Chapter 79: The Past of the Xie Family
The Xie family has been accumulating prestige in Luming County for a long time, and Xie Feng is even more famous for doing all kinds of evil.
Seeing Yu Qingzhi's coquettishness, this entourage knew that Xie Feng must have had a thought, and saw that although He Lianjun said that he looked good, he didn't look like a rich family, so he hurriedly persuaded, "This little lady, do you know what kind of family our Xie family is? Our Xie family is the leading rich and noble family in Luming County, my eldest lady is now favored in the palace, my son-in-law is the only brother of the eldest lady, and it is only a matter of time before the marquis will be honored in the future, if you follow our son-in-law, it will definitely enjoy endless glory and wealth."
Yu Qingzhi's face was smiling, and his eyes were even more charming, and he looked at Xie Feng and the others opposite.
She turned her head sideways and asked He Lianjun, "Who is the Xie family?"
He Lianjun comprehended and smiled with deep meaning, "The lady's question is interesting, the Xie family bullies men and women, fish and meat people, and covers the sky with one hand in Luming County, and does all kinds of evil, the lady said, what kind of family?"
"You!" Xie Feng's face turned red angrily, and his face was gloomy, "Your Excellency is so dissatisfied with my Xie family, but what is the misunderstanding? Everyone in Luming County knows that our Xie family is the most kind-hearted, and a few days ago, the Xie family donated a lot of grain from their own grain depot."
Yu Qingzhi sneered, "Grand Master Xie is really good at laughing, no one in Luming County knows that the food donated by the Xie family that day was all damp and moldy? Thinking about it, even if the food was given to the Xie family's dog, the dog refused to eat it, but the Xie family was kind and donated the food that the dog didn't eat."
He Lianjun saw Yu Qingzhi's poisonous tongue for the first time, and his eyes lit up, and he smiled and continued, "The lady is right, if you want to survive, you have to thank the Xie family for donating the food with kindness."
Xie Feng's face was cold, "Miss Yu, if you say such a thing in front of me Xie Feng, have you ever thought about the consequences?"
Xie Feng looked threatening, Yu Qingzhi looked at his gloomy face, and couldn't help but be a little afraid in his heart, He Lianjun blocked in front of Yu Qingzhi, raised his eyes and looked directly at Xie Feng, "Hasn't Gongzi Xie heard of the Xie family's reputation outside? Do you still need us to tell Gongzi Xie one by one?"
He Lianjun had a mocking smile on his face, "I think that only a shameless person like the Xie family can cultivate a shameless character like Gongzi Xie."
Xie Feng couldn't understand the ridicule in He Lianjun's words, he glanced at the people behind him, and several entourages stepped forward to surround He Lianjun and Yu Qingzhi, even at this time, Xie Feng still had the intention to persuade Yu Qingzhi, "Miss Yu, in this situation, do you still want to follow him to accompany him to death?"
He thought that Yu Qingzhi would choose to go with him when he saw such a scene, but he didn't expect Yu Qingzhi to stand closer to He Lianjun, his eyes were firm and peaceful, "This doesn't worry about Gongzi Xie, I am one husband and wife, sharing honor and disgrace, naturally where my husband is, I will be there."
"Okay, since that's the case, then Miss Yu shouldn't blame me for being ruthless, I don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade."
Xie Feng gave an order, and his entourage surrounded the two, He Lianjun held Yu Qingzhi with one hand, and fought with several people with the other.
Although there were many people on the other side, and it was quite inconvenient for He Lianjun to move with Yu Qingzhi, but after a few moves, he still knocked a few people to the ground, he stepped on Xie Feng's back, and looked at Xie Feng condescendingly, "Gongzi Xie, who is sending death in such a scene now?"
Xie Cover was afraid, but he didn't want to bow his head and admit defeat easily, so he had the courage to speak, "You...... If you dare to do anything to me, my father and my eldest sister will not let you go!"
He Lianjun's expression remained unchanged, not even the slightest wave, but he stepped on Xie Feng's feet a little harder, and Xie Feng, who was in pain, hurriedly begged for mercy.
"I naturally know that Gongzi Xie's identity is valuable, so let's do it, the Xie family has a big business, and Gongzi Xie has a sister who is a concubine, my wife is now a little nervous when she wants to open a few medical halls, I see that the jade pendant hanging on Xie Gongzi's body is very delicate, why don't you give me this jade pendant?"
He stepped on Xie Feng's back, and he looked fierce again, where did Xie Feng dare to refuse, he hurriedly untied the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to He Lianjun with both hands.
He Lianjun took the jade pendant, and he didn't think that he really wanted Xie Feng's life, so he only kicked Xie Feng fiercely and said, "Gongzi Xie, don't let me see you appear next to my lady in the future, let alone let me see you rampant and bully the people, and trouble Gongzi Xie to go back and ask Ling Zun, do you remember the He family in the Wei Mansion more than ten years ago?"
Hearing him mention the past, Yu Qingzhi hurriedly tugged He Lianjun's sleeve, for fear that He Lianjun would reveal his identity and arouse the suspicion of the Xie family, but He Lianjun gently patted Yu Qingzhi's hand and gave her a reassuring look.
Xie Feng has been pampered since he was a child, where has he been wronged like this, but now seeing that his entourage is not He Lianjun's opponent, he can only glare at He Lianjun viciously, and fled with his subordinates in a hurry.
"Xianggong, you really shouldn't mention the past in front of Xie Cover, if they know your true identity, won't it be a cause for trouble?"
Yu Qingzhi was extremely worried, but He Lianjun weighed the jade pendant in his hand and was confident, "Don't worry, lady, this Xie family will not only not come to me for trouble, but will treat me politely."
Seeing Yu Qingzhi's suspicious face, He Lianjun smiled and squeezed Yu Qingzhi's hand, "Now you don't believe what your husband says?"
Yu Qingzhi's face turned red, and He Lianjun realized what he had just done, he coughed lightly twice unnaturally, and then let go of Yu Qingzhi's hand and said, "I haven't seen Xie Feng before, but I've seen this jade pendant, and this jade pendant has a lot to do with me."
It turned out that this jade pendant was nothing else, it was He Lianjun's beloved thing when he was young, but later the He family fell, and this jade pendant somehow got into Xie Feng's hands.
"Even so, what does it have to do with how the Xie family treats this matter?"
Yu Qingzhi was still puzzled, and He Lianjun went on to explain, "The relationship between the Jingzhong clan is complicated, either you are related to my ancestors, or I am from the same clan as his family, the He family has been operating in Beijing for hundreds of years, not to mention that it is an official with a position above the court, it is all over the Southern Dynasty, and I don't know how many people have a relationship with the He family."
"When disaster struck me, I took my younger siblings to run for my life and take care of myself, and I was still young at that time, so naturally I didn't care about contacting my old acquaintances at home, but I vaguely remember that my mother once said that this jade pendant has been my beloved thing since I was a child, but that day my father gave it to an acquaintance, if I am killed one day, I can fully trust the person with this jade pendant."
Yu Qingzhi's eyes widened, and he was very surprised, "Could it be that the He family is also related to the Xie family?"
He Lianjun nodded, "Xie Feng's grandfather and my grandfather should have been friends of the general horn and knew each other at a young age, but later because of different political views, the two became more and more separated."
He Lianjun's grandfather and Xie Feng's grandfather were also playmates who grew up together, but later the two entered the office together, but there were too many things in the court, and their opinions could not be unified.
Xie Feng's grandfather, Old Man Xie, believes in the rule of law, but He Lianjun's grandfather, Old Man He, feels that the law is nothing more than human affection, and he feels that he turns a blind eye to many things, and his mercy will pass.
There are many such things, and the two have finally gone from good brothers who grew up together to strangers.
Yu Qingzhi was a little regretful, "I didn't expect that Xie Jiayuan also had such a heroic figure, how could it be that in this generation, there are only Lu beetles like Xie Feng left."
He Lianjun shook his head, "The lady has never been in contact with other people in the Xie family, so it is inevitable to come to such a conclusion, but Xie Feng's father, Xie Lianyu, is also the head of the civil officials above the court, and he is the most honest and upright, but now he has escaped from the world and hid in the Taoist temple on the outskirts of Beijing to cultivate.
The two said as they walked, and when He Lianjun finished speaking, he had already arrived at the door of the medical hall, but Yu Qingzhi was still puzzled in his heart, "It is said that since Old Man Xie is the head of civil officials and a good official who is honest and upright, how can he give birth to children like Xie Yingying and Xie Feng?"
"When Old Man Xie became a monk, Xie Feng was still young, and in the past ten years, the Xie family's side branch has not paid attention to Xie Feng's education, and he follows his wishes every day, but he just wants to kill him, after all, only Xie Feng is overwhelmed, and the Xie family side branch has a chance."
"As for Xie Yingying," he said
Lian Jun saw this eldest lady of the Xie family when he was young, but he was young at that time, and he was afraid of male and female defense, and the two did not have a deep relationship, but He Lianjun's father was full of praise for Xie Yingying at that time, and said bluntly that Xie Yingying had a good chest and did not lose to men.
He Lianjun remembered his father's evaluation of Xie Yingying, and said, "I haven't had much contact with this eldest lady of the Xie family, but I guess she should have her own troubles when she becomes what she is now."
Not long after Xie Yingying was born, an old man passed by the gate of the Xie family, and cried at the main gate of the Xie family, bluntly saying that there was a disaster coming in the family, and if it was not resolved quickly, it would affect his father and brothers.
Xie Yingying's father was very unimpressed with this remark, but he couldn't resist his mother, the old man entered the Xie family and looked around, but his eyes fell on Xie Yingying, who was not yet full moon, and exclaimed that this woman was in a bad fate, if she didn't send it out to raise, the entire Xie family would be affected by her.
Mrs. Xie was afraid of death when she was old, and after hearing these remarks, she hurriedly arranged for someone to bring Xie Yingying to the Xie family's Zhuangzi, and it was not until more than ten years ago that Xie Yingying was brought back.
"It is said that Xie Yingyingke is a blood relative, but if it weren't for her, how would the Xie family have the status they have now?"
He Lianjun talked about Xie Yingying, but with a little sigh, Yu Qingzhi on the side also said, "The little girl who was born not long ago, but because of an old Taoist priest's nonsense, she was forced to leave her parents for more than ten years, if it were me, how could I regard such a person as my own parents."
Listening to Yu Qingzhi's words, a flash of deep thought flashed in He Lianjun's eyes, and seeing Yu Qingzhi's thoughtful face, he smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about these things, since I dare to reveal my identity in front of Xie Cover today, I am naturally fully prepared, no matter whether the Xie family is an enemy or a friend now, I have a way to deal with it."
Yu Qingzhi nodded, "I naturally believe you, I just think that Concubine Xie is a little pitiful, she is trapped in the deep palace, maybe she doesn't know that the people of the Xie family are using her name to do nonsense."
Then she shook her head again and said with a smile, "Forget it, this has nothing to do with us, we only live our own lives, no matter what decision Xianggong makes, I will support you."
