Seeing his mother like this, Xie Langhua couldn't help feeling uncomfortable, but he knew that a decision had to be made on such a matter. This family could not continue like this.
Thinking of what his father said last night, he pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Father said that if you don't want to send the third sister back to the Jiang family, it's okay. This time the family will have fun in a garden on the outskirts of Beijing for a few days.
At the same time, in the name of the child, several Jinke Jinshi will be invited to join them. The father has already drawn up several lists, and the mother will choose one person from among these people to be the husband of the third sister, and marry the third sister before July this year.
, but at the same time, it must be stated that the third sister is just the adopted daughter of the Xie family. When getting married, the third sister must change her gender to Jiang, and on the day of her resignation, she must ask the parents of the Jiang family to come forward and make her divorce in the inn."
"What did you say?!" Ms. Qi was already prepared in her heart. Xie Yuncang's conditions for her daughter to stay would be very harsh, but she did not expect that she would be so ruthless. "Then wouldn't your third sister become a joke in the whole capital?!"
Xie Langhua didn't say anything more, but the silence at this time said everything.
The mother and son were at a stalemate for a while.
Mr. Qi lay on her back on the bed, shedding tears and feeling that her whole life had become gloomy.
Xie Langhua was still kneeling on the ground.
Mother Liang did not dare to go far this time, so she listened outside. Although she could not hear the conversation very clearly, she knew the content and couldn't help but feel frightened.
Now that it was completely quiet inside, I couldn't help but feel anxious.
After waiting for more than an hour, when it was time for lunch, I still couldn't help myself. I pushed the door in and saw Xie Langhua kneeling. He quickly said: "Brother, why are you still kneeling?! Doesn't this make Mrs.
Feeling uncomfortable?"
However, Mrs. Qi did not give her any face at all, and shouted angrily: "When you go out, don't stop him from fulfilling his filial piety here."
Mother Liang wanted to say something else, but Mrs. Qi got angry and threw a pillow down.
No one dared to persuade me now, so I had to wait outside for my wife to calm down.
However, Mrs. Qi was not angry for too long. The next day, the old lady invited an envoy from Zhuo Yuan to come in and treat Mrs. Qi. When everyone paid their respects in the Shou'an Hall, they complained a little: "What if I'm sick?"
Can you hide your illness and avoid medical treatment? I feel sorry for my son who refuses to tell the truth. After all, he is already in his forties. How can he withstand such pain?"
So everyone came to visit the doctor one after another, and the old lady once again sent a message, asking Xie Songhua to take good care of his body and then go to his mother to take care of her illness.
This is a rich and powerful family. No matter how much trouble there is, once the matter is over, they will have one excuse after another to whitewash the situation.
At the same time, Xie Songhua finally understood that even the Qi family, who was so majestic at the time as the matron, was still struggling after offending the powerful people in the family.
This is a place where rules are followed, and the rules of this place are framed by layers of classes.
This forced her to re-evaluate her words and deeds and try her best to conform to the rules of this world.
But now the old lady doesn't want her to go to the Summer Palace to pay her respects, which is a very tolerant thing for her.
After getting into trouble with Mr. Qi, it was really difficult for Xie Songhua to let go of her prejudices and go see Ms. Qi, and to bow her head and bow to her in a proper manner.
Of course, this is also temporary.
When it's time to face it, you still have to face it after all.
Xie Songhua waited until Mrs. Qi's health improved and she was able to go out to Shou'an Hall to pay her respects. Then Shi Shiran followed her out, thinking that it was at this time that she fully recovered.
I just didn't expect that I escaped to go to the Summer Palace to say hello, but met him directly at the door of the Shou'an Hall.
Ding Xiang was assigned to do other things today, and Cui Liu came with her.
Her personality has always been calmer than that of Ding Xiang. Dang even lowered her voice and reminded: "Young lady is a junior, please lower your head for now. Whether in front of the master or the old lady, you can get a sensible impression, but don't be impulsive anymore."
.”
Xie Songhua sighed, what else could he do?
Reaching this point has already turned the entire mansion upside down. Before she came all this way, the people below were all enthusiastic when seeing her, as if they were afraid of offending her.
Needless to say, Xie Songhua also knows that after this incident, no one will deny that she is already recognized by everyone as the girl from the Xie family who is most valued by the old lady and Xie Yuncang.
So she calmed down her emotions, walked up to her with slow and slow steps, and lowered her voice to make her voice sound steady and generous, "Greetings to my wife, my wife, my daughter is lucky today."
Zhuo Yuan envoy gave me permission to go out. I originally planned to go to the Summer Palace to visit my grandmother after greeting her, but unexpectedly I met my wife here. Is your wife well and well?"
Mrs. Qi watched Xie Songhua coming from a distance, and almost immediately wanted to turn around and walk away, but Mother Liang reminded her, "If Madam doesn't go down this step now, then won't she have suffered in vain this time? I don't want to think about others."
Yeah, you should also think about the third girl!"
These words were like a blow to the head, making Mr. Qi wake up.
But standing here, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
There were many pairs of eyes around her staring at her. If Xie Songhua just ignored her and moved forward while she was standing here, then she would be really embarrassed and thrown into the mud.
Seeing Xie Songhua greeting her in such a polite manner, she was still dissatisfied and felt that this girl was extremely hypocritical.
Seeing that she was just staring at Xie Songhua and not answering, Mother Liang couldn't help but gently pulled her sleeves anxiously.
Mrs. Qi finally came to her senses and said, "Well, you're fine, don't worry, I'm much better already."
The words were spoken generously, but the voice seemed to be squeezed out, and it sounded reluctant.
But it doesn't matter, as long as we talk to each other.
Xie Songhua was too lazy to say any more and took a step back automatically, pretending to be waiting with his head down.
Then the mother and daughter went to the old lady's house one after another.
Even before they entered the house, the clever maid reported the situation here.
The old lady closed her eyes and nodded: "That's how it should be. Let me just say that the fourth girl knows the basics and won't be awkward anymore. She is a member of our family in this life, so she can't be confused."
Xie Wenyuan on the side just smiled and did not answer.
There may not be people watching everywhere else. At this moment, the mother and daughter have arrived, and everyone in the houses and courtyards has also quickly arrived. Although they are still paying attention to their propriety, they can't hide their appraising eyes.
Basic politeness is of course indispensable. Whenever they meet, they always ask about the health of Mrs. Qi and Xie Songhua.
After a lot of back and forth, this matter was finally settled.
Everyone happily discussed how to go to another courtyard the day after tomorrow.
Mrs. An carefully counted to the old lady what arrangements had been made on the other side, what things had been prepared to take there, which servants should be asked to go there first tomorrow, etc.
Everyone else listened with great interest, but Qi seemed a little listless.
In the past, every one or two years, the family would go out to have fun in such a grand way, and she would always organize it.
That's it. After such a long time, she didn't bother to fight for this leisure time.
But this year, even her Shuer couldn't go with her when she went out!
The more Qi thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't sit still here at all. When the party was over, she didn't even return to the Summer Palace and went directly to Banxiangzhou.
