At around the time of the appointment, Mrs. Chen finally waited for Xie Wu.
Yang personally sent her over, and Xie Yuan also followed.
Chen's excitement was written on her face, but she had to restrain herself because Yang was still there.
"Brother and sister, thank you so much for these years." Mrs. Chen looked at Ms. Yang sincerely and said.
Yang lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, then turned around and took Xie Wu's hand and said with heartbroken eyes, "No need to say thank you, as long as it's for Sister Wu's good, I'll be willing to do anything."
Seeing Yang's reluctance to give up, Chen felt guilty and pulled the handkerchief in her hand, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Fortunately, Yang was not prepared to embarrass her.
She explained Xie Wu's habits and preferences to Mrs. Chen one by one, detailing what colors Xie Wu liked and what dishes and desserts she liked to eat.
Wu likes the Chen family. Comparing the two, she would be so trusting and close to the Yang family in her previous life, so it is not so traceable.
In order to make good use of her chess piece, Yang worked hard.
"Sister-in-law, Sister Wu will be entrusted to you from now on." Yang solemnly handed Xie Wu's hand to Chen with red eyes.
"Yes, brothers and sisters, don't worry, I will treat Sister Wu well." Mrs. Chen hurriedly agreed, not noticing anything inappropriate in Yang's words.
How can any aunt in this world ask her own mother to take care of her daughter?
If this spreads out, Yang's reputation as a virtuous and virtuous person will naturally rise to another level, and Chen...
Xie Wu frowned slightly, then she raised her head and took Yang's hand and said, "Second aunt, don't worry, I am my mother's biological daughter, how could she treat me so slowly?" After that, she turned her head and looked towards me.
Mrs. Chen looked over and said, "Mother, right."
"Yes, yes, brothers and sisters, don't worry, Ah Wu is my biological daughter, how could I treat her badly." Seeing Xie Wu looking towards her, Chen assured her again and again.
She is a mother and daughter who are biologically related, so it is not her turn to be an aunt.
Yang's heart tightened slightly, and she subconsciously looked towards Xie Wu. Seeing that her clear eyes were full of dependence, with a hint of pretentious strength, she felt a subtle sigh of relief.
Perhaps Xie Wu's sudden appearance at Ronghuayuan today made her worry.
Although she was raised to be arrogant and sensitive, those things belonged to Chen, and she had always been extremely trusting and dependent on her.
"Sister-in-law, don't be offended. I also care about Sister Wu, that's why I said such words." Yang looked at Chen with a smile and said.
"No, no, I know that my sister-in-law has been doing my best for Sister Wu these years. If my sister-in-law is of any use to me in the future, just let me know." Mrs. Chen looked at Ms. Yang sincerely and said.
Yang smiled and nodded, then stood up and said goodbye to Chen.
"Ah Wu, please listen to your mother carefully from now on. Second Aunt knows that you have always been a well-behaved and considerate child." At the end of the day, Yang was still worried and took Xie Wu's hand and told her softly.
"Yes." Xie Wu lowered her head and responded in a low voice.
"Sister, you must remember to come to Tinglan Courtyard often to play with me!" Xie Yuan also pulled Xie Wu's sleeve and said with red eyes.
Xie Wu smiled and nodded towards her again.
After seeing off Mrs. Yang and her daughter, Xie Wu followed Ms. Chen back to the flower hall and sat down again.
Looking at Xie Wu's pretty face, Mrs. Chen rubbed her palms. The words came to her lips several times but she couldn't help but swallow them back.
"Why don't you see father and A Xu?" Xie Wu spoke first.
"Your father went to the study with your second uncle and hasn't come back yet. A Xu must be tired and is falling asleep in the back... Otherwise, I'll wake A Xu up." Mrs. Chen stood up as she spoke.
Got up.
"No, let him sleep." Xie Wu stopped Chen.
"Okay, I'll have someone bring him over when he wakes up." Mrs. Chen sat back down again.
Xie Wu nodded, reached out to pick up the tea cup, and took a sip of tea casually.
Xie Feng must have been looking for his father because of his transfer back to the capital.
Two months ago, Li Siming, the minister of the Ministry of War, caused a storm in the city because his mother abused his daughter-in-law and she committed suicide. Emperor Zhengxuan was furious and immediately dismissed him from office and demoted him to Bashu.
Naturally, the post of Minister of War became vacant.
The prince's line and the King of Qi's line fought like black-eyed chickens for this position, and no one was willing to give up this piece of fat to the other.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Emperor Zhengxuan suddenly summoned Xie Zheng back from Ningxia with an imperial edict.
Although it was not explicitly stated in the imperial edict, everyone knew that the position of Minister of War would most likely fall to Xie Zheng.
For a time, both the prince's family and the Qi King's family all turned their attention to the Marquis of Wu'an.
As for her good second uncle, all the officials were blamed for the incident. She remembered that in the last life, he ostensibly surrendered to the King of Qi, but in fact...
Thinking of this, Xie Wu's eyes turned slightly cold.
"Ah Wu, I...I..." Seeing that Xie Wu kept her eyes down and said nothing, and her expression was a little deserted, Mrs. Chen was at a loss for a moment. She opened her mouth and tried to break the silence in the room, but she really didn't know what to do.
say something.
Over the years, mother and daughter have become very estranged from each other.
"What does mother want to say to me?" Xie Wu also knew this, so she tried to soften her tone.
She didn't want her relationship with Chen to be as tense as in her previous life, and she didn't want people to use this to sow discord and cause trouble.
There is no expected indifference, and it can even be called gentle.
For the first time, Mrs. Chen didn't feel resistance or indifference from her daughter, and she just called her mother.
Chen's eyes were red with excitement.
Xie Wu couldn't help but smile softly, and was about to say something when she heard the voice of the maid outside.
"My slave, please pay your respects to the Crown Prince."
Xie Wu quickly stood up.
The door creaked open, and then the heavy curtain was lifted up, and Xie Zheng walked in with a lift of his feet.
Mrs. Chen hurriedly greeted him, took off the cloak on Xie Zheng's body and handed the cloak to the maid's hand, while saying, "Why are you back now? Ah Wu has been here for a while."
"Talked to my second brother for a while." Xie Zheng said lightly, then raised his eyes and looked at Xie Wu beside him.
"Father." Xie Wu bowed her head and blessed him solemnly.
Xie Zheng nodded, "Just come back. Your mother often talked about you when she was in Ningxia."
Xie Wu lowered her eyes slightly and whispered, "I have been looking forward to the return of my father and mother in the Marquis."
Looking at the supple and well-behaved Xie Wu, Xie Zheng couldn't help but reach out and caress the top of her head, "Awu, I have wronged you all these years."
"Will father be going out soon?" Xie Wu looked up at Xie Zheng and said suddenly.
Xie Zheng was startled, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he still smiled and said, "Why would Ah Wu say that?"
Xie Wu smiled faintly, "I also know that my second uncle must have made an appointment with my father to go to Guangju Building for a drink with him." At this point, Xie Wu paused, then suppressed the smile on her lips and raised her eyes.
Looking into Xie Zheng's eyes, he said solemnly, "My grandfather should have told my father when he entered the capital."
