90. Chapter 90(1/2)
After leaving Chongzheng Hall, Xie Hui was not interested in political affairs and immediately returned home.
Xiao Yuan walked with him, and Xie Hui ignored him coldly.
My father-in-law would definitely not be relieved in a short period of time. Xiao Yuan followed him tactfully and quietly. When he arrived at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, he performed a sincere marriage for the onlookers. He did not force him to enter and left quickly.
Xie Hui heard the manager say that his wife was in his daughter's yard, so he walked over directly.
In the little girl's boudoir, Xie Lanyin was talking to her mother.
The mother and daughter are in love, and all the decisions of their daughter Jiang can understand. She just feels distressed and is a little worried. She touches the head of the daughter in her arms and sighs: "Lan Yin, mom knows that you both have each other in your heart, but you are different from him. Once you go, you will have no way out. He will change his mind in the future and can take a concubine again. You are the concubine of the Royal Jade Die. You can't even leave the house with Li. Do you really believe him?"
Jiang knew how much her daughter liked Xiao Yuan. She knew that she knew that if her daughter married, as long as Xiao Yuan did not change her mind, her daughter would definitely live a very sweet life in private. The girl lost her heart and thought about staying together forever. She could not change her daughter's love, and could only remind her of the difficulties she might encounter in the future.
Xie Lanyin felt sorry for her parents. She just cried, her eyes were red and her voice was hoarse. She had no shame to hide in her mother's warm arms like a person. "Mom, I thought he had really given up before, so I promised to marry someone else. Now I know that he has never given up, and I really can't leave him behind...Mom, I can't guarantee that he will remain unchanged, but if I don't gamble, I will live with others for the rest of my wishes. At least I am satisfied now and can be with the person I like. Mom, do you understand what I mean?"
How could Jiang not understand?
When her husband asked for marriage, her sister-in-law was worried that she would be bullied by Chen and advised her to think twice. She didn't think so much at the time and wanted to stay with her husband.
When men ask for marriage, they will make a promise, and any promise must be witnessed for a lifetime. However, it is only a few years, months or even days for girls to decide whether to get married. So which girl is not a gamble to get married?
She has been married to Xie Hui for almost twenty years, so she should have won.
She sincerely hopes that her daughter can win. Even if she loses, her daughter will still have her, and she will always be her retreat.
He lowered his head and kissed his daughter's soft and smooth hair. Jiang's voice was extremely gentle, "Lan Yin doesn't cry, follow his heart. Mom stands on your side, and Mom will always protect you."
My mother didn't let her cry, but Xie Lanyin cried so hard.
It was precisely because she knew that her mother would agree that she felt more and more guilty. Since childhood, her mother has always said that she was the most obedient among the three sisters, but now her marriage is the most worrying about her mother.
"mother……"
"Madam, girl, the prince is here."
The parrot was whispering outside, and he was a little scared.
Thinking of the anger that his father might have, Xie Lanyin shivered uncontrollably. His father was too cold, and Xie Lanyin had never begged her father like she was acting coquettishly with her mother. Now she wants to regret the marriage and make her father lose trust. His father...
"Don't be afraid, there's a mother." Jiang patted his daughter's shoulder and looked at the door indifferently.
Xie Lanyin didn't have the confidence of her mother, so she turned her head slightly and looked over timidly.
So Xie Hui came in with a calm face and saw the mother and mother sitting on the bed. His wife was as calm as water. His daughter looked at him pitifully, as if she had done something wrong, afraid of being punished by him.
She was obviously bullied, what's there to be afraid of?
Unless it is...
Thinking of the old love between her daughter and that person, Xie Hui felt a bad premonition in her heart, stared at her daughter and asked, "Have you promised him?"
Xiao Yuan kidnapped his daughter all the way and must have coaxed her with sweet words.
Concerned about the maid outside, Xie Hui's voice was extremely low, but he was not angry and powerful. Xie Lanyin was already guilty, so of course he was even more afraid.
He looked up at his mother first, and received his silent encouragement. Xie Lanyin nodded timidly, and tears rolled down his watery peach blossom eyes, "Dad, I really like him, please help us..."
He started crying again as he said that.
Xie Huixin was about to break. She was completely lost because of her daughter being fooled by others. She was even more worried about her father but she failed to stop the villain's plot. She seemed to be even more afraid of her daughter. What are you afraid of? No matter how angry he is, she is still angry with Xiao Yuan. Will he beat and scold her daughter?
Seeing his daughter hiding in her mother's arms in fear, his wife glared at him with dissatisfaction, Xie Hui suddenly felt wronged.
Not knowing what to say, Xie Hui sat on the chair at the table, lowering his eyes and silently.
Her husband became a dull man again. Jiang was so angry that he hugged his daughter and asked him, "You are talking, what did the emperor say?"
As soon as these words were said, Xie Lanyin stopped crying. Although her face was still buried in her mother's arms, her ears stood up and she was waiting nervously.
The little girl is not a rabbit, so her ears will certainly not really stand up. Xie Hui saw it for some reason. Her anger towards Xiao Yuan had already turned into depression after realizing the attitude of his wife and daughter. She was in a bad mood and of course she could not hear her voice. "The emperor punished him to stay in the door for three months and then hold another wedding after the New Year."
There were only a few words in one sentence. He didn't know whether he was interested or because he was unwilling to say it intermittently. Xie Lanyin's heart also fell into the quagmire and was suddenly pulled out of the clouds again.
The emperor agreed!
His plan succeeded!
She can really be with him!
Her heart was overjoyed, and Xie Lanyin didn't dare to sit upright, for fear that her father would see her happiness, but she couldn't vent her joy, so she could only hug her mother tightly, hug her tightly, and laugh and cry.
With her daughter so entangled, Jiang patted her shoulder with a funny look and looked at her husband's cold face that was wronged. Jiang decided to compensate her husband well in the evening and first ask her husband about the incident.
She asked, and Xie Hui answered, dry, it was another kind of irritation.
After hearing this, Jiang praised sincerely: "Yuan Qi has guessed the emperor's heart."
His wife actually praised the bastard, and Xie Hui could no longer sit still, and suddenly stood up, leaving with a strode like the wind.
Xie Lanyin was startled and raised her head in horror.
"It's okay, your father is Qi Yuanqi, so he can't bear to get angry with you. Mom goes to persuade him and discuss how to explain to the Guo family later. Lan Yin goes to wash her face first, and don't cry anymore!"
Worried that her husband would be so angry, Jiang hurriedly told his daughter to chase her husband.
Xie Lanyin was also successfully distracted by her mother's words.
Yes, she and Xiao Yuan had to get what they wanted. What should Guo Cheng do?
~
On the other side, Jiang chased her husband's study and walked inside. He found that the door inside was actually closed. Thinking that her husband clearly saw her following behind, Jiang was also a little angry, but the little anger disappeared instantly when she slapped the door hard and the door panel opened as soon as she pushed it.
It turned out to be just a vain.
Mrs. Jiang walked in with a smile.
Xie Hui stood in front of the window with his back facing her, with a cold face on his face.
"If I hadn't been alone back then, my brother and sister-in-law would not agree with me marrying you from afar." He hugged her husband's narrow waist from behind, and Jiang leaned against his broad back and spoke gently, "Mingtang, our Lanyin is not stupid. If Yuan Qi was not sincere, she wouldn't marry."
"You change your words quickly." Xie Hui said coldly.
Only then did Jiang realize that her husband was jealous of his son-in-law.
"It's not easy for him to go to this day, so don't bother with him," Jiang turned to her husband, leaned against the windowsill, and held his hands with both hands. "No matter what, he saved Lan Yin's life. Without him, our Lan Yin would have been killed."
Xie Hui was still looking out the window, "Who knows if it was someone he sent that time?"
"What are you talking nonsense?" The man was chaotic. Jiang let go of his hand unhappily and stared at him, "Who do you think Yuan Qi is? At that time, he had a good impression of Lan Yin at most and didn't want to marry her. Because something happened to you, we went to Xi'an to get together. If you really blame him, it would be better to blame yourself for leaving us three women and so long!"
The anger and angry suddenly changed, and Jiang was about to leave with a pale face.
"Su Ying..." Xie Hui pulled his wife into his arms helplessly, pressed her down and sighed: "Forget it, the imperial edict has been issued, it's useless if I don't agree, but you must not give him a good face in the future. If we show the desire to love the house and the miserable, the emperor will definitely think too much, and instead cause trouble for his daughter."
"I know, Yuan Qi also told Lan Yin this way." Jiang leaned obediently in her husband's arms and discussed with him the next thing, "The Guo family..."
"Mr. Guo is a smart person and can understand our hardships. In the afternoon, I personally went to return the gifts they gave before and would not interact with each other in the future." Xie Hui returned and had already thought about what he should plan. From today on, the Xie family not only had to keep a distance from the Qin royal family, but also pretended to be rebellious with the Guo family so that they would not provoke the emperor's suspicion.
What could Jiang say, but he only sighed.
My father calmed down, Xie Lanyin was half hearted, and the other half was only Guo Cheng left.
As a result, before Xie Hui left the house, news came from outside. Guo Cheng ran to Qin's palace for a big fuss. He was punched by the guards beside the King of Qin and vomited blood. He was forced into the carriage by the Guo family who arrived in time. In the afternoon, Xie Hui went to apologize and was turned away by the Guo family. Only the gifts given by the Guo family they brought were carried in.
The Guo and Xie families became enemies.
At least that's true in the eyes of outsiders.
Xie Lanyin was not worried about the elders of the Guo family. Those people were smart and knew how to act so that they would not get involved in this muddy water. She was only worried that Guo Cheng, who had to act, would be punched by Xiao Yuan, who had to act, and was afraid that he would not recover from now on.
Half a month after the marriage was given, Xie Lanyin learned through Xie Lanyue that Guo Cheng was coming, and was in the third room, wanting to see her.
Xie Lanyin did not hesitate at all and led the parrot to pretend to visit Xie Lanyue.
She owes Guo Cheng what she wants, and she avoids seeing her, and she is uneasy.
With Xie Lanyue and Xie Jinnan's help, Xie Lanyin soon met Guo Cheng, who had been in Xie Lanyue's study, who was dressed in women's clothing and then regained his men's clothing. The 17-year-old boy was much taller than last time, but he was thinner, which made people feel distressed.
"Lanyin, let's go privately!" As soon as we met, Guo Cheng rushed over.
Xie Lanyin was originally very guilty, but when she heard this, she was startled and suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Although Guo Cheng is two years older than her, he is actually more like a child. It is precisely because he is like a child that after a brief period of anger and reluctance, he is more likely to come out.
"Stop talking nonsense, you know I won't agree."
Avoiding Guo Cheng's hand, Xie Lanyin took two steps to the side, and took the lead before Guo Cheng continued to talk nonsense: "Second Young Master, you are the grandson of Shangshu. Although I look down on your people, I am very satisfied with your identity and am willing to marry you as the granddaughter-in-law of Shangshu's family. The King of Qin robbed people halfway. I thought of showing my ambition by death, but it was not for keeping my integrity for you, but for the reputation of the Xie family. Later, the emperor gave me a marriage, and I had no way to retreat. Either go to Faning Temple to become a monk or be a concubine of the King of Qin, but these have nothing to do with you. If the marriage fails, I am sorry for you. You forget me, don't act impulsively, and make me become a topic of conversation for the people after dinner. Now I just want this matter to be settled soon, and no one will remember me anymore."
For the sake of the career of his relatives, Xie Lanyin could not tell Guo Cheng that she was already in love with Xiao Yuan, so she could only say this.
Guo Cheng stared at the girl in front of him in a daze.
Forced to be a concubine, he thought that she would feel wronged and sad, so after half a month of confinement, he rushed over to see her immediately, but he never thought that she had promised the marriage to be just looking at her grandfather's official title...
"I don't believe it..."
"Then please think about it carefully. When did I show my love for you during the few times we met?"
Xie Lanyin turned around and looked straight into his eyes and said, with a calm face, without any nostalgia for his ex-fiance.
Guo Cheng looked at her peach blossom eyes intently. After several attempts to speak, his eyes dimmed.
Xie Lanyin couldn't bear it, but she had to be cruel. She was acting and sincerely advised: "Second Young Master, you and I met each other, which is also a fate. I hope you will continue to study hard and get an official position through your own real skills. I also wish you a good girl who loves each other in the future, a girl who promised to marry you just because of someone who likes you."
