Chapter 163 A Close-Up Attack, Fulfilling Her Desire
Just as Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao walked into Du Heng Courtyard, a pitch-black starling also came to Du Heng Courtyard with Xiangxiang, and landed directly on the roof, watching the fun openly.
However, the servants of Du Hengyuan were all attracted by Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao, and were on high alert against them, and did not notice the starling and the small green buds on its back.
While no one was paying attention, the little green bud slipped directly from the roof to the flower bed, then crawled underground, quietly came to the position under Xie Jia's feet, pricked her soles, and then quickly slipped back to the roof to continue watching the fun.
Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao also didn't notice.
When the two heard what Xie Jia said, they were surprised and walked straight in.
Seeing this, the servants immediately wanted to stop it.
Unexpectedly, just as they stopped the two, they heard Tu Jiaojiao's dissatisfied scolding: "What are you doing? My husband and I heard that the second sister returned home, so we rushed over to visit. What are you doing here? Doesn't mother want to see my husband and me?"
She deliberately raised her voice, and when Xie Jia and Chen Fang, who were talking in the room, heard it, their faces changed instantly.
Xie Jia was dissatisfied with the maid next to him: "Who is outside? Why does the voice sound so strange?"
The maid hurriedly looked at Chen Fang, not knowing how to answer.
Seeing that she refused to speak, Xie Jia immediately raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry.
But before she could vent her anger, she heard Chen Fang say calmly, "Those outside are your elder brother and his wife. Although they just came back from the countryside, they are not the type to be bullied. You are their younger sister after all. When you see them later, remember to call them and don't make trouble!"
How could Xie Jia agree to that?
She had been spoiled since she was a child and was used to doing whatever she wanted. She never took her half-brother Xie You seriously.
He was even more disgusted with his half-brother Xie Xiu.
She was only four years old when Xie Xiu left home and disappeared without a trace. How much impression could she have of this half-brother?
However, I heard a few days ago that Xie Xiu has been staying in the countryside for many years, and his newborn daughter was almost switched and exiled to the border.
She felt even more contempt for her half-brother, thinking that he was a waste. Moreover, he had been living in the countryside for so many years and married a country girl, so he must be full of rusticity.
Xie Jia recalled the news he had heard about Xie Xiu before, and his contempt grew stronger.
She sneered disdainfully: "Mother, you are flattering them too much. A country woman is worthy of being my sister-in-law?"
Because she did not take Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao seriously, she did not lower her voice but raised it a little. She wanted the two people outside to hear it so that they would feel ashamed of themselves and stop acting like the elder brother and sister-in-law in front of her.
Anyway, this is Chen Fang's yard, and the people serving here are theirs.
So what if she is disrespectful to her elder brother and sister-in-law?
Do they dare to tell anyone?
Xie Jia is fearless.
She gained a lot of knowledge during this trip.
Those country girls were so timid that they didn't even dare to raise their heads in front of her.
This so-called sister-in-law is probably no different from those village girls.
After Xie Jia finished speaking, he looked towards the door proudly.
She wanted to see if those two dared to come in. Perhaps they were too embarrassed to face anyone and just ran away?
Because she was too proud of herself, she didn't even notice that Chen Fang's face suddenly turned gloomy.
At the same time, Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao also strode in.
As soon as the two appeared at the door, Xie Jia was stunned.
She only had a very vague impression of her half-brother Xie Xiu, but when she saw the person standing at the door, she immediately realized that it was Xie Xiu.
It was not because she already knew the other person's identity, but because as soon as she saw this person, she thought of Xie Yun.
Xie Xiu looks a bit like Xie Yun, but he is more handsome and more fresh and handsome than Xie Yun.
Even compared to Xie Yi, he was not inferior at all, and even appeared more mature and stable.
And the woman standing next to him was not only tall and slender, but also heroic, with sharp eyes and eyebrows. She didn't look like the village girls she saw outside at all!
This woman is really a country girl, not the daughter of a military general?
Xie Jia noticed Tu Jiaojiao's rude gaze and became increasingly dissatisfied.
She deliberately raised her chin and looked at Tu Jiaojiao with a provocative and feigned disdainful look: "I heard that you are just a country girl, is that true?"
How could Tu Jiaojiao be polite to her?
She looked at Xie Jia with the same disdainful gaze, and instead of answering, she asked, "I heard that you eloped with a strange man. Is that true?"
Xie Jia's face flushed instantly, and she shouted, "You are so rude, woman! Who told you that I eloped with someone? I was kidnapped and then rescued by Pei Rong.
He and I are innocent. After he saved me, he tried every possible way to bring me home. Fortunately, I met the Black Kirin Guards on the way, and I was able to return to the capital safely."
Although Xie Jia acted recklessly, she was not stupid. She knew that if she eloped with someone, her reputation would be completely ruined, so she deliberately came up with such an excuse.
In this way, she and Pei Rong were not eloping, but were rescued from danger, and Pei Rong also saved her life.
Even though his parents disliked Pei Rong's humble family background, they had no choice but to agree to their marriage.
What's more, she had read Pei Rong's article.
His handwriting and writing were excellent, and he would surely be admitted to a high school. He was also gentle and considerate to her, and extremely thoughtful.
But he is much better than those men who have a good family background but are full of nonsense and arrogant.
When Xie Jia thought of the men Chen Fang picked for her, she felt disgusted.
In her opinion, Pei Rong was more than a hundred times or a thousand times stronger than those men, he just lacked a family background.
As long as she marries Pei Rong and waits for Pei Rong to pass the imperial examination, with her father's support, she will surely be able to rise smoothly in the officialdom in the future.
Isn't this better than marrying into one of those big families and suffering bullying?
When Xie Jia thought of Pei Rong, he no longer had the heart to deal with Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao. He just wanted to get rid of them quickly so that he could continue to persuade Chen Fang to prepare for her marriage.
However, Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao are not Xie You's concubine daughters, so how could they allow Xie Jia to bully them?
Tu Jiaojiao sneered, "Second sister is the one who is so rude! I'm your eldest sister-in-law! They say an eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. Is this how you usually treat your mother?"
Xie Jia was so angry that his mind was heated up. He was immediately furious and blurted out: "What do you mean by 'eldest sister-in-law is like a mother?' My mother is not dead yet! How can you, the eldest sister-in-law, be a mother?"
Besides, a country girl like you is worthy of being my sister-in-law? Big brother, you'd better divorce her quickly to avoid bringing shame to the family..."
"Snapped!"
Tu Jiaojiao slapped Xie Jia hard in the face before she finished brushing, knocking her to the ground.
"what--"
Xie Jia screamed in pain and was about to complain loudly, but Tu Jiaojiao suddenly accused her loudly, "Second sister, I am your eldest sister-in-law, how could you hit me?"
Xie Jia was so angry that he yelled, his voice breaking: "You are talking nonsense, it was obviously you who hit me!"
Tu Jiaojiao's voice choked with sobs: "Second sister, you hit me, and you're still spitting blood!"
Chen Fang was so angry that her heart ached.
"Enough!" she shouted angrily, looking at Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao with cold eyes. "Your second sister finally returned safely, and you rushed all the way here just to bully her in front of me?"
Tu Jiaojiao's face was immediately filled with grievance: "Even if my husband wasn't born from my womb, I shouldn't be so partial. My second sister is so rude that she even dares to hit me, her eldest sister-in-law, and yet I'm protecting her!"
Xie Xiu's face was filled with sadness and loss. He pulled her aside and said, "Forget it. Since mother doesn't want to see us, let's just leave."
After saying that, he took Tu Jiaojiao and left.
"you……"
Xie Jia was so angry that he wanted to chase after him and beat him up, but was stopped by Chen Fang.
She looked at Chen Fang in disbelief: "Mom! They are so arrogant, and you just let them do that?"
Chen Fang's face was gloomy, and she glared at her warningly: "That Tu Jiaojiao is so strong, do you think she didn't hit hard enough?"
Xie Jia glared angrily at the two men as they left. "Are we just going to let them go like this? Was that slap I took in vain? Mother, you have to help me! Didn't Xie Xiu's deceased mother leave behind quite a bit of dowry? Give it all to me as a dowry!"
She deliberately spoke loudly so that Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao could hear.
The two of them froze. Tu Jiaojiao was so angry that she wanted to turn around and deal with her, but Xie Xiu tightly grasped her hand and whispered, "Let's go see father."
Since Xie Jia insisted on seeking death, he would help her!
