The Xie family sat around two tables and had a reunion dinner.

Aunt Dajin—or the mothers-in-law of Xie Jinkun's family—carefully prepared a big meal, but everyone seemed to be a little absent-minded. Most people's attention was attracted by the news that Xie Huizhi had brought earlier, and they were anxious to finish their meal quickly, so that they could listen to the details. Aunt Dajin was full of wanting to use this meal to show her face and curry favor with her husband Xie Pu, but it came to naught.

Only Wen persuades Xie Pu to eat more good food and drink more good soup, wanting him to make up for his body, and always feels that he must have suffered a lot in prison.

Xie Pu now deeply feels that this meta formula is a person who treats her sincerely, no matter what situation she is in, she will never give up, and she has also made up her mind to treat her well to make up for the loss of the past ten years.

The husband and wife were eating unhurriedly, and they made the people around them restless.

Fortunately, no matter how hard this meal was, it would be finished in half an hour. Xie Pu opened his mouth, sent the two youngest children back to the room to rest, and asked Aunt Dajin to take the mother-in-law off the dining table to carry out the aftermath work, and then took Wen's family, Xie Jinzhi, Xie Mulin, Xie Huizhi and Wanqin to the study, sat down and talked.

Aunt Da Jin could only watch them leave, and led her mother-in-law to do the housework.

Wen took Wanqin to serve hot tea to everyone, Xie Pu took a sip unhurriedly, and then motioned for Xie Huizhi to tell the news he had heard.

Xie Huizhi has now figured out that his father was cuckolded by his mother-in-law, and it is extremely embarrassing to say it, so he is naturally not willing to mention it in front of too many people. He was really too reckless before the meal, but fortunately his father didn't blame him.

Now that Xie Pu asked him again, he honestly told what he had heard, and he no longer had the overly excited appearance before. In the process of his narration, Wanqin would occasionally interject to add some information she had heard.

The attitude of the Cao family's big house and second room towards Xie Pu may have changed a lot after the death of Wang Angui's family.

It is said that Cao Wenying, the eldest lady in the second room of the Cao family, who was calculated by Wang Angui's eldest daughter, played a big role in it.

She was calculated by Wang Meiru, and there was an affair with Jiang Shaoliang, and her reputation was damaged, but she did not cry in front of her family, but instead comforted her parents and family, thinking that even if she lost the opportunity to become the prince Liangdi, there was no need to be too sad. As long as the glory of the Cao family is undiminished, and the Cao family has a woman in the East Palace, it doesn't matter if the candidate is her or not.

She even felt that if this kind of thing happened, the Cao family would not be able to send a woman into the palace for the time being, and Wang Meiru would also lose the qualification to become the prince's concubine. As long as the prince's position is stable, the Cao family will send the daughter to the East Palace in a few years, which is just a matter of Queen Cao's words.

As long as the Cao family does not send their daughter into the East Palace, the rumors outside that the Cao family is jealous of Wang Angui and want to cut off their daughter's way to enter the palace to eliminate dissidents for their daughters will naturally have no basis. The little resentment that the prince had against Empress Cao because of Wang Meiru's death can also be eliminated. It turned out that the Wang family was killing themselves, Wang Meiru was not worthy of being the concubine of the East Palace, not that Queen Cao was selfish.

Even those powerful ministers who intend to make their daughter the crown princess and concubine, and are worried that the Cao family will cross the bridge and draw the board, can also dispel their worries and fully support the prince.

Cao Wenying's words are both general and far-sighted, not to mention Chengenhou and his wife, even Queen Cao appreciates it very much. Originally, she was just used as a temporary spare tire when the concubine of Cheng'en Hou was not old enough to enter the palace, but now she really thinks she is a good child.

Helplessly, when the prince was sad because of Wang Meiru's death, he had already told the emperor that he did not want to marry Cao Wenying, so as not to ruin her good marriage with Jiang Shaoliang, which cut off Cao Wenying's future in disguise, but also annoyed the emperor and was reprimanded. It is no longer possible for Cao Wenying to be Queen Cao's daughter-in-law, but her mother's family has juniors who are smart and reasonable, and Queen Cao still feels very gratified.

Because of this, Queen Cao simply agreed to the marriage of Cao Wenying and Jiang Shaoliang. After all, Jiang Shaoliang's family background is not bad, and he has a father who is a stalwart of the Cao Party, and he is also smart and capable, which is a good match for Cao Wenying. This time, the two young people were framed by the Wang family, but they were able to cleverly try to minimize the negative impact, although they were still no match for the rumors deliberately promoted by the Lin family, but their attitude was commendable. When they become husband and wife, they can continue to contribute to the Cao family.

After Cao Wenying's marriage was decided, she once again suggested to her parents and uncles and aunts, thinking that it was best for the Cao family not to chase Xie Pu anymore. From the very beginning, the so-called claim that Xie Pu betrayed the Cao family was a lie. The Lin family did not regard Xie Pu as an accomplice at all, but was suspected of using the power of the big house and the second room to deceive Queen Cao and seek to seize the wealth of the Xie family.

Even if Pingnanbo Mansion seeks the huge wealth of the Xie family, how much of it can fall into the hands of the big house and the second house? Just look at the accounts of Xie Pu's tribute over the years found in Dali Temple, as well as the gap between the property actually obtained by Empress Cao and the Chengenhou Mansion, you can know that you are tired of it. Pingnanbofu is not honest at all, he only thinks about fattening himself, but he doesn't care how much hidden danger the conspiracy to frame Xie Pu will bring to the queen and the Chengenhou Mansion once it is exposed. Just listening to the various rumors circulating outside, as well as the emperor's increasing dissatisfaction, you can know how much the queen and Chengenhou have to do with this.

But they are too wronged! They didn't do it! I don't see any benefits at all!

Thinking of the private agreement between Pingnanbo Mansion and Wang Angui's family, Miss Cao was not calm. She cried in front of her parents and elders, hoping that they would not become accomplices of Sanfang, but she only harmed her own flesh and blood, and the benefits were all for Sanfang, and her family also bore the stigma in vain. To put it bluntly, Sanfang has done so many things, isn't it all because Queen Cao chose Cao Wenying to be the prince's concubine, but did not choose Sanfang's daughter?

With Queen Cao's appreciation first, Cao Wenying now has some weight in speaking at home. Her words sounded very reasonable, not only Second Master Cao and Second Mrs. Cao felt the same way, but even Cheng Enhou and his wife became more and more angry the more they listened, and they only felt that they were being used by their stepmother and the people in the third room.

As a result, the Chengenhou Mansion and the second room of the Cao family completely changed their attitude towards Xie Pu, and also hinted at his henchmen, saying that Xie Pu was very innocent, how could he have been the son-in-law of the Cao family, and he also contributed a lot of property, which was meritorious, even if he was forced to leave now, he could not be wronged. As for what Ping Nanbo Mansion thinks, it doesn't matter.

The power in the hands of the Pingnan Bo Mansion was limited, and under the conscious obstruction of the Chengenhou Mansion, he failed to continue to make any unfavorable moves against Xie Pu.

At the same time, Empress Cao in the palace also sent her henchmen to Pingnanbo's Mansion to spread the word, telling them that the emperor had decided on the new leader of the Praetorian Guard, but unfortunately it was not Fang Wenshan. The emperor was still in front of the chamberlains, and said that Fang Wenshan was thin and unrepairable, and he was not worthy of the big responsibility, obviously dissatisfied with him. At present, Wen Shan is still in the position of deputy commander, probably because he has only been in office for a few months. After a long time, maybe he will be sent back to his original jurisdiction and continue to be a border guard.

How much is the value of such a marriage? Is it worth sacrificing the good reputation of the Cao family for him?

Empress Cao told Ping Nanbo and his wife that the Cao family could not remarry Fang Wenshan, and even the Xie family's property had to be returned to the Xie family.

In this way, the Cao family has no selfish relationship with others, and the reason why she reconciled and divorced her husband Xie Pu was just to save her children. Xie Pu entrusted his family wealth to Ping Nanbo, also for the sake of his family. After he was released from prison without incident, Ping Nanbo returned all his property, which was an act of faith. Those messy rumors are all deliberately spread by people with intentions in an attempt to ruin the reputation of the Cao family, which is fake!
