Chapter 331: Nature is hard to change
Looking at Xu Jinran's sickly appearance, apart from Qin who treats him like a treasure, who else would take a second look at him?
Aunt Hua was already very angry, and was immediately provoked to lose her mind by Qin's words. She rushed forward regardless of anything, pinned Qin to the ground and gave her a good beating.
Qin's servants and Xu Letie originally wanted to help, but were stopped by Princess Ning. Everyone in the yard watched Qin get beaten.
Aunt Hua let out a sigh of relief, and Princess Ning said some nice words, forcing Qin and Xu Letie to apologize to Aunt Hua. She also gave away one of Qin's dowry shops, and only then was the matter settled.
As for the fact that Xu Letie's rules were tested by the old princess herself, it was because Qin couldn't swallow this humiliation after she returned, so she simply paid out of her own pocket and hired someone to teach her again.
As for the matter of Xu Jinran's family being kicked out, it was the old princess who had always been in charge, and Princess Ning had not yet broken off relations with them.
The reason why she stood up so resolutely today was because just now in the room, Yuxiu had handed her the letters from Xu Jinren and his two sons.
There were so many people around that Princess Ning only took a quick glance and then held the stack of letters tightly against her chest.
Very good!
Her husband returned safely, and her sons would be back to her soon. Princess Ning felt that her energy and spirit had returned.
Let alone asking her to go out and deal with Xu Letie at this moment, even if Xu Jinran and the Qin family came back, she would not take them seriously.
When the ladies heard that Xu Letie, a little girl, could have such vicious thoughts, they couldn't help but look at her with dismay. The false accusation against the governess really broadened their horizons.
"I think some people have a vicious nature that cannot be hidden. Even if she was born in a noble place like Prince Ning's Mansion, it cannot change her character."
"Indeed, it is difficult to change one's nature. This is what is said about people like her..."
"Fortunately, God has a good eye and let the real third family come back, otherwise I don't know how big a mess it would cause for Prince Ning's Mansion."
Xu Letie had not expected that even after so long, Princess Ning still brought up things from the past. She felt very embarrassed to be pointed at by others.
No matter what, she was still a little girl in her teens. Tears welled up in her eyes. She looked at Princess Ning pitifully and cried out with sobs:
"Wuwuwu...Aunt..."
"Who is your great aunt?"
Princess Ning would never fall for her tricks. She sneered and scolded him harshly:
"Your family has taken advantage of Prince Ning's Mansion so much, and you still feel like it's not enough? Now that you've been kicked out, you still call me aunt. I don't have a niece as shameless as you."
Seeing that this woman was like a big hen with its feathers standing on end, blocking all the words he wanted to say, Xu Letie felt very resentful. Her eyes rolled around and she secretly pinched Xu Yunxuan's back hard.
“Wow wow wow…Grandma, help us…Please, grandma, let us go back…”
Xu Yunxuan was only a few years old. How could he bear being pinched so hard by his sister? He immediately opened his mouth and started crying loudly, while crying he tried to crawl to find the old princess.
When she was still living in Prince Ning's Mansion, although the old princess always had a grudge against the third house, she still had some love for a child like Xu Yunxuan.
Children know best who is good to them, so at this moment they looked at their grandmother, the old princess, pitifully, and kept clamoring to follow them back to Prince Ning's Mansion.
This was what Xu Letie taught him before she brought him out. Qin and Xu Jinran also explained it to him for a long time, so Xu Yunxuan was also deeply impressed. When he was pinched by his sister like that, he immediately knew what to do.
Although the old princess couldn't bear to see Xu Yunxuan crying, she didn't want to give Xu Letie's family any hope, so she turned her head away and didn't look at them.
"Before, I said that your personality is very similar to that of your grandmother's family, but I didn't have any evidence. Now, you've presented the evidence to everyone."
Princess Ning didn't care about that. Although Xu Letie's action just now was covert, she had been secretly guarding against her, and she saw it very clearly.
He immediately called Mother Qiu to come forward, pick up Xu Lexuan, and in front of everyone, lifted the clothes on his back. Sure enough, he found a black and bloody mark on his back caused by being pinched.
"Your brother was wearing such thick clothes, but you were able to pinch him like this. This shows how cruel you are as a sister. You can be so cruel to your own brother."
Princess Ning was a person who acted prudently. Not only did she examine him herself, she also asked Mother Qiu to carry Xu Yunxuan and take him to the ladies and young ladies present, as well as the men standing a little further away, to have a look.
Looking at the mark on Xu Yunxuan's back, everyone couldn't help but gasp and pointed at Xu Ledie with disdain.
"What a cruel girl..."
"Poor child, how could he be stuck with such a family?"
"It's a good thing I didn't choose her as my daughter-in-law at that time, otherwise we, old bones, would not be able to withstand her torture..."
Faced with this ironclad fact, even though Xu Letie had a clever mind, she didn't know how to argue. Under everyone's accusations, her face changed from red to blue, which looked very exciting.
"This girl is so cruel, the child cannot be handed over to her."
The old princess sighed softly and asked Nanny Lin to personally take people to send the brother and sister back to their current residence.
"The old princess is kind-hearted. She still considers that family even at this time."
Someone sighed and said that Xu Letie had lived in Prince Ning's Mansion for so many years, but had not learned a single thing from the old princess, and had only come up with some crooked ways.
"After all, we watched her grow up, and we couldn't bear to see her go astray, but she just wouldn't listen."
The old princess sighed and said helplessly:
"Forget it. I am no longer her elder. If I continue to preach, it will only annoy her. I will just let things take their own course from now on."
As an old lady, she didn't want to say bad things about a little girl in front of so many people if possible. But Xu Letie was so ignorant that she had to come over and force her to slap her in the face on such a beautiful day.
Everyone thought that the old princess was also very upset, and quickly said something to comfort her.
The excitement was over. It was getting late, so everyone said goodbye. The servants from each mansion also came in carriages and took their masters away.
After everyone had left, the group from Prince Ning's Mansion returned to Xu's house and sat down again.
"You said that you were not at home these days. You did not live in the manor at all, but followed your master to the border?"
The old princess opened the envelope with trembling hands and found that the handwriting on it was indeed written by her eldest son.
