Seeing this, the smiles on the faces of everyone in the Xie Mansion faded away, and their eyes all fell on Xie Songhua.
Although Xie Yuncang and Mrs. Xie had talked behind closed doors for a long time about the matter of Jiang Shuhua's return to Ning last time, looking at Mrs. Xie's face the next day, she knew that the conversation between mother and son was probably not very pleasant.
But the person who really suffered was the Qi family. Xie Yuncang ran to the Summer Palace and almost beat her in public.
There were so many people coming and going at that time, and the people in the first and third houses were all listening outside with their feet up and ears open, which really made her feel embarrassed.
So when she saw Mrs. Qi's attitude again, Mrs. Qi was the first to be frightened. She quickly stood up and went over to greet her, "Mom, why are you here today?"
Xie Songhua looked at the Qi family over there, sitting still, with a polite and distant smile on his face, "Today is the birthday of my second brother. My second brother has always treated me very well, so naturally I want to come over and congratulate him on his birthday."
Mrs. Qi has been quite proud of herself recently. Through Jiang Shuhua, the Qi family has managed to get on the prince's boat.
Now she was eager to tie up the Xie family through marriage, but there was Xie Songhua in the middle.
Therefore, I was very dissatisfied with Xie Songhua in my heart. When my daughter wrote to her and said that her son-in-law had eaten and eaten a meal because Jiang Shuhua returned to Ning last time, I became even more disgusted when I saw this face.
"I thought the princess no longer looked down on her mother's family, but I didn't expect our Brother Lang to fall in the princess's eyes."
Xie Songhua did not reply to her words, but turned his attention to Mrs. Xie.
When Mrs. Xie saw this, she immediately frowned and said, "My parents are wrong. Although the third girl is now a princess, she never puts on airs. In her parents' family, things are still the same as before. Not to mention, how many of their brothers and sisters are there?"
The two were already getting along extremely well.
If you say this, it will easily cause misunderstandings between the sisters, and there will be no resentment."
Mrs. Qi did not expect that Mrs. Xie would protect Xie Songhua so quickly. She was very disdainful, but she had nothing to say, so she could only say dryly: "I said the wrong thing, don't misunderstand me.
.”
The smile on Xie Songhua's face never fell, as if she was not affected by the sharp attack just now. At this time, her eyes fell on the third girl of the Qi family over there.
"This hairpin on the third girl's head is really special." z.br
Hearing this, the third girl of the Qi family subconsciously held the Thousand Miles of Mountains ruby on her head and shook it, with a bit of arrogance in her eyes, "This is specially given to our sisters by Sister Donggong Shu'er."
Xie Songhua now recognized the things in the palace when he saw them. He nodded and said, "I'm telling you! It looks like Si Zhenfang's craftsmanship."
Several members of the Qi family had some expressions of pride on their faces. Even in the capital, even if they were officials in the capital, it was not easy to get one or two exquisite items from the Sijianfang.
But I didn't expect that these words would sound unpleasant to Mrs. Qi's ears.
Mrs. Qi also felt that it was not good for her mother-in-law to show off Jiang Shuhua's reward in the Xie Mansion like this, but she had no time to stop it and could only remain silent.
When Mrs. Qi saw that Mrs. Xie's face was not good-looking, she became more and more enthusiastic, "Shu'er is really a filial child. Now that we have returned to Beijing, she is still the same as before, thinking about any good things first."
Filial piety.
For example, let’s talk about hairpins! She only got a few hairpins in total, and she gave them all to their sisters. Oh, what a pity, I just wish she wasn’t my biological granddaughter.”
At this moment, Xie Songhua suddenly felt that all the anger he had felt because of his grandmother was in vain. With such emotional intelligence, what is there to be angry about?
She can dig a hole for herself.
Seeing the ugly expressions on the faces of the Xie family, Xie Songhua felt better and better, and the smile on his face became more genuine, "It's nothing else, it's just that the things from this palace should be kept properly.
, the ins and outs of everything are registered in the palace, and if you make a mistake, it will be a crime of disrespect."
"Who doesn't know this yet?" Mrs. Qi subconsciously felt that Xie Songhua was suspecting that she was pretending to be fat and took ordinary
The jewelry was said to be a gift from the palace, and he immediately gave Xie Songhua a contemptuous look, "Shu'er is not someone who doesn't know the importance of things. These things are all well known. Even the princess knows it."
"That's good."
Xie Songhua smiled and picked up the tea at hand and took a sip.
It was either early or late, so the boy from the Qi family hurried over at this moment, "Old madam, the old madam is in trouble, the second master is involved in a life-threatening lawsuit!"
Just such a sentence shocked everyone present.
Mrs. Qi stood up immediately and said, "You bitch, you're in a hurry about something. It's broad daylight. Don't say anything nonsense."
"It's true... the second master beat someone to death for a prostitute in Jun Mo Zui."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Qi's expression immediately changed, "How is that possible?"
The second wife of the Qi family was also panicked, "What is going on? Is it a rumor?"
"It was said that two people were fighting for a prostitute, but neither of them could explain it. They said that whoever could impress the girl would be asked to serve him. The master and the other one were trying to be courteous to the girl, giving her things, but the result was that the master
I gave you a valuable piece of jewelry
Decoration, the other party saw at a glance that he was from the palace. The master refused to admit it, so the two of them started to fight and kidnapped him. By accident, the master accidentally beat the man to death. The man brought many servants with him, so he immediately killed the master.
Take it and report it to the official..."
Mrs. Qi was so angry that she was shaking all over and couldn't say a word.
She knew best what kind of virtue her son had. She didn't need to verify what the boy said, she was sure that it was her own evildoer who was responsible for it.
Mrs. Qi's second wife suddenly burst into tears, "You are so old, yet you still don't know how to behave, and you actually cause such a big thing. I don't know where to put my face. There are two boys and two girls underneath."
, even if he doesn’t want dignity or a future, he should think about the children!”
The Xie family members were also surprised and sent people to find out the situation.
Mrs. Qi was busy comforting her mother and her sister-in-law, one with a head and two children.
Mrs. Qi took a while to recover. When she saw her daughter-in-law crying, she kicked her and said, "Why are you crying! The situation is not clear yet. Are you crying like this for fear that my son will not be well?"
!」
Mrs. Qi's second wife was kicked so hard that she didn't dare to shout anymore. She just hugged Mrs. Qi and sobbed softly.
Everyone was talking about it, but Xie Songhua remained seated and drank tea with a normal expression, and even asked Shaoyao next to her to change her cup.
Mrs. Qi glanced at her such an old god's presence, and became angrier in her heart. She immediately scolded: "It's just a dead person! Why don't you hurry up and find your eldest master to arrange things as soon as possible and give him more money for funeral comfort?"
That’s it.”
Hearing this, Xie Songhua paused while drinking tea. In their opinion, a human life is so simple?
Xie Langhua also frowned when he heard this, but finally got up and said, "Grandma and aunt, don't be anxious. I'll go find out the situation first."
Mrs. Qi immediately nodded and said, "Good boy, it's difficult for you to still be willing to run for your uncle."
After the groups of people were dismissed, Mrs. Qi sat down again. Even though it could be seen from her face that she was still nervous at this time, she still smiled and said: "Who can go to a place like that?
Why do you come from a good family? He must be from the lower classes, it doesn't matter."
