Qin Huairou smiled and gave Xia Shang a meaningful look, which made Xia Shang blush and quickly walk ahead.
In the front hall, the other four women were waiting.
Yazhi also regained her energy, sat at the table, and looked at Xia Shang eagerly.
Li Xiaoxian's expression was indifferent, he held his cheeks in his hands and didn't know what he was thinking about.
Xia Shang looked back at Huairou and asked in a low voice: "It's so late, what are you doing together?"
"Of course it's a matter related to the Xia family."
Qin Huairou replied, slowly walked inside and sat down with the other three women.
Xia Shang walked to the table curiously, looked at the table of five women, and sat down.
Xia Shang's mood was a little strange. He was originally alone, but in the blink of an eye, there were five beauties sitting in front of him, all looking at him so eagerly that he felt a little off-kilter.
Xia Shang felt a little itchy in his heart, but the five women in front of him were all serious. He didn't know what they were discussing when they were sitting together.
Is it because of the debts the family has?
Just as he was thinking about it, Qin Huairou spoke first: "Ms. sir, I know that you don't want our family to come over."
"Wait..." Xia Shang interrupted quickly, "When would I not want you to come over? You are all my favorite people, so naturally I think about them day and night. But there are many things in the capital, and I am busy with my own affairs.
We are too busy with things, and even the ladies can’t take care of them when they come.”
"It's not that my husband can't take care of me, but I'm worried that I'll be in danger after coming to the capital, right?"
"..." Xia Shang was stunned for a moment, then explained, "This is just one of them. You also know that the current situation in the capital is not good, and no one can guarantee anyone's absolute safety."
"In the past, my husband always downplayed this matter, and never told us about the court and everything that my husband faced. As a woman, I shouldn't have paid much attention to it, but some winds have blown from the capital to Suzhou, and I didn't know until now.
I understand that my husband will be so dangerous in the capital. What my husband has done cannot be concealed by understatement. I remember that my husband is walking on thin ice every day in Beijing. My wives and concubines don’t know how to share the burden, but the courage to follow my husband is after all.
Yes, so I made my own decision and came directly. Originally, when the letter was sent, we were already on the way here, but I was afraid that my husband would not allow me to
They are like this."
Xia Shang frowned: "What do you mean the wind in the capital has blown to Yangzhou? Besides, since you know how dangerous it is in the capital, you shouldn't come to the capital. You guys..."
Qin Huairou's expression was calm: "There is news from my natal family that my husband has caused a lot of trouble in the capital and has offended many people who should not be offended. Not only our winery, but also the Qin family has felt it.
Some impact.”
"...What do you mean by this? What happened to the Qin family...the Qin family?"
"It's just that some connections that we haven't contacted for a long time have taken the initiative to show their courtesy and brought a lot of benefits to the Qin family. This was originally a good thing, but grandpa said that this is a sign of impending disaster. Now many people are watching
My husband, keep an eye on the Xia family. In the past, I didn't feel anything about my concubine, but recently there was news that my husband was removed from his position and his status in Beijing plummeted, so some people began to have evil intentions.
Now my husband's safety is related to all the families related to him. Even if we are hiding far away in the south of the Yangtze River, we still can't avoid it when there is a crisis. My coming to the capital is my grandpa's instruction..."
"Hmm? The old man of the Qin family...why would he let you take risks?"
"My husband acted too high-profile, but he never exposed his weaknesses. Grandpa said that this is not a good thing. People without weaknesses can easily become everyone's enemies. Sometimes, exposing your weaknesses to others is a way to gain stability. Grandpa
I think our coming to the capital can relieve the pressure on my husband in the capital."
"..." Xia Shang was silent. He didn't expect the stories behind today's situation.
Xia Shang didn't think about what his wife said. She might be a fan of the authorities. Xia Shang never felt that playing himself too powerful was a very dangerous signal.
But when I thought about it, what the lady just said was not unreasonable, but such an approach was too risky. Even if Xia Shang had thought of this, he would not have done it.
But now that it's all here, and it's the old man's decision, Xia Shang believes that Mr. Qin wouldn't say this if he didn't have sufficient reasons.
In this way, Mr. Qin gave Xia Shang a way out. In this case, there is nothing to worry about.
Thinking about it, Xia Shang gradually relaxed, but when he saw the look in the lady's eyes, it turned out to be a serious look of embarrassment.
angry.
This sudden look in front of Xia Shang made his heart tremble. He felt guilty for no reason and asked tentatively: "Madam, you...why are you looking at me like this?"
Qin Huairou frowned: "I'm calling my sisters together tonight because I want to make it clear to my husband. In the future, please don't hide anything from us. If our husband really treats us as a family, we should share everything together instead of
A person says nothing."
"Well...it's not that I don't say anything, I just don't want to make things too clear. That's because I don't want you to worry."
If it was rare for him to speak when he first met, he interrupted with a small voice: "As long as you can follow the young master, there is nothing to worry about, no matter how great the difficulties or dangers are."
Yazhi and Ruyan nodded one after another, while Xiaoxian remained silent but looked at Xia Shang seriously.
When Xia Shang saw this formation, he knew that they had discussed it in advance. He knew that no matter how chauvinistic he was, he could not offend the public, so he smiled and said that he would not do it again.
Qin Huairou grabbed Xia Shang's hand that was used to scratching his head and said seriously: "Ms. sir, this is a very serious matter. Can you be more serious?"
Xia Shang quickly became serious and made a gesture of swearing: "I will..."
"Okay, okay... My husband is still so glib and irritating. Now that my husband has said it in front of everyone, I will discuss it with everyone no matter what happens in the future."
"Okay, okay..." Xia Shang nodded, and was let go by several women.
I thought the matter would end here, but I didn't expect that this woman was so determined to make Xia Shang aware of their dissatisfaction that no one was willing to give him a good look.
The reunion was only a moment of tenderness on the carriage. Now that the ladies know what happened to them in the capital, they must have been frightened enough, so they put up such a big display to remind themselves.
Xia Shang also felt that his arbitrary behavior had hurt his wife's heart, so he had nothing to complain about being thrown into the cold palace by them.
When I returned to my room and lay down on my bed, I suddenly didn't want to go back to the mission.
But when I think about the attitude of the ladies, I feel itchy to stay at home and watch them. It would be better to wait for two days for the ladies’ resentment to dissipate, and then I can come back and enjoy the taste of a gentle country.
