Chapter 164: Chapter 164 Decisiveness
Translator: 549690339
Chancellor Xie didn’t want to be a real unfiliai son and anger Old Lady, so he tucked his tail between his legs and returned to his room with Madam Wang.
The two of them were mumbling along the way, and no one could figure out what kind of meal Madam Yuan had eaten that had damaged her brain. It had already become a rule for her to marry her son. In the past, it wasn’t that there hadn’t been any descendants of aristocratic families who had married the daughters of poor families, but all of them had had bad endings. There were even some who had been demoted to official positions, and there were even some who had been cut off from their families and moved far away.
No aristocratic family would accept a marriage with a Humble Class.
When the Yuan family and the Xiao family got married, it could be said that it caused a sensation in the entire Jiankang aristocratic family and became a public laughing stock.
Most people would say that the Xiao Family had climbed up a high branch, but the aristocratic families would only laugh at the Yuan Family for falling in rank.
At that time, Chancellor Xie had made fun of the Yuan Family, but who knew that retribution would come now. His sister-in-law’s brain was fried, and she actually chose another lowly commoner family to seek kinship, and it was the same Xiao Family as the Yuan Family!
How could their Xie Clan be compared to the Yuan Clan?
This time, not only did he not have to compete, he had to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Yuan family and hold hands with the Xiao family.
“Is it true? Is sister-in-law really going to settle down with the Xiao family?”
When Chancellor Xie returned to his room, his butt hadn’t even warmed up when the second son of the Xie family came to the door. He was elegant and steady, looking more composed than Chancellor Xie. But this matter still spread to Chancellor Xie after he heard the news, and then Chancellor Xie exploded.
Second Master Xie was the son of a concubine in the Crown Prince’s family. He was an official under the Crown Prince. He was like an attendant beside the Emperor, correcting the Crown Prince’s mistakes and admonishing him.
“That’s right, you don’t even let me hear your eloquent words and insist on saying it to Mother alone. Who did she think she was to abuse the Xie family’s existence?!”Chancellor Xie was still fuming when he said this.
“No matter what the reason is, you can’t marry someone from a poor family like the Xiao Family. I think the Yuan Family’s brains are all damaged. It’s also not normal for Xie Xian to possess the bloodline of the Yuan Family. What kind of poor family does he favor? What kind of background does he have?” “Fortunately, you told me. Otherwise, if I went out, 1 wouldn’t even know that 1 was being laughed at. Second Brother, this is a big matter for our Xie family. We have to work together. We can’t let a woman like sister-in-law embarrass our Xie family.”
Second Master Xie muttered,”I’m afraid that Mother’s place…” It’s hard to say, you know-”
“I know.” Chancellor Xie snorted coldly,” She has always been biased towards the eldest branch. But this time, it’s not a matter of favoritism. This is a huge matter for our Xie family. We can’t let them close their doors.”
“But if mother insists on her own way, we can’t go against mother.”Second Master Xie stroked his beard and sighed.” We can’t possibly have to trouble the Clan Leader to come forward for the marriage of our own juniors-”
“Why not?” Chancellor Xie slapped the table. This was a move. He was a son, so he didn’t dare to disobey his mother. However, the marriage with the Humble Class was related to the Xie Clan, so it was only natural for the Patriarch to step in.
It was better than letting the two women torment the Xie family until they became a laughing stock.
“Second brother, this time you must suppress the marriage with the Xiao family together with me. Otherwise, our Xie family’s reputation will be ruined!”
Second Master Xie nodded repeatedly.” 1 definitely won’t let Third Brother fight alone. This is a big matter for the Xie family. I definitely won’t sit idly by.
Actually, I don’t want the Xie family to be reduced to a poor family like the Xiao family. Otherwise, 1 wouldn’t have discussed it with you the moment I heard the news.
Chancellor Xie frowned,”It’s best to suppress Mother’s side, otherwise…” There’s still trouble.”

“Tell me, how did you decide on the Xiao family?”
After beating everyone clean, Old Madam Xie sat high up on the couch and looked at her daughter-in-law who suddenly knelt on the ground. The anger that was stirred up by Chancellor Xie had long been dispersed by him personally, so she calmed down at this time.
Madam Yuan’s daughter-in-law was chosen by her son himself. Initially, she did not like her. As a mother-in-law, this daughter-in-law was too cold and did not have any warmth for anyone.
However, no matter how much she disliked him, she would still marry him into the family. She did not make things difficult for him.
After spending decades together, she could see clearly what kind of people they were. They might be cold, but their hearts were warm. They were better than the Liu family, who was passionate and calculating, and who did not suffer any losses. They were also better than the Wang family, who was kind on the outside and ruthless on the inside.
Especially after the eldest son passed away, Yuan Shi’s grief could not be faked. The husband and wife were deeply in love. If it were not for the concern of their son and daughter, they would have died with their son.
After the death of the eldest son, the eldest daughter-in-law’s heart was on her children. Old Madam Xie believed that Madam Yuan was not the kind of person who would cheat her son, so she would not make this decision rashly.
“Mother, do you know that All Lang and his daughter-in-law said that they would rather not marry for the rest of their lives than to drag down other wives?”When Mrs. Yuan thought of her son’s nonchalant expression when he said that, her heart ached to the extreme.
When Xie Shi Zhong was still around, Xie Xian had already slowly told Old Xie Furen about his repeated failed attempts to marry Eldest Lady Xiao.
After Xiao Qi, Xie Xian secretly helped Lady Xiao in her actions. Anyone who offended Lady Xiao and ruined her reputation, he would openly and secretly use the Emperor to deal with them.
Others might not think so, but she was Xie Xian’s mother, so she could see through her son’s intentions even if she put together all the pieces.
In the beginning, she also thought that he might just be confused for a moment and would naturally fade away after a long time. It was better for her son to be matched with a noble daughter.
However, time only deepened Xie Xian’s determination. Regardless of what kind of noble lady she or Old Madam Xie wanted to see, as long as he knew of this intention, he would have already rejected it.
“.. He didn’t want to marry Lady Xiao at all. When he said that he didn’t want to implicate others, it wasn’t an excuse. He really thought so and did so.”
At this point, Madam Yuan was already sobbing.
“All Lang is afraid that his life will be as short as his father’s and that he won’t be able to protect his wife and children, so he would rather not get married. I’ll guard the person in my heart for the rest of my life. I’ll only watch from afar and protect her. I’ll protect her as long as I can…”
“Mother, do you know how much my heart hurts when 1 understand his thoughts?”
“I even replaced him… Not to mention marrying a little girl from a poor family, even if it meant taking my life, as long as my son can be happy in his lifetime and get what he wants, I’m willing!”
“It’s okay if Third Uncle scolds me. I know that others can’t accept this, but 1 still have to do it. Just treat it as me being unfiliai. Even if you want to kick me out of the Xie family, I’m willing!”
After saying this, Madam Yuan stopped crying in the room. She only silently cried, her brows firm and determined.
It could be seen that she was not retreating in order to advance. She really planned to do so.
Old Madam Xie’s tears rolled around her eyes, but they did not fall in the end.
From her husband to her son, all the tears she had shed for the rest of her life were almost gone. She did not want to cry for her grandson anymore.
Her husband had died at the age of thirty-five. At that time, her eldest son was two years younger than her grandson, but they had survived. The eldest son had lived up to his expectations and shone brilliantly in the court, bringing the Xie family’s eldest son back to the center of power.
Unfortunately, when her eldest son died at the age of 35, she had to send him off, and she had to stab a knife in her heart.
She was willing to pay any price if she could get her eldest son back. If she could make her eldest son happy and healthy in his lifetime, she was still willing to pay any price.
If there was anyone in this world who could understand Madam Yuan’s feelings at this moment, it would be Old Madam Xie.
She was in even more pain than Mrs. Yuan. Not only did she lose her husband, but she also lost her son..
