A Thousand Hills

Chapter 30

Even though Mrs. Xie had heard her second son talk about how outstanding Xie Moru was, even her husband treated the eldest granddaughter differently in words, but this was the first time Mrs. Xie saw Xie Moru's fierce methods with her own eyes.

In the past, suppressing Xie Moyou was not counted, it was just a friction between sisters, and Mrs. Xie could calm it down with a word.Even Mrs. Li, who was confronted by Xie Moru and apologized, in Mrs. Xie's opinion, her words could only be regarded as appropriate.It's even worse than this, the thunderous method directly blasted Mrs. Ning into scum.

You know, when Mrs. Ning came to Xie Mansion in person, she definitely came with great confidence.This woman, who was born in a great family since she was a child, was married to Jinke Tanhua 28 years ago. Then, her husband's official career rose and fell, and honor and disgrace accompanied her for most of her life. Seeing the age of knowing her destiny, she came to Xie Mansion for one reason. To make up for the mistakes my daughter made earlier, and secondly, I want to use the lost Dujuanyuan to brush up my character.However, things backfired, and the character value was not improved. On the contrary, Xie Mo Rusan and the two of them were ordered to be inhumane inside and out, and lost all face.

so amazing.

Mrs. Xie was simply shocked.

She has known Mrs. Ning for most of her life. It's not that she doesn't know Mrs. Ning. She doesn't like to cry when something happens, but her heart is as hard as iron and stone.This cousin is not a person who has no means. As a result, she was forced into a desperate situation by Xie Moru without using all her skills.

At this moment, Mrs. Xie really believed that Xie Moru did not take Aunt Ning to heart. Even Mrs. Ning, a respectable person of the fourth grade, could be deflated in front of her. Aunt Ning could hardly be called an opponent. Xie Moru again How to take it to heart.

When Mrs. Ning said goodbye, her demeanor could be described as fragmented.Mrs. Xie comforted, "Cousin, don't worry too much, children always think of it as soon as they come out."

Mrs. Ning's mouth was full of bitterness, her heart was full of bitterness, but she couldn't express her bitterness.She can confess herself a thousand times and ten thousand times. My family has no ambitions for the main wife, but saying this is suspicious in itself.What's more, Xie Moru's singing and writing just now were excellent, it was almost determined what her family would do to Fang's mother and daughter, if Fang's had something good or bad, it must be his Ning family.

This kind of inference is simply heartbreaking!

Could it be that Fang's sudden illness and death is also related to her Ning family?

Yes, in Xie Moru's inference, that's it.

Xie Moru has already said that my mother's only identity now is father's main wife.And with this identity, the only person who stands in the way is your daughter.

Therefore, even if the Fang family has good or bad things, in order to clear up the suspicion, the Ning family can't support Aunt Ning's rectification, otherwise it will be even more suspicious.

Mrs. Ning has never seen such a vicious person in most of her life. Those damn servants, do they have eyes and say that this girl is stupid!Look, Mrs. Ning, those who said that were all blind!
Of course, her daughter is at least half-blind!Such a powerful concubine, even if Fang doesn't go out, you have to be careful!Even if you're not careful enough, your eyes can't be used as a display to tell people to send me wrong messages!I want to know that Xie Moru has such means, I must never try to defeat her army in front of this house full of maids and women, at least, I won't be so shameless!
Just as Mrs. Xie knows Mrs. Ning, and Mrs. Ning understands Mrs. Xie, she is [-]% sure of dealing with Mrs. Xie. She only depends on the years of friendship between the two families and the official position of her master. No matter what, Mrs. Xie will always give her Save face.

However, Xie Moru was different, she said as soon as she entered the door, you are here as your aunt's mother, please forgive me for not being able to greet you.I directly put Mrs. Ning on the head first, who are you, I don't know, the first time I saw you, I knew you were the mother of my aunt.The mother of my father's concubine, I can't even salute you, otherwise I'm afraid of misunderstanding.

Yes, Mrs. Xie will give her face, but in terms of etiquette, Xie Moru is not so taboo. She is young, and she still has the status of the direct line. What's more, even if the Fang family stays at home in the Dujuan Courtyard , that is still the daughter of Princess Ningping.And the eldest princess is Xie Moru's grandmother.

Blood relationship is a very wonderful thing, just like Mrs. Ning, no matter how angry her daughter is, she still has to come and speak for her.It's like Princess Ningping has passed away, but Fang's family still lives in the Dujuan courtyard in peace and stability, worshiping day and night, just like in the past.Fang's ability to live so peacefully is due to his mother's legacy.It was Xie Moru, she said clearly, my surname is neither Fang nor Mu, but my surname is Xie.However, what Mrs. Ning is most afraid of is the bloodline of the eldest princess in Xie Moru's body. As Xie Moru said, there is no one else in the Fang family, and the eldest princess has passed away. On the surface, Dujuanyuan is at a disadvantage. But in fact, the strength of the Ning family will make people think that her family is indeed bullying the mother and daughter who have lost power in their mother clan.

If Dujuanyuan really loses power, Mrs. Ning will really be bullied, and she is not afraid.Anyone can pinch a soft persimmon.However, if Dujuanyuan really loses power, how can Fang's life be so stable?

It's not that the Xie family is really strict about the dignity of the descendants, even if they pay attention to the dignity of the descendants, they don't have to worship the Fang family as their ancestors, right?
It's Your Majesty.

His Majesty wishes Fang Shi to live.

Living is not the kind of lingering life that is enough to breathe. You have to live with food, clothing, housing and transportation, just like in the past, living with dignity.

Therefore, even if the Fang family never goes out of the Dujuan courtyard, the Xie family dare not neglect her in the slightest.Because if there is something good or bad about the Fang family, the emperor will ask why.

Originally, Aunt Ning also took the low-key and gentle route of "getting benefits". How about Fang's family, Aunt Ning was favored by Xie Song, and her children had three sons and one daughter. She gradually gained Mrs. Xie's approval, and there was With a reputation of being virtuous and virtuous, when Fang Shi closed her eyes, she would be able to take her right seat.Of course, it doesn't matter if Fang refuses to close his eyes when he dies, Fang has no son.

Everything went smoothly, until the pig team like Mother Chen uttered lies.This kind of thing, everyone has a measure in their hearts, but they can't say it.

As soon as Mother Chen said, the Xie family must show their stance, and in order to show that they have a clear lineage, the Xie family had to severely punish Aunt Ning.

As for the Ning family, they absolutely dare not admit that they have such wolfish ambitions.Therefore, Mrs. Ning has to come here to defend this matter. It is a small matter to defend her daughter. It is also very important to get Xie Moru's understanding if she cannot see Mrs. Fang.

What the two families did was not only a gesture that the concubine must make in accordance with the etiquette and law, but more importantly, it must not be misunderstood by His Majesty the Emperor of the Jiuzhong Palace.They have to show that the Xie family is a family that abides by etiquette and law, and there is absolutely a clear distinction between the descendants and concubines.As for the Ning family, they want to show that Aunt Ning is just too incompetent to discipline her servants.

So, it's all the servant's fault.

Mrs. Ning had a very clear understanding of the situation, and the development of the situation was as she expected, until she asked to apologize to Xie Moru in person.

Mrs. Ning got wrong information earlier, so that she misestimated Xie Moru's combat power, and the final result was that she left with a stomach full of bitterness that she couldn't swallow.

As for Aunt Ning, as soon as Mrs. Ning left, Mrs. Xie ordered her to go back to the Peony Courtyard to rest, refresh her mind, and copy the women's commandments in her spare time, so she doesn't have to come to the Songbai Courtyard to say hello.

Su Lan brought tea, Mrs. Xie took a sip, and said, "I'll go to the Shaoyaoyuan to have a look, and the Xiaokuayuan will be cleaned up as soon as possible. If Huazhangtang is over from school, let Mo You come over for dinner."

Su Lan replied "Yes" and went down to order.

Mrs. Xie held a cup of tea and was thinking about Xie Moru. She was thinking, did Xie Moru seriously think that the Ning family would be disadvantageous to the Fang family?I want to tell Xie Moru that our family is not made of mud, you just need to live with peace of mind, but you don't know how to speak.Because Aunt Ning gained power earlier, the Xie family also acquiesced.Later, seeing that Xie Moru was bright and observant, and showed his talents, Xie Jiafang put the scales on the right side.

In fact, in the final analysis, Mrs. Xie didn't know much about Xie Moru, so after seeing Xie Moru's methods, she became very cautious.

In the end, Mrs. Xie called Xie Moru to talk about her family's 100-year unwavering policy and determination after lunch, and told Xie Moru to just live in peace and not think too much.Even the Ning family did not dare to murder the Fang family.Mrs. Xie said this, "I'm still alive. Could it be that I can't protect you mother and daughter in our house? You just need to rest assured that the Ning family is incompetent and is taken advantage of by villains. Please trouble her. There is me at home, and your father and grandfather are outside, let’s not say that we are close relatives. Is it possible that I need others to intervene in the matter of my Xie family?" What about Fang is also a matter of Xie's family. Other people's hands to control the inner house of Xie's family is slapping Mrs. Xie in the face.

Xie Moru smiled lightly, and said to Su Lan, "Take the little girl down, you go and guard the door."

Su Lan looked at Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie nodded slightly, Su Lan hurriedly took the little maids down.Xie Moru tapped on his knees with his fingertips, "Actually, I am worried about the Ning family, but I am not worried about the Ning family."

Mrs. Xie was depressed, "You still don't believe what I say."

"That's not what I mean. I've always felt at ease with my grandmother in the inner house." Xie Moru has always been very patient, even when facing Mrs. Ning, she was still calm, and said in a gentle voice, "Today, I will suppress the Ning family for the time being. The second is to see how the Ning family is doing?"

"Grandfather and grandmother are very familiar with his family, so let me tell you what I think about the Ning family." There were only two grandparents in the room, Mrs. Xie didn't speak, only Xie Moru's soothing and calm voice, she said, " Grandmother, please forgive me. The Ning family is a family with an extraordinary desire for power. Master Ning is a person who likes to take risks in the army and has few taboos. Mrs. Ning treats vows like dirt, so don't say a word Jiuding, her words don't have the slightest credibility."

Xie Mo's popular way of saying this is that, for these two men and women, the man's ambition is clear, and the woman's talk is better than farting.

Mrs. Xie is not in a hurry, but she really wants to know how Xie Moru came to this conclusion.Mrs. Xie said, "Tell me."

"I think Mrs. Ning dresses well and behaves well, do you think she came from a rich family?" She asked Mrs. Xie first.

"Her natal family is from the Wang family of Jinzhong, and the family has also been eunuchs for generations, and her father has the title of Marquis of Jinning."

"Is anyone in the royal family serving as an official?"

"In the court, his elder brother is Wang You, Minister of Dali Temple."

Xie Moru said softly, "I heard from my second uncle that my grandfather and Mr. Ning were on the same gold list back then, one was the second and the other was the third. Come to think of it, at that time, Mr. Ning was not engaged yet?" Seeing Mrs. Xie's acquiescence, Xie Moru said, "Outstanding Student, once you have fame, it will be easier to talk about a good marriage. There is nothing wrong with it. The second uncle is also the empress lord of Chunwei, but there is no comparison between the second uncle and Mr. Ning."

"Let's talk about Lord Ning's letter suggesting that Princess Ning should return to the government. I heard that after Lord Ning wrote this letter, he was exiled to Lingnan for corruption and bribery. Grandma thinks that Lord Ning's move is out of public interest?"

Mrs. Xie is also from a great family, and has been with her husband for many years in the ups and downs of the official career. She is not an ignorant woman. Now that the two grandmothers are honest with each other, there is nothing to say.Mrs. Xie said, "Even if Lord Ning wants to claim credit, exile is real. Lingnan is a land full of miasma and poisonous insects. Anyone who goes there will depend on God for life and death."

"Did anyone in the Ning family die in Lingnan?"

Mrs. Xie was at a loss for words for a moment, Xie Moru said, "There is no merit greater than Conglong. In my opinion, Mr. Ning is just asking for credit for this. It is true for the letter of remonstrance, and it is also true for the crime."

"Since he made the memorial, he had already claimed credit. If he was convicted later, would it be unnecessary? Besides, His Majesty had not yet been in charge at that time. If there is any disharmony in the memorial, his life may be in danger." Xie Moru is young, Mrs. Xie has experienced those years, even if she is a woman in the inner house, she cannot see the bloody storm in the court, but Mrs. Xie is not less afraid.

"No, at that time, although His Majesty was not in charge, he already had the ability to deal with political affairs and had his own judgment on right and wrong. Moreover, Mr. Ning's Yue family is the family of the Marquis Mansion after all, and there are always connections. One who is corrupt, The number is not large, or more like framing and misunderstanding, King Ning and his family are not poor, what reason does Lord Ning have to bribe after offending the eldest princess, isn't it a ready-made handle for others?" Xie Moru's eyes were calm , "As for why Lord Ning handed over this handle to others, it is actually very easy to explain. This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone. Anyway, as long as Lord Ning is dealt with, even if the Eldest Princess is not dissatisfied with his letter of remonstrance, Your Majesty must be suspicious of the Eldest Princess because of this. Second, grandma must know that there is another trick in this world called bitter tricks. For example, Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Ning, Mrs. Ning accompanied Mrs. Ning to exile for thousands of miles. What is this called? , This is called a couple in distress. The same is true between monarchs and ministers. This minister was exiled when he spoke a word of justice for His Majesty. Those who give advice without getting hurt have more weight."

Under Xie Moru's analysis, Rao even Mrs. Xie couldn't help the hairs all over her body standing on end.She is used to things in the officialdom where she buys an official and asks for a errand, but such subtle tricks, and the person who did this was the Ning family, whom she has been walking quite close to, even at Mrs. Xie's age. My heart felt cold when I heard it, and I was dumbfounded.

Xie Moru said, "It's not scary to have scheming in this world. In the officialdom, whoever has a place in the officialdom has no scheming. But Mrs. Ning can swear poisonous oaths casually, which is too scary."

Xie Moru said indifferently, "I have never cared about Aunt Ning, because Aunt Ning is too impatient. It is unlikely that a family like the Ning family will make a name for Aunt Ning. However, if there is a chance to push her, he The family will not mind."

"No belief, no questioning of right and wrong, ignoring oaths, and only chasing power. I am indeed a little afraid of people who regard power as their belief."

I am a little apprehensive.

So, grandma, are you afraid?
