Chapter 709: Grievances
Xie Mulin hurriedly greeted him out of the front yard and found that although Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yinghui still had a little fatigue on their faces, they were beaming with joy, and they seemed to have encountered something good.
She smiled and asked, "Why did you come back so late?" Big brother and sister seem to be in a good mood, could it be that there is something to be happy about in the Chengenhou Mansion? ”
Without waiting for Xie Xianzhi to speak, Xie Yinghui preemptively said: "What can be happy about in the Chengenhou Mansion?" My mother left us both down for lunch, and I couldn't eat anything, just sitting there was enough to be unappetizing. After dinner, I immediately pulled my brother to say goodbye, not wanting to stay there to see the Cao family's faces. It's just that it was still early at that time, and I thought that the Ma family had washed three today, although they had never held a big banquet, only invited relatives and friends to come to the door, and we could also be cheeky to congratulate Yihe, so I took my brother to go for a walk, and also met Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and Yurong, and chatted until the sun went down before coming back. ”
Xie Xianzhi was still a little embarrassed: "Your eldest sister doesn't know what's wrong today, she suffered some grievances in Chengenhou Mansion, so she told Miss Ma everything, no matter how big or small, even her mother's bad words, she didn't say less." I sat there, weird embarrassed. How can you tell outsiders these things? It's just that she treats Her Royal Highness the eldest princess as her own parent, crying and scolding in front of others, and I can't stop her. ”
Xie Yinghui glared at him: "The Cao family has the face to do it, why don't I have the face to say it?!" What they told us brothers and sisters to do, is that what we should do?! Cao Wentai didn't consider the situation of our brothers and sisters at all, he only knew that it was difficult for a strong man, and I didn't scold him back on the spot, I had already given the Cao family enough face! My eldest aunt even brazenly mentioned my family affairs, saying that Cao Wenheng is no longer done, but there are other children in the Cao family who have not yet said that they are married, and they can re-mention the marriage contract, and they will never treat me badly. Phew! Who rarely marries into their Cao family?! My brother and I are unlucky enough to get rid of the drag of the Cao family for our mother's surname Cao, so we have to be tied to their family for the rest of our lives, and we can't be freed?! ”
Shemulin was taken aback; "What? Mrs. Chengenhou even wants you to marry into the Cao family?! ”
"You think it's ridiculous, right?" Xie Yinghui sneered, "Back then, they ignored me and my brother as a burden, but now there will be a day when they will say good things about us!" It's a pity that that face is insincere at a glance, but it's just to coax us juniors. Mother could still believe it, so she almost agreed on the spot! However, the marriage of our brother and sister is not something that my mother can decide alone, if she wants to force me, it is a big deal that I will never see her again in my life! ”
Xie Xianzhi hurriedly comforted her and said, "Don't be annoyed, eldest sister, didn't I already tell my mother at that time?" My father asked us to go to Peking to see each other's relatives, and he already had a favorite candidate, and he might ask His Royal Highness King Yan to be a matchmaker. There is His Royal Highness King Yan in the town, and his mother doesn't dare to say much. Even the eldest aunt is just talking. She wants to use the marriage to win over our brother and sister, just so that we can do things for her. When this is over, where will we still be in her eyes? ”
Xie Pu may have been optimistic about the marriage of several older children, which is possible, but he said that he would invite His Royal Highness King Yan to be the matchmaker, which is a lie. How many children does Xie Pu have, how can they all have this honor? His Royal Highness King Yan is also too busy. However, when an honest scholar like Xie Xianzhi even knew how to use His Royal Highness King Yan as a shield to deter the Cao family, it can only be said that he has not only grown up in knowledge over the years, but also matured a lot in terms of human sophistication.
Xie Mulin ignored the so-called marriage, and only asked Xie Yinghui: "What does Mrs. Chengenhou want you to do?" ”
Xie Yinghui pursed her lips, pulled Xie Mulin straight into the flower hall, and dismissed the girls and sisters-in-law, leaving only the three brothers and sisters, before telling Xie Mulin: "What else can I do?" Our brother and sister received an envoy from Jiao Yintai to pass the word in front of His Royal Highness King Yan on behalf of the emperor, and this matter must be known to the Cao family! When the Cao family mentioned the matter of the heir of the Yan Wangfu in the court, didn't they want to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince solve a prince who was interested in seizing the prince? Now that I know that there is a way to contact His Royal Highness King Yan, how can I let it go?! They want us to say a few more good words for the three princes in front of His Royal Highness King Yan, so as to facilitate the succession of the three princes, and also said that if His Royal Highness King Yan really doesn't like the third prince, the fourth prince is fine, but it must not be the second prince! ”
The Yan Wangfu is in charge of the northern border army, if the second prince is allowed to succeed to the Yan Wangfu and get this power, it will also be a threat to the prince and the Cao family. The reason why the Cao family prefers the third prince or the fourth prince to become the heirs of King Yan is probably because they have no ability to lead the army. When the former succeeds, the prince has one less threat; The latter succeeded, but the military power in the north did not fall into the hands of those hostile to the prince.
Xie Mulin can also speculate from this that the prince's side is probably deciding to win over the four princes' side as allies. Because the fourth prince could not threaten his throne, and he was favored by the emperor, the prince felt that it was worth wooing.
In this regard, Xie Mulin can only give the crown prince some wax, the emperor has his own ideas about the choice of heir, and the prince's position is not as stable as he thought......
Xie Yinghui was still there and was angry: "This kind of matter of the heirs of the royal family, can my brother and I get involved?!" If His Royal Highness King Yan liked the three princes, he would have promised the emperor a long time ago, and he could delay it until this time?! As for the four princes, it is even more divine will to make its own decisions! Our family can vaguely perceive that the holy will belongs, and we went to persuade His Royal Highness King Yan to choose the fourth prince as the heir, is it too long?! offended two supreme nobles at once, and even affected his father, how will he live in the future! What do I figure out? Is it just to marry into the Cao family?! ”
The key is that when she had not changed in her previous family, she had never taken a fancy to the children of the Cao family's side branches, but she was just fascinated by Cao Wenheng. Why does Mrs. Chengenhou think that she is willing to marry those stupid Cao family gentlemen today? Mrs. Cheng Enhou still thinks those children are fragrant and sweet? The Xie family is not as depressed as she thought it was now, okay?!
What made Xie Yinghui even more angry was the attitude of her mother Cao Shuqing. Cao Shuqing still thinks that she wants to arrange their future, but the arrangements she wants are all for her own sake......
Even if Cao Shuqing wants to return to Fang Wenshan and divorce now, she must please her brother and sister-in-law to ensure her rich and comfortable life, and there is no reason to sacrifice her biological children who left her early again, right?
Thinking of this, Xie Yinghui couldn't help but redden.
Xie Mulin looked at her red eyes and asked with concern, "What's wrong with the eldest sister?" What other grievances have you suffered in the Cao family? ”
"I'm fine." Xie Yinghui sniffed and said calmly, "Anyway...... So be it. My brother and I went to the Chengenhou Mansion to ask for peace, but we just had to pay the full courtesy. Now that the etiquette has been exhausted, there is no need to look at their faces again. As for the mother...... She doesn't accept our affection, she still has to rely on the Cao family to live, and she won't listen to anything we say. Anyway, my brother and I are just passing through the capital, and we can only let my mother do it for herself in the future. If she does become homeless, my brother and I will still take care of her. Now...... We can't do anything about it. ”
Xie Xianzhi coughed lightly and tried to change the topic: "That...... We were at Ma's house, and I heard something from Her Royal Highness the eldest princess......"
"Yes, yes, that's the right thing!" Xie Yinghui quickly snatched her brother's words, and a smile appeared on her face again, "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess said that she would use Guiyuan to hold a banquet and invite Her Royal Highness King Yan and all your relatives and friends!" We don't have a few days left, and we need to get ready! ”
