Chapter 153: Know
Mrs. Wang was stunned, as if she couldn't believe that her father-in-law would say such a heartless thing. She covered her face and cried bitterly: "How will my Ruofu live in the future!" β
Wang Jin was about to turn back to the study when he paused, and his eyes looked at his eldest son: "Xingxue, our Wang family can't tolerate unvirtuous women." If you connive at your daughter-in-law's nonsense again, the old man will come to the door in person and go to the Chu family to ask about the upbringing of their girls. β
Wang Jin's tone was extremely harsh, and he couldn't tolerate Wang Fan's perfunctory behavior at all.
Looking at his father, who was so calm that he was almost cold, Wang Fan's heart felt as if it had been cut open by a blunt knife and split into two halves. Half is the father and the royal family, and half is the wife and daughter.
"Good! Very good! This is the old man's good son! The hesitation of the eldest son has given the answer.
Wang Jin's heart swelled with deep disappointment, this son who was the most proud of him, is now trapped in personal affairs, turning a blind eye to the current predicament of the Wang family, indecisive, and difficult to achieve! It's not even as good as Qingyun's little daughter.
"If you are on a hunger strike, are you distressed as a father?" Wang Jin snorted, and his stern tone was like a slap in the face!
"Xingxue, you listen to me, the Wang family is now sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. No matter who it is, they can't hold the family back. The family has fed you for so many years, if anyone has resentment, let the old man get out of the Wang family! β
After Wang Jin finished speaking, his footsteps did not pause in the slightest. Turned around and went back to the study.
Leaving Wang Fan and his wife behind, Mrs. Wang grabbed her husband's arm hard, her sharp nails tightly embedded in Wang Fan's flesh, and her eyes were full of despair.
Unwilling! She is not reconciled! Her daughter is talented, young and beautiful, and now she is eighteen years old, can she have a future!
Can't sit still! Mrs. Wang's heart was ruthless.

The evening breeze was a little cool, and Xie Yanhe wore a madder-colored cloak and swayed leisurely on the swing frame in the yard.
"The county lord, the porter has come to report, and a little beggar has sent a letter. The slave has asked people to check, but unfortunately no one has been found. The mandarin duck held a thin envelope in his hand and sent it to Xie Yanhe.
"What is written in the letter?" Xie Yanhe's tone was lazy. Since the marriage with Wei Zhao was engaged, her heart was empty, and the whole person was not only a lot more cheerful, but even the lingering gloom and sense of urgency in her heart was gone.
For example, Gong Mama and Mandarin Duck, who served closely, were even more pleased with the changes in Xie Yanhe's body.
But today is a little different, and the mandarin duck said in embarrassment: "County lord, you better see for yourself." β
Xie Yanhe's feet were on the ground, and the swing that was still swaying stopped for a moment. Under the orange sunset, her green silk was flying, her jade face and red lips, and a pair of slightly squinted peach blossom eyes flashed, like a fairy.
"Bring it." Xie Yanhe took the envelope, took out a thin piece of letter paper from it, and quickly finished reading it.
The light smile on the corner of her lips was put away, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and a pair of peach blossom eyes flashed with cold light: "Let Lin Dong go and investigate, be sure to find out the person who sent the letter." β
"Yes, county lord!" When the mandarin duck sent the envelope to Xie Yanhe, he had already read the contents of the letter, so he naturally knew the seriousness of the matter.
She said solemnly: "County Lord, do you say that the news on this letter is true or false?" β
Hearing this, Xie Yanhe's red lips hooked up a cold arc, and her cold voice seemed to have fallen a layer of ice and snow, and she said lightly: "It's better to believe it than not to believe it." Immediately send the news out with carrier pigeons. β
"Yes, county lord!" The stakes are very high, after the mandarin duck finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Xie Yanhe got up from the swing, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Mama Wang: "You said that Old Madam Wang wants to invite me to the door as a guest?" β
"County lord, although this is what the old lady meant, but the old lady also said that if the county lord feels embarrassed......
Xie Yanhe raised his hand, his eyes flowed, and he said with a smile: "It's not too embarrassing. It's a big deal to be scolded by my sister-in-law. β
Xie Yanhe's words, Mama Wang couldn't answer it.
Although she is a servant of the Wang family and has a deep friendship with the old master, Wang Qingyun, the wife of the Marquis of Jingping, has grown up since she was a child, and the family has followed Wang Qingyun to serve, and she has long been with the Xie family.
Despite this, Mama Wang had no way to ignore Mrs. Wang's pleas. She knows best how hard the old lady's life was after Mrs. Hou and the Wang family fell out.
Mama Wang's heart was at war with heaven and man, and in the end, it was her selfishness that prevailed.
Mama Wang gritted her teeth, lowered her voice and said, "County lord, the old slave guesses that the Wang family invited you to be a guest, it should be for Miss Eldest Sun." β
Xie Yanhe raised her eyebrows, she knew the population of the Wang family well, the eldest Sun in Mama Wang's mouth was the eldest daughter of the royal family, and her name was Ruofu.
"Mama, you know, I have been living in the palace for a long time in the past few years, although I have a sister-in-law's relationship, but I am not familiar with several young ladies of the Wang family. Did something happen to Wang Ruofu? β
Xie Yanhe's peach blossom eyes flashed, and his tone was a little puzzled. Wang Ruofu's father is a member of the three grades in the court, and his grandfather is even more of a court chief, if the Wang family has no choice, what can she help.
Since Mama Wang has said everything to this, she doesn't want to help the Wang family hide it anymore. Although Mrs. Wang didn't reveal half of her tone, Mama Wang had a few familiar old sisters in the house, and after a little inquiry, she guessed the matter.
In Mama Wang's heart, there is no one more important than the eldest lady who raised her own milk, so she can only say sorry to Mrs. Wang.
"County Lord, Miss Ruofu of the Wang family is eighteen years old this year, and she has not yet been engaged."
Although Xie Yanhe knew that Wang Ruofu had not yet married, he had never thought about the reason for this before.
Her clear and smart peach blossom eyes instantly became deep and quiet, quietly waiting for Mama Wang's next words.
Mama Wang pursed her lips, her eyes drooping slightly, as if this could alleviate the guilt in her heart.
Mama Wang's voice revealed a little dryness: "The daughter of the Wang family is not worried about getting married!" But Wang Ruofu is still in the boudoir until now, because ...... Because the king's plan is very great. β
"I see." Xie Yanhe understood the meaning of Mama Wang's words, and she thanked Mama Wang very sincerely: "Thank you Mama for telling me." β
If it weren't for Mama Wang's words, she would have gone to the palace another day, and her eyes would have been black.
"The county lord is polite, although the old slave came out of the Wang family, now he is from the Hou Mansion. and the Hou Mansion are prosperous. Mama Wang couldn't do two things to please her, and now that she said it, the stone in her heart suddenly fell to the ground.
She thought: It is impossible to realize the plan of the Hengzhu Wang family, she is a person from the past, how can she not see that there is only one county lord of Yonghe in the eyes of His Majesty. Since this is the case, it is not indebted to the Wang family.
"I still need to talk to my sister-in-law about this." If Xie Yanhe's relationship with Wang Qingyun is just ordinary, and it is related to Wang Qingyun's mother's family, the two will inevitably fall out because of this incident.
But Xie Yanhe and Wang Qingyun are not ordinary sisters-in-law, in Xie Yanhe's heart, Wang Qingyun is also a sister and a mother to her, and Wang Qingyun treats her sister-in-law as a daughter to pamper, and the relationship between the two is not ordinary close. Since the Wang family has such a plan, it is naturally difficult to hide it from Wang Qingyun.
"The county lord can rest assured, after the slave and maid noticed it, she had already sent a letter to Mrs. Hou." Mama Wang had no intention of hiding it from Wang Qingyun from the beginning.
"Mama is really meticulous." For a loyal servant like Mama Wang, who is also the nurse of her sister-in-law, Xie Yanhe respects her very much, and she promises: "Mama rest assured, the Xie family will never lose Mama's future." β
Xie Yanhe knew that Mama Wang had a young son who was very talented in reading, and he expected that his sister-in-law would definitely give Mama Wang's young son a new birthday.
Mama Wang is an old man, where she still doesn't understand what Xie Yanhe means, she looked surprised, and kowtowed to Xie Yanhe: "The old slave thanked the county master!" β
After dinner, Xie Yanhe walked around the garden to digest his food, and then went to bed, but fell asleep after a while.
There seemed to be a wind in the night, Xie Yan and a pair of jade arms exposed outside the brocade quilt felt a chill on her face, she couldn't help but turn over, a quiet sleeping face towards the outside of the bed, delicate red lips pouted, and fell asleep again.
There was a surge of heat in her ears, accompanied by a low laugh, and there was a tingling itch on Xie Yanhe's face, and she couldn't help but open her eyes.
The light in the bed tent was extremely dim, and a huge shadow was shrouded in front of him, and Xie Yanhe was startled and about to open his mouth to call for help.
Wei Zhao hurriedly covered her red lips and said softly, "Don't be afraid, it's me." β
Xie Yan and a pounding heart fell back into her chest steadily, and she said angrily, "Is Your Majesty crazy? I almost scared you to death! β
The girl stared at her eyes and thought she was fierce, but in fact she was clear and delicate, with a coquettishness and charm like a begonia spring sleep, Wei Zhao's heart moved, and a gentle kiss fell on Xie Yanhe's eyes.
Xie Yanhe's eyelashes trembled, and when Wei Zhao's lips left, she opened her eyes very shyly.
"Sleep, I don't see you for a day, I miss you." Wei Zhao grabbed Xie Yanhe's soft, put it to his lips and pecked and kissed it.
The back of Xie Yanhe's hand was stimulated by the coldness, and she couldn't help shrinking back, and she complained softly: "Then you shouldn't be like a disciple and break into the boudoir at night." β
Wei Zhao smiled lowly and said insincerely, "It's my mistake. I'll come here during the day next time. β
Xie Yan and a pair of peach blossom eyes widened, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, don't think that I don't know, fiancΓ©s, where to meet at will." β
After Xie Yanhe finished speaking, looking at the chill on Wei Zhao's body, his heart softened, he held Wei Zhao's big palm, his cherry lips pursed slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Wei Zhao's palm was numb, and the place where Xie Yanhe had blown his breath seemed to be running up with an electric current, making his entire arm stiffen.
Wei Zhao's inky eyes were a little puzzled. What is this doing?
"Did Your Majesty come on horseback? It's so cold! How did those palace people serve, and don't you know how to add a cloak to you? Xie Yanhe said with a frown.
It turned out that the little girl was warming herself. Wei Zhao suddenly brightened, and his mood was extremely good. His eyebrows are flying, his thin lips are hooked with a very shallow arc, the smile in his ink eyes can't be suppressed, and his heroic facial features look extremely handsome. "Is Mianmian distressed?"
Xie Yanhe secretly spat at Wei Zhao, and said stiffly: "Who feels sorry for you!" Freeze to death you'd better! β
A series of clear chuckles escaped Wei Zhao's throat, obviously seeing through her duplicity.
