Originally, everyone thought that when Xie Langhua went to the Summer Palace, mother and son would quarrel again. After all, everything in the mansion was fine now, except for the strange atmosphere in the Summer Palace and Yilan Garden.
According to Qi's temperament, there is a high probability that she will be angry with her son.
What is surprising is that the conversation between mother and son turned out to be very peaceful. I don’t know what was said specifically. In short, when Xie Langhua came out, his face looked relaxed, and then he went to Yilan Garden.
The next day, Mrs. Qi showed up at Shou'an Hall with Xie Shuhua to pay her respects. Unexpectedly, she met Xie Songhua on the way.
Although he was very unhappy, Xie Songhua still bowed and greeted her according to the rules.
The expression on Xie Shuhua's face was stiff and embarrassed, and she simply turned her head away without even looking at him.
Instead, Mrs. Qi put on a smile and said, "I haven't been feeling well these days and haven't been out and about. That day I heard that you were exempted from the election. I originally wanted to ask you about your specific situation, but I couldn't put up a fight.
Don't be offended in your heart.
It's better now, there's no such thing as entering the palace, you should breathe a sigh of relief and live happily for a few days."
Xie Songhua felt horrified after hearing what she said, and wondered whether Mrs. Qi had taken the wrong medicine.
The astonished expression could not be controlled for a while and showed on his face.
Seeing her reaction, Mrs. Qi felt a little embarrassed herself, and said calmly: "Don't talk about this now, the days are still long, let's go to your grandmother's place to pay her respects first!"
As for the Qi family's mother and daughter coming out, the old lady was not surprised at all, but smiled and said: "If you are not feeling well, it is good to rest for two more days. The family is so busy all day long, so don't be exhausted. Anyway,
Your two sisters-in-law can also help you."
The others looked at each other in surprise, but did not dare to ask.
But it was obvious that the old lady's words were final. In other words, in the eyes of the senior executives of the Xie family, Qi's failure to come out during this period was just because she was feeling unwell.
After her old man said this, who else would dare to come out and question her?
Ms. Yu was very obedient, "I hope my second sister-in-law can get well soon. I'm not a natural person for doing things. During this period, my sister-in-law is taking care of me. I can't help at all."
An's heart was naturally unhappy. She was very proud of being in charge of the family during this period. She originally thought that Qi had completely fallen out of favor with her mother-in-law. Who knew how she felt when she was able to mention Qi's faults in one sentence so easily?
Can feel better.
But Yu was so boneless. The old lady did whatever she said, but she couldn't stand up at all, which made her even more uncomfortable.
But this Mr. Yu had a very powerful mouth. He was obviously trying to flatter the old lady, but he even complimented her so much that she couldn't say anything.
However, Mrs. An originally thought that the old lady would transfer the power of the middle feed back to her, and she was thinking about what to do.
Who would have thought that there would be no more follow-up, and the words would stop at Yu's place.
"I heard that Minister Tao is still ill?"
This question was asked of Mrs. Yu, who replied very cautiously: "I am still ill, but Mr. Xia Ge is going back to Beijing now, so the appointment from the Holy Emperor has not been announced yet."
Hearing this, the old lady looked a little disappointed.
Xie Feiwu is currently serving as the Minister of Ceremony and Qing Dynasty in the Ministry of Rites, although he is still some distance away from becoming the Minister of Rites.
However, the Minister of Rites, Tao Shilang, had never been very physically fit, and Xie Feiwu had been asked to replace him as the examiner of the joint examination.
So when Minister Tao took sick leave again this year, Mrs. Xie couldn't help but look forward to it again.
This major exam is held once every three years, and those who have passed must respect the examiner as their teacher.
Then Xie Fei Wusheng had many more disciples. It is hard to say what achievements these people will have in the government in the future, but they will always have more young connections.
Of course, this kind of thing is rare and hard to come by, so it's just talk.
The old lady no longer continued this topic, but instead asked about several sisters. Now she asked about Xie Qionghua's body, and now she talked about the furnishings in Xie Songhua's room, which she thought were not exquisite enough.
After a while, she asked Xie Sihua to draw something for her and wanted to give it as a gift. She also mentioned that Xie Tu had been sleeping late recently.
Even Xie Li was greeted by the old lady because she had a pimple on her face.
Except for Xie Shuhua.
She originally thought that coming this time would be embarrassing, as others might not know what they would say, and she was also afraid that the old lady would reprimand or bully her because of her previous words.
But no, the old lady didn't say a word. She breathed a sigh of relief at first, feeling that she had avoided embarrassment. After coming out today, it would be easier to walk around the house in the future.
But she soon realized something was wrong. From the time she came in until now, the old lady's eyes had not even glanced at her, let alone stayed.
It was as if she was invisible and couldn't be seen at all.
Not only the old lady is like this, but others are too.
Xie Li just sat blankly behind the crowd and didn't speak much. He occasionally made a few sentences and looked listless.
Xie Qionghua sat next to An as usual, and mother and daughter whispered from time to time.
Xie Sihua and Lin Ruoxi didn't know what they were talking about, they covered their mouths and laughed.
Xie Songhua and Xie Tu sat quietly, smiling at each other from time to time when they heard what their elders were talking about.
In this Shou'an Hall, where Xie's family gathered every day, it seemed as if she suddenly felt out of place.
She had a feeling that she no longer had her place in this place.
This feeling made her feel very panicked. She was even more panicked than when she found Xie Yuncang coming after having a good time at the banquet.
When the old lady smiled and sent everyone away, no one said a word to her.
Xie Tu left Xie Songhua with a smile, "Fourth sister, come and help me look at something."
When Xie Sihua and Lin Ruoxi heard this, they hurriedly said: "You are going to eat alone behind our backs again, so we don't want to obey, we have to go and make a fuss together!"
Xie Tu immediately blushed, "Where! I just want to change something, and I asked my fourth sister to go over the details for me."
Lin Ruoxi deliberately teased her, "Fourth sister can take the details, but we can't? We have to go!"
Several girls went to Xie Tu's small yard with smiles on their faces.
Then Xie Sihua greeted Xie Li, "Fifth sister, do you want to go together?"
Xie Li's eyes lit up and he immediately followed with a smile, "Okay!"
Mrs. Qi frowned, and then heard Xie Tu say: "Third sister, are you coming too?"
Mrs. Qi's heart was relieved. Although Liu Yatou didn't look like she had any great potential, she still had a good temper.
She looked at Xie Shuhua beside her gently and said, "Shu'er, your sisters have all gone to your sixth sister's house, you should go too!"
Xie Shuhua sneered, and then said firmly: "Second brother asked me to write a post, and I have to go out and get it out."
"Then let's go!" As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Sihua took the sisters' hands and walked aside.
Xie Shuhua was immediately so angry that her chest felt uncomfortable. Wasn't this a deliberate attempt to squeeze her out?
Just as Ms. Qi was about to comfort her, Mother Shen came over and said, "Second Madam, the old lady is waiting for you in the back hall. I have something to ask you."
Now that the relationship had finally been eased a little, Qi did not dare to neglect and left in a hurry.
Xie Shuhua was left alone, and tears immediately burst out of her eyes, spinning in her eyes. In the end, she could only stamp her feet harshly and turn around to go out.
But after all, he felt unhappy and simply stayed on the only way to Yanchuntai.
She waited for two cups of tea before she saw Xie Songhua coming, but before she got closer, she found another person blocking her way.
