Chapter 179: Growing Up

Although she was emotionally calm, Xie Yingfen still had a lot of doubts in her heart.

The future second brother-in-law, who always thought that he was just a concubine of the general's mansion, suddenly became a noble person from the palace, which made her a little unsure of what to do for a while.

She asked Xie Hanzhi: "Then the second sister will marry into the Yanwang Mansion in the future?" Will Princess Yan be her mother-in-law? The county lord is her sister-in-law? Our family is actually a family with Lord Yan?! ”

Xie Hanzhi nodded very calmly, but tilted his head and glanced at his fourth sister with some puzzlement: "What is this?" Yan Wangfu is our family's in-laws, isn't it better than the General Mansion of the Zhu Kingdom? The fourth sister has also heard the rumors, right? General Xiao is gone, I heard that he treats our second brother-in-law okay, but Mrs. Xiao thinks she is a virtuous woman outside, but in fact she is not kind to her second brother-in-law at all. There is also the eldest lady of the Xiao family, and now this eldest lady Xiao made a big incident in the capital not long ago, which even caused the Xiao family to lose its reputation. Not to mention that behind the Xiao family, there is also a third prince who has brought bloody rain...... Our Xie family has also been the in-laws of the Cao family in the past, what is the prince of the Cao family, and the fourth sister also knows it in her heart, right? How strong can the Xiao family be compared to the Cao family? Is it a good thing to be in-laws with someone like that? ”

Xie Yingfen thought about the rumored scandal between Miss Xiao Lin and the third prince, and couldn't help but shudder: "You are right. If I want to be a relative of that Miss Xiao, just thinking about it, I can't help but feel numb! If the second brother-in-law is still a concubine in the Xiao family, and the things that happened to the Xiao family some time ago, the father may come directly to the door to withdraw from the family! Thinking about it this way, the second brother-in-law is better to be the son of King Yan. ”

However, Xiao Rui did not break off the relationship with the Xiao family like this, his biological mother Xiao Mingzhu is still the sister-in-law of General Xiao Mingde, but she died early for many years. But Xie Yingfen thought that Xiao Mingzhu was also Xiao Rui, who was pregnant out of wedlock, and couldn't help but sigh: "The Xiao family's tutor is so strange...... At this season, if people know that the second brother-in-law was also born to Miss Xiao before marriage, even if he is the flesh and blood of King Yan, he will definitely be chewed on his tongue! The two generations of girls before and after the Xiao family have had such a thing, and they are all with royal nobles, and the daughters of the Xiao family don't know if they can marry in the future. ”

As she spoke, Xie Yingfen couldn't help but sweat for her second sister Xie Mulin: "In the past, when the second sister and the second brother-in-law were discussing marriage, the second brother-in-law was still in the Xiao family. The second sister almost married into such a family, which makes people feel scary when they think about it. ”

Xie Hanzhi is much calmer than his sister: "What is there to be afraid of?" The second brother-in-law has long left home and is guarding the border in the north. Even if he didn't recognize King Yan's father, he would be far away from the Xiao family. Now in Beiping, also two thousand miles away from the Xiao family, there are rumors boiling in Beijing, and how many people can make trouble with the second brother-in-law? Even if the second sister can only recognize the Xiao family as her mother-in-law, she will not live with the Xiao family. Besides, our family is not a soft persimmon to be pinched by others, can we still let others bully the second sister? ”

Xie Yingfen nodded when she heard this: "That's a good word." However, being able to be in-laws with Yan Wangfu is naturally better than being in-laws with the Xiao family. Not to mention that Princess Yan is more kind and loving than Mrs. Xiao, even the county lord of Yongping is a hundred times stronger than Miss Xiao! No, we shouldn't compare her to the county lord, how can she be a little worthy of being compared to the county lord?! ”

Miss Xie Si was forced to be the follower of her eldest sister in the past, and when she was in the circle of nobles in the capital, it was not that she had not seen Xiao Lin, the eldest lady of the Xiao family, but people didn't take her in their eyes at that time, so she was still a little cautious.

Xie Hanzhi reminded her: "You don't have to say that. Let's just talk about it in private, in the future, when Miss Xiao marries the third prince, she will carefully discuss her intimacy with her second brother-in-law, or a relative of our family, so we have to give some face. ”

Xie Yingfen heard this, and laughed: "What you say is also narrow." That's it, relatives are relatives, anyway, I have a number in my heart! ”

After laughing, she began to look at her brother carefully, and suddenly felt that he seemed to grow faster than she imagined, and that he would only turn twelve years old by the end of the year, but unconsciously, his figure was twitched, and he looked like a half-grown teenager.

Xie Yingfen softened her voice: "Do you know all these things in your heart?" Why didn't you tell me? You and I are compatriots, do you still need to see the outside? ”

Xie Hanzhi felt that there was no need to pay too much attention to this kind of thing: "Anyway, the second brother-in-law is still the same person, his thoughts have not changed, his attitude has not changed, he still comes to the house twice in three days, and he is courteous in front of his father, wife and second sister, so whose son is he, and what does it matter?" Anyway, his identity is not out of reach. The emperor has already had a will, and he doesn't want too many people to know about it, but Yan Wangfu actually just doesn't mention it, and has already informed many people in private, but he still has to worry about the holy decree on the surface. It's the same in our family. There are a lot of people in the family, and someone may leak it out at some point. Even if this is something that will happen sooner or later, there is no need to make our family out of the limelight, right? I don't tell the fourth sister, if there is anything in the future, no one can rely on the fourth sister. ”

Xie Yingfen thought thoughtfully: "That's right...... The girls around me are sometimes not stable enough, and the rough ones in the yard make the mother-in-law even more fond of chewing her tongue. She is also a land-sitting household in Beiping City, and she must go home every month to see, if she hears something at home, she will definitely be unable to help but say something! Besides, there is also an aunt, the aunt may not be a person who can keep the secret, in case it is revealed to the Ye family, the Ye family will go back and tell the Cao family...... "Thinking about it like this, she feels that she doesn't know anything, and it's not a bad thing."

Xie Hanzhi said: "Now among our brothers and sisters, only the third sister still doesn't know. The third sister has not liked to be close to us in the past few years, and there is still some fear of avoiding Yanwangfu in her words and deeds. I don't know what she's thinking, but she must not be happy to see our family in-law with Yanwangfu, so just let her continue to be kept in the dark. When Third Brother Wan comes back from the capital, the eldest sister and second sister will marry one after another, and it will be her turn. What's wrong with letting her get married with peace of mind? Anyway, this matter is not harmful to her at all, in the future, when she arrives in Wanjia, even if she no longer looks down on Yanwangfu in her heart, people in Wanjia have to respect her as a relative of Wangfu, and dare not pinch her at will. ”

Xie Yingfen thought about Mrs. Wan's temperament, and nodded approvingly.

But...... Xie Yingrong is afraid of Yan Wangfu? What's going on? Impossible, right? The Yanwang Mansion is high up, and in the boundary of Beiping, he is the Emperor of the Earth. Xie Yingrong is a concubine, and if she wants to find a marriage with the children of the Hou Mansion, she has to work hard, why can't she look down on the Yan Wangfu? !

Xie Hanzhi couldn't tell why he had such an opinion: "In their words and deeds on weekdays, the third sister can vaguely reveal this meaning, God knows what the reason is?" The wife and the eldest sister and the second sister should have a good idea in their hearts, and they rarely take her out to socialize, presumably because they don't want her to be rude outside? We don't have to take it too seriously, she should be able to get married this year, and there will be a third brother in the future. Mrs. Wan would not let her say anything inappropriate in front of outsiders. The fourth sister just has peace of mind. ”

Xie Yingfen sighed silently when she heard this, and then smiled and touched her brother's head: "Our brother Han has really grown up, and he knows everything." ”

Xie Hanzhi's face flushed slightly, and he dodged her hand: "I'm already an adult!" With that, he raised his chin arrogantly, pursed his lips and strode forward.

Xie Yingfen lowered her head behind her and laughed secretly.
