Chapter 168 The Concubine Invites
Xie Jing left the Yongyi Marquis Mansion at the beginning of the Mao hour. It was Xie Rongying who sent someone to the Xie family to ask Xie Lin to come and pick him up.
When leaving the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion, Xie Jing looked pale and covered in cold sweat. Xie Lin then realized that Xie Jing's whole body was hot and he was obviously frightened.
Xie Lin also learned about the situation from Xie Rongying. After hearing this, Xie Lin sighed and told Xie Rongying that he would go back to the Xie Mansion to see Old Madam Xie after dawn.
After Xie Lin took Xie Jing away, the servants in the Yongyi Marquis's mansion also began to get busy one after another.
A night of rain seemed to have washed away many things that could not be retained yesterday.
At three quarters past the hour of Mao, the rain stopped.
The entire city of Bianjing was shrouded in a thin mist, making it hazy.
Linfeng Garden.
When Shangguan Yao woke up, she saw Qin Junyi sitting in front of the bed with a bad look on his face. She slowly sat up.
Seeing that Qin Junyi hadn't noticed she was awake, she called out, "Junyi?"
Qin Junyi came back to his senses and saw Shangguan Yao wake up. He reached out his hand to Shangguan Yao's forehead and said, "The fever is gone."
"What's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?" Shangguan Yao asked.
Qin Junyi felt a chill in his heart when he thought of how Xie Rongying had chopped off that woman's head so neatly. He warned, "Yao'er, stop staring at Xie Rongying. You are no match for her."
"Why?" Shangguan Yao frowned. "My brother is still in the hands of King Wei, so why can't I keep an eye on her? Didn't Xie Jing come? Did he take Feng Qing away with him?"
Qin Junyi shook his head: "Okay, don't ask anymore. Just listen to me this time. The Xie family's caravan will be leaving Bianjing in the next two days. I want to take you away from Bianjing."
Shangguan Yao looked at Qin Junyi's expression and knew that Xie Jing did not take away Feng Qing.
It seems that this time Xie Rongying not only suppressed Xie Jing's thoughts, but also frightened Qin Junyi.
——
At the beginning of the Chen period, I went to Xie’s house.
When Xie Rongying came back and arrived at Old Madam Xie's yard, Old Madam Xie was having breakfast.
After Xie Rongying paid her respects, Mother Sun brought more bowls and chopsticks and had dinner with Old Madam Xie.
After about three quarters of an hour, the dishes were cleared away.
Old Madam Xie glanced at Xie Rongying and said, "Didn't you go to see your father?"
"No." Xie Rongying picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then held the teacup with both hands, with no intention of putting it down.
"Your second uncle told me." Old Madam Xie withdrew her gaze from Xie Rongying: "You did the right thing, Rong'er."
Xie Rongying was not surprised by her grandmother's reaction. She knew that if her grandmother had been there last night, she would have killed Feng Qing instead of following her father's wishes.
"But from now on, there should be a gap between you and your father." Old Madam Xie sighed softly, "Because your father is the eldest son of your grandfather and me, he has received much more love and care than your uncles. Therefore, he is a bit more arrogant and self-righteous than his brothers and sisters."
"As long as it's something your father has determined, no one can change it. He believes that the woman in the brothel is of the Feng family's bloodline, so she is of the Feng family's bloodline."
Xie Rongying chuckled softly: "So what if he's of the Feng family's bloodline? Just kill him. No one else can touch my Xie family."
After hearing this, Mrs. Xie couldn't help but look at Xie Rongying.
I don't know when, but this eldest granddaughter started to look a bit old-fashioned.
Madam Xie frowned: "Rong'er."
Xie Rongying raised her eyes and looked at Old Madam Xie, then nodded.
Old Madam Xie seemed to be dazzled. The person looking at her was clearly a young lady. How could she be compared with a sixty-year-old woman like her?
"I'll come and persuade your father," said Mrs. Xie.
Xie Rongying said, "Grandma, some family matters should be handed over to Xie Ting. You should also talk to Second Uncle about this matter. Father's weaknesses are too easy for others to exploit. It's better for him to stay out of the family affairs."
How could Mrs. Xie not understand what Xie Rongying meant?
Isn't it just to undermine Xie Jing's real power in the Xie Mansion?
"Fourth Uncle's life is at stake at the border. Father was nearly put on the spot in Bian Jing because someone exploited his weakness. The Xie family is now the key to providing food, herbs, and even military rations to the border. If something happens to the Xie family at this critical juncture, the court will be unable to supply the border with so many herbs and food. How will Fourth Uncle, a member of the Xie family, cope with the situation in the army?" Xie Rongying said with disdain in her eyes. "A man named Feng shows up at this time. Father is truly foolish!"
"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Old Madam Xie sighed, "Grandmother will keep an eye on your father's side, and nothing like this will happen again."
Xie Rongying stared at Old Madam Xie without blinking.
Madam Xie added, "Ting'er has long been involved in family affairs. Don't worry, your father will definitely not interfere in the affairs of the Xie family."
Hearing this, Xie Rongying felt relieved. "Will Second Uncle also follow the Xie family's caravan to the border?"
"I won't go with you." Madam Xie smiled a little more when she mentioned her second son. "Your second uncle has shown up in Longxi before. He will return to Chenjun after the caravan leaves Bianjing."
"Are Second Aunt and my brothers and sisters all right?" Xie Rongying asked with a raised eyebrow.
She felt very upset that Xie Lin was being targeted by the Shangguan family. Based on what she knew about the Shangguan family, she could also judge that Shangguan Yan was not a pushover.
If it was because of her previous suspicion that her second uncle came forward and was finally targeted by the Shangguan family, it would be a deliberate revenge.
She will never feel at ease in her life.
"Grandmother, now that Father has been through this, you should persuade Second Uncle and Second Aunt to come to Bianjing. Fourth Uncle is at the border, and Xie Ting is not home every day. I feel more at ease with Second Uncle and Second Aunt at home."
Madam Xie nodded: "I thought so too. Your second uncle said he would consider it."
Xie Rongying felt relieved. She looked at the sky and thought of the fake Shangguan Yao in the Yongyi Marquis's mansion, so she stood up and said, "Grandma, I still have some things to deal with in the mansion, so I'll go back first."
"Okay." Madam Xie looked at Mother Sun and said, "See the young lady off."
Mother Sun bowed and said, "Yes."
After leaving Shi'an Hall, Mother Sun and Xie Rongying talked about how Xie Jing had hired a doctor after returning to the mansion, and also asked the young master to ask for leave on Xie Jing's behalf.
Xie Rongying asked Mother Sun to tell Xie Ting to give Xie Jing more leave.
Mother Sun nodded in agreement.
While talking, they arrived at the gate.
"Miss, I will send you here." Mother Sun said respectfully.
Xie Rongying nodded: "You can go back."
Xie Rongying didn't turn around until Mother Sun turned around and walked into the mansion.
Cuizhi supported Xie Rongying and walked towards the carriage, but at this time, a servant dressed as a palace eunuch appeared from the side of the lion in front of the mansion.
"Young Madam, please stay."
Xie Rongying looked over when she heard the voice and frowned when she saw that the person was dressed as someone from the palace.
"Her Majesty the Consort invites you."
