Recently, the Cao family has been really lively. Rumors about them spread everywhere in Jinling City, and even the small people in the streets and alleys of Shengdou had some people chattering about the gossip they had heard from somewhere, and they were enthusiastically discussing the grievances, loves, hatreds, and hatreds that occurred within the most prominent relatives and magnates of this dynasty.

The Cao family's big house and second room accused the widow of the third room and the aunt's wife who returned from the big house of being unfilial to the Duchess Chengen, and returned to each other for discord with the sister-in-law.

The widow of the third room hinted that the elder brother and sister-in-law of the big house were responsible for the sudden stroke and serious illness of the Duchess of Cheng'en, and accused them of preventing the Duchess of Cheng'en from seeing her old man in order to cover up their conspiracy.

The Cao family's big house and second room accused the widow of the third room of spreading rumors to cover up their unfilial actions.

and the aunt's wife, who has returned from Dagui, was found to be about to remarry the object of the scandal, and it was just a few days after her brother died. According to an insider's analysis, this is probably the reason why she turned against her sister-in-law and nephew.

Mrs. He's aunt who returned from Dagui did not deny her marriage, but joined her sister-in-law's accusations against the Cao family's big house and second room.

Duchess Chengen revealed her disappointment in her daughter, son, daughter-in-law and grandson through the imperial doctor sent by the palace to diagnose her pulse, claiming that the eldest son and daughter-in-law were very filial to her and did not poison herself, and the so-called rumors were completely fabricated. However, she did not admit that the quarrel between her daughter and daughter-in-law caused her condition to worsen, but said that her daughter and third daughter-in-law were just ordinary quarrels, but the eldest daughter-in-law was too worried about her condition, so she made a fuss.

Among them, the grievances and hatred between the Cao family and the returning aunt and her ex-husband, as well as the marriage contract between the aunt's daughter and her cousin, and other relevant information have also been mentioned.

There are many melon eaters in Jinling City, even the Xie family, who have been sitting at home and sorting their luggage, is no exception. For this reason, Xie Huizhi had to go to the Cao family's place to find his friend Cao Rong, who had already said goodbye, to inquire about the news.

However, Cao Rong's family, as a small role in the Cao family's land, can't intervene in this kind of infighting between the two major descendants of the Cao family at all, at most they just provide Xie Huizhi with some gossip. Xie Huizhi could only inquire that Xie Yinghui was safe and sound, and there was nothing he could do about it.

However, he did inquire that the marriage contract between Xie Yinghui and Cao Wenheng seems to have been tacitly agreed by the mothers of both parties, and they can be officially engaged as long as Cao Wenheng's filial piety period ends. At present, because the Cao family is about to leave Beijing, in order to avoid suspicion, he plans to send his daughter to the Duchess of Chengen. Duchess Ke Cheng'en refused to accept her granddaughter, which caught the Cao family off guard. These days, it is precisely because the Cao family and the Cheng family went to ask to see the Duchess of Chengen respectively that the rumors about the Hou Chengenhou couple under house arrest and drugging their stepmother will become more and more intense.

Xie Huizhi hurriedly informed his family of the news he heard, and Wen was worried when he heard it: "What is this called?" The Cao family is infighting, why did Sister Hui get involved? When the master was at home, he repeatedly said that Sister Hui'er's marriage must be decided by him, and he must not nod, and the Cao family must not decide Sister Hui'er's marriage without authorization. The Pingnanbo Mansion should know this, why is it talking nonsense now? ”

Although Ping Nanbo's death was a decision made by Empress Cao and Marquis Chengen, there were also factors behind Xie Pu's complaint. Xie Cao's two families are already mortal enemies, and now they are just controlled by the situation, and they are just making an illusion of peaceful coexistence on the surface. Xie Pu would never agree to marry his daughter to the son of Ping Nanbo, and Mrs. Ping Nanbo should not agree to let her son marry the daughter of the Xie family. What are these rumors? Once everyone in Jinling City confirms that Xie Yinghui and Cao Wenheng's marriage contract is true, it will be difficult for her to talk about good family affairs in the future!

Wen was worried about her husband's eldest daughter.

And Xie Xianzhi, who is Xie Yinghui's brother, is really angry: "How can this be true! The Cao family deceives people too much! He noticed that Pingnanbofu had no good intentions towards his sister, and he wanted to bring her home immediately.

But Xie Jinzhi, Xie Mulin and Xie Huizhi still persuaded him. Because Xie Yinghui can't go back to Xie's house, the biggest obstacle is herself. She doesn't want to come back, she wants to continue to stay in Pingnanbo's Mansion, who can force her?

Xie Xian's heart was painful, and he sat down on the chair weakly, only to feel dazed.

Xie Mulin said: "I actually think the situation of the Cao family is a little weird, what's going on with Duchess Chengen?" Why didn't she agree to let her big sister live with her? If she nodded her head, the eldest sister would not have to follow her mother to the north, and she would not have to worry about staying in Pingnanbo's mansion and being bullied by Mrs. Pingnanbo and Cao Wenheng. Although Duchess Chengen may not be biased towards her son and grandson in her heart, she is not too ruthless to her granddaughter. ”

Xie Xianzhi perked up a little: "This thing is really weird, my grandmother has always treated my eldest sister very well." My eldest sister is more well-behaved and likable than me, and in front of my grandmother, she has always been more pleasing to her old people than me. Regardless of whether her grandmother agrees with her mother's remarriage, or opposes her eldest sister's relationship with Cao Wenheng, she has no reason to turn her eldest sister away. ”

Xie Jinzhi said: "It is impossible for Duchess Chengen to object to Ling Tang's remarriage, and Ling Tang's relationship with Fang Wenshan has been decided for several months. And the eldest sister now lives in Pingnanbo's mansion and gets along with Cao Wenheng day and night. If Duchess Chengen opposes their family affairs, she should take her eldest sister to her side and prevent the two from meeting again. And if she doesn't object, there's no reason why she won't accept someone. ”

Xie Mulin thought for a while: "Is it difficult...... Duchess Cheng'en is not safe enough, she doesn't want her granddaughter to fall into danger? Think about the rumors outside, didn't it say that Cheng Enhou and his wife poisoned their stepmother, making her seriously ill, and they also put the responsibility on Mrs. Ping Nanbo and the eldest brother's mother-in-law? ”

Xie Xianzhi's face changed: "If this rumor is not groundless, then ...... Could it be that it was because of the death of his uncle, and the eldest uncle was afraid that his grandmother would investigate it, so he used the method of medicine to stop his grandmother from making trouble? ”

This speculation was too terrifying, Xie Xianzhi once again found that the relatives of his uncle's family he knew before were even more ruthless than he originally thought, and he didn't even notice it!

He couldn't sit still, this kind of thing is useless to guess on his own, and he needs facts to prove it. He motioned to Calamus and Qingsong, who had greatly recovered from their injuries, and took some of the personal belongings of the maidens and mothers-in-law found from the Xie family's mansion, and returned to the Cao family in private in the name of "returning old things to former girlfriends/relatives and friends" to inquire about the news from the deceased.

Calamus and Qingsong brought him more information, which seemed to confirm the conjecture of their brothers and sisters from the side, which was not impossible.

Qingsong even inquired that because Duchess Chengen refused to accept her granddaughter, Xie Yinghui refused to follow her mother to the north, but staying in Pingnanbo Mansion was easy to gossip, so the latest plan discussed by the Cao family and the Cheng family was to let Xie Yinghui live in the Ningguo Marquis Mansion and be taken care of by the Cheng Wang family.

Xie Xianzhi heard the news, and his face became even more ugly.

Xie Mulin couldn't help but spit out: "Big brother, is Ling Tang's brain in water?" Cheng Wang's maiden brother almost killed his father and ended up burying his own life. And Pingnanbo's mansion stood by and watched, resulting in the death of Cheng Wang's mother's family. The Xie, Cao, and Wang families are enemies at all, and anyone in the Cheng family is likely to be friendly with the Cao Xie family, but the Cheng Wang family is the most untrustworthy.

"I don't know why Mrs. Ping Nanbo can still be friends with Cheng Wang's family casually, and she is not wary at all, but she is still her aunt and sister-in-law. Ling Tang also has such an idea, isn't it too naïve? If she really wants to find a place to house her daughter, can't she send her back to the Xie family? Isn't our family safer than the Cheng family? Isn't the relationship with the big sister closer?! ”
