Grandma Xie had never liked Liu Ruolan as her daughter-in-law, mainly because she didn't like her second son. Now she felt that she was being reasonable, so she spoke without any scruples.

"You have to think clearly. You are the second wife's official wife. You are hired by three matchmakers and six. No one can get ahead of you. You have been married for many years and you have only got a sister Zhao so far. If it is the same as in the past, it will be fine. I listen to you, sir.

It means that the second child is expected to take the provincial examination next year. Is it possible that he will be left without a child by a dignified candidate?"

After saying this, Liu Ruolan's face turned pale again and again.

"Don't blame me for being a meddlesome old woman. Both the eldest and the third brother have Ziyi to inherit the family. What about the second child? Who will be filial to you when you two grow old?"

Liu Ruolan's lips were trembling and she didn't dare to raise her head to look at her mother-in-law.

Grandma Xie’s words touched my heart one after another.

"Sister Zhao is young, but she will get married sooner or later. If you remain childless, who will support Sister Zhao in the future? My mother's family doesn't even have a capable helper, and Sister Zhao has been bullied again and again.

what to do?"

Liu Ruolan raised her eyes and wanted to say that she still had several nephews, but she always felt that she couldn't say this confidently.

Grandma Xie seemed to have anticipated her thoughts, and shook her head and said: "You have to understand that Zi Yi, the eldest brother and the third brother, are separated from you after all. That is different, and there are some things between my uncle and my cousin.

The difference is still huge.”

Liu Ruolan lowered her head again. Only she knew how sad she was.

Seeing her acting like this, Grandma Xie knew that she had grasped seven inches of her body.

Huh, do you really think that the Liu family has made some progress, so they dare to argue with the Xie family?

And make up for the dowry!

Do you really think that there is nothing you can do against her?

Now just the mention of concubinage makes Liu Ruolan so unbearable. If concubine is really allowed to come in in the future, Liu Ruolan will have sad days ahead!

Grandma Xie had made up her mind not to let her second wife live happily, so she was really planning a candidate for Xie Xiuwen to take as a concubine.

Of course, Grandpa Xie didn't know about this, only she and Mr. Gao knew the inside story.

Mrs. Gao was also happy to see Liu Ruolan feeling aggrieved. Who made her lucky enough to take advantage of her mother's family's influence?

If it weren't for the fact that taking a concubine requires a man's seal or fingerprint, Grandma Xie would have simply thought of taking the woman over first.

When Xie Xiuwen got home, he found that the atmosphere at home was not right, especially the sad look on his wife's face, which made him think that something big had happened at home.

After learning that it was because of concubinage, Xie Xiuwen was not anxious at all.

"I have no intention of taking a concubine, so you don't need to take it to heart."

Liu Ruolan felt relieved, but at the same time she felt guilty: "But it's my incompetence that has prevented me from giving birth to a son for my husband."

"What are you talking about! My son and daughter are all the same in my eyes. Aren't we good darlings?"

Of course Liu Ruolan also likes her daughter, but after all, she feels that without a son, she cannot live confidently in her husband's family.

"I know you are devoted to me, but we cannot rush the fate of children. We are still young. If we can have a good baby, we will have another one in the future."

Liu Ruolan stopped talking.

Yes, she can give birth, otherwise she wouldn't have a good baby.

But the problem is that it has been several years, and the relationship between the couple has been harmonious in bed, but why has it been so difficult to get pregnant?

The next day, Grandma Xie brought up the old matter again.

But this time, I mainly spoke to Xie Xiuwen.

Xie Xiuwen refused expressionlessly: "Mom, don't mention concubinage anymore. Ruolan and I have known each other since childhood and have been friends for many years. Do you want me to be a heartless person?"

Grandpa Xie on the side also felt that the second child was still young and was not in a hurry to take a concubine and have children.

But Xie Grandma doesn’t think so!

"Second brother, I am doing this for your own good. You are now twenty-three, and others at your age may be the father of three sons. Now you only have one son, Sister Zhao, and Mr. Liu's belly has been quiet in the past few years.

Do you really not want to think about the future?"

Xie Xiuwen said in a deep voice: "Auntie, you should know that I intend to take the provincial examination again next year. Now that I haven't passed the examination, I have taken a concubine. Do you think your son's reputation is not bad enough?"

Grandpa Xie's heart skipped a beat, and his expression became much more solemn than before.

"Father, there are two scholars in the Liu family, and my uncle is now working in the county government. I won't hide it from you two. When I went home for the reunion this time, my husband also left his homework for me. I still have to

I should think of a way to ask my uncle for help. If I have a room of concubines, how can I have the nerve to ask my uncle for help?"

Thank you for all your concern: "But what happened?"

Xie Xiuwen shook his head, paused and then said: "It's some homework about taxation. My uncle works in the yamen, and he knows details about some affairs in our county. I can't just scribble it down and hand it in, right?"

Also, if I can get more advice from my uncle, it will be helpful for policy discussions in the future."

Grandma Xie doesn’t think so.

Then Boss Liu is also a scholar, and his ranking back then was not as good as Xie Xiuwen's, so how could he be mentioned?

Grandpa Xie is not a woman trapped in the inner house, so he naturally understands what his son means.

The officialdom cannot be just talk on paper.

"What you said makes sense. Your uncles and brothers are all good, and they have contributed a lot to Guobao's affairs in the past. If you go to see Boss Liu for advice, you should bring a generous gift."

"Yes, father."

Grandpa Xie made the decision directly, so Grandma Xie naturally had no chance to make another move.

Although Grandma Xie was angry in her heart, it was not impossible.

In the evening, Grandma Xie called Mrs. Gao over to talk.

"I think that Miss Cui is good. In two days, you can find a reason to bring her home. I will make my own arrangements."

Gao's heart was beating like a drum, a little excited and a little nervous at the same time.

"Auntie, is this too risky? I think since my second brother is unwilling, why don't we think of other ways?"

Grandma Xie glared at her, wondering why Mr. Gao's mind was getting worse and worse.

"It's because he doesn't want to, so we have no choice but to take harsh measures. Okay, just do as I say. Then you can find a reason to send Liu and his daughter out, and then let them come back when the matter is settled."

Gao thought it was a good idea.

Moreover, as long as Mrs. Gao thought of the scene of Liu Ruolan being heartbroken when she saw her husband having a concubine, her heart would feel happy.

Xie Xiuwen took the generous gift and went directly to Liu's restaurant in the county.

But it was a coincidence that Boss Liu was not on duty today and happened to be helping in the restaurant.

"Brother-in-law is here, come in and sit down."

Xie Xiuwen saluted and then said: "Sorry to bother you, brother. I really need to ask you some things. I came in a hurry. It's rude of Zicheng."
