Jiang Yuan was stunned when he heard this: "Isn't Xie Man my sister? Yang Geng is five years old, isn't she also a child?"
"Yeah, he's only three years old."
"It's worse than an animal!"
Although Jiang Yuan has always heard people say that Yang Xing and his son have bad conduct, she has only been in contact with them for a few days, and it turns out that what she knows is just the tip of the iceberg.
No wonder the Xie family has so much ill will toward Mrs. Yang.
"Mrs. Xie thought that Mrs. Yang was trying to retaliate against her. When Xie Man was found, his body was covered in blood. There were many guests at the banquet, so this matter was not considered a secret."
"Then the relationship between Xie He and Mrs. Yang seems to be good?"
"That's because once, Mrs. Yang saved Xie He and almost died. Xie He always remembered it. Besides, if it hadn't been for his sister, Mrs. Yang would have been really good to him."
Jiang Yuan sighed, no wonder Mrs. Yang wanted to die.
She must have been tortured by this matter for many years. Only when Yang Xing and her own son were arrested could she be freed.

Because we started very late, the carriage didn't arrive in Dingyuan County until midnight the next day.
It was Mu Er who opened the door. Tian was pretending to be worried about why the two of them hadn't returned yet.
When I heard the sound, I put on my clothes and got up.
Wu and Yuening also stood up when they heard the voices.
When they saw the two people coming back, they all asked how the exam went.
Fu Jiu only said that he would not know until the results are released.
However, they didn't talk for long. They only asked the two of them to wash up and then quickly went to bed.
Shitou slept with Mr. Tian during this period. He was a heavy sleeper, so he didn't wake up even if there was such a big movement in the yard.
The next morning, when he got up and went out in a daze, he saw people rushing in and out of the kitchen, and he rubbed his eyes vigorously.
"Mother!"
Shitou ran over quickly and hugged Jiang Yuan's leg tightly.
"Mother, when did you come back?"
"It was last night." Jiang Yuan knelt down and hugged him too.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"But you fell asleep."
"It's because I fell asleep that you told me that I can't see my mother, I can't eat well, and I can't sleep well. I'm thinking about my mother all the time in my dreams!"
"Okay, it's my fault. I will tell you later. You go and play first, and my mother will cook for you later."
"okay!"
Shitou walked out of the room and quickly headed towards the east chamber. When he entered the room, he saw that Fu Jiu was not there, but the old man had a pout.
He lowered his head and walked around in the yard. Mu Er was fetching water. Seeing his appearance, he said, "Your father went to the academy early in the morning and should be back in the morning."
"I'm not in a hurry to see him!"
"Yes, you are not in a hurry. No one said you were in a hurry." Mu Er smiled, and Shitou was so angry that he walked to the door with his hands behind his back.
Shang Sandao was still in charge of the butcher shop today. Seeing him poking his head, I couldn't help but ask: "Young master, are you looking for someone?"
"Ah? No, I'm looking for Xiaobai!"
The stone shook its head and went back.
But after a while, he came out again, glanced at the street a few times, and then went back as if nothing had happened.
He had eaten breakfast and couldn't help it.
Now Jiang Yuan himself came to the butcher shop.
"You're not going to Jiang's house today?"
"You have a rest today, you don't have to go!"
"Then you go play in the yard. There are many people on the street, so don't rush into you for a while."
"oh."
Shitou nodded and saw a carriage coming this way.
His eyes became brighter, and when he saw Fu Jiu get off the carriage, he raised his head, blinked and waited.
Fu Jiu said a few words to Jiang Yuan at the butcher shop, and then entered the courtyard.
