Knowing the news they wanted, but there was too little news, the three brothers and sisters of the Xie family had to continue to extract a confession from the proprietress of the pastry shop and ask her to tell more information.

They desperately wanted to know if their father Xie Pu had been hurt by Fang Wenshan's attack. Are you safe and sound now?

However, the proprietress of the pastry shop could not say anything except that she knew that his life was fine. After all, she has been away from Cao Shuqing's side for many years, and in recent years, she has not been able to come to the door to ask for peace, so she can only communicate with the old master through gifts and letters, and there must be some estrangement, and Cao Shuqing did not tell her everything indiscriminately. As for Gui Zhen and Du's mother, one is her junior, and the other is her senior, although they get along well, it is also impossible to tell her about the master in every detail. She could know the content of Fang Wenshan's letter, as well as the news of Xie Pu's attack in Beiping, which was inadvertently revealed by Du's mother and Gui Zhen when they were talking to others. If she wanted to inquire more, she was afraid that they would refuse.

The brothers and sisters of the Xie family were very disappointed when they saw that they couldn't get more news from the proprietress of the pastry shop.

Xie Yinghui said to Xie Xianzhi and Xie Mulin: "That's it, this slave can't say more news, and it's a waste of time for us to continue to ask her, so it's better to send someone to send a letter to Jingli quickly, or ask the shopkeeper Mao to try to inquire." If my father was really injured, the family would definitely go north to take care of him. He doesn't even have anyone around him who can take care of him except for his subordinates now! ”

Xie Xianzhi also nodded solemnly: "I will try to go to the Chengenhou Mansion to ask for my mother again, how can I let her tell her father's situation." Since she keeps saying that she still cares about our biological children in her heart, she must not let us suffer the pain of bereavement! The Cao family has abandoned her and us, and the Pingnan Bo Mansion has also declined, if even the protection of the Xie family is lost, what are we? Fang Wenshan himself is difficult to protect, if his mother wants to do stupid things at this time, don't say anything to love us. ”

Xie Mulin couldn't help but glance at them when he heard this, thinking that when Cao Shuqing teamed up with her mother's brother and lover Fang Wenshan to frame her husband Xie Pu last year, wasn't she letting her children suffer the pain of bereavement? At that time, she could be ruthless with this heart, but now will she really be moved by her son's words?

However, Xie Mulin didn't plan to stick a knife in his own brother's heart, so he only said: "Since that's the case, let's go back." She looked at the bakery's family, "If your wife remembers any news about my father in the future, please report it to our family." You know the address, right? Presumably, in the past, your wife also brought you to our Xie family to say goodbye. ”

The owner of the pastry shop hurriedly nodded and said, "Second girl, don't worry, the little ones know the place." If there is any news, it will be reported immediately! Then he paused, "It's just...... About the recipe for those pastries......"

"Oh, that......" Xie Mulin blinked, "Our family is already planning to withdraw from the capital, even if we really want to open a pastry shop, it will be somewhere else, and it will not compete with you." As for the recipe or something...... Your cakes are like that, they haven't changed much over the years, and they're still those few, although they're good, but they'll get tired of eating too much. Even if I don't open a shop, you may be robbed of business by the new tricks of other pastry shops at any time, and it will not last long. Why should I be troubled by you? ”

The cake shop all showed ugly expressions, and their flattering smiles became extremely reluctant.

But Xie Mulin then changed his tone: "I think that if a store like yours wants to open for a long time, you still have to be a little aggressive." Think more about it, don't let the guests get tired of your snacks and don't want to come back to the door. If you are only satisfied with two or three kinds of dim sum that used to be a big seller, and think that you can make a few generations of prosperity with this so-called secret recipe, you will be eliminated from the market sooner or later. Those so-called secret recipes are not as difficult to decipher as you think. ”

The owner of the pastry shop smiled bitterly and saluted her: "Thank you for the reminder, second girl, we ...... We'll reflect. ”

Xie Mulin glanced at his wife again: "That's it, go back and take care of your housework." Now it's not what it used to be, the Pingnanbo Mansion has been defeated, and the Chengenhou Mansion is disgusted with your wife's old master, so you probably won't be able to use the Cao family as a backer, right? Anyway, you are also rich people with a small fortune, and in a place like the capital, where the powerful are rampant, you have to protect yourself. Isn't our Xie family targeted by the Cao family because of their wealth? Fortunately, although we have no money now, we have saved people, and we still have a chance to make a comeback in the future. But if your family suffers the same calculations, they may not be equally lucky.

"I see that although your wife has been separated from the Cao family for many years, she still regards herself as the slave of the Cao family, and together with your family, she also wants to dedicate herself to the old master. You and your parents have been sheltered by the Cao family for many years, and even if you have to pay the price now, there is nothing to say. It's just that the children of the younger generation are more innocent, and you don't want them to continue to make cattle and horses for the Cao family, right? ”

Xie Mulin just left his words and left with his brothers and sisters. The owner of the pastry shop watched them go away, and then looked back at the proprietress who was still sitting on the ground crying, and everyone's expression was a little complicated.

On the return carriage, Xie Yinghui asked Xie Mulin: "Second sister, you just said that to the person who opened the pastry shop, isn't it...... Angry for me? ”

Xie Xianzhi was stunned when he listened: "Why did the eldest sister say that?" I think the second sister is also kind, so I will persuade the people in his family to be cautious, and what she says may be a little unpleasant, but they are all right? ”

Xie Yinghui pursed her lips and smiled: "Brother is so stupid!" Who cares if it is prudent for those who are irrelevant to act in a prudent manner? If they continue to use the name of the Cao family outside to run rampant, but they are cut down by the people of the Chengenhou Mansion, then what do I want! The words of the second sister are clearly provoking the husband and wife, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, mother and son...... Anyway, it's just for their whole family to see that the woman who deceived me is not pleasing to the eye. On the surface, we heard the news and let them go, but in fact...... When they came to their senses, wouldn't they really blame the woman for causing trouble to the whole family? Even the woman herself complained in her heart that her family did not help her, so that she could no longer be faithful to her mother, so she had to confess the news of her mother, right? ”

She glanced at Xie Mulin proudly: "Second sister, this is obviously angry for me!" Because the woman deceived me, I was beaten by my mother, and I was almost kidnapped by the Fang family. In order to inquire about her father's news, the second sister let the woman go, but how could she be happy in her heart? ”

Xie Mulin pursed his lips and smiled: "The eldest sister just understands, but there is no need to say it." Of course I don't want to spare the woman gently. Those are the main people who have deceived you and caused you to be beaten. Your mother, I don't think much of it is in your eyes, for I am afraid that I will take revenge on you, and I will not be happy in your heart; Gui Zhen and Du's mother are both locked up in the Chengenhou Mansion, and I can't help them if I want to find them; The only thing I can handle is the proprietress of this pastry shop. If you don't take her out of your anger, will the eldest sister's grievances be in vain this time?

"Since she wants to be a slave herself, and she forces the whole family to be slaves with her, of course I want to give her disgruntled family members a chance to express their wishes. Let her continue to be the master of the house, wouldn't it leave your mother a good helper in the capital? What if she comes back to calculate our family in the future? I'm not that stupid! ”
