His Majesty ordered Shen Mingzhu to apologize to the Xie family, and the matter of snatching the phoenix crown should be over.

But Shen Mingzhu was unwilling, although she also knew this truth, at this time, it was only right to apologize and settle the matter, but she was arrogant, and she boasted of her identity, she looked down on the Xie family, and felt that the Xie family was a relict of the previous dynasty and an enemy, so she was unwilling to bow her head to Xie Yixiao.

She didn't come, Xie Yi didn't laugh or urge, but the people in the Imperial City were staring at this matter, as long as she didn't come for a day, she would be talked about for a day, she was willing to drag it out, anyway, it was not her who was said to be disobeying the decree and not apologizing for doing something wrong.

As for revenge, it was naturally private.

The Xie family and the Rong family privately checked the Beiting Hou Mansion, and sure enough, they also found a lot of things, the Rong family clearly robbed the Shen family of some industries, the Shen family dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and they couldn't fight others, so they had to let go.

Xie Yi'an asked people to poke out the matter of Beiting Hou's outer room, which is said to be a cousin of Beiting Hou, who lived in Beiting Hou's mansion in the past, and had a relationship with Beiting Hou, and was the love of Beiting Hou.

Mrs. Beiting Hou couldn't tolerate her at the beginning, so she drove her away, but who knew that she was raised outside by Beiting Hou, and now she gave birth to two sons and a daughter, the eldest daughter is thirteen years old.

The outer room with two sons and a daughter kneeling outside the Beiting Hou Mansion, it is said that he cried very miserably, and almost hit the pillar at the gate, which made people see enough jokes, and the Beiting Hou Mansion was also a mess.

The freshest thing in the Imperial City these days is when the Marquis of Beiting let the children of the outer room and the outer room enter the door.

Xie Yixiao is also very happy to eat melons, especially the kind of enemy who is unlucky, it is simply eating a piece of chilled watermelon in the hot summer, which is extremely refreshing.

Let's see if they still have the heart to trouble others.

It is now the last two days of August, and the Ming family made an appointment with Xie Yixiao to meet in Qingfeng Building on the river, Xie Yixiao happily went to the appointment, but saw that she had brought a thirteen-year-old girl with her.

The girl was born with a delicate face, wearing a blue breast-length skirt, and her eyes were light like spring ripples, pure and gentle, like a shy peach blossom, green and delicate.

"This is Zhao Qingran, Miss Zhao." Ming introduced with a smile.

"Miss Zhao."

"Thank you, girl."

The two saluted each other and sat down.

Ming explained: "Miss Zhao's grandfather was a general who stayed in Chongyang Pass back then, and he came to the Imperial City to participate in the Chongyang Festival this time, and he will stay in the Imperial City in the future. ”

This 'staying' is said to be vague, but it is actually the soldiers who died in Chongyang Pass.

This girl is the descendant of those men.

Xie Yixiao understood when he heard this: "Don't worry, Mrs. Shizi, I will definitely treat Miss Zhao well." ”

Since this Zhao family has come to the imperial city, the imperial court may have to use this Zhao family in the future, the Zhao family knows very little about the imperial city, what is lacking is a guide, Xie Yixiao is the future daughter-in-law of the Rong family, and it is reasonable to help take care of it when it is inconvenient for the Rong family.

Moreover, this is also an opportunity for the Xie family, if the Xie family can get along well with the Zhao family, it will also be of great benefit to the Xie family.

Miss Zhao smiled shyly, like a peach blossom in spring, and like a lotus flower that blooms quietly and shyly in summer, she said, "Then thank you so much, girl." ”

"Miss Zhao is polite."

The Ming family sat for a while and left, leaving only the carriage and the servant girl who was waiting, and told Zhao Qingran to go home when he was tired.

After the Ming clan left, Zhao Qingran immediately changed his complexion, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and sat there coldly without saying a word, looking away from me, I hate you very much.

This change of face became quite fast, Xie Yixiao couldn't help but smile.

The girl's face turned pale, and she snorted coldly: "What are you laughing at?" What's so funny? ”

Xie Yi smiled and shook his head: "I didn't laugh at anything, I just think it's really funny that you suddenly change your face like this, what do you want to eat, there are a lot of things in this Qingfeng Building on the river, see if there is anything you want to eat, I will ask someone to get it for you." ”

The girl snorted coldly when she heard this: "I don't know what to eat, I haven't eaten these things since I was a child, but you powerful families, I'm afraid you started to enjoy these generations ago." ”

"The ancestors are in the shade, it's okay." Xie Yixiao did not admit it, although the Xie family has been cautious and cautious over the years, but their lives are not bad, "The Zhao family will not be bad in the future." ”

Zhao Qingran snorted coldly again: "My Zhao family will not be bad in the future, and that is also my grandfather's life." ”

"Coincidentally, the Xie family is not bad, and it is also run by the ancestors." It's all earned by our ancestors.

Zhao Qingran choked for a moment, and then said, "I heard that your Xie family is used to being opportunistic, and you speak the best." "It's just very good at sycophancy, and the mouth is good.

Xie Yixiao chuckled: "You don't have to hate me, when the previous dynasty was in turmoil, the world was in turmoil, first the faint monarch was in power, and the traitorous ministers were in charge, and the Xie family did not come forward, but they also did not do anything evil to harm anyone." ”

Miss Zhao said: "Speaking of which, it is inaction. ”

"Or so you can say it." The Xie family probably wanted to protect themselves back then, but in the same way, they didn't take care of the whole world, they only cared about themselves, and there was no righteousness of sacrificing their lives for the people of the world.

Therefore, the establishment of the new dynasty, although the Xie family was preserved, and continued to be the Xie family in this imperial city, it is also deserving to survive in the cracks for so many years.

In the face of these, the Xie family accepted them calmly.

Zhao Qingran originally thought that she was going to quibble and say that the Xie family had the suffering of the Xie family, but when she answered like this, she was stunned for a moment, and she was speechless for a while.

Speaking of which, the Xie family was no longer a courtier back then, and these war grievances had nothing to do with the Xie family, at most they did nothing, and if the Xie family had any big grudges with these people in the new dynasty, it would be no.

Zhao Qingran may not like this family left over from the previous dynasty very much, but he will not hate it.

Xie Yi smiled and said: "Since Mrs. Shizi handed you over to me, if you have any questions, you can also ask me, and if you can answer, I will definitely tell you." ”

Zhao Qingran asked again: "What if you can't answer?" ”

Xie Yi smiled: "Then think about what I can reveal to you, little girl, sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing." ”

Zhao Qingran snorted softly, and then asked her, "I heard that you have a grudge against Shen Mingzhu?" ”

"Hatred is not counted, some grievances are true, if you want to stand up for her, then go and inquire what she has done first."

"Don't worry, I don't mean to stand up for her, but I have a few accounts to settle with her."
