"Mother!" Xie Langhua was holding a lamp in his hand, wearing a moon-white dress, and his long dark hair was lifted up with only a hairpin.
The whole person looks like an immortal descended from the sky. This is her child, her pride.
At this time, she was so proud that she put the lamp aside and knelt down at the door.
"Bless mother."
How could such an invitation come from someone like this? It must be something big. Recently, this child has been valued by his father. Even if something happened, Xie Yuncang would also be informed of the inner courtyard through him.
Ms. Qi felt that her breathing had become a little difficult. She held on to Liang's mother's hand and her legs felt a little weak.
"What are you doing?"
Xie Langhua looked at his mother and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
When did my mother become so extreme and act recklessly?
Could it be that her sister's return was really so unbearable for her?
"Don't think too much, mother. Didn't mother always say she wanted to go to Jiangnan for a while? There have been a lot of worries at home recently. My son thought, why not wait until the fifth sister's marriage is over, and then accompany his mother to Jiangnan for a short stay!
"
Hearing Xie Langhua's words, Mrs. Qi's breath froze, "What did you say?! You accompany me to Jiangnan for a short stay? Where is your official status? Where is your future? Can the imperial court still wait for you to take such a vacation?"
Xie Langhua did not answer, but always had a faint smile on his face.
Seeing his reaction, Mrs. Qi understood what Xie Yuncang meant.
She let out a long sigh, "Tell me! What does he want me to do?"
This is Xie Yuncang's method, because both of them know what the other cares about most.
How could she be willing to gamble with her son's future?
But there is a word of filial piety in everything. She has no doubt that her son will obey his father's arrangement and seriously drop everything to take her to Jiangnan.
So after this day, the second wife of the Xie family became ill, and she was very ill. The Xie family invited many imperial doctors to come to the house, and they came and went several times. They all said that they had been injured in the early years, and now they are older.
If you have an attack, you must rest for a while.
For this reason, even relatives and friends who come to visit are refused to go out.
Although the Qi family was confused, they came to see Mrs. Dao Qi, who was indeed lying on the bed with a pale face, unable to say a few words and unwilling to talk more.
Since then, the Qi family has almost never stepped out of the Summer Palace.
Jiang Shuhua sent people over several times to ask questions, but was blocked outside the door. As time went by, she realized that her adoptive mother was no longer useful in the Xie family, so she gradually became too lazy to ask.
Of course, these are all things for later, but Xie Songhua felt a lot relieved after getting rid of the constant following.
Xiaoqing had already noticed that someone was watching here. Later, Jin Yiwei found out that the person was from the Xie Mansion. Thinking with her toes, she also knew that it was probably her good mother.
Others don't have that leisurely attitude. If it were the old lady and Xie Yuncang, they might have asked directly on their faces, and wouldn't have stared at them like this and for so long.
After passing this clear path, she no longer had to be so cautious, and at the same time, she could calm down the Qi family.
Xie Qionghua was really helpful.
It's just that she had to give some money to make this cousin happy. After all, it caused a lot of trouble to her.
Now that she is in good health, why would An's family be willing to let her daughter waste her youth at home, happily looking at men of the right age in the capital?
Xie Qionghua had been dragged out by his own mother for several days in a row, burned incense, went on an outing, went shopping, and listened to plays. He was so tortured that when he saw Xie Songhua again, his eyes were about to burst into flames.
What else can Xie Songhua say? I can only try to stuff as much money as possible.
Before this, she really didn't think of herself as a spendthrift.
Originally, she thought the matter would be over.
It wasn't until she came out of Xiao Yu's house next door that she saw Xie Yuncang standing in the alley.
"Father……"
Xie Yuncang raised his eyes and glanced at the house's house number, then nodded slightly, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
There were a lot of things going on today, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother were both busy. She knew that if she stayed, Jiang's mother would usually be even busier to prepare more food, so she simply said that there was something going on at the palace and went back first.
Xie Yuncang saw the answer on her face and said casually: "I haven't eaten yet, let's come together!"
After saying that, he walked in front with his hands behind his back.
Xie Songhua knew that his biological father had probably discovered the clue, so he had no choice but to follow him.
Xie Yuncang didn't have anyone with him, not even a boy. What he took Xie Songhua to was not a big restaurant, but a small noodle stall at the entrance of the alley.
Every time Xie Songhua comes in and out of this place, he can always see the couple selling noodles here. He also heard Jiang's father and Jiang's mother mention in their chat that this noodle stall tastes good.
"Here are two bowls of noodles."
Xie Songhua saw him sitting down with a normal expression, so he had no choice but to sit down with him.
The landlady had a round face, and although she was a bit old, she had a pair of crooked eyes that made people feel happy just looking at her.
It was probably obvious that the two of them were of extraordinary status, so Dang even urged his man to serve them first.
"Why did father come here?"
Xie Yuncang poured some vinegar into the bowl and stirred the noodles first, "Eat first."
He was probably really hungry, and he ate with big mouthfuls, which was very different from what we usually see when we eat together.
However, eating like this is not ugly. The rules and habits developed since childhood are ingrained in the heart and will never be completely abandoned at any time.
Xie Songhua was guessing that he probably already knew about it. At the same time, he was also guessing how he would handle this matter when he came over, so he had no appetite at all.
After eating with two chopsticks, when he saw that the other person had finished eating, he simply put down his chopsticks as well.
"When did you take it over?"
Finally getting to the point, Xie Songhua pursed his lips and revealed half of the truth, "I wasn't the one who took them over. They were brought to the capital and they were used to threaten me before I went to Dengzhou."
This answer was obviously unexpected by Xie Yuncang. She squinted her eyes and looked at her daughter in front of her, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I dare not say." Xie Songhua did not explain too much.
But the meaning of these three words is obvious. She does not trust the Xie family and does not believe that they would care about the lives of the Jiang family and his wife.
Xie Yuncang didn't ask any more questions, but nodded gently, "Then you... listened to what the other party said? Did you give false evidence about Dengzhou?"
"No!" Xie Songhua looked into his eyes and replied very sincerely, "I can't do such a thing. Fortunately, the prince was alert and did not let the other party succeed."
Xie Yuncang fell silent. He probably heard Xie Songhua mention Xiao Yu and knew that the so-called blackmail was related to Xiao Yu!
Xie Songhua secretly took a deep breath, "Father, I have no way to send them back again. Since others can use them to blackmail me for the first time, there will be a second time. Rather than sending them to a place they are unfamiliar with, I would rather
It's better to put it under my nose."
When Xie Yuncang heard this, he exposed her lie without hesitation, "This is just your excuse."
One sentence made Xie Songhua speechless. Thinking about it, how could such a simple thought be hidden from the deputy minister of the dynasty.
"You are very separated from your family now." Xie Yuncang spoke again, but completely changed the subject.
When Xie Songhua heard this, he raised his eyes and saw that his eyes that could see through the world were staring at him firmly.
