"Father, just take it literally." Xie Yu shrugged his shoulders innocently, his eyes indifferent, "You can forgive the sins committed by God, but you can't survive the sins you do yourself."
Do you really think he doesn’t know about Xie Li’s secret plot?
He didn't make it clear just because he wanted to see the attitude of his father and grandmother. Now that everything was clear, he gave up.
He couldn't understand that his good second brother, with mediocre qualifications, was favored by his father.
After being awakened by Aunt Bai, he suddenly realized that he had already fallen into a dead end without even realizing it, and there was no way around it.
Haha~, Ma's mother and son wished that he would be dead so that they could feel at ease. Here, his father was playing riddles for him, pretending to be confused while pretending to understand.
Grandma couldn't make a choice and went to the temple to pray. To put it bluntly, synthesis is not an escape. Both of them wanted him to say it was okay. It was really ridiculous.
Thinking about his father's attitude of protecting his second brother, and seeing the deep love between him and Ma's wife, he became a complete outsider. It would be false to say that he was not disappointed. As expected, he is the kind of person who has little family affection. Even if he tries hard to catch
A little more, and in the end it will be like quicksand that is tightly grasped, and not a single grain will be left.
Aunt Bai is right, some things cannot be forced.
In this case, he just needs to protect himself, so that he can comfort his mother's spirit in heaven.
Thinking of this, Xie Yu looked up at his father with a distant tone.
"Father, just go and do your work. I have Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu here to take care of you. Everything will be fine."
Magistrate Xie looked at his son's alienated eyes. For some reason, he felt panicked and felt lost. It seemed as if something had slipped away inadvertently, but he couldn't catch it for a while. He could only watch it quietly for a moment.
Sighing deeply, turned and left.
Looking at his father's leaving figure, Xie Yu narrowed his eyes fiercely and stared coldly at his figure disappearing into the yard. He slowly clenched his fists with such force that a vein bulged.
"Xiaowen, send someone to leak the news to that Wang Zheng, and tell him that County Magistrate Xie is very angry and wants to break his legs."
"Hey~," Xiao Wen's eyes lit up as he listened, and before leaving the house, he couldn't help but turn around, "Ahem~, there is something I don't know whether I should say or not?"
"Just say what you want to say."
Xie Yu looked at him coldly, so scared that Xiaowen immediately shrank his neck.
"Don't be angry, Mr. Da Lang. It's a small offense. I just want to remind Mr. Da Lang. If the master is angry and can't tolerate the eldest lady, and leaves the Xie family without the mistress to manage the inner house, will the old lady look for another solution?
Sir, will you renew your string?"
It was spread intentionally or unintentionally in the house that the old lady already knew the true identity of Erlangjun. Erlangjun and Ma's mother and son were of the same mind, and the two of them joined forces to plot against the eldest man, just to seize the family property.
The old lady is already dissatisfied with the Ma family. Although the master's current attitude is ambiguous, as long as Wang Zheng shows up from time to time, sooner or later the master will feel uneasy.
If I take the opportunity to give the eldest lady a divorce letter, she will not be able to argue. As a man, no one can endure this.
All they need to do to get Ma's divorce is a little more fire.
"The master attaches great importance to Erlangjun's affairs. It is obvious to everyone that he has been holding back. Mostly because he does not want Erlangjun to be implicated in the eldest lady's affairs and his reputation will be tarnished. If the matter escalates, the eldest lady will have no place in the Xie Mansion.
.If the master and the old lady divorce each other directly, it is still unknown whether the next one can live in peace with the husband."
"This really has to be guarded against, and it requires careful planning by Mr. Da Lang."
Hearing Xiaowen Xiaowu's reminder, Xie Yu was stunned, and then couldn't help laughing.
"You kid is thinking very far. My stepmother is very capable. If she can avoid this disaster, I will naturally think highly of her. From now on, we will never touch the river again."
"If you can't avoid it, the consequences can be imagined. As for my father, it will be difficult to continue."
Losing two wives in a row, in the eyes of the world, no matter how powerful a person is, he will not be able to resist the suspicion of being a wife-suppressant. Anyone who truly loves and cares for his daughter will definitely not be willing to marry his daughter into the family.
"Our Xie family is not suitable to have a mistress at the moment." Xie Yu slightly bent his lips. When he passed the exam and became a candidate, the marriage should be put on the agenda.
Didn't my father just say that he is the future head of the family, the head of the Xie family, and his wife is the most suitable mistress of the Xie family.
As for the candidate to be the mistress of the house, he doesn't have a goal yet, so he has to plan carefully to choose one that suits him.
Because of the good relationship between the two people, he never wanted the couple to be inseparable, but at least they could respect each other as guests and raise eyebrows together. Only by having someone to help him take care of the inner house, he would have no worries.
Bai Yunxi didn't know what happened in the Xie Mansion, so he didn't bother to inquire anymore. After packing his things, he checked out of the room and went home in a carriage.
After being out for so long, she really missed her best friend and eldest granddaughter. She didn't know how these people were doing at home or if anyone was causing trouble.
When Xie Yu sent someone to look for someone in Zaoshu Hutong the next day, Baiyunxi and his party had already arrived home.
"Grandma, you are finally back. Yaya misses you so much." As she spoke, the little girl threw herself into Baiyunxi's arms and rubbed her shoulder affectionately.
"So good, grandma misses you too. In order to come back early, your Aunt Wen almost let the horse fly. Wait for grandma to clean up and get Yaya a gift."
The little girl listened, her eyes shining like stars in the night sky. Every time grandma went to the county town, she would come back with gifts.
"I'll help grandma clean up."
The little girl followed Bai Yunxi diligently and was so busy that Du Shi felt sour in her heart. As soon as she entered the door, her daughter said hello to her and kept surrounding her mother-in-law. She was as hard-working as a little bee.
Not to mention, this girl is a bit of a flatterer, and she coaxes her mother-in-law into smiling from ear to ear.
"When grandma was not at home, my aunt and I took care of my second aunt until she became fat. The baby in her belly also grew up, making her belly round."
While Bai Yunxi was washing herself, she listened to the little girl talking in her ear. She kept talking incessantly, with such a posture that she would not stop until she finished talking about what happened around her.
"Really? That's great. Grandma knows that she will do a good job in leaving the house to you two."
After washing up, Bai Yunxi changed into light home clothes, put the purchased gadgets on the small table, and sorted them one by one.
"I bought these in the county town in my spare time. Everyone can take one. It's up to you to wear it or not."
Bai Yunxi knew that since Mrs. Li became pregnant with the baby, she had been bent on saving the betrothal gift and dowry for the baby. She heard from her daughter that she had a dowry box.
"Mom, the things in the county town are more beautiful than those in the town. No wonder the landlords and squires want to go to the county town." Mrs. Li stroked her belly, looked at the jewelry and cloth on display, and stretched out her hand to touch them with a smile.
