Xie Yao knew that this was because the original owner had always hated Xie Lian for what happened back then, ever since he could remember, and his salutes had always been done as a courtesy, never from the bottom of his heart.
Although Xie Lian is a failed husband, he is a qualified father.
Half a step behind Xie Lian is the head mistress of the General's Mansion, his stepmother Pei.
Mr. Pei was not dressed up for the occasion today, but he was also dressed up exquisitely.
Behind Pei is Xie Zhuo. Pei’s sister is two years younger than her. Today she is dressed exquisitely, with gold and pearls all over her body.
Growing up, Xie Zhuo would fight for anything the original owner liked. Unfortunately, the original owner acted recklessly, and Xie Zhuo had Pei's guidance behind him. When the two of them fought, the original owner would usually suffer.
"Yao'er is beautiful again! Come here and let me take a closer look." Mrs. Pei's face was full of enthusiasm and she smiled like a flower. She came over and took the initiative to hold Xie Yao's hand.
Xie Yao avoided Pei's hand without leaving a trace, took something from Zi Qing's hand and handed it over, "This is for you, it has a beauty effect."
She was also talking nonsense and didn't even know what was in it.
Mrs. Pei took it with a smile, a cold look of disdain flashed in her eyes, "Yao'er is filial." It seemed that she was still fooling around like before. Someone was sent to find out the news in the past two days, saying that her temperament changed drastically on the day of her wedding.
, acting in Prince Han's Mansion is very different from before, and you really shouldn't listen to rumors.
"I thought it was a good thing, Xie Yao, you are not favored in Prince Han's Mansion, why are the things you brought back as gifts so shabby?" Xie Zhuo lowered his voice so that only Xie Yao could hear it.
Xie Yao's expression changed and she said coldly: "You are so curious about whether I will be favored in Prince Han's Mansion? Ask Prince Han and you will know the answer."
"You!" Xie Zhuo's face sank. Because Chu Han was standing aside, she didn't dare to say anything. Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for a few days, Xie Yao became very articulate!
As soon as she rolled her eyes, she immediately showed off her posture and saluted Chu Hanfu with a smile, "Xie Zhuo has met the prince. My sister is usually a bit arrogant in the General's Mansion. I hope the prince will not blame me."
Xie Yao sneered in her heart. This Xie Zhuo really used every opportunity to smear her. He glanced at Chu Han, whose face had darkened after hearing this, and said with a smile: "What the prince likes is my unique arrogance."
Chu Han's face turned cold again. He didn't want to say a word to the Xie family, and he was even more disgusted with the extremely narcissistic Xie Yao.
Xie Zhuo's face froze and she was about to say something else, but Mrs. Pei secretly pulled her, and she bit her lower lip without fighting back. Hum, let Xie Yao go today! Otherwise, she must let Xie Yao go
Embarrassed in front of King Han!
Xie Wenwu had already tied up his horse and came over to salute, "I've met my father."
Xie Lian glanced coldly and made a sound from his nose, which was regarded as an answer. Without asking, he knew that it was Xie Wenwu who saw Xie Yao being bullied and went to Prince Han's Mansion to force Chu Han to come.
He glanced at Xie Wenwu's shoulder again, with deep worry hidden in his eyes.
Xie Wenwu laughed mockingly, but remained silent and stood beside Xie Lian obediently.
"Your Majesty, dinner has been prepared. Please invite Your Majesty to come and have a meal." Xie Lian said to Chu Han.
I have to say that Xie Lian gave Chu Han a lot of face.
Considering Xie Lian's current status, even the prince would be wary of him.
But Chu Han didn't appreciate it.
"I have some important matters that I haven't dealt with yet, so I can't spend the night in the general's mansion. Thank you, general, for your forgiveness." Chu Han's cold eyes lingered, and his cold tone was repulsive.
Everyone looked at each other for a moment, but Xie Wenwu's expression immediately darkened, and he directly asked: "Is it really official business that King Han is so anxious?"
"Presumptuous!" Xie Lian glanced sideways, then turned to Chu Han, with a peaceful expression, "The prince is busy, so of course he has official business, so it's okay."
Chu Han didn't say another word, turned around and got on the carriage.
In the carriage, his eyes were so sinister that water could drip from his eyes.
Xie family! Next time I come here, I will never come as the Xie family’s son-in-law!
Then, the carriage turned around and left.
Xie Yao was happy to see the result, so he didn't speak from the beginning to the end. There was no need to pretend to be a harmonious couple in front of the Xie family and his son.
Chu Han's rejection of her was probably known to everyone in the capital, so there was no need to cover it up.
And as long as he is here, she will stay with him for food and accommodation, so why embarrass herself? It would be better to leave!
Xie Wenwu's face was extremely cold, and although the murderous aura around his body was suppressed, he could not completely suppress it.
Even Xie Yao had no doubt that if he could kill the prince, Xie Wenwu would definitely kill Chu Han under the carriage!
Xie Lian looked at the carriage that left decisively and sighed secretly, not knowing whether his original decision was right or wrong.
Mrs. Pei's peripheral vision glanced at the carriage going away, and she greeted Xie Yao more enthusiastically.
Xie Zhuo snorted, a little annoyed. She had been wearing this outfit for half an hour, and King Han didn't even look at her. It was all Xie Yao's fault!
After Chu Han left, Xie Lian called his family into the house and prepared for dinner.
"Father, you eat first, my daughter wants to visit her grandfather." Xie Yao offered.
Xie Lian was a little surprised by Xie Yao's performance for the second time tonight, but he still agreed, "Go ahead. Although your grandfather didn't show up, he still cares about you." Xie Yao once hated the two people in the house the most, and one was himself.
, one is the old man, because the old man stopped her from marrying Chu Han before, and threatened that if she married Chu Han, she would no longer be his granddaughter. I didn't expect that she would take the initiative to visit when she came back today.
Thinking about her different approach to him today, which was different from the past, I felt sour in my heart. He had really owed his daughter so much over the years.
Xie Yao nodded and got up to go.
On the way, she felt uneasy in her heart. Because when the original owner was obsessed with King Han and wanted to marry him, the person in the house who was most opposed to the matter was her grandfather.
Even when Xie Yao got married, her grandfather didn't even show his face. It is said that he became sick with anger that day.
The courtyard where Xie Yao's grandfather lived was in a corner of the General's Mansion. Although it was a bit remote, it was quieter than before.
And this place was chosen by the old man himself.
Xie Yao came outside the hospital and was stopped by the guards serving the old man just as he was about to enter the hospital.
"Princess, please stay. The old general is in poor health and has no guests." The guard's voice was loud and could be heard in the room.
"Uncle Li, is grandfather still angry with me?" Xie Yao asked quietly.
Uncle Li was his grandfather's lieutenant. He stayed with his grandfather when he was fighting on the battlefield, and he has been with his grandfather until now.
Uncle Li glanced at the room and lowered his voice: "I can't mention your name for the past two days. The old general will get angry whenever he mentions it. I have been in poor health recently..."
"Mo Li!" A loud shout suddenly came from the room, full of anger.
Li Bo trembled and stood upright in an instant: "The end will be here!"
"Keep the rest of the crowd away, I'm going to sleep!"
"Yes!" Li Li responded, and then looked at Xie Yao awkwardly, "Princess, you'd better go back and come back when the old general has calmed down a bit."
Xie Yao stood still, "Grandpa hasn't had dinner yet, has he?"
"Send off the guest!" Another shout came from the room, "Mo Li, if you don't send the guest away, I will break your legs!"
Li Qiye looked bitter and said, "Princess, you'd better go back."
Xie Yao was not embarrassed by Mo Li, knowing that it was impossible for his grandfather to let him in, "Uncle Li, please also tell me whether your grandfather has had dinner."
Although the original owner's memories about her grandfather were few, they were all very useful. For example, her grandfather loved to eat, and the delicacies she happened to make were unparalleled in the world.
"The imperial doctor came to see him and said he recommended a lighter diet. But these days he only had porridge and side dishes. The old general couldn't eat any meat, so he was so angry that he went on a hunger strike." Mo Li lowered his voice, fearing that the old general would hear.
"You just started your hunger strike today?"
"yes."
Xie Yao's lips curled up slightly, thinking that she had a solution, she turned around and told Zi Qing to prepare something.
Within a quarter of an hour, Zi Qing directed several servants to throw dry firewood and a stripped hen on the floor, "Princess, do you want a roast chicken?"
She was so aware of the princess's cooking skills that her mouth watered immediately.
Xie Yao smiled and nodded.
My grandfather’s two major hobbies in life were drinking from a large bowl and eating meat, especially roast chicken.
Since her grandfather wouldn't let her in, she had no choice but to let him out.
She understood her grandfather's desire to avoid seeing him very well. If it were her, she would probably beat her to the point where her own mother wouldn't be able to recognize him!
Seeing his granddaughter going astray as if seeking death, it would be strange not to be angry. The grandfather often scolded the original owner on weekdays, but he was sincerely doing it for the original owner's good, especially when he married King Han, he became angry on the spot! However, he was very angry on the spot.
The original owner's thoughts were all on King Han, and he didn't care about his grandfather's life or death. Even the original owner who was suffering from grandfather's qi disease breathed a sigh of relief because no one could stop him.
Now that I think about it, it’s really...the original owner did a lot of harm to people!
"This..." Li Li naturally knew the old general's preferences, but could he eat the chicken roasted by the princess?
