A Thousand Hills

Chapter 31

Xie Shangshu came back to the mansion after falling into office, only then did he find out about Mrs. Ning being bombarded.This Lord Shangshu knew that things were impermanent, but he never thought that just going out in the morning and returning home in the evening, the situation at home would already be changing.

Xie Song and Xie Bai came back earlier than their father, and the father and son were a little dumbfounded after hearing how Xie Moru killed Mrs. Ning.Xie Shangshu reassessed the combat value of Huichang's granddaughter deep in his heart, and said to his old wife, "It's better to say, we are still here, no matter what, she doesn't have to worry about her family and life."

Mrs. Xie said, "It's up to you to say, I've already persuaded her."

When it comes to ordinary inner house matters, Xie Shangshu is very trustworthy in his wife, but this time he asked, "Is it useful?" Xie Moru is not a person who is easy to persuade, this eldest granddaughter knows how to make up her own mind.

Mrs. Xie said to herself that there was no need to persuade her at all, she dismissed the maid and mother-in-law, and told Xie Moru's speculation about Master Ning's bitter scheme.Although Xie Shangshu had no expression on his face, he listened with gusto in his heart and sighed to himself, he is truly outstanding.

After Mrs. Xie finished speaking, she asked her husband, "Did Master Ning really have this intention at the beginning?"

Xie Shangshu twitched his beard, expressing a deep meaning, "Oh, it makes sense."

"I think so too." Mrs. Xie couldn't hear the deep meaning in her husband's words, she just sighed blindly, "I really can't see that someone who usually looks at Mrs. Ning as gentle and gentle can be so cruel to herself." At the beginning Before Master Ning went to the table, he first set up a coffin for himself and put it at home, then wrote a letter of divorce to Mrs. Ning, and all the children belonged to Mrs. Ning, and then severed ties with the family.Later, Mrs. Ning brought her children into exile with Mr. Ning. Everyone in the imperial capital praised Mrs. Ning for her unwavering loyalty, her loyalty, and her true virtuous wife.If Xie Moru hadn't pointed it out, Mrs. Xie wouldn't have believed that it was a cruel trick.

Xie Shangshu got up and said, "Let Mo Ru come to the study, so I can tell her, don't make the child feel uneasy."

Seeing that it was time for dinner, Mrs. Xie said, "What's the rush, call her over first, and we'll talk about it after dinner."

Xie Shangshu sighed, "Today's meal is not good."

Mrs. Xie had no choice but to order someone to call Xie Moru over.

Xie Shangshu asked Xie Moyou to take his three younger brothers to have dinner in Songbaiyuan, and he took his old wife and two sons together with Xie Moru to the study to talk.

When we arrived at the study room, Shiling's confidant boy was guarding at the gate of the courtyard. After sitting down, Xie Shangshu said, "They are all close relatives, so I'll just say it straight. Mo Ru, I have to thank you for saving face in front of your grandmother." .”

This is the advantage of a smart person. Even if you don't say your kindness, he can understand it.Xie Moru said indifferently, "This is what it should be." Xie Moru never underestimated Xie Shangshu, this grandfather seldom talked to her, it was not because of Xie Shangshu's prejudice or something, the main reason was that Xie Shangshu didn't spend much time at home, When I have time, I also teach my children and grandchildren, and my granddaughter is not in Xie Shangshu's field of vision.However, Mr. Ning, who was willing to use the bitter tricks of his orders, is now only the fourth-rank Guozijian Jijiu. Xie Shangshu has never used any bitter tricks. The eldest son even married the Fang family, but he has already secured the top spot in the Ministry of Criminal Justice.It can be known from the facts that Xie Shangshu's morality is at least no lower than that of Mr. Ning.

Whether it's exposing Mrs. Ning's face or trying to divorce Mrs. Xie's feelings towards the Ning family, the reason is that she and the Ning family have already had a deep hatred anyway, so there is no need to show mercy.However, Xie Shangshu is different.Xie Shangshu is her grandfather, there is room for maneuver between them.So, of course she wanted to save face for Xie Shangshu, she wasn't sure if Xie Shangshu wanted her to talk.After all, she didn't want to have a relationship with Shangshu Xie, so she only said half of Mrs. Xie's words.

this is necessary.

This answer is simple and wonderful.

Xie Moru didn't say "thank you for your grandfather's praise" or "grandfather's praise", but directly said "this is what it should be".

Yes, we are grandparents, we are close relatives of flesh and blood, of course you will think about me, that's why you say "this is what it should be".

Therefore, being able to talk and being talkative are completely different things.A person who can talk, a simple sentence can make you happy.Xie Shangshu was really happy, and suddenly found that his granddaughter's combat power was extraordinary, and this granddaughter with an explosive combat value had a kind judgment on him, Xie Shangshu was really happy.

Xie Moru is a different person, this, Xie Shangshu has long known.Xie Moru has his own outstanding judgment on things, this, Xie Shangshu has already experienced.With such a premise, Xie Moru could still feel that his grandfather was a good one, but Xie Shangshu felt rather honored.Of course, Xie Moru would make such a judgment, and a large part of the reason came from the fact that there were more interests than conflicts between the Xie family and Xie Moru.But, even so, it was enough for Xie Shangshu to be lucky.He is sincerely grateful to God, blood has endowed them with a natural alliance, and he is willing to continue to maintain this kind of goodwill.

Xie Moru has already expressed his goodwill, Xie Shangshu naturally has his demeanor, he smiled slightly, and said, "Go on and finish, don't ask your grandmother to listen to the rest, it's okay to let her know some of the rest."

Xie Moru stopped being polite, and she said to Mrs. Xie, "Originally, juniors should not talk about elders. Since grandfather wants to tell his wife, then I will do it for him."

Xie Moru was really good at talking when she could speak, she glanced at Xie Shangshu and said, "If I guessed correctly, my grandfather should have guessed some of Lord Ning's thoughts at the beginning." If Xie Shangshu didn't see Lord Ning Xie Moru didn't believe his intentions.If you really can't see it, why would the Xie family risk the disapproval of the world and take in the Ning family!It is said that there was also the meaning of discussing relatives at the beginning.

Seeing that Xie Moruo had expected it, Xie Shangshu couldn't help sighing softly, "Mo Ruo, you can see this, it's quite outstanding."

Xie Moru said, "I just don't know if Grandpa knew about Ning's illness?"

Xie Shangshu smiled bitterly, "I'm not a god either. At that time, Master Bao Ning was too late to die, so I didn't care about her little girl. At that time, the Ning family was about to leave, and Ning suddenly fell ill. Although Master Ning had already issued a The letter of divorce and the severing of ties with the children were also severed, but Mrs. Ning insisted on sharing the joys and sorrows of the family. The Ning family suddenly became seriously ill, and went on the road rashly, fearing that her life would be in jeopardy. Severing contact and not reaching out to help, I asked someone to send her to our house."

Then, Shangshu Xie said frankly, "I guessed that if His Majesty was in charge, the Ning family would have made a great contribution. I have known Mr. Ning for many years, and we were in the same class in the same year. At that time, I really wanted to marry the two families. But, Soon His Majesty bestowed the marriage, and this matter was never mentioned again." In front of the eldest son, Xie Shangshu didn't say anything about it.

On the contrary, Xie Song said, "Even if Lord Ning is a bitter trick, he was the only one who was willing to use this bitter trick at that time. He used a bitter trick and took a huge risk. His Majesty will reward him for his merits. You will sweep Mrs. Ning today." The face-sweeping is too harsh."

Xie Moru said calmly, "I have a lot of quarrels with his family, so I don't need to pretend to be good friends."

Xie Song has always acted like a gentleman, but this time he was not angry when he heard Xie Moru's words, he thought for a while, and said, "There is some truth to it."

Xie Bai didn't care, and said, "Mo Ru is still young anyway, Mrs. Ning should just talk to her mother about this matter, she shouldn't ask to see Mo Ru. Theoretically, she is the birth mother of my aunt, let's talk about her status, and she should not ask to see Mo Ru." It's the order of the fourth rank, and at this age, it's better to pay for it in front of a house full of maids and women, it's not obvious that it's a bully." Originally, Mrs. Yining's status meant that she was forced to do so, the key is It hasn't been done yet, and I have to add a word of shame to my face.

The two brothers obviously wanted to go together. Xie Song liked Aunt Ning, but she didn't like Aunt Ning to the point of becoming obsessed. today.Xie Bo directly said that Mrs. Ning was his aunt's biological mother, and Xie Song didn't think there was anything wrong.This is the truth, what Xie Song thinks is that Xie Moru is so strong, she clearly said that she has a rift with the Ning family, and now Xie Moru is sitting and talking with their father and son, it seems that what the father means is not Speaking of alienating the Ning family, at least this granddaughter fell into the eyes of her father.

About this, Xie Song didn't feel much, it's normal for Xie Moru to fall into his father's eyes.Xie Moru's outer family already had a strong matrilineal lineage.I will not mention Princess Ningping. This is the well-known princess who was once in power. Among other things, she is now enthroned at a young age and is able to keep the country, all thanks to Princess Ningping.At that time, the Emperor Taizu saw that he was going to die, and the mother-in-law of the Taizu, the Empress Dowager Cheng, asked the Emperor Taizu, "Can the young master protect the country?" This means, your son is too young, can he protect the country?

Taizu didn't say a word, and Princess Ningping replied, "The children and ministers are still here, and the country will last forever." In this way, the emperor Taizu's family was able to protect the country.

Princess Ningping is tough like Ruosi, but speaking of it, she is far worse than Empress Dowager Cheng.This one is the best of the best. The Emperor Taizu was able to become the emperor. It is one thing that he has the ability, but a big reason is also because he has a mother who is capable.Empress Dowager Cheng is not generally capable, other women like romantic things, Empress Dowager Cheng specializes in rebellion.It is said that before raising the banner of righteousness, the emperor Taizu was very hesitant when he opened the bow and did not turn back the arrow. He irritated Mrs. Cheng and smacked his mouth directly.Later, when Emperor Taizu came to the throne, he was going to seal three generations of his ancestors, and when he wanted to seal his own father, Empress Dowager Cheng was very disdainful, and commented on the ancestor emperor, "Shuzi is not enough to be an emperor."

Even if the person who said this was his own mother, the Emperor Taizu still looked ashamed, so he had to explain it to his mother with difficulty. Although the old man is sorry for you, my son, I have become the emperor, so I have to have a background .You can't just have a mother without a father!The Empress Dowager Cheng immediately found a story for her son, "My son was born in heaven and earth, and it is enough to enshrine heaven and earth."

Emperor Taizu choked his mother to death, but he had the cheek to make an emperor for his underground scumbag father.

Therefore, Xie Moru's mother lineage has such a powerful bloodline, it is normal for her to be stronger.If it suddenly becomes soft and waxy, unless it is like my grandfather.That Prince Consort Fang is famous for his good temper.Now it seems that Xie Moru did not inherit Fang Consort's good temper.Of course, if it was just a tough temper, Xie Song would not pay much attention to this eldest daughter at all. However, she not only inherited the toughness from the matriarchal line, but also inherited the political acumen from the matrilineal line.

Even if Xie Song likes to put on an air of dignity, he doesn't really put on it now.Although he likes to serve, he has always been very knowledgeable about current affairs. Confucius also pays attention to teaching students according to their aptitude. People in the officialdom have always been more snobbish, and the most important thing is to order dishes according to each person.

Xie Song said to Xie Moru, "You are still young, so it doesn't matter if you sweep Mrs. Ning's face this time, I just want to talk about the families who had a feud with the eldest princess back then. There are indeed several families. Fortunately, your surname is Xie, so it is rare to go out. Mention the matter of the Eldest Princess."

"Father, don't worry, I understand." One emperor and one courtier, her father is really tactful, how many families are there?The whole city is full of relatives and nobles, those who once favored the eldest princess may have been punished by now.Most of the ones who stayed were probably having trouble with the Eldest Princess.

Xie Song's eyebrows twitched, and he said to himself, you understand, you'd better not take the grievances of the eldest princess on you, that's called understanding.Thinking about Xie Moru's blood of the Fang family, Xie Song was almost turning gray.

Xie Moru smiled, "Didn't my father just say that my surname is Xie?" Looking at her father's appearance, she is really worried, but fortunately her mother only gave birth to her, if she can give birth like Aunt Ning, her father may be able to give birth to Dujuanyuan. The problem of lineage is worrying.

Xie Bai said, "Why, as a parent, you always want to protect your children."

Xie Moru said, "The age that is most prone to premature death has passed, and the possibility of accidents is very small now. If someone starts to taboo me now, it must be that I am a threat to others. One person taboos another person, which in itself shows , This person is not confident enough. Find out where he is not confident, and hit him right away."

One hit is sure to hit!
Xie Shangshu's fingertips jumped, Xie Moru's eyes were looking at him calmly, Xie Shangshu has been a fox for many years, and his psychological quality is extraordinary, he only smiled and said, "It seems that Moru still has something to say."

Xie Moru said, "I don't know if I should speak or not."

"You can talk."

"Then," Xie Moru paused and said, "I want to know, who was the instigation of Lord Ning's actions? Is it someone else, or is it you, grandfather?"
