In the Xie family's mansion, Xie Yinghui was pulled by her brother Xie Xianzhi with an uncomfortable face, greeted the Wen family, and met with the rest of the Xie family.

The Wen clan has already announced to everyone that except for Aunt Da Jin who took Xie Yingfen and Xie Han's master and servant back to the small mansion on Gongyuan West Street, everyone else must stay in the mansion for the night, so hurry up and pack up their things as soon as possible.

Mrs. Xie is still waiting to move back. Xie Pu has instructed him to try to sort out the things that should be sorted out before Mrs. Xie moves back, so as not to endure the noise and hustle every day after the old lady lives in Jinxuan Hall, and cannot be quiet.

Xie Mulin privately speculated with Xie Jinzhi and Xie Huizhi that this may be an idea that Xie Pu came up with in order to prevent Wen from getting along with Mrs. Xie day and night, and being at the mercy of Mrs. Xie again. Of course, this kind of thing cannot be said explicitly.

Wen faithfully carried out her husband's order to stay, but she didn't plan to go around day and night, but when she saw Xie Yinghui coming to the door, it was clear that she was going to live in the mansion, so as not to make the latter feel lonely and afraid, so she asked everyone to stay with her.

But Xie Yinghui was a little uncomfortable with Wen's kindness. She is used to hearing the slander of the Wen family by the people around her mother, and always regards the other party as a third party who destroys the relationship between her parents and husband and wife.

But there were too many things that subverted her impression today, and she really didn't have the face to make rude moves towards Wen. It's just that in private, she still can't help but complain to her brother: "Why do you call her mother?" If she is your mother, then ...... What are our mothers? ”

Xie Xianzhi had long expected his sister to ask this question, and his mood was calm: "My aunt is now my father's only wife, so she is naturally our mother." As for our biological mother, she is naturally also a mother, but she asked for and divorced, and refused to remarry, and she always felt that it was not appropriate to call her alongside her father. So I call her mother, so that I will not be confused with my mother, nor will I violate the law of etiquette. ”

Xie Yinghui couldn't help but stomp her feet: "Who asked you this?" I mean......" paused, biting her lip, "how do you know she has to be a good person?" recognized her as a mother, in case she uses this identity to suppress you with filial piety......"

Xie Xianzhi said lightly: "Mother is not that kind of person. In the past, you really misunderstood your family too much. There may be mothers and subordinates here, as well as grandmothers, uncles and aunts who are misleading, but you yourself refuse to see people, and what people around you say, you are gullible and have your own faults. Now that you know some of the truth, don't follow the crowd anymore. ”

Xie Yinghui flattened her mouth and did not speak.

Xie Xianzhi said again: "Mother asked everyone to stay in the house for the night because she was worried about you. Although this mansion is a place we are used to, it has been empty for more than a month, and it has been searched several times, and now I don't know if it can still be inhabited. Before it gets dark, you take Luqi back to your yard to have a look. Originally, I was going to have someone tidy up your house tomorrow, pack your things in boxes, and send them back to you later. You're coming, and you're saving me. Jewelry is soft and so on, you can take it away, you have some private silver in your hands, and you have confidence in your heart. ”

Xie Yinghui snorted: "What do you take away?" I'll be staying here for the rest of my life! Didn't the eldest brother say that if I can't stay in Pingnanbo's Mansion, I can come back to live? Anyway, my grandmother is moving back, so what's the point of having one more me? I don't have to move anything, so I go back to my own yard. Don't worry, I will go to Jinxuan Hall every day to greet the old lady. ”

"What stupid things are you talking about?" Xie Xianzhi shook his head, "Not to mention whether you can stay or not, even if my mother really agrees with you to move back, I won't let you stay in your own yard." Before leaving, my father instructed that the inner house should be sealed, and no one was allowed to set foot except for the cleaners. ”

Xie Yinghui frowned: "Why?" Why don't you live in a good house? ”

"In such a big house, only a few of you female dependents, if you live too far away from each other, once a small night sneaks in and wants to shout for help, I don't know if anyone can hear it. In the future, the old lady will take her third sister and Aunt Jin to live in Jinxuan Hall, where the place is big enough, there are all the things that should be there, and it is convenient to enter and exit the gate. If you really want to come back, you will naturally have to live in Jinxuan Hall. ”

"Jin Xuantang?" Xie Yinghui showed a disgusted expression on her face. She actually didn't like Mrs. Xie's residence very much, and always felt that there was a smell that was difficult to eliminate.

Although Mrs. Xie has always loved her and her brother, it is because their brother and sister are the grandsons of the Cao family, with noble backgrounds and extraordinary bloodlines, which cannot be compared with other brothers and sisters. Since Mrs. Xie is not sincere to them, why should she be so filial to this snobbish grandmother?

Xie Yinghui pulled her brother's sleeve and pleaded in a low voice: "I don't want to live in Jin Xuantang, can't I live in my own courtyard?" It's a big deal, I'll just bring back all the girls and mothers-in-law in my yard. If you still feel that there are not enough men, I can also buy some more powerful servants and let them make rounds day and night......"

Xie Xianzhi waved his hand: "Don't say anything about bringing people back, you now have a green Qi, I won't drive people out, but I can't add more." Even if it's agate, I can't believe it. There were so many girls in my previous house, and the most important thing was Wenzhu, but do you know what she did? My uncle and mother sent her over to wait for me, just so that she could poison my father's tea and rice! If I hadn't discovered it early, it would be you and me who are wearing heavy filial piety now. Calamus and green pine, I have repeatedly confirmed that they are reliable, and then I stayed. ”

Xie Yinghui was already stunned when she heard it: "What? What poisoning? Brother, you ......"

She was about to ask, but Xie Mulin came over at this time: "Uncle Cai and Aunt Cai bought dinner, let's eat first, so as not to get cold." If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after dinner. ”

Xie Xianzhi responded with a smile and pulled his sister. Xie Yinghui had to follow him unwillingly and went to the dinner table.

With Xie Yinghui here, in fact, this meal was a little embarrassing. Wen was interested in treating Xie Yinghui warmly, but the latter kept eating with his head down and refused to give a positive reaction. Xie Mulin couldn't stand it anymore, and desperately found a topic to divert everyone's attention. Xie Huizhi wanted to say something that he didn't like to hear several times, but he also asked Xie Jinyi to step back, and he couldn't help but show an unwilling expression on his face.

The side dishes and vermicelli snacks bought by Cai Laotian and his wife from the nearby market are delicious, but there are so many people here, and they all eat absent-mindedly. The dinner was hastily over, and the next person collected the tableware and prepared to send it back to the store, and everyone in the Xie family dispersed and went to do their own thing.

Xie Mulin went to Wen's to discuss getting water for a bath, Xie Jinzhi looked for Xie Xianzhi to discuss how to pack the books at home, Xie Huizhi saw that people were not paying attention, so he found Xie Yinghui.

He asked the eldest sister "quietly": "Big sister, according to what you said before, is Cao Wenheng ruined his marriage?" You don't have to marry him in the future? Amitabha! You've really escaped the disaster! You don't know in the boudoir that his reputation outside is not so good. Whoever marries him will be unlucky for eight lifetimes! ”

Xie Yinghui's eyes widened with anger, and she wanted to refute it, but she couldn't help but think of Cao Wenheng's ruthless expression when he said that he would not marry her today, and she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, where did she still have the leisure to quarrel with her brother-in-law? As soon as his mouth was flattened, he ran back to his yard crying.

Xie Huizhi didn't expect her to run away, stayed there in a daze, and only reacted after a while, looked around, and saw that the brothers and sisters were staring at him with angry expressions, so he had to show a wry smile: "I'm not intentional either...... Who knew she would cry...... Okay, okay, I just don't mess with her! ”
