Chapter 181 Every word is precious
Not only did he see his sister being beaten, but she also fell to the ground, completely dizzy and couldn't help but scream.
Then Xu Qinian didn't care about any etiquette, and hurriedly stood up to support his sister.
His movement was like a stone thrown into the water, which caused a thousand ripples. The maids and servants inside and outside the main hall were all in chaos and ran up to support Xu Qingqing.
Seeing this, Yunyu flashed and stood respectfully behind Mu Jiaojiao.
It was as if the chaos in the scene had nothing to do with her, and she was just a spectator of this farce.
Mu Jiaojiao picked up her son who had been standing on the ground for a long time, let her son Zhaozi sit on her lap, leaned lazily on the chair, and admired the different expressions of the people in the main hall.
Mu Jiaojiao saw that Xu Shangyi hurriedly asked the servants to call the palace doctor, and that the loving expression that had been on Old Madam Song's face had disappeared, and she looked cold and calm.
Xu Cinian's face was full of heartache and concern, and he occasionally glanced at Mu Jiaojiao with anger in his eyes.
Afterwards, Xu Shangyi ordered someone to take Xu Qingqing away and have the court doctor treat her properly. Mu Jiaojiao and Jiang Jin saw this but naturally did not stop him.
"Madam Mu, you let your maid act so arrogantly in front of Huaizhi. You don't take my Xu family seriously, but does this mean you don't take your husband, Prince Jin, seriously either?"
When Xu Shangyi saw Xu Qingqing being sent away, he straightened his back and spoke in a majestic tone, which had a bit of the flavor and oppression of a prime minister!
He stood at the bottom of the hall, looking directly at Mu Jiaojiao who was sitting in the hall holding Jiang Mingzhao, with a solemn expression.
"Grandfather, you're joking. Jiaojiao and Ajin are husband and wife. How can you say that you don't take Ajin seriously?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Jiaojiao's posture of leaning lazily on the chair did not change at all, and her tone remained casual.
She looked at Xu Shangyi with a calm and indifferent expression on her face. She was not a real country girl, and Xu Shangyi's threats had no effect on her at all.
It's just a paper tiger, why bother?
"As for the Xu family today, I, Mu Jiaojiao, really don't take it seriously. After all, the Xu family is nothing more than criminals.
If it weren't for my husband's protection, I don't know whether you would be able to come to Cangzhou safely and hide in this Maple Leaf City to live a miserable life!
With the Xu family being like this, they still want to use my husband's kindness to repay him? They still want to control my husband in the name of family? What a joke! "
Mu Jiaojiao's tone suddenly rose when she spoke here, and then a sarcastic smile appeared on her face, as if in her eyes everything the Xu family was doing now was just a big joke to amuse people!
"You..." a little village woman!
"The Xu family's kindness to the late queen was long repaid by the late Crown Prince and A Jin. They have given your family so many years of honor and wealth. It's time for you to have enough!
Besides, you adopted Ajin's mother, and you gained so much benefit later. I think you all know whether you are sincere or fake to her!
So here, I advise you, the Xu family, not to be ignorant of the immensity of the world and not to think that the affection you have for each other can be inexhaustible.
The final result is nothing but self-destruction!"
Xu Shangyi was about to scold Mu Jiaojiao when he was interrupted by her words. She sat up straight, spoke in a sonorous and powerful tone, and brute force tore off the fig leaf that had deceived them for so many years to the Xu family members in the hall.
Mu Jiaojiao was really a little angry. Jiang Jin was his man, and he had been too tolerant and caring towards the Xu family!
She would not allow the Xu family to suck the blood of her man in the name of relatives.
She would not allow these people to disappoint Jiang Jin again and again in the name of relatives.
Jiang Jin never spoke a word from beginning to end. His attitude was that his wife could do whatever she wanted and he would take care of it!
But when he heard Mu Jiaojiao's frank words that were all for his own good, a tenderness flashed in his heart and eyes.
Jiang Jin held Jiang Mingxiao in his arms, stroking the child's head again and again, his expression becoming more and more comfortable and relaxed.
Nothing can affect him now. The Xu family's calculations and hypocrisy seem insignificant in front of his wife.
Anyway, his wife will protect him and pamper him, so he is not afraid of anything now!
After Mu Jiaojiao finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the main hall.
On the other hand, the Xu family, young and old, were all shocked by Mu Jiaojiao's arrogant aura in the hall.
They had never imagined that Mu Jiaojiao, the legendary village woman, could exude majesty and dignity that was no less than that of Prince Jin.
Every word he said was full of wisdom and touched people's hearts, which made the entire Xu family feel ashamed.
When everyone recovered from Mu Jiaojiao's aura, shame and anger appeared on their faces.
What was embarrassing was that they didn't expect that the secret calculations they had thought were hidden for so many years would be exposed nakedly by Mu Jiaojiao, a country woman whom they had never taken seriously.
What made them angry was that Mu Jiaojiao, this woman, actually looked down on their Xu family. What right did she have to look down on them?
They were once the most dazzling family in Yudu, and the children of the family were the most prosperous. What right did Mu Jiaojiao, a country woman, have to do this?
"Huaizhi, have you ever thought so?"
Xu Shangyi's face is now as colorful as a palette. How can he look happy when a woman points at his nose and scolds him for having ulterior motives as he is the prime minister of a country?
Although everything Mu Jiaojiao, the village woman, said was right, it was precisely because it was right that he became even angrier!
So he looked at Jiang Jin who was sitting quietly beside him, and asked with a sad expression.
When Jiang Jin heard Xu Shangyi's question from the hall, he looked at Xu Shangyi quietly without saying a word.
The atmosphere suddenly became weird, and the air felt suffocating.
Xu Shangyi was nervous and uneasy in his heart, but after all, he had been in the court for many years, so he did not show it at all.
"Grandpa!"
After a long while, Jiang Jin finally spoke, with disappointment and other feelings in his voice.
"Jin is not a fool!"
Jiang Jin's last words were a bit emotional. He knew that once he said this, he would not be able to maintain even the superficial relationship with the Xu family.
It has come to this point in the end, but he does not regret it, nor does he blame his wife.
He knew that his wife was sometimes more decisive than him, and what she did was right.
Then he thought, he still has his wife and two sons! He has no regrets.
Jiang Jin's words were neither light nor heavy, but they made Xu Shangyi breathless. His upright body suddenly hunched over, as if all his energy had been drained away.
Mu Jiaojiao and Jiang Jin naturally saw this scene, but there was no emotion in their eyes, because Xu Shangyi was definitely not doing this because of the so-called family affection.
He just felt that the Xu family's future was completely hopeless!
