Xue Heng is the head of the Xue family, and he is also the person with the highest official position, and he came in person, or as the woman's parent, which shows that the Xue family attaches great importance to this marriage.

Of course, this time I came just to ventilate and talk about some things to be said in advance, such as Xue Heng has to explain Xue Jinqiao's "illness", and Shen Yueshan has to explain Shen Yunan's situation, whether there are women around him, whether there are hidden diseases on his body, etc.

This is the sincerity of the two sides to get married, so as not to make trouble in the end to the point where the marriage cannot be achieved but the enmity is formed.

"Daddy, will it go well?" Shen Xihe was a little worried.

Don't look at the Shen family's burning oil, high-ranking officials are generous, but they all know that prosperity is bound to decline, and they also know that His Majesty can't tolerate the Shen family. Xue Heng was able to come in person, which was really beyond Shen Xihe's expectations, after all, many big families were unwilling to take this risk, but the Xue family was a family with a hundred years of roots.

"Gong Xue said that the Xue family handed it over to him to deal with, and he only hopes that your brother will have a good life for Xue Qiniang." Shen Yueshan was very satisfied with Xue Heng's attitude.

Shen Xihe also hopes that everything will go well, it is rare that his brother has the idea of getting married, if he is not in the northwest, Shen Yueshan is open-minded, I am afraid that he will become a talking point after dinner, Cui Jinbai is an excellent example.

Xue Heng brought Xue Jinqiao to the county lord's mansion, in fact, there were not many people who speculated, because Xue Jinqiao had long been a frequent visitor to the county lord's mansion, and no one thought about his children's family, but this matter could not be hidden from the Xue family.

As Xue Jinqiao's biological father, Xue Li was the first to disagree: "Fifth uncle, this matter is not allowed!" ”

"I am not consulting with you, but I am informing you." Xue Heng said coldly.

"Yes...... But we are Qi Niang's biological father......" Xue Jinqiao's mother, Wan Shi, said in a low voice.

"Where were you when Qi Niang was delivered to the thieves? Where were you when Qi Niang was nailed into the coffin? When Qi Niang was treated as a monster and was about to be set on fire, where were you? Xue Heng sneered and swept over the husband and wife who slowly lowered their heads, "Qi Niang was raised by me, do you think that if there is no Qi Niang, you can achieve today's position?" ”

He has no children under his knees, and the Xue family belongs to him and has prosperous official fortunes, everyone wants to succeed one to his knees, his deceased wife hugged Qi Niang to raise him, and he did not succeed because their husband and wife are old, I am afraid that they will not be able to accompany Qi Niang for too long, and they always hope that she will have someone to support her in the future.

Because of Qi Niang, Xue Heng cultivated Xue Li as an heir, so that he could be the first of the six Shangshu in the year when he was not confused.

"Fifth uncle, Qi Niang is also the nephew's biological flesh and blood, and the nephew feels guilty about her, and hopes that she can live well. But where is the Northwest Palace? Your Majesty's thoughts, the fifth uncle should know better than his nephew. Xue Li still insisted.

"I know that you have valued your face more than anything else in your life, and I am afraid that in the future, the Northwest Royal Mansion will be defeated, and you will be implicated because of Qi Niang, so that you can't raise your head in front of your brothers in the clan." Xue Heng snorted coldly, "Therefore, I have planned to pass Qi Niang to Erlang's knees." ”

Xue Li's second brother is his second cousin, that is, Xue Heng's biological son, a talented young man, but unfortunately the young man died young.

"Fifth uncle, Qi Niang is the meat that fell from my body......" Wan Shi cried.

"You may have Qi Niang in your heart, but once it comes to Qi Niang's brother, why have you ever worried about her?" Xue Heng didn't want to say much to his nephew and daughter-in-law, but stared at Xue Li, "I haven't stepped down yet, you are not the only one in the Xue family, although Xue Cheng is a side branch, he is also my Xue family, don't forget, he is already a Dali Siqing." ”

Xue Li's heart was in a daze, the Xue family was heavy and capable, and Xue Cheng had been chasing after him, which made him feel pressure.

"You go to the patriarch by yourself and say that my knees are empty, and I want to pass on Qi Niang to Erlang to fulfill my filial piety." Xue Heng commanded directly, his eyes sharp, "I want to marry Qi Niang to the prince of the Northwest, if this matter leaks, you can see if I can let you fall from the position of the secretary of the ministry." ”

Wan's crying also stopped abruptly in an instant, and the reaction of the husband and wife made Xue Heng's face even colder.

Xue Jinqiao stood in the courtyard and looked inside, her face was blank, and the flowers and plants were worried about Xue Jinqiao, but Xue Jinqiao didn't care at all, because it was an expected result, just like when they used her to transfer back to Kyoto.

"Yes...... But ......," Wan Shi hesitated and said, "I am discussing the marriage of Qi Niang with the priest of the country. ”

"Guozi Priest Restaurant?" A sharp light flashed under Xue Heng's eyes, "Is it He Jiasan Lang?" ”

He Zu, the priest of the country, has two sons-in-law, the difference is only two years old, the eldest son He Sanlang is Xie Yuan at the age of eighteen, and the future is very good, the second son He Shilang, but he does not learn and has no skills, he is nostalgic for the theater all day long, he is a drama idiot, and it is rumored that he is not clear with a play.

Wan Shi said: "Qi Niang has such an illness, how can the He family allow He Sanlang to ......?"

Before she could finish speaking, a teacup slammed at her feet, and the hot tea splashed on the upper of her shoes.

"Do you know it hurts? I thought that a wolf-hearted person like you had a heart made of iron, and the skin should be too, otherwise how could he do something that was inferior to such a beast? Xue Heng was so angry that the green tendons on his neck were beating, "You look at me and I just ask about the inner house, I don't know that you quit Qi Niang in order to give your son a place in a certain national prison!" Fathers and mothers like you, Qi Niang broke off earlier, and only then did she jump out of the wolf's den. ”

scolded and was still puzzled: "Go, call Xue Ji to me, and I'll ask him if he drinks her sister's blood to live, is it more moisturizing, and whether his sister's blood is sweet!" ”

"Uncle Five, he's angry." Xue Li knelt down, "This matter has not been decided, it is just a joke in private, the nephew will go back to report to the patriarch and pass Qi Niang to the second brother's knees." ”

"Get out—" Xue Heng shouted.

Xue Li immediately pulled Wan Shi back, turned around and went out, and looked at Xue Jinqiao, Xue Li didn't know how to speak, but Wan Shi was aggrieved and said: "Qi Niang, you are A-Niang's pregnancy in October and gave birth with hard work, how can A-Niang ignore you?" Your brother and brother are well, and others will not dare to bully you in the future......"

Xue Jinqiao raised her hand and smelled the incense on the back of her hand, only then did she restrain herself from immediately rushing up and dying with her own mother, she said in a dumb voice: "Before I get sick, leave this courtyard." ”

Xue Jinqiao's eyes were dark and not like a living person, Wan Shi was so frightened that her face turned pale, thinking of the past, at this time, a tea bowl was smashed out of the house, she didn't dare to stay for a long time, and hurriedly left with her husband in tow.

Xue Jinqiao rushed in and held Xue Heng, his eyes were full of anger, and his eyes were red: "Uncle and grandfather." ”

Xue Heng sat down weakly, drank a few sips of tea to calm down, and he looked at Xue Jinqiao distressedly: "Uncle and grandfather, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you for long......"
