After Mrs. Xie told everything about Jiang Shuhua in the Xie family, the look on Mrs. Fang's face became serious.
"You are confused!" Old Mrs. Fang commented unceremoniously, "Speaking of which, you are already over sixty years old, and you have been watching with your eyes since you were a child.
Whenever there is such a restless person in the back house, we should take it seriously. The child is young and lives in the front yard. How can he know clearly and carefully what is going on in the back yard?
Since you hugged her wrongly, you should change her back as soon as possible. After so many years of caring and loving each other like flesh and blood, is there anything you can feel sorry for?
As for the one in my family, even if it is raised to death, the worst case scenario is that we don’t have this one in our family and we can just raise it in peace for the rest of our lives.”
Madam Xie was told about her shortcomings, and her face was a little ugly, but she had to nod her head and said: "Don't you know, it's a big mistake to be soft-hearted this time. It's just a back and forth, and there is no way out."
Old Mrs. Fang also wanted to say that there were many opportunities between the time she found out she was carrying the wrong child and when Jiang Shuhua entered the palace. But looking at Old Mrs. Xie's face, she swallowed these heart-wrenching words and said after a while:
"You are not a sloppy person. Probably because it involves children, you can't help but be soft-hearted. Now that this incident has happened again, what are your plans now?"
The expression on Mrs. Xie's face remained unchanged, and all she could see was the bowl of tea in her hand.
Mrs. Fang didn't press any questions and just stayed by her side quietly.
In fact, she had already guessed a little bit at this time, but she was not sure yet.
Although she had not been in the capital for long, her granddaughter became the prince's concubine. Even though she was an unpopular prince, her status was still there.
Old Mrs. Fang's background is not bad, and her living environment since she was a child has made her more sensitive than others. This keen sense makes her have to be more vigilant about the troubles in the capital.
This is another reason why she came to Beijing.
She has raised her grandchildren single-handedly, and her two children are her heart and soul, and she really can't let go of them right now.
Especially after Sun Tzu was transferred to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.
Therefore, although she felt some sympathy for Mrs. Xie at this moment, she did not intend to pierce the layer of paper first.
After thinking for a while, Mrs. Xie suddenly smiled and said: "Although we all grew up in the same place in the past, now after so many years, everyone has changed to some extent. Some sisters have different temperaments.
It’s different from before.”
Old Mrs. Fang nodded with a smile and said: "This is natural. Everyone will become better. For some people, if everything goes smoothly, their mood will naturally be more open-minded.
Some people are always bumpy in life, not to mention their temperament, but they also experience it in their appearance. We are born with all kinds of people, and naturally not everyone is the same."
Mrs. Xie nodded in agreement, "That's right. So, even if people got along very well in the past and could talk to each other, it's hard to guarantee that they still have the same tacit understanding as before.
Similarly, the relationship may not have been that good before, or the relationship was not very compatible, but after a period of time, the conversation started to become more opportunistic."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Fang raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "If you don't explain clearly, I will think that you are praising me!"
Mrs. Xie did not deny it, and even nodded in agreement, "This is true, but because of this, I always feel that today's party is somewhat less interesting."
As she said this, she waved her hands in disgust, "I spent most of the day just trying to catch up with my sisters, but I spent most of the time socializing."
"Since you don't like it, let's discuss the invitation list next time. We must satisfy you, the mother of the chief minister, in every aspect."
"Good, good!" Mrs. Xie didn't feel there was anything wrong with being called that way. Instead, she sighed, "That's it, I have to be blamed. People of such an old age can go out casually.
Say a few words, but I don’t know how much is right and wrong.”
Old Mrs. Fang's eyes flickered, and then she smiled and said: "This is easy. The list should be more careful. If you can talk to us about the same place, I don't think you are such an arrogant person. As for the place, it is also easy. My family is here
Although I am not in the capital, I bought some places in the capital in the early years. Every place is clean. When the time comes, I will quietly invite the sisters over, just like when I was young. Wouldn't it be nice?
"
Mrs. Xie's smile became much more sincere when she looked at Mrs. Fang. After a long time, she nodded and said with a smile: "I just said, my sister still needs to know my temper."
The two people finally finalized today's affairs.
On the way back, Mother Shen finally asked: "Old madam, what are your plans..."
The matter was so important that even Shen's mother did not dare to say it directly, but slowly stretched out four fingers.
Mrs. Xie raised her eyelids and glanced at her, then said softly: "It's good that you know. If even a little bit of news about this leaks out, even I won't be able to protect you."
In fact, this sentence is just an instruction in vain. Mother Shen has followed Mrs. Xie for so many years. The two of them have experienced ups and downs, and even faced the test of life and death together.
If you are not at ease with Mother Shen, there will be no one in the world that Mrs. Xie trusts.
After Shen's mother got the exact answer from her master, her whole body became nervous. She lowered her voice again, "But the old lady, just for Jiang Shuhua, will..."
Madam Xie sneered, "Do you even think I'm making a fuss out of a molehill?"
Mother Shen was a little scared, but she nodded honestly.
Mrs. Xie couldn't help but laugh, "I'm older now and less courageous. It doesn't matter if you laugh at me, but to be honest, the biggest reason really lies with her.
I have met many people in my life. I have seen people as bold as her. I have also seen people like her who act unscrupulously.
But I don’t see many people who are so unscrupulous and ruthless. That’s it for other people. I, including you second master, a few young masters, these are all. When people are disappointed, they can throw away any kind of feelings.
open.
But look at your second wife, who is less than forty years old, and now she looks like she is old enough to know her destiny."
Speaking of the second wife, Mother Shen also looked sad.
Mrs. Xie then continued: "Do you think she is just locked in that yard and cannot come out? Although your second master said that she would not be allowed to come out, she has been providing delicious food and drink.
Whenever the second young master comes back, he is the first to see her.
After all, it’s just that there’s an empty space in my heart!”
Mother Shen understood the meaning, "The old lady is talking about Jiang Shuhua."
Mrs. Xie nodded, "The daughter she has loved for so many years is like a treasure in the palm of her hand. She is obviously not her own flesh and blood, but she has faced the whole family for her. She thinks that the mother-daughter love is touching the world.
Deep down, the result is just her wishful thinking.
Look at that one in the palace, it's so beautiful, but have you ever asked her about it? If nothing else, she can post that post to oppress our family, so why can't she send someone to visit the Qi family?
Even if it is like this, it can make us people really frightened for a while!"
Mother Shen nodded and said, "The second wife is a little confused about people after all."
"This is certainly good, but if you think about Jiang Shuhua, she is the most terrifying person. Even the Qi family can be so cold-blooded, but what about the others?"
