Chapter 604: Attack
Xie Yinghui was silent for a while before sneering and squeezing out a sentence: "I know...... The surname Fang is not a good thing, he will go to Beiping to save people so actively, not for the friendship between friends at all, but for self-preservation! β
Xie Xianzhi had a calm face: "Mother's move is too rash!" Fang Wenshan mentioned such a family matter, she didn't even go to investigate carefully, so she rashly found her eldest sister? Isn't she afraid that Fang Wenshan is just coaxing her?! β
The proprietress of the pastry shop cried: "How could General Fang coax his wife? He has been in love with his wife since he was a child, and he only has his wife alone in his eyes, and there is no one in this world who cares more about his wife than him! β
Xie Mulin rolled his eyes on the side: "The Fang Wenshan you know is twenty years ago, right?" He was still a young man at that time, innocent, and maybe as sincere as you said. But now so many years have passed, he has married two wives before and after, gave birth to so many children, and climbed up from the grassroots level step by step, climbing to the status of the emperor's henchman and the general of the Praetorian Guard, do you think he is still the naΓ―ve guy in the past? If he really cares about your wife, he won't ask your wife to sacrifice his own daughter for his own interests. Don't tell me, you have been a big girl in the Cao family for so many years, you can't see who is more beneficial to this so-called family business?! β
Fang Wenshan planned to marry his wife's daughter to the eldest grandson of his immediate boss, naturally wanting to seek political benefits from it. Otherwise, the Xie family has nothing to do with the commanders of Shaanxi, and they have never dealt with each other, so why should they discuss with others?
It is impossible for the proprietress of the pastry shop not to understand this truth, she was speechless, she could only whisper with tears: "Even so, the wife is looking forward to the eldest lady marrying into a wealthy family and enjoying a lifetime of wealth, instead of being allowed to make a move at will and waste her life." β
Xie Yinghui sneered: "How do you know that I will be allowed to make a move at will and waste my life?" How do you know that the grandson who commands the envoy must be a good person, and I can enjoy happiness for the rest of my life if I marry?! β
Xie Mulin nodded: "Isn't it?" Not only do we know nothing about that family, but even your wife probably doesn't know anything about that family, right? Did she hear that people might get knighthoods, so she thought it was a good home? Is it true that as long as there is a title in the family, the character and temperament of the marriage partner are not important? Is Cao Wenheng from Pingnanbo Mansion also a good object for the eldest sister? Just because he has a knighthood on him? As for whether he coaxed his eldest sister and failed her, whether his mother was cold and mean, and whether his sister was rude and unreasonable, and whether he beat and hurt people casually, all of them are not in the scope of your wife's consideration. She only needs to marry her daughter to a family with a lord, and she will be satisfied, as for how her daughter is doing in her husband's family, it is all a side matter? β
She looked at the proprietress of the pastry shop, and her eyes were meaningful: "Your wife likes people with titles so much, why did you still look at Wenshan above back then?" Could it be that she actually regretted it in her heart, she shouldn't have entangled with Fang Wenshan in the first place, and gave up King Yan, so that she could only marry my father to seek silver. She should have chosen a family with a title, married and enjoyed all the wealth and honor, and there would be no end today. Is that what your wife thinks? That's why I hope my daughter can fulfill her long-cherished wish? Does she usually reveal this kind of thinking in her words and deeds? I think Fang Wenshan still knows her very well, otherwise he wouldn't have used such a family affair to hang her appetite. β
The proprietress of the pastry shop was in a cold sweat when she heard this, she had lived in the house for many years, and she instantly realized the heart of Xie Mulin's words, these words must not be heard by Fang Wenshan!
Her body weakened and she knelt down in front of Xie Mulin: "Second Miss Xie, please don't say it!" Mrs. is just looking forward to a good home for the eldest lady, and she definitely doesn't have such an idea! She...... She just didn't expect so much......"
Xie Yinghui also came back to her senses at this time, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Maybe she doesn't really want me to have a good home, she just needs a reason to convince herself to do this kind of thing that will hurt her own flesh and blood." Under the banner of being good for me, she doesn't need to feel guilty about doing anything, and she has the face to face me. Otherwise...... Say what is really good for me? I have my own father in charge, when do I need her to meddle in my family affairs?
"If she really thinks about me, she shouldn't have given birth to so many things and put my brother and sister in such an embarrassing situation! Just because she wants to be with Fang Wenshan, that slut, my brother and I have no home, no relatives and elders who once loved us, no rich and comfortable life and a bright future...... We have lost almost everything, our third uncle and grandmother are also dead, and what is my mother still talking about?! β
As she spoke, she couldn't help crying. Xie Mulin saw that she was a little emotional, so he hurriedly comforted her and helped her sit down next to her.
Xie Xianzhi sat on the other side with a dejected expression, and was silent for a long time before continuing to speak: "What kind of family affairs are not relatives, it's just a disguise." Fang Wenshan was not welcomed in the Shaanxi army, what good family affair could he give to his eldest sister? It's better to ignore it. Let's get back to the topic, what did Fang Wenshan do in Beiping? If he wants to threaten his father with his eldest sister, is he just writing a letter to his mother? Didn't he do anything else? β
By the way, that's what they really want to inquire about. Previously, they had all been led down the wrong path by the words of the proprietress of the pastry shop, and they had forgotten the real point.
Xie Mulin hurriedly looked at the owner of the pastry shop and glared at him a few times.
The other party shivered, and hurriedly pushed his wife: "Say it quickly!" The eldest young master and the eldest lady don't believe that the family affair mentioned by General Fang and his wife is a good marriage, what's the use of you crying again? Tell me what else General Fang wrote in the letter?! β
The proprietress glanced at her husband resentfully, cried a few more times, and then whispered: "I really don't know the inside story very well, but I just heard Mother Du mention a few words to Gui Zhen...... General Fang felt that it was Master Xie who said bad things in front of His Royal Highness King Yan, so he asked King Yan to hold on to his friend. He didn't want Master Xie to continue to get in the way, so he ...... So I took advantage of the Lantern Festival to secretly send people to attack Master Xie......"
"What did you say?!" The three brothers and sisters of the Xie family were suddenly shocked, and almost didn't rush at her, "Attack? What kind of assault is it? Did you get it? Didn't do it?! β
Xie Mulin broke out in a cold sweat: "It's impossible to succeed, Daddy should be fine, otherwise Fang Wenshan doesn't need to write a special letter to the Cao family and ask her to take the eldest sister away as a hostage." Daddy must have escaped safely, and he can continue to perform official duties, and he still has great power in his hands, so that Fang Wenshan can have scruples! After saying that, she herself calmed down, and her face softened a lot.
Xie Yinghui's body shook before she stood firm under Xie Mulin's support, but her face was still pale: "What happened to my father's injury?" β
Xie Xianzhi glared at the proprietress of the pastry shop: "Don't you say it soon?!" β
For the first time, the proprietress of the pastry shop saw the son of the old master in the past show such a fierce expression, and her tone of voice couldn't help but stammer: "No...... I don't know...... But Du's mother complained to the guards sent by the Fang family...... said that God didn't have long eyes, let Master Xie escape or something, and also said that General Fang's soldiers were unreliable, not only failed to successfully solve Master Xie, but also showed his feet, and I don't know if it will cause trouble...... The people of the Fang family quarreled with her because of this, but it was his wife who came forward to suppress it. β
Xie Mulin suddenly understood when he heard this: "What do you mean to use the eldest sister as a bargaining chip and threaten your father to make concessions?" This is clearly not going to make it bad, and it is in the hands of his father, Fang Wenshan wants to protect himself, right?! β
