Chapter 459: Lin family entanglement
Chapter 459 The Lin family’s entanglement
Mrs. Xie's head was about to explode, but her brother and sister-in-law were still making noises.
"Steward, please go and inquire about the eldest princess' situation in detail." Mrs. Xie warned the steward.
The housekeeper glanced at the Lin family couple and finally responded respectfully.
Within half a day, the housekeeper reported back the information to Mrs. Xie.
"The prince-in-law has been seriously ill for more than half a year. The eldest princess asked a doctor in the palace to stay in the palace to take care of the prince-in-law. The eldest princess is very concerned about her children and worries about their marriage... Ning Yushi has been favored by the eldest princess recently... The eldest princess She has always been on good terms with the Gu family, and Gu Mingda is Shen Changfeng’s teacher… The eldest princess publicly praised the Song family’s daughter at the banquet a few days ago…”
The housekeeper inquired about a lot of miscellaneous information, and Mrs. Xie listened very carefully.
Mrs. Xie thought that if General Xie was seriously ill, she would definitely be anxious, so she naturally said: "The consort is seriously ill? Then many precious medicinal materials will be added to this gift."
The housekeeper gave her a meaningful look and said, "The princess has been very close to Yushi Ning recently."
Mrs. Xie asked with pure eyes: "Is she planning to impeach someone?"
"Ning Yushi is handsome, young and promising, but it's a pity that he came from a humble background. He relied on the support of the eldest princess to achieve his current status," the housekeeper said.
Mrs. Xie still didn't think too much and said, "Then we can try to follow the path of Ning Yushi? Let's see who he wants to impeach, and we will know who has offended the eldest princess."
housekeeper:…
The housekeeper took a deep breath and said, "This road is still too tortuous."
But Mrs. Xie insisted on going her own way. She even made two preparations. On the one hand, she asked people to prepare generous gifts to visit the Ning family. On the other hand, she sent many precious medicinal materials and brought a famous doctor from Mizhou with her. The doctor went to the princess's mansion.
The doctor came to the house, but before he saw the consort, he was beaten out by the people from the eldest princess's mansion. This route was obviously an ordinary one.
As for the heavy gift given to the Ning family, the other party accepted it at first, but the matter was not completed. Instead, Ning Yushi was scolded by the eldest princess. After Ning Yushi was scolded, he immediately asked someone to return the gift. To the Xie family, the person who delivered the message looked like he wanted to eat the Xie family alive.
"Sister, please think of another way. Tao'er is suffering in prison now. He has such a delicate skin and tender flesh, how can he suffer such injustice..." Mrs. Lin held the handkerchief and howled.
Mrs. Xie was so worried that she called the housekeeper to ask for advice: "You can think of another solution."
"Madam, the young master has good relations with the Gu family. Mr. Gu is Mr. Shen's master, and the eldest princess loves Miss Gu very much. Why don't you go to the Gu family and give it a try?" the housekeeper said.
Mrs. Xie's frustration at the Gu family was still fresh in her mind, and she didn't want to go back to that shameful place.
Mrs. Lin didn't know this and said from the side: "Sister, since there is such a good way, why didn't you use it earlier? Go find the Gu family quickly! The case will be tried after the Chinese New Year. If the eldest princess cannot be relieved, , our Tao'er is finished!"
Mrs. Xie frowned and said: "The door will not open until after fifteen yamen. Isn't it still more than ten days? Why are you in such a hurry? Xie Xingchuan will be back soon. I will talk to him then."
It was New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye. Even if Niu Niu was reluctant to part with it, Xie Xingchuan still left the Gu family and returned to Xie Mansion. "I thought you weren't coming back. Why don't you just celebrate the New Year there and let everyone in the capital see what an ungrateful thing you are!" Mrs. Xie said with a cold face.
Xie Xingchuan glanced at her and asked, "Mother wants me to stay at Gu's house for the New Year?"
Xie Xingchuan has now also learned Niu Niu's way of doing things. If he has any questions, he can ask them directly. His question now is the same as before, which directly made Mrs. Xie unable to step down on the spot.
The Chinese New Year is a day for family reunion. No matter how big the hatred was in the past, the whole family would still get together. On such days, if Xie Xingchuan really stayed in the Gu family, if word spread, Xie Xingchuan would be scolded for being unfilial, and Mrs. Xie would also be scolded. If it's not even half good, others will think that she is being mean to her son, that's why she behaves like this.
Mrs. Xie's hands were shaking with anger. She missed her former son without a mouth. At least at that time, no matter how hard Xie Xingchuan was tortured, he would just endure it silently.
Mrs. Xie even felt a sense of crisis in her heart. Could it be that after recognizing her relatives, Xie Xingchuan felt that he had someone to rely on behind him, so he had the confidence to talk to her like this?
"You should stay at home these days and wait until you finish visiting your relatives before talking about anything else!" Mrs. Xie changed the subject.
Xie Xingchuan only felt pity in his heart. If Mrs. Xie agreed, he would be able to look back at home and celebrate the New Year.
Mrs. Xie thought about it, but she still felt uncomfortable in her heart. She found fault and said, "You saw the cold attitude of uncle and aunt Lin's family. Is this the way to treat guests? Go back and copy the Filial Piety Classic a hundred times."
Xie Xingchuan still asked directly: "May I ask my mother, where am I not respectful enough? Is it because I didn't kneel down to say hello to my uncle and aunt who have no official status?"
Although Xie Xingchuan didn't like to talk, he greeted the elders immediately when he saw them. Mrs. Xie was completely nitpicking.
Before Mrs. Xie opened her mouth to make an excuse, Mrs. Lin on the side said anxiously: "Sister, you are too strict in disciplining your children. Xingchuan is not disrespectful to us at all. You have misunderstood him."
Mrs. Lin is still thinking about her son and does not dare to offend Xie Xingchuan.
Xie Xingchuan glanced at this cheap aunt in surprise. He had never seen Mrs. Lin so kind-hearted before. Although she seemed polite on the surface, she was secretly very angry with Mrs. Xie.
"Xingchuan, don't think too much. Your mother is a smart-mouthed person. In fact, she has been thinking about you in her heart. She has been talking about you every day for the past two days." Mrs. Lin said with a smile.
Xie Xingchuan said nothing.
After Mrs. Lin cursed the little mute in her heart, she felt that she had become closer to Xie Xingchuan. She came over and said, "Speaking of which, your General's Mansion is good in everything, but it's just that the population is thin. There are three gangs for each hero. You don't have For direct brothers and sisters, you can only count on your cousins..."
Mrs. Lin originally wanted to mention her son and ask Xie Xingchuan to pay more attention to him.
But who would have expected that Xie Xingchuan, who had always been quiet, suddenly took the initiative and said, "Auntie, I have a biological brother and a younger brother and sister."
Mrs. Lin was stunned.
The corners of Xie Xingchuan's mouth raised slightly, and he said with a bit of pride: "My eldest brother is smart and handsome, and is a good student in reading. My younger brother is familiar with medical books. He will definitely be able to help the world and become a good doctor in the future. I also have a younger sister who is lively and cute. See you. There’s no one who doesn’t like her.”
