Xie Li shook her head gently, "Third sister didn't tell me anything, but when I went there, I happened to meet her helping the prince pack his things for the trip."
"Prince Chen is going to Datong. Everyone knows this. He will be leaving in two days. Can't we pack things up quickly?"
The old lady spoke calmly and showed no interest.
Xie Li took two steps forward on her knees and looked up at the old lady in front of her, "But grandma, if I hadn't gone over and seen it this time, the third sister didn't tell the government at all about the news. We all knew about it from outside."
land.
She is the girl who married into our family, and she married into such a high position. Now everyone knows that the Holy Spirit is not in good health and there is a lot of rumors. Is there something going on? Shouldn’t we talk to our family first?"
These words touched the old lady's heart.
Was it just for a little fame that she was so happy to marry Xie Songhua to Prince Chen's Mansion?
Not to mention that we must support the children of the Xie family, but with the changes in the court, the two families always have to discuss things together. This is the in-laws, and the branches and leaves are connected.
But after the two families got married, the relationship remained like that.
Except for necessary occasions, King Chen never went to Xie's house.
That's all. Given his status, even his father-in-law's family has no way to restrain him.
But what about Xie Songhua?
Is it really water that was thrown out?
It was part of my duty to come over for the holidays, but on weekdays there was no sign of intimacy.
Even if she went to Xiangshan Temple, the government would send her a message.
Xie Wenhua is in the camp, and King Chen is also a military commander. It's not just a matter of words to support him. Does it mean that his brother-in-law needs to speak up before he is willing to help?
Xie Yun opened her mouth about her husband-in-law, but she refused.
Not to mention, recently my daughter, who was not living up to expectations, actually wanted to get divorced and had an ugly fight with the Lin family.
I heard that Xie Songhua also said something in Mianqiuju.
The old lady suddenly felt that she had done something wrong.
Why did he send Xie Songhua to Prince Chen's Mansion? Could it be that he wanted her to become Princess Chen to show off in front of him?
Xie Li took in the changes in the old lady's face one by one, and waited for a long time before speaking: "Grandma, outsiders only think that our family has a close relationship with Prince Chen's family, but they don't know that the third sister is not towards her natal family at all.
.
If something goes wrong later, I'm afraid we won't be able to put aside our relationship with the palace!"
The old lady frowned when she heard this, "What did you think of?"
"My granddaughter has limited knowledge and does not dare to talk nonsense. However, the prince is a very important figure in the court. A random move may affect the political situation. I am afraid that our family will be involved in something unknowingly."
The old lady's face also became serious, and she sighed after a long time, then looked at Xie Li and nodded gently, "It's hard for you to think about your family. I heard what you said, and I will discuss it with your father later.
You are a good boy, and when you come out of the cabinet in May, grandma will not treat you badly."
Xie Li's face suddenly turned pale when he heard this. There were some words that he wanted to blurt out, but he also knew that before he could speak, he had to endure it first!
She bowed politely to the old lady and then withdrew.
The curtain moved, and Mother Shen walked out of the blue gauze cabinet at the back. Seeing the old lady's ugly face, she advised: "The third girl's temper is like that. It may not be like what the fourth girl said, she deliberately messed with our family."
It’s divided.”
"I know," the old lady nodded, "Although the third girl is a little cold-hearted, she is not the one with bad intentions. But what Xie Li said just now is also true."
Mother Shen was speechless after hearing this.
The old lady spoke again after a while, "I married her originally to bring our family to a higher level, but now it seems that her help is really limited.
Moreover, since he is a child who has returned halfway, he has no family ties, so naturally he will not bother to plan for our family."
"You are still young. Once you experience some things, you will understand the importance of family."
The old lady did not say this, and pondered for a while before saying: "What do you think Xie Li means?"
After waiting for a while, before Mother Shen could speak, she turned around and saw a somewhat embarrassed look on her face, so she snorted lightly, "What else do you dare not say in front of me? You are the only one around me now.
Trusted.”
"Look, old slave..." Shen's mother still considered her choice of words, "Just now the old lady was talking to the fourth girl about the wedding in May, and the fourth girl seemed to be reluctant."
The old lady sneered, "She has ambitions."
"Old madam, from my perspective, the third girl is just entering the palace for the first time, and the prince has such a temperament, so I am afraid that I may not be able to know anything in advance.
As the old lady said, after all, the third girl did not grow up in our family. It is normal to have some estrangement, but the relationship will always work out. If we are shaken first and then send someone over, the relationship that is already weak will be broken.
I’m afraid it’s really going to disappear completely.”
Mother Shen was a maid who came with the old lady as a dowry, and later married the steward of the mansion. The steward had passed away long ago, and her son is now helping to manage the Xie family's property in other places.
For the old lady, Mother Shen is the most trusted confidant.
The old lady would usually listen carefully to her opinions, "What you said makes sense, let's take a look! That's all. She should never say anything to Wen Yuan. Now that the Lin family wants to come to Beijing, our family
His face doesn’t look good either.”
"My aunt is also old, and there is still a master in the house now! Don't worry about this, just relax and enjoy your happiness!"
Mother Shen said, and took out a new forehead wiping band, "This is what Miss Lin sent over yesterday. It is in the color that the old lady likes. I will put it on for you."
Seeing her wiping her forehead, the old lady thought about the marriage arranged by the Lin family for her grandson's daughter. She was also very troubled. Why didn't she see through the true nature of the Lin family and marry her own daughter?
Just as he was getting annoyed, Vernal Equinox came in from outside and said, "Old madam, the third girl from the Qi family is here again, chatting with madam!"
The old lady felt better after hearing this, but her mood turned bad again.
This Qi family actually got stuck together, running here every now and then, and so did the third girl from the Qi family. How could a girl's family always run to her aunt's house?
Moreover, the Qi family always kept people around until dinner time. When Brother Lang got off the Yamen, he would call him to talk to him.
"Watch! Tell Brother Lang to come directly to Shou'antang after getting off the Yamen!"
The old lady here was not in the mood to ask about Xie Songhua's affairs anymore, but Xiao Yu on the other side only entered the main courtyard after confirming that Xie Li had left, and then asked casually: "What is your natal sister doing here?"
"I said my grandmother was worried and asked her to come and see me," she said with a raised eyebrow, "The prince doesn't like it very much."
"Yeah!" Xiao Yu replied very naturally, "I don't like it. She is an unmarried girl and running around is not decent."
As he said something, he suddenly thought of something, "I don't know when I will come back. If you feel bored staying here, you can take your fifth sister over to live with you."
