Xie Mulin's words suddenly made Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yinghui vigilant.

Xie Yinghui was still a little annoyed: "At that time, I only thought that my mother took me as a hostage to curry favor with the surname Fang, and I was angry when I patronized it, but I didn't ask carefully!" Mother said that my father hated her and the surname Fang, and deliberately made a friend with the surname Fang angry, causing that person to be punished by Yan Wangfu, I only felt that the person deserved it, but I forgot to ask him who he was, and how my father embarrassed him. Think about the person surnamed Fang, in the past, his father didn't recruit him or provoke him, and he had to work with his third uncle to put his father to death, but now that he has a grudge, how can the person surnamed Fang give up? ! ”

Xie Xianzhi frowned: "This matter needs to be asked clearly!" It just so happens that tomorrow I plan to go to the Chengenhou Mansion to thank my eldest cousin Wentai, so I will simply stop by and inquire. ”

Just now in the tea room, her mother Cao Shuqing said as if she could reconcile with the Yan Wangfu and help the Cao family get on the connections in the northern army, if he told the Chengenhou Mansion that she and Fang Wenshan not only failed to reconcile with the Yan Wangfu, but also had a new holiday, it would probably be unfavorable for her, right? But when it comes to his father's safety, he can't care about it anymore. It was the mother who chose to lie, and she could only bear any consequences that came from it. Anyway, she is a woman in the house, and Fang Wenshan is only derogatory in disguise, but she is still a high-level military attaché, and the Chengenhou Mansion will not kill her. At worst, it was just to expel her from the Cao clan, but her life was not hindered.

Hengzhu's mother Cao Shuqing is now almost against her mother's relatives and friends, and she can't borrow a little bit of the Cao family's strength, but she just uses the name of the Cao family to maintain the dignity of a noble lady outside. If Fang Wenshan was as affectionate as her mother said, and didn't care about her identity as the daughter of the Cao family, then she probably wouldn't care if she was expelled by the Cao clan. This kind of thing will not spread all over the world, and my mother is in a distant place such as Shaanxi, even if there is only one Fang Wenshan stepwife left, it should not be too sad.

Xie Xianzhi made up his mind, and heard his sister Xie Yinghui say: "Then I will continue to go to the eldest princess's mansion tomorrow and find a way to inquire about the news from the palace or the clan." ”

Xie Mulin asked her: "Ma Juma looks like this now, the eldest princess of Yongning has not even entered the palace many times, let alone has to socialize everywhere, and Miss Ma also serves in front of her father's hospital bed every day, and rarely goes out." If you go to them, can you really find out useful news? Don't disturb other people's business, but provoke complaints. ”

Xie Yinghui said angrily: "Are you a fool for me? Of course I won't ask Yurong to help me inquire about this kind of thing. I just want to shake my red and swollen face in front of the eldest princess, cry a few times, and say a little by the way. This also saves the Hou Mansion or the Fang family from being bad afterwards, deliberately spreading rumors outside that I am not filial and contradicts my mother. The eldest princess is hurting me now, and when she sees me like this, and then thinks of her mother's bad reputation, she will only think that she is unkind, and she will never blame me for half a sentence. In this way, even if I leave the capital in the future, someone will ruin my reputation here, and there will be nobles who can defend me! ”

Her wishful thinking is loud!

As for the inquiry, of course, she did not forget it. Ma Yurong can complain there, and if she wants to hear the news, she has to find Lu Feiyun. The eldest princess of Yongning and Ma Yurong have not been in the mood to enter the palace to curry favor with the queen mother recently, or to socialize with the clan, but Lu Feiyun's mother is a county lord of the clan, and she is quite well-informed. Moreover, Lu Feiyun's father is Shaoqing of Dali Temple, if Fang Wenshan's friend really committed an accident in Beiping and was severely punished by Yanwangfu, Dali Temple, who is in charge of the world's prison, will definitely hear the rumors. This is a more reliable source than Ma Yurong!

Xie Yinghui also said hatefully: "If that bastard surnamed Fang really did something to his father, don't think I will let him go!" I will complain to Uncle Lu Shi and ask them to ask the surname Fang for his sin! ”

Xie Mulin and Xie Xianzhi glanced at each other, both of them were a little surprised.

Xie Xianzhi said: "The eldest sister is right, this is very appropriate. It's just that you are already injured, and now you have a new injury, Ming'er will go to the eldest princess's mansion again, but you have to be careful. Do you need me to accompany you? ”

Xie Yinghui waved her hand: "No need, I want to go by myself!" Brother, you only went to Chengenhou Mansion, and when outsiders asked, they only said that they were going to see their mother. Although I went to the Eldest Princess's Mansion with an injury, it would be a little embarrassing for people to see it, but in the past year, I have been embarrassed many times, and I don't care about this time. As long as I can save my reputation, what can I do if I lose face again? Anyway, I'm leaving the capital soon! She snorted coldly, "When the time comes, I will say that my mother beat me when she heard that I was unwilling to threaten my biological father for her new love, and no one dares to say that I disobey my biological mother and is unfilial!" ”

Because in the eyes of the world, filial piety to one's father seems to be higher than one's filial piety to one's mother. And Cao Shuqing's behavior in Xie Yinghui's mouth is against morality and ethics, so naturally no one will accuse Xie Yinghui of anything, but praise her for being filial and sensible.

It's just that Xie Xianzhi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought that his sister's word spread and what kind of situation his mother Cao Shuqing would face. But what could he say? Looking at his sister who was beaten and wronged tonight, can he stop her innocuous revenge? That's it, anyway, my mother entered Beijing secretly, and she didn't plan to stay for a long time, so she left immediately. Shaanxi is so far away, the rumors in Beijing can't be spread, and it can't hinder his mother or anything, so he shouldn't have heard it.

Compared with the tangled and resentful mood of the brothers and sisters, Xie Mulin thought more simply: "The eldest sister's idea is very good, and it is very likely that Dali Temple and Chengenhou will bring some news." I can't be lazy, I'm going to go out tomorrow and go to the shop in Luo Lang Lane. After the beginning of the spring, the business of the shop improved, and the shopkeeper Mao was busy, so I didn't have to call people over for questioning, delaying their serious business. I went over and asked the shopkeeper Mao if there was any news from Beijing. If Daddy really has something, our own caravan should be the first to know, and it is more reliable than the news from outside. ”

Now that the north and the south of the Yangtze River have just started spring, the northern canal has not yet opened, but the south of the Yangtze River has resumed transportation. After the catastrophe last spring, the scale of the Xie family firm has been greatly reduced, and now it can only maintain one or two boats of goods in and out every month, and basically it takes the canal and waterway. First, it is familiar, and there are old contacts along the road that have been well connected in the past, and secondly, the cost is cheaper than land transportation, which is suitable for the actual situation of today's Xie family firm.

In November, the Xie family firm in Beiping drove the last cargo ship, and the ship's escort was the golden shopkeeper and Ye Jinrong and others. They arrived in Jiangnan before the lunar month, did not return to Beijing, but went directly to all parts of Jiangnan to go around, taking advantage of the New Year's pass to take the goods to the south, by the way to purchase the goods to be shipped to the north in the spring of the following year, pay the deposit, agree on the date of pick-up, and then return to the capital with a small number of high-priced goods for the New Year. This is also to avoid the Cao family's forces in the capital.

Now that spring is coming, the golden shopkeeper took Ye Jinrong to Huyin, took a turn around the south of the Yangtze River, picked up the goods ordered for the New Year, and then went north by boat to Beiping.

In such a long winter, the news from the north and south of the Xie family business was cut off, but it will definitely recover after the beginning of spring. According to the practice mentioned by the shopkeeper Mao, at this time, there should be a letter from Beiping to the south, informing the people in the business name what is popular in Beiping this spring, as well as the latest local news. If Xie Pu encountered any trouble, there would definitely be rumors.

Xie Mulin went to the shop, just to get first-hand information.
