Chapter 680: Disassociating Oneself Promptly Is the Best Course of Action

This rebellious son, relying on the support of the Duan family, paid less and less attention to her and became more and more unruly.

After a second thought, Ma Ruren regained his composure.

Ha~, so what if she is a stepmother? As long as she holds her position as the mistress of the Xie family, this traitor will not dare to make any mistakes. If you are disobedient, you are unfilial. If you want to have an official career under the label of unfilial piety, there will be no way.

Listening to Ma Ruren's voice, Bai Yunxi suddenly felt very sorry for Xie Yu. It's really not easy to survive until now after being plotted by the stepmother.

In the past, she always felt that Xie Yu had a mask on his face and was different from what he looked like.

After looking at it now, she felt that Xie Yu could use one or two more masks and switch between them.

Look, although he was very angry in his heart, he still had a smile on his face, but there was an irritability in his whole person from the inside out.

There is always the possibility of an outburst.

It has to be said that Xie Yu has lived in this kind of environment for a long time. In order to protect himself, it is not easy to do this.

When it comes to your own interests, you would rather offend others than make people have ambiguous thoughts. It is the right thing to clear up the relationship in time.

Bai Yunxi doesn't care what others think, but she agrees with Xie Yu's approach.

The right way is to boldly say no to things that are not good for you.

Meeting Bai Yunxi's admiring gaze, Xie Yu looked at her in surprise, and saw her giving him a thumbs up inadvertently. After being stunned, her heart warmed.

In the past, he was the one standing on the opposite side of everyone, fighting alone, but suddenly he had a supporter, and he felt weird in his heart. Not only did he not dislike him, he also liked him.

Xiao Wu stood next to Xie Yu, and naturally did not miss my mother's little movements. Apart from looking at the sky speechlessly, he could only hold back laughter in his heart.

When the topic reached this point, the place fell silent and the atmosphere was strange.

Xie Yu humiliated her stepmother and revealed that Ma Juan herself was in such a situation because she broke the rules of being a guest and ran around.

Seeing Ma Juan's eyes turn red from crying, everyone looked at her with disgust.

If you don't say you made a mistake, you're crying as if you've been wronged. It's easy for others to misunderstand, okay?

This kind of temperament is really hard to describe.

After all, Ma Ruren, the niece of her mother's family, has been with her for four or five years. Why is she still so petty?

It's really disappointing to cry at someone else's house on your big day.

Zhang Yiren was speechless when she saw everyone staring at the Xie family inexplicably at the excitement.

At the same time, it also gave her a new understanding of this Ma Ruren. It was not appropriate to talk about family matters in other people's homes, and she also made her stepson look bad in front of everyone. Fortunately, Brother Yu resolved the situation.

But as a mother, arguing with her son about her superiority will ultimately lead to her losing the battle. ׺°”˜˜`”°º×

As a dignified child, don’t you know that if you are in trouble, your stepson will live up to his words?

So, what's the point of still arguing?

Today is a banquet for her Zhang family, not a stage for a show. If anyone ruins her banquet, no matter what her identity is, she must give an explanation.

"Ahem~, in the final analysis, it is all the misunderstanding caused by these two pomegranate trees. When the fruits are produced in the fall, I will pick them and give them to you to try."

"Today, while the weather is nice, let's go drink tea under the vines. As for these young men, all of them are young talents. They like to talk about ancient and modern times, recite poems and write poems, so we won't disturb them."

As soon as Zhang Yiren finished speaking, Mrs. Liu next to her immediately echoed,

"That's true. Our girls can also play music, chess, calligraphy and painting. If you want to be elegant and lively, I will host a flower-viewing banquet later, invite the girls to drink tea and watch the flowers, and perform a talent show at the same time. Have fun. Ha. I hope you ladies will appreciate it then."

"It's natural. We are all vying to go to the flower viewing party hosted by Madam Liu."

"That's right, don't forget to send us a message then."

When the flower viewing party was mentioned, everyone's topic was immediately changed.

Zhang Yiren glanced at his daughter, then returned to the inner courtyard with his female family members chatting and laughing.

Zhang Yishan walked up to Ma Juan and took her arm, "Miss Ma, let's go. I'll take you to cleanse your face, and then we'll have tea."

Next time there was a banquet at home, she would definitely remind her mother not to invite this person over, it would be too much trouble.

Holding a banquet is so busy and tiring, how can I keep an eye on her all the time?

The group of people returned to the inner courtyard, and the corner door was also closed by the old woman. Not only did she hang up the bolt, but she also personally guarded the door, not daring to leave.

The chatter and laughter continued until the end, and everyone said goodbye and left one by one.

Seeing that it was getting late, Bai Yunxi also got up.

"It's been a hard and pleasant day today. Thank you very much for your hospitality. Xiaowu will be taken care of by you and the dean from now on. As a mother, I am extremely grateful. It's getting late and I have to leave."

Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, Zhang Yiren scolded her,

"I am Chengqin's wife. From now on we are one family, no need to be polite."

She was only a daughter, and now she had an additional son. Besides, Xiaowu lives in the academy on weekdays and only comes back during holidays, so it’s not really a bother.

"No matter what, I still want to thank sister Yiren and thank the dean for favoring Xiaowu. Xiaowu is lucky to meet you."

Dean Zhang was so kind to Xiao Wu. A few words of thanks from her were nothing compared to his teachings day after day.

"It's getting late today. Wouldn't it be better to stay at home for one night and go back early tomorrow morning?"

Zhang Yiren looked at the sky. It took almost two hours from the county seat to Willow Bay. They took a bullock cart to get home, and it was already dark.

Two female dependents, it is not safe on the road.

"It doesn't matter. The days are long now and it won't be dark when I get home. I've been out for a few days, so it's time to go back and take a look. Besides, with Wenyou following me, nothing will happen."

Bai Yunxi knew how tiring it was to hold a banquet. If she stayed there, she would inevitably cause trouble to others.

Hearing her mention Wenyou, Zhang Yiren followed Bai Yunxi's gaze and looked over. The girl was leaning on the tree trunk and looking at the sky with her hands on the back of her head.

From the first time they met, she felt that Yun Xi, her goddaughter, was extraordinary.

She specifically mentioned it again today, which proved that her guess was correct, that girl was no ordinary woman.

All the guests in the mansion had left, and Zhang Yiren took Bai Yunxi directly to the front yard.

Seeing the dean, Bai Yunxi greeted him for a few more words, then called Xiao Wu to the side and handed her a purse.

"Here are ten coins. Take it. Even though you have become the dean's teacher, you still have to pay for accommodation and food."

Looking at the heavy purse, Xiao Wu shook his head, "Mom, I don't need so much."

"Be prepared. If you need to buy books or something, you won't go hungry."

Bai Yunxi looked at him, thinking about the excitement of this day, but couldn't help but explain,

"The county is no better than the village. You must pay attention to everything and don't be plotted by others."
