C14 I Don't Know It's a Tough Guy

Xie Zihan knew that his mother had doted on Xie Ningqian, and this was probably the 'perjury' that his mother had deliberately sought out to get rid of Xie Ningqian. However, due to his love for the matriarch, he had unwillingly taken up a piece of paper in front of everyone, and as the words in his hand slipped past his eyes, Xie Zihan's expression grew more and more unsightly.

When Xie Ruoyun saw the paper dragonfly she had scattered for Murong Yuan under Xie Leyao's orders this morning, she immediately felt reassured and content. Xie Ningqian, just you wait and see!

"Ruoyun, you've disappointed me so much!" After Xie Zihan finished speaking, he said to the matriarch, "Mother, your son is in the wrong. Since your son still has matters to attend to, let your mother handle this matter!"

Following that, Xie Zihan snorted coldly at Madame Bai and Xie Ruoyun, and then left with a flick of his sleeve.

She had frightened Madame Bai and Xie Ruoyun so much that they didn't know what was going on, especially Xie Ruoyun. Why did her father, Xie Zihan, behave like this when he saw this Dragonfly? She really wanted to ask Xie Zihan about it, but since the matriarch was here, they didn't dare to leave without her permission. They could only stand on the spot with a pale face.

After seeing that Xie Zihan had left, Matriarch He reached out to help him up, saying with a pained heart, "Little girl Qian, Grandmother came late. I've caused you so much suffering."

When Xie Ningqian heard this, she gratefully said, "Grandmother, I didn't feel wronged. Didn't you come!"

In this world, only her grandmother would truly care for her. Just like in her previous life, even if she didn't bring glory to the Xie family and married Prince Xian, her grandmother would still instruct Xie Zihan to help Murong Yuan.

Matriarch He patted Xie Ningqian's head and said, "Silly child, why didn't you call someone over earlier to tell Grandmother?"

Xie Ningqian smiled at Matriarch He. "Qian`er knew Grandmother would come to save Qian`er, but you came right when Qian`er was thinking about you."

When Matriarch He heard this, she lightly patted the back of Xie Ningqian's right hand and amiably said, "I still feel wronged." The stately young mistress of the Duke's Mansion was being punished by her father and stepmother. Moreover, she could only look forward to this old woman coming to save her. How desolate was that!

The Bai Clan saw that Matriarch He's pampering of Xie Ningqian was extremely uncomfortable. This was a good opportunity to punish her, so why did Master suddenly leave? Xie Zihan let Xie Ningqian off just like that. She definitely couldn't let Xie Ningqian go like this, otherwise, how could she carry out his plans to spread the news of Xie Ningqian framing his concubine? How could she create Xie Ningqian's notoriety!

After thinking about it, Madame Bai immediately gave Xie Ruoyun a pinch, then whispered in her ear: "Ruoyun, hurry and cry out to the matriarch about your grievances. Leave everything to me."

After Mrs Bai had pinched Xie Ruoyun, tears welled up in her eyes again. She immediately said to the matriarch: "Grandmother, Second Big Sister wronged Ruoyun, I'm begging Grandmother to redress Ruoyun's grievances!"

When Matriarch Xie saw the situation, she was left speechless. This Xie Ruoyun had really underestimated her, thought that she was timid and weak, was it not surprising that she was also a ruthless character. She had done such shameless things, yet she had dared to proclaim them so loudly, thinking that her old lady's method of settling matters peacefully for the sake of her family and her family wouldn't punish her?

Seeing that the matriarch was only looking coldly at Xie Ruoyun, and did not intend to seek justice for her, Mrs Bai thought that the matriarch was doing it for Xie Ningqian, so she immediately added: "Matriarch, Ruoyun has always been timid. She definitely wouldn't do something so shameful like this. Please uphold justice for Ruoyun, and give her justice as well."

"This old woman still doesn't know what the Bai clan is scheming." The matriarch didn't even look at the Bai clan, but turned to Caiyun's aunt, who was holding a paper dragonfly, and said, "Pour this paper dragonfly in front of the two of them and let them have a good look."

Hearing this, Caiyun felt that her actions were a little disrespectful towards the matriarch, but the matriarch had ordered it so. Although Caiyun had been by the matriarch's side for nearly 30 years, she didn't dare to disobey the matriarch's orders and forcefully poured the paper dragonfly in front of the Bai clan and Xie Ruoyun.

Mrs. Bai didn't understand why the matriarch was so angry, so she obediently squatted down and picked up a few pieces of paper. On the paper, love poems were written by Junior Yun and Yuan Lang, and upon seeing this, she turned pale with fright.

She spoke to Xie Ruoyun, who was sitting by the side and not squatting down to pick up the note: "Ruoyun, you've disappointed me so much." As she bowed, she said, "Matriarch, Matriarch Bai must have made a mistake. Matriarch, please punish her."

This made Xie Ruoyun even more confused. She didn't understand why both her father and Madame Bai would change their attitudes after reading the words on the Dragonfly. This Dragonfly was clearly Murong Yuan's love for Xie Ningqian! He could only bend down and pick up the piece of paper from the floor.

When the eye-catching "Sister Yun" and "Yuan Lang" on the note entered her eyes, Xie Ruoyun was completely shocked. She had clearly seen Murong Yuan write the note without such a head and signature, but how could it be like this now! For a moment, he couldn't say a single word. All he could do was stand there in a daze.

Seeing the situation, Matriarch He said indifferently, "Ruoyun, you saw it clearly, do you know that you're mistaken?"

Seeing that Xie Ruoyun was still standing motionlessly like a wooden block, the matriarch said to Madame Bai by her side: "Mrs Bai, this gold coin scholar, Murong Yuan, is originally a Humble Class student. Although he's a high school scholar now, it's not inappropriate for him to marry the daughter of the Duke, so I'll leave this matter to you!"

Hearing this, Bai Yi silently said, "Yes," and left with his men, leaving Xie Ruoyun standing there in a daze.

In the end, she was still his daughter. Even if Xie Ruoyun wasn't her, Matriarch He had to make plans for her. Now that so many people had seen this, the only way to deal with it was for her to marry Murong Yuan.

When Xie Ningqian heard this, a plan formed in her mind. Although her objective had been achieved, and the matter of her marrying Murong Yuan was no longer possible, she could not allow her enemy to live such an easy life. In her previous life, wasn't Xie Ruoyun happy and happy when she married Murong Yuan? And Murong Yuan was also very happy?

In this life, I, Xie Ningqian, will still let all of you "tie the knot". As Xie Ruoyun's older sister and Murong Yuan's wife from the previous life, I, Xie Ningqian, should prepare a great gift for all of you. As Xie Ningqian thought of this, the corner of her mouth lifted into a curve that no one could detect.

Seeing that Xie Ruoyun was still in a daze, the matriarch spoke kindly despite her anger: "Ruoyun, hurry and go back to your own courtyard!"
