Chapter 42 Trivial Matters
"Mother, please listen to me..."
Xie Xuchuan hurriedly grabbed Hua Nanzhi's hand, but was pushed away.
The outcome of the Xie family's discussion surprised not only Xie Xuchuan, but also Xie Jingyuan and Jiang Hong.
However, everyone is not stupid, and after a little thought, they realized that this was the best solution.
Jiang Hong frowned. Although it wasn't in his plan, it wouldn't be a loss to use a concubine's daughter to marry into the Xie family's eldest branch of the family.
After a moment's thought, he agreed: "Thank you for your kindness, Madam. The wedding date is tight, so let's not waste any more time. My Jiang family is waiting for you to come and propose marriage."
"Mother, I disagree. Actually, Wansu is pregnant..."
In the midst of the chaos, Xie Xuchuan had just opened his mouth when he heard Zitang exclaim, "Miss, Miss, are you alright?"
Xie Xuchuan turned around and saw that Jiang Wansu had already fainted on the ground.
"Wansu...Where is the doctor? Go find the doctor."
The room was in complete chaos. Xie Xuchuan and Jiang Hong were both flustered and had no mind to talk about anything else.
Taking advantage of the chaos, the doctor and Cui Cheng ran in from outside the door.
Upon seeing Cui Cheng, Xie Xuchuan felt a chill run down his spine, a cold sensation rising from his back to the soles of his feet.
He panicked and took a few steps back.
Because Jiang Wansu's pregnancy was not going well and there were signs of miscarriage, Hua Nanzhi took it upon herself to leave her in the Xie family.
Jiang Hong didn't care much about his children; he just shoved them a few times and left.
After settling Jiang Wansu in, Xie Xuchuan wanted to go find Xie Sanniang, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Zitang kneeling in front of him.
"Young Master Xie, please save my young lady. Master now knows that she is pregnant. If she cannot find a place to stay in the Xie family, she will surely die."
"You've known this young lady for a long time. Please, please, give her a way to live."
"I……"
Xie Xuchuan pursed his lips, then thought of Cui Cheng waiting at Yujintang.
My desire to find my grandmother vanished almost entirely.
He sat slumped on the embroidered chair in the room. In just a few days, the once spirited young master of the Xie family had suddenly lost all his vigor.
The Xie family had been lively all day, so Xie Qi was in a good mood and ate quite a lot during the meal, which was unusual for him.
Wei Hu helped him clear away the dishes and sat down on a small stool with a smile: "Master, is it possible that our Nine Colors Residence will have a new mistress soon?"
Xie Qi was playing with the green bamboo wolf hair brush in his hand when he heard this and said casually, "There's still one step left. Go and send a message to Granny Zhang and tell her to sabotage the Shen family's deal with Xie Jingyuan."
Granny Zhang was originally a trusted servant of Xie San Niang, but she was not as favored as Granny Li and was suppressed by Granny Li in every way. The two fought fiercely, which gave Xie Qi an opportunity to take advantage of them over the years.
Although Granny Zhang was greedy, she was one of the few people Xie Qi could rely on.
Wei Hu nodded, pocketed a silver note, and hurried off to find Granny Zhang.
Reaching out to smooth the paper in front of him, Xie Qi raised his hand and wrote the three characters "Chen Yuan Zhu".
Just before he was about to put down his pen, he suddenly loosened his grip, leaving a thick ink stain on the paper that covered up the three characters.
Xie Qi reached out and crumpled the paper in front of him into a ball, then threw it into the brazier, burning it to ashes.
Whether his marriage to Shen Yuanzhu will succeed, and whether he will be able to obtain the "Shen Family Dyeing Manual" that Xie Sanniang longs for, all depends on what Granny Zhang does today.
With a thud, Xie Qi dropped the green bamboo wolf-hair brush into the white jade brush washer and lowered his eyes to await news.
Incense smoke curled around Su Xue Zhai. Xie San Niang fiddled with the prayer beads in her hand, but her mind was far from calm.
Seeing this, Granny Zhang, who was massaging Xie San Niang's back, spoke softly, "Madam, this old servant has a few words to say, but I don't know if I should..."
