Two hours later, a team of forbidden troops surrounded the Xie family, arrested the Xie family brothers with lightning speed, and seized the Xie family's treasury, as well as all the shops under the Xie family's name, and all the proceeds were returned to the state treasury.

The Xie brothers no longer expected that the court would take action when they told them, and they were both shocked and angry, and they took out the gold medal of the emperor's exoneration, trying to escape death. It's a pity that there is evidence of Xie Yilian's crimes before her death, plus the imperial court quickly found out the account books of their tax evasion and more evidence that is enough to punish them for capital crimes, they can't argue at all!

In this way, those who had been persecuted by the Xie family applauded, and went to the criminal department to complain bitterly about the crimes of the Xie brothers, and in just half a day, there were no less than 100 cases, which shows that the Xie brothers are heinous crimes, and it is no longer a problem to punish them with capital crimes. And they couldn't imagine that the one who sent them to the guillotine would be their own sister who made them want to kill in their hearts.

In the Warm Winter Pavilion of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the fourth lady Ji Shuxuan didn't mention how happy she was, her smiling face was sour, but she still couldn't stop the excitement, and kept saying, "Great, really good!

Nan Xuemeng also clapped her hands happily, "It's exactly! It's really good that Aunt Xie died, mother, I dare to say that the happiest person is my father, he has long seen Aunt Xie unpleasant, but because of the Xie family, he didn't dare to attack her, now it's okay, even the Xie family is over, and no one will press his father in the future!"

Ji Shuxuan sneered disdainfully, "It's not, whoever lets the second lady talk about her favors to the lord all day long, I can't stand it, let alone the master." But I really didn't expect that the second lady would sell the Xie family, it's really time for them to start this infighting!"

Although how the Xie family fell, the court did not publicize it everywhere, but when the guards went to the Xie family to get people, the Xie brothers shouted for a while, saying that they had the gold medal of exoneration given by the emperor, and the court had no right to arrest them, so the guards said casually, if it wasn't for the Xie family revealing the secret, the court would not investigate them, and when it came to the Xie family, the Xie brothers would not betray themselves, of course, it was the second lady's leaked secret, so there are still many people who know about this matter.

Nan Xuemeng laughed and said, "Mother, it's okay now, Aunt Xie is no longer in charge, and she can't deduct the food and clothing of our Nuan Dong Pavilion, I want to make beautiful clothes, I want the fabric of Wanyuefang, I want the best rouge gouache, I want them all!" It's no wonder that she is so happy, it's really that when Xie Yilian was in charge, she really didn't look down on the fourth room, so she gave very little money, at most to maintain their mother and daughter's family, if you have money to do something else.

Ji Shuxuan's smile froze, shook her head, and couldn't laugh anymore, "It's hard to say, the second lady is not at home, and it won't be my turn, Xue Meng, don't be too happy." "It's not that she belittles herself, among the ladies of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she is the least favored, the reason why the lord married her at the beginning was just because she was a distant relative of the old lady, and she had no relatives, so most of them were just out of pity.

Now that the old lady is long gone, the old man cares about this old feeling, and he didn't kick her out, which is good, but the daughter she gave birth to, Nan Xuemeng, is mediocre in appearance (in fact, very ugly), and her intelligence is even more average, no matter what aspect can not be compared with the other daughters of the Nan family, it is not of much use value to the master, even if Xie Yilian dies, this next housewife cannot be her.

Nan Xuemeng suddenly pouted unhappily, so she was not discouraged, "Why can't you be the mother and you are in charge?" You are not much worse than the other aunts!"

Ji Shuxuan smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "How can I compare with a few of them! The third child originally had a son Nanxu, and the lord once wanted to hand over the power to her, and the fifth child is now pregnant again, maybe she will also give birth to a son, and the lord will have to look at her differently, as for the sixth child, although she has no children now, she is young, and there is always a chance, what about me, I don't have anything." As she spoke, she was depressed for a while, and her eyes were red.

This is true. Nan Xuemeng frowned, why is he not a son, otherwise his mother can be more favored in front of his father, now, thinking about it, I feel that my mother has no chance, but she still cheers her up, "That's not necessarily, mother, no son doesn't mean that you don't have the opportunity to be a housewife, you see Aunt Xie, didn't she only give birth to a daughter, and she still has been a housewife for so many years." ”

Ji Shuxuan then shook her head and said disapprerovingly, "That's different, the reason why the second lady is so arrogant without a son is because the Xie family is behind her back." What is the origin of the Xie family, the guests of the imperial court, who does not sell them a little face, what about me, nothing, nothing, I can't compete with them. ”

As soon as Nan Xuemeng heard this, she felt more and more that there was no drama, and the high mood just now also fell, "Then what should I do? If Aunt Zhang or Aunt Mu are in charge, our house will still not have a good life, they only know that Xiang Nan Xueyu has cared about us a few times!"

Ji Shuxuan was quite helpless, "What can I do, Nan Xueyu is protected, even if she doesn't have the protection of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she doesn't have to worry about anything, if she marries King Yue and becomes a princess in the future, she may not be able to see the money of the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

She said this was originally a momentary anger, but unexpectedly reminded Nan Xuemeng with a word, and her eyes lit up, "That's exactly what she said! Mother, although you don't have a son, if you have the ability."

Son-in-law, can't you also get your father to look at her differently?" is like Aunt Xie, because of the Xie family, she has been arrogant for so many years.

Ji Shuxuan was stunned, and couldn't help laughing and scolding, "You girl! This kind of thing can also be said by you, a girl who has not yet left the cabinet? Besides, what kind of husband you want to find, it's not your father and the housewife who have the final say, I am a concubine, and I may not be able to say anything, can you be your own master?" Having said that, she agrees with her daughter's words, but she is really ashamed, her daughter is average in appearance, and her intelligence is not as good as Nan Xueyu, her own conditions are here, except for being the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is no outstanding place at all, what good family can you promise?

"That's not necessarily," Nan Xuemeng didn't know what she had in mind, her eyes were shining, and she yearned for it infinitely, "Who is the main line of the house, it's not necessarily, my father doesn't care about my business, mother, why don't we take this opportunity to plan well?" As long as their mother and daughter find a suitable family, and the other party is good for their father, I believe that my father will not refuse.

Ji Shuxuan said funny, "Xuemeng, are you serious? It seems that your daughter is older, and she is no longer staying, and she wants to get married, right? Speaking of which, her daughter is already sixteen years old, and she is at the age of marriage, because she is not favored, her daughter is not outstanding, and her marriage master doesn't care about it at all.

Nan Xuemeng is her daughter's family in the end, her face turned red when she heard this, and she denied it, but suddenly she had an idea, and she thought of someone, and suddenly became more and more ashamed, twisting her body and not clinging, "Mother, don't laugh at me, I'm also for your good, this is also our only chance." ”

"Okay, I know," Ji Shuxuan touched her head and said lovingly, "That's why my mother asked you what's on your mind, do you have a crush on a son, does the other party know, is it also interested in you, you didn't do anything, Xuemeng, don't you do anything wrong." "Since ancient times, I don't think my mother is ugly, and in the same way, mothers also feel that their daughters are the most intimate, even if their daughters are ugly, they are the same.

Nan Xue Meng laughed angrily, "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about, I didn't do anything, where do you want to go! I just, just look at him, he doesn't know, what can we do!"

"Oh?" Ji Shuxuan was really a little surprised, "Xuemeng, do you really have someone you like?Who is it, tell your mother!" "My daughter is by her side all day, and I haven't seen any man I meet, when did I have a sweetheart?"

"Me," Nan Xuemeng lowered her head with a blushing face, biting her lip and whispering, "Yes...... His Royal Highness the King of Yue. At the beginning, she wanted to enter the palace as an imperial concubine, even if Murong Jun was a fool, she didn't care, what she wanted was to be a master, so that she and her mother could live a happy life, so she didn't have the idea of relying on her husband to rise to prominence.

It's a pity that it backfired, on the day she went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to choose a concubine, she did her best, and Murong Jun didn't take a fancy to her, when the princess's dream was shattered, she had no other thoughts, and she was desperate for a while, feeling that her life was over. Unexpectedly, Murong Ye entered and exited the Prime Minister's Mansion several times, although it was not for her, his cold and resolute figure instantly entered her heart, making her forget it!

Yes, she knew that Murong Ye had a crush on Nan Xueyu, and she had never been disdainful of her, but she just liked him deeply, even if she knew that it might not have a result in the end, she couldn't control that she liked him, which made her very tormented and painful to death.

However, now that she has thought clearly, since she likes it, and Murong Ye and Nan Xueyu are not married, why should she embarrass herself so much?

"What?" Ji Shuxuan was stunned, suspecting that she had misheard, "King Yue, do you mean that the person you like is King Yue?" This, this is too much for her to believe, and her daughter doesn't know that King Yue likes Nan Xueyu, what kind of fun is she making!
