Chapter 368: Uneasy
Xie Xianzhi quickly wrote a reply to his eldest sister Xie Yinghui.
In the letter, he repeated the reason he had mentioned in the past, persuading Xie Yinghui to return to his hometown in Huyin, but this time he added another one: Cheng Wang's deliberately had that conversation with his aunt Mrs. Ping Nanbo in front of her and Ma Yurong, just to leak the news to the two little girls. Even if Xie Yinghui didn't mention it, it was impossible for Ma Yurong to hide what she heard from her family. And as long as the eldest princess of Yongning knows about the dispute between Mrs. Ping Nanbo and the Cheng Wang family, the queen mother will also know, and then the emperor will definitely know and be dissatisfied with the prince's approach. This is undoubtedly beneficial to Lin Zhaoyi and the second prince.
Even if Xie Yinghui and Ma Yurong didn't mean that, they were also involved in the battle between the crown prince and the second prince in disguise.
Ma Yurong is the daughter of the eldest princess of Yongning, and with the protection of the queen mother and the eldest princess, it will not be a big problem, but Xie Yinghui is more dangerous. For the Ma family, she is a foreign surname after all; As the niece of the Cao family, but she can't get the help of the Cao family; The father of a high-ranking official is far away in Beiping, and the distant water can't save the near thirst, and almost all the family members are in their hometown, and they don't even have a reliable relative around them. If Empress Cao is angry with her, I am afraid that she will not show mercy to her subordinates, what will she do when the time comes?
Returning to Huyin's hometown and avoiding the chaos in Beijing is the safest choice for Xie Yinghui.
Xie Xianzhi was bitter and wrote a thick stack of letters, but he was afraid that his sister would not listen to his persuasion, and even sent his henchman Qingsong out, ordering him to follow the messenger and return to Beijing together, no matter what, he had to move Xie Yinghui to return to his hometown.
Wen's, Xie Mulin and others sent other letters and gifts to Xie Yinghui, and when this new letter was sent, the Xie family returned to peaceful days.
Xie Mulin returned to the old mansion and continued to be with Mrs. Xie. Xie Yinghui's letter, she didn't hide it from Mrs. Xie, but she didn't reveal a word about the prince's seizure of the heir, the secret news of the East Palace, and the mutual calculations of Cao Cheng's two sisters-in-law, and only reported Xie Yingrong's situation.
Old Mrs. Xie was so hateful that she almost crushed her silver teeth: "The three girls are really cunning!" This time, she actually escaped like this! If she has the ability, she will pretend to be sick for a lifetime, and she will die in the Bian family for the rest of her life! I don't believe that the Bian family will be able to support her for decades at that time?! If she is really sick to that extent, a fool will marry her to be a daughter-in-law! Her daydreams, don't even think about it coming true! ”
After scolding Xie Yingrong, she scolded Aunt Dajin again: "In the past, she seemed to understand the rules, she was more honest than her sister, and she was a fool if she didn't think about it!" The sluts sent by the Cao family are really unreliable! At the beginning, our family should have driven people out of the house, which also saved money and food in vain, and added to our blockage! ”
In the end, she scolded the Bian family again, especially Mrs. Bian: "Pretending to be a decent old feudal lord all day long, I will only look down on people, think I am not Sven enough, and complain that I am too harsh on my granddaughter, but in fact, I am just an old fool!" What do I mean to my granddaughter for no reason? Naturally, she did something bad! Xie Yingrong's superficial means can fool her for such a long time, only treating that dead girl as a good person, and sooner or later she will trap her grandson! When Xie Yingrong really calculates her grandson, I want to see if she regrets it, and can she recognize who is a good person and who is a bad person? ! ”
Xie Mulin listened and said a fair word euphemistically: "Old Mrs. Bian may not be able to see it, but the third sister saved her after all, even if it is for the sake of saving her life, she is not good at sweeping the third sister out of the house." Even if she doesn't approve of the third sister's idea, she will most likely maintain the third sister's reputation. When the dust settles on Cheng Du's marriage, if she has a suitable candidate in her hand, she may be introduced to her third sister. After all, Xie Yingrong's mental means are not very clever, as long as Mrs. Bian is not too stupid, she can see a few points.
However, Mrs. Xie scoffed at Xie Mulin's "fair words": "What life-saving grace?!" The third girl spent so much effort to deceive me, and she also spent me in Jinling City, but she ran away to the old woman of the Bian family, saying that she had no plans in her heart, would you believe it?! I'm not at home, Sister Hui is young and not on good terms with her, she was injured, as long as the Bian family took pity on her and left her behind, isn't it just a building near the water, can you see Cheng Du often? She must have been prepared for a long time, knowing that she would be able to stay in the Bian family due to injury, so she calculated me. The collapsed courtyard wall in the backyard of Cheng'en Temple, if it is not half greasy, I don't believe it! It must be a bitter ploy set up by the three girls! ”
Xie Mulin wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he deliberately said, "Won't it?" Where does the third sister have such a big ability? ”
"Hmph, she's very capable, otherwise how could she have deceived me?!" Mrs. Xie seems to be a little bit of a bull's horn, and regards her granddaughter, who is only twelve years old, as an old treacherous person, and I don't know if she really thinks so in her heart.
However, Xie Mulin knew what was going on, the courtyard wall may not be Xie Yingrong's ghost, but this wall must have fallen in the previous life, and it is very likely that Mrs. Bian was injured because of this, but it was not life-threatening. Xie Yingrong just used this piece of information to make herself a hero in saving people, and it is not wrong to say that it was a bitter plan she deliberately set up.
Of course, Xie Mulin couldn't tell Mrs. Xie the truth about these things.
Mrs. Xie was still angry: "The third girl is so cunning, unscrupulous in order to achieve her goals. Since she can pretend to be sick this time in order to prevent Hui Yatou from taking her home, why can't she collapse a wall so that she can pretend to be a hero who saves people and be carried into the gate of Bian's house? She has put so much effort into it, just for Cheng Du alone, I want to see if she has the ability to succeed, and what will happen in the end! ”
Xie Mulin said to her: "The family is trying to persuade the eldest sister to come to Huyin, and my father sent a letter from Beiping, which also instructed her." At that time, the eldest sister will take the third sister back from Jinling together. Old lady, you don't have to bother to go back to Beijing, just stay here, it won't be long before you can see the third sister. When the time comes, whatever you ask her, with the cleverness of the third sister, she will definitely answer your questions. ”
As for Xie Yingrong's calculations, it will naturally be impossible to succeed at that time. When she has the opportunity to return to Jinling, Cheng Du will definitely be married.
Old Madam Xie snorted coldly: "You can really get people back." That dead girl is very cunning, and she is ruthless to herself, so she may not be obedient. In case she keeps pretending to be seriously ill, Hui Yatou may not be able to force people back. The wise girl is not as good as the three girls, but she is just powerful, but in fact, she is soft-hearted and easy to fool, and she has never been hard-hearted to hurt others. ”
Xie Mulin glanced at her and smiled without saying much.
As the weather gets colder day by day, and the autumn wind becomes stronger day by day, the autumn harvest work in various parts of Huyin has also begun one after another.
The Xie family's three houses also have local land, and the Wen family also has some fields recorded in the name of the dowry, and it is also the autumn harvest season. She sent Ma Luyao out to collect rent, and heard that several teachers from Zhushan Academy who sent students to take the college examination came back, including Niu Daru, who was busy preparing gifts and ordered Xie Xianzhi to send them to Niu's house.
Next, the clan began to prepare for the Chung Yeung Festival again.
At this time, some disturbing news from the outside world also spread to Huyin County. It is said that the heavy rain in the southern Hu, Guangzhou, and southern Zhejiang areas caused disasters, and the autumn grain was lost heavily. In the event of a serious disaster and displaced people going north, the rich areas around Suhu and Hangjia will not be at peace.
