It had only been more than half an hour since he returned to Xie's Mansion when King Huainan sent a message. It could be seen that King Huainan was always keeping an eye on what was going on in the Princess's Mansion.
The King of Huainan will definitely ask him about his attack on Yongning County.
What explanation should he give?
Aunt Ding only has small calculations, and when faced with such things, she is even more confused and can only wipe her tears.
Xie Yuanting wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth with his hand, and looked at Xie Mingxi with disdain and ridicule: "Grandpa personally summoned you. Let me see how you explain to grandpa!"
Xie Mingxi looked calm: "What my brother said is really ridiculous. From beginning to end, I did nothing wrong. Why should I explain to my grandfather?"
Xie Yuanting continued to sneer: "It's useless to talk in front of me! I want to see how you are going to escape from the palace today!"
And the father who beat his aunt-in-law! He must have shed a layer of skin today!
There was resentment in Xie Yuanting's eyes.
With a glance, Xie Mingxi clearly saw Xie Yuanting's vague gloating over his misfortune, and he casually raised the corner of his mouth.
Huainan Prince's Mansion is a sea of swords and fire, and she wants to have a try today.
"Father, grandpa can't wait for anyone, so we'll go now." Xie Mingxi reminded.
The powerful King of Huainan certainly had no patience to wait for anyone.
Xie Jun was of course familiar with the Huainan King's temperament. He took a deep breath, composed himself and said: "Qingshan, prepare your car immediately."
Xie Qingshan retreated in response.
Aunt Ding wiped her tears with her sleeves and advised with her red and swollen eyes: "When you meet the prince, you must not be impulsive. Even if you suffer some idleness, you must be patient."
nonsense!
Do you still need to say it?
I have endured it for more than ten years!
Xie Jun snorted angrily: "You can stay in the house with peace of mind." From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Xie Yuanting, whose face was red and swollen, and became more and more troubled: "Find some wound medicine and apply it to Yuanting."
After speaking, his tone slowed down: "Ming Niang, you don't have to be afraid, I will protect you."
Of course Xie Mingxi would not take Xie Jun's words to heart.
Xie Jun's shield could only block Princess Yongning once at most. But it was not enough in front of the scheming King Huainan.
Once the future comes to a close, her "intelligent and filial" daughter will definitely be left aside.
"Thank you, father." Xie Mingxi adheres to the principle of deceiving as much as possible, with admiration and dependence in her eyes: "I know that my father will definitely protect me safe and sound, so I am not afraid at all."
Xie Jun: "..."
What should I do if I'm a little scared?
…
Xie Mingxi left with Xie Jun.
Aunt Ding quickly wiped her tears and said with a humble face: "Yuan Ting, your face is almost swollen. Can I apply medicine for you?" Lest Xie Yuanting refused, she immediately said: "You have to go to the academy tomorrow, your face is so swollen."
You must not leave even the slightest mark."
This is true.
Xie Yuanting said nothing and acquiesced to Aunt Ding's approach.
Aunt Ding was overjoyed and ordered people to bring the medicine.
Xie Yuanting was taken away when she was born and has been raised by Princess Yongning ever since. She can only be seen twice a month. Xie Yuanting will only pay attention to her when she is in a good mood. Otherwise, he rarely looks at her seriously.
It's unprecedented to be so close like this.
Aunt Ding carefully applied medicine to Xie Yuanting's face, her eyes red with joy.
How great it would be if I could be by my son's side every day!
Xie Yuanting's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He said abruptly: "Three sisters won the first place in the exam, and will definitely shine when they enter the Lotus Pond Academy."
Unlike him, who worked hard to get into the New Confucian College, his academic performance was never outstanding.
Xie Mingxi's talent for reading is really enviable.
As soon as Aunt Ding heard this, she knew that Xie Yuanting was being petty, and immediately said: "No matter how good she is at studying, she will have to get married and have children in the future. The only one I can rely on is you."
Then he said softly: "Yuan Ting, in my mother's heart, you are the most important thing."
Xie Yuanting had been eating and drinking all day, and he was in a very depressed mood. Being held by Aunt Ding like this, he felt a little better. He glanced at the loving Aunt Ding and said, "You are a concubine, how can you call yourself your mother at will?"
! Let others hear me, where should I put my face?"
Aunt Ding was not annoyed and immediately changed her words according to his wishes: "Yes, yes, it's all because of my poor thinking. Don't be angry."
Then, he personally brought tea.
Xie Yuanting took the tea as a matter of course. After drinking it, he frowned in disgust: "What kind of tea is this? It doesn't taste good!"
Xie Yuanting was willing to pay attention, which made Aunt Ding extremely happy. No matter what he said, Aunt Ding would always obey: "I will immediately send someone to buy some good Biluochun."
"Yuan Ting, how many nights do you want to stay in Xie's Mansion?"
Xie Yuanting snorted: "If you don't stay here, why don't you go back to the Princess's Mansion!"
Princess Yongning was angry, so he would not be so stupid as to move forward.
…
An hour later.
Huainan Prince's Mansion, outer study room.
Xie Jun has been waiting outside for half an hour.
It was already past lunch time, and Xie Jun was already hungry after a long morning of hard work. Unfortunately, the King of Huainan neither called him in nor ordered anyone to prepare meals.
It was clear that he deliberately starved their father and daughter...
"The dim sum at my grandpa's house is exquisite and delicious. Father, would you like to try one?" Xie Mingxi, who had eaten half a plate of dim sum and drank two cups of tea, raised her head with a smile.
So, in fact, he is the only one who is hungry!
Xie Jun twitched the corner of his mouth: "No need!"
Xie Mingxi didn't try to persuade her. She said "oh" and took another piece and put it in her mouth.
Xie Jun: "..."
The majestic Huainan Prince's Mansion naturally had many good cooks. The snacks used to entertain guests could barely be eaten. Xie Mingxi ate a few pieces in succession to fill her stomach, and then she stopped with satisfaction.
Compared to Xie Jun, who looked solemn and restless, Xie Mingxi looked particularly calm and composed.
Xie Jun finally couldn't help but asked: "Ming Niang, there are no outsiders here, please tell me the truth. What did you do to the signature on the test paper?"
Xie Mingxi pretended to sigh helplessly: "Is it possible that even my father doesn't believe me? I did sign my second sister's name."
Xie Jun was 80% convinced.
The princess of Yongning acted very carefully. Since she spent a lot of money to bribe the imperial concubine, she must have confirmed her signature.
What went wrong?
Could it be that there really is a god who can hold his head high?
Xie Jun felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.
Xie Mingxi added at the right time: "I guess God has eyes and cannot bear to see such injustice."
Xie Jun suddenly felt a chill on his back.
At this moment, the door to the upper study room opened. King Huainan walked out surrounded by several aides. The Crown Prince of Huainan followed closely behind.
Xie Jun reflexively stood up and held his hands in his hands with a smile: "My son-in-law has met my father-in-law and my uncle."
As a man who lives a soft life, he must bend his back and bow his head against his powerful father-in-law and uncle, and endure what ordinary people cannot tolerate.
It can be called bearing the burden of humiliation!
