I was switched at birth after transmigrating into a book, but I used my superpowers to wreak havoc!

Chapter 171 Reveals the Truth Behind Luo Sheng's Tragic Death

The expressions of everyone present changed immediately, and they looked at Chen Fang and the other two with extreme disdain.

Thinking of Xie Yi's daily food, clothing and other expenses, and then looking at the three people wearing silk, satin, pearls, jade and gems, everyone felt more and more disdainful.

Even though I didn't know Tu Yong, he was tall and mighty, with a righteous face, and his words were righteous and eloquent, which naturally convinced people.

What's more, the three members of the Xie family never dared to refute, which meant that this person was not wrong.

What they have spent over the years is indeed Xie Xiu’s biological mother’s dowry!

Since it was his biological mother's dowry, and she provided him with the best food, clothing and other necessities, shouldn't he share his share?

But now Chen Fang says that she is being good to Xie Xiu, how shameless!

There is also Xie Yun. When he married his wife, he didn't know how much dowry she had.

But doesn’t he know how much property his family has?

Later, his wife died in childbirth, and he took care of the funeral. Did he never count his wife's dowry?

As the top scholar in the imperial examination and a Hanlin scholar, how could he not know whose money he had been spending all these years?

But Chen Fang had just accused Xie Xiu, but he didn't stop her. Wasn't he condoning his second wife bullying his eldest son?

There is also Xie Yi, who is already twenty-one years old this year and passed the imperial examination at such a young age.

He used to act like a gentleman, but it turns out he's a hypocritical scoundrel! What a villain!

In the past, Xie Xiu was wandering outside and no one knew whether he was alive or dead. They thought that Xie Xiu had died outside and occupied his yard.

Now we know that Xie Xiu is still alive and has returned to the capital.

As a younger brother, how could he still have the nerve to continue occupying his eldest brother's yard and let his eldest brother and his wife live in a dilapidated yard?

It’s such a waste of all the time I’ve spent reading sage books for so many years!

Unfilial and unbrotherly!

The more disdainful the crowd looked at them, the more uncomfortable Xie Yun, Xie Yi and Chen Fang felt.

Unfortunately, the one who exposed them was neither Xie Xiu nor Tu Jiaojiao, but Tu Yong!

They could accuse Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao of being unfilial, disobedient and slandering their elders, but they could not accuse Tu Yong in the same way!

Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable to her side, Chen Fang covered her chest and tried to pretend to faint: "You...you are simply slandering me..."

She was about to pretend to faint when Tu Yong spoke up first, "Why, you know the evidence is irrefutable and you can't deceive the world with sophistry, so you want to pretend to faint?"

Chen Fang immediately spit out a mouthful of blood, and looked at Tu Yong with murderous eyes: "!!!"

She couldn't even help but blame Xu Maochun in her heart.

If Xu Maochun had not been useless, failed and been captured, how could these people have come to the capital alive and stood here to cause trouble for her?

However, Tu Yong has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, so how could he be so sensitive to killing intent?

He sensed the murderous intent in Chen Fang's eyes and immediately asked, "Why, you want to kill me? We were attacked by bandits before. Could it be that you ordered Xu Maochun to do it?"

How could Chen Fang care about pretending to be faint now?

She quickly denied it: "Don't slander me! I'm just angry that you slandered us, not that I wanted to kill you."

After she finished speaking, her eyes became wet and she looked at Xie Yun tearfully: "Master, you should divorce me. I can't continue to be your stepmother."

She smiled bitterly through her tears. "My nanny used to tell me that being a stepmother is hard and that you're likely to be blamed. But I was stubborn and refused to believe it. I thought that as long as I treated others sincerely, no one would find fault with me."

Now I know that when others want to find fault with you, they always find ways to do so. It was my fault for not taking good care of Xiu'er, leaving him stranded for so many years that he resents me to this extent..."

She didn't dare to refute Tu Yong, nor could she explain where the money she had spent over the years came from. She simply insisted that it was Xie Xiu who resented her as his stepmother.

In this case, Tu Yong, as his father-in-law, would naturally say something biased and unreliable.

Unfortunately, Xie Xiu had been well prepared for this attack and had been planning it for many days, and had already thought of all the countermeasures.

How could it be easily overturned by the few words she hastily came up with in a panic?

When she mentioned the wet nurse, Xie Xiu said quietly, "My stepmother did have a good wet nurse. She was devoted to me, even risking my mother's life."

These words were like a thunderclap, shocking everyone present and making their faces change drastically.

Even Xie Yun didn't bother to pretend to be dumb and shouted sternly: "Xiu'er, this is a matter of life and death, you can't talk nonsense!"

"Don't worry, father. With so many people here, how dare I say such nonsense? I dare not slander you."

Xie Xiu spoke weakly, coughing several times before continuing, "Although I was young back then, I heard the midwife say with my own ears that my mother had a difficult labor and the baby was too big to be born. If we cut open her belly, the baby might still survive. Otherwise, if we delay any further, there will only be one corpse and two lives... cough cough..."

He coughed painfully several times, then continued, "I saw with my own eyes that the midwife cut open my mother's belly with a knife and took my younger brother out of her belly...

Mother's blood was everywhere, but she had a cold expression, looking at her mother mockingly, and saying... saying that mother should never, ever block her young lady's way...

She also said that if her mother wanted to hate someone, she should hate herself for being blind and marrying the wrong person. A man as outstanding as her father was not something a merchant's mistress could dream of...

The funny thing is, she wasn't a midwife at all, but my stepmother's good wet nurse! Unfortunately, I was so frightened when I saw my mother's tragic death that I forgot that memory after waking up.

It wasn’t until I fell into the water this time that I remembered everything…”

At the end, he looked at Xie Yun and asked weakly, "Father, do you think she is right? Is it because mother is blind and married the wrong person?

If she had not married you, she would not have been an eyesore to others, blocked other people's way, and had her belly cut open and bled to death.

She gave so much for you, yet ended up with a tragic death. But Father can't forget Mother, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have secretly kept Concubine Qu away from home.

She is 70% similar to my mother, born with a beautiful and dignified appearance and a gentle temperament. When my father saw her, did he also think of my mother who died tragically in the delivery room that year?"

Xie Xiu's words were simply meant to hurt Xie Yun and Chen Fang!
