Chapter 544 Extra Thank You Banquet (1)
The Marquis's wife asked doubtfully, "Isn't it because our son brought a girl home for the first time?"
"I heard from the servants in the mansion that our Ah Yan said personally that this is the future young lady of the Marquisate."
"Our son has finally come to his senses. As a father, why are you not happy for him but angry?"
As she spoke, the Marquis's wife said in a stern voice, "Could it be that if your son really brought a man back, you would be happy?"
"Oh my..." Xie Chong stamped his feet heavily, beating his chest in anger, "Madam, you don't know, that girl was kidnapped by that bastard!"
"Madam, madam! That bastard—"
"He was wearing an official uniform and he actually raped a woman in broad daylight!"
The Marquis's eyes widened in surprise, and she said in disbelief, "No way! How could our upright and respectable son do such a wicked thing?"
"Why not?!" Xie Chong's face was ashen, and he was extremely angry. "I saw it with my own eyes—that bastard actually dared to ride his horse in the street and rob the bridal sedan of the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion! He even took the bride away!"
"Madam, how can I have the nerve to drink this wedding wine?!"
The Marquis's wife was stunned and said, "Is there such a thing? Are you making this up to deceive me?"
"I've already notified my mother, and I'm afraid she'll be here soon..."
Xie Chong took a deep breath and asked the servant, "Where is the prince now?"
"Bedroom." The servant said truthfully.
Xie Chong suddenly shuddered, his fingers trembling as he asked, "Then...what about the girl he brought back?"
The servant said again: "Bedroom."
Xie Chong stumbled back two steps and asked in disbelief, "Which dormitory?"
"They are all in the prince's bedroom."
After saying this, the servant added, "The prince closed the door and specifically instructed that no one should disturb him."
"what?!"
“Oh my God—”
Xie Chong's eyes suddenly widened, and he instantly became furious. He roared, "This—evil creature!"
"Go, quickly bring this evil creature to me!"
"Come here, use the family rules!"
"I must kill this evil creature today!"
As a result, Xie Zhiyan had just stepped into the main courtyard when he heard a furious roar: "Evil creature! Kneel down!"
Xie Zhiyan walked into the front hall, lifted his robe and knelt down without saying a word.
Then, a "pop" sound was heard...
The whip hit him.
"evil creature!"
"How dare you do something as shameless as kidnapping a bride in the street? Do you still respect the rules and laws?!"
"Do you still take our Xie family's etiquette and upbringing seriously?!"
This ordinary whip is much less powerful than the original nine-section vine whip.
Xie Zhiyan was seen kneeling there without even a frown on his face.
After whipping him several times, Xie Chong finally stopped after being stopped by the Marquis' wife.
The Marquis's wife hurried forward to check her son's injuries. Looking at the bleeding wounds on his body, she glared at her husband angrily.
Xie Chong looked away uncomfortably, looking at his well-dressed son in front of him. He felt relieved, but he still said with a cold face: "Evil creature, don't you have anything to explain?"
Xie Zhiyan's long drooping eyelashes concealed the emotions in his eyes. A faint smile played on his lips as he said coldly, "Father, you were here today, didn't you see everything?"
"My son has nothing to say. You can punish me if you want."
When this was mentioned, Xie Chong was furious. "Are you serious?"
"Of course!"
"How can a marriage granted by the emperor be fake?"
As he finished speaking, Xie Zhiyan raised his head.
However, Xie Chong immediately noticed a red slap mark on his left cheek, with obvious marks.
His eyes widened in anger, and he whipped her again with force: "Did you bully the girl?!"
"If you dare... I... I will beat you to death..." As he said this, he raised the whip again.
"Father!" Xie Zhiyan laughed angrily, "In your eyes, your son is such a bastard?"
Xie Chong sneered, "You snatched the girl away in the street, how could she be any good?"
"What else would you not dare to do?"
Xie Zhiyan had nothing to say.
Xie Chong stared at the slap mark on his face again and again, with a look of scrutiny in his eyes.
This is the first time as a father that I have seen my son suffer a setback since he grew up.
Why do I feel like laughing for some reason while being angry?
So, he coughed lightly a few times and asked calmly, "Since you didn't do anything, what's with the marks on your face?"
"Could it be that he hit himself?"
Xie Zhiyan curled his lips slightly, raised his face, and said boldly: "Have you never heard that beating is affection, scolding is love?"
“Never heard of…”
Xie Chong felt that he was too embarrassed to look at his son in front of him, so he shook his head and said, "You don't mind the pain in your face."
Xie Zhiyan curled his lips in disdain: "Father is old, he naturally doesn't understand the flirting of young people."
He was thinking about Jiang Wantang who was still in the room, so he said directly, "Father, Mother, please prepare your son's wedding as soon as possible. The sooner the better!"
He looked as if he couldn't wait.
Seeing how eager he was, the Marquis' wife finally believed one thing: her son really wanted to get married!
She smiled and said, "Ah Yan, why didn't you tell me earlier that you liked that girl? I could have made all the necessary preparations and proposed marriage on your behalf."
"It's so nice to be so glorious, why would you want to compete with others?"
Xie Zhiyan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Mother, what I like is the best, I have to grab it."
The Marquis's wife was startled, then suddenly smiled: "Okay, okay, what our Ah Yan likes is the best."
At this moment, a hearty laugh came from the courtyard...
"Is our Yan'er really going to get married?!"
Then, an old woman in a dark purple brocade dress appeared in the yard, leaning on a gilded wood cane. Her silver hair was neatly combed, and under her forehead was a nine-phoenix-holding-a-pearl ornament. Her eyes were bright, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were filled with smiles. Her voice was loud.
"Whose girl is this?"
"I heard he's at home. When will you bring him over for Grandma to take a look?"
As the old lady spoke, she strode into the hall with the help of her cane. Her steps were very fast and it was obvious that she was in very good health.
The person who came was the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion.
As the old lady stepped in, she saw her grandson Xie Zhiyan kneeling on the ground with scars on his back. She swung the crutch in her hand and hit her son Xie Chong.
"You little bastard, why are you hitting someone for no reason?!"
"If you want to punish me, why not use other methods?"
"If you hurt someone like this, what if you scare my future granddaughter-in-law?"
