Chapter 138: The Handle
Xie Mulin was in the main room, helping Wen iron a newly made straight jacket, but his ears listened attentively to the movement outside.
Hearing Xie Pu's order for Wanqin to retreat, she walked to the window, opened a crack, and watched Wanqin go out of the yard and meet a pair of children who had been waiting for a long time. I don't know what Xie Yingfen and Xie Hanzhi said to Wanqin, the mother and son hugged their heads and cried.
After crying, Wanqin took a child in one hand and left, just looking at her expression, she didn't seem to be so relieved, but her face revealed a little sadness.
Xie Mulin closed the window and wondered a little. She shook her head, lifted the curtain and walked outside: "Daddy, your punishment for Aunt Qin is quite light. ”
Xie Pu sighed: "She didn't attack me in the end, but wanted to prevaricate the people of Pingnanbo Mansion first, so it can be seen that her heart is still more towards our family." ”
Xie Mulin nodded in understanding: "This time the fourth sister and the fourth brother can be regarded as a great achievement, if they hadn't found out and reported it in time, we wouldn't have found out that Aunt Wanqin called the people from Pingnanbo Mansion threatened." In case Aunt Qin really can't save her brother, she is forced to be in a hurry, she is dizzy for a while, and she really drugged her father, it will be really bad. For the sake of the four brothers and four sisters, forgive Aunt Qin for once. She also has her problems. ”
Xie Pu snorted coldly: "No matter how difficult she is, it's not my fault, if you want to blame it, blame the Cao family!" "He is a typical feudal scholar, and he doesn't feel that Wanqin, who has been a concubine for himself for more than ten years and gave birth to a pair of children for himself, still thinks of the old master of the Cao family, and can't recognize his identity as the wife of the Xie family, what is worth forgiving. He treats Wanqin well, but the other party wants to despise his safety in order to save his mother's brother, which is simply unreasonable!
He picked up the delicate little box on the table: "However, this time she gave me an unexpected surprise...... What does Ping Nanbo do with such a medicine when he has nothing to collect? There were twelve pills here, which was only a quarter of the amount in his hand...... Where is he going to spend the rest? ”
He seems to ...... really caught the handle of Ping Nanbo.
A handle that can ask for the other person's life.
Xie Mulin saw that Xie Pu was silent in thought, and he couldn't guess what he was thinking, so he asked, "Ping Nanbo actually instructed someone to poison his father?" What is he trying to kill you? He has already obtained the Xie family's property, and the Cao family and Li have also succeeded, what is he not satisfied with? ”
Wen came out of the inner room with a worried face: "Could it be that he wants to take a breath out of the failure of the previous conspiracy?" Or is it because the Cao family is going to marry that General Fang, and General Fang can't tolerate the master? ”
Xie Mulin said: "Whether Fang Wenshan can marry the Cao family depends on the face of the emperor and empress." He just annoyed the emperor, he didn't keep a low profile for a while, and he still had to die at such a time, is it really too long? ”
At this time, Xie Jinzhi and Xie Huizhi came in from outside. Hearing Xie Mulin say what happened before, Xie Jinzhi nodded: "That's right." My third brother and I managed to inquire, and Empress Cao had previously said that she would let Pingnanbo Mansion return the Xie family's property, and this matter was true. Because Ping Nanbo bribed the Chengenhou Mansion and the second room of the Cao family, the two families stood by and watched, and the matter of returning the property was over.
However, what Empress Cao said is still there, she just doesn't ask for the time being, when Pingnanbo Mansion makes her unhappy, she will repeat the old words at any time. When the time comes, the Chengenhou Mansion and the second room of the Cao family will no longer intercede for the Pingnan Bo Mansion. Therefore, Ping Nanbo planned to kill his father once and for all, and then use the eldest brother's identity as his father's eldest son to completely annex the Xie family's wealth, and restrain the rest of the Xie family by the way, so as not to hinder him again. ”
Xie Huizhi pouted and said: "Greed is insufficient, the Cao family has such a greedy and vicious brother, if you don't guard against him, forget it, you actually connive at him to do evil, sooner or later you will kill yourself!" ”
Xie Pu showed a meaningful smile: "Isn't it?" Greedy, vicious...... And stupid! ”
Xie Mulin looked at Xie Pu: "Daddy, can we use this incident to save the eldest brother?" But you don't have to go to Ping Nanbo, people like him can't communicate at all, so it's better to find the Chengenhou Mansion, right? I think that Empress Cao and Marquis Cheng'en will still consider the reputation of the Cao family for the sake of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
Xie Jinzhi also came up with an idea: "We don't have to go directly to Chengenhou's mansion, just find a way to let someone else deliver a message to Chengenhou, and tell him that Ping Nanbo wanted to poison his father, but he was arrested by his father, and the human and physical evidence are available, and my father is preparing to sue the emperor, see how he reacts?" ”
Xie Mulin asked him: "Is this to let Chengenhou put pressure on Ping Nanbo and let him put the eldest brother back?" ”
Xie Jinzhi: "Now, only Empress Cao and Chengenhou can restrain Ping Nanbo's words and deeds. Although Ping Nanbo didn't take his brothers and sisters very seriously, and had other selfish plans, at the moment, he didn't dare to offend them. ”
Xie Pu was noncommittal, and carefully put away the small brocade box: "This matter is well known to my father, and you don't have to say much." In the future, I would like to take care of your four brothers. I see that his complexion is not very good, and he has been sick for these days, but I am afraid that his homework will be delayed. ”
Xie Huizhi smiled: "Father, don't worry. I see that Xiao Si'er is just nesting in the house all day long, not moving, eating less, moving less, and raising too delicately, so he will be unenergetic. If you're like me, running and jumping all day long, eating and eating seas, what are you afraid of getting sick? I'll take him to do more activities, and he'll get better soon! ”
Xie Jinzhi also expressed his willingness to make up for his younger brother's homework.
Wen reminded their brothers: "It's good to take Xiaosi to play at home, don't go out casually." There are a lot of people outside, and if you encounter a bad person, it's not fun. ”
Xie Jinzhi and Xie Huizhi responded.
Xie Pu began to take the child out. Xie Mulin went out with the two brothers bored, and complained in a low voice: "Daddy has always been like this lately, only talking halfway, and he is about to drive people away, so that I am always confused, and I can't figure out what he is thinking." ”
Xie Huizhi also felt the same way: "What should I do now?" Qingsong is still waiting for me to deliver a message to my eldest brother, what should I deliver? ”
Xie Jinzhi was also a little troubled. He originally planned to ask Jiang Shaoliang to deliver a message to the second room of the Cao family, so that the Chengenhou Mansion would know the good deeds done by Pingnanbo, but Xie Pu didn't say a word accurately, and he was not good at making claims......
In the end, he could only discuss with his younger siblings: "Let's give a message to the eldest brother first, and let him improvise in the Pingnan Bo Mansion." At the very least, he has to take care of his body first, otherwise even if he is given the opportunity to escape, he will not be able to support it. ”
Then, he had to discuss with his father before he could decide whether to meet Jiang Shaoliang and talk to the other party about the recent events at home. It would be great if the Chengenhou Mansion could put pressure on Ping Nanbo.
Three days later, the shopkeepers of several industries in Suzhou and Songjiang rushed to the capital with a few account offices and men. When the shopkeepers went to meet the owner Xie Pu and discuss future plans, Wanqin's brother Ye Jinrong also came to meet his sister.
He heard what happened to Wanqin a few days ago, and very much agreed with his sister's choice: "Of course it's on the side of the Xie family, the eldest sister did the right thing!" Dad is old, old and confused, and he is still partial to his stepmother and a few little ones, where does he care about our life or death? Leave them alone. I'm good now, and I'm just learning more from the shopkeepers. If you can be a big shopkeeper in the future, then it will be beautiful! Who rarely goes back to Bofu to be a minion? ”
Wanqin looked at her younger brother in surprise: "Jin Rong, ...... are you?"
Ye Jinrong raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Sister, I'm not stupid!" You are an aunt and grandmother in the Xie family, and you gave birth to a young master, and you will be blessed in the future. If the Xie family is gone, if you go back to the Cao family, do you want to go back and be a daughter-in-law? It's not a good deal! It's like a businessman's tone.
Wanqin was speechless for a long time, and finally could only smile lightly: "It's great that you can think like this......"
