Xie Zhinuan heard the words, her heart indescribable.
Very few people ever said to her, “I will protect you!”
To say she wasn’t tempted to react would be a lie.
But she didn’t need anyone’s protection.
She placed Xie Yi in Xie Rong’s arms.
Lady Yuan opened her mouth again, “So you’ve taken up with some bastard!”
“…”
Xie Rong was about to speak.
Xie Zhinuan stretched out her hand to stop him.
Seeing this, Lady Yuan, seeing that Zhinuan did not retaliate, became even more brazen.
That day she came to scold and was slapped several times by an old maid.
She didn’t believe Zhinuan dared to hit her.
“You really have no shame, raising a bastard man and having an illegitimate child, this wild brat…”
Xie Zhinuan stepped forward, raised her hand, and harshly slapped Lady Yuan, her voice heavy, “People are despicable, and invite contempt; I’ve wanted to hit you for a long time!”
A woman, short-sighted, spiteful, and selfish.

Yet she was fortunate to have married a decent man like Yuan Cheng and to have such a fine son as Yuan Wang.If she had behaved herself, she would have had a decent future, but instead, she was full of malice and conceit, hateful and detestable.
“You, you hit me!” Lady Yuan stuttered out loud.
In disbelief, she stared at Zhinuan.
“Yes, I hit you. You’re of an age to be a grandmother, yet you speak without thinking, spewing filth and breeding maggots with your mouth, disgustingly sickening!”
“…”
“…”
Lady Yuan never imagined that Zhinuan, when she scolded someone, could be so articulate.
Every word stabbed at her heart and lungs.
And she cursed with a venom surpassing that of the shrews in the village.
“You, you…”
“What about you? If you had any self-respect, you wouldn’t have shown up at my doorstep, asking to be scolded. If I didn’t scold you, I would be failing you. If I were you, I wouldn’t be standing here making a fool of myself; I’d cover my face, go home, lock my doors, and look in the mirror to reflect on my own morality. You’ve not only lost your dignity but have also tarnished your son’s reputation!” Zhinuan finished.
She glanced at Lady Yuan’s face, swollen like a steamed bun, and realized she hadn’t anticipated striking her so hard.
Lady Yuan trembled with rage.
Yuan Wang came forward and gripped her arm tightly, “Mother!”
Yuan Wang spoke with a stern voice.
His eyes were filled with warning.
“Yuan Wang, you came just at the right time, she hit me, she hit your mother!” Lady Yuan cried out.
Yuan Wang glanced at her, his brow furrowed deeply.
His heart was torn between sympathy, embarrassment, and anger.
He looked towards Zhinuan.
Zhinuan also looked back at him.
“Miss Xie, I apologize, I will take my mother away now, and she won’t come here to make trouble again!”
“Hmm!” Zhinuan nodded.
She just felt Lady Yuan was becoming more and more despicable.
When she had first met her, she still had the dignity of a lady of the house, speaking and acting with propriety. But now, full of hatred, she had humiliated herself to the point of being contemptible.
If Yuan Cheng had taken concubines and Azhu had the chance to climb into his bed, wasn’t it her own doing?
Lady Yuan refused to leave, but Yuan Wang dragged her away, forcibly taking her with him.
Only then did Zhinuan turn to look at Xie Rong.
Xie Rong was dumbstruck, whispering, “You’re really fierce when you scold people!”
Her entire demeanor was so sharp and commanding it was almost unbearable to look at, not a trace of tenderness to be seen.
“I seldom scold people, and I don’t want to, but she was too offensive!”
A few harsh words might be enough for her to let it go.
But they should not have insulted Xie Yi.
Xie Yi was adopted and would be very sensitive as he grew up. If he was insulted like that and she did nothing about it, Xie Yi would be heartbroken and might end up on the wrong path.
Therefore, anyone who called Xie Yi a bastard, she would never let it slide.
A slap was the least she could do.
