Xie Yingfen told Wanqin a lot of rumors about the Cao family, such as how the crown prince died to annoy the emperor, what happened to the officials of the East Palace, how sick the queen was, and how chaotic the Cao family was......

In short, all the situations are summed up, no matter how you look at the Cao family, there is no hope. If the emperor is generous and spares the lives of the queen and the crown prince, it is impossible for the latter to continue to sit on the throne of the prince, as for the Cao family, God knows when he will be exiled from the house? can escape with his life, it is already the emperor's grace. His family's allies and supporters in the officialdom have been unlucky too much, and no one knows why the emperor would use such thunderous means against the Yue family this time. It seems that the Cao family has done something that angered the emperor, and it is impossible to make up for it.

Wanqin's face became paler the more she listened, but the more she listened, the less she refuted her daughter's words. Ginkgo sent the medicine, Xie Yingfen served it to her biological mother, Wanqin drank it in one gulp very obediently, obviously packing up her mood and planning to take care of her body as soon as possible, so as to ask for the grace of the main room and let herself go out for the New Year. The Cao family, who once thought it was relied on, is no longer reliable, and almost all the eyes and ears of the Cao family stationed in Beiping have fled, and those who have changed to a new master have changed to a new master, even if Wanqin has not changed her mind, she can't do anything. Now where does she dare to hope that the Cao family can say good family affairs for her children? The serious young masters and ladies of the Cao family may not be able to talk about good family affairs!

However, Wanqin still asked Xie Yingfen about the situation of the old master Cao Shuqing. How could the envoy from Beijing know the news of a married daughter of the Cao family? Xie Yingfen naturally has nothing to comment. But she also relayed the opinions of several brothers and sisters: "The Cao family is already a married daughter, and if something happens to her mother's family, she will not be implicated." It's just that she is still the wife of the Fang family now, and she has not reconciled with Fang Wenshan. If something happened to Fang Wenshan, she wouldn't be able to escape. The Cao family is now unable to protect itself, Duchess Chengen and Ping Nanbo have both passed away, where can anyone find her husband's property and get rid of it for her like more than three years ago? I'm afraid it depends on whether Fang Wenshan still has some old feelings for her, and he can't bear to burden her, so he takes the initiative to divorce or divorce his wife. ”

Wanqin's face turned pale again. Of course, she knew that Cao Shuqing had been making peace with Fang Wenshan for nearly a year. How much affection can there be between this couple? And will something happen to Fang Wenshan? Isn't that obvious? She had long heard her mother's relatives chew her tongue, Cao Shuqing asked her mother's brother to help her reconcile, one of the reasons was that Fang Wenshan might be involved in a lawsuit of interest, maybe something would happen at any time, and it would be a great loss if she was implicated! Even her dowry and private house may not be able to be kept!

Not to mention, this reason is quite convincing, and it almost convinced Cheng Enhou. The reason why it didn't work in the end was that Cheng Enhou and his wife didn't plan to meddle in their sister's marriage, mainly because Cao Shuqing didn't leave the capital and relied on her brother and sister-in-law to survive, giving the Cao family enough time to embezzle her private property. When they finish swallowing, even if something happens to Fang Wenshan, the government will not be able to take away Cao Shuqing's private house. When the time comes, depending on the size of Fang Wenshan's crime, decide whether to help Cao Shuqing, an unconscious sister, reconcile and leave. If Fang Wenshan was just demoted or dismissed, and his life was fine, why did they let Cao Shuqing return and live in his own family, but he couldn't marry again because of his bad reputation? Without rich private property, and unable to marry to help the family, such a sister is useless at all, and will only add to people's blockage!

Thinking about Cao Shuqing's future, I am afraid that it may not be brighter than the Cao family, Wanqin really realized that she really made the right decision back then! Even if she can no longer get the favor of her husband Xie Pu, and she doesn't have the authority she used to have? She is now the aunt and grandmother of the second-grade high-ranking official, enjoying the glory and wealth, eating brocade clothes and jade, having both a son to support the elderly and a daughter to serve, where is she uncomfortable? In any case, she didn't have to face the risk of her master's house being raided and sold with her slaves! If her son fights more and earns her a life, she is only afraid that she will be more blessed than the old master Cao Shuqing!

Thinking about it this way, Wanqin's whole person's spirit is different, she is a little more active in drinking medicine and eating porridge, and she is willing to pay attention to her children, and she will send Ginkgo to see her son Xie Hanzhi, and tell him to have a good life and recuperate, don't always care about reading books and doing homework, which will burn down your body; will also tell her daughter Xie Yingfen: "You are not young anymore, now that the family affairs of your three sisters have been decided, you have not yet settled, why are you not in a hurry?" If the old lady has not said anything, and when I go out after the New Year, I must mention it to my wife! ”

Xie Yingfen's face suddenly turned red, thinking of her aunt Xie Meijun's previous hints at herself, as well as her mother-in-law's occasional revelations, her face turned even redder, and she stomped her feet and said: "I don't need my aunt to take care of this matter, anyway, my father and wife have their own arrangements!" Then he turned around and ran out.

Wanqin was stunned and couldn't help but smile bitterly. She is now so unpleasant in front of her husband and mother, she may really have no way to meddle in the marriage of her children. But no matter what, the fourth girl is also her flesh and blood. She is looking forward to the four girls marrying a rich and noble good family and enjoying all the glory in her life. Anyway, she still has a son. She couldn't afford to take care of her son, so she could only hope that her daughter's husband's family could help.

Xie Yingfen didn't know what thoughts were turning in her biological mother's mind, and after running out of the ear room, she took a few deep breaths in the veranda to calm herself down, and then returned to the main room and thanked her grandmother Wen for her grace. Wen asked about Wanqin's condition, and she answered them one by one.

Knowing that Wanqin was fine, Wen was much more relieved. She pointed to Xie Yingfen and pointed to the table full of letters in front of Xie Mulin and Xie Yinghui and said, "There are really a lot of people who are sick from the cold because of this heavy snow in the middle of the night. In the morning, Mrs. Yuan sent a letter to say that Mrs. Yuan was sick and that she was not feeling well, so she could only refuse the banquet and temporarily close the door to thank the guests. I'm discussing with your two sisters, should I send someone over to say hello? Then many families also wrote letters, some of them complained of illness, some of them had no idea to ask me for help in case of trouble, and some of them heard about Mrs. Yuan's illness and had to postpone the banquet and apologize to their relatives and friends. I still have things to do here, where can I get back to them one by one? You and your sisters can help me. ”

Xie Yingfen hurriedly agreed, came to the table, and squeezed together with the two sisters.

They were busy until lunchtime, and Wen beckoned them to stop writing first and talk about it after eating. Xie Yingfen put down the pen, looked back at the two sisters who were busy all morning, tired and had sore hands and back pain, and couldn't help but say, "Why is the third sister not here?" In fact, her handwriting is also good. When she was a child, she had a reputation as a talented woman, and it couldn't be easier for her to write a reply. I should have asked her to come and help me today, but why didn't I see anyone in the morning? ”

Xie Mulin snorted: "As soon as the sky changed, she hid in the house and refused to come out." Dedication is for benefit, not for hardship. How good is your third sister, how could she come to suffer at this time?! ”
