Although the information in ancient times was blocked, the big family had its own information channels, Liang Jian'an was going to be executed, and the whole Liang family had to pack up and return to their hometown, at this time, Liang's second wife Meng Xiuzhen and Liang Jian'an's reconciliation and separation, the people in the upper circle of Beijing soon knew about it, and Tang Shuyi did the same.

When Steward Zhao came to report the news, Tang Shuyi and the others had just had dinner, and the family of four was chatting. Hearing the news, Tang Shuyi was silent for a while and said, "Those who can be open-minded will not have a bad life." ”

It's just that whether her life can be saved depends on her own ability.

The three brothers and sisters didn't quite understand her words, and Tang Shuyi explained to them: "In order to achieve the goal, unscrupulous means, in order to live well, everything can be abandoned, such a person can naturally live well." It's just that ordinary people can't do it, because they can't get over the hurdle in their hearts. ”

Xiao Yuming and Xiao Yuchen both nodded clearly, Xiao Yuzhu still seemed to understand, Tang Shuyi told her: "Meng Xiuzhen chose to leave at this time, just because she didn't want to leave Shangjing and live in a poor and remote place. There's nothing wrong with that, everyone wants to live a good life. However, she and Liang Jian'an reconciled, and her two daughters have no father and no mother by their side, so you can imagine how difficult the future will be.

And her divorce will also affect the reputation of the entire Meng family's daughters. Ordinary people will probably hesitate because of these factors, and finally choose to return to their hometown with the Liang family. But Meng Xiuzhen abandoned her daughter, and didn't care about the reputation of the entire Meng family's daughters, as long as she could live well. ”

"However, others will gossip, and the Meng clan will also resent her!" Xiao Yuzhu said.

Tang Shuyi smiled, "I don't care, I don't care about those gossips, I don't care if others complain or not, as long as she doesn't care, nothing can hurt her." ”

Xiao Yuming said at this time: "She is also a ruthless character. ”

"It's just that how long her good life can live depends on her ability." Tang Shuyi said.

Xiao Yuchen had indifference on his face and said, "Concubine Liang shouldn't let her go, but it's just not suitable for her to die now." ”

Tang Shuyi nodded with satisfaction, her two sons had grown a lot, and she said: "I will stay away from Meng Xiuzhen in the future, not because I am afraid of her, but because there is no need to cause unnecessary trouble because of her." ”

The three brothers and sisters all nodded seriously, Tang Shuyi sighed and said: "Although we were on the same page with the Liang family before, but this time Liang Jian'an died, and the grudge between us and Liang Guifei and the second prince is even deeper." In the future, as long as it is related to the second prince and Liang Guifei, you must also be careful. ”

The three brothers and sisters knew the seriousness of the matter, and nodded seriously again.

"But there's no need to be afraid of them," Tang Shuyi said again: "They have more scruples than us." ”

The second prince wants to compete for the throne, and his personal evaluation, image and position in the emperor's heart, the balance of power in the court, etc., must be taken into account in all aspects. But they are different, what they have to do now is to live their days behind closed doors and let their three children grow up quickly.

With less demand, there are fewer things to worry about, and it is easier to make decisions when facing problems. Tang Shuyi has a principle now, I live my life with peace of mind, don't provoke others, but don't provoke anyone.

After saying this, Tang Shuyi talked about Guan Yi's coming to the Hou Mansion again, "I said that I would come over tomorrow, and I would let the yard be cleaned up, and Yuchen, you should communicate with him more in the future." ”

Xiao Yuchen nodded yes.

At the beginning of the second day (eight o'clock in the morning), the carriage of the Guan family arrived, and the concierge knew that the people of the Guan family were coming today, and they were smoothly let into the Hou Mansion, and Steward Zhao personally took Guan Yougen and Guan Yinian to see Xiao Yuchen, and a housekeeper took Guan's sister-in-law to see Tang Shuyi.

At this time, Tang Shuyi was reading the account books in the study, and at the end of the year, all the properties of the Hou Mansion had to be inventoried, and she had to be prepared. Hearing that the Guan family's people had arrived, she put down the account book in her hand and went to the small flower hall with a smile.

Sister-in-law Guan saw that she was about to kneel down and salute again, Tang Shuyi hurriedly stopped her, and then the two sat down to talk. After chatting for a while, Tang Shuyi said, "Sister-in-law, do you have any news from the people in the village before?" ”

Sister-in-law Guan is not stupid, she knows that Tang Shuyi is inquiring about the situation of the Xiao family. With a burst of emotion in her heart, she said: "No, there were wars everywhere back then, and there was a famine, and everyone in the village went out to escape the famine." You don't know the day you escaped from the famine..."

Speaking of which, her eyes were a little moist, and after wiping the corners of her eyes, she said again: "Selling sons and daughters, I am very hungry, and I eat people." When we first came out of the village, we were still all the way with the Xiao family, but then we met mountain bandits, and everyone scattered and fled for their lives. After that, there was no news, and I guess it was..."

She sighed again, "Otherwise, the old marquis has been looking for so long, why hasn't he found it?" ”

Tang Shuyi also sighed, but she knew that the Xiao family did not die, and there was a lot of entanglement later.

"It's all rumors, I'll let people look for it." Tang Shuyi said.

Find it early, solve it early, otherwise it will always be in her heart.

Sister-in-law Guan felt that Mrs. Hou was too kind-hearted, Xiao Chengkun and Xiao Huai were dead, and she, the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, just ignored the Xiao family in the village at the beginning, and others couldn't say anything.

And one of the purposes of Tang Shuyi telling Sister-in-law Guan about this today is to let Sister-in-law Guan know that the old marquis made every effort to find the Xiao family, but he didn't find it, and he heard that the Xiao family was dead, so he married his wife again. He is not an abandonment of his wife and children. Moreover, after the old marquis got married, she has been inquiring about their news, and now she is also trying to find someone.

At that time, the Guan family will be witnesses.

After chatting for a while, Sister-in-law Guan proposed that she wanted to go to the front yard to see where Guan Yinian lived, and Tang Shuyi asked Cuiyun to take her there.

The courtyard where Guan Yinian lives is next to Xiao Yuchen's Qingfeng Garden, which is naturally not bad. Sister-in-law Guan saw that there were all kinds of flowers and plants in the yard and rockeries, and the things placed in the house were all things she had never seen.

Sister-in-law Guan once again said that Mrs. Hou is a good person.

Cuiyun sent her to the place and left, Guan Yinian was at Xiao Yuchen's place, and at this moment there were only two of them left in the house. Sister-in-law Guan talked to Guan Yougen, Tang Shuyi asked her about the Xiao family, and then said, "Mrs. Hou is really a good person. ”

Guan Yougen dusted off the non-existent dust on his body, gently sat on the chair covered with brocade cushions, sighed and said, "At the beginning, the old marquis searched for so many years and did not find it, it is estimated that there is a lot of luck. ”

Sister-in-law Guan carefully touched the colorful screen and said: "It's also that aunt is not blessed, if she can reunite with the old marquis, isn't this sky-high wealth hers." ”

"It's useless to say that," Guan Yougen said: "If the person didn't die and really found it, it would be really confusing at that time." ”

Sister-in-law Guan sighed heavily.
