Chapter 428: Rising to the Challenge
For these people, Tong Shuangxi's family doesn't care, their family has more important things to care about, but there is still something wrong in their hearts......
Qiao Xian's "deliberate" behavior, in the words of Mrs. Wang, although it is "naΓ―ve", it is so cute.
Tong Shuangxi knew that it would be too late to "kick" people out of the house at this time, so he simply opened the courtyard door and welcomed people into the house.
Some time ago, Qiao Xian had been visiting a friend outside, but who knew that he heard about the general's mansion, so he hurried back.
Seeing that Tong Shuangxi's family was obviously much more deserted than before, and he didn't see Qian San's family, Qiao Xian's face showed a little anger.
Tong Shuangxi guessed what Qiao Xian was thinking, and hurriedly explained to him: "Third Uncle Qian's family is what we insist on letting them go, you can't be angry with them about this matter!" β
Although Qiao Xian is a famous talent, his personality is the most jealous and hateful, which is why others will more or less avoid the Tong Shuangxi family who are related to the General's Mansion, but he deliberately "rose to the challenge" and swaggered to the door.
"Are you stupid, you should avoid us at this time, if something really happens to the General's Mansion, it will affect you if you can't keep it!" Without waiting for Qiao Xian to say anything, Tong Shuangxi continued.
Hearing Tong Shuangxi's words, Qiao Xian explained a little embarrassedly: "I just heard that you have returned to the capital, thinking that I haven't seen my aunt for a long time, and I want her to make me stutter, so I came over." β
Listening to Qiao Xian's obvious nonsense, Tong Shuangxi couldn't help but glare at him.
Mrs. Wang was so happy that she shouted that she was going to make something for Qiao Xian.
Qiao Xian hurriedly thanked Mrs. Wang sweetly, and then took a serious look at Tong Shuangxi's obviously bulky body.
"I'm also going to be my uncle's person, you can also give me some face!"
Qiao Xian deliberately said to Tong Shuangxi in a deliberately aggrieved tone.
Since the farewell of the New Year, Qiao Xian has not seen Tong Shuangxi for more than half a year, although Qiao Xian knows about the affairs of Liuli Village from the letter, but the worry in his heart has not been less.
Especially when he heard that Tong Shuangxi was pregnant, Qiao Xian understood that he shouldn't have any ideas, but the sad idea in his heart made him can't help but drink a few more glasses at the family banquet.
At this time, looking at Tong Shuangxi, who was pregnant, Qiao Xian just wanted to protect the mother and daughter, and no longer had the slightest thought in his heart that he shouldn't have before.
Tong Shuangxi remembered his other cheap uncle Wang Fat, who had not had an accident, and at this time he must have been busy with Pei Shu for the affairs of the General's Mansion.
Tong Shuangxi couldn't help but be moved in his heart, but he said: "Then your uncle can be more stable in the future, don't take my child bad when the time comes." β
As soon as he heard Tong Shuangxi's words, Qiao Xian immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly promised again and again that he would definitely teach this eldest nephew to be the only good man in the world.
Hearing Qiao Xian's words, Tong Shuangxi couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.
The men in this world are the same, and they consciously regard the child in their belly as a boy, Wang Pang is also called a big nephew, and now Qiao Xian is like this.
Tong Shuangshuang, who had not spoken on the side, sat there a little unconvinced, his own uncle hadn't said anything yet, why did people like to rob "uncle" with others so much?
"I asked someone to inquire, Concubine Wu's maiden family is afraid that she is also involved in these things, you let General Wu pay attention to this family, but don't suffer a loss from them."
Qiao Xian talked about the purpose of coming over today.
Tong Shuangxi didn't expect that as soon as Qiao Xian came back, he would inquire about this.
"Why, the General's Mansion has always been kind to them, how could they frame the General's Mansion like this."
Tong Shuangxi asked a little puzzled.
Concubine Wu's family was originally a side branch of the Wu family, with hundreds of acres of land and a few shops at home, and several generations of people have been dependent on the general's family to live.
"It is precisely because the General's Mansion is so good to their family that they have thoughts that they should not have children." Such a person, a person from a big family like Qiao Xian understands and disdains the most.
Tong Shuangxi was dumbfounded.
"Why, everything in the General's Mansion now is bought by General Wuda's full of military injuries, how can these people have the face to delusion about this!"
If it is said that the General's Mansion has offended this family, Tong Shuangxi can still accept it, but he didn't expect them to want to replace the General's Mansion, which is too shameless.
"Just because their daughter is the emperor's favorite concubine, and because of the martial concubine, they gave birth to a little prince to the emperor."
Qiao Xian said with a sneering face.
In all dynasties, are there still few people who are brilliant because of these nepotism? I'm afraid that the martial arts family is also dreaming like this!
At this time, Tong Shuangxi didn't know whether to sympathize with Concubine Wu more or disdain her more.
"Do you think they'll succeed this time?"
Although she knew that she shouldn't have asked such a stupid question, Qiao Xian was someone Tong Shuangxi believed, so she wanted to ask.
Tong Shuangshuang also looked at Qiao Xian like his sister, these days, in order to avoid unnecessary things, Tong Shuangshuang has not been to the academy, he wants to help the family do something, but he is still young, so he can only guard his sister and aunt at home.
"A mere martial concubine can't control the Son of Heaven at all, I'm afraid that there is also the connivance of the Son of Heaven here, and now none of us know what the Son of Heaven is thinking, so we can only wait and see what happens."
These words, even if they are spoken, are already taking risks, not to mention that Qiao Xian is talking to someone who is not from Qiao's family, which is enough to show that Qiao Xian's trust in Tong Shuangxi's family.
Tong Shuangxi nodded, Pei Shu also said this to Tong Shuangxi, and now the whole capital is waiting to see what happens.
In addition to the emperor summoning the general into the palace every evening, there is no other movement on the Chen family's side except for the confinement, and it is said that all the expenses of the Chen family are supplied by the palace.
The people in the whole capital didn't know what kind of mind the Son of Heaven was.
The General's Mansion is not afraid of Concubine Wu's mother's family, nor is he afraid of Concubine Wu, what he is most afraid of is that the Son of Heaven is suspicious of the General's Mansion, which is also the reason why the General's Mansion cannot take a trace of action against Concubine Wu and the martial family behind Concubine Wu.
When Mrs. Wang's meal was ready, Pei Shu also came back from the Imperial Forest Army, with a round Wang Fat behind him.
Now Pei Shu is idle for a while because of his relationship with the General's Mansion, and even his daily duty has been replaced.
