Even though everyone in the Xie family has issued an order, no words from outside are allowed to come in.
But these nonsense remarks are getting more and more powerful.
Xie Yuncang was promoted to the rank of Second Assistant at a young age. There were many envious people in the court, and there would be some minor disturbances on weekdays.
Now that there is such a big scandal, how can those people behind the scenes not fan the flames?
Aunt Lan comes home every day with an extremely ugly face.
Sometimes, you can see her calling a few maids aside and instructing them in detail not to talk nonsense in front of her.
What more nonsense can you talk about? Of course it’s just the words outside.
In fact, I have already prepared for these things in my heart, so when things happen, I won't really suffer such a big blow.
In her previous life, she had read a lot of comments that had been exposed online, but she really didn't believe that any words could hit her.
When she called Aunt Lan over and asked what was going on outside, she realized that a person's mouth has been a weapon that can kill people since ancient times.
I don’t know where the evidence for many rumors came from. Why did Xie Yuncang have more than a dozen concubines? How many of them came in and left out over the years.
It's said that the old lady had a kind face but a dark heart. She looked at the old lady who was so kind, but actually struck her with a deadly blow without any politeness. She made the old lady unhappy and beat her to death in public.
There are also those who spread rumors about the Shen Si Museum, saying that it looks like a place for reading, but it is actually a place for girls from the Xie family to find partners. It is a complete mess inside.
It was even said that several girls in the Xie family had long since realized that Xie Songhua was the illegitimate daughter of Xie Yuncang who had been messing around outside. They were just afraid of ruining his reputation, so they admitted it was a mistake.
I don’t know why this last statement spread so widely, and some people said with certainty, otherwise, why not send the first daughter back? It is clear that both of them are biological.
Someone else added evidence, saying that they only saw their wife taking the original girl out, and the one who came back later was not welcomed at all, which shows that it was not the wife of the wife who gave birth to the baby.
Others said that in the jewelry shop in the south of the city, they saw with their own eyes that the Qi family treated the fourth girl who came from outside and protected the third girl at every turn. How could a mother have such an attitude towards her daughter who had suffered so much when living outside?
?
It seems to be more and more confirmed that Xie Songhua is Xie Yuncang's illegitimate daughter.
The Xie family has always had a pure and upright family tradition. Starting from the old man, they have an excellent reputation in Beijing.
It is precisely for this reason that Xie Changqing teaches at the Shensi Hall and is welcomed by such a wealthy family in Beijing.
Needless to say, Xie Changqing's ability is of course also due to the good family tradition of the Xie family.
Now Xie Shuhua's move can be regarded as pouring a bucket of dirty water directly on the Xie family.
Xie Songhua is okay, after all, he doesn’t feel too deeply about this, he just feels helpless! Everyone has a mouth, and there is no cost to spread rumors. Most of them are those who like to hear other people’s bad things.
I wish I could see other people become a big joke.
However, the old lady fell ill immediately and couldn't get up for several days.
When it comes to who in the house cares about reputation the most, Xie Yuncang can only be ranked behind the old lady.
At this time, he was too embarrassed to ask the imperial doctor to come to his home, so Xie Songhua had no choice but to go to Shou'an Hall every day to check the old lady's pulse and prescribe some evacuation prescriptions.
The rumors outside became more and more intense, and even the An family and the Yu family couldn't stand it. Xie Wenyuan even received a letter from her husband's family, and she didn't know what was written in the letter. She felt a little bad that afternoon, or something.
Lin Ruoxi came to find her quietly, and only then did Xie Songhua find out.
I don’t know how this news reached the Lin family so quickly.
It can be said that the inner residence of Xie Mansion was in a state of chaos for a while.
There was no way, it was not a problem if the internal affairs were in chaos, Xie Yuncang discussed with the old lady, let Xie Qionghua, Xie Songhua and Xie Tu help take care of the affairs of the house. It would be better for the An family to take charge, and the Yu family was weaker.
Let's take a break for now.
How does Xie Songhua know about the housekeeper? He just helps from the side.
Therefore, after the discussion on the first day, An taught her the rules of the servants in the house.
Xie Songhua saw that An's temperament was no longer the same as before, and she was sincere in what she said and did, so she accepted it with confidence.
Xie Songhua didn't have much ability in housekeeping and management, and she didn't want to spend too much time on it. On the same day, she transferred two loyal women from each house, plus two steward aunts from the outer courtyard.
A special task force of the inner and outer courtyards was set up during special periods to focus on ordering the whole house during the period when rumors spread, and then formulated a complete reward and punishment mechanism.
If anyone is found to be spreading rumors internally, sell them directly.
Those who gather for discussion will be dealt with according to measures such as being demoted to Zhuangzi, demoted, punished with a stick, and fined as appropriate.
Anyone who is passive and slows down in work and spreads negative emotions due to the current situation will be recorded and dealt with accordingly.
Since these women can be trusted and reused in each room, they can at least know how to read. Xie Songhua asked them to clearly record all the crimes committed by everyone whose names were recorded, including when, where and who committed the crime.
What happened, who was there to testify, etc.
After punishing several people, the unhealthy trend in the house was finally curbed. When it comes to their own interests, no one dares to hide behind and make sneaky remarks anymore.
But this only stopped the people below from talking behind the scenes, and the solemn atmosphere in the house remained.
Both Xie Yuncang and Xie Feiwu of the Xie family were offered a confession and stayed at home for the time being.
Xie Langhua naturally wanted to agree with his father and also wanted to plead guilty, but Xie Yuncang stopped him and ordered him to go to the government office as usual.
No one understood what he meant, but Xie Yuncang persisted, and Xie Langhua could only endure the anger in his heart.
Xie Wenhua never obeyed the control of his family, so he stubbornly went to the camp anyway.
But he came back a few days later because he had a fight with others, but he was such a prickly person that he went back two days later.
In such an atmosphere, who can laugh?
Not to mention there is a bomb buried in everyone's heart.
Although Xie Yuncang didn't say anything about the fact that the child in Xie Shuhua's belly was the third prince, everything that needed to be known was already known.
It's just that no one knows how this matter was handled in the end. In the Shou'an Hall, only the old lady and Xie Yuncang were discussing it that day. As for whether the jade pendant was handed over or not, it is really hard to say.
But looking at the peaceful appearance of Banxiangzhou, it is obvious that this matter has not been settled yet.
The strange thing is that except for the fact that the third girl of the Xie family is pregnant, there has been no other news except for the huge rumors outside.
Not to mention whether the child is the third prince or not, at least he should be a man of his own. But to this day, there is no sign of any signs of concern from the other party.
Seeing that the atmosphere at home was so low, Xie Songhua could do nothing but try his best to protect the health of all his wives.
Originally, when something happened, she could discuss it with Yu Ruzhuo, but now, not even Yu Ruzhuo was around.
I wonder if he has returned successfully now, so he must have heard the rumors about the Xie family from outside! What would he think?
As soon as Xie Songhua thought of this, he immediately forced himself to change his mind. The bridge will return to the bridge and the road will return to the road. With him gone, this matter should be over.
Nowadays, even the scoundrels on the street can slander the Xie family at will, and there are even those mean and mean people who take this opportunity to flaunt themselves and say that if the Xie family wants to marry their legitimate daughter to him at this time,
He was not even willing to let her in as a concubine, otherwise it would be an insult to the family tradition.
The only thing Xie Songhua could think of was that a bigger scandal would occur in the capital, diverting everyone's attention. Therefore, she did not shy away from this, but would secretly ask Aunt Lan about the situation outside.
But to cover up the scandal in Ge's hometown, it must at least be big news about the royal family. This kind of thing is beyond her ability.
When I was at a loss, an unexpected person came to the door.
When Xie Songhua saw Ye Rongshi, he was still a little confused, "What are you doing here?"
