Xiao Rui ran to Xie's house again the next day, but this time he went back a little earlier, arriving in the evening. In addition to being able to make the porters of the official residences in the surrounding blocks see clearly and carefully, he also caught up with the Xie family's dinner.

Although it is impossible to sit at the same table with his fiancée for dinner, he is quite happy to be able to eat in the same room only through the screen, and he also tastes the long-lost Huyin flavor food, and he is in a very good mood.

After the meal, Xie Mulin and his siblings exited the upper room, but when they went out, they parted ways with the others and went straight to the north study, saying that they wanted to find a few books to read. In fact, the brothers and sisters all knew what the situation was, and they left with a snicker, and even Xie Yingrong, who was originally ignorant, was forcibly pulled away by Xie Yingfen to prevent her from staying in the way.

Xiao Rui talked to Xie Pu for less than two quarters of an hour, and then went to the study.

Today he brought Xie Mulin a follow-up message about Bandung: "I talked to him, and it was as I expected. He entered the Yanwang Mansion by himself, which was considered to be a temporary escape and a chance to climb up, but this was far from enough. His father can still decide his future, and his mother-in-law is in charge of his biological mother and sister and marriage, and he can't do whatever he wants. Therefore, he is still very interested in the marriage of the Xie family, and desperately wants to become my brother-in-law, but he can't convince his father to ignore his mother-in-law's request for the time being, but he doesn't plan to sit still. ”

Xie Mulin asked with interest, "Then what did he do to achieve his goal?" ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "He told me that his mother-in-law, Mrs. Wan, sent a letter to the Pingchang Marquis Mansion in the capital early yesterday morning, and the letter was very thick, and it was very likely to reveal the news about my life as the son of King Yan." ”

Xie Mulin was surprised, and then thought: "Princess Yan has asked the ladies attending the tea party more than once not to disclose this news to the outside world. It's okay to tell the officials in charge of the family, but you can spread it to the ears of the rest of the family...... Isn't that right? This matter can be big or small, if the prince and princess don't care, it's just that, really have to care...... After all, it is also the emperor's will. ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "Exactly, disobeying the holy decree is a big deal!" I reported the matter to my father, who immediately sent for a quick recovery of the letter, and found that it not only mentioned my identity, but also mentioned many things that were not so appropriate. ”

Mrs. Wan wrote this letter, and I don't know whether it was approved by Senator Wan, but she undoubtedly had her own selfish intentions. In the letter, she mentioned to her mother-in-law, Mrs. Pingchang Hou, the "big news" she got in Beiping, and told her mother-in-law to inform relatives and friends of the news as soon as possible, so that they should stop supporting the three princes to do something.

King Yan entered Beijing and did not take away the heir, not because he dissuaded the emperor from issuing an order and delaying the succession, but because he already had his own son and no longer needed the third prince to be the heir. The emperor did not refuse, and also recorded his son in the clan jade, and most likely in the future will canonize this nephew as the son of King Yan. Since the third prince almost became the heir of King Yan earlier, it can be seen that he has lost the qualification to inherit the throne. Even if he can't be the heir of King Yan now, it is impossible for the loser to become the winner again. Now that the Cao family and the Lin family are being purged by the emperor, the position of the crown prince is unstable, the second prince is destined to be a loser, and the only one left who has the best chance to ascend the throne is the fourth prince! Even if Wan Jia didn't have time to hug the thighs of the fourth prince, he couldn't get too close to the third prince and be burdened by this loser!

Senator Wan intends to stay in Peking for a few more years, strive to be promoted, and then return to Beijing to seek a higher and more powerful official position. He needs to get the support of the Yan Palace. And Mrs. Wan has a good relationship with the head wife of the Xie family, the in-law of King Yan, and if she can become a family of children, it is impossible for the Yan Wangfu not to support the development of her in-laws in the court! But the two daughters-in-law of the Xie family have already been allowed out, and the two sisters-in-law are said to have an intention, and the other does not plan to say goodbye for the time being. Mrs. Wan hopes that her mother-in-law can help inquire about which family she is talking to Xie Xianzhi about.

Not long after the children of the Xie family arrived in Beiping, Mrs. Xie has been busy with the relatives of her daughters, and the object of the eldest son's marriage must be the family in Beijing, which is said to be an official eunuch who has a good relationship with the Xie family, but she didn't know which one it was, so she hoped that the people from the Pingchang Marquis Mansion could help inquire. If possible, Mrs. Wan hopes that her mother-in-law can think of a way to stir up this matter!

Because she inquired about the Xie family for several days, and asked her maid to find the servants of the Xie family to find out the wind, she was very suspicious that the second son of the Xie family inherited the incense in the second room, and it was very likely that he would marry the granddaughter of the old lady Song in the second room, so that the offspring born to him could be regarded as having the blood of the two old men in the second room. In this way, most of her plans to marry her youngest daughter to Xie Jinzhi would not work, so she could only fight Xie Xianzhi's idea.

And if Mrs. Wan wants Xie Xianzhi to be her son-in-law, not only will she have to mess with his original marriage, but the youngest daughter Wan Si is too young, no matter what, it is impossible to match Xie Xianzhi, who is about to turn eighteen years old, so she can only be taken by the eldest daughter Wan Da girl, but Wan Da girl is still discussing marriage with the children of the Zhao family! Mrs. Wan hopes that her mother-in-law can help to probe the Zhao family's tone again, if the Zhao family still has that cold attitude, then it is okay to discuss it. It's just that in order to promote this marriage, she had publicized the news before, and now in order not to affect her daughter's reputation, she hopes that her mother-in-law can think of a way to put the responsibility on the Zhao family.

This kind of thing is not easy to publicize, and Mrs. Wan can't trust the concubines in other rooms, so she can only ask her mother-in-law. No matter what she said, it is impossible for Mrs. Wan to cheat her granddaughter.

Xiao Rui was quite surprised when he saw the content of the letter from King Yan. Now that he retold it to Xie Mulin, Xie Mulin was also shocked: "I didn't see it, Mrs. Wan has been pestering my mother in our house for the past few days, and she is still that affectionate and affectionate, so she has such a vicious idea in her heart?!" It's impossible for her to mess up my eldest brother's marriage, and the eldest princess of Yongning can tear her up! But the children of the Zhao family have no grievances with her, and they were reluctant to agree to marry before, also because her earlier snobbish attitude was suspicious, and now seeing that there are better people in Beiping, she can cheat others with her backhand, which is too much, right? ! ”

Xiao Rui also sighed: "I heard her rumors in the past, but she was just jealous, she was quite straightforward, and there was still merit, but I didn't expect her nature to be like this, no wonder the officials and relatives of Beiping City were not happy to associate with her." Speaking of this, he looked down on Mrs. Wan even more, "My mother-in-law is already a rare person who is friendly to her, and she wants to start with the eldest brother in order to promote the marriage of the two families, which is also despicable." ”

Xie Mulin was a little strange: "How did Mrs. Wan find out that my eldest brother is from the official eunuch family in Beijing?" As long as it is someone who knows, it will definitely mention the Eldest Princess's Mansion, right? Who in our family had passed the wrong message to her so inexplicably? ”

Xiao Rui laughed when he heard this: "Is this...... It may not have been revealed by the Xie family's servants. I guess, I'm afraid it won't have anything to do with Bandung. ”

"Huh? Bandung? Xie Mulin blinked, and then reacted, "You mean...... He deliberately delivered the wrong message to Mrs. Wan? Do you want to dig a pit for Mrs. Wan? So how does he know who my eldest brother is talking to?! ”
