A Thousand Hills

Chapter 32

As soon as Xie Mo said this, the already quiet study room became even more quiet, and the few people seemed to be holding back the sound of breathing.Fortunately, none of the people who were able to enter the study room today were good-natured, even Mrs. Xie's eyes widened in astonishment, and she didn't lose her composure after being dazed for a moment.Xie Song and Xie Bai's eyes only lingered between Xie Shangshu and Xie Moru, but Xie Shangshu and Xie Moru remained calm.

Xie Moru is fine, she said this, so she naturally held her breath.Xie Shangshu fully demonstrated the superb quality of a senior member of the second rank. Xie Moru stared at Xie Shangshu exactly, but Xie Shangshu didn't even move an eyebrow. He looked calm and graceful, and asked without answering, "Mo Ru, what you think?"

Xie Moru's evaluation was very pertinent, she said, "If the whole thing is a plan, then Master Ning is willing to be a pawn."

Hearing this sentence, Xie Shangshu was finally relieved.He was not afraid that Xie Moru would learn the inside story, Xie Moru had such a brain, he didn't know it now, and it would be a matter of time before he knew it in the future.He was really worried that Xie Moru only had political wisdom but no political mind.If Xie Mo Ru is stupid, has limited ability, or is just an ordinary lady, Xie Shangshu will not be so worried.A person's starting point may be given by his family parents, and his apex depends entirely on his own ability.Xie Moru is undoubtedly a capable person, even if there are gender restrictions, Xie Shang does not want to have the most fundamental conflict with her.

Xie Shangshu showed a relieved smile and said, "I was very worried just now."

Xie Moru turned his head to think about it, and asked, "Are you worried that I will hate my family after I know that my grandfather is involved?"

"Yes." When it was time to show the love between grandparents and grandchildren, Xie Shangshu was not stingy. He said frankly, "We are grandparents, and you and Princess Eldest are also grandparents. I always hope that you can understand." Understand me As a minister, I have my political choices.

Xie Moru looked at Xie Shangshu quite incomprehensibly, "What is incomprehensible about this kind of thing, it has nothing to do with right or wrong, it's just about success or failure. Why should I hate my grandfather because of this? Because you are related to this matter?"

Xie Moru had a look of "you are not sick in your mind", she said, "I heard that the second uncle said that my grandfather taught history books to your majesty, so it is normal for you to lean towards your majesty. I hate the Ning family, is it because Mr. The Eldest Princess returns to the government? Then my grandfather underestimated me too much. I hate his family just because I don’t like his family’s character and behavior. It’s narrow and cunning. Xie Moru has to admire his courage, strategy and courage, Master Ruoning is just a pawn, and nothing more.Of course, in that case, being a pawn is also a huge risk, or Mr. Ning is not just a pawn, but has a dignified background, so he may be one of the planners himself.However, watching the Ning family's affairs, although she has never met Mrs. Ning, Mrs. Ning and Aunt Ning are enough.

This is the first time Xie Moru has clearly stated that I hate someone.She spoke with confidence, even Xie Song was speechless for a moment.The rest of Xie Shangshu, Mrs. Xie Baijun secretly said, it seems that Xie Moru really hates the way of the Ning family.

For a person like Xie Moru, listening to her, she knows that right and wrong are not generally understood. Even what Xie Shangshu and the eldest princess did against each other, Xie Moru can say that "it's not about right or wrong, it's about success or failure".Of course, Xie Moru may have to say this, after all, Xie Moru belongs to the Xie family, and she still has to rely on this surname now.However, Xie Moru's demeanor and tone when speaking, even Xie Shangshu couldn't see the sign of her pretending.Xie Shangshu still believed in his own eyes. He didn't think he had done anything wrong. He also admitted that Princess Ningping was a generation of heroines, but this had nothing to do with their opposing positions.If Xie Moru could fool him now, then Xie Shangshu would also admit it.

Xie Moru has such pertinent views on her mother's family, but she shows such a direct dislike for the Ning family, it can be seen that the Ning family is greatly despised by her.Moreover, there is no way to persuade this kind of disgust. Xie Moru directly said that the Ning family's character and behavior are not good, how do you persuade them?Evidence?To give an example, when Xie Shangshu thought about it, Xie Moru could deduce the matter of Mr. Ning's pawn's bitter plan, and Xie Shangshu could not say that Xie Moru's words were wrong.

Xie Shangshu said softly, "Mo Ru, you have your own judgment on everything. It is a good thing for people to have their own opinions. You have a different temperament from mine. I will not comment on your judgment. It is difficult to give you an accurate statement on external matters, but on domestic matters , from today onwards, Aunt Ning is not allowed to meddle in the family affairs, please be safe on the first and fifteenth day of every month, and let her stay peacefully in the Peony Courtyard during the rest of the time."

Xie Song thought about it, but didn't say anything.No matter how much he loves Concubine Ning, he also knows that Concubine Ning has committed a big taboo this time.Xie Moru didn't realize it when she was a child, but now, with Xie Moru's skills, that woman still dares to say that the Ning family is her in-laws in front of her, and it is not a bad thing to suppress Aunt Ning.Otherwise, one day, I'm afraid it won't be a matter of pressure.What's more, Xie Shangshu is the head of the first class and the second-rank Shangshu, so he doesn't really take Aunt Ning seriously.Xie Shangshu had other ideas and said, "Azhi and the others are also your younger brothers."

Xie Moru doesn't care, she has never had any special feelings towards Aunt Ning's family, she talks less, and the reason why she is better than passers-by is that Xie Moru doesn't go out often, passers-by are a rarity to her.Xie Shangshu knew from Xie Moru's expression that Xie Moru didn't like Xie Zhi at all.Xie Shangshu was not annoyed at all, because of what Aunt Ning did, Xie Moru is not a Bodhisattva, so it is not surprising to have such a reaction.

Xie Moru was quite satisfied with how she treated Aunt Ning like this, if Xie Shangshu personally sent it, then it would be really peaceful in the future.Xie Moru said, "Why don't you tell Xie Zhi and the others that if you succeed in the imperial examination, you can release your aunt, that's also an encouragement."

Xie Shangshu resolutely said, "An aunt is not a aunt, but Azhi and the others have something to do with them. It is also the work of the aunt, and has nothing to do with the aunt. What I say is what I say. As long as I live, whoever breaks this rule, It is unfilial."

It's all about being unfilial, Xie Song hurriedly got up, "My son doesn't dare."

Xie Moru nodded, "I believe in what my grandfather said." This is more or less the same.As for Xie Shangshu's credit, she will slowly observe it in the future.

Speaking of which, there is nothing more to say.Mrs. Xie said, "It's getting late, let's all go back to eat."

Xie Shangshu took a look at Xie Moru and asked, "Do you want to meet Master Ning?"

Xie Moru said, "Lord Ning probably doesn't want to see me."

Xie Shangshu smiled, "Yes."

In the past, Mrs. Xie still felt that her IQ was sufficient, but today she felt that she was a little slow to react. She said, "Master Ning will come today?" If your lord knows that Mrs. Ning asked Xie Moru to put on the label of murdering the Fang family, this kind of suspect is not easy to be, and lord Ning will definitely come to clarify.

Xie Shangshu nodded, "Take the children to eat first, I will sit in the study for a while."

Mrs. Xie stopped talking, and said, "I'll ask the maid to bring you the meal." You can't go hungry when you're old.

Mrs. Ning came very quickly. As soon as Mrs. Xie and her party arrived at the Songbaiyuan, the mother-in-law reported that Mrs. Ning had arrived, and Mrs. Xie directly ordered someone to take Mrs. Ning to the study.

Master Ning understands very well that he didn't ask to see Xie Moru like Mrs. Ning did. Xie Moru is really a soft persimmon, it doesn't matter if you pinch it, it's obvious that the family is a diamond, and it's such a little girl, win, lose face, lose Yes, even more shameless.

Lord Ning only talks to Xie Shangshu, this old man who came from Tanhua is quite handsome, even if he is a grandfather now, he is also a handsome old man, now, when he enters the house, the handsome old man is full of guilt, "Return Everyone heard what my mother-in-law did today, my brother has no face to see Brother Xie, and I came here today to apologize to Brother Xie." As he said that, he bowed his body.

Before Lord Ning bowed down, Shangshu Xie hurriedly supported him and helped him to sit down. Shangshu Xie also said earnestly, "Brother, don't do this, it would make Brother Yu feel ashamed. It's still Brother Yu who doesn't manage the family strictly, because you and I I have been friends with my family for many years... Sigh, I can't describe it in words. I know best about my brother's disposition. What has this matter to do with you? They are younger brothers and sisters. I believe that they came here today with good intentions. It's probably because they didn't pay attention to what they said. My eldest granddaughter misunderstood."

Lord Ning sighed, "Back then I was sent into exile because of the matter of the eldest princess. Today, the eldest princess is such a descendant, but she gave birth to that woman and offended the eldest girl. At first, my daughter was arrogant If I lose the etiquette, even if I consider myself upright, I can let others know, and they will inevitably misunderstand me. If others misunderstand, I will not care about it. If the eldest girl suspects that the Ning family has other ideas, I think, even if I say it Poisonous oath, there are previous events, I am afraid that the eldest girl will not believe it. But, if the eldest lady does not believe in me, she should trust her majesty. Your majesty has been taught by the eldest princess since she was a child, and the eldest princess has the kindness to raise your majesty. No matter what, His Majesty will protect the madam and the young lady."

"It's me, even after many years, I can still feel my conscience and say that the dispute with the eldest princess back then was just a dispute over etiquette." Lord Ning said in a deep voice, "Ning also admires the eldest princess herself. .”

If Xie Moru is here, you will know what the gap is.

This is the gap between Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Ning, and also the gap between the housewives and court officials.

Listening to Mrs. Ning's mouth full of the princess's words, Xie Shangshu secretly sighed, it really is a hit.

Why did Xie Moru want to uncover the events of the past, is it just to show off her extraordinary IQ?Or, to drive apart the Xie Ning family?

Xie Moru did both.However, it seems that Xie Moru's purpose is not limited to this.

One hit must be hit.

Yes, just like Master Ning, he doesn’t need to say anything about Xie Moru, just remind Xie Shangshu that Xie Moru has the blood of the eldest princess and the Fang family, even if Xie Moru has great skills, even if he is afraid of Xie Shangshu. Don't worry about Xie Moru, you know what the Xie family did before and after His Majesty came to power.On this point, the Xie family had to be jealous of Xie Moru.

If it weren't for what Xie Moru said earlier, it has nothing to do with right or wrong, only success or failure.Xie Shangshu was really worried that Xie Moru would know the old things back then, but Xie Moru gave him the truth first, and today Master Ning mentioned the year when the Eldest Princess was back then, Xie Shangshu was extraordinarily secure.

It turned out that Xie Moru's ultimate goal was here.

She told herself plainly, I know that you were at odds with the Eldest Princess back then, I know that you did not choose the Eldest Princess back then, and you placed your bargaining chips on the present... Xie Moru knows all about this.However, in Xie Moru's view, this choice is not even a mistake, let alone hatred.She even repeatedly emphasized that her surname is Xie.

It turned out that Xie Moru was reassuring himself.Xie Moru gave him the answer in advance for those things that others would use to drive a wedge between Xie Moru and the Xie family.

Where there is taboo, it must be its weakness, find out his weakness, and hit it with one blow.

It seems that Xie Moru saw the weakness between her and the family, and then repaired it.

When Master Ning left, he was still very personable, living up to his reputation as a veteran.Xie Shangshu stood at the hanging flower door of the study, with a waning moon hanging high in the night sky, until Mr. Ning gradually drifted away under the guidance of the servant, turned the corner and disappeared, Xie Shangshu said, "Go back."

To fight against the outside world, you must first secure the inside. Xie Moru has already repaired his weakness, so what will you do next?
