Ding Xiang came forward with a tea cup in hand and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "What do you want to say, Miss?"

Xie Shuning pointed outside, puffed up her face, and wrinkled her nose: "Sister Dingxiang, that person was knocked down by Qiangwei outside just now. Do you think if this news gets out, will others say bad things about my mother?

"

"This..." Although Ding Xiang felt in her heart that Chen had a good fall just now, but after hearing her say it, it was really possible, and she couldn't help but be speechless.

Xie Shuning stretched her legs and said worriedly: "Otherwise, Sister Dingxiang will go out to inquire?"

Ding Xiang was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and after thinking that it was always beneficial to inquire first, so that she could take countermeasures early, she nodded and said: "I'll go take a look first. Miss, stay well and don't run around."

.”

"Go ahead, I'm not going anywhere." Xie Shuning looked serious, and then warned, "If you hear someone talking about the man who fell in Zhilan Zhai, remember to tell them not to talk.

"

"Hey, this slave knows." Ding Xiang didn't take it seriously when she heard this. She just thought she was a child with an unreasonable mind, so she opened the curtain and went out.

When the back disappeared, Xie Shuning fell back lazily, thinking that this time she should be embarrassed by what she did this time. When Chen fell just now, most of her people were around her, and the news might spread soon.

She didn't go out of Zhilanzhai, but if she asked Dingxiang to inquire like this, there will be people who are interested in asking around, and the missing thing will become true. What's more, this matter is true, the more it is said, the more it is not allowed to be said,

The more the news spreads, the faster it will spread. It won’t take long for Chen’s embarrassing appearance to spread throughout Xie’s house.

That's why she refused to let Mrs. Chen go back directly. If Mrs. Chen goes out and shows off her appearance like that, wouldn't it mean that she was bullied in Zhilanzhai? But when it comes to talking about it from her side, it's completely different.

Already.

Before Ding Xiang came back, Song and his party came back first.

As soon as she entered the door, Xie Shuning heard Gui's mother whispering in a confused tone, "How could she leave it to you to organize the New Year's gift in the mansion?"

Hearing the word "New Year's Ceremony", Xie Shuning sat up and looked at the two of them. She saw that Mrs. Song's face was pale, her mouth was tightly pursed and she did not make a sound. She stood quietly for a while and then said: "Abnormality is a monster."

Gui's mother frowned and said worriedly: "I would rather marry into the Xie family while holding a memorial tablet. How can you be a match for such a person?"

"Do you still remember the letter from Mr. Liu in July?" Mrs. Song walked slowly towards Xie Shuning, sat down beside her, and suddenly turned around to look around the inner room and said, "Where did Lilac go?

Why are you the only one here?"

Xie Shuning saw that her brows seemed a little annoyed, and she was afraid that she would blame Ding Xiang, so she hurriedly defended: "Ah Man just remembered that he left something behind, so he asked Sister Ding Xiang to look for it."

After Mrs. Song heard this, she smiled awkwardly and said, "You girl, you don't know when your careless temper will get better." As she said that, she suddenly called Lily in, and then said to Xie Shuning,

"Mom and Gui's mother have something to discuss. How about Ah Man go down with Lily to play? If you feel bored, why not go find Lu Nong. After a few days, Lu Nong's cold weather has gone away."

The implication was that he wanted to send her away.

Xie Shuning felt depressed and tugged on her sleeves to act coquettishly: "Aman will be with my mother!"

She didn't want to miss these things at all. When her mother passed away in her previous life, Xie Shuning was only six years old, and her impression of her mother was almost cowardly and useless. She knew in her heart that her mother loved her and her brother, and she didn't want to let her do it now.

Listen, she is also worried that something will stain her heart prematurely. But she understands better that she does not trust her mother's ability. Aunt Jiang is still in Yanling, and Mama Gui is not a very capable person. She must accompany her

Mother!

However, Mrs. Song didn't want her to stay, so she persuaded her nicely: "Ah Man, be obedient and come over with your brother for dinner in the evening. In the evening, will my mother tell you the story of Chang'e flying to the moon?"

Xie Shuning was distressed. After hearing this, she simply loosened her sleeves, found a corner, lay down, closed her eyes, and said, "Aman has already fallen asleep!"

Seeing her like this, everyone in the room didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Mrs. Song had no choice but to shake her head and send Lily away. She just sat at the end of the kang with Gui's mother and talked softly.

Fortunately, although the voice was lowered, Xie Shuning could hear it clearly even if she raised her ears.

"In the previous letter from Mr. Liu, he swore to me that Mrs. Chen was his cousin in the past, and she still is in his heart today. But I am not a fool. Mrs. Chen is the wife of the Xie family's matchmaker. Could it be because of this?

Is it possible for him to break up with Mrs. Chen because he has no love between men and women? Not to mention that Mrs. Chen is the old lady’s niece, and her whole body will be affected by her influence." Mrs. Song's voice was calm and calm, which seemed to be different from the mother Xie Shuning knew well.

"On the carriage when we came here, I told Aman that Chen was just his cousin. I didn't know whether I wanted to reassure her or myself. Huangkou's son also knew that the future was rough, so how could I

I don’t know? What I can rely on now is just a pair of children and my sixth master. But if we really want to compare it to reality, everything is untenable."

Gui's mother was speechless.

Everyone knows that marriage matters are dictated by parents and matchmakers. Whoever the Xie family marries for Xie Yuanmao should be the main wife. People like the Song family are just outcasts, and they can only be concubines after entering the Xie family. They

Now I have not stated it directly, but it is because the Chen family has no heirs, and the Song family has two children, and the Song family had a life-saving favor for Xie Yuanmao back then. For the Xie family, which is small in number, it is a matter of whether they have any children.

This thing is really important.

It is precisely because of this that the current situation can be maintained at a stalemate.

But……

Xie Shuning opened her eyes and stared at Song's back.

I saw her shaking her head, seeming to sneer, then taking a deep breath and saying: "Maybe I am really a fool, I don't know for sure. The wet nurse once said that the inner house is like a battlefield, there is no gunpowder smoke, but there are gaps in the blue brick floor.

The room is full of bloodstains that have accumulated over the years. I live a worry-free life and have never taken those words as true, but now I have an epiphany. When two armies are facing each other, just because you don't move doesn't mean that the enemy won't move either."

Gui's mother comforted her: "Madam, please don't say that. Everyone will find a way. As long as Mr. Liu's heart is with you, everything will be easy to talk about."

"Easy to say?" Mrs. Song's shoulders slumped, "Originally, he was small-minded and could no longer pretend to be anyone else after he accommodated our mother and son. But now he is no longer Song Wangzhi, but Xie Yuanmao. His heart is big, and he can

There are more things to pack. Qinggui, do you know? Just thinking about it at night makes me tremble all over. If one day I really want to be a concubine, should I stay or leave? My heart has long been

Give them all to him! How can Aman and Yier be without their father?"

As he spoke, there was already a hint of crying in his words.

Xie Shuning's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she wanted to rush forward immediately and tell her that Xie Yuanmao didn't deserve her.

"That's all, let's not talk about this. Regarding the New Year's gift, you can think of a way to ask someone to use money to inquire about it. What Chen said just now is somewhat true, and whether the preferences of the eldest daughter-in-law are the same as hers.

Just like what you said."

After speaking, Mrs. Song suddenly turned her head and looked in Xie Shuning's direction. She was so frightened that she immediately closed her eyes and did not dare to move.
