Chapter 224
In the past few days, Zhongyong Hou asked people to pay attention to his son Xie Yuheng because of Huai'er's affairs, and reported immediately when he came back.
When the servants reported to him today, he was preparing to have dinner with Aunt Zhang and Aunt Zhao. After hearing this, he came to Hui Juyuan hungry and thought about talking to his son while having dinner with them.
Alas! Zhongyong Hou rubbed his old face with shame and returned home.
Embarrassing, heartbreaking...
The fate of spoiling a concubine and killing his wife when he was young, I have to say, retribution!
As soon as he left, Mrs. Hou immediately grabbed her son's hand, frowned, and told her earnestly, "If you ask me, I shouldn't get involved in this matter. But since you agreed, I can't shame you. You can Don’t worry, I’ll go to my mother’s house tomorrow, I’ll be here, you’re not allowed to go!”
The second sister-in-law of the Rong family and the second wife of the Shen family are cousins. The Rong family wants to go to her natal family to ask her second sister-in-law to come forward to make an appointment with Mrs. Shen, and ask Mrs. Shen to ask her elder sister-in-law, Mrs. Shen Yushi, to meet and see if they can open up a relationship... ····
Hearing this, Xie Yuheng felt warm in his heart. With a faint smile on his face, he comforted his mother's shoulders and said warmly, "Don't worry, I have my own way of doing this. You don't have to worry, let alone come forward."
Without waiting for Mr. Rong to say anything, he continued, "This time I brought back some local tea leaves from Qinzhou. The tea there is tribute tea, which is very good. I will ask someone to deliver it to your courtyard later. I have to ask my mother to check and see what kind of tea my grandfather and uncles like, and send someone to deliver it to my grandfather and uncles' houses."
Mrs. Rong naturally agreed and said, "Don't worry, Heng'er. Mom will definitely take care of it for you."
"What about the Shen family?"
Mrs. Hou asked again. Xie Yuheng smiled slightly at Mrs. Rong and said, "Mother, my son has a way. You don't have to worry."
Seeing that her son looked calm and didn't seem to be in a difficult situation, Mrs. Rong was half relieved and nodded. Then she remembered that her son must be hungry before eating, so she hurriedly urged: "Heng'er, let's go. Let's go have a meal quickly, look at how thin you are..."
Xie Yuheng smiled warmly and agreed, "Yeah", then helped Mrs. Rong and walked into the dining hall.
······
Xie Yuheng accompanied his mother, Rong, back to Qilin Courtyard after lunch, and then called Huang Yu and ordered: "Go and find out the cause and effect of Xie Yuhuai's trouble and let him know."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Huang Yu immediately turned around and left.
In his previous life, Xie Yuheng knew that Xie Yuhuai had been involved in a life-threatening lawsuit, but at that time he had his own family to stand up for him.
Besides, I happened to not be in Beijing at that time, so I didn’t ask what caused the trouble.
I guess it must be because of women's affairs, jealousy, and other things that are not on the table...
"Master, I'll wait for you to take a foam bath and take a nap!" Xiao Mo came over and felt sorry for his father. Since he returned to Beijing, he has been suffering from illness and getting up early in the morning. He is busy with official duties and has never had a good rest.
As soon as the case was over, the emperor gave him a few days off to let him have a good rest, and the marquis came to trouble the prince again because of his concubine. Alas! How difficult it is for you!
"Yeah, that's okay." Xie Yuheng nodded.
Xie Yuheng was originally a mysophobic person, and these days he has been running between the yamen and the prison cell every day.
Even if I take a shower twice a day in the summer, I feel like I can smell the stench of sweat and blood on my body.
Xie Yuheng finished taking a foam bath under Xiao Mo's care, and lay down on the bed he had not seen for a long time. Although his body was tired, his brain was running non-stop.
This time when I returned to Beijing, I asked my mother to find a reliable young lady from an aristocratic family to be my wife.
After giving birth to his son, he immediately requested an order to pass on his title of Crown Prince to him.
In this way, the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion will be left to his father and his concubines, and he, his wife, children, and mother can move to the new mansion in a grand manner.
When the time comes, just hang the Governor's Mansion on the door of the new residence.
Xie Yuheng could originally establish a new family and open a mansion when the emperor promoted him to governor.
The reason is that he has the shadow of the prince.
He himself did not want to become a marquis in name only, but wanted to leave this title to his descendants.
Of course, it is impossible to inherit the title of Governor. Therefore, it is even more important to pass on the title to his descendants.
If it weren't for passing on the title to his son, and he couldn't take advantage of the two concubines, why would he have waited until now?
Why do you need to be criticized by your father?
Why bother wiping that idiot's ass?
Furthermore, if you marry the imperial concubine, you can legitimately take Wang Tong'er as your concubine.
She should be happy to accept this prince's acceptance of her as his concubine.
How many high-ranking disciples would accept their maids as concubines?
Giving me the position of concubine is considered a promotion, which is not bad.
well--!
Xie Yuheng, an extremely smart person, didn't understand why Wang Tong'er didn't want to be a concubine.
Not to mention those pedantic and conservative feudal defenders?
In this society where there are distinctions between superiority and inferiority, distinction between high and low, distinction between men and women, and clear distinctions between men and women, it is impossible to change these thoughts that have been instilled in Xie Yuheng since he was a child.
Even if he wanted to change and marry Wang Tong'er, his family would not agree.
If nothing else, let’s just say that the head of the Xie family, Xie Liqing, is a stubborn old man.
In his eyes, when it comes to the marriage of the legitimate children of his clan, he only values the marriage of the higher-ranking person, regardless of the age, beauty or ugliness of the other person?
Not to mention Xie Yuheng, the eldest son of the Xie family? How could the future successor to the position of patriarch marry a little maid as his wife?
Even for the position of concubine, Xie Yuheng still needs to go to the clan to deal with it with the elders, send some money and silk, grant small official positions to their useless children, and ask them to go to the clan leader and say a nice word before he can pass.
······
Huang Yu only went out for more than an hour to investigate the reasons why Xie Yuhuai caused trouble and committed the crime, and returned to Qingsongyuan.
"Xiao Mo, have you rested?" Huang Yu entered the courtyard and saw Xiao Mo taking a nap under the eaves of the corridor outside the bedroom, and asked.
These days, not to mention that the prince is interrogating the case day and night, and their followers have never had a good night's sleep following him.
Not to mention that people are already sleepy in this summer.
"Shh! I just fell asleep not long ago." Xiao Mo raised his head, rubbed his red eyes with his hands and whispered to Huang Yu.
"Is it Huang Yu who's back? Come in and talk." Unexpectedly, Xie Yuheng could hear their whispers in the inner bedroom. It's obvious that Xie Yuheng is really the kind of person who sleeps lightly.
"Yes, my subordinate has come in."
Huang Yu walked in and told the whole story of Xie Yuhuai's case.
Xie Yuheng really guessed it, wasn't Xie Yuhuai the one who caused trouble with the flower wine?
However, the man who competed with Xie Yuhuai over the flower wine was also a child of an aristocratic family, but he was not favored.
The man's name was Cheng Chen. He was originally a sick man. If he indulged in wine and sex all day long, his body would have been drained out.
------Digression-----
Rong's: Heng'er, use it to disperse.
Xie Yuheng: Yes, mother, my son will accompany you to dinner.
