"Dad, perhaps the Prime Minister's Mansion is currently in a troubled time, so people's hearts are agitated. Since the master has already spoken those words, it must have had a certain impact on the servants in the manor."
Xia Chiwan then knelt down in front of Xia Boran, and Xia Lixi naturally had to kneel down too.
For a moment, only Xia Boran, the master, was still standing. The other slaves in the room were nowhere to be seen.
"In order to reassure people, why not let me go to the nunnery to copy scriptures and recite Buddhist scriptures. If my daughter remembers correctly, the old lady's death is coming soon, so I used this excuse to send my sister out, and no one else will.
What could be the misunderstanding?”
It is true that the law of heaven is clear and retribution is not good. Just now Xia Boran wanted to send Xia Chiwan away for this reason. Now this job has fallen to Xia Furong again.
"I dont go!"
When Xia Furong heard that she was going to be sent to a nunnery to suffer hardships, of course she was not willing.
This time, Aunt Qiu did not stop Xia Furong, because Aunt Qiu was not happy either. After all, the person she wanted to send away was Xia Chiwan.
"Dad, in the direction pointed by the Taoist priest, although I live with my sister, why am I the only one going there? Does my sister really dare to be so sure that my second brother's illness has nothing to do with you?!"
Xia Furong was also sure that the Taoist priest did not explain clearly what was right and wrong, and they were left to make up their own minds.
"Dad, my daughter is willing."
Xia Furong pointed the finger at Xia Chiwan, but Xia Chiwan accepted it calmly and expressed her willingness to go to the nunnery.
"When the old lady was alive, she was very kind to her father and daughter. Now that the old lady is pregnant, copying sutras and chanting Buddhist scriptures for the old lady is what the younger generation should do."
Xia Chiwan never mentioned that he went to the nunnery to avoid being punished. He only said that he went to the nunnery to fulfill his filial piety.
Xia Boran looked at Xia Chiwan with ambivalence. Originally, his daughter had always been dull, just like Yun Qiandu. She had her own pride and would not express her thoughts even if she had them.
Unexpectedly, Wan'er's every move today was so close to his heart.
After hearing Xia Chiwan's words, Aunt Qiu and Xia Furong had the same thought in their minds, that is, they would definitely lose today.
Xia Furong froze there, with tears in her eyes. She didn't accept Xia Chiwan's words, nor did she not accept them.
After comparing the two daughters, Xia Boran made a decision in his mind.
"Although the old lady's birth is coming soon, Fu'er can go alone. As for Wan'er, Aunt Qiu will not take care of the affairs of the prime minister's house from now on, and someone must take care of it. You are the only direct descendant of the original Xiang. From then on,
From today onwards, you will be in charge of the Prime Minister’s Mansion.”
Xia Chiwan is his legitimate daughter, and the person she marries in the future will definitely be either rich or noble.
Therefore, as a mistress, Xia Chiwan must learn how to take care of herself. It is better to start with the Prime Minister's Mansion and let Wan'er practice her skills.
"Yes, Dad." Faced with Xia Boran's words, Xia Chiwan did not refute at all.
Xia Chiwan did not expect that Xia Boran would leave the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion to him.
It is true that Xia Chiwan wants to evade Aunt Qiu, and it is also true that he wants to deal with Xia Furong, but it is a good thing that the matter of managing the prime minister's house falls into his own hands.
"Okay, you two go down and prepare things." Xia Boran flicked his sleeves and turned away Aunt Qiu and Xia Furong.
Seeing that Xia Boran had made up his mind, Xia Furong gritted her teeth and left with Aunt Qiu.
