Chapter 66: Changing Face
Although Du's mother was very loyal to the Cao family, and knew that she was only on the order of the Cao family to come to the Xie family to spread the word, this did not prevent her from thinking more about her future situation.
She didn't want to give her life for her master, or sacrifice her future and dignity. She just wants to follow the Cao family, strive for more trust and reuse of the Cao family, and enjoy more wealth and glory.
Although she and Mother Qian are colleagues, they are fundamentally different. This may be the reason why Cao's trust her is not as good as trusting Qian's mother.
Mother Du's entanglement and hesitation, after hearing Wen's words again, immediately dissipated.
Wen said to his daughter: "Ming'er, I will go to Dali Temple to see the master and tell him about this ridiculous incident tonight!" With him to speak, Cao's don't want to make any fuss about my daughter's marriage! The Jiang family's marriage was withdrawn, and the people who couldn't even withdraw from the marriage in person didn't understand the slightest etiquette, so they didn't have to wronged my son, and it was a good thing to quit! ”
Du's mother was listening, and she suddenly stopped being entangled. Of course, she knew that the Cao family had sent Gui Zhen to Dali Temple to see Xie Pu during the day, and she was looking forward to coaxing Xie Pu to entrust the Xie family's wealth to Pingnanbo's mansion. Xie Pu said at the time that it took time to think about it, and it was not done yet, what if after hearing Wen's complaint, he was dissatisfied with the Cao family and refused to hand over the Xie family's wealth to Pingnanbo Mansion for "temporary management"? Property is the big thing, and Xie Yingzhen's marriage is just a small section. The Cao family was just suspicious of some of the words and deeds of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Pingnanbo, Cheng, and left a daughter of the Xie family in hand, just in case. But those troubles can be solved by other means, and property is the most important thing at hand.
Mother Du had enough reasons to go back and persuade the Cao family to change her mind, so she immediately changed her face again, and said with a smile: "Second wife, don't be angry, our wife is also kind, for fear that the future of a few young masters and young ladies will not be smooth, so she has the heart to help." The Xie family is not in a good situation now, and it is a last resort that his wife will propose to make peace. There is really no way, the nobles in the palace ......" Mother Du hinted at Queen Cao, "I was afraid that the lord's lawsuit would affect His Royal Highness the Prince, so I ordered the wife to draw a line with the Xie family." Our wives are reluctant, but our arms can't reach our thighs, so what can we do? had to act in front of people to play such a play, so that outsiders would think that she really wanted to reconcile with the master. In fact, in our wife's heart, she is still the housewife of the Xie family, and she is still contributing to the master's lawsuit! ”
Everyone looked at her with blank expressions. Who believes? Cao threw a group of old and weak women and children on the street at night, turned around and left; As soon as Du's mother came, she put on a show in front of the Xie family to play prestige, and she had said all the unpleasant words, so she put on a smiling face and said that she was just acting? This change of face also becomes too fast, too fake!
However, there are still people who are unwilling to accept reality.
Mrs. Xie asked Du's mother hopefully, "Are you telling the truth?" Cao's previous ruthlessness was all a lie? ”
Mother Du smiled and approached Mrs. Xie: "Of course!" How can our wife say that she also gave birth to the eldest young master and the eldest lady, how can she be indifferent to the biological father of the two children? But it's not easy for the wife, the Cao family is now her only remaining backer, and the master's case still depends on the Cao family's efforts, she is disobedient, isn't it a mistake for the master's life? ”
Mrs. Xie was skeptical, but she couldn't help but feel a little moved. She relied on the Cao family and enjoyed the wealth and glory for more than ten years, and firmly believed that the Cao family could do anything, without such a prominent in-law, she was simply distressed to death. Now that someone told her that this in-law had not been lost, and that she could continue to rely on her, she immediately left her with the previous resentment and anger.
She grabbed Du's mother's hand tightly: "If you just want to act, it doesn't matter, we can cooperate with her to act, but she must not really abandon us." Xianzhi and Sister Hui are my son's flesh and blood, and they are only with my son. My son is well, and they will have no worries about the future. Even if your wife thinks about your children, you can't leave my son alone! Don't worry, as long as my son can come out safely, clear his name, and continue to live a peaceful life as before, I won't blame your wife for these two days, and I will hurt her as much as before in the future. No, it hurts her more than ever! Everything at home is left to her, and she can do whatever she wants! Even if her son Xie Pu doesn't agree, she will use filial piety to pressure him to agree.
A trace of sarcasm flashed on Du's mother's face, but she was saying good things in her mouth: "Don't worry, old lady, your own family, everything is easy to say." Didn't our wife leave the master? Those words are all for outsiders, just to deceive outsiders! ”
Old Lady Xie nodded again and again. Seeing that she was about to be successfully fooled by Mother Du, Xie Mulin sneered beside him: "In this case, when I went to see my father with my mother Ming'er, I should have told him about it, so as not to let him misunderstand my aunt." ”
Du's mother was stunned and said with a smile: "Ming'er, our wife is also going to see the master." These words, our wife will say to the master, there is no need to drive the second girl. ”
Xie Mulin said lightly: "Uncle Niang defends herself by herself, how can she compare to us to prove it for her?" I'm afraid that my father won't believe it, but I will misunderstand my aunt even more. There is also the matter of the Jiang family, we should also tell our father, lest my father still think that Jiang Shilang is a good friend worthy of trust, and if he knows some inappropriate things about him, he will also keep silent for the sake of friendship, but he will put himself in a more unfavorable situation. ”
Mother Du's face changed when she heard this, and before she could say anything, Xie Mulin turned her head and said to Mrs. Xie: "Old lady, Dali Temple detains Daddy, doesn't you just want him to confess?" But Daddy hasn't done anything to be greedy for money, what can he recruit? But if he recruits some corrupt officials he knows, and is even willing to testify against them, maybe the people of Dali Temple will let his father go? The Jiang family used to be our in-laws, and my father saw it for the sake of his in-laws, so he saved face for Jiang Shilang, and would not mention what he had done. But now that the Jiang family has turned their faces and is ruthless, Dad naturally doesn't have to worry about anything anymore. ”
Mrs. Xie thought deeply: "That's a good point! As long as you can save your father, what Jiang family and He's family are, they will be unlucky. If he is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust! ”
Mother Du saw that Mrs. Xie, who had been coaxed by herself, was easily persuaded by Xie Mulin, and knew that it would be difficult for her to coax people back. Whether the Jiang family will be unlucky, she doesn't care too much, but she should hurry back to report to the master mother Cao, and if necessary, she has to remind Mrs. Bo to beware.
Anyway, what the Wen family and Xie Ying really want is the certificate of marriage, Geng post, marriage letter and the like, and if they don't want to be manipulated by the Cao family, then give them back the things. The Cao family also has a girl in the side house, and the in-laws belong to the family, and it is not that there are no suitable candidates. Mrs. Cao's worries, there are many solutions, and she can't afford to fight with Wen's mother and daughter.
Du's mother finally left a little disgraced. Mrs. Xie was worried that the Cao family had not completely abandoned the Xie family, and that she could continue to be the backer of the Xie family, so she returned to the room beautifully, and brought her granddaughter Xie Yingrong, who was the most pleasing to the eye at the moment, and asked her to wait for her to sleep.
Xie Yingrong's expression was a little strange, and he looked at Xie Mulin from time to time when he left. Xie Mulin didn't pay attention to it at all, she grabbed her cheap mother Wen and cheap cousin Xie Huizhi, and discussed with them: "We will leave early tomorrow morning." The mother went to visit her father in prison, and the third brother found a way to run to the Cao family. ”
Wen was stunned: "What? ”
Xie Huizhi was also confused: "What is this for?" Didn't the second sister tell me to stay away from the Cao family? ”
Xie Mulin smiled slightly: "It's too embarrassing to be bullied to the head all the time." We can do something about it, too. ”
