Chapter 17: Xiao Wan's Growth

Previously, Xiao Wan only mentioned Ji Shumo's talent and knowledge in front of Xiao Yurong, but now, saying so has somewhat worsened Xiao Yurong's impression of Ji Shumo.

She originally thought that Ji Shumo, the number one talented scholar, was a knowledgeable and capable person who could change Xiao Wan. However, on the second day of their marriage, he showed a lack of manners by throwing a tantrum and refusing to return home, which greatly disappointed her.

Xiao Yurong completely understood Xiao Wan's analysis. Seeing that her precious daughter did not let her emotions interfere, Xiao Yurong smiled and couldn't help but praise, "That's right, Wan'er handled it properly. As a mother, I also hope that she can refuse these matters."

"But. . ." Xiao Yurong paused and said tactfully, "If you want to make Shumo jealous, you shouldn't bring other men back to the house. . . and even his father. . ."

Thinking about the rumors outside, where Xiao Wan claimed to be Xie Chuchen's wife and almost went to court with the third miss of the Xu family, Xiao Yurong felt a pang in her heart. She naturally assumed that her daughter's unusual behavior was due to Ji Shumo being greatly wronged, so she deliberately brought other men back to the house to provoke him.

Realizing that her mother misunderstood, Xiao Wan quickly explained, "Mother, it was the people from the Xie family who bullied Xie Chuchen and even sold him to Xu Qing as a husband's servant. I couldn't bear to see it, so I stood up for him. Now, I have handled this matter properly."

"As for the Shen family. . ." Xiao Wan's voice turned serious as she mentioned Shen Shi's blindness, "Xie Qingrong, as a member of the collateral branch, secretly poisoned the legitimate husband of the main branch to seize the family property. I didn't trust them staying in the Xie family, so I took the initiative to bring them back to the house and let Yun Yan treat them."

Xiao Wan was not a particularly kind-hearted person. Her sudden intervention on behalf of Xie Chuchen had already made Xiao Yurong feel strange, and the reason for bringing them back to the house made her furrow her brows.

"If you're worried, why not arrange for them to stay at an inn? Let Yun Yan treat them there. Why bring them back to the house?"

Thinking of Xie Chuchen's bad reputation, Xiao Yurong frowned and added, "Mother had a nightmare yesterday and has been feeling uneasy. Xie Chuchen's intentions for approaching the Xiao family with the jade pendant are still unknown, but it is highly possible that he is infatuated. . ."

"Mother!"

Suddenly, Xiao Wan interrupted Xiao Yurong's speculation with a serious and determined expression on her face, which Xiao Yurong had never seen before. "Xie Chuchen is the person who sincerely cares for me, besides you and Grandfather. That's why I hope that Mother can let go of your prejudices and accept him wholeheartedly. He would never harm the Xiao family."

After saying that, she deeply bowed, her butterfly-like long eyelashes lowered, concealing all the complex emotions in her eyes.

"In this lifetime, I want to protect him and not let him suffer any grievances. I'm willing to sacrifice for him, Mother!"

Xiao Yurong remained silent for a while and asked keenly, "What about Shumo? You didn't mention him just now. Is he not sincere to you?"

Xiao Wan looked up, but didn't respond. However, she was shocked by the words she blurted out anxiously just now.
