"We didn't even see the eldest princess, so we were just standing in the concierge. An's eyes were red and swollen, which showed that she was crying hard. Now facing her mother-in-law, she became even more uncontrollable."
My daughter-in-law has never suffered such grievances since she was a child. Those concierges looked at us with a condescending air..."
She was still crying, but the old lady was already impatient, "Don't talk about these things for now, this is the eldest princess's mansion! Now we are in the wrong, and it is normal for others not to give us face."
Now it was Xie Changqing who spoke, "The eldest princess asked someone to send a message, saying that the young prince broke his leg and wanted to go to Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to sue our family."
"This matter hasn't been reported to the palace yet. If the Holy One finds out about it, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..." An said and started crying again, and immediately dragged her son to fight, "You evil obstacle!
You..."
"Oh! Mother, just complain and make a noise about this matter. I would like to see how eccentric the Holy One can be. What happened last night was watched by so many people! He is a small county prince, Shanghua
If someone goes to bully a little girl, will his face look better if word spreads? Will the Holy Master’s face look better?"
"you……"
The old lady was so angry at his appearance that she immediately asked: "Since you are back like this, the eldest princess's mansion is not necessarily going to arrest you and report you to the official, right?"
The question got to the point. Xie Yuncang, who had been silent since the beginning and seemed not to be in the room, also turned his attention.
The three members of the family were silent. An quickly turned her eyes to her husband, with no intention of speaking first.
Just when Xie Wenhua was about to open his mouth, Xie Changqing stopped him, "We talked a lot at the door, and the concierge's attitude was still tough, but..."
He paused and said, "Just when we were about to leave, a steward from the inner court came and said that if it was the little prince, if he wanted the eldest princess's mansion not to pursue the case, then let us four girls go to the eldest princess's mansion to give him
The little prince is here to serve you."
"What?!"
Everyone in the room was shocked. No one expected that the princess's mansion would come up with such conditions.
In fact, everyone was mentally prepared just now. After all, the current situation is that the Xie family has ignored it. The original dispute between the two families seems to have reached a turning point at this time.
Therefore, although it was not stated explicitly, everyone was already thinking about the possibility of Xie Songhua's marriage to the young prince.
No one thought that the little prince's request would be so rude.
"Too much bullying!" Xie Wenyuan's voice came from the door. She was only wearing homely clothes, with a somewhat ugly expression on her face. She held the maid's hand and came in. While helping Xie Changqing, she asked anxiously, "Brother
, you won’t agree to it, will you?!”
Xie Changqing quickly said: "How is this possible? How could I agree to such a thing?"
Xie Wenyuan quickly looked at the old lady, "Mom, if the fourth girl is asked to go to the eldest princess's house to serve the little prince, the fourth girl will not be able to marry in the future, and she will have to be given to the little prince..."
There is no need to say more about what follows.
In this era, servants are personal property.
As for Xie Songhua, as an unmarried woman, she went to the eldest princess's mansion to serve the little prince, which meant she was doing the job of a little maid.
In fact, everyone knows what this means.
Even if she is innocent, even if she is still free, even if she is even the eldest lady of the Xie family.
But in the eyes of others, she is no different from the concubine of a small county prince.
She thought of Aunt Zhao's words, and Xie Songhua felt the blood surge in her chest. If she hadn't endured it, she would have really cursed.
The room was completely silent. Except for a few people, everyone looked at Xie Songhua with worry and sympathy.
Xie Wenyuan couldn't help but panicked, "Mom! You...what are you thinking about?"
The old lady seemed to be brought back to her senses by her words. She waved her hands with a tired look on her face, "You all should go back! Now that the situation is like this, we should discuss what to do."
Xie Songhua didn't say a word, but quietly took a step back and saluted the elders.
Just as he was about to leave, his hand was pinched hard, and he turned to meet Xie Tu's eyes.
Xie Songhua wanted to smile and comfort her, but he tried his best but still couldn't do it.
She almost ran out of the door of Shou'an Hall, and then walked faster and faster, not even caring about the calls of Xie Sihua and Lin Ruoxi behind her.
Walk faster, then walk faster.
It seemed that this way he could exhale the heavy air accumulated in his chest and get rid of the suffocation that was about to drown him.
"Xiao Si!"
But she was still caught up by someone. Xie Wenhua was a practicing practitioner himself, so it was easy to catch up with her.
He pulled her and forced her to stop.
The brother and sister stood face to face, but neither of them spoke first.
After all, Xie Wenhua's face still showed some apology, "I'm sorry, but don't worry, one person does things and one person is responsible. I won't agree to his conditions. If you want to sue me, just sue him. I won't make it easy for him."
"Is this what Big Brother did?" Xie Songhua couldn't help asking. After asking, he felt a little regretful. He quickly took two deep breaths to calm himself down. Before he could react, he asked again, "Brother, he went because of me.
Is it right to provoke him?"
She looked at Xie Wenhua steadily, not giving him a chance to dodge.
Facing her look like this, Xie Wenhua found that the deception tricks he had always liked seemed inconvenient to use.
He wanted to deny it, but Xie Songhua's eyes seemed to tell him that she had clearly seen through everything.
He could only shrug helplessly, "I admit that I didn't think carefully..."
"Okay!" After all, it was the expected answer, but the anger in Xie Songhua's heart had faded a lot. When she looked up at the face in front of her, she could only helplessly twitch her lips, "Still...thank you, brother."
.”
"you……"
Xie Songhua showed a not-so-pretty smile, "At least, eldest brother really cares about me, even if he doesn't use it in a very appropriate way."
Xie Wenhua thought for a while, then stretched out his hand to rub the top of her head, "Do you believe it, brother?"
Asking this question made Xie Songhua's heart tighten, "What do you mean?"
Xie Wenhua suddenly approached her, "Do you think the eldest brother is a reckless person?"
She wanted to nod, but Xie Wenhua didn't give him a chance. He directly pressed her head and shook it, "I know that in your heart, the eldest brother is the most perfect. There are some things that you cannot let the elders know, otherwise you have to give them to her no matter what.
They're causing trouble."
"So..." Xie Songhua looked at him dubiously, "Brother, do you still have a backup plan?"
"That's natural!" Xie Wenhua nodded without hesitation, "Just wait! Soon I will call the little prince and eat back what he said!"
He was clearly full of confidence, and from the few times they had met, Xie Songhua had to admit that although his cousin looked a bit unsmart, in fact he didn't seem to be that unreliable.
spectrum person.
Maybe...she could try trusting him for once?
But this time, Xie Songhua soon discovered that his choice was wrong.
Because as soon as Xie Wenhua separated from her, Xie Changqing directly captured him and tied him up at home.
It was really a mess, and there were two servants nearby who took turns watching, and even the convenience of eating was done by others.
In this way, all his plans, needless to say, all came to nothing.
As a result, Xie Songhua had to become nervous. After the Xie family left, what would Shouantang's decision be?
