Mrs. Zhou was originally walking around in the bright hall waiting, but when she saw the person coming, she was stunned for a moment: "Ayi, why are you here?"
Gu Yi was wearing a light blue dress and looked a little plain. She smiled and said: "I came to visit my grandmother. I wonder if my grandmother is feeling better?"
Zhou frowned: "It's better. You can go back. I'm here."
Now in Jiang's eyes, several girls are also suspects, and she doesn't want to see any of them.
Gu Yi hesitated before speaking, seeming to be very worried: "I know something happened to my cousin, and my second sister made such a big mistake again. My grandmother must be very sad, but in the end I still have to take care of myself."
"Since she doesn't want to see Ayi, then please ask the eldest aunt to talk to the grandmother more and persuade her more. Now that the matter has come to this, you have to be more open-minded."
"Ayi won't bother you anymore and I'll take my leave."
Gu Yi came here to express her filial piety.
Jiang's face looked ugly.
Aunt early spring said: "Now that the words have been brought, the servant left. Miss Xie's words said that the two servant girls around her are also credible. When the wife got the opportunity, she also told them so as not to worry them.
"
Jiang agreed on the face, but was thinking about it in his heart.
The two of them were loyal, so it was okay to let Ming Jing know, but Ming Xin was always shouting and shouting, and it was not easy to hide things. If she were to find out, someone might find out.
Mother Zaochun said: "But it's better to resolve the matter as early as possible. This matter has been going on for a long time, and I'm afraid no evidence can be found."
Jiang nodded: "Thank you for letting me know. I will find out."
Aunt early spring said: "If there is anything that needs help, my wife has also said that she is willing to help. My wife likes Miss Xie the most, so I don't want her to be wronged."
In the early spring, Auntie had been with Mrs. Rong Guogong for decades, and she did everything in a flawless manner, taking into account all aspects.
Xie Yixiao's concerns about Jiang, which she had expressed before, made it clear that Jiang could not let her be wronged and let the matter go smoothly.
Now, Mrs. Rong Guogong expressed her love for Xie Yixiao and supported her. Firstly, it was to put pressure on her, and secondly, naturally, it was to make what might happen next go more smoothly.
After Grandma left in early spring, Jiang asked Zhou to come in, and then asked her to send someone down the mountain: "Go and invite the two brothers up the mountain. This matter needs to be tried properly."
Mrs. Zhou hesitated: "Master Hou still has to go to the Ministry of Rites..."
Jiang glanced at her lightly: "Do you know the seriousness of the matter? Do you have to wait until everyone in the family is dead before letting them know that something happened at home?"
Zhou's heart was frightened and she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to send someone down to invite someone.
In the evening, the Xie family arrived at Yunzhong Temple. When they learned that Xie Yixiao was staying with Mrs. Rong Guogong and had nothing to do for the time being, the three of them went directly to the courtyard of Changning Houfu.
"The Xie family is here?" Jiang was surprised, "Why are the Xie family here at this time?"
"I heard that Mrs. Xie wanted to come over to pay homage to Buddha for a few days. Knowing that we were here, she came to see Yi Xiao." Ms. Zhou's scalp was numb. If the Xie family knew that something had happened to Xie Yixiao, they would still look for her now.
If not, it will be a big deal.
At first, the old lady insisted on raising Xie Yixiao in the Changning Marquis Mansion. It was not a big deal to raise him, but if he was killed, it would be a big deal.
Although the relationship between Xie Yixiao and the Xie family is average, many clans are the same. They just fight within their own families and do not tolerate bullying from outsiders, especially the Xie family.
The Xie family split into branches in the past, and each left with its own people. The branch that stayed in the Imperial City only had a small number of direct descendants.
In the early years, there were two brothers, Mr. Xie and Xie Qingshan. Mr. Xie had two sons and one daughter. Xie Qingshan only had Xie Yixiao, and later his adopted heir Xie Yiling. In the next generation, the only male heirs were Xie Jin, Xie Zhuo and Xie Yu.
, the only legitimate daughter is Xie Zhu.
The Xie family attaches great importance to concubines, and the typewriters follow the rule of "obey the concubines but not the concubines." Let's take Xie Yixiao as an example. If she were a concubine, I'm afraid she would have to be named "Xie Xiao", and she is a legitimate daughter.
, only then got the word 'yi'.
Moreover, only the direct branch is the direct branch, and all the descendants born to the concubine are the common branch. This is another argument.
Different from Zhou's fear and worry, Jiang knew that Xie Yixiao was safe now and felt confident, so he was not too afraid. However, he was afraid that there would be some trouble when Xie's family came.
But now that it's already here, it's natural that it can't be hidden anymore.
"Please wait in the Ming Hall." Mrs. Jiang asked Xiangu to change her clothes, and then went to the Ming Hall. At this time, Mrs. Zhou walked in together with the Xie family.
Mrs. Xie is the head matron of the Xie family. Although the Xie family does not have a title, they are still members of the clan and are powerful. Their status is naturally extraordinary. If it were not for the marriage relationship between the two families, the Zhou family and Mrs. Xie should be of the same generation.
It was only right for Zhou to go out and greet him.
"Meet Mrs. Gu." Mrs. Xie came forward with the two of them to salute.
"Mrs. Xie, Xie Shaoqing, and young master Xie, please take a seat quickly."
The group of people sat down. Xie Yu was a little frustrated, but he was not a fool. He naturally knew what to say and what not to say at this time, so he sat aside and listened.
Mrs. Xie exchanged greetings with Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Zhou, and then asked about Xie Yixiao's situation.
Jiang had no choice but to tell the matter, but she kept Xie Yixiao's affairs with Rong Guogong and his wife hidden. After all, it was better for few people to know about it.
Although Mrs. Xie knew about this, she still showed surprise and anger appropriately: "Mrs. Tai, our Xie family's girl is raised in your house. You agreed to do it when you picked her up. You will definitely take good care of her.
.”
"Now that something like this has happened, even people's lives are uncertain. You need to give us an explanation. If this matter is really related to the Changning Marquis Mansion, we will definitely not let it go."
Jiang said: "Don't worry, if this matter is really related to my Gu family, my old lady will not let the culprit off lightly!"
Mrs. Xie added: "It just so happens that today my son's second uncle is accompanying our mother and son up the mountain. He is the best at this. We might as well leave this matter to him for review. What do you think, Madam Tai?"
"Let Xie Shaoqing come to investigate?" Jiang frowned slightly, a little reluctant.
If Dali Temple intervened in this matter, wouldn't it become a government investigation?
When the time comes, when everyone knows about the matter, where will the face of the Changning Marquis Mansion be left? Where will Xie Yixiao’s face be left?
I'm afraid those talkative women will spread rumors about her, ruin her reputation and affect her future marriage.
Jiang hesitated: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate. If people find out, Gillian's reputation..."
