The grandmother of the Xie family came back from Song Shenzhi's house and crossed out his name on the list in her hand.

Xie Liangying glanced at the list and said, "Grandmother, Ming'er, why don't we go to Hongyu Shi's house to have a look?" I remember that the third lady of the Hong family has always had a good relationship with the fourth sister, maybe Mrs. Hong is willing to help in front of the fourth sister? Moreover, Mrs. Hong's temperament is well-known for her generosity and generosity in Beijing, even if she can't help, she will tell one or two inside, isn't it more convenient for us? ”

The grandmother of the Xie family looked at the list and nodded slowly. In the past few days, she has almost traveled to the official houses she had befriended in the past, but those who have been professed to be righteous in the past have shaken their heads when they heard that it was the Yan family. It's okay to be willing to meet, some directly say that they are not at home or are sick and can't meet, and the grandmother of the Xie family has eaten several closed doors.

There have always been more icing on the cake and less charcoal in the snow, and the grandmother of the Xie family naturally knows this truth. But when I really faced it, I still felt that the world was cold.

Since she decided to go to see Mrs. Hong, the grandmother of the Xie family immediately sent someone to send a message to the Hong Yushi family. The Hong family did not refuse, but only said that they would wait tomorrow afternoon. With a glimmer of hope, the grandmother of the Xie family took Xie Liangying to visit her on the second day.

The two families saluted, and as soon as they sat down, Mrs. Hong waved her hand to the grandmother of the Xie family who was about to speak, "Old Madam Xie doesn't need to speak, I know why you came this time." ”

The grandmother of the Xie family looked at her with hopeful eyes, hoping that Mrs. Hong's next words would not disappoint her.

"It's just that my lord mentioned this to me. We can't help. Mrs. Hong said apologetically, "But I can tell the old lady something inside." ”

The grandmother of the Xie family was shocked, and there was something strange inside!

Mrs. Hong said: "It's not that we don't want to help, but this matter ......" Mrs. Hong pointed to the sky, "It's the meaning of the saint." How can we, who are courtiers, come against the will of the Holy? ”

Xie Liangying said: "Mrs. Hong's words are wrong. The saint is the Son of Heaven, but he will also make mistakes. My grandfather's family did disrespectful things because of a moment of financial constraints, but in the end they did not sin to death. ”

Mrs. Hong nodded, "Miss Xie Wu, don't be in a hurry, listen to me." She continued, "It's a big deal. If His Majesty doesn't care, he will lift it high and put it down gently. But now His Majesty is afraid that he is going to use this matter to make some articles. The courtiers all smelled the meaning of the saint, who would dare to act rashly? If you are involved in it because of this, it is a trivial matter to lose your official position, but if you go to the big one to find the wrong place - who is clean when he is an official? You can always find some mistakes, and then it will be a big deal to rob your home and cut off your head. ”

The grandmother of the Xie family said hesitantly: "Mrs. Hong...... Why are you willing to mention this with me? ”

"I know that others don't dare to tell you that the two Lord Xie have just been turned white, and everyone thinks that His Majesty's move is intended for the Xie family. But my grandfather and I don't see it that way. Mrs. Hong said, "I don't think that His Majesty is such a forgetful person, but Lord Xie followed His Majesty when he was young." ”

"That ......"

Mrs. Hong interrupted the Xie family's grandmother's words, "Lord Xie has always been good friends with Bai, so Old Madam Xie might as well go and talk to Bai Xiang." ”

The grandmother of the Xie family was a little hesitant, "Bai Xiangri has a lot of opportunities, I'm afraid I can't take care of such a trivial matter." ”

Mrs. Hong chuckled, "Old Madam Xie has been worried too much, and now the court has been arguing about this matter for several days." ”

Xie Liangying asked, "Why is that?" ”

"The Yan family has not yet been formally convicted, and now they are just being imprisoned. There is no law in this dynasty, and if a conviction is made, there will be a precedent to follow in the future judgment, which is a major matter. ”

The descendants of the Hong family came to report at this time, "Madam, Mrs. Zhao and the second lady of the Zhao family came to the house." ”

Seeing the opportunity, the grandmother of the Xie family said, "Then we will go back first today." ”

Mrs. Hong got up and sent them out, "If there is anything else, just come to me, I will do my best." ”

Xie Liangying bowed down, "Thank you, Mrs. Hong." ”

Mrs. Hong smiled: "Hurry up and go to Bai Xiang, this matter should be sooner rather than later." Let the fourth lady of your house come to our house to play another day, my daughter has been thinking about it for several days. ”

The grandmother of the Xie family responded.

"Yo, isn't this Mrs. Xie? How? Asking for someone to come to you, Mrs. Hong? Mrs. Zhao hadn't seen anyone yet, so she arrived first.

The grandmother of the Xie family straightened her back and looked at the scenery in the courtyard lightly, not taking Mrs. Zhao seriously at all. She didn't plan to see Mrs. Zhao in the first place, and the reputation of this inflamed and profit-forgetful person was not new in the capital.

Mrs. Hong said, "How could Mrs. Xie ask for help? The Xie family has always been a figure in the emperor's heart, and today is just a door-to-door chat with me, a woman who doesn't like to go out. ”

Mrs. Zhao took Miss Zhao Er to the front, and she glanced at the grandmother of the Xie family and Xie Liangying, "If Mrs. Hong wants to find someone to talk to, don't look for the Xie family." They go out every day to ask for help, I'm afraid they don't know yet. ”

The grandmother of the Xie family glanced at Mrs. Zhao and did not speak as usual.

Mrs. Hong said: "What's new in the capital?" Mrs. Zhao might as well talk to me about it? She glanced at the grandmother of the Xie family, and secretly pulled Xie Liangying, who was about to come out, and signaled her not to speak.

Mrs. Zhao said with a smile: "The capital is now rumored, and the Marquis of Yunyang is afraid that he is going to withdraw from the marriage." ”

The grandmother of the Xie family was stunned, looked at Xie Liangying on the side, and saw that she was also dazed and shocked.

"Look, I don't know." Mrs. Zhao said proudly, "This matter has already spread all over the capital." I think so, if I change it, of course I will get out of the marriage. The Xie family's reputation is not very good now, and marrying his daughter's daughter is not blocking his future! ”

Xie Liangying glanced at the second lady of the Zhao family, who had been following Mrs. Zhao. This is the daughter of the Zhao family who saved Xue Jian before. Now she changed her previous cowering appearance, and looked at Xie Liangying boldly, the meaning in her eyes was self-evident.

Since he came for himself, Xie Liangying asked himself if there was anything he didn't dare to take.

"Mrs. Zhao thinks I'm not worthy of Xue Jian? Who is worthy of it? Miss Zhao Er, who once saved Ah Jian? Xie Liangying glanced at Zhao Yutong, as if she was looking at something dirty, "I've never heard of a concubine who can be Mrs. Hou." Could it be that the Zhao family plans to ask the concubine and the concubine to marry together in the Hou Mansion? Called two women to serve one husband? ”

Mrs. Zhao laughed angrily, "Our Zhao family is not like the Xie family, who do that kind of shameless thing. Tsk, look at Miss Xie Wu's demeanor, she actually called the man by his name. The Xie family is really well-educated! ”

Xie Liangying said: "My name is Ah Jian, and that's because Yunyang Hou himself agreed." If Mrs. Zhao is sure about the girls of the Zhao family, she may wish to go with Ah Jian to recommend a pillow seat. ”

Shuangjue hurried over from the second door, "Girl, I'm afraid it's too late if we don't leave." Hou Ye is still waiting in the Wancui Building. ”

Xie Liangying raised her chin at Mrs. Zhao, "Shuangjue, I haven't seen Mrs. Zhao soon, this is the future in-law of the Marquis of Yunyang." ”

Shuangjue didn't even look at Mrs. Zhao, "The slave only knows that the surname of the Hou Mansion is Xie, and the wife of the Hou Ye is the fifth lady of the Xie family." ”

"Who is this?" Mrs. Zhao looked at Shuangjue and asked.

Shuangjue saluted her, "The slave maid is from the Hou Mansion of Yunyang, and the Hou Ye specially sent her to serve by the girl's side." ”

Mrs. Hong looked at the unwilling Mrs. Zhao, and said, "Miss Xie Wu, go quickly, don't ask Hou Ye Xue to wait for a long time." ”

The grandmother of the Xie family hurriedly said: "Then we will leave first, and come back to visit another day." With that, he pulled Xie Liangying and got into the carriage.

On the way, the grandmother of the Xie family asked, "Ah Ying, does Yunyang Hou really have an appointment with you?" ”

Xie Liangying shook his head, "Recently, he has been entangled in political affairs, and I haven't seen him for a while. ”

Shuangjue said: "The slave and maid just told a lie, and asked the master to punish him." ”

The grandmother of the Xie family waved her hand, "You are also the protector of the lord, and I owe it to you to relieve the siege." Otherwise, I don't know what Hotaru will be like. As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Xie Liangying.

Xie Liangying smiled: "People are bullied to the face, how can they let it go?" If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend anyone, but if anyone offends me, I will cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. ”

The grandmother of the Xie family nodded yes, but she was shocked. These words are good for Mrs. Zhao, but if he Xie Liangying understands what the Xie family has done to her, will he also cut the grass and eradicate the roots in the same way?

The more I thought about it, the more panicked I felt. The grandmother of the Xie family clenched her fists and finally made up her mind, not only for the Yan family, but also for the Xie family in the future, it seems that the Bai Mansion has to go.

Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Yutong came out of Hong's house.

"See, what Xie Liangying's little hooves looked like just now?" Mrs. Zhao sneered, "I don't know, I thought she was the queen concubine, crazy like that!" Do you really think that others don't know that Xue Jian was ordered to go to the outskirts of Beijing? I won't be able to return to Beijing in the past few days, and I don't know if the person who doesn't know the height of the sky is from the Marquis of Yunyang, don't be the Xie family heard the rumors of the divorce earlier, so they specially picked an eye-catching person to serve by their side. ”

Zhao Yutong said: "Mother, don't worry, we have Princess Ke to help us now, she swears to agree, this thing will definitely be done." ”

Mrs. Zhao sneered, "Her mother is from the Xie family, something that crawled out of that old thing's stomach." Who knows if it's secretly with the Xie family? Don't come here to scold us. ”

Zhao Yutong was silent, but he believed Liu Chengfang very much in his heart. Although Liu Chengfang really has no reason to go against the Xie family, she needs a reason too much to reverse her current situation. Since she was rejected by Xue Jian, her status in the family has become lower and lower. At first, she didn't dare to go out at all, but when she occasionally went out to attend the meetings of the nobles, everyone sneered at her.

To earn back face, in addition to relying on Liu Chengfang, you must rely on yourself. Zhao Yutong wants not only the position of Mrs. Yunyang Hou, but also those who used to sneer at her to look up to her at the soles of her feet.
