Chapter 353: Touching the Melon
Old Madam Xie's face moved when she heard this.
Xie Yuan said on the side: "You mean, they will take the initiative to contact that person?" ”
"Possibly."
Su Ruan just wanted to take the opportunity to see if he could find that Emperor An.
If her guess was right, then no one knew Andy's identity at all, and he naturally wouldn't guard against them from tricking him.
If Emperor An really hid at the feet of this Son of Heaven through his identity, and Yue Rong and the others were sure that it would be impossible for outsiders to know Emperor An's identity, and they would find an opportunity to meet him or have an intersection, she would be able to arrest him.
And as long as they know what Emperor An's current identity is, they can also find out who is secretly helping him.
It's just that this stems from her speculation, so Su Ruan didn't dare to pack the ticket.
"Hou Ye also said that after Yue Rong's father and son entered Beijing, they rarely interacted with people, let alone got too close to anyone, either wandering around or staying in the house and not going out, maybe they already knew that someone was watching from the side and did not dare to contact people."
"When they came to the Xie family, I am afraid they also meant to test the hearts of Hou Ye and his grandmother, and wanted to know what Hou Ye did after he came back from Zhangning, in this case, we might as well plan and maybe deceive the people behind them."
"Even if we really don't get anything by then, we're just going to have to put in a lot of effort."
Xie Yuan was really annoyed that he was so clueless now, and he was moved by Su Ruan's words, "This is a solution, what do you think, mother?" ”
Mrs. Xie said, "I also think it's okay." ”
But she pondered for a moment and then said:
"It's not difficult to find an excuse to hold a banquet, Qing Heng now has some face in the East Palace, and it is easy to take the lead in inviting those sons and brothers in Beijing to come to the mansion on his ground, but if all the men come, it is inconvenient for you to come forward, but if you invite a woman, it is even more troublesome."
Su Ruan and Xie Qingheng both value Old Madam Xie equally.
If you just invite the princes of various provinces, Su Ruan will show up, I am afraid that she will be rumored to hate to marry.
But if you invite the ladies of various provinces, there is no suitable reason.
Xie Qingheng is now at the age of kissing, and many people in Beijing are staring at him, and Mrs. Xie knew that Xie Qingheng was dedicated to his career, so she temporarily suppressed his marriage on the grounds that Xie Qingheng had just entered the East Palace.
At this time, if you invite someone over, I am afraid that you will be misunderstood, and if you get entangled in it, it will be more than worth the loss.
Old Madam Xie squinted slightly, thought for a while and said:
"It's a bit inappropriate to hold a banquet in the house, but on the third day of spring at the beginning of next month, there will be an annual activity on the outskirts of the city, and in addition to the Qingpan, there will be some poetry clubs, chess clubs, and even activities such as talent competitions,"
"At this time of year, most of the young men and women in Beijing will go, and even some people who are married will go there to have a lively good intention."
"If the person behind the Bo family is really hiding in Beijing through his identity as you said, then he will definitely not let go of this opportunity to tap talents and make friends with people, and if he invites people to the mansion, those people will definitely be wary of us, and maybe they won't dare to show up."
"But if it's on the outskirts of the city, under the hustle and bustle, it should also make them less vigilant and make an appointment with confidence."
Su Ruan was a little strange when she heard Old Madam Xie say that the banquet was inappropriate, and then she understood what she was worried about.
After listening to Old Madam Xie's words, she thought for a while before saying:
"It's still grandmother's thoughts."
"It's just that Yue Rong's father and son are afraid that they are going to return to Zhangning, can grandmother keep them until the day of the beginning of spring?"
When Yue Rong talked to Mrs. Xie before, he said that they would not stay in Beijing for long.
Su Ruan originally said that staying in Yue Rong was just looking for an excuse, but later he felt that it was a good thing to keep them in Beijing.
If she can successfully recognize Emperor An, identify his current identity, and arrest the others by touching the melon, she can find a way to tell Xie Yuan and Qi Wenfu to take people down, and this Yue Rong father and son will naturally not be able to escape.
Even if she can't find An Di, it is common to keep them under her nose, and she can always find some flaws after a long time, which is better than letting them go back to Zhangning.
Old Madam Xie's face turned a little cold when she heard this: "It's not easy to keep them?" ”
"Aren't they here today to find out the news, then give them some news."
"Only those who have done bad things will be thieves, as long as they are suspicious of what we have found, it may affect their so-called big plan, but when they don't need me to stay, they will naturally not leave."
After speaking, Old Madam Xie looked at Xie Yuan, Xie Yuan understood, nodded and said:
"Mother rest assured, I know what to do."
……
When Old Madam Xie led Xie Yuan and Su Ruan to appear in the dining hall, the smile on her face was gone, and there was still a bit of anger between her eyebrows.
"The old lady is finally here." Jiang Xuan grinned.
Old Madam Xie reluctantly smiled, "It's not an outsider, what's polite, if I don't come, you can eat first." ”
"Then where can I do it, I have to move the chopsticks first, my mother has to break my hand."
Weiwu glanced at him, saw that Mrs. Xie's face was a little wrong, and said in a low voice: "Old lady, but what happened?" ”
Old Madam Xie pursed her lips, "It's okay, let's eat it quickly." ”
Seeing that she refused to say, Weiwu didn't ask again.
After Mrs. Xie beckoned a few people to move their chopsticks, Mother Liu brought her favorite sweets.
The little girl on the side stepped forward with the white fungus soup, who knew that when she was about to put down the soup bowl in her hand, she suddenly slipped under her feet, although she hugged the soup bowl tightly and didn't let go, but the soup in it splashed out and fell on Yue Rong, who was picking vegetables.
Seeing this, Mrs. Xie immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks with a "bang", and said angrily: "What are you eating, can't you even hold a soup bowl steadily?!" ”
The little girl was startled, her face turned pale and she knelt down.
Mother Liu was shocked, and hurriedly took a handkerchief and came over to wipe Yue Rong's shoulder.
Yue Rong saw that Old Madam Xie was angry, and hurriedly said: "It's not a big deal, it's just a soup, just wipe it." ”
Who knew that Mrs. Xie said: "What is a little soup, this is not hot people, if you burn people, you can't pay for her skin!" Mother Liu, take this girl out to beat twenty boards, fine her for three months, and tell her to teach her a long lesson! ”
Mother Liu, who was wiping the soup for Yue Rong, was startled, and turned her head to look at Mrs. Xie.
Old Madam Xie said angrily: "Look at it, don't bring people down yet!" ”
"Old lady......"
Twenty boards, Xun Zhu, this girl can't get out of bed for half a month?
Su Ruan was surprised to see that the table was full of people, even Mother Liu felt that the punishment was too heavy, she hurriedly said: "Grandmother, Xun Zhu didn't mean it, it's still in the middle of the New Year, don't hit the board, it's unlucky to see how bad the blood is......"
As she spoke, she hurriedly glanced at Mother Liu:
"Mother Liu, you let Xunzhu go down first, so as not to make your grandmother angry again."
