Chapter 113 Qu Wan'er's overtures are ill-intentioned.
When Xie Yun found Xie Xiu, he had already returned to Xiaoxiang Courtyard with Xie Ying in his arms.
As he walked over, he saw the child suddenly turn his head and look straight at him with his black eyes.
Although Xie Yun knew that a child of this age couldn't see clearly, he still felt inexplicably guilty and had the urge to turn around and run away.
But thinking of the old lady's stubbornness and the old man's sudden stroke, he hardened his heart and walked over.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached, Xie Xiu asked quietly, "Why is father here? Do you also believe that cunning servant's lies and think Yingying is an evil spirit who will bring disaster to her relatives?"
Xie Yun's face darkened in displeasure. Although this was indeed a bit unfair to a child, Xie Xiu's attitude still made him very dissatisfied!
He angrily shouted in dissatisfaction: "What's your attitude? I'm your father!"
Unexpectedly, Xie Xiu sneered, "Yes, you are my biological father, and Yingying's biological grandfather. But now you suspect Yingying of being evil just because of the nonsense of a wicked servant. Yingying is still so young, how can you bear to do that?"
Xie Yun choked immediately and was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Unexpectedly, Tu Jiaojiao burst in and asked, "What does father want to do with Yingying?"
This question was too direct, making Xie Yun furious: "How can you just barge in when a man is talking? Are there any rules?"
"When my daughter-in-law was in the countryside, there really weren't these rules."
Tu Jiaojiao showed no sign of weakness and looked directly into Xie Yun's eyes. "Yingying is my daughter, born after ten months of pregnancy. Now my father wants to treat her as an evil spirit and deal with her. Don't I, as her mother, have the right to listen to him?"
Xie Yun felt a chill run down his spine when she looked at him, and he was even a little afraid to meet her gaze.
He looked away and scolded unhappily, "What are you thinking about? Yingying is my granddaughter. How could I punish her just because of the nonsense of a naughty slave?
It's just that your grandfather suddenly had a stroke, and your grandmother was upset and is now very angry. So I want you to move to another courtyard and live there for a few days. When your grandmother calms down, you can come back."
As soon as he finished speaking, a maid suddenly came in to report that Qu Wan'er had arrived.
Xie Yun looked outside the door in surprise, somewhat puzzled as to why Qu Wan'er suddenly came here.
Could it be that she also believed those words, so she came to Xiaoxiang Courtyard to vent her anger?
Xie Yun frowned, feeling a little unhappy.
He liked Qu Wan'er's kindness, gentleness and understanding the most, but he didn't want her to cause a scene in the mansion because of some gossip.
Especially coming to Xie Xiu to cause trouble.
Doesn't this make things difficult for him?
Xie Xiu had been wandering outside for many years and had just returned home. If he made a big fuss, how would people in the capital view him?
By then, the good reputation he had worked so hard to build over the years would be completely ruined!
Xie Yun immediately wanted to ask Qu Wan'er to go back, but Xie Xiu was quicker: "Since Madam Qu is here, please ask her to come in."
Xie Yun frowned and wanted to object, but the maid had already turned around and led Qu Wan'er in.
He could only look at Qu Wan'er unhappily: "How's Bao'er? Why did you come here so suddenly?"
Unexpectedly, Qu Wan'er smiled softly, knelt and bowed to him, then said softly, "I came here to tell the eldest young master and the eldest young mistress that I don't believe in the so-called evil spirits. I just didn't expect that the master would be here too."
Xie Yun suddenly felt embarrassed and ashamed.
Qu Wan'er came here specifically to say these things. He actually thought that she was ignorant and came here to vent her anger.
"The so-called evil spirits are indeed nonsense."
Xie Yun would never admit that he was actually half-believing and half-doubting. He said in a high-sounding manner, "I will thoroughly investigate that woman to find out why she said such nonsense.
There has been some chaos in the mansion recently, so you should stay in the other courtyard for a while to avoid any further trouble."
After saying that, he looked at Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao nervously, fearing that the two would suddenly start a quarrel.
Unexpectedly, the two of them just had cold faces and did not make a big fuss.
Xie Xiu asked calmly, "Where is the villa that father mentioned?"
Xie Yun hesitated for a moment, then took out the house deed and the land deed from his sleeve and handed them to Xie Xiu with all his heart. "Although this villa is a bit far from the Imperial College, it has a quiet environment and is very elegantly built. You will definitely like it when you move in."
When Yingying and Di'er were one month old, I was far away in Beijing and couldn't attend. This villa was used as a make-up gift for them. When the children are older, they will be transferred to their names."
Xie Xiu took the deed without hesitation, a smile on his face. "Father, I'm afraid you'll have to prepare a separate full-moon gift. Yingying has suffered such a great injustice today. I think this villa is just the right compensation for her. Don't you agree, Father?"
Xie Yun: “!!!”
He silently gritted his teeth, secretly cursing "bastard" several times in his heart, then smiled and said: "You are thoughtful. Yingying has suffered such a great injustice, she should be compensated well."
Xie Xiu smiled again and said, "Then let's have the servants pack up and move out as soon as possible, so that grandma can be at ease and father won't be embarrassed."
Seeing that he agreed so readily and without any resentment on his face, Xie Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He said sternly, "Then you guys take your time to pack up. I'll be leaving first. After I interrogate that woman, I'll definitely give you an explanation."
Xie Yun spoke seriously, but Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao didn't believe it at all. However, now was not the time to fall out, so they didn't expose him.
Seeing that Xie Yun was about to leave, Qu Wan'er smiled politely at the two of them and followed Xie Yun out.
Xie Xiu personally escorted the two out, but just as he reached the gate of the yard, he saw a group of people walking towards him.
The leader was not only the old lady, but also a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest.
Xie Xiu looked at their ill-intentioned appearance and his expression suddenly darkened: "Father, what do you mean by this?"
Xie Yun felt that he was very wronged!
How would he know what was going on?
That Taoist priest was not found by him!
Could it be the old lady?
No, he had clearly convinced the old lady, and how could he just find a Taoist priest in such a short time?
Could it be Chen Fang?
Xie Yun subconsciously looked for Chen Fang, but found that she was not there at all.
The old lady was accompanied by Xie You, Bai Yuzhu, and a group of maids and servants.
"I also want to know what's going on!"
Xie Yun snorted coldly as a response to Xie Xiu.
He won't take the blame!
Xie Xiu had a gloomy face and said nothing, just staring coldly at the Taoist priest who was getting closer and closer.
The Taoist priest came straight to him with a whisk in one hand and a Bagua plate in the other.
Then he frowned, pointed at him with a serious expression and said, "You have a strong evil spirit!"
Xie Xiu laughed out loud, murderous intent swirling in his eyes. "Really? Then what else did you see?"
