Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters father and son
Xie Jun has been busy taking care of Enke's affairs recently and often returns home at midnight.
Today, Xie Yuanting and his wife were summoned to the palace for an audience. Xie Jun was worried all day long, fearing that Xie Yuanting would cause trouble in the palace. He and Mr. Xie had surprisingly similar thoughts.
It doesn't matter whether Xie Yuanting lives or dies, he must not drag down Queen Xie in the palace.
Xie Jun politely declined the banquet invited by his colleagues and hurried back to Xie's mansion as soon as the office was dismissed.
Mrs. Xu came forward with a strange look on her face.
Xie Jun's heart skipped a beat and asked in a low voice: "Why does mother look uneasy? Could it be that Yuan Ting is causing trouble?"
Mrs. Xu coughed and replied vaguely: "No big trouble was caused. The couple came back safely. They just said some offensive words and were hit with a cane by the old man..."
Xie Jun immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that I didn't cause any trouble."
As for being on crutches, it's really nothing.
Mrs. Xu coughed again and lowered her voice: "My granddaughter-in-law also beat him up."
Xie Jun didn't take it seriously anymore and said casually: "Just beat him up! It's commendable that Mr. Sun can control Yuanting."
Mrs. Xu coughed again: "I invited the doctor to come into the house."
Xie Jun: "..."
It seems that the beating was not light! Otherwise, with Xu's hatred for Xie Yuanting, she would never have asked the doctor.
Xie Jun thought for a while and then said: "I'm going to Fanying Pavilion to see Yuanting." After a moment of pause, he warned again: "Don't tell Aunt Ding about this."
Mrs. Xu nodded in agreement.
After Aunt Ding entered the palace and returned home that day, she still stayed in Lanxiang Courtyard honestly. Even when Xie Yuanting returned to Beijing, she did not come out in a fuss. However, Xie Yuanting took the initiative to enter Lanxiang Courtyard, and mother and son hugged each other and cried for a long time.
.
Seeing that Aunt Ding was showing signs of being transformed, at this time, she had to hide the fact that Xie Yuanting was beaten and injured.
Without waiting for Xie Jun to ask again, Mrs. Xu quickly told Xie Yuanting and his wife about their trip to the palace.
…
Fanying Pavilion.
As soon as Xie Jun stepped into Fanying Pavilion, he smelled a strong bitter medicinal smell.
Taking a closer look, he saw Mrs. Sun squatting under the eaves of the corridor, brewing the medicine herself. Mrs. Sun was so focused on brewing the medicine that she didn't even hear the footsteps.
The maid waiting on the side quickly reminded in a low voice: "Young mistress, the master is here."
Ms. Sun was startled and quickly stood up to salute: "My daughter-in-law has met her father-in-law."
Mrs. Sun felt quite uneasy.
In the past, when she was in Lin'an, she often beat Xie Yuanting. No one dared to take care of the old servants. No matter how hard she beat her, she never called a doctor. She just applied some wound medicine randomly and kept it for a few days.
In fact, her actions today were about the same as usual... Mrs. Xu invited a doctor to look at Xie Yuanting's injuries and administer medicine, and she suddenly felt guilty.
Her father-in-law said it nicely and allowed her to control her husband. What if she felt regretful when she saw her son with a bruised nose and face, became dissatisfied with her, or simply divorced her as his daughter-in-law? What should she do?
Xie Jun hummed, his eyes passing over Sun's anxious face. Naturally, Sun's thoughts could not be hidden from Xie Jun, who had been in the court for more than twenty years.
"Don't worry, I don't mean to blame you." Xie Jun slowed down his voice: "I once said that as long as you can control Yuanting and prevent him from making mistakes, it doesn't matter what you do. This sentence will always be valid.
"
Mrs. Sun was so moved that she almost shed tears on the spot: "My father-in-law, I don't blame my daughter-in-law at all. From now on, my daughter-in-law must keep a close eye on her husband and never allow him to say anything or do anything wrong."
Xie Jun hummed with satisfaction and stepped into the bedroom.
Then, I saw Xie Yuanting, whose head and face were tightly wrapped in gauze, with only two eyes, a nose and a mouth exposed.
Xie Jun: "..."
Sure enough, he was beaten badly!
Xie Jun had already given up on his eldest son. Otherwise, he would not have ordered Xie Yuanting's right leg to be broken and thrown directly back to his old house in Lin'an. It was a shame that Empress Dowager Yu ordered him to do so, so he had to endure the sullenness to take back this troublemaker.
Now seeing Xie Yuanting being beaten so miserably by Sun, Xie Jun didn't feel any distress in his heart. He just felt relieved. He sat on the chair next to the bed and said calmly: "It's good that you didn't talk nonsense when you entered the palace today. Queen Mother
You should not accept the job as a reward."
Xie Yuanting's head and face were covered, and he could barely move his mouth: "I have already agreed!" Then, he deliberately sneered: "If my father is capable, he will go to the palace to see the Queen Mother and quit this job for me."
It’s that irritating tone again!
Xie Jun felt angry and glared at him coldly: "You have already agreed, so just give me a good job as an errand. Think about everything more than you think about it. Don't stupidly become a chess piece in the hands of others."
"So as not to implicate the Xie family and further implicate the queen's reputation."
Xie Yuanting continued to sneer: "I just realized today that I still have some use value. Otherwise, who would look at me twice? Even my own father despises me as his own son, and he only cares about Xie Mingxi."
"It's no wonder. My father only cares about fame and wealth. He relied on his daughter and son-in-law to go from being the Minister of Honglu Temple to the Minister of Etiquette. He wished he could hold Xie Mingxi on his head and worship him. How could I, a rebellious son like me, be allowed to mess around..."
Xie Jun's shortcomings were exposed, and he suddenly became angry: "You bastard! How dare you talk to me like this!"
The angrier Xie Jun became, the happier Xie Yuanting felt: "I'm just telling the truth."
At this moment, Mrs. Sun came in with the medicine and glared dissatisfied.
Xie Yuanting was filled with resentment and anger, which was stuck in his throat. He changed his words with difficulty: "It's all my son's fault. My son will definitely change his mind in the future."
Xie Jun: "..."
Xie Jun immediately looked at Mr. Sun with admiration.
The loyal servant in the old house in Lin'an sent a letter back every month. Xie Jun already knew how Sun "disciplined" Xie Yuanting. However, no matter how much he heard, it was better to see it with his own eyes.
This daughter-in-law is well married!
Xie Jun was overjoyed and smiled kindly at Mr. Sun: "Yuan Ting has injured his head and face and has to rest for a few days. I will send someone to Huangzhuang tomorrow to ask for leave from Manager Liao. After Yuan Ting recovers from his injury, we can go back to
It’s not too late to go to Huangzhuang.”
"Ms. Sun, just make a good living and serve Yuanting. Your four brothers are all married now. I will write a letter to Lin'an and ask someone to find a job in the Yamen for your four brothers."
What Mrs. Sun cared about the most was her brothers. After hearing Xie Jun's words, Mrs. Sun was excited and happy, and thanked her repeatedly.
My father-in-law is now the Minister of Rites, so it is not difficult for him to arrange a job for the four brothers of the Sun family. The four brothers of the Sun family have not studied and cannot be officials. However, it is not a problem for them to serve as government servants, policemen, or local village chiefs.
The Sun family was impoverished in the past, so they accepted a generous betrothal gift from the Xie family and sold it... No, after marrying their daughter, they married wives for their four sons. With such a good opportunity, it was considered a change of family.
Mrs. Sun was deeply grateful to her father-in-law, and she secretly made up her mind to discipline her husband well and live up to her father-in-law's high expectations.
