Xia Qingli shook his head, "The Xie family has come to this point, and they are still calculating." Sure enough, it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. ”

Mu Jinghan said very calmly, "There are few people in this world who can do it calmly, from luxury to frugality. ”

Xia Qingli is right to think about it, "People who are used to enjoying it, how can they easily achieve the life of ordinary people." By the way, so many people come to Xie's house, is there anything suspicious? ”

"I mean, the person behind Old Man Xie."

Mu Jinghan's eyes showed a cold light, "No." But I suspect that the other party has already contacted Old Man Xie, for example, the sudden separation of the Xie family. ”

Xia Qingli dipped his index finger in some tea and wrote and drew on the table, "I think maybe we think things are too complicated." ”

"Let's separate my life experience from these things. The person behind Tong and the others is at least seventy percent likely to be a person, and the other party is using Tong and others to plot something, so it involves minerals. ”

Mu Jinghan also had this thought, "Let's go back and talk about it, this is not the place to talk." ”

Xia Qingli hummed.

She left the tea money, pushed Mu Jinghan out of the teahouse, and went straight back to the Regent's Mansion.

But I never thought that I saw the two sisters of the Xie family at the gate of the Regent's Mansion.

The two sisters of the Xie family are dressed completely differently from the beginning, and now they are dressed in a plain and low-key manner, with a smell of books everywhere, and even a lot less accessories.

The two sisters bowed respectfully: "I have seen the regent." Miss Xia Ann. ”

Mu Jinghan didn't even give these two people a single afterglow, but Xia Qingli asked casually, "Is there something wrong with the two Miss Xie coming to the regent?" ”

Xie Chunlan and Xie Chunzhu glanced at each other.

"Your Royal Highness the Regent, I wonder if you can go inside?" Xie Chunlan looked around and lowered her voice, "I want to talk about the Xie family." ”

Mu Jinghan and Xia Qingli became interested, so they let the two sisters of the Xie family enter the Regent's Mansion.

Small garden.

Mu Jinghan put all kinds of snacks in front of Xia Qingli, and didn't care about the two sisters of the Xie family.

Xia Qingli took some snacks to eat, and looked at the two sisters of the Xie family with a smile: "The two of you are willing to talk about the Xie family, I don't know what the requirements are?" ”

Xie Chunlan and Xie Chunzhu smiled wryly, if they were willing, their sisters wouldn't want to take this step, but they had to take this step.

"Our sisters want to be safe, and we don't want to be measured like goods by the family anymore." Xie Chunlan sighed, "Don't hide it from Miss Xia, our sisters don't have the courage and guts like you, so we have to come to seek the help of the regent." ”

She and her second sister have been in the Xie family since they were children, and they know too well the consequences of a woman losing her family. Especially women like them who are talented and good-looking and don't have the ability to protect themselves, it is even easier to go wrong.

Xia Qingli didn't feel sympathy or pity, not even a trace of mood swings, "Hmm." ”

Xie Chunlan and Xie Chunzhu are not here to sympathize or pity, the sisters know very well what to do in order to get rid of their current fate and how to live a stable life on their own.

"The Xie family is planning to let my second sister and I marry into the Lan family, or to be a concubine for Cai Shangshu." Xie Chunlan dropped a bomb.

The snack in Xia Qingli's hand fell to the ground, and she looked at Mu Jinghan mechanically, "I heard me right, right?" Is the Xie family crazy? ”

Mu Jinghan handed the teacup to her mouth and said indifferently, "The Xie family is not crazy. The Xie family chose another path, because the daughter of the Xie family could not enter the palace and could not marry me. ”

Xia Qingli took a sip of tea and laughed, "Why does the Xie family think that the daughter of the Xie family can marry into the Lan family and be a concubine for Cai Shangshu?" ”

"It seems that my grandfather and father had a plan." Xie Chunlan frowned slightly, quite worried, "Recently, my grandfather and father have met a lot of powerful people in private, and some of them promised to help my grandfather and father. ”

"My second sister and I also learned that my grandfather and father had already discussed, if our sisters could not enter the palace or marry the regent, we would let one marry into the Lan family, and the other should be given to Cai Shangshu as a concubine, just because of the Lan family's status in the army, Cai Shangshu's wife is the favored lord of Changle."

It's not that she doesn't understand her grandfather and father's intentions, but her grandfather and father think too naturally. Even if there are those people to help, the Lan family and Cai Shangshu may not be as good as their grandfather and father intended.

And if this kind of thing is not handled well, the reputation of her and her second sister will be ruined, and they will be abandoned by the family at that time.

Like, those who were discarded by the family did not end well.

Xia Qingli was speechless, "The Xie family is really a big face, you can do whatever you want." It seems that the last time the saint reprimanded the Xie family, it did not make the Xie family really reflect. ”

"Grandfather and father think it's Miss Xia who is doing ghosts." Xie Chunlan didn't hide this matter, "In the eyes of my grandfather and father, it was Miss Xia who bewitched the regent with her beauty, and let the regent goss. ”

Xia Qingli touched his face and agreed very much, "I did confuse the regent with my beauty, who made me look so good." ”

"You're right, you're the best looking." Mu Jinghan said very sincerely.

Xie Chunlan * Xie Chunzhu, "......" is this when the two of them don't exist?

Xia Qingli gave Mu Jinghan an appreciative look, "There is progress, and you know that you can make me happy from these aspects." ”

Mu Jinghan's thin lips hooked slightly, "It's a must." ”

Coaxed Xia Qingli well, and he will have benefits.

Xia Qingli didn't seem to see the expressions of the two young ladies of the Xie family, and continued, "Do the two young ladies of the Xie family know which powerful families the Xie family has received recently?" ”

Xie Chunlan whispered, "The specific details of our sisters are not clear, but it is said that there are powerful people in the army and the court. It seems that there are also royal relatives. ”

She remembered one thing, "Grandfather said a very strange thing before he came back with his family, he said that if there are real nobles to help the Xie family, the Xie family will be full of glory in the future." ”

Xie Chunzhu took over the conversation, "There is such a thing. At that time, we didn't quite understand, and my father asked my grandfather what was going on, and he was scolded by him. ”

"Now that I think about it, my grandfather's confidence may come from these powerful people and royal relatives."

Xia Qingli touched her chin, "That's interesting." Did the Xie family say how do you two marry into the Lan family, or be a concubine for Cai Shangshu? ”

Xie Chunlan shook her head slowly, "I didn't say it." However, my father mentioned it, saying that it was for me and my second sister to be married with peace of mind, and we would get married at any time. ”

"At that time, I asked a lot, saying that the Cai family and the Lan family were discussing marriage, and whether it was the Lan family or the Cai family, I was afraid that they would not agree. My father said that the Lan family and the Cai family would agree obediently, so I don't have to worry. ”

Xia Qingli, "You didn't ask much?" ”

Xie Chunlan was bitter, "Where do you dare to ask more." In the Xie family, our daughter is the goods, and she just needs to be obedient. If you dare to do things that you shouldn't do and say things you shouldn't say, you will be sold casually by your family, and you will lose your life. ”

The Xie family has no shortage of daughters, to be precise, the Xie family has no shortage of children. For example, the father, in addition to the main wife, will have multiple concubines to have more children, and these children will become goods for the benefit of the family.

Xia Qingli nodded, "Is there anything else useful?" ”

Xie Chunlan bit her lip, "That day, I saw a man in a black cloak come to my house. It was probably two days ago when it was dark that I was eating after eating, and I happened to see the man. ”

"That man seems to be, a certain prince."

Xia Qingli came to his senses, "Why do you say that?" ”

Xie Chunlan blushed slightly, "Originally, I was going to enter the palace, and Chunzhu was going to marry the regent, so we would look at the portraits of the emperor's relatives and magnates since we were children. ”

"At that time, the man looked slightly sideways to my side, and I noticed a small half of his face, which seemed to be some prince. Because of the distance and the small half of the face, I can't be sure if it's a certain prince. ”

Xia Qingli looked at Mu Jinghan.

Mu Jinghan thought about all the princes, "It's hard to say who it is for the time being." In addition to the king and me, there are seven other brothers in the Holy Heavens, all of whom are in the moon capital. ”

"There have to be more clues."

Xia Qingli glanced at the two sisters of the Xie family, and dispelled the idea of asking them for help, which was not safe.

"The regent and I will help you solve the matter of marrying into the Lan family or taking Cai Shangshu as a concubine, and we will not let the Xie family beat you two again, but then you two will not have a good life now."

Xie Chunlan and Xie Chunzhu were very satisfied, "As long as it can be stable." ”

They know what kind of life the married aunts and sisters live in their husbands' families.

If you are lucky enough to be favored by your husband's family, you have to fight with your concubines all day long, and you have to always seek benefits for your family. If you are unlucky and can't get the favor of your husband's family, you will either have a wife to suffer, or you will suffer all kinds of torture from your husband's family, and you will also have to do everything possible to seek benefits for your mother's family.

If it is not done according to the requirements of the mother's family, it will never be easy to live, and some will even be sold to the flower house by the mother's family and the husband's family.

Xia Qingli didn't say anything, she ordered her subordinates to send the two young ladies of the Xie family out.

Having never really lived a hard life and experienced a gap, the two young ladies of the Xie family will not understand why some people would rather struggle in the swamp than live a stable life on the flatland.

She raised her chin towards Mu Jinghan: "What are you going to do about the Xie family?" Listening to what the two young ladies of the Xie family said, it is speculated that the Xie family's plot is not small. ”

"The emperor's relatives, magnates, and the army, the more they can't be contaminated, the more the Xie family must be contaminated. Moreover, wherever the Xie family has wealth and wealth, they will send their daughters wherever they want, and they would rather send their daughters as concubines. ”

Mu Jinghan connected the matter, and thought about it for a while, "The person behind the Xie family may be the person behind the Tong family." ”

"Then let's pick up where we left off." Xia Qingli pointed at the small table with his index finger, "Let's not discuss my life experience first, let's discuss these things that happened in Yuedu, maybe we can find clues from them." ”

"In your opinion, who has the ability and courage to do so many things in secret?"
