"Fugitive slaves?"

Xie Yingfen was stunned. She only thought that the Ye family might have been sent by the Cao family to make it bad, but she didn't expect that there was such a possibility. But...... Is this possible? Wanqin's father, Ye Laogao, is her maternal grandfather by blood, she has seen him and his stepwife and children many times since she was a child, and she knows that they are typical middle-class servants in the prince's mansion, and their lives are much more delicate than ordinary small households, but they don't have much ability, and they just live as a small steward in the middle of the middle. Such a person is afraid that he has never been out of the capital much in his life, let alone going out to run errands alone. In this winter, can he take the identity of a fugitive slave, avoid the official road, and run incognito with his wife and children from the capital to Beiping?

Xie Yingfen didn't believe that Ye Laogao had this ability. If he was really so capable, he would have made a name for himself in the Cao family, and it would be impossible for him to be accepted as a slave by the Chengenhou Mansion after the defeat of Pingnanbo's Mansion, relying on Wanqin, the daughter who married into the Xie family, to still have some use.

Therefore, Xie Yingfen did not agree with the judgment of her biological mother Wanqin: "The Ye family cannot be fugitive slaves. If they are such a disgraceful identity, how can they openly live in an inn in Beiping City, and shout to outsiders that they are relatives of whose family, and show off their power under the banner of our Xie family? Don't they know that their aunt can't be the master of the Xie family? Don't you know that the Xie family and the Cao family have a big enmity? Aren't they afraid that this shouting will cause their father to be dissatisfied, and he will directly sue the officials and arrest them all? What can my aunt do then? My fourth brother and I are even less likely to help them. The father will only end up with the reputation of abiding by the law and not being martyred. I don't think the Ye family is so stupid. Just ......"

She paused: "They suddenly came to the door, there must be some unsightly plans." Otherwise, our family lives in an official residence in Beiping, and we only need to find someone to inquire about it, and it will not be difficult for them to know where our family lives. Since they said that they came to join their relatives, Ye Laogao was sick again, why didn't their family come to the door directly? Instead of staying in a guest house outside? If they don't want to make a noise, there's no need to go around shouting that they are relatives of the political envoys, right? So, I think they are doing strange things, and they must be calculating! ”

"No matter how they calculate, without the support of the Cao family in Beiping, everything they want to do is in vain!" Wanqin said lightly, "The fourth girl sent someone to the inn to ask, and by the way, send a few taels of silver over, and ask how my father's condition is, what kind of medicine did he take from his mother, so that the illness became more and more serious?" If he's too sick, take him straight to the hospital. The doctor who treated me was good, and he also checked my father's pulse, and he was familiar with the way, and he was more reliable than others.

"When the doctor came to me for a follow-up visit, he could also stop by and tell me how my father's condition was. As for my stepmother and her two children, let them go. If there is any calculation, sooner or later she will not be able to hold back and come to the door. If it's not a big deal, it's okay to say yes, it's just for my father's sake; But if they ask too much, just kick them out. My father will find another place to settle, and in the future, when he is cured, he will be sent to Jin Rong to care for the elderly, and the others have nothing to do with our brothers and sisters! ”

Xie Yingfen blinked, and asked Wanqin very solemnly: "What my aunt said is true?" Won't be soft-hearted again?! If Ye Laogao asks you to help his wife and children, can you also guarantee that you will not be soft-hearted, and will only proceed according to your current plan?! ”

"Who does the girl think of me?" Wanqin snorted lightly, "I'm not stupid, okay?!" The only thing I can't bear is my father, after all, it's my own father! As for my stepmother and two younger siblings, it's not that I haven't given them a way to live. As long as they don't ask too much, I'm willing to help them. In this place of Beiping City, it doesn't cost a few dollars to rent a house, and then two taels of silver are spent every month, which is enough for them to have food and clothing. If you think that there is little money, then Ye Jinsheng is young and strong, Ye Jinlian is a little beautiful, she is my stepmother, and she also does a good needlework, are you afraid that you won't be able to make a living? ! Even if they directly find a rich family to marry Ye Jinlian, whether they are wives or concubines, they can live a prosperous life! But if they are bent on getting along with me, they have to harm me and my children......" She paused, "The Cao family is not successful, the Xie family is gaining power in Beiping City, they calculate first, so don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

Xie Yingfen couldn't help but reddened her eyes again. It took so many years and so many lips and tongues to finally get her biological mother back! As long as the biological mother no longer turns her arms outwards and is willing to live in the Xie family in peace, what else does she have to worry about? Even if she gets married in the future, her younger brother is weak and shy, so she doesn't have to worry about her biological mother. All she wanted was such a peaceful and secure life.

Xie Yingfen burst into tears, but she couldn't see Wanqin's feelings: "What are you doing with the fourth girl?" What's there to cry about? Could it be that I think I'm too ruthless to my parents?! ”

Xie Yingfen shook her head: "No, it's good for my aunt to do this." Where are you ruthless to them? After all, you have left a way for each of them to live, and you are willing to provide for them for the rest of their lives, where can you find a daughter who is more affectionate and righteous than you? I'm just very happy that my aunt is finally willing to think about the Xie family, me and my fourth brother again, instead of thinking about the benefits that Husband Ye said and disregarding the interests of the Xie family, to do things for the Cao family. ”

Wanqin smiled self-deprecatingly: "What will happen to the Cao family in the future, it's uncertain, their own henchmen have all turned their backs on the main family and switched to Mrs. Xu, what else can I do for them?" At most, I'm worried about my wife...... Mrs. Shuqing in the past, worried about my parents' relatives, as well as the old sisters who were friends with me in the past, others, where can I worry about it? The Cao family has no future, but the Xie family is developing, whether it is for myself, or for the four girls and the fourth young master, I can only hope that the Xie family is good. I've been confused, but I'm not stupid! ”

She has also been a confidant and big girl by the side of Miss Gongfu for many years, has been taught by her grandmothers for many years, and has been in charge of the middle feed for many years under the husband Xie Pu. She doesn't understand the major affairs of the court and the government, but when it comes to the means in the inner house, she is proficient in it! Now it's just using what I've learned to settle a few relatives in my mother's family, what is it?

But Xie Yingfen was still very excited, she sat here with her biological mother for a while, then got up and went out to find her second sister Xie Mulin, and told the other party the reply given by her biological mother.

Xie Mulin was also much more relieved: "As long as my aunt is not confused, a few Cao family slaves are nothing." I will send someone to find out what their identity is now, if they are still slaves, who is in the hands of the deed, and why they want to come to Beiping, by the way...... Let's inquire about the current situation of the Cao family, and what about the big brother and sister and their biological mother. If you can get a more accurate answer before the Chinese New Year, big brother and sister will probably be able to live a more stable New Year, right? ”
