692 Blame Me
Zhao Wei had just taken a step ahead when Darren stood before. His expressions weren't right. He really was in a dilemma but he still said, "I respect you a lot. Please, don't make me do something I don't want to."
He really wanted to stop Xiu and didn't want to do it either. His heart was conflicted. He wanted to stop Xiu because of her health but he also wanted her to continue because he wanted her to stand for herself. But it was true torture for him to see Xiu's behavior. She didn't just lose her reason, he could see she was pouring all the grievance she had in her heart for two lifetimes.

Dylan turned his head around when he heard his sister's scream. Xiu was now pulling her hair again as she brought her before the table where the Xin Family's elders were sitting. While the Father and Mother Xin were looking at this drama with grave expressions, one person was too leisurely. historical
Xin Zemin!
He had a plate full of bite-sized snacks and was truly looking like someone who had taken the front row seat to enjoy the show. Seeing him, even Xiu's lips twitched but she closed her eyes briefly to calm down. Right now, her anger was directed at Qiu Meihui, she'd change the target to Xin Zemin some other time.
Xiu tugged at Qiu Meihui's hair making her yelp again as she asked, "Weren't you so curious about my filthy blood? Won't you like to know whose bastard child I am?" She looked at Xin Zemin, who frowned as he finally stood up under her furious gaze while Xiu continued, "Since you called me a low born, why don't you meet this low born's father!"
She pushed Qiu Meihui's face towards Xin Zemin. Every single person in the hall gasped out as Xiu added, "Here, meet this bastard's father, Xin Zemin!" Qiu Meihui's eyes widened in shock. She even forgot to cry. Xiu came close to her face as she sneered, "I don't think he needs an introduction, does he? The current head of Xin Clan has his own reputation after all. But you need to ask him if he has filthy blood in his veins because it's his blood running through my veins as well!"
Xin Zemin was in an even bigger shock than Qiu Meihui or any other person in this hall. He was totally lost and blanket out. He even forgot to chew the snack in his mouth and swallowed it whole. Did he believe Xiu's words? No, definitely not! But when he looked at the conviction in Xiu's eyes, he doubted himself. Was he missing something here?
His trance was only broken when Qiu Meihui shook her head vigorously, "No way! Uncle Zemin doesn't have any kids. You're not a Xin. There is no way!"
"You! This girl! Don't spout nonsense carelessly!"
Xiu looked up at Mother Xin who seemed to have woken up from a dream and walked over to Xiu's side. Seeing this, everyone on the stage tensed up a little.

He is an honest man." She took a look at her younger son and continued, "And the way you're acting, I'm more willing to believe that you're Zimen's bastard child. Both have foul mouths and both only know how to create trouble."
While Xin Zimen rolled his eyes at his mother's remark, Xin Zemin turned to her saying, "Mother, this doesn't involve you. So, you better stay out of this." As Mother Xin opened her mouth to retort, he added in a decisive tone, "Even if this girl is my daughter or not, I don't want you to insult her. You're getting on age. Better take a seat and relax."
Mother Xin was hopping mad but Xin Zimen was surprised to see his brother standing up against their mother. When did this change happen? Had he been distant from the family for far too long or what? How come he didn't hear anything about this?
One had to know that to Xin Zimen, this was nothing less than a miracle. His ever so obedient brother had shut their mother down. He felt like he was reeling in disbelief now.
Once he was done settling his mother, Xin Zemin looked at Xiu with a complicated gaze.
As if holding on to her last straw, Qiu Meihui called out to Xin Zemin, "Uncle, she is trying to blemish your good name in the society with her nonsense. Don't listen to her. Orphans like her would do anything to crawl their way into families like us. Otherwise, why would she have seduced Regan?"
Before Xin Zemin could open his mouth, Darren held Qiu Meihui's wrist and turned her around saying, "You are hell-bent on breaking off every shred of cordiality. If you said another word against my wife, I'll really forget what relationship I have with your family. Don't blame me for being ruthless then."
