In the evening, Xie Huizhi returned to his temporary home with a gloomy face.

He reported to his father Xie Pu what he had gained from today's inquiry.

The attitude of the Chengenhou Mansion and the second room of the Cao family had improved, but it seemed that they had returned coldly. When he went to find Cao Rong today, he met Cao Rong's mother and was sneered at again, which basically means that his father didn't know what to do and didn't know how to lift up.

However, Cao Rong's own attitude has not changed much. He was also very considerate of Xie Pu's refusal to get back together. It's all men, who wants to be a cuckold? Or a well-known green hat. Whoever wears it will have no face. Although the Cao family respects Empress Cao's will, there are many people who disagree with Empress Cao's order for Xie Pu to reunite with the Cao family.

Of course, there are also people who feel that Xie Pu is not as valuable as Fang Wenshan's marriage; Some people feel that Fang Wenshan is the son of a pro-soldier, and his background is too low to be worthy of the daughter of the main family; There are also people who think that Xie Pu and Fang Wenshan are not good partners, the Cao family is not very old, and their appearance is also very good, so they can find another candidate for marriage with a higher status...... There is no need to mention that.

Due to the indifferent attitude of the Cao family's big house and the second room, the Pingnan Bo Mansion in the third room of the Cao family was unwilling to return the Cao family and Xie Pu's children, and they didn't say anything. As long as Empress Cao has no other will, this matter depends on the meaning of Sanfang.

However, Cao Rongyou heard his mother say something in private, saying that Ping Nanbo was very stingy and got such a big fortune from the Xie family, so he only divided a few shops and Zhuangzi to the big house and the second room, and the latter received especially little, only two shops, no wonder Mrs. Cao was unhappy. But Cheng Enhou and his wife didn't want to embarrass the third room anymore, and the second room didn't have much to say, so they could only give the two shops to the eldest daughter Cao Wenying as a dowry, so as to make up for the damage she suffered by the joint calculation of the third room and the daughter of the Wang family.

Xie Huizhi complained to Xie Pu: "I didn't expect the Chengenhou Mansion to be so shallow, and after getting some benefits, I put aside the Pingnan Bo Mansion's calculation of them." The most hateful thing is that the benefits of Pingnanbo's Mansion were all obtained from our Xie family, and they didn't have to pay a penny, so they bought the Chengenhou Mansion and calculated our Xie family in turn, how can this really be true! ”

Xie Mulin, who was listening, raised his eyebrows, thinking that this was not surprising. The Chengenhou Mansion was calculated by the Pingnan Bo Mansion, which was quite annoying, but it was the second room of the Cao family that really suffered, and it was the daughter of the second room who could not enter the East Palace to be a good person. On the contrary, after this incident, Empress Cao postponed the plan to let her niece enter the East Palace, and the daughter of the Chengen Hou Mansion had a chance to come forward. The Chengenhou Mansion did not suffer a big loss, but gained benefits, what is there not to be happy about? The second room of the Cao family, who was really unhappy, only got a little compensation, and no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only follow the big house......

Xie Pu didn't seem surprised by the news that the third son brought back: "I should have thought of it a long time ago." The three heads of the Cao family are all generally greedy and shameless, who do you think is a fuel-efficient lamp? Maybe you can't get that property back for the time being, so let it go. Money is something outside the body, as long as our family is safe and healthy, it is enough. ”

Xie Pu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried, what if the Cao family obeyed Empress Cao's order and returned the property to him? How do you sing the drama on the emperor's side? Fortunately, the greed of the Cao family outweighed the obedience to Empress Cao's orders. The emperor's plan went well, and the Xie family could leave the scene safely.

If he is lucky enough, in a few years, the emperor will solve the Cao family, and maybe there will be a day when part of the Xie family's property will be returned. If you're not lucky, that's fine. In addition to official duties, he can spare some time to instruct his family to run a few industries. Even if in order to ensure safety, it is still no problem to save millions of furniture and let the family live a prosperous life. Xie Pu has this self-confidence.

Xie Huizhi didn't know Xie Pu's thoughts, and he was still a little depressed, and he was in a very bad mood. Seeing this, Xie Mulin whispered to comfort him: "It's okay, we're all about to leave the capital, if there are too many industries in the capital, we will be constrained." ”

Xie Huizhi glanced at her with a complicated expression, and then lowered his head.

After he finished reporting the news about the Cao family, before he retreated, he told his father about an incident that he had encountered by chance: "Today in the Cao family's land, I saw Aunt Qin, sneaky. Did she go to deliver the word again at her father's behest? I see that the person who met her was not her family, but Gui Zhen, who used to wait by the Cao family's side, and there was a face with a face, which was a bit like the grandmother next to Mrs. Ping Nanbo. I don't know what the hell they're up to, but just keep an eye on it, father. ”

Xie Pu was stunned and looked at his daughter Xie Mulin. He has always paid little attention to what the ladies of the family are doing, because the Wen family will arrange everyone properly. He remembered that he didn't tell Wanqin to go to Cao's house to spread the word, so he could only ask Wen's or second daughter.

Xie Mulin thought for a while: "Today, Aunt Qin didn't say that she wanted to go back to Cao's house to visit relatives, but in the morning, she robbed Aunt Dajin of the errand to buy vegetables, but she went home half an hour later than Aunt Dajin. She said that she stopped by to inquire about the news of a nearby medical center. Neither my mother nor I asked. ”

Xie Pu pondered for a moment and said, "If she just misses her relatives and wants to go back to see, I won't stop her, but I need to beware of her being used by the Cao family to make trouble." Hui Zhi pays more attention to the movements of the Cao family on weekdays, and Yingzhen quietly tells his subordinates to pay attention to Wanqin's movements. If she makes any difference, she will report to me at once. ”

Xie Mulin and Xie Huizhi hurriedly responded. The two of them had nothing to do and exited the study.

Xie Huizhi quietly tugged on Xie Mulin's sleeve: "Third sister, I have something to tell you, let's go to the second brother's house." ”

Xie Mulin was puzzled, but he still agreed, and the two went to Xie Jinzhi's room.

Xie Jinzhi was reading a book. These days, life has settled down, and the government has also returned the Xie family's second-room property. There are chores outside, Xie Pu cooking, and Wen's family presiding over the feed, there is no old lady Xie tossing at the top, and the younger brothers and sisters are not sick again, Xie Jinzhi has nothing to worry about, so he picked up his homework again.

When he returns to his hometown in Huyin County, he will enter the academy to study, in case his homework is not good enough and he shows timidity, wouldn't it be a smear on his parents' faces? Even his grandfather Xie Zechuan, who has been dead for many years, will be disgraced.

Seeing his younger siblings coming, he smiled and put down the textbook in his hand: "The third brother is back?" Have you had a hard day, right? Today there is stewed astragalus chicken soup, which nourishes the body and invigorates qi, and the third brother will drink an extra bowl in a while. ”

Xie Huizhi casually agreed, sat down opposite Xie Jinzhi, and stopped talking.

Xie Mulin said to Xie Jinzhi: "The third brother said that he had something to tell us, since he went home, something was wrong, as if he had been hit by something, probably because he was frightened by the greed and shamelessness of the Cao family." She summarized the news that Xie Huizhi had brought back earlier and told her brother.

Xie Jinzhi sighed: "The third brother wants to open some." These powerful people are lawless, and we have limited power, so we can't do anything about them. But as long as we have a future to promising, we can also take power and snatch back what the Cao family took away. ”

"I'm not here for this." Xie Huizhi said angrily, "I have long lost hope for that money, and the Cao family can still let the duck with a beak fly?" It's just that today I went to inquire about the news, and I wanted to contact the big brothers and sisters and persuade them to come home, but I didn't expect to hear an angry news!

Mrs. Ping Nanbo took her daughter and eldest sister to attend the banquet together, and the eldest sister actually took the initiative to help Ping Nanbo's mansion say good things, saying that the Cao Xie family had no grievances and disputes, and everything was a rumor deliberately fabricated by someone with a heart. My father stayed in prison for so long, and finally returned home, but I didn't see her come back to take a look and ask someone. Defending the Cao family, she is positive! ”
