I was switched at birth after transmigrating into a book, but I used my superpowers to wreak havoc!

Chapter 79: Dogs Fighting

Tu Jiaojiao subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Xie Rou spoke first, saying, "Grandmother is willing to teach Rouer personally, and Rouer couldn't ask for more.

It's just too late tonight, and I don't have time to clean up. I'm also afraid of disturbing Great Grandmother's sleep. Why don't you go back tonight and move in with Great Grandmother tomorrow?"

"Okay, okay, I was right about you. You are a good kid."

The old lady laughed with satisfaction, touched Xie Rou's head lovingly, and looked at Xie Ying in Tu Jiaojiao's arms.

Tu Jiaojiao was dissatisfied and frowned, wanting to refuse, but Xie Rou gently pulled her sleeve, so she had to hold it back.

Soon Xie Xiu brought Xie Tang over. After bidding farewell to the old lady, he took Tu Jiaojiao and Xie Rou out of Songheyuan.

After the two left, the old man, reeking of alcohol, came up to the old lady and asked in confusion, "Are you really going to teach that girl yourself? She grew up in the countryside, and her personality is probably already formed. It won't be easy to change her."

The old lady took a sip of the health-promoting tea and said quietly, "It's not easy, but we have to give it a try. That girl is beautiful, Jia'er and You'er are far inferior to her. It would be a pity to marry her off casually."

It would be better to let her move here, change her temper, and find her a good family in the future. Then, we can also help Yi'er and Xin'er."

At this point, her expression suddenly turned very ugly, "If Chen Fang hadn't always doted on Jia'er and not allowed me to discipline her, how could Jia'er have done such a foolish thing?

After she did something like this, even if she was found, it would be difficult for her to find a good family. You'er was only a concubine's daughter, so her marriage could not bypass Jia'er.

Now, there are only three good candidates: Rou'er, Jinse, and Yingying. However, Jinse and Yingying are too young and it will take many years before they can get married, so they can only spend more time on Rou'er.

She is good-looking, but it's a pity that she grew up in the countryside. If we don't take advantage of these years to train her well, how can we let her marry into a good family?"

The old man waved his hand lazily: "You can worry about such girl's affairs. I won't interfere and worry about it."

After saying that, he turned and walked out.

The old lady watched the maid help him out of the door, and his old hand was groping the maid in an indecent manner. Her old face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot!

This shameless old thing!

Why don’t you just die quickly!

However, when she thought of her son's career, her face froze again: No, if the old man dies, my son will have to observe mourning for three years. This won't do!

Forget it, let the old thing live a few more years. At worst, she can just turn a blind eye to it!

And the other side.

Tu Jiaojiao held it in all the way until she returned to Xiaoxiang Courtyard, entered the house, and dismissed the servants. Then she said unhappily, "The old lady asked Rou'er to move to Songhe Courtyard, but I don't want Rou'er to move there!"

Xie Xiu looked at Xie Rou: "Rou'er, what do you mean?"

Xie Rou smiled faintly: "My daughter thinks it's okay to move over and live there for a few days. We just arrived here and are unfamiliar with the place. I'm afraid those servants will be wary of us.

But if my daughter went to Songheyuan, she would always hear some news.

Moreover, she is an elder after all, and she is also old. She said that she wanted to teach Rouer personally. If my parents refused, it would inevitably give people a reason to criticize her, making them look arrogant and rude, and they would also be branded as unfilial.

Tu Jiaojiao frowned.

She knew that what her daughter said made sense, but how could she feel at ease if her daughter moved to Songheyuan and left her?

This is the Xie Mansion, not her and Xie Xiu’s own home!

Chen Fang has been in charge of the inner house for many years, and most of the servants in the mansion are probably her spies. If Xie Rou moves to Songheyuan alone, isn't that like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth?

Xie Xiu patted her hand soothingly. "Don't worry, Rou'er has grown up, and her mother-in-law has taught her herself. She knows what to do.

What's more, Songheyuan is not far from Xiaoxiangyuan. Even if Rouer moves there, she can come back often to accompany her younger brothers and sisters.

Yingying and Adi are so young that even if she comes back to visit them every day, no one can find fault with them.

And I promise you, we won't stay in this Xie Mansion for too long. When the time is right, we will move out and live our own lives."

Tu Jiaojiao nodded: "Yes, I believe you."

Because it was late and they were tired from the journey, they talked for a while and then washed up and went to bed.

On the other side, Chen Fang and Bai Yuzhu couldn't fall asleep.

Chen Fang was always worried about her daughter who had eloped. Xie Xiu came to the capital alive and caused a lot of trouble on the first day of his arrival, which made her unable to sleep or eat.

Bai Yuzhu's mind was full of Xu Maochun and today's humiliation, and she was so angry that she almost bit her teeth.

The two tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

It was not until they smelled a refreshing fragrance that they fell into a deep sleep.

Unexpectedly, the two of them had nightmares all night long!

"no, do not want--"

Bai Yuzhu screamed and sat up, her wide eyes filled with panic, and the nightmare just now kept replaying in her mind - Xu Maochun was covered in blood and was hacked to death by someone.

The maid who was sleeping on the footstool and keeping watch was awakened by her. She sat up and looked at her worriedly, asking cautiously, "Young Madam, what's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare?"

Bai Yuzhu finally came to her senses, but her heart was still beating fast and she was so panicked that she was at a loss.

She panted heavily for a few times before asking, "What time is it now?"

"It's already five o'clock in the morning," the maid whispered, then asked, "It's still dark, Madam, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Bai Yuzhu nodded and slowly lay back down, but found that she couldn't fall asleep at all.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she would see Xu Maochun covered in blood.

Chen Fang was also having a hard time.

She dreamed that Xie Jia was raped and died tragically outside, and finally woke up from the nightmare.

But she didn't scream like Bai Yuzhu.

She clutched the quilt tightly, and her well-maintained fingernails scratched shocking marks on the satin embroidered with the words "good fortune and happiness".

I couldn't sleep anymore after that.

Chen Fang lay on the bed, feeling extremely anxious, and her head began to throb with pain.

After learning that Xie Jia had eloped with someone, she was so angry that she became sick.

She asked Bai Yuzhu to act as the housekeeper these days so that she could devote more energy to looking for her daughter.

She had had nightmares many times since Xie Jia eloped, but none as severe as tonight.

Not only did it make her repeat all the nightmares she had before, but the dreams were also extremely real.

She seemed to hear her daughter's screams, and even after waking up, she could still recall the sharp pain of her daughter's nails scratching her arm.

Is such reality really just a dream?

Could it be that her beautiful daughter was really being abused outside?

No, no, no, she can't think like that.

My daughter is blessed and will definitely be safe and sound!

Chen Fang was just comforting herself when a maid came in and said that Bai Yuzhu had come to pay her respects.

She subconsciously glanced at the dark sky outside, then frowned. "It's not even daybreak yet, why is Bai Yuzhu here to greet me?" When did this woman become so proactive?

I'm afraid that coming to pay my respects to her is fake, and the real purpose is to force her to tell me the whereabouts of Xu Maochun!

Chen Fang curled her lips in sarcasm: "Just say I'm not awake yet and ask her to wait outside."

Before he could finish his words, Bai Yuzhu rushed in.

"Isn't mother-in-law awake already?"
