The fact that Roche was imprisoned caused quite a stir in the mansion.
On the day Xie Xuan just came back from Xuan Miaoguan, Luo was hurriedly called to the living room by Xie Zhen and then asked someone to escort him back, and was seen by many people along the way, which caused speculation.
The maids and daughters-in-law are the most well-informed, although they don't know what Luo did specifically, but they also know that she is because she wants to be unfavorable to Xie Xuan, so she will make the old lady angry. So some mothers-in-law spit on, "Yes! It really deserves! Our six girls have been pitiful since she was a child, she doesn't say that she takes good care of her, she still has bad intentions, no wonder she even uses family law! β
"That's it, when she entered the door, our lord suffered a lot of infamy for her, but now it's good, but the six girls are here, it's really black-hearted!"
- Luo Shi relied on the child in her belly to enter the door, and when she entered the door, she was already carrying Xie Yue in swaddling clothes, and her reputation was not very good. At first, he was snubbed by Mrs. Xie for a year or two, but later won favor by relying on his ability to please, and gradually gained a foothold.
And in the eyes of these mothers-in-law, Luo's eyes only look up, groveling in front of the old lady, but arrogant in front of the subordinates, he is really not a good master.
Someone went to the bottom of it, "She seduced our lord back then, forced away the lady who was the first, and did a lot of tricks, it can be seen that people are right, dogs can't change their food. Excrement. forced away Mrs. back then, do you still want to force away the six girls this time? β
"Yikes! Just by her? And I don't look in the mirror. β
β¦β¦
All kinds of speculation circulated quietly in the mansion, although the old lady and the old lady had issued a ban, such blatant gossip could not be stopped, and even Xie Tang heard the news in the outer courtyard.
When Xie Jun and Xie Xuan went to see him, the little guy pulled his sister into the inner room and asked, "Sister, are all what they said true?" β
"What?" Xie Xuan didn't understand.
Xie Tang leaned into her ear and whispered: "I heard that Madame was punished, everyone said that it was because she wanted to harm her sister and me, is it true?" Although the child knows the difference between intimacy and alienation, although he dislikes Roche, he does not know her bad intentions, and he is apprehensive when he talks about it.
Xie Xuan pressed him on the chair opposite, "Tang'er, we are all ten years old, and we should learn to distinguish many things by ourselves, do you think this is true?" β
On the other side, Xie Tang lowered his head for a moment before he whispered, "I think it's true." β
"Well, Madam is not our mother-in-law, she only hurts Xie Yue and Xie Ze, when Xie Ze bullied you before, she didn't help you, did she?" Xie Xuan looked at his younger brother who had not yet grown in size, and felt heartache when he remembered that he had been killed and stupid in his previous life.
In the Houmen Mansion, you can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't do without the heart to defend people, and Xie Tang is still Xie Jin's eldest son, and the danger is even more powerful. There is no one else around him to take care of him except for the mother left by Tao back then, if someone has bad intentions, of course, the people who serve him need to be cautious, Xie Tang's vigilance is also indispensable-
"Tang'er, you remember, except for Mother Tian beside you, you can only trust me and my sister in this house, and you have to be more careful at other times."
"Well, I remember."
"We should pay special attention to daily life, food, housing and transportation. My father sometimes asks the doctor to come and check the pulse, don't be afraid, follow and call the doctor for a consultation, so as not to eat something bad, and you don't know yet. If you feel unwell one day, you must also tell me and my sister, you know? β
"Got it." Xie Tang looked at his sister's nervous appearance, leaned closer and whispered: "Someone wants to harm my sister, naturally there are people who want to harm me, right?" I'll be careful, sister, and so will you. β
Outside, Xie Jun walked in, and when he saw the appearance of the sister and brother biting their ears, he smiled, "What are you discussing there?" β
Xie Xuan waited for her to sit down, and also reminded her, "Sister, Madame doesn't like me, I'm afraid I don't like Tang'er even more, I told him to pay attention to everything in the future." There are many things that his father can't take care of, so he can only take care of himself. β
Xie Jun knew this very well, so he said: "When I am in the house, I will naturally pay more attention, and after next year, it will be up to you." Xuanxuan, Yu'erβ" She hugged her twin siblings into her arms, her voice a little helpless, "No one else can count on it, no matter what time it is, the three of us siblings must take good care of each other." β
It was a kind of snuggling that depended on each other, which made Xie Xuan's nose sour.
"Hmm!" The twin siblings nodded heavily, and when they walked outside hand in hand, it happened that Xie Ze came back from playing outside, and when he saw Xie Tang, he reluctantly walked over and said in a low voice: "Brother, I'm back." β
"Well, let's go back and rest." Xie Tang still looks like a little adult.
Xie Jun and Xie Xuan next to him were amazed, "Ze'er is learning to be obedient now?" β
"My father often came to teach me two days ago, saying that I am an elder brother and a brother is like a father, and let him listen to me. He was naughty at first, but now he is slowly getting better. Xie Jun nodded and looked at Xie Ze's back as if pleased, which made the Xie Jun sisters laugh.
The little guy looked at the two sisters and was unhappy, "Don't laugh, I'm an elder brother now, and when I grow up to be an official, I have to earn my sister's life!" β
At this moment, Xie Junxian couldn't help laughing, "You earn your sister's life?" β
"That's right! Dad said that as long as I become a big official, I can earn a life for my favorite person and let her enjoy happiness. I'm going to give my sister an order, no one dares to bully my sister! Xie Tang puffed up his chest, although the ten-year-old child was very ambitious, he obviously misunderstood the meaning of "like".
Xie Xuan couldn't help laughing, "Then I'll wait." β
The three sisters and brothers played around for a while, and Xie Tang saw that the time was up, so he went to the study without moving, and listened to the gentleman specially invited by Xie Zhen to help talk about the book.
Xie Jun and Xie Xuan returned to Tangli Courtyard together, and when they talked about Xie Tang's changes on the way, they were all pleased-
Although the silent child is not as flamboyant as Xie Ze, he also has his own success in his heart. He has ambition, he has a sister in his heart, and he wants to protect his sister, which is naturally a good thing, but when he is seventeen or eighteen years old, he can take the test for fame......
Xie Xuan remembered the turmoil in his previous life, when Guo She and Eunuch Feng joined forces to control the dynasty, and the old and weak Emperor Yuan Jing was deceived by the two of them, and gave away the Taiping World that he had built single-handedly. If you want to make a career under such a miasma, what Xie Tang has to do is probably not so easy.
What's more, there is also that stupid second uncle, who will send the Hengguo Mansion to the sword of King Yue.
I hope that all the efforts in this life can make a difference.

When Xie Ze became well-behaved, Xie Yue became quieter and quieter.
I don't know if it was under Yue's guidance, she suddenly got the hang of it, no longer continued to toss and make noise, but began to pretend to be clever and obedient in front of Xie Jin, and sent it to Xie Zhen every day, and no longer stirred up trouble when eating, and even helped Xie Xuan pick up vegetables, which was called "sister takes care of sister".
The so-called nothing to be courteous is either a traitor or a thief, although the wind and waves in the Tangli Courtyard are calm, but when she greeted Rongxi Pavilion, Xie Xuan discovered her intentions-
After greeting her, Mrs. Xie told everyone to disperse, leaving only Xie Xuan and Xie Yue, and then called someone to invite Xie Xuan over, saying that she had something to say.
Xie Xuan didn't know what tricks they were playing, so he could only wait, and after a short time Xie Zhen arrived, Mrs. Xie took him to the inner room, pointed to Xie Yue, who was sullen and folded colored paper, and said: "Look at this child, he smiles and coaxes me to be happy in front of me, but he cries quietly when no one is around, pitiful." She has been by Roche's side since she was a child, and this time she was abruptly separated and sad. β
"But Yue'er is also a lot more sensible." Xie Zhen took his hand and looked at the thin back.
"What should a ten-year-old girl do? I'm calling you over today for this purposeβ" Old Madam Xie turned around and said, "Call her out." β
With this command, the soft curtain in the inner room was lifted, and I saw Luo Shi slowly moving over, not dressed in beautiful clothes, just dressed in a homely manner, and bowed his head meekly.
Xie Jin's face changed, and he scolded Luo Shi: "Why are you here!" β
"I called her. Yue'er, come and see your mother. Mrs. Xie called Xie Yue to approach, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, Mrs. Xie seemed to be moved, wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, and beckoned to Xie Xuan, and asked kindly: "Madame already knows that she is wrong, okay if this matter is over?" You see the two of them separated, and it's pitiful. β
That's it? Xie Xuan almost sneered, his eyes widened, and he tilted his head and said, "But I was almost killed." β
Old Madam Xie was a little displeased, "Aren't you okay now, a good lady, now it's like this, and people are telling jokes." According to me, you go and talk to the old lady, and spare this time. She looked at Xie Jin.
Next to him, Xie Xuan sneered-
Afraid of jokes when you spread it? Luo did such a vicious thing and almost killed her, and Old Madam Xie was just thinking about spreading it out and being afraid of people's jokes? Although he already knew that the person in front of him was an old fool, it still made Xie Xuan want to sneer, and even wanted to throw a knife in front of her, so that she could also taste the taste of dying.
Xie Xuan didn't bother to say anything, he didn't even say hello, turned around and left.
Later, Xie Zhen obviously thought that Mrs. Xie's idea was too ridiculous, so he only arched his hand and said: "The mother is above, and the son can't obey his fate." Then he looked at Luo with cold eyes and said in a deep voice: "Do you think the old lady is not punished harshly enough?" If you are an hour late, you will be fined an extra month! If you run out again without permission, you will be fined for an extra month! β
After that, he only saluted Mrs. Xie and threw his sleeves away.
Xie Xuan snorted angrily when he arrived at Tangli Courtyard, and greeted Fang Zhou with a happy face, and leaned into her ear and said: "Just now, Han Gongzi sent someone to deliver a message, saying that Mrs. has a cousin named Luo Xiong, who was originally the leader of the Soldiers and Horses Division in Nancheng, but now he has been assigned to the army, and the road is difficult and unpredictable, so let the girl rest assured." β
Xie Xuan was stunned, Han Jue, he had already dealt with Luo Xiong? The stuffiness in her chest dissipated for a while, and she looked at the clear sky and smiled.
Although Han Jue is very hateful, sometimes he is quite good at doing things.
