After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 459 Lin Family Entanglement
Mrs. Xie's head was about to explode, but her brother and sister-in-law kept making noise.

"Butler, go and find out more about the eldest princess's situation." Mrs. Xie instructed the butler.

The housekeeper glanced at the Lin couple and finally responded respectfully.

In just half a day, the housekeeper reported the information he had obtained to Mrs. Xie.

"The prince consort has been seriously ill for more than half a year. The princess asked a royal doctor to stay in the palace to take care of the prince consort. The princess is very concerned about her two children and is worried about their marriage... Censor Ning has been favored by the princess recently... The princess has always been on good terms with the Gu family, and Gu Mingda is Shen Changfeng's teacher... The princess publicly praised the daughter of the Song family at a banquet a few days ago..."

The information the housekeeper brought up was very diverse and Mrs. Xie listened very carefully.

Mrs. Xie thought that if General Xie was seriously ill, she would be worried, so she said as a matter of course: "The prince consort is seriously ill? Then we need to add many precious medicinal herbs to this gift."

The housekeeper gave her a meaningful look and said, "The princess has been in close contact with Censor Ning recently."

Mrs. Xie asked innocently, "Is she planning to impeach someone?"

"Imperial Censor Ning is handsome and promising at a young age, but unfortunately he comes from a humble background. He has achieved his current status thanks to the support of the eldest princess," said the housekeeper.

Madam Xie still didn't think much about it and said, "Then can we try to follow Censor Ning's approach? See who he wants to impeach, and then we will know who has offended the princess."

housekeeper:……

The butler took a deep breath and said, "This path is still too tortuous."

But Madam Xie insisted on having her own way. She even made preparations for both situations. On the one hand, she asked people to prepare generous gifts and prepare to visit the Ning family. On the other hand, she sent many precious medicinal materials and brought a doctor who was said to be a famous doctor in Mizhou to the Princess's Mansion.

The doctor arrived at the residence, but before he even met the prince consort, he was beaten out by the people from the Princess's mansion. This path was obviously common.

The Ning family did accept the expensive gifts at first, but the matter was not accomplished. Instead, Censor Ning was scolded by the princess. After being scolded, Censor Ning immediately ordered someone to return the gifts to the Xie family. The person who delivered the message looked as if he wanted to eat the Xie family alive.

"Sister, please think of another way. Tao'er is suffering in prison now. He is so delicate and fragile that he cannot stand such injustice..." Mrs. Lin started to cry while holding a handkerchief.

Mrs. Xie was extremely worried and called the housekeeper to ask for advice: "Think of another solution."

"Madam, the young master is on good terms with the Gu family. Lord Gu is the young master Shen's master, and the eldest princess loves Miss Gu very much. Why don't you try going to the Gu family?" said the housekeeper.

Mrs. Xie still vividly remembered the setbacks she suffered in the Gu family, and she did not want to return to that shameful place.

Mrs. Lin didn't know about this, and said from the side: "Sister, since there is such a good way, why didn't you use it earlier? Go and find the Gu family! The case will be tried after the New Year. If we can't make the princess calm down, our Taoer will be finished!"

Madam Xie frowned and said, "The government office will not open until after the 15th. Isn't that still more than ten days away? Why are you in such a hurry? Xie Xingchuan will be back soon, and we can talk to him then."

In a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. Even though Niuniu was reluctant, Xie Xingchuan still left the Gu family and returned to the Xie Mansion. "I thought you were not coming back. Why don't you just spend the New Year there and let everyone in the capital see what an ungrateful person you are!" Mrs. Xie said with a cold face.

Xie Xingchuan glanced at her and asked, "Mother wants me to stay at Gu's house for the New Year?"

Xie Xingchuan has now learned Niu Niu's way of dealing with things. He asks questions directly if he has any. The way he asks now is the same as before, which makes Mrs. Xie lose face on the spot.

The Chinese New Year is a day for family reunion. No matter how big the hatred is in the past, the family must get together. On such a day, if Xie Xingchuan really stays in the Gu family, and the news spreads, Xie Xingchuan will be scolded for being unfilial, and Mrs. Xie will not get any good thing. Others will also think that she is mean to her son, so she is like this.

Mrs. Xie's hands were shaking with anger. She missed her son who didn't have a mouth. At least at that time, no matter how badly Xie Xingchuan was tormented, he would just endure it silently.

Mrs. Xie even felt a sense of crisis. Could it be that after the recognition of their relationship, Xie Xingchuan felt that he had someone to rely on, so he had the confidence to speak to her like this?
"You should stay at home for the next few days. We can talk about other things after you finish visiting your relatives!" Mrs. Xie changed the subject.

Xie Xingchuan just felt it was a pity. If Mrs. Xie had agreed, he could have returned home to celebrate the New Year.

Mrs. Xie thought about it and still felt uncomfortable. She found fault and said, "You saw that Uncle and Aunt Lin were cold and indifferent. Is this the way to treat guests? Go back and copy the Filial Piety Classic a hundred times."

Xie Xingchuan continued to ask directly: "May I ask mother, in what way was I disrespectful? Was it because I did not kneel down to greet my uncle and aunt who were not officials?"

Although Xie Xingchuan was not a talkative person, he immediately greeted and called his elders when he saw them. Mrs. Xie was just nitpicking.

Before Mrs. Xie opened her mouth to make excuses, Mrs. Lin on the side said anxiously: "Big sister, you are too strict in disciplining your children. Xingchuan has never been disrespectful to us. You misunderstood him."

Mrs. Lin is still concerned about her son and doesn't dare to offend Xie Xingchuan at all.

Xie Xingchuan looked at his cheap aunt in surprise. Mrs. Lin had never been so kind before. Although she seemed polite on the surface, she often added fuel to the fire of Mrs. Xie in private.

"Xingchuan, don't think too much. Your mother has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She has always been thinking about you and has been talking about you every day these two days." Mrs. Lin said with a smile.

Xie Xingchuan didn't say anything.

After Mrs. Lin cursed the little mute in her heart, she felt that she had become closer to Xie Xingchuan, so she came over and said, "Speaking of which, your general's mansion is good in everything, but the population is small. A good man needs three helpers. You don't have any brothers or sisters, so you can only rely on your cousins..."

Mrs. Lin wanted to take this opportunity to mention her son and ask Xie Xingchuan to pay more attention and take care of him.

But who would have thought that Xie Xingchuan, who had always been taciturn, suddenly took the initiative to say, "Aunt, I have a biological brother and sister."

Mrs. Lin was stunned.

Xie Xingchuan raised his lips slightly, and said with some pride: "My eldest brother is smart and handsome, and is a good candidate for studying. My younger brother is well-versed in medical books and will definitely be able to save lives and become a good doctor in the future. I also have a younger sister who is lively and cute. Everyone who has met her doesn't dislike her."
