Chapter 679: Inconsistency

Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, Xie Yu nodded slightly at her again,

"Aunt Bai is right. If it weren't for fate, I would have stood here and would have reunited with my mother in the underworld."

Listening to Xie Yu's reminder, Ma Ruren's eyes flashed, and she suddenly remembered that her son had mentioned to her that this man fell from the building. At that time, they were still wondering if this man was really blessed?

He didn't get hurt after falling from such a high place, and it was so coincidental that he was borrowed by someone.

It seems that the person who saved him is this Bai in front of him, no wonder Xie Yu is so familiar and close to her.

So what if they are close, I heard that this person is from the countryside. The eldest son of the Xie family, he lowered his status to get close to a rural peasant woman, aren't you afraid of tarnishing the Xie family?

After all, he was raised by slaves and degraded himself.

"Brother Yu is the elder brother, why did he make his cousin's eyes red? You have to know that you are the elder brother, and it is your responsibility to take care of your sister. "

Listening to the inconsistency of Ma Ruren's tone, Bai Yunxi raised her eyebrows.

This person speaks softly, not only setting traps for others everywhere, but also looking down on others.

No wonder Mrs. Liu has a lot of opinions about this person, he is really not liked.

Sure enough, as soon as Ma Ruren finished speaking, other people looked at her, with curiosity and gossip in their eyes.

During this period, it was popular for cousins ​​to get married. If you accidentally implicate two people together, you must be responsible for the sake of your reputation, otherwise your reputation will be damaged.

Listening to the gentle reminder of the stepmother and looking at her kind smile, Xie Yu chuckled,

"Mother, it's better not to say that. There is no one in the whole county who doesn't know the situation of our family. My biological mother died early, my uncle's surname is Duan, and my cousin's surname is naturally Duan. Miss Ma and I are honorary cousins, and I dare not get close to this kind of relationship, so as not to get into trouble. "

Once Xie Yu said this, there was nothing she didn't understand. But after all, this was someone else's family affair, so it was not easy for others to interrupt.

Ma Ruren looked at the faint mockery in his eyes and almost couldn't keep her smile on her face.

This stepson never really regarded her as a mother.

When he spoke to her before, his words were quite respectful, but now, no matter what she said, although this man still had a smile on his face, the mocking look in his eyes always made her feel like a lump in her throat.

Since the Duan family backed him up, this man has gradually lost his control. Even the master no longer ignores him as before.

It was also her fault for being too impatient. She made a mistake and ended up with this... This is a difficult situation to deal with.

But when he thought of him standing in the position of the eldest son of the Xie family, holding most of the property of the entire mansion, he felt unhappy.

Although she was a stepmother, she was also the wife of the Xie family, and her son was also a legitimate son. But because he, the eldest son of the original wife, stood there, her son would always be inferior to others.

Why?

When this thought came to her mind, Ma Ruren looked at Xie Yu with a gloomy look.

In just a moment, she had a kind and gentle face again.

"You, child, no matter what others say, our relationship is here, whether there is a trace of blood relationship or not, you are cousins. Besides, Juanniang, like you, lost her mother when she was young."

"That child is timid, and you, as a cousin, should take care of her more. Do you still need me, as a mother, to beg you for this? ”

The elder brother from her natal family wants to marry her to her husband, but her niece is a little petty in the Ma family. How can she be worthy of her brother Li?

Besides, who says that the one who wants to marry her to her husband must be a biological son? The step-son is the best candidate.

As long as this marriage is facilitated, her niece will become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xie family, and everything in the Xie family will return to her hands.

She has been raising her niece for these years and treating her with sincerity. Her niece relies on her wholeheartedly as an aunt.

As long as Xie Yu marries Juanniang, then they will be of one mind. So what if Xie Yu is the eldest son? He still has to listen to her obediently?

Bai Yunxi listened to Ma Ruren's thoughts and felt a big trough in her heart.

Looking at the kind-faced and evil-hearted county magistrate, is she trying to use her niece to control Xie Yu and seize the industry in Xie Yu's hands?

She is really thinking out of the ordinary.

Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi glanced at Ma Juan under the pomegranate tree. Although she didn't like this girl, as her aunt, She even calculated her niece's marriage, she is really not a good person.

Sure enough, the rumors in the county did not wrongly accuse her.

This woman's calculations are not ordinary. She peeked at the original wife's dowry and even cultivated a puppet niece.

I wonder if Xie Yu can take this big move?

Everyone listened to Ma Ruren's gentle persuasion, and then looked at Xie Yu's calm appearance, and everyone had different ideas.

There is a sentence that Xie Yu said is right. The people of the county know about the Xie family. But in the circle of these people, they may know more details.

But at the same time, there are also many people who sympathize with Ma Ruren. After all, it is not easy to be a stepmother.

Receiving the strange eyes of the crowd, Xie Yu's smile faded a little, and he glanced at Ma Juan under the pomegranate tree and narrowed his eyes.

"Mother, what you said is not appropriate. Although you are not my biological mother, you are also my mother. How dare I let my mother beg me? You want to make your son unfilial. "

"Also, I don't think Miss Ma is timid. She came to visit someone else's house, but instead of following the host, she wandered around alone and even opened the door and ran to the front yard without permission. A timid person wouldn't dare to do such a thing."

Hearing Xie Yu directly point out that she opened the corner door, Ma Juan's face flushed, staggered back a step, staring at him with tears in her eyes,

"I... didn't run to the front yard, I just wanted to see the pomegranate flowers."

The front yard was full of men, if she admitted it, her life would be over.

Ma Ruren looked at her niece crying, and then looked at Xie Yu who didn't care, she gnashed her teeth in hatred, but still couldn't get angry.

"Brother Yu, look how scared you are to make Juanniang. Don't dare to speak nonsense in front of so many people."

"Mother, what right do you have to say that I am speaking nonsense? I am just stating the facts. Why don't you ask Miss Ma in person whether she opened the corner door herself?"

Ma Juan: "..."

"The junior sister took the girls to the inner courtyard, but she was the only one who ran out. In terms of age, I think the youngest should be the little girl Fei'er, right? She all knows that it is safest to stay with her aunt, but Miss Ma doesn't know. This may not be a problem of age, but of brains."

Everyone: "..."

Although the words are unpleasant, they are also reasonable and cannot be refuted.

Seeing everyone silent, Xie Yu bent the corner of his lips,

"Mother, before blaming someone next time, you should first understand the situation. Otherwise, people will say that you are treating your stepson harshly."

Ma Ruren choked, looking at the sarcasm in Xie Yu's eyes, and tightened her hands hidden in her sleeves, almost unable to maintain a smile.
