Chapter 885: Temptation
Xie Mulin had just put a secret trick, and he saw the results that night.
Xie Yingrong came to her courtyard in person, lowered her eyebrows and apologized to her: "Yesterday, I was dizzy and said something that shouldn't be said, which made the second sister angry." I apologize to the second sister, and I don't dare to talk nonsense in the future, and I ask the second sister to forgive my sister this time. ”
Xie Mulin stared at her a few times, and saw that she had been maintaining a curtcy posture, if it was too long and her physical strength was exhausted, she would fall down every minute. Since he intended to take the Huairou route, of course Xie Mulin would not let Xie Ying show this ugliness, so he showed a faint smile: "The third sister is serious, if there is any small quarrel between the sisters, just explain it." Since you know that you are wrong and have apologized to me, can I still hold a grudge against you? She didn't personally help Xie Yingrong up, she just smiled and pointed to the empty seat opposite the kang table, "Third sister, sit down." Sweet peach on tea. "The tone of the homely conversation between the sisters does not have to pay attention to any etiquette.
Xie Yingrong stood up straight, secretly relieved, smiled again, and sat on the kang as he said.
Peach came over with tea. Xie Yingrong remembered that this girl was discussing her gossip with her sister Xiaotao in private, and she hated it in her heart, but she was afraid that Xie Mulin would see it, so she hurriedly covered the resentment in her eyes, smiled all over her face, and thanked Xiangtao affectionately: "Thank you, sister." Sister has always been good? My aunt has been missing you lately, and if you are free, you can also go to your aunt to talk. Now it's more convenient to visit the door than in my hometown before, and I don't mind if I want to come to the second sister. ”
Xiangtao glanced at her strangely and pulled the corners of her mouth: "The third girl said that she was laughing." Then he quickly retreated. She is a person who has suffered under Xie Yingrong, so she is not so easy to be deceived by the other party's disguised good attitude!
Xie Mulin didn't wait for Xie Yingrong to make any comments on Xiang Tao's attitude, so he preemptively opened his mouth: "I know that the third sister Su Ri and I are not in harmony, at first because of the incident when I fell into the water, I hated the third sister, and then I ...... There are also the Jiang family brothers, and Cheng Du's matter, and the third sister resents me for refusing to be accommodating. Over time, the knot between you and my sister will remain. But no matter how much you have a knot, you and I are sisters in the family, and there are people who talk and get angry every day, but you won't say words that curse me for not having a good marriage and a future husband for no reason, after all, this is not good for you at all, and I haven't provoked you much recently, so I won't make you dizzy and scold. So...... Why did the third sister say that? I don't ask you what sources you have, you just tell me, what's wrong with Xiao Rui, I shouldn't agree to this marriage? ”
Xie Yingrong was stunned when she heard this, and then she was speechless. What could she say? She certainly can't tell the truth! But if you don't say what will happen in the future, only Xiao Rui's conditions, except for being a concubine and his mother-in-law's difficulty, don't seem to have any black spots. It's her Xie Yingrong, if she didn't know that Xiao Rui would not end well in the future, even if she knew that the other party was a concubine, she would happily accept such a prominent marriage, right? After all, he is also the son of a family of relatives, the real power of the General's Mansion, and one of the henchmen of the future new monarch, regardless of family background, future, appearance, talent, and character...... Nothing to fault with!
But if she can't come up with a reason, how can she explain what she said on impulse yesterday?
Xie Mulin made it clear that there was no obvious conflict between the two recently, she couldn't be angry and talking nonsense, Xiao Rui had no grudge against her, what did she do cursing people for no reason? If it was directly said that it was because she was not angry that Mulin got a good family business, the reparation scene she did tonight would be in vain! If Xie Mulin sues in front of her father and mother-in-law, she wants to be a well-behaved and obedient daughter, so that her father Xie Pu's plan to marry herself to Wanlong will be in vain!
Biting his lip, Xie Yingrong could only forcibly justify: "I just heard the news that the third prince has a vendetta with Xiao Rui...... The third prince is narrow-minded, even if he is a cousin, once he offends him, he will never forgive! I was worried that Xiao Rui would be unlucky in the future, and he would affect the second sister, so I persuaded my sister to think twice, and I really didn't have any bad intentions! ”
Xie Mulin raised his eyebrows: "I said that if I don't ask about your sources, I will never ask about it, but what if Xiao Rui offends the third prince?" First, he just didn't agree to stay in the capital to serve the three princes, but chose to go to the border to kill the enemy, not openly betraying the three princes; Second, Lord Xiao Mingde, the general of the Zhu Kingdom, did not agree to help the third prince seize the heir, and the eldest prince Xiao did not get much close to the third prince, Xiao Rui acted according to his father and brother's orders, what was inappropriate? Thirdly, Xiao Rui is now on an errand in the Yan Palace, and he is very appreciated by His Royal Highness the Yan King, even if he is the third prince, it is impossible to cross His Royal Highness the Yan King, which is not good for Xiao Rui, right? As for our family, my father is an official of the imperial court, with remarkable political achievements and a clean official reputation, and the third prince is not a prince, he will not become the lord of the world in the future, but he is just a prince, and at most he will be a prince who doesn't care about things in the future, what are we afraid of? ”
Xie Yingrong listened to her all the way, and his expression changed all the way, and Xie Mulin guessed a few things that had happened in his "previous life" all the way.
It seems that the third prince defeated the fourth prince who was the most favored by the emperor in his last life, succeeded to the throne, and because he hated Xiao Rui for not helping him win the heir, he was ruthless to Xiao Rui? For some reason, King Yan failed to stop it, and most of his influence will drop greatly in the future, and he doesn't know if his life safety is guaranteed. It's cheap dad Xie Pu, the situation of the two lives is different, and even Xie Yingrong can't guess whether he has the ability to protect his son-in-law. But if even King Yan can't keep his own son, others will naturally not have that ability.
So, what really happened in the last life? The third prince has achieved nothing at the moment, he has not even received the support of his maternal uncle, and he has not married the cousin of the Xiao family as a concubine, and he has been reprimanded by the emperor one after another. Why did he turn over and become a master? Could it be that something bad happened to the four princes after that, so that the emperor could only choose the third prince?
No, maybe the situation has changed in two lifetimes, Xie Pu didn't have an accident, but the Cao family suffered a lot of losses, under the butterfly effect, you can't simply use the events of the previous life to speculate on the future development of the situation. In the previous life that Xie Yingrong knew, the third prince had everything going smoothly and became the final winner, but isn't he so smooth now? It's still early, and when Xiao Rui confirms the identity of the prince of Yan, he will no longer be a little general's concubine at the mercy of others. Xie Mulin thought that he could remind Xiao Rui to be wary of the three princes, and he didn't have to shout and kill, he just needed to make sure that the latter would not ascend to the supreme position.
Anyway, now that the holy family is on the four princes, they only need to support the emperor and push the four princes to the throne, then all misfortune will not happen.
Xie Mulin quickly found out through a few small words of small talk that there was no major war in the north in the past life, and there was no chaos in Beiping, and King Yan did not have an accident because of the war, and he didn't seem to have any fatal terminal illness, so he was more sure in his heart.
She looked at Xie Yingrong and smiled gently. Such a useful golden finger, since Xie Yingrong can't use it, then it's cheap for her!
