Chapter Thirty-Eight: I Can't Help but Be Afraid
Xie Xun was originally happy because of Tanglin Shuo's words, thinking that the relationship between the two had gone further. But when he raised his eyes and saw that Dongling Shuo's face was serious, and there was even a hint of anger, Xie Xun accepted Fang Cai's casualness and asked everyone who served to retreat first.
"Shuo'er, what's going on?" Xie Xun asked cautiously.
Before the queen entered the palace, she was extremely harmonious with her two brothers.
Tanglin Shuo and his two uncles also get along well, because they are his elders, and he doesn't want Xie Xun to hurt his face.
So Dongling Shuo softened his tone and said: "Uncle, today her maid stabbed herself, but she went to the official mansion to falsely accuse General Chu, but fortunately, she finally found out that she did not harm innocent people. ”
Xie Xun listened, but suddenly relaxed, and said indifferently: "What should I do?" I know you've always been yourself. But for the sins of a maid, you don't have to blame Hua'er for all the faults. You know that she doesn't have any scheming, she was pampered by us and raised with a simple mind, and it's not surprising that she was deceived by others. ”
"What does uncle mean by this, do you still feel that she has been wronged and needs me to coax her?" Tanglin Shuo snorted coldly.
Xie Xun's attitude is the same as before, but in just a few words, he turned his mistakes into victims, and it is difficult for him to say it.
Xie Xun heard his dissatisfaction and reassured: "Uncle doesn't mean that either, Shuo'er don't think about it." ”
Tanglin Shuo's expression was cold: "The eldest uncle is the prime minister of a country, so he won't even be able to hear such a simple case." How could Xie Yinhua's maid have a personal vendetta with General Chu's people? Don't forget, Xie Yinhua is not in the mansion today, it is she who personally led people to break into the general's mansion and disturbed the peace of General Chu. ”
Xie Xun knew that Xie Yinhua was not reasonable, most of them out of jealousy, and deliberately went to Chu Nanyue for trouble, but as a result, stealing chickens and rice did not lead to rice, but asked for hardship.
But he listened to Dongling Shuo's words and words towards Chu Nanyue, and couldn't help but blame Donglin Shuo's partiality: "Even if Hua'er is at fault, the matter is over, and General Chu is not to blame, it is all in the past." Why do you want to make more trouble, and embarrass Hua'er by holding on to it. ”
"Uncle, if she wasn't a child of the Xie family, do you think I would still treat her like this?" Tanglin Shuo sighed, his expression solemn, "I just thought that it was about the Xie family, and it was for the good of the Xie family that I came to see my uncle today." ”
"For the sake of the Xie family?" Xie Jinghu said suspiciously.
Tanglin Shuo took in Xie Xun's eyes, and asked in a straight voice: "Did the eldest uncle ever know that Xie Yinhua was causing trouble outside in the name of the Xie family?" ”
Seeing Xie Xun's eyes dodging, it seemed that Xie Yinhua was acting outside, and he knew a little about it.
Tanglin Shuo couldn't help but be even more disappointed: "It turns out that the eldest uncle knows. ”
Xie Xun became embarrassed and argued: "I am not the only one in the Xie family who is so accustomed to her. She's not my child, so I can't discipline her. What's more, the queen also spoils her too. ”
How many years have passed like this, why Xie Yinhua has something to blame for today's incident, it is his uncle.
"The second uncle has no official position, my mother is in the harem, and the real power of the Xie family is controlled by the eldest uncle, right?" Tanglin Shuo's eyes were cold, and his voice was long, "As far as I know, most of the children of the Xie family are also taught under the eldest uncle. ”
Xie Xun didn't like Dongling Shuo's condescending tone of controlling everything, so he raised the elder's shelf and asked him rhetorically, "So what?" ”
"The future of the Xie family is in the hands of the eldest uncle, who is familiar with history books, but he knows that his relatives have been ruined little by little since ancient times." Donglin Shuo said meaningfully, "The embankment of thousands of miles collapsed in the anthill, if the juniors of the Xie family only know how to stain the light, and it is useless......"
"Shuo'er, the Xie family is a poor family supported by His Majesty!" Xie Xun couldn't help but interrupt.
When the Xie family was poor, it was his father who followed the emperor all the way, and it was he who followed the emperor of the current dynasty to earn this inheritance.
In order to confront the family, the emperor relied on himself very much, and later married his sister as the queen, and he took a fancy to the Xie family and had a lot of support.
"Hanmen ......" Tanglin Shuo sneered, he played with this sentence, "Uncle knows that if Hanmen does not restrain himself, sooner or later he will become an uncontrolled family. Is there really such a big difference between the family and the Hanmen? ”
Xie Xun finally fell silent, as if awakened by Donglin Shuo's words.
Tanglin Shuo became more and more earnest: "Uncle, I know the queen mother's feelings for the Xie family, in fact, even I have the blood of your Xie family in my body. It is precisely because the Xie family is connected to the royal blood that it is more necessary to be self-disciplined and manage the children in the family. ”
Tanglin Shuo is for the Xie family this time, but more for the queen. He knew that the queen regarded the Xie family as his belonging, and if the Xie family really fell one day due to various problems, the saddest person would be the queen at that time.
So as long as the Xie family is still saved, he will not turn a blind eye to Donglin Shuo as the queen.
Xie Xun also accepted Fang Cai's slackness, and half solemnly returned to Tanglin Shuo, and said, "It's hard for you to be filial to the queen." You said that your uncle understands. ”
Although the queen was able to enter the palace at the beginning, there were reasons for her own efforts. But the queen later gave birth to two more sons-in-law, and he also understood the secret care of the Xie family.
"Uncle understands." Tanglin Shuo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "There's nothing to do, I'll go back first."
Xie Xun sent someone to bid farewell to Donglin Shuo, and ordered someone to summon Xie Yinhua, who had returned to the house.
"Uncle, what are you looking for Hua'er?" Xie Yinhua cried a lot just now, her eyes were red and swollen at this time, and she was extremely depressed.
"Uncle has something to tell you." Xie Xun said earnestly.
He looked at his niece, who was a beautiful woman at a young age, and this kind of appearance was rarely matched by anyone in the capital. However, he always acted so recklessly that he couldn't bear it.
Xie Xun couldn't help but tone a little heavier than usual: "Hua'er, your father can't represent the Xie family, you are a boudoir girl, how can you be embarrassed to talk about the Xie family, but you are causing trouble for the Xie family outside?" ”
In retrospect, today's case is fortunately that the maid finally confessed, if Xie Yinhua is bitten out again, then where is the face of the Xie family? Xie Xun couldn't help but start to be afraid.
Xie Yinhua was still sad about Donglin Shuo's indifference, and at this time, he was reprimanded by his uncle, and he became even more sad: "Is Uncle blaming Hua'er for embarrassing the Xie family?" But what did you say to Hua'er in the past? You all said that I would marry the sixth brother in the future, but now Hua'er has found out that you are all liars! ”
"Who lied to you?" Seeing Xie Yinhua crying again, Xie Xun frowned, "You and Shuo'er have been green plums since childhood, the queen likes you, and has long regarded you as a daughter-in-law, these outsiders don't know, don't the Xie family's own family still understand?" ”
"But the sixth brother ignored me, he only knew that he was around that Chu Nanyue." Xie Yinhua couldn't help but complain to Xie Xun.
"Chu Nanyue?" Xie Xun narrowed his eyes, thinking of the maintenance implied in Fang Cai Dongling Shuo's words, as well as the rumors he heard in the court, he couldn't help but show a look of vigilance.
And he looked at the crying Xie Yinhua, and said slowly: "Hua'er, don't you even have these confidences?" You look at everything you have, the whole Xie family behind it. And what about her Chu Nanyue? She is a general with no real power, where can she compare to you? ”
He paused before continuing: "You should go to your aunt more, be good to your aunt, Shuo'er's marriage is still up to the queen mother after all." ”
Xie Yinhua nodded as if he understood something, and finally stopped his tears.
