The news of the accident of the King of Shu was quickly confirmed.

Although Qin Ping and Wang Fuzhong both took leave today and never entered the palace, there were so many people who entered the palace to go to the court, and naturally there were many people who witnessed what happened in front of the palace. For this, the officials were busy for a long time, and it was not until it was close to noon that they were able to leave the palace and go home. That's when the news spread. There are many witnesses, and many officials say so, even if some people think it is just a rumor, they have to believe it when they say it.

The whole of the second room was shocked. Qin Bofu didn't care about liquidating how much property his family had shared, and hurriedly pulled the Xue family's brothers-in-law out to find out the news. The Xue family and the little Xue family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were panicked at home, and someone among the Xue family's daughters asked in a low voice: "Doesn't Mrs. Gu know any princess? Why don't you go and inquire about it?" It's good to go and find out, if it doesn't matter, our family can rest assured. ”

Xiao Xue's rarely interacted with nobles of the rank of the princess of the county, and usually just traveled with the ladies of the long house, and now her mother-in-law suddenly asked her to go to the Shanyang Mansion alone, and she was also a little weak. Just when she saw her daughter, who was pale and at a loss, she relented and bowed her head and responded: "Yes, madam." ”

After Xiao Xue went out, it didn't take long for him to turn around. She didn't get to see Princess Sanyang. Since there was bad news in the palace, Princess Shanyang took her eldest daughter to the Shu Palace, and appeased the Shu princess. The second county lord of Shanyang Wangfu went back to his grandfather's Tu family, and he also discussed how to deal with it. Changshi and other subordinate officials are not in the palace, or to inquire about the news, or to go out to run errands, only the seven-year-old little county lord, the three-year-old little prince and the servants are in the palace, what use can it be? Xiao Xue only politely said to the head of the palace, expressed his inner worries, and said a few words of condolences, and then went home.

She didn't get any useful news, and Xue was so angry that he scolded her. Xiao Xue's mother, Mrs. Xue, and sister-in-law, Grandma Xue, saw it on the side, and felt a little sorry for Xiao Xue, and they were a little dissatisfied with Xue. The princess is not at home, and the owner of the palace is left with only two children to take care of the house, what can the little Xue family do? Can they still take the risk of offending the master's family and force the servants to tell the truth? But even if those servants are willing to speak, can they be trusted? Xiao Xue's visit is not coincidental, and it will be enough to go again later, as a mother-in-law and aunt, why does the Xue family not know how to sympathize with the younger generations at all, but instead scolds them?

Mrs. Xue was sad for her daughter, in the final analysis, it was just because her daughter failed to give birth to a son-in-law for the Qin family. Without a son, the waist pole can't be straightened up after all.

Mrs. Xue didn't have much to say, so she could only divert the topic: "What happened to the King of Shu, will there be any bad results? He is the emperor's own brother, and the emperor plans to succeed his youngest son as his heir, so if you want to come, your life is always fine, right?"

Grandma Xue sighed: "Madam, if the nobles in the clan have not committed the crime of rebellion, they are usually unharmed, and I am afraid that the emperor will be angry and will demote the lord of the Shu Palace." Also, the king of Shu is trying to pass on his youngest son to the emperor. He, who is an old man, has made a mistake now, and his youngest son doesn't know if he still has that blessing. ”

Xue and Qin Jinyi's faces suddenly turned blue. If the young son of the King of Shu can't succeed the royal family, won't their plans be in vain?!

Second Mrs. Xue, who was sitting on the side watching the play, glanced at the ancestors and grandchildren a few times, and could guess what they were thinking in her heart, so she hurriedly smiled and started a round: "It's okay, it's okay, even if the King of Shu is really unlucky, his youngest son doesn't commit anything, so it's no big deal." It is said that they are all noble golden branches and jade leaves, even if the emperor does not succeed his youngest son, his youngest son is still rich and noble. If you are lucky, you will be crowned a king in the future, and if you are unlucky, you will at least be a clan general. Sister Yi married in the past, and she can enjoy a lifetime of wealth and honor. In my opinion, it is time to take advantage of his family's bad luck, Sister Yi hurried to Princess Shu to offer her courtesy, so that she knew Sister Yi'er's sincerity. When his family is safe, Princess Shu will definitely look up to Sister Yi. In this way, Sister Yi and her son have married, and their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can get along well. ”

This was said very insightfully, Mrs. Xue, Grandma Xue, and Little Xue all nodded, and even Qin Jinyi was hesitating. But Xue categorically refused: "No! If the king of Shu is unlucky this time, and his youngest son can't succeed to the emperor, so he can't stay in the capital, then what can he do? If Lao Tzu doesn't commit a crime, his son may not be able to be crowned the king of the county, not to mention that he does something that Lao Tzu commits a crime? If there is no prince, only the title of auxiliary general and general of Zhenguo, why should I marry my granddaughter so far? The children of the clan in the capital have grabbed a lot of them, and some of them are chosen by our sister Yi! There are no titles and titles, there is no benefit at all, and the life of the poor clan is not as good as our Xue family. The King of Shanyang is a good example, even if he is a prince? Isn't it that the King of Shu's family has returned to Beijing, and there are a few people in the capital who look up to him? Instead of asking such a clan disciple to be a son-in-law, I might as well marry Sister Yi back to my mother's family!"

Second Mrs. Xue's eyes lit up when she heard this: "What Mrs. Gu said is true?" She has a grandson, who happens to be the same age as Qin Jinyi, and she has also studied since she was a child, and she is also beautiful, so she will not insult Qin Jinyi.

However, the Xue family just glanced at her: "Second sister-in-law, I just said it casually, can you still take it seriously?What is the origin of our Sister Yi?What is the background of the Xue family?How can Sister Yi marry back to the Xue family?!"

Second Mrs. Xue's face stiffened, and it was easy to swallow the breath in her heart, but she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

What about the Xue family? Isn't the Xue family the daughter of the Xue family? When something happened to the Qin family, the old lady Xue saved her daughter alive and dead, and when the Qin family was rehabilitated, the Xue family began to complain that the old father had done too much at the beginning, so that she would be poked in the back when she returned to the Qin family. She didn't want to think about it, even if she didn't want to suffer with the Qin family and abandoned her husband's family, when the Qin family's daughters returned to their hometowns, she could completely find the door. At that time, she had a big belly, she only needed to say that it was to protect the flesh and blood of the Qin family, the old lady of the Ye family was so good-tempered, could she not have children? She refused to see either side, and did not allow the Xue family to help the Qin family, as if she was afraid of being contaminated with the bad luck of the Qin family. When the Qin family recovered, her son was criticized for not being the flesh and blood of the Qin family, and she complained about her mother's family. In order to force her to stay in the Qin family as a widow, the father and son of the Xue family always felt ashamed of her in their hearts, and they have always been kind to her and obedient. Second Mrs. Xue didn't think so: when the Qin family recognized their son but not their daughter-in-law, the Xue family didn't want to be a widow, so they could remarry. She was reluctant to let go of the glory of the Hou Mansion by herself, but put the responsibility on her mother's family, and now she looks down on the Xue family, she is really thick-skinned!

Second Mrs. Xue sneered and shut up, not wanting to say more to the Xue family. Mrs. Xue couldn't abandon her granddaughter, so she said to the Xue family: "Listening to Mrs. Gu's tone, is it because you don't want to marry the Shu Palace? If that's the case, let's not offend people, even if the Shu Wangfu can't pass the stepson to the royal family, it is also the respect of the prince, the golden branches and jade leaves, not something we can afford to offend." If the tea party in the palace is not held, Mrs. Gu will only not know the meaning of Princess Shu, and tell Sister Yi that she will have a good family matter, and people will not mention it again when they see that Sister Yi already has a family. If the palace tea party is followed, then Sister Yi should not dress up too prominently, and when it comes to the tea party, she will not be in the limelight, and the ladies of other families will compete for the lead. In this way, what kind of identity is the princess of Shu? I will not choose a sister who is not comparable to others in everything. ”

Qin Jinyi couldn't help but say: "How can this be done, grandmother, if I don't behave as well as other ladies in front of people, I will have to talk about family affairs in the future, and I will be looked down upon!"

Xiao Xue hurriedly said: "It's just that you don't want to be in the limelight at the tea party." Wouldn't it be nice for you to compete with others for the first place if you have a chance in the future?"

Qin Jinyi pursed her lips and didn't speak. She didn't say anything, but everyone in the room understood what she meant. She was unwilling to hide it.

Seeing this, Xiao Xue sighed secretly, and was about to persuade his daughter again, but he heard his mother-in-law Xue say: "What's the limelight? I don't think this tea party can be held, even if Princess Shu is really cheeky and still has a tea party, there are not many people who are willing to go, let alone a lady who is willing to rush to kiss his family. The king of Shu has gone badly, how can his son still succeed to the royal family? It is useless for us to go to the tea party, it is better to save this effort. ”

The women were taken aback. Xiao Xue hurriedly said: "Madam, this is an offending thing. The post of our second room was specially sent by Princess Shanyang......"

Xue waved his hand and interrupted his daughter-in-law's words: "Which onion is the princess of Shanyang? In the past, when the Shu king's family did not enter Beijing, did you see that the long house had any contact with the Shanyang Palace? Now that the king of Shu is gone, what do we care about the princess of Shanyang? If someone from his family comes, tell them that we have just separated from the family, and we are busy, so we don't have time to go to the tea party. ”

Xiao Xue was a little uneasy: "Mrs...... Isn't it a matter of taking a look first? Maybe the King of Shu is just in danger? Or will the long room and the third room still go to the tea party? Let's follow the long room. If they don't go, we don't care. It would be ...... if they went and we didn't."

Xue Shi sank his face: "What's too much, we are all separated, and we are two families." Why do you want me to act according to Xu Yu's orders?! Come on, I'm in charge of this matter. If the king of Shu is safe and sound, we will participate in the tea party as usual. If the king of Shu is punished, and his youngest son cannot succeed, then we just don't know about the tea party. When people come to the door, we deduce that the family is sick, and they can't force the patient to come to the door to drink tea, right?!"

Xiao Xue closed his mouth helplessly. Mrs. Xue persuaded her sister-in-law uneasily: "Mrs. Auntie, is this inappropriate? If the Shu Wangfu even the prince has been reformed and completely defeated, it doesn't hurt if we don't let Sister Yi marry and suffer crimes." But if the Shu Wangfu is only lightly punished, even if it is demoted, the people are still high-ranking clansmen. If Sister Yi can marry into such a family, or marry her sister-in-law, it is already a rare blessing, where can we still be picky? Mrs. Yi's vision is too high, but don't miss Sister Yi'er's future. ”

Xue Shi said with a straight face: "Sister-in-law, you don't need to persuade anymore, you don't know the affairs of the court, so you will think that ordinary clans and palaces are unattainable nobles." In fact, there are many famous princes in the capital, and how many of them are more decent than our Qin family? I'll decide her marriage, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

When everyone saw that she had made up her mind, although they had all kinds of opinions in their hearts, they could only shut up and sigh in private.
