Chapter 496 Are you willing?
Xie Si lowered his eyebrows and couldn't help but say, "But we can't just let the father and daughter in the north control us!"
Old Tutor Xie stroked the cane in his hand, his pair of old and turbid eyes hiding endless calculations and cruelty.
"Of course we can't let them control us..."
"You don't need to worry about this anymore, just go to court with peace of mind."
"Yes, father."
"What about Huai Qing?"
The Prime Minister's wife didn't want to say anything more, but she was really worried about her son.
Her eyes were red. "It's been a long time since I last saw my son..."
"We can't let him stay in the hands of King Zhen forever."
Speaking of Xie Huaiqing, Prime Minister Xie also sighed...
"Not to mention that the Zhenguo Palace is like an iron barrel, just the gate of Chongzhou Prefecture in the north is difficult for our people to enter."
In the past two years, he sent out so many people to cast a wide net, but not a single one came back alive with any news!
Old Master Xie frowned and scolded the Prime Minister's wife, "What a shame to cry like that!"
"Huai Qing must return to the Xie family. If you really have no other options, why not ask Dong Li..."
It’s not that the old man loves this grandson very much, nor is it some stupid talk about blood connection.
It’s just because the old man is old now and doesn’t have enough energy to raise an heir personally.
Xie Huaiqing was his heir whom he had personally raised for more than ten years. If he couldn't find him back, he would not be able to close his eyes even after his death!
Prime Minister Xie was a little hesitant at this moment.
"We still don't know what Dongli is thinking. If we rashly seek cooperation with her over this matter, it may lead to disaster."
Xie Huaiqing is now a big pie, everyone wants to take a bite...
Staying in the north is still the territory of Southern Merchants after all. No matter what Jiang Jichen does, he will never destroy his ancestral business.
But Dongli is different, he is a wolf with a fierce look in his eyes!
Old Master Xie pondered for a moment, "There are wolves in front and tigers behind, so we have to take this road..."
"The people of Dongli have ulterior motives. After all, we don't need to start a war right now. The most important thing is to solve the dilemma right under our noses."
"As for Huai Qing..."
The old man didn't finish his words, he just looked at his daughter-in-law with those scary eyes.
"I...I'll go out and ask the kitchen to make some snacks." The Prime Minister's wife had a gloomy look on her face and forced a smile as she left.
After watching the man walk out of the door, the old man continued, "If Dong Liren's intentions are not pure, then Huai Qing should give up..."
"While I still have energy, I will adopt another one from the Xie family's side branch to teach him."
If Xie Huaiqing returns to the Xie family safely, everything will be fine. If he can't come back...
The Xie family’s foundation must not be destroyed!
Old Master Xie looked at his son deeply and said meaningfully: "I know you don't want to do this, but for the sake of the prosperity of the Xie family, you have to do it even if you are reluctant."
When he sent Xie Yunshan away, the old man knew that his son was just like him, a man who would give up everything to achieve his goals.
If it weren't for the fact that this old man was still of some use in the eyes of the people of the world, he would have been abandoned long ago.
Prime Minister Xie felt a chill on his back and his scalp went numb...
He bowed his head and saluted, his attitude respectful and obedient, "I understand what my father said, and I am willing to sacrifice for the Xie family."
outside the door,
The maid who brought the tea looked up and saw the lady standing in the corridor with tears in her eyes.
She knelt down and tried to salute, but was silently stopped by the lady.
The Prime Minister's wife closed her eyes, suppressed the desolation in her heart and the tears in her eyes, and took the tea from the maid.
"Mammy..." she called softly.
The dowry nanny who had been with her since she was a child replied with some distress: "The old slave is here."
The Prime Minister's wife turned around and faced the door to the study.
She whispered, "Deal with it."
"Yes…"
The nanny watched the lady calmly walk into the study, then looked at the maid who had already collapsed on the ground in fear.
This maid was unlucky. She was the one who came to serve tea and saw the mistress eavesdropping on the master's discussion.
When the lady was in the boudoir, she didn't even dare to watch a chicken being killed, but now she can talk about killing without changing her expression...
This Xie family is a cannibalistic place!
"Mommy..."
The maid grabbed the nanny's clothes and tried to beg for mercy.
She wanted to say that she would keep her mouth shut...
But who would believe it? In this world, only the dead keep their mouths shut.
There is bound to be one more body at the mass grave today.
Princess Nanshang's carriage entered the city on the third day after Song Shen took over as the Minister of Personnel...
This time the princess's motorcade was more grand than usual, and the long motorcade seemed to have no end in sight.
When the princess returns to the capital, the matriarchs of these aristocratic families will certainly welcome her at the city gate.
The wife of Marquis Dingyuan went to the mansion early to call Jiang Anlai.
The little girl blinked her eyes that were too sleepy to open, and complained softly, "I can't hold this position for another day..."
He gets up earlier than the chickens during the morning court and goes to bed later than the dogs after work. Even when he finally gets a day off, he is dragged in to make up the difference.
Jiang An yawned in a very ungraceful manner and leaned on the Marquis's shoulder like a boneless person.
She thought to herself: Sooner or later she will abolish this damn morning court!
"I've met the county lord."
When Jiang An opened his eyes, he saw Song Shen in casual clothes.
"Minister Song..."
"I am just the Left Vice Minister. Lord Song doesn't have to come to see me every time."
She looks tired~
Song Shen smiled, but still looked like an old scholar, "The county lady was personally conferred by His Majesty, even if I am appointed as the Minister, I dare not look down on her."
He has even moved His Majesty out...
The wives of officials who were originally far away from Jiang An were also worried at this moment.
They didn't want to have anything to do with this evil god. They thought he was just from the barbarian land in the north and looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts. However, because of Jiang An's ruthless methods, they dared not say anything and stayed away from him.
But now that Minister Song has said this, it seems that they have been disrespectful to the county lady and His Majesty...
"An An!"
Jiang Ling jumped off the carriage and headed straight towards Jiang An.
His mother... the mistress of the General's Mansion then got out of the car, took a few quick steps and grabbed her lawless son.
She reprimanded in a soft voice, "It's against the rules... You should call her the county lady!"
"I've met the county chief..."
"Ling'er is reckless, please don't blame me, County Lord."
The little girl waved her hands, saying, "Madam, you don't have to worry about these empty formalities. Minister Jiang and I are very familiar with each other, and there are no such rules."
"Sister, you came late today..."
A lady affectionately took the general's wife's arm and took the opportunity to greet Jiang An.
The little girl just nodded and didn't care who she was...
Instead, the general's wife looked suspicious.
These ladies never invite her, let alone visit her, so why are they so enthusiastic today?
Lady Dingyuan Hou looked at the little sheep surrounded by so many ladies and said "tsk tsk" twice, feeling really sorry for our general's wife.
She scolded Jiang An and said jokingly, "Look... the trouble you caused~"
