Xie Songhua looked at her appearance of being strong on the outside and being strong on the inside, and thought it was ridiculous. Then he started talking to Aunt Lan next to him, talking about trivial things in the house.
Acting like a spectator from beginning to end.
This attitude made Mrs. Qi even more dissatisfied, and she said immediately: "Look at me, I forgot for a moment, isn't there Princess Chen here?
Our second son is also Princess Chen’s uncle after all. People all over the capital are asking about her, and I don’t believe anyone dares to accuse Prince Chen.”
Not to mention Xie Songhua, even the Xie family members looked shocked.
This is so good, so she brought an uncle to her? This is a flying uncle!
Xie Songhua nodded and said, "Mrs. Qi is right in saying that, but this uncle of mine..."
Halfway through her words, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "I haven't even seen what it looks like!"
The Qi family has been in the capital for a few months. It stands to reason that when they come back to settle down, they have to inform their relatives and friends. It is best to invite everyone to join in the fun.
And since she was already married, she naturally had to go to Prince Chen's Mansion to get the news.
But now, Xie Songhua only sees the Qi family in the Xie family's place.
The Qi family's family tree was laid out in a big way, and he was placed in the position of an elder, waiting for Xie Songhua to come over and pay his respects.
Naturally, she pretended not to see it.
Even from top to bottom of the Qi family, no one had formally met her.
Take the visit to Xiangshan Temple as an example. It was probably the first time that Xie Songhua met his grandmother and two uncles in a serious way.
Logically speaking, even if she is not prepared, she should be given a meeting gift as a junior.
But the Qi family is so arrogant, as if there is no such thing.
It's simply ridiculous that I'm still thinking about getting relatives now.
Mrs. Xie also snorted coldly when she heard this: "That's right. I'm talking about the in-laws. You and your family have been in Beijing for so long. Have you not yet sent a letter to the palace? I am afraid that my granddaughter will not even send a letter to your Qi family."
You don’t even know which way the door opens, right?”
Mrs. Qi's face turned red and white after being told this, but she still suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and said with a smile: "Didn't I just come back and it's a mess? I haven't had time to inform you yet!
But this relative is a relative, and there is nothing wrong with being connected by blood. Her uncle had been talking about it before, and now that she has a niece who has become a princess, she really shines on her family."
I didn't expect that Mrs. Qi is really a capable person who can bend and stretch. She didn't even hide her disgusted expression before, but now she can actually praise her again.
"You don't dare to take it seriously. What kind of blood is there? Isn't Mrs. Qi's granddaughter working as a Baolin in the East Palace? That's what brings glory to the family."
"That's right!" Mrs. Xie immediately responded, "Jiang Baolin even took out the things from Sizhen's house and gave them to your Qi family. This shows that he sincerely regards your Qi family as his maternal grandfather's family.
It's just that the emperor's imperial edict made it clear earlier that Jiang Baolin is just the adopted daughter of our family, but our Xie family dare not reach out to her. However, Jiang Baolin has been close to the Qi family since childhood. Your family does not recognize us three girls.
Jiang Baolin is also understandable."
Before anyone else could say anything, Mrs. Qi turned pale and said, "Mother! Shu'er..."
Mrs. Xie's eyes fell heavily on her, leaving her speechless.
Even though she was unhappy in her heart, her son's words made it very clear last time, telling her not to associate with Jiang Baolin anymore.
This was the first time that her son talked to her like this, and Mrs. Xie felt very uncomfortable.
But her son is now the mainstay of the family, and she can't let him go.
Now I might as well take this opportunity to explain things clearly.
Mrs. Qi was so angry that a mouthful of blood was stuck in her throat. After a while, she looked at Xie Songhua with a sneer, "So, the princess is actually going to die without saving her biological uncle?"
"Mrs. Qi's words are wrong," Xie Songhua shook his head gently, "This matter has been reported to the government. The right and wrong will naturally be decided by the government. Daqi has Daqi's laws. How can I, a housewife, get involved in this matter?"
Into something like this."
"The prince is in charge of the Jinyiwei. No one in the world knows what kind of virtue the Jinyiwei has, but you are here to lecture me on the law?"
"Crack!"
After hearing this, Xie Songhua slammed the table and stood up immediately.
There was no trace of smile on that delicate little face at this time, "Mrs. Qi is dissatisfied with the Jinyiwei? If you think that the Jinyiwei does not respect my Daqi laws, please go directly to the Dali Temple Metropolitan Procuratorate to lodge a complaint.
Just tell the king, why do you need to say these words in front of me?
I am not the commander of Jin Yiwei, and I have no position to defend Jin Yiwei, but I can pass a message on behalf of Mrs. Qi. I believe that Jin Yiwei will be interested in explaining it to Mrs. Qi after listening to it."
"you……"
Mrs. Qi finally couldn't help it, "What's your attitude?! How dare you speak to your elders like this!"
Xie Songhua looked at Mrs. Qi coldly, "What? My wife thinks my attitude is wrong? Do I really want to fight for Jin Yiwei's reputation?"
Or do I really think that a housewife who ignores the law, goes for a human relationship, and disregards human life, am I going to cover up for this kind of uncle?"
Mrs. Xie immediately said: "Good boy, it's okay. Nothing in this world can be escaped from a rationale. People like us cherish feathers the most. How can we do such things as bullying and concealment?
?”
Mrs. Qi slowly regained her breath, and turned to her daughter behind her: "Well, some people are not born close to each other even if they are flesh and blood. You don't have to worry too much. Although your eldest brother has just been transferred to Beijing.
, but where the official body is, I have to ask him to walk around in person."
After hearing this, Mrs. Xie's face became even more ugly.
The co-author originally planned to let his granddaughter smooth the relationship for her, but his precious son hid quietly in the back and didn't want to get involved?
Just as he was talking, people who had gone outside came back one after another.
When they saw that their eldest son came with Xie Langhua and several younger members of the Qi family, all of them looked unhappy, and everyone present felt a "thump" in their hearts.
"How's it going? What's going on now?" Madam Qi couldn't sit still and immediately grabbed her eldest son's arm and dragged him over.
Mr. Qi is now a third-rank minister. His expression at this moment has actually revealed some problems.
After all, he still remembered the etiquette, so Mr. Qi first saluted Mrs. Xie, and then saluted Xie Songhua.
Xie Songhua just nodded in agreement and had no intention of recognizing him as his uncle and nephew.
"I'm afraid things won't be easy to handle this time."
"Who is the other party?" Mrs. Xie knew the key here upon hearing this.
"You are now a dignified minister of the third rank. Can't you even cover me? Where can there be such a stupid young man who doesn't understand the world? Which yamen did you report to?"
Mr. Zhao glanced at his mother, and then sighed helplessly, "It's the Zhao family."
Just these four words made Mrs. Qi speechless immediately, and she couldn't say another word for a long time.
If it were another family, with the Qi family, the East Palace, and the Xie family or even the Chen Palace, they would be able to cover it up to some extent.
But now...
It’s the Zhao family...
It was the Queen, the Crown Princess's mother's family, her maternal relatives, and it was the big ship they had just managed to bind.
