Chapter Fifty-Eight: Torn (Recommended Addition)
Xie Huizhi now has a good relationship with the mother and daughter in the second room, and he has a grudge against Xie Yingrong in his heart, and when he saw Wen's question, he didn't hesitate at all, and he had to open his mouth to answer.
Xie Yingrong hurriedly took the first step to speak: "I didn't say anything, it's just that now the family is difficult, I'm afraid that the third brother's child family is not sensible, and he went to play with his former friends." Those people used to call him brothers, but for the sake of the Cao family, how sincere can they be? Now that the Cao family is going to turn against our family, the third brother's fox friends and dog friends are already very good if they don't fall into the well, so how can they continue to be good friends with him? So I reminded him not to trust the people around him too much, and beware of being deceived and not knowing. As a result, he became angry, presumably disgusted by me for speaking ill of his friend. But I'm also for his good, and I'm worried that he will suffer. He and I are not only sisters and brothers, but my biological mother is also a sister, and we are a little closer than other brothers and sisters. Can I still hurt him? Who knew he would lose his temper like this......"
Wen suddenly realized and looked at Xie Huizhi: "That's what your third sister said?" That's what yours isn't. She also kindly reminded you that you should not be rude to your sister whether you listen to it or not. β
Xie Huizhi continued to squint at Xie Yingrong: "Really?" It turns out that what the third sister said just now, is this what they meant? "What a fool of him!
Xie Yingrong knew that he was doubting himself, but now he could only grit his teeth and insist: "Of course it means!" I was just afraid that you would be angry, so I said it vaguely, who knew you were still angry......"
Xie Huizhi sneered, wanting to say something, but raised his eyes and saw Aunt Dajin walking out of the door and looking over with a worried face. He paused for a moment and pouted: "Whoever asks the third sister to speak is not good to say, so you have to use this kind of language that is easy to misunderstand?" Since the third sister feels closer to me than others, then she has something to say, what to do around the bush? Could it be that the third sister didn't treat me as a younger brother in her heart? β
Xie Yingrong laughed dryly: "How come?" The third brother is too careful. β
Xie Huizhi snorted twice at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know what it meant.
Wen didn't seem to see the stiff atmosphere between the two sisters and brothers, and smiled: "Just talk about it." Isn't it good for a family to get along in harmony with each other? Why quarrel? She pulled Xie Hui's hand, "I have something to ask Huizhi to do, you come with me." β
"Okay, what's the matter, auntie?" Xie Huizhi responded happily and followed Wen out of the courtyard.
Aunt Dajin breathed a sigh of relief, remembering that she still had a lot of needlework to do, and shrank back into her room.
Only Xie Mulin and Xie Yingrong were left in the courtyard. Xie Mulin looked at the latter quietly: "What did you say to the third brother?" β
Xie Yingrong smiled as sweetly as usual: "Second sister, didn't I say it all?" Why do you still ask? β
Xie Mulin sneered: "Who are you coaxing? That is, my mother is naΓ―ve, so I will believe your words. Otherwise, just by looking at the expression of the third brother, you know that you are talking nonsense. β
She looked at the room next to her: "The third brother is afraid of Aunt Dajin's face, right?" You just relied on your biological mother's nurturing grace for the third brother to dare to pinch him. β
Xie Yingrong sank his face: "I don't understand what the second sister said." How did the second sister become yin and yang now? You and my sister were so good that you never spoke to me like that. β
Xie Mulin glanced back at her: "Why can't I be yin and yang?" In the past, our sisters were very good, at least I thought we were very good, but I fell into the water, and the good sisters crossed me to save others, or the first time you met the daughter of the high family, I didn't care about my life or death. When I get sick and turn around and ask you why, you still have to coax me. How do I believe that you really think of me as a good sister? β
Xie Yingrong sighed in her heart, and hurriedly showed an innocent smile: "Second sister, haven't I explained everything?" You ...... at the time."
"Will you coax me, but won't I coax you?" Xie Mulin interrupted her, "Okay, don't act in front of me." I originally thought that as long as I didn't worry my family, it would be okay for me to accompany you to do a play. Who knows that you are restless, I don't mess with you, you still have to provoke me. I won't give you a little bit of a look, you really treat me like a sick cat, don't you? β
Xie Yingrong's smile was a little stiff: "Second sister, what are you talking about......"
"What are you pretending to be stupid?!" Xie Mulin rolled his eyes, "What are you doing in front of the old lady in front of the Jiang family?" You know why the Jiang family got engaged to me. When I was worried and scared, you talked with me all night, and I know best. Now that something has happened to our family, the Cao family has turned their faces, and the Jiang family has not come to withdraw from the marriage, maybe because they didn't find out where we lived. You actually asked the old lady to ask us to take the initiative to send it to the door, what kind of heart is An?! β
Xie Yingrong swallowed her saliva and continued to explain with a stiff smile: "Second sister, you really misunderstood. I really think that the Jiang family may be able to help, and Jiang Shilang's official position is higher than that of Master Wen, and he has more hope of rescuing his father, so he proposed it to the old lady. Although the Jiang family may listen to the Cao family's orders, the second son of Jiang has a deep affection for you, and you and I both know it. As long as he is willing to help you speak, with the degree to which he is favored by the Jiang family, the Jiang family will not fall into the ground. Even if we refuse to help our father, at least the old lady of the Jiang family and the second son of Jiang can fund us with some silver, so that we can live in peace. Our family is now all dependent on the Li family to feed, and it is not a long-term solution. I can't help it, just ......."
Xie Mulin didn't wait for her to finish, and then interrupted her again: "If you really have a good heart, then in addition to the Jiang family, there is another family that you can ask for help, why don't you mention it?" β
Xie Yingrong was stunned: "What? β
"Taishi's Mansion, Xue Family." Xie Mulin threw out the answer, "Didn't you just save Miss Xue's life?" Even if Taishi Xue is wise to protect his life and is unwilling to meddle in his father's case, wouldn't he give a few words of news or a little silver? You have a life-saving grace for Miss Xue Si, and you want to be rewarded, and they have no reason to refuse, right? The Xue family has no grievances with our Xie family, and they are a little more reliable than the Jiang family, you just need to go to the door for help. When you ask for news and money, you have made a great contribution in front of the old lady, who can underestimate you? It's so easy, why don't you do it? β
Xie Yingrong gritted his teeth. How could she do such a thing?! Miss Xue Si is her benefactor in her previous life, she knows very well that Miss Xue Si's parents are dead, although she is the daughter of the Taishi Mansion, she is no different from an orphan girl, she is still in a difficult situation, and only a little pity from Xue Taishi and his wife can gain a foothold in the Xue family, and it is impossible to help her at all. How could she bring trouble to Miss Xue Si because of something that was already a foregone conclusion? What's more, she just wants silver, Jiang Yuliang can give it, why should she alarm her benefactor?!
Xie Yingrong continued to quibble: "Miss Xue fell into the water in our house, the Xue family did not blame our family for dereliction of duty, they were already extremely tolerant, how dare I coerce Entu to repay ......"
Xie Mulin sneered: "Is it our family's responsibility that she fell into the water?" Obviously, it was the daughter of the Cheng family in the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion who made trouble and capsized our ship. Even if the eldest sister quarrels with the daughter of the Cheng family, she is also responsible, but it is not she who caused the capsizing, the Xue family is also to blame the Cheng family, why blame you, a good person who wants to save Xue Si girl regardless of his sister's life? ! β
Xie Yingrong was dumbfounded. This time, she was really speechless, she couldn't say that she knew that Miss Xue couldn't speak in the Xue family, right? Then Xie Yingzhen should have asked her how she knew.
Can she still tell the truth? She and Miss Xue Si have only been together for half an hour in this life, and they haven't even said a few words. Because after she rescued the person and sent it back to her yard and settled down, she went to the study to look for the letter. When she returned to the room, someone from the Xue family had already come to pick up Miss Xue Si, and she didn't have time to make friends with her benefactor at all, so where did she go to reason now?
