Chapter 150

After leaving Shangshu Mansion, Mother Sheng's strong smile collapsed.

After getting into the carriage, she took a sip of herbal tea to calm down, then panted and said, "I didn't expect this to be a lady who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. What a waste of time."

"Girls of many aristocratic clans are like this." Sheng Fu said lightly, "I have a few younger sisters from my colleagues who are also pampered like this."

"It's crazy. When they marry their daughters and younger sisters, they will regret it. I think how much my mother suffered for this." Sheng's mother said.

Sheng Fu patted Sheng's mother's chest to comfort him: "Mother calm down first. At worst, I won't think about thanking the second girl."

"You said this mother remembered. Did you hear what she said just now?" Mother Sheng looked at Sheng Fuqing, "The fifth princess asked someone to beat her up like that, she has such a vicious heart."

"As for the Qiu family's affairs, helping is based on affection and not helping is duty. In other words, if you had married her long ago and encountered the Qiu family's situation, Mother would never ask you to help."

Sheng's mother was even more dissatisfied with Fu Zhaoyao, "She only asks for so many sisters. If she becomes a relative, she still doesn't know how to subsidize her mother and concubine's natal family in the future."

"Mother, don't worry, my son will never agree with her to do this. Although the fifth princess is stubborn, she will not make trouble if she is married and obeys her husband."

Mother Sheng felt that something was wrong, she looked at her son suspiciously, and said:
"Baby, why do you always talk to her? Tell mother honestly, have you taken a fancy to her?"

"In terms of official career, the fifth princess is beneficial to my son. Moreover, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, my son really doesn't want to miss it." Sheng Fu said, holding Sheng's mother's arm lightly.

He had a pleading look on his face, which made Sheng's mother's heart soften.

Sheng Fuqing said again: "Mother's methods are so powerful, she was able to train Ji Fu well in the past, and she will definitely be able to train Fu Zhaoyao well in the future."

Seeing that Sheng Fuqing seemed to really like Fu Zhaoyao, Sheng's mother felt sore, but she couldn't help her son act like a baby, so she had to agree.

"Okay, okay, mother promises you. Another day, mother will hold a banquet at the house and pass a post to the fifth princess. At least let mother see if she has the value of being trained."

On the other side, after seeing off the Sheng family's mother and son, Wei hurriedly took Xie Shuhui back to her room, and called the government doctor over.

The government doctor applied medicine for her, left after leaving the wound medicine.

Wei looked at Xie Shuhui with a distressed face, and said, "Then Fu Zhaoyao is really uneducated. After all, she is also a princess, and she beat you openly!"

"Hui'er, what you said before is true? It's really your sister, and she's playing tricks in front of Fu Zhaoyao again, so as to drive a wedge between your sisters?"

Xie Shuhui said angrily: "Mother, what are you talking about? When did I lie to you! I was wronged to death today. I went to the palace to explain to the fifth princess, but she just ordered someone to beat me. I put When the truth is told, she and Concubine Xian don't believe anyone, and Concubine Xian also said that I slandered members of the royal family and asked someone to slap me twenty times."

"No reason!"

Wei slapped the case, "Mother will take you to seek justice! Take Xie Tinglan to Zhongcui Palace and confront her face to face! This time, I must give her some color!"

Why is Xie Shuhui willing? Isn't this Qing waiting to be exposed?

She stopped Wei Shi and said, "Mother, I can't. If it was okay before, but now Xie Tinglan is the crown princess. The emperor and the imperial concubine will definitely protect her. Maybe at that time they will forcibly commit crimes." , crowned on my head."

"Is it possible that you have suffered this grievance..."

Xie Shuhui was silent.

Wei Shi was so distressed that he stepped forward and hugged his daughter into his arms.

Angrily said: "I really don't know, what kind of luck did Xie Tinglan get. He was considered by the emperor to be the crown prince... My mother said that Hui'er is more worthy of the crown prince than her."

Xie Shuhui was buried in Wei's arms with a cold expression.

No matter what, she would not let Xie Tinglan marry the prince as he wished.

Absolutely not!

Bixiaoyuan

Xie Tinglan was studying etiquette with the nanny who came from the palace during this period, and there were a lot of trivial matters, so she hardly had time to go out.

On this day, after the mother of etiquette left, Yuxiu ran in and said to her with a gossipy face:
"Miss, my servant sees that Madam sees that you are going to get married, so I can't help but want to find a marriage for Miss San."

Xie Tinglan was drinking water, heard the words and smiled, put down the teacup and said: "From a prince to a son of an official family all of a sudden, how can Xie Shuhui agree to such a big gap."

"This is not an ordinary person." Yuxiu said: "But the number one scholar from the Sheng family! I heard from the young lady two days ago that the emperor intends to discuss marriage between the number one scholar and the fifth princess. As a result, this number one scholar is really disrespectful. Knowing that she may have to discuss marriage with the fifth princess, she even came to see the third lady..."

"They're a pretty good match."

Xie Tinglan's words made Yuxiu dumbfounded, she blinked blankly, and said hesitantly: "Miss, why do you say that..."

At this time, the matter of the Sheng family has not been exposed.

As early as in the previous life, when Xie Tinglan knew about the Sheng family, it really opened his eyes.

At that time, it was a sensation in Beijing, the daughter of Lord Sheng Fuqing, a minister of the cabinet, actually sued the royal court, accusing her father Sheng Fuqing of killing his wife and daughter.

When the little girl was in her teens, she worked as a dancer for the Jiaofang Division, and was able to get in touch with some officials in the capital, and only then did she reveal the secrets of ten years ago.

Vigorously tore off the mask of the wolf-hearted father.

There are still some twists and turns, the main reason is that Sheng Fuqing married the right minister's granddaughter Lin Wan.

The right minister couldn't afford to lose this person, and did some tricks in it, trying to calm things down.

But because the incident was too big, it couldn't be suppressed, and the emperor discovered the clues.

Prime Minister Right was dismissed from his official position and returned to his hometown for retirement, while Sheng Fuqing was beheaded by Qiu Houwen.

His old mother went blind from crying and said she was dead, but Xie Tinglan heard that she was taken away from the capital by the widowed Lin Wan.

Lin Wan seemed to blame Sheng's mother for the loss of her husband. Anyway, according to what Xie Tinglan heard, Sheng's mother lived a very miserable life in her later years.

The common people only know that Sheng Fuqing killed Fa's wife in order to marry the prime minister's daughter.

But Xie Tinglan knew better, so he knew that neither Sheng Mu nor Sheng Fuqing was a good person.

She was not familiar with Fu Zhaoyao in her previous life, so she naturally didn't know that the emperor wanted to make an engagement between Fu Zhaoyao and Sheng Fuqing.

Now that Sheng Fuqing's mask is still wearing very well, based on time, killing his wife should not be at the moment. Even if Xie Tinglan said that Sheng Fuqing was not good, his credibility is not high.

As long as the mother and daughter of the concubine Xian go to investigate by themselves, and hide Sheng Fuqing, and the wife and daughter find it, everything will be fine.

Xie Tinglan looked at Yuxiu and said with a smile, "You will know later."

next day
After the land enclosure case subsided, Wei Pingsheng's disposal also came down.

This time, he failed to handle the case twice in a row and slandered the prince. The emperor handed over the right of punishment to Fu Pingye.

Fu Pingye also looked at Xie Tinglan's face, and did not embarrass Wei Pingsheng, but relegated him to Weizhou as the prefect.

Victoria is on the border, it is a border town, and the living conditions must be more difficult than those in the relatively affluent Qingzhou.

But Fu Pingye knew that the emperor was preparing to set up a customs city in Victoria, and the border town of Victoria would gradually develop into a trading city in the future.

And if he wants to develop like this, he must have a trustworthy state official. Although Wei Pingsheng was confused about the land enclosure case, he is still shrewd on weekdays.

Before the establishment of Guan City, Wei Pingsheng must suffer some hardships, but after the establishment of Guan City, he will be too busy to touch the ground.

It can be regarded as the anger in Fu Pingye's heart.

After receiving the order, Wei Pingsheng will leave Beijing and return to Qingzhou to make preparations in the near future. When the alternate magistrate is in place, he will also leave for Weizhou.

Xie Tinglan took a break from his busy schedule the next day and went back to the Duke Protector's Mansion.

Mrs. Wei led her to the front hall, and said with a smile: "I've been wanting to call you back, but I think you are probably preparing to get married at this time. Your uncle was worried that you were too tired from running around, so he kept saying I'm not looking for you. In the past two days, your sister-in-law and I are preparing a dowry gift list for you."

Mrs. Wei smiled and called for someone to show the brochure to Xie Tinglan.

As the cousin of the Duke Huguo's Mansion, Xie Tinglan also added a dowry to the Duke Huguo's Mansion when he married.

In addition to the ones given by the first and second housekeepers, many others were from the old lady Wei Qin, who had been prepared for Xie Tinglan long ago.

After sorting out two whole booklets, I couldn't finish flipping through them. There are countless rare treasures, which is enough to show how rich the Wei family is.

"It's troublesome for my aunt and sister-in-law." Just looking at the thickness of the booklet, Xie Tinglan knew how busy Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Li were who were checking the accounts these days.

She felt sad for a while.

Compared with Wei Shi, who has been busy comforting Xie Shuhui since she got engaged, and has not prepared anything for her.

Xie Tinglan's biological mother was actually no match for her aunt and cousin who were separated from her by one floor.

Seeing Xie Tinglan's head hanging down, Mrs. Wei also guessed that she probably thought that Mrs. Wei was a little uncomfortable, and said quickly: "In less than three months, there will be a happy day, don't make some things hurt some people. Heart. Your mother is confused, your uncle and I have always treated you as our own daughter, at worst you will call me mother in the future."

Xie Tinglan couldn't help laughing, and seeing a smile on her face, Mrs. Wei showed off.

"what's the topic."

Just as he was talking, Wei Qingyun led Wei Pingsheng and Wei Jinyu in.

Mrs. Wei didn't even get up, she waved to Wei Qingyun to let him sit beside her, and poured him a cup of tea.

Said: "Show Xing Xing the dowry book that Yao'er and I drew up."

"It's so fast..." Wei Qingyun smiled, looking at Xie Tinglan as if he was reminiscing about something.

"In the blink of an eye, even the stars are going to get married... Your mother probably married Xie Boming at this age."

The smile on Wei Qingyun's face faded.

In his memory, his younger sister was bright and docile before they got married, but after that, Wei Langhua really seemed to be a different person.

Wei Qingyun sighed, and said: "Xing Xing, after marrying into the East Palace, no matter what, don't wrong yourself."

Even if you marry the prince, you can't be wronged.

Wei Pingsheng lowered his head guiltily, "Uncle is not good, if uncle investigates the case of land enclosure before, maybe he won't offend the prince because of it."

If Fu Pingye hated Xie Tinglan because of this, and treated her badly after marriage, Wei Pingye would wish to kill his former self just thinking about it.

Xie Tinglan thought to himself, the second uncle didn't know that the reason why he escaped was because Fu Pingye did it for her sake.

The whole family is probably worried that Fu Pingye will treat him coldly after marriage because of Wei Pingsheng.

Xie Tinglan said with a smile: "The crown prince treated uncle lightly this time, which should be the reason why he didn't blame uncle too much. Moreover, His Majesty must have asked the crown prince for his opinion when choosing a concubine for the crown prince. The prince should be satisfied with me."

It also makes sense.

Mrs. Wei turned around on Xie Tinglan's face, and her eyes suddenly fell on her bun.

"The hairpin on Xingxing's head..."

Xie Tinglan was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously helped her, thinking that the hairpin was loose, and carefully pushed it in.

Mrs. Wei said with a smile: "I haven't seen Xing Xing wear this hairpin before. This shape is really unique. Is it an animal?"

On weekdays, the hairpins they use are all carved with patterns like auspicious clouds and flowers, even animals... so that they can't even see any animals.

Xie Tinglan smiled and said, "It's a fox."

Sitting next to her, Wei Jinyu took a closer look, and clicked his tongue in disgust.

"Xing Xing, the hairpin you ordered in that jewelry workshop, the carving is too rough. The jade has been ruined."

"I think the carving is pretty good."

Mrs. Wei's eyes flashed.

"By the way." She interrupted Wei Jinyu who wanted to say something more.

"Xing Xing, your grandmother has been awake for longer these days. Auntie will take you there to see your grandmother later. It's better for you to tell her yourself the news of your marriage."

The smile on Xie Tinglan's face grew stronger, and he nodded vigorously in response.

After a while, the maid arranged by Mrs. Wei came to report that Mrs. Wei had woken up.

A group of people went to the Longevity Hall.

Xie Tinglan followed Mrs. Wei, asked about Mrs. Wei's recent situation, and then said: "Auntie, there is a doctor beside me who is very skilled in medicine. I want him to show my grandmother. Maybe he can make my grandmother feel better. faster."

In her previous life, she also asked Xu Shishi to take care of Mrs. Wei until she was seriously ill in bed, and Xu Shishi never left.

Before the old lady fell ill, Xu Shishi kept telling her that the old lady was fine.

After the old lady fell ill, Xu Shishi tried his best, but was still helpless.

Xie Tinglan knew that he had tried his best, so he didn't make it difficult for him anymore, and only asked him to try his best to help the old lady feel better.

The three brothers and sisters Wei Qingyun also began to look for other doctors to see the old lady.

Until the old lady passed away.

When Xie Tinglan felt something was wrong later on, he could only suspect that it was a chronic poison, and the drug fell on Mrs. Wei who was about to recover.

It was probably some kind of secret drug that fooled Xu Shishi.

Xie Tinglan wanted to do her best in this life and remind Xu Shishi to be vigilant about these things earlier.

If grandma still goes this time, it can only be God's will.

Mrs. Wei nodded her head in response.

When we arrived at the Longevity Hall, Mrs. Wei was indeed awake.

She drank the medicine obediently this time, and when she saw them coming in, she called Xie Tinglan to sit beside her.

"Xiangma said, Xing Xing has good news for me, what kind of good news is it?"

Madam Wei looked curious.

No wonder drinking medicine is so refreshing, Xiangmao must have used this to coax the old lady.

Everyone else in the room laughed.

Xie Tinglan also smiled and put his hand on the back of Mrs. Wei's, and said softly, "Grandma, I'm getting married."

Madam Wei looked at her face and suddenly froze.

She didn't respond, and the smile on Xie Tinglan's face gradually faded.

She frowned worriedly.

"grandmother……?"

Madam Wei suddenly let out a sharp cry.
