Chang Xi understood and found an excuse to tell Dongli and Xiaotao to do it, and sent them both out.

Dongli is a human being, so seeing this, he quickly bowed and left.

Xiaotao wanted to ask a few more questions, but when she saw Chang Xi coughing slightly, she left knowingly.

Seeing that no one else was around, Aunt Luo whispered to Chang Xi, "That year, the old man and several other gentlemen all resigned and came back, and the house was very nervous, so I remember this very clearly, but

Nowadays, no one dares to mention it. The government has already issued a gag order, and the younger generation don’t know these old things."

Chang Xi did not expect that the matter of the deposed prince would actually involve the Jie family. The entire family resigned and returned to their hometown. It was obviously not a trivial matter. The whole Jie family was probably worried back then. After all, the outcome of the Shi family was there.

However, the aristocratic family is not dead, so the Shi family can still be a wealthy man in a corner.

Chang Xi originally wanted to ask Aunt Luo how bad things happened when she deposed the prince, but thinking about this question, she probably couldn't answer the question. It is not easy for a servant like her to know these things. There are more inside secrets,

There was no way she could know.

The secret will only rot in the stomachs of Mr. Jie and his sons.

"That's such a pity." She sighed falsely.

Aunt Luo also sighed, "Isn't it? Fortunately, the ancestral property is still there, and the Shi family has not collapsed, but it is no longer the same as before."

"Then the marriage between the Jie and Shi families was also decided back then?" Chang Xi asked curiously.

Aunt Luo raised her eyebrows and glanced at Chang Xi. She felt that she was trying to hide her secret. However, since there were no outsiders here, she dared to say a few more words, "I really don't know the specific engagement time. I just

It is true that the marriage was arranged since childhood, but the ninth young lady was not very lucky and died of illness not long after the marriage."

Chang Xi didn't care about Aunt Luo's teasing gaze. The more information she knew, the better she could restore the original appearance of what happened back then. Judging from this move, the Jie family and the Shi family should be allies in politics, that is, to abolish the princeling party.

, otherwise we would not be able to advance and retreat together and still have a mutual alliance.

It's just that the price paid by the Shi family in this matter was even more painful. To this day, no one can continue to serve as an official in the government after taking a breath like the Xie family did.

In the long run, the Jie Shi Alliance will collapse sooner or later. After all, the Shi family's revival has not yet been seen, and no one is willing to move forward with a burden. This will test the conscience of the Jie family.

To put this question in order, the topic continues to return to the Shi family. The current head of the Shi family is Mr. Shi Liu.

The first Ninth Young Lady, Mrs. Shi, was his eldest daughter. She was born to his wife, Mrs. Cai. She grew up with a lot of love and affection. Her weak bones were a disease brought in from the womb. She was famous for her medicine pots and had seen many famous doctors.

Not good.

Chang Xi saw that Nanny Luo was getting more biased, so she quickly stopped her and said, "The deceased is gone. It's better that we don't talk about this Ninth Young Lady as much as possible."

She didn't care what kind of person this Mr. Shi was. Even if a person who had been bedridden for many years had any thoughts, her ability to act was limited. Her biggest unwillingness should be that her husband would remarry after her death.

If she wanted to prevent Xie Jin from remarrying after her death, thus arranging everything that followed, then she would have to be called a god. She was so focused on this, no wonder she died early.

But based on the few words she heard about Mr. Shi, she didn't seem to have such a determined personality. People with poor health would not have the energy to do this no matter how deep their thoughts were.

Therefore, the hand behind the back should not be Shi's who died young.

But whether it has anything to do with her remains to be investigated.

If she was still Xie Jin's wife, she was afraid that this person would take action again, and her life was at stake, so she had to keep her spirits up.

"Tell me about Master Shi Liu's other children."

Grandma Luo quickly changed the topic, and she was secretly glad in her heart. She almost let it slip before, why did she bring up so many things about Mr. Shi?

It’s all for nothing to cause trouble for others. After all, who wants to listen to what happened before?

Besides, Mr. Shi is really very lackluster.

"Master Shi Liu had one wife and four concubines, and gave birth to five sons and four daughters. He is considered a prosperous person..."

Chang Xi listened to the gossip about Mr. Shi Liu, who had one wife and four concubines. The family was lively enough, but the family tradition of the Shi family was obviously not as good as that of the Xie family.

Except for the eldest son and eldest daughter who were born by the first wife, the rest were born by concubines.

"When Madam Ninth Young Master was still alive, several girls from the Shi Mansion often came to visit. Madam Shi Liu was a kind-hearted person. Even though the other children were not her biological ones, she also raised them under her knees, among the legitimate concubines.
