Just as Xie Wu expected, after receiving the news that Xie Zheng was returning home, Xie Feng immediately took leave from the peak and rushed home in spite of the snowy wind.
He originally wanted to find time to find Xie Zheng again. After all, it was much different for him to explain this matter to Xie Zheng personally than for Xie Zheng to know it himself, or to hear it from Xie Wu's mouth.
But he has been too busy recently. It is almost the end of the year, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs is full of performance appraisals for officials from various provinces and ministries. He really can't move his feet, so he has to have people keep an eye on the big house to prevent him from running to thank him before him.
What did Zheng say?
At the moment, there is obviously no movement in the main room, why did Xie Zheng get the news so quickly? Moreover, even if he heard rumors from outside, the most popular rumor outside was that Master Jue Yuan had approved a good life for Xie Wu.
Ordinarily, even if he heard it, he would only be happy, but he hurried home in such a hurry, as if he knew something inside?
But although Taoist Ma was convicted of defrauding the Hou Mansion of money, Xie Wu was not involved at all at the beginning. How did Xie Zheng know this? Could it be that Xie Wu had avoided him without knowing it?
His eyeliner delivered a letter to Xie Zheng?
I don’t know if my mother can handle it.
When he thought of the old lady, Xie Zheng couldn't help but think of what Yang said to him - of course my mother was close to you in the past, but since my uncle came back to take over the post of deputy general Zuo Yiwei, my mother's heart has gone astray! Otherwise, she would
Instead of picking on my faults again and again to protect the big house like now, you have seen how my mother hated my sister-in-law before, but now, she actually wants to hand over the power of the middle-income family to me.
To my sister-in-law...
In that situation, Yang said these words with the intention of escaping his accusation, but he couldn't help but feel wary.
It is true that the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, but the flesh can also be divided into thick and thin. In the past, he thought that he was the thicker one. After all, compared to Xie Zheng, who was not around all the time, and who made his own decisions, disobeyed the old lady and married a merchant girl.
The eldest son, it is obvious that he, the youngest son who has been in his lap since childhood, wins the old lady's heart more, but now...
In the end, the old lady disappointed Xie Feng.
Grandma Li looked at Xie Zheng's gray face and the corners of her mouth that were pursed into a straight line, and she couldn't help but twitch the corners of her eyes.
After standing at the door for an unknown amount of time, Xie Feng finally spoke, with the gloom and coldness on his face dissipating a lot, "Is this my eldest brother?"
"The prince returned to Cuizhuyuan after leaving the old lady's place." Aunt Li said cautiously. It wasn't that she wanted to alienate the mother-son relationship between the old lady and the second master. It was just that at this time, if there was no old lady standing in front of her,
, I’m afraid the madam alone won’t be able to withstand the second master’s anger.
Moreover, there was no hope that this matter could be hidden from the Crown Prince.
Not to mention that the eldest girl is too smart, even if she is stupid, it is impossible not to complain to her father.
Since sooner or later it can't be concealed, we can only count on the second master to help the madam block it. Otherwise, if the prince insists on seeking justice for the eldest girl, what should the madam do?
Xie Feng gave Granny Li a cold look.
He and Ms. Yang have been married for more than ten years. He knows what Mr. Yang's temperament is and how deep it is. The basin of dirty water poured on Xie Wu this time is considered very meticulous. If it weren't for Xie Wu, she wouldn't know.
What method was used to invite Master Jueyuan, so she could not cleanse her reputation of being possessed by evil spirits, and such a method was definitely not something that Yang could come up with.
Xie Feng's sight of Nanny Li made cold sweat break out on her back, but she was used to big scenes, so she straightened her back and let Xie Feng look at her, without showing any clues on her face.
"I used to think that grandma is cautious and meticulous in dealing with things, and it is difficult to take on big responsibilities. There are some things that madam can't understand, but grandma, you have to figure it out for her and be considerate!" Xie Feng looked at Li with an expressionless face.
Mammy said in a cold voice, "Sister Wu has been raised in Tinglan Courtyard since she was a child. Even if she returns to Cuizhu Courtyard, she is still my biological niece. How come you are allowed to make things difficult for her like this!"
He didn't believe in evil spirits, nor did he believe what Yang said about Xie Wu now focusing on the big house!
It's true that people can change, but after all, Xie Wu was raised in Tinglan Courtyard, and the estrangement between her and her eldest brother cannot be resolved overnight. Even if she gets closer to her eldest brother, it doesn't mean that she will break up with her second brother!
Moreover, at this time, the second wife should have been more interested in her, but Mrs. Yang stupidly attacked her instead, but Grandma Li didn't stop her yet!
What a good chess piece Xie Wu was! If used properly, it would be the deepest and most painful knife inserted into the handle, but now it was completely destroyed by this stupid woman Yang!
It would have been fine if their movements had been cleaner, but they were stupid enough to leave traces and even let Xie Wu turn over an entire army!
When he thought of this, Xie Feng cursed Yang countless times in his heart!
"Master, this servant didn't think carefully!" After catching a glimpse of Senhan in Xie Feng's eyes and hearing his words, in the blink of an eye, Granny Li immediately understood his plan and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
The eldest girl was too powerful. In just a short period of time, the madam suffered losses one after another at her hands. The madam was so angry that she didn't think deeply about it for a while. She only thought about the eldest girl favoring the eldest family.
She is so evil that she wants to give her some color...
Seeing Aunt Li kneeling in the snow with cold sweat dripping from her forehead, Xie Feng knew that she had realized what he meant, and his expression softened a little.
"Okay, let's go back and take care of my wife."
"Yes, Master." Aunt Li kowtowed to Xie Feng respectfully, then got up from the ground and left respectfully.
No matter what, now that things have happened, he can only try his best to make up for Yang, who made her his wife. However, he must also give Mother Li a good beating. Doing this kind of stupid thing once is enough.
Well, if there is a second time...
Xie Feng's eyes flashed again and again, and finally he took a deep breath and finally walked towards the Cuizhu Courtyard where Xie Zheng was.
And Xie Zheng had already placed wine waiting for him in the Cuizhu Courtyard.
"Sit down." Xie Zheng's face was calm, showing no trace of happiness or anger.
Xie Feng looked at several dishes of exquisite side dishes placed on the table. They were all put in copper basins and simmered on the stove. The oil inside was sizzling by the fire, and the room was filled with the rich fragrance of the dishes.
.
"Okay!" Xie Feng smiled, took off the crane cloak in his hand and handed it to the maid aside, then sat on the chair with a calm expression.
Now that Xie Zheng has settled the game, he has nothing to hide from. What's more, he also wants to see what kind of game Xie Zheng has laid out?
"Speaking of which, we brothers haven't had a drink like this for many years. The last time seemed to be..."
"It's time for my eldest brother to come back to celebrate my mother's birthday." Xie Feng took Xie Zheng's words with a smile, raised his hand to pick up the wine pot and poured wine for him.
"Second brother, you have such a good memory." Xie Zheng smiled, then raised the wine glass towards Xie Feng, "Come on, second brother, let's have a drink first."
Xie Feng smiled calmly, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Xie Zheng, "Brother, I'd like to toast you this glass of wine first." After that, he raised his head and drank all the wine.
Seeing this, Xie Zheng also smiled and drank all the wine in the glass.
Xie Feng poured another glass of wine for Xie Zheng and himself, and they both drank it down. Then, Xie Feng poured another glass of wine, but this time he did not clink glasses with Xie Zheng. Instead, he stood up and faced Xie Zheng with his glass.
Zheng bowed his head and said, "Brother, this glass of wine is for me to apologize to you..."
