Chapter 37 Stepmother Difficulty 2
"Mother Xin, I think I have treated you well since you entered the house, and I have given Mrs. Hou the respect she deserves." The old lady stared at Tang Xin closely with burning eyes.

If the sharp gaze had been the original owner, he would have been frightened.

It's just a pity that I met Tang Xin.

Tang Xin lowered his head slightly, "My daughter-in-law knows that, so she is grateful to her mother."

"Tell me, what happened today?" Although the old lady loved Xiao Yue, she had to give Tang Xin some face. No matter how she explained, she was Xiao Yue's mother.

A stepmother is also a mother, which is why the old lady did not attack immediately.

Tang Xin did not answer the old lady's words, but instead looked at Xiao Yue, who was leaning in the old lady's arms and glaring at him.

"I don't know what Yue'er said? Why don't you tell me again first, so that I can know if it is different from what I know."

Tang Xin's words made the old lady look at her in surprise.

When she was looking for a stepmother for Xiao Tianxiang, she specifically chose someone with a gentle and easy-to-manage temperament, because she was afraid that the person she would marry would cause hardship to her two grandchildren.

Facts have proved this. Although Xiao Tianxiang disappeared without a trace after getting married, Tang Xin did not complain at all and never dared to interfere in the affairs of the two children.

The old lady is satisfied with this situation. As long as her two grandchildren are not bullied, Tang Xin will not think too much about it, but she still has to get by.

Xiao Yue's anger was immediately aroused when she saw Tang Xin's calm appearance, "It was your fault!"

"What I said is all true. Didn't you hit me?" Xiao Yue's breathing became heavier. Thinking of the few times the woman slapped her on the butt just now, she felt ashamed and angry to death.

What's more, it's in public, with so many maids watching, why should she be so shameless?
Tang Xin sighed softly and did not deny it, "Yes, I did hit you."

As soon as these words came out, not only Xiao Yue was surprised, but also the old lady.

Unexpectedly, Tang Xin actually admitted that she had moved her hands. Is she really going to tear off the mask of hypocrisy?
Xiao Yue always felt that her stepmother must be just pretending, and all her softness was fake.

Look, it's only been a while since I entered the door, and it's exposed.

Tang Xin didn't let them wait too long, and spoke slowly, "Then did you tell your grandmother why I hit you?"

Of course, he didn't say that. Xiao Yue blinked guiltily and pursed her lips in silence.

When the old lady looked at it, she could not tell that Xiao Yue was guilty, but she always loved her children, so she said angrily, "My dear, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There is no need to play riddles here."

"To answer my mother's question," Tang Xin did not beat around the bush, but straight to the point, "The reason why I hit Xiao Yue was because she wanted to push the third sister under the rockery."

"Not only because of this, but also because she has no respect for her superiors and speaks without restraint."

"Mom, Yue'er is already seven years old this year, and she will be a big girl in a few years. If her reputation as a shrewd one spreads out, how will people view the daughter of our Marquis in the future?"

Tang Xin's words were not alarmist at all. You must know that in ancient times, the reputation of a daughter's family was extremely important.

If one daughter in a family loses her reputation, so does the rest.

Everyone will be prosperous if they gain, and everyone will suffer if they lose. This sentence is most vividly expressed in the big family like this in ancient times.

If Xiao Yue's bad reputation spreads, it will definitely have a bad impact on the unmarried daughters of the entire Hou family, and even the married ones will be affected.

No matter how much the old lady loved Xiao Yue, she would not dare to joke about the reputation of the Hou Mansion.

The old lady's face was a little ugly. She looked at Xiao Yue and asked her to dodge her eyes. How could she not know that everything Tang Xin said was true?
The atmosphere in Nian'an Hall was a bit condensed, and Tang Xin spoke lightly again, "I admit that it was my daughter-in-law's fault for beating someone before." "Originally, if she just pushed the third sister, I could just talk to her, but she said Looking at me and asking me what I am?" Tang Xin said this and picked up the handkerchief in her hand and pretended to wipe her tears.

"Mom, stepmothers have been in trouble since ancient times, and I know that."

"From beginning to end, I never dared to ask about the affairs of the two children."

"But what happened today made me realize that if the two of them are allowed to grow like this, it will be our Marquis Mansion that will be the ultimate disaster."

Tang Xin's words made the already silent Nian'antang even quieter.

With a livid face, the old lady slowly let go of Xiao Yue's hand.

"Your Majesty!"

Xiao Yue's face was full of pride, "Did you hear that, grandma asked you to kneel down."

What about the stepmother?It would be better to bow down in front of her mother's memorial tablet.

She is a serious legitimate daughter of the Marquis, so there is no way that a little stepmother like her can do anything.

"I tell you to kneel down!" The old lady's eyes were full of disappointment, "Yue'er, where is your education? Is this what a little girl like you can say? Kneel down!"

Xiao Yue looked at the old lady in astonishment, then at Tang Xin who was sitting there with an expressionless face, and finally knelt down in grievance under the pressure of the old lady.

"Do you know you were wrong?" The old lady looked serious. She didn't expect Xiao Yue to be so temperamental and dare to speak nonsense in front of her.

Xiao Yue bit her lip, with a stubborn look on her face, and she didn't feel at all that she had done anything wrong.

Seeing her like this, how could the old lady not be angry?
If you don't get rid of your disrespect for your elders and discord with your sisters at a young age, as Tang Xin said, if this kind of reputation spreads, it will be difficult for you to get married when you grow up.

"Come here, please help me!" The old lady saw Xiao Yue scratching her neck. She didn't realize her mistake at all, and she was even more angry.

Nanny Wu next to her was startled, "Old madam, this..."

"Go! I can't control you anymore, am I?" The old lady glared, and Nanny Wu quickly lowered her head to apologize, "I don't dare, slave."

Xiao Yue looked at the old lady in disbelief when she heard what she said. What did she just hear?Grandma actually wants to ask for help?

These words were like a bolt from the blue, making her unable to recover for a long time.

After a while, a nun came over with a cane and bowed to the old lady.

Nianantang became quieter and quieter, and the maids even breathed a little lighter.

"Xiao Yue has no respect for his elders and is not friendly to his sisters. Please punish him ten times."

The old lady's expression was very serious, and the words that came out of her mouth shocked everyone present.

A delicate little girl like Xiao Yue might not be able to get out of bed even if she was spanked ten times or even five times.

Aunt Wu looked at the old lady anxiously, intending to plead for mercy, but she was beaten by the old lady just now. She did not dare to speak again for a while, and could only look at Tang Xin with pleading eyes, hoping that she would stop her.

However, Tang Xin lowered her eyes and held the cup in her hand, as if she was studying what kind of tea was in the cup, wishing she could see a flower.
