woke up her two daughters early in the morning and asked them to dress up nicely so that they could shine at the ice skating party.

Xie Yang sat in front of the mirror and saw the beautiful girl in it, feeling quite dissatisfied.

"Mother, I am going to marry Brother Minghuai. The Ningguo family may not go to Madam Zheng's ice skating party, so why should I go to join in the fun?"

What if another family took a fancy to her and forced her to marry him? Wouldn’t she miss out on the Ningguo family?

Zhuang Wenxiu put a pearl flower in her hair, looked at her in the mirror, and then gave her some advice.

"Don't just think about your brother Ming Huai. Even though he is the grandson of Duke Ningguo, the title of Duke may not necessarily fall to him in the future.

You are young and beautiful now, you should be more selective and look for a suitable husband, don't think of hanging yourself on a tree. "

Upon hearing this, Xie Yang pulled out all the pearl hairpins in dissatisfaction, stamped her feet and howled.

"I will only marry Brother Ming Huai, only him!"

Zhuang Wenxiu hurriedly coaxed him, "Alright, alright, little ancestor! How old are you? You keep talking about whether to get married or not. If it gets out, people will laugh at you!"

Xie Yang said dissatisfiedly: "I only like Brother Ming Huai. If it were someone else, even a member of the royal family, I would not like him! If you force me, I will learn from my grandmother and go to the mountains to become a nun!"

Zhuang Wenxiu had no choice but to give in. "Okay, okay, let's wait and see. You can go to Madam Zheng's ice skating party and show off. Maybe other families will take a fancy to you and come to propose marriage. What if the Ningguo family gets anxious and comes to propose marriage as well?"

Xie Yang smiled shyly, and thought this was the best way, and immediately became proud.

As they were getting dressed, Mother Cao came in and said, "Madam, the fifth and sixth girls are here."

Zhuang Wenxiu's face changed slightly, "What is that girl doing here?"

Mother Cao said, "Maybe Fifth Miss called them over. The two of them are talking and laughing outside."

Zhuang Wenxiu said with a dark face: "Jing'er's simple personality is exactly the same as her aunt! Xie Fei is a shrewd man. One day, she will be deceived and left with nothing even her underwear!"

Mother Cao said, "Don't worry. It's a good thing for the Sixth Miss to go. She's already married as a concubine, and she's ugly. She'll make our two girls look even more beautiful."

Xie Yang snorted coldly and said, "Beauty is beauty, why does she need others to set her off? But sister is really something, she even called her along. Aren't you afraid that she, a lowly concubine, will lower our status if she walks with us!"
