Xie Liangying looked at Yan quietly for a while, then turned around and went out to instruct his subordinates, "Send a boy from outside to tell my father and brother about my mother's illness." This is not a trivial matter, there is no backbone in our room now, so we must ask them to come back and find a way. ”

The servant woman blessed her body, and when she answered the word, she went out to find someone.

Xie Lezhi and Xie Chuquan, father and son, returned to Beijing early due to the Qiu Qiu accident, but it was not a day of rest, they still had to go to the yamen to work. The panting little guy almost broke half of his leg, and hurriedly brought the news of Yan's stroke to their ears. The father and son naturally put down what they were doing, took leave with their bosses, and hurried home.

In the main house of the Xie Mansion, the grandmother of the Xie family was mechanically reciting the Buddha beads, her face expressionless. After a while, she asked, "Ah Ying went to call her father and eldest brother back?" ”

Ru Mama lowered her eyebrows and responded, "Calculate the time, the third master and the fifth young master should almost arrive." ”

The grandmother of the Xie family used a lot of force in her hand, and the rope with the Buddha beads was broken, and the agarwood Buddha beads slipped off the rope one by one and fell on the blue brick floor with a crisp and beautiful sound. With a hint of anger, she gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "Go and call those two brutes to me!" ”

Ru Mama walked out of the courtyard without saying a word, and stood on the second gate, ready to block people at any time and take them to the grandmother of the Xie family.

As soon as the father and son's sedan chair stopped in the courtyard, they poked their heads out and saw Ru Mama respectfully saluting them.

"Third master, fifth young master, the old lady called you to go over first."

Xie Lezhi frowned slightly, glanced at his son, and was a little confused when he saw that he was worried. Xie Lezhi put his mind at ease, thinking that this bastard boy had done something to make his mother unhappy, and he wanted to call for reprimand. Now it seems that it should be for the illness of his wife.

Ru Mama's face was as pale as an ancient well, "The third master, please hurry up, the old lady is still waiting." ”

Xie Le straightened out his clothes and walked in the front. But in the end, I didn't feel at ease, so I asked more, "Do you know what my mother told us to do?" ”

Xie Chuquan quickly interjected, "Mama, grandmother asked us to go over because of my mother's illness?" His brow furrowed even tighter, "Is it really that tricky?" Do you want to ask for a favor and call a few more physicians? ”

Ru Mama said: "The old slave doesn't know what the old lady is for. The old lady only asked the third master to go over with the fifth young master, and the others didn't say anything. After a pause, he added, "The old lady has sent someone into the palace to ask the old lady to beg the mother, and the imperial doctor will arrive later." ”

When Xie Chuquan heard this, he felt a little relieved, and his face couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed. He has always had confidence in the Taiyi's medical skills, as long as they don't say anything and can't be cured, then the Yan clan will definitely be fine.

Xie Lezhi's mood was much heavier than before. He is familiar with his mother's character, and this time, I'm afraid it wasn't for the Yan family.

The grandmother of the Xie family was restlessly waiting for someone to come over in the main house, and she caught a glimpse of the person entering the courtyard from a distance, and finally couldn't sit still anymore. She picked up the tea bowl at hand, walked out of the house with the help of the servant, and smashed it at the feet of father and son.

The two of them were confused by this outing. Before they could come to their senses, the grandmother of the Xie family had already picked up her crutches and hit them hard.

The father and son were in terrible pain, but they didn't dare to hide, for fear that the reputation of unfilial piety would spread at that time.

Xie Lezhi finally couldn't hold back the fight and asked, "My mother wants to beat her, but I don't dare to disobey." But you have to be a person who understands. ”

The grandmother of the Xie family is old, and she is already tired and panting after a few strokes of crutches. She pointed to Xie Lezhi's nose, nodded incessantly, and said, "Okay, if you want to understand, I'll tell you to understand." Let me ask you, do you often go to that Shuangque alley these days to find a woman? With a tilt of his hand, he pointed to Xie Chuquan again, "Still call Chuquan over?" ”

Xie Lezhi was shocked, his mother actually knew about it. It's not a big deal, I originally wanted to solve it by myself, and now that it's known, there's nothing bad to admit. He nodded in response, "That's Chai Jin's house, and my son used to visit his old friend." ”

Xie Chuquan touched the sore spot on his body and admitted: "Shuangque Hutong has a bad reputation, and my father can't go there often, sometimes I secretly go over to take care of others." ”

The grandmother of the Xie family trembled angrily, she thought that Xie Liangying was just hearsay, but she didn't expect the two fathers and sons to admit it.

"What a visit! What a lookout! Who is this old man? Why did I smell a vixen before I saw it?! You two just looked, watched, and brought people to bed?! As he spoke, he slapped Xie Chuquan with a stick.

Xie Chuquan was beaten to the ground and screamed, "Grandmother is listening to anyone's nonsense, we are innocent with others." Never half a point out of the ordinary! ”

"Never overdone? It's not overdone, whose child is in the girl's belly? The grandmother of the Xie family was angry and cried, she dropped her crutches and fell into the arms of her grandmother behind her weakly, "Evil, how can I be worthy of the ancestors of the Xie family, I actually gave birth to such a beast." A woman serving two people, or a father and son, this kind of thing is unheard of in ancient and modern times. ”

Xie Chuquan muttered angrily, "I don't care whose child it is, it's not mine anyway." ”

"It's either yours or your daddy!" The grandmother of the Xie family relieved herself under the constant stroking of Mama Ru's chest, "This kind of thing...... Do you dare to talk back after doing such a thing?! ”

Xie Lezhi endured the pain and kicked his son to signal him to shut up. "Mother, this is a misunderstanding." He looked around, he didn't want to let too many people know about this, but if he didn't make it clear now, he was afraid that he would not be able to take off his reputation in the future.

The grandmother of the Xie family, supported by Mama Ru, stood still and raised her chin towards Xie Lezhi, "You say." Privately, she didn't want to believe that her son and grandson would do such a thing. She needed an explanation, a reason to convince herself.

"Do you remember my classmates when I was studying in Jiangnan? He stayed at home when he went to Beijing to take the exam. ”

The grandmother of the Xie family thought about it for a while, and asked uncertainly, "You mean...... That Wu Yan? ”

Xie Lezhi sighed, "It's him." ”

"Didn't he die not long after returning to his hometown after falling off the list? How? And a dead man involved in this? The grandmother of the Xie family sneered, "You just want to excuse yourself and find me a better excuse." ”

"When Brother Wu died, I happened to be outside near his hometown, and when I learned that he was seriously ill, I went to visit him. He once told me to take good care of my family, and I said yes because of the camaraderie among my classmates. But his wife remarried with her daughter after his death, and I lost news of them because of this. ”

Before Xie Lezhi could say the following words, the grandmother of the Xie family guessed it. "What do you mean...... That woman is Wu Yan's descendant? She saw Xie Lezhi and Xie Chuquan nodding, and asked again, "How could that woman have anything to do with Chai Jin again?" ”

"It's a long story......

Wu Yan went early, and he only had one daughter until he died, called Wu Yi. His wife couldn't give up the child, so she remarried with a drag oil bottle. It's just that Wu Yi is unwilling to live in the countryside for a long time, and after hearing that his father had entrusted high-ranking officials in Beijing to take care of him, he packed up some softness and went north to the capital without telling his mother. It's just that before he entered Beijing, he was tied up by a kidnapper and sold into the Goolan land in the capital.

It's good now, the capital has arrived. But she was already a lowly person, and she was closely watched by Qinglou's mother, and she couldn't get out of the building at all. This day was forced to be tight, Wu Yi, who was unwilling to sell his body, simply turned his heart sideways, jumped down from the upstairs, and happened to fall in front of Chai Jin, who was passing by the building.

This jump fell on her long-cherished wish.

Before Wu Yi fainted, he took the tokens of Wu Yan and Xie Lezhi back then, won the trust of Chai Jin, and was saved. During the period of recuperation, after learning Chai Jin's identity, Wu Yi, who was active, naturally would not let go of this big fish.

Chai Jin originally planned to wait for Wu Yi's injury to heal and call Xie Lezhi to meet him. It's just that he didn't expect that he was the only one who set up a gentle township bureau for others, but this time he was trapped. The gentle and petty Wu Yi tried her best and finally seized the opportunity. Chai Jin, who was dizzy by the quarrel between his mother and wife that day, couldn't help but feel pity under the relief of the beauty. It became a good thing for the two to be half-pushed and half-on the spot.

Wu Yi became Chai Jin's outsider.

However, Chai Jin was still thinking about the affairs of the Xie and Wu families in his heart, and he still invited Xie Lezhi over.

Xie Lezhi saw how the two of them got along, and there was anything he didn't understand. He didn't want to say anything to Chai Jin in person, so he had to privately persuade Wu Yi to leave the capital. It's just that Wu Yi is very stubborn, and now that he has a little favor from Chai Jin, how can he stop there.

"Mother knows Chengfang's temperament, which is so similar to her sister, if she knows that Chai Jin has an outer room, how can she stop here?" Xie Lezhi sighed, "Princess Lao Chai doesn't like her, if something happens to her, I'm afraid that our family will not be able to live in peace." On the one hand, I was afraid of the promise I made to Brother Wu back then, and on the other hand, I was afraid of the future...... Chengfang is about to make a fuss, how can it be fun. ”

Xie Chuquan asked at this time, "How did grandmother know about this?" ”

The grandmother of the Xie family was skeptical of Xie Lezhi's words, but the balance in her heart was already tilted in favor of Xie Lezhi. She agrees with Xie Lezhi's analysis. Liu Chengfang is especially disgusted with the outer room of the concubine because of her mother's affairs, and if she knows that Chai Jin has raised people, she will definitely make trouble. was thinking about how to solve this matter, when she heard Xie Chuquan ask her, she blurted out, "It was Ah Ying who told me." ”

Xie Chuquan said curiously: "How could Ah Ying know about this? He and Xie Lezhi glanced at each other, and then looked at the grandmother of the Xie family, "What did Ah Ying say to grandmother?" ”

The grandmother of the Xie family squinted, recalling Xie Liangying's actions at that time, she didn't feel anything at the time, but now she feels suspicious when she thinks about it.

Xie Liangying said at that time, "The capital has spread all over the city", did she hear someone say it outside, or did she exaggerate it? Where did she find out about this?

If Xie Liangying had known about this a long time ago, why didn't he come to sue him at that time, but chose to choose that juncture?

Xie Lezhi and Xie Chuquan watched the Xie family's grandmother's face gradually sink, and they didn't dare to speak.

The grandmother of the Xie family took a deep breath, as if she had just woken up from her thoughts. She waved at father and son, "You go back to your room first." ”

Xie Lezhi asked, "That...... Sickness? ”

The grandmother of the Xie family paused, "It's good, I'm afraid it's difficult." ”

The three of them were speechless, and finally Xie Lezhi broke the silence, "Let's wait for the imperial doctor to come and see it." ”

Father and son went back together. The grandmother of the Xie family watched their figures disappear behind the bushes and turned back to the house.

"Go, send someone to keep an eye on Hotaru for me."

Ru Mama hugged the grandmother of the Xie family, and asked in a very low voice with her, "The old lady wants to know who the fifth lady is dealing with?" ”

The grandmother of the Xie family twinkled in her eyes, "I still want to know where she often goes now, and what the hell is going on in private!" I checked it clearly, and I was not allowed to miss the slightest bit. ”

If Mama is self-sufficient, she should go down.
