Chapter 344 What is given to you can also be taken back

In the old lady's warm pavilion, the ground dragon was burning brightly, and the heat was flowing but not stuffy.

The wintersweet in the corner has not withered yet, and still sends out a fragrant fragrance.

Xi Lanting sat on the Taishi chair, took a few sips of tea, and looked indifferent.

The old lady sat on the other side and sighed: "Wenjie is not very nice. Your elder brother scolded her today..."

"It's just that my mind has gone wrong." Xi Lanting took a sip of tea, the fragrance of tea filled his lips and teeth. His expression was lazy and indifferent, "This tree is not growing well, so just cut it down."

The old lady was frightened when she heard this.

There was no one around, and she didn't hide her fright. She almost begged: "Old ancestor, she is of Xi family blood after all. The eldest son and his wife love this child very much because the heirs are not prosperous."

"The pain is too much." Xi Lanting blew the floating leaves in the tea cup slowly, "On the first day Yun Qiao came, I told you that he was my person."

Old lady: "Yes, I also asked the servant to tell her that Wenjie has never suffered and has neglected to teach her. No matter how she is punished, our ancestors will leave her alive."

Xi Lanting's reaction was neither salty nor mild.

"Suyi." He suddenly called the old lady by her given name.

The old lady's slightly stiff back suddenly became rickety, as if it had been bent by the years: "Old ancestor."

"I have known you since you were five years old. At that time, I promised you that I will take care of your prosperity and honor for the rest of your life. Sixty-five years have passed, are you satisfied with your life?" Xi Lanting asked.

The old lady of the Xi family's maiden name was Wen Suyi. Since she was five years old, her natal family has been promoted step by step, and she has become a young lady from a high-ranking official family.

She married into the Xi family and was well matched.

The imperial court fell into decline and disappeared step by step, but the Xi family remained wealthy forever. Everyone said that the Xi family and the Wen family's ancestral tombs had good feng shui, and the houses and families were prosperous.

No one knows the truth.

"I'm very satisfied, ancestor." Wen Suyi said, "Everything goes according to my wishes. Except for the eldest son and no grandchildren, I don't have any regrets."

"Then, as my ancestor, have I lived up to your worship?"

"No, our ancestors have always been very kind to me and my children and grandchildren." The old lady added, "It's all you who are doing the hard work."

"As long as you understand. Suyi, what our ancestors can give you can also be taken back." Xi Lanting took another sip of tea.

The old lady shuddered.

Her hands were shaking involuntarily.

"Ancestor, what should I do?" She, who was nearly seventy years old, looked like that five-year-old girl again, looking at Xi Lanting with wide innocent eyes.

But these eyes were already dim and cloudy.

Xi Lanting finally put down the tea cup: "Yun Qiao begged me for mercy. I am not unreasonable and insist on making you sad. A small punishment but a big warning. Send Wenjie abroad and don't let me see her again."

When the old lady heard this, her spirits relaxed, and her stooped back seemed to straighten a lot.

"Thank you, ancestor, thank you very much," the old lady said.

Xi Lanting stood up and called her mother with a smile: "You go to bed early, my son will go back first."

Old lady: "..."

She took a moment to collect herself, and became the kind and kind old lady of the Xi family again. She told her youngest son, "The road is slippery, so walk slowly."

Xi Lanting responded and went out.

Early the next morning, on the first cruise ship departing from Yancheng Pier for Hong Kong, Xi Wenjie was held down by two adjutants and was still crying.

Her father arranged for her to study in the United States.

She was injured, beaten, and actually wanted to be sent away. If word of this spread, she will lose her face for the rest of her life.

Xi Wenjie refused.

But the adjutants were unselfish.

The news spread throughout the Xi Mansion through the mouths of the servants in the kitchen during breakfast.

Everyone's first thought is absurd.

"Why is the Governor's Mansion so flattering to Yun Qiao?" For a time, this matter became everyone's doubt.
