Chapter 168 Confrontation
Chapter 168 Confrontation
Gu Rou was pushed to the ground by Xie Qing without any explanation, and the grievance in her heart was about to overflow.
"Xie Qing, how could you treat me like this! I am your legally married wife, do you know what this bitch did to me!" Gu Rou's eyes were bloodshot and her heart was filled with hatred.
But her punch seemed to hit cotton. Xie Qing said coldly: "Aunt is an elder. You have to respect her no matter what she does."
The corners of Aunt Xu's lips curled up slightly. This was the child she raised with her own hands, and also her biggest trump card.
"Bah! How can a lowly aunt like her be considered an elder?
I am the princess of the crown prince, so what if I beat her or scold her!"
"Shut up!" Xie Qing's eyes were full of disgust, and he said coldly, "If you show any disrespect to your aunt again, go back to your Anding Marquis's Mansion!"
"You..." Gu Rou was so angry that she was shaking all over, and she still wanted to argue with Xie Qing.
Gu Jin said impatiently: "Second sister's child is gone."
Gu Rou is such a fool, she can't even argue on point!
Xie Qing was stunned, and then he noticed that Gu Rou's face was frighteningly pale, and her belly, which had been curled up, became flat.
Xie Qing was shocked and angry, and he started to scold her: "What else can you do besides causing trouble? You can't even protect your own child. Why did I marry a fool like you!"
Although the two had quarreled many times in private, Gu Rou felt so ashamed and angry that Xie Qing insulted her in front of everyone today, especially in front of Gu Jin.
"Yes, if you hadn't thought Gu Jin was stupid and unhelpful and had to discuss a marriage exchange with my parents, you would have been able to marry Gu Jin. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to suffer this for her!
I thought you were a handsome man, but in fact you are just a piece of slut!" Gu Rou was so angry that she lost her temper.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him seriously, Xie Qing felt ashamed and wanted to pull Gu Rou away.
Yongchang Hou, who had been silent the whole time, said coldly: "You don't ask the reason for the matter, but just make arbitrary judgments based on your own likes and dislikes.
Xie Qing, who taught you this?"
Xie Qing frowned. He used to respect this father very much.
But ever since he saw through his father's coldness and partiality, he no longer wanted to get close to him.
"It was that bitch Aunt Xu who killed my child!" Gu Rou screamed and roared, wishing she could tear Aunt Xu to pieces.
Xie Qing flatly denied it, "That's impossible! Your aunt took care of you meticulously, and you blamed your aunt for not being able to protect your child!"
Seeing that her husband was unreservedly supporting outsiders, Gu Rou felt disheartened.
Mrs. Huo raised her eyelids and said in a calm voice, "Slut, you speak."
Hehuan shuddered, fearing that Mrs. Huo would cut off her tongue, so she told the whole story without hiding anything.
Xie Qing didn't expect this matter to be so complicated.
He looked at Gu Rou and then Aunt Xu, gritted his teeth and said, "This child cannot be kept. Even so, Gu Rou's miscarriage has nothing to do with Aunt Xu."
"How can it have nothing to do with her? If it weren't for her, how could I have been injured!" Gu Rou hated Aunt Xu to death.
When a woman loses her fertility, she loses her greatest support.
Xie Qing said lightly: "At worst, I can put the concubine's child under your name in the future, and save you the pain of childbirth."
"You...you!" Gu Rou didn't expect that Xie Qing still favored Aunt Xu at this time. She became so angry that her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Huo ordered someone to take Gu Rou away, and said earnestly: "Qing'er, as a husband and a father, how can you say such cold-blooded and heartless words?
Even if Rou'er is wrong in every way, she is still your wife. Now that she is injured because of your child, how can you still hurt her heart!"
"If I lose the child, I can have another one, but I only have one aunt, so I won't pursue this matter."
Mrs. Huo closed her eyes deeply, and her last bit of hope for Xie Qing was gone.
Yongchang Hou was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "If you don't pursue it, I will!
She framed the mistress with bad intentions, and you thought I would forgive her!"
Xie Qing pursed her lips and looked at Aunt Xu.
Aunt Xu did not make any explanation, but just looked at him silently, her eyes full of love and helplessness.
Xie Qing knew that Aunt Xu did this for him. He clenched his fists, mustered up his courage, and looked at the Yongchang Marquis and asked him word by word, "Things have come to this point today. Doesn't father have any fault?"
"What have I done wrong?" Marquis Yongchang laughed in anger.
The grievances that had been suppressed in Xie Qing's heart for a long time seemed to have opened up, and he couldn't wait to pour out all his resentment and dissatisfaction.
"After my mother passed away, you took my aunt as a concubine. She took care of me and my father diligently, but you turned around and married a new wife and forgot about the old one. Aren't you heartless and disloyal?"
Su Shi couldn't help but get angry when she saw Xie Qing bringing the matter up to her again, but Yongchang Hou patted her hand gently and said softly, "Don't worry, leave it to me."
Xie Qing felt that the scene in front of him was glaring and he coldly avoided his sight.
Yongchang Hou looked at Xie Qing coldly and said with a laugh, "Okay, let's talk about everything today."
"Back then, I didn't agree to let her enter the mansion, but she and your grandmother begged her to enter the mansion even if she had to be a concubine for life.
I told her before she came into the mansion that I had no romantic feelings for her and never would have any."
Xie Qing gritted his teeth and continued: "But don't you still have Miaoyin..."
"Why don't you ask her how she got the child?"
Xie Qing looked at Aunt Xu with a questioning look, but she kept her head down.
Yongchang Hou looked at Aunt Xu with disgust and said coldly: "She put aphrodisiac in my drink, and I only touched her that one time."
Xie Qingru was struck by lightning and his body swayed.
"I asked to marry Xiuxiu because I have admired her for a long time, not because I had no choice as the outside world said."
what!
Su was stunned and her body trembled. Is this true?
"What's wrong with me doting on my wife? Do I have to dote on my concubine and kill my wife to satisfy you?"
Xie Qing opened his mouth to think of something else to say, but Yongchang Hou continued, "You say I am biased, but I have already given you the position of the Prince of Yongchang Hou Mansion. What reason does she have to take action against Xiuxiu?
Do you really think she did it for you?"
Xie Qing's heart also began to waver.
Yes, he has become the crown prince now, and targeting the Su family will not do him much good.
Before Xie Qing could come up with an excuse for Aunt Xu, Aunt Xu raised her head coldly, looked at Yongchang Hou with a sinister look and said, "That's right, I just want Su's life!
I admit that I lost to my sister, but how can I, the daughter of the Xu family, be inferior to a merchant girl from the Su family? "
"Aunt, you..."
Aunt Xu still looked at Xie Qing with eyes full of love, "Qing'er, you are too naive, do you think you can sit back and relax just because you are the prince?
The royal family can even abandon the crown prince, let alone you, a prince.
If Su Shi were to influence the Marquis someday, who knows if he wouldn't depose you and appoint you as the heir! "
"That's enough!" Mrs. Huo could no longer bear it. "You still dare to instigate Qing'er after all this. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have grown up to be so confused about right and wrong!"
Marquis Yongchang was also extremely disappointed with Aunt Xu. His eyes were full of murderous intent. This time he would never let this vicious woman Xu Ruofu go.
He glanced at the bewildered Xie Qing, lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Xie Qing, you always say that I am stubborn and self-willed, today I will give you a chance to choose.
You can only choose one between Aunt Xu and the position of the Crown Prince. This time I leave it entirely to you to decide!"
