A few days after Xie Yinghui, she went to Chengenhou Mansion every day to report.

It's just that Duchess Chengen's condition has not improved at all, and she has not been sober for a while. Xie Yinghui can't do much except stay at the patient's bedside every day to take care of her. Cao Wenyan had long been tired of this kind of life of servants, and when she saw that someone could share it for her, she gave up her position to Xie Yinghui and hid aside to be lazy.

Xie Yinghui was silent, and she also stopped the other girls from talking. She listened to the noise outside every day, and her heart sank day by day. She was completely desperate for the Cao family, and she was not even interested in telling anyone about the third prince's calculation of the crown prince.

Anyway, as long as Ma Yurong knows. The Cao family is now rotten even at the roots, if it is really calculated, it is because they are looking for death!

Xie Yinghui's heart hardened, and she numbly watched her grandmother fall asleep, but her heart was no longer turbulent.

When this letter was sent out of the capital, the Duchess of Chengen was still alive. But after it reached the hands of the Xie family, no one knew what the state of Duchess Cheng'en was.

Xie Mulin looked at Xie Xianzhi's gloomy and sad expression, and tried to divert his attention and make him not so sad: "Now it seems that the Cao family shouldn't do anything to the eldest sister, right?" Time is too tight, and with so many people present, the big sister should be safe. ”

Xie Xianzhi was stunned before he realized what she was saying.

They were worried before, Cheng Enhou and his wife thought that her stepmother was seriously ill and that she was deliberately begging for death to cause trouble to the Cao family, so they planned to force Cao Shuqing to return to Beijing under the pretext of serving illness, and then use Cao Shuqing to threaten Duchess Chengen to give up her plan to find death. Since Cao Shuqing is too far away, just in case, several children in Pingnan Bofu are also the grandsons of Duchess Chengen, and they can also be used as hostages. As for Xie Yinghui's granddaughter, because Duchess Chengen had obviously shown an indifferent attitude before, her value as a hostage was not as good as that of others, so she was ignored.

But except for a concubine sent to deal with the matter, everyone else hid out of the city. In case Cao Shuqing refuses to return to Beijing, Cheng Enhou and his wife have no one available, and even Xie Yinghui may have to take advantage of it. Xie Mulin and Xie Xian's brothers and sisters have been urging Xie Yinghui to come to Huyin as soon as possible, hoping that she can avoid the calculations of the Cao family.

However, now that Duchess Cheng'en is unconscious, her condition is deteriorating faster than expected, and I am afraid that even if Chengenhou and his wife want to find hostages to threaten their stepmother, they will not be able to communicate with their stepmother. Xie Yinghui is temporarily safe, looking at the tone of her letter to her family, it is estimated that she is determined to finish the funeral for her grandmother before she will consider leaving Beijing.

Xie Xianzhi understood Xie Mulin's words, and he was secretly relieved in his heart. But when he thought of his grandmother's situation, he was so sad that he couldn't do it. He looked at his second brother Xie Jinzhi and asked hesitantly, "Should I also go back to Beijing...... At least to send your grandmother on one last ride? ”

Without waiting for Xie Mulin to speak, Xie Jinzhi refuted it first: "No!" Big brother, my father has repeatedly said that you can't go back to Beijing until you get a reputation for being a famous person, have you forgotten it? Although Duchess Cheng'en is your grandmother, she has long lost her love for you, so why should you risk it for her? ”

Xie Xianzhi said sadly: "Anyway, her old man has always hurt me for more than ten years." I...... At least go back and kowtow to her, right? ”

Xie Mulin said: "If the eldest brother really wants to do this, don't rush at this time. Not to mention that the weather is cold, but your body is not strong enough, you are really in a hurry to return to Beijing, but I am afraid that you will get sick on the way, not only will you not be able to see off the Duchess of Chengen, but you may not even be able to save your own life. Do you want our whole family to worry about you? Besides, it's still unclear what the Cao family's attitude is towards you.

"The eldest sister was biased towards their family at the beginning, but she was also abandoned by them afterwards, without any flesh and blood, which shows how cold the Cao family is. Big brother, you have refuted the Cao family's face at the beginning, what if they want to get angry and find trouble with you? You don't have to make any big moves, you just need to pour a basin of cold water on you in the cold weather, and you can take half a small life. Therefore, you might as well wait for news at home, make sure that Duchess Chengen really went, and then inquire where she was buried, or where she stopped, and wait until the weather warms up, and then it is not too late to kowtow in front of the spirit. When the time comes, you go with your eldest sister, carry the Cao family behind your back, do another ritual for her, and tell her about your many difficulties, and she will not be surprised. ”

Xie Xianzhi hesitated. This practice...... Wouldn't it be too coping?

Xie Jinzhi persuaded him in a low voice: "The second sister's words are reasonable. After Duchess Chengen has encountered the cold and unfilial piety of the Cao family, she will understand how rare your filial piety is, and she will understand. If you want to do more, write to your eldest sister and ask her to do her filial piety for you. ”

Old Mrs. Xie watched the three of them talking in a low voice, feeling a little unhappy, and slapped the table and said, "What are you talking about?!" I'm not dead yet! It's obviously my grandson, who will I kowtow to? The poisonous woman of the Cao family is also worthy?! Not to mention any flesh and blood affection, she knew that her son and daughter were going to harm my son, why didn't she pity her poor grandson and granddaughter and remind us of the Xie family? Now that her son is dead, and her daughter refuses to come back to fulfill her filial piety, this is called retribution! She has taught her own children to be evil scoundrels, so she cannot blame other people's children for not being filial to her. God is willing to let her die until this time, which is already a blessing! What are you still sad about her? Hui girl is in the capital, I can't control it, but it is obvious that you are under my nose, and I, as a grandmother, can still stop you. Don't go! ”

Old Mrs. Xie was domineering, Xie Xianzhi was speechless, so he could only bow his head silently.

Mrs. Xie thought that he was obedient and obedient, and she was finally satisfied, and pointed to Xie Mulin: "I haven't finished reading the letter, what else did I say later?" ”

Xie Mulin took the letter and looked at it, in fact, Xie Yinghui basically finished what she wanted to say in the letter, and the words of greeting her family were the words at the end. Because she knew that Mrs. Xie had moved back to Xiejiajiao, she added an extra sentence to greet her old man.

Mrs. Xie pouted: "I am really filial, I should have asked for peace from the beginning of the letter." I only wrote it now, could it be that I forgot about it, and I added it at the end, right? ”

Xie Mulin laughed dryly: "Isn't it that the third sister's condition is more critical, and the eldest sister is in a hurry to mention it first?" The old lady has always loved the big sister, why should she be picky about such trivial things? ”

Old Mrs. Xie rolled her eyes: "What else can I do now besides being picky and picky?!" ”

Xie Mulin smiled but didn't answer, and glanced at the content behind the letter: "The eldest sister also asked the messenger to bring back the New Year's gift, there are a lot of new books, stationery and other things produced by the Internal Affairs Office, and there are still new materials." By the way, your gift to the old lady is listed separately. Although it is not as good as in previous years, it is not a good thing that ordinary eunuchs can get. Old lady, how filial your big sister is to you, you should be less critical of her! ”

Mrs. Xie was secretly happy in her heart, but she still didn't believe it: "It's really fake? Where else could she go to get things from the Internal Affairs Office now? Didn't you say that the Cao family didn't care about her anymore? ”

Xie Mulin said with a smile: "The Cao family is anxious now, even if you take care of her, I'm afraid you can't take care of it." Looking at the eldest sister's tone, it seems that the eldest princess of Yongning's mansion prepared a rich New Year's gift for her, except for a few small things she left, almost all of them were packed and sent back, among which the most luxurious horses were all filial to the old lady. If you don't believe it, just look at the gift list attached to the letter. ”

"It's okay for her to have filial piety." Old Mrs. Xie curled the corners of her mouth, the anger on her face disappeared, she changed her smile to a smiling face, and stretched out her hand to Xie Mulin, "Where's the gift list?" Show me! ”
