There was another long silence.

Xie Jun's eyes were extremely complicated, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

After a while, he whispered: "If you don't want to, this matter will be settled." After a pause, Xie Jun sighed again: "I only found out today that you hate Aunt Ding so much!" ”

hated so much that he would rather give up his identity as a concubine than be corrected by Aunt Ding's wish.

Xie Mingxi tugged at the corners of his mouth, and a ruthless coldness flashed in his eyes: "Father is wrong, I don't hate her, I just don't want to see her." ”

If Aunt Ding is corrected, she will inevitably return to Xie Mansion.

Xie Yuanting became a son-in-law, and he would also be taken back to the Xie family.

With Aunt Ding's temperament, I don't know how many rights and wrongs to set off in the back house. Even if she gets married in the future, she has to be in front of people and her mother-in-law and brother.

She certainly does it well. As long as she is willing, she can even endure hatred and pretend to be a filial daughter in front of others.

But why did she wronged herself like this?

"In terms of background, even if I am a concubine, I am actually not worthy of being the concubine of the Seventh Emperor."

Xie Mingxi said the fact that the father and daughter knew well: "The queen's marriage has nothing to do with my background. If it weren't for the deep affection of the Seven Princes, if it weren't for the fact that I was known to all the celebrities I learned, and if I wasn't Gu Shanchang's favorite disciple, I would only have the position of a side concubine at most. ”

"Now that the family affair has been decided, changing from a concubine to a concubine is no different from putting gold on your face, which is just making people laugh."

So, my father didn't have to worry about it. Let Aunt Ding and Xie Yuanting live in the grange! ”

Xie Jun had no choice but to nod.

In front of Guanghua's daughter, who was gradually showing his sharp wrists, his father obviously had no majesty at all...... That's it! He can even endure the arrogance of the county lord of Yongning, his daughter is more powerful, what can't he bear?

Xie Jun quickly adjusted his mentality, and opened his mouth to ask: "Always live in the grange, there must be a reasonable reason." It is better to announce to the outside world that Yuan Ting has a serious illness, and Aunt Ding insists on taking care of her son herself. ”

Xie Mingxi's eyes showed approval: "Evil diseases are contagious, so you can only avoid going to the Grange." ”

Such an excuse is sufficient to deal with the inquiries of the good deeds.

Xie Jun nodded in response.

……

After drinking and eating, and having finished what should be said, Xie Jun got up and left.

Xie Mingxi personally sent Xie Jun to the gate of the academy and told him softly: "The spring is cold, so be more careful on the road." ”

The occasional sharpness has quietly converged. At this time, Xie Mingxi was the original caring and filial daughter again.

Xie Jun said goodbye to Xie Mingxi with mixed emotions and rode on a horse. As he turned the corner, Xie Jun subconsciously turned his head to take a look.

The entrance of the Lotus Pond Academy was empty.

Xie Mingxi didn't stay where he was at all to look at his father's back.

Xie Jun: "......"

Xie Jun, who was amorous to himself, returned to Xie Mansion a little depressed.

Old lady Xie, who was already able to stay and move around, heard that Xie Jun had returned to the house, came in person, and asked eagerly: "Ah Jun, did you tell Ming Niang?" ”

Xie Jun sighed: "Ming Niang is unwilling. Then, he said everything Xie Mingxi had said.

Old lady Xie was dumbfounded, and sighed for a long time: "She doesn't want to, forget it." ”

The father and son discussed this matter several times, originally for the sake of Xie Mingxi's background. Unexpectedly, Xie Mingxi didn't appreciate it at all. In this case, Aunt Ding's mother and son can only stay in the grange all the time.

Old lady Xie quickly cheered up again: "You and the county lord of Yongning have reconciled, there are only two concubines in the house, and there is no master mother, so it will not be the same." It's better to remarry a wife! ”

Xie Jun is in his thirties, in the prime of his life, and he was born handsome, and he is a fourth-grade official. It is not difficult to remarry a lady who wants to renew his wife.

Xie Jun refused without thinking: "No need. ”

Old Lady Xie frowned, looking unhappy: "Why is this?" ”

Xie Jun helplessly looked at the old lady Xie who was not clear enough: "Ming Niang doesn't want Aunt Ding to be straightened, and the position in this main room can only be vacant." If I remarry and give birth to a son-in-law, where will I put my mother? ”

married another wife and entered the door, which is Xie Mingxi's mother-in-law.

Xie Mingxi refused to even be perfunctory with his mother, how could he be willing to have another mother-in-law on his head?

Old Lady Xie reacted at this time, and said reluctantly: "I'm also thinking about you." If you don't remarry, my father can still force you to marry. ”

"Father, Yuanting is in ruins, Yun Niang refuses to return to the Xie family, she is four years old and five years young, and she will be able to grow up in more than ten years." Xie Jun said in a low voice: "Now, the only thing the Xie family can count on is Ming Niang!" ”

"There are some things that she doesn't have to say more, I should think about it a little more."

If there is something to rely on, you must bow your head and give way.

Xie Jun is familiar with this kind of thing, and he has no psychological burden.

Old Lady Xie also quickly figured it out, nodded and said, "You're right." Since she has to rely on Ming Niang in the future, it is really not good for her to have an extra mother-in-law. Don't marry! ”

"It doesn't hurt to take two more beautiful concubines and have more heirs in the future."

This statement is quite in line with Xie Jun's heart: "What my father said is reasonable. ”

……

On the same night, Aunt Ding and Xie Yuanting, mother and son, were also talking in the house......

To be precise, it was Xie Yuanting who was resentful and unwillingly scolding.

This is a very remote small grange, with only more than 100 acres of land.

There is only one couple in the Zhuangzi who are over half a hundred years old, the man is in charge of the grange, which is regarded as a small village, and the woman does some rough work such as sprinkling and sewing. Except for the two of them, I don't see anyone else at all on weekdays.

When Xie Yuanting was sent to the Grange, he was unconscious and covered in bruises.

Xie Qingshan put down the two bottles of wound medicine and went back to Xie's mansion.

Relying on these two bottles of wound medicine, Xie Yuanting's skin injury recuperated for several months, and he finally barely recovered. The right arm and right leg are not thorough, and the right leg will be slightly lame after walking for a long time, and the right arm cannot lift heavy objects.

He wore a coarse cloth garment. Every day, there is coarse tea and light rice, and I can't even see a single meat.

Both mother and son have lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their faces are dark yellow. Aunt Ding has lost the charm of the past, with a few wrinkles on her forehead, and she looks several years old.

Xie Yuanting was no longer handsome, his eyes were full of resentment, and his face was faintly distorted: "...... How long am I going to stay in this hellish place! ”

"No food, no clothing, no fun, nothing. I've had enough of being alone with you all day! ”

Aunt Ding forced a smile to comfort: "Isn't there four books and five classics, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?" You are studying here alone, but you are also pure and comfortable......"

Xie Yuanting suddenly became angry: "I am the son of the Xie family, how can I live in such a ghost place!" I just recuperated from my injuries before, but now my injuries are almost better, I want to go back to the capital and go back to Xie Mansion! ”
