Xie Jun was scolded so badly by his own father that he was filled with grievances.
"How can this be all my fault?"
Xie Jun had no choice but to defend: "Back then, the Prince of Huainan invited me to be a guest in his mansion. Princess Yongning and I met by chance and were shocked. Later, the Prince of Huainan wanted to recruit me as his son-in-law, and I naturally agreed in my heart."
"I never expected that Princess Yongning would be naturally fond of women. She chose me as a princess because the Xie family has no power and is easy to manipulate."
"The Huainan Prince's Palace is powerful, and I want to take advantage of it, so I have to endure it. Otherwise, if we really fall out, I won't get any benefit at all."
"Over the years, I have been able to maintain my position as Minister of Honglu Temple, have a place among the officials in Beijing, be valued by my superiors, and chat and laugh with my colleagues, mostly because of my father-in-law and uncle behind me."
"I can't bear it, what else can I do? I don't dare or don't want to divorce my wife! Fake couples are also husband and wife, and outsiders don't know about it anyway!"
In front of his biological father, Xie Jun made his selfish thoughts clear and clear, without any concealment.
Old Master Xie pouted at him: "Who asked you to divorce your wife! The princess of the royal palace married you. This is the virtue accumulated by the Xie family's ancestors! You must never divorce your wife! Let alone fall out with the princess!"
"However, you are so useless! Even if the princess likes women, with your talent, beauty and diligence, you should impress the princess and make her fall in love with you."
Mr. Xie looked angry and angry: "Why have you kept this matter hidden for so many years? What kind of face do you need in front of me? If you had told me earlier, I could always come up with some ideas for you. There would be no trouble.
To this point today.”
Xie Jun looked ashamed of "I'm useless": "My son is really shameless to say that."
He finally married a noble daughter-in-law, but she liked women and refused to sleep with him. Such an embarrassing thing was really difficult to say even to his own father!
…
There was silence in the study for a moment.
Mr. Xie frowned and broke the silence: "What's going on with Ming Niang and Yun Niang?"
Xie Jun had no choice but to tell the story about taking the exam from beginning to end.
Mr. Xie became angry again and said loudly: "This Princess Yongning is really vicious! Fortunately, God has eyes and did not let her scheme succeed."
Xie Jun also looked happy: "Yes! Fortunately, Ming Niang is blessed by God!"
Mr. Xie has lived for most of his life and disagrees with the saying "The sky has eyes".
Adhering to the principle of "seeing the results in everything without scrutinizing the process", Mr. Xie, like Xie Jun, decisively chose to side with Xie Mingxi: "Mingniang inherited your talent for reading and passed the Lianchi exam as the first place.
Academy, and became a disciple of the Queen. The future will be limitless!"
"From now on, in everything you do, stay close to Ming Niang first!"
"As for Yun Niang, leave it to Princess Yongning. Since she recognizes this daughter, she will never let her go."
Xie Jun nodded repeatedly: "My son thinks so too. My father's words have reached my heart. Ming Niang is smart and filial. If she has a future, my biological father will definitely be able to take advantage of her. Maybe, the Xie family
The hope of shining the family all falls on Ming Niang."
Mr. Xie agreed with his face: "This makes sense."
"Ming Niang has outstanding appearance and unparalleled intelligence. If she can enter the palace or marry a prince in the future, she will bring countless benefits to the Xie family."
How else can we say they are biological father and son?
Mr. Xie's thoughts are exactly the same as Xie Jun's.
…
Xie Jun continued to nod, but accidentally missed the truth: "Actually, it was Ming Niang's idea to let you come to the capital."
Mr. Xie: "..."
Mr. Xie threw the inkstone over with a dark face.
I'll smash you to death, you heartless thing! I lived a prosperous and prosperous life in the capital, but I didn't even think about bringing my biological father to the capital!
Xie Jun knew that he was in the wrong and had suffered the inkstone all his life. He endured the pain and stepped forward to accompany him: "Father, please calm down. It's not that the son is unfilial. It's just that as soon as his father comes, his mother and second brother will follow him to the capital..."
Mr. Xie was still angry and glared at Xie Jun coldly: "In that case, just send us back to Lin'an."
"How can this be done?" Xie Jun said immediately: "Father can live in the capital with peace of mind."
Mr. Xie's expression softened and he sighed: "Mr. Xu really can't get on the stage. If it weren't for the sake of livelihood, I would never marry such a woman. Divorcing my wife now at this age will cause rumors. It will also bring about the old things.
They will all be mentioned again.”
"Otherwise, how could I have tolerated her for so many years!"
"After a while, I will find a reason to send her back to Lin'an with her children and grandchildren, so as not to be an eyesore here."
Unexpectedly, Xie Jun said: "The princess has been living in the princess's mansion, and there is no one who can really take charge of the affairs in the Xie's mansion. It is really inappropriate. Let mother stay!"
Mr. Xie: "..."
Mr. Xie was stunned for only a moment, but he quickly came to his senses, narrowed his eyes and whispered, "What are you going to ask Mr. Xu to do?"
When father and son talk, there is no need to be secretive.
Xie Jun frankly stated his plan: "The princess has all the eyes and ears in the Xie Mansion. Just in case, it is better to clean up the inner residence of the Xie Mansion. Hanxiang is a concubine after all, and the name is not justified. The mother is the elder.
, it’s natural to take charge of the inner house. Even if my father-in-law and uncle know about it, they won’t be able to say anything more.”
That's a good idea!
Mr. Xie thought for a moment and then said: "You don't have to interfere in this matter. I will talk to Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu is rough and fierce, so it is appropriate for her to do this kind of thing."
Xie Jun hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "I'm just worried that she will take advantage of the opportunity to open her mouth and be greedy."
Mr. Xie snorted coldly: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, she won't cause trouble! It doesn't hurt to give her some small profits. If she is too greedy, I will give her a divorce note and send her back to Lin'an!"
…
The next day, early in the morning.
"My granddaughter has met her grandfather and her grandmother."
Xie Mingxi saluted with graceful grace.
Xie Yuanting bowed.
The etiquette course at the New Confucian Academy is also very strict. Xie Yuanting studied it for two years and made no mistakes in his etiquette. However, it lacked a little respect that a junior should have for their elders, and it was not so pleasing to the eye.
Mr. Xie was very unhappy and the smile on his face faded.
Xie Jun glanced at Xie Yuanting angrily.
Xie Yuanting suddenly felt his scalp tightening and he didn't dare to make any more mistakes. He bowed honestly and stood aside.
Aunt Ding finally showed her face today, standing behind Xie Jun, looking at Xie Yuanting with concern. Then, she looked at Xie Mingxi with resentment.
It’s all Xie Mingxi’s fault!
As soon as Mr. Xie came, Mrs. Xu also came!
In the past, she was in charge of the trivial affairs of the house. Now that Mrs. Xu is here, it will never be her turn!
It is said that a daughter is her mother's caring little cotton-padded jacket. The daughter who used to be obedient and well-behaved has now become a thorn in her heart.
