Chapter 71
"Okay! Of course!" Xie Boming's heart rang loudly, "Brother, do you miss Hua'er and Xingxing? In the coming New Year's Day, brother can come to the house at any time!"

"Forget it, I think it may not be very convenient for your family recently." Wei Qingyun said coolly, "If I want to see them then I will send a carriage to pick them up."

After finishing speaking, Wei Qingyun went down the stone steps and boarded the carriage parked under the palace wall, and the coachman drove away with a whip.

Xie Boming sneaked into the carriage in desperation, avoiding people, his complexion immediately darkened, and he punched the table hard with one hand, shaking the body of the groom outside the carriage.

"Wei Qingyun—"

Xie Boming knew very well that Wei Qingyun must have premeditated it, and he was still wondering why the Wei family didn't bother him after the Ji family's incident was exposed.

At that time, Xie Boming prepared a lot of arguments, but they were useless. He thought that the members of the Wei family had changed their temper. Who knew that Wei Qingyun was waiting for him here!
It was said that Wei Qingyun didn't know about Mrs. Xie before, and Xie Boming wouldn't believe it even if he killed him. Everyone in the Wei family is very narrow-minded. Wei Qingyun probably thought about catching him and Xie's family for a long time. Once, so that he would be caught off guard, unprepared, and could only be beaten passively.

What a Wei family!

In Xie's Bixiao courtyard, Yuxiu received a note from the gatekeeper, opened it to read it, and handed it to Xie Tinglan to enter.

"Miss, someone close to the Elder Master sent a letter saying that the matter is over." Yuxiu handed the note to Xie Tinglan, she glanced at it, and curled her lips silently.

So he gave the note to Yuxiu and asked her to put it in the incense burner and burn it.

"Did there be any movement in Chu Yuge and Ruyi Hall last night?" Xie Tinglan held the brush in one hand, covered his wide sleeve with the other hand, hung his wrists and elbows, and wrote a word on the paper.

Yuxiu stared at it seriously, and said: "Ruyi Pavilion has been in trouble all night, and the servants heard that a lot of broken things were thrown out. It is estimated that the good things added by Madam after she came to power were all smashed by the third lady yesterday. Madam Yesterday I rested at Ruyi Hall."

Xie Tinglan smiled sullenly, and said: "That's weird, the two of them are quite calm, I thought there would be no peace today."

"What the crown prince does has nothing to do with the young lady. The third lady has no ability to settle accounts with the crown prince, so she will bully the young lady." Yuxiu snorted.

"I don't know what the third lady said to the crown prince last night, and she didn't go to the banquet that the crown prince beat up." Yuxiu was curious, but at the same time couldn't help gloating.

Xie Tinglan was about to speak, but when he raised his eyes, he suddenly looked out from under the window and saw the porter leading a man dressed as a guard hurriedly through the courtyard.

She pursed her slightly parted lips again, and put down the pen in her hand.

The door of the study room was open, and through the screen and the hollowed-out partition, Bai Rui, the gatekeeper, could be heard talking to someone who came.

Bai Rui: "Who is this?" She looked towards the porter and said, "Our lady is reading and writing, so please don't disturb me."

"Please also ask the girl to go in and report. This is someone sent by Shuntian Mansion. He said... the old lady's case is already under trial. To prevent the adults in the mansion from complaining about the trial result, I specially invite someone to go and have a look." The porter clasped his fists to Bai Rui and said in a low voice.

After all, it is not a glorious thing for an old lady to be imprisoned. The people in the house have bad mouths, and they are afraid of being spread indiscriminately. The less they know, the better.

Bai Rui's eyes flashed, she bowed to the two of them, and said: "You two wait a moment, I will go in and report to Miss now."

She went back to the back room and conveyed the concierge's words to Xie Tinglan.

Xie Tinglan put down the brush, nodded slightly at Bai Rui, "Tell the messenger that I will go to Shuntian Mansion right away, and then have the carriage ready."

"Yes, ma'am."

Xie Tinglan took some effort to change her clothes, and when she arrived at the gate of Xie's mansion, the carriage was already ready, and no one else was seen.

The concierge said that Mrs. Xie and Mr. and Mrs. Xie Poming had already passed by.

The carriage hurried forward and stopped in front of Shuntian Mansion after a quarter of an hour.

The yamen servants in the mansion led the way and brought Xie Tinglan to the lobby of Shuntian Mansion where the case was being tried.

The emperor gave the Xie family a little face, but he also cared about the face of the court officials, so he didn't open the trial of the case.

But because of this, when Xie Tinglan arrived, the situation was chaotic.

Old Mrs. Xie grabbed Mrs. Xie's hair and smashed the person's head on the ground, spitting out the incomprehensible native dialect as he smashed it.

When Xie Tinglan came to the threshold, he paused and frowned fiercely.

Yuxiu's almond-shaped eyes widened, and she said angrily: "Hey, this is in court, how can the old man..."

It is estimated that Mrs. Xie had just launched an attack. Xie Boming was unprepared for a moment, and when Mrs. Xie was knocked twice, he quickly reacted.

Holding the old father's waist, he dragged him back.

The yamen servants on the side also rushed forward, and restrained the red-eyed old man together.

The old lady's crying eyes were swollen like walnuts, and she lost control, so she rubbed back against her body in fear.

"I know I'm wrong! I know I'm wrong! I won't dare again next time! I won't dare again!" She repeated in her mouth.

Gu Fucheng was dumbfounded as he watched from the side, he swallowed, and said to Xie Boming: "Master Shangshu, Lingtang doesn't know where this is, you don't know it! How can the court be so presumptuous!"

Xie Boming had a helpless face, "Master Gu, forgive me, my father was angry, it was not intentional."

He secretly glanced at the old man, the old man Xie calmed down after panting, and apologized to the official, almost flattering.

Xie Boming listened quietly at first, but after listening to a few words, he felt something was wrong and wanted to interrupt, but he was not as quick as Mr. Xie.

He was the one who said the bad money thing.

Xie Boming didn't catch his breath, he took a few steps back, and was supported by the yamen servant behind him.

The rest of the people present all lowered their eyes, looking at their noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, minds, and hearts. They seemed to have no reaction, but they were all taken aback in their hearts. .

Gu Fucheng laughed angrily, "Do you know what is the crime of blatantly bribing court officials? Your son is right behind you, why don't you ask him to talk about it!"

Gu Fucheng's face was serious, and the official authority suddenly rose. Mr. Xie bent his knees and almost knelt down for him on the spot. His old face turned pale with fright, and he quickly hid behind Xie Boming.

Xie Boming made a decisive decision, "Father, you are so busy that you have lost your head. I'll ask someone to take you to the small seat in the back hall and rest for a while. I'll do my mother's business."

After finishing speaking, he gave the accompanying boy a look and asked the boy to lead the old man out of the court.

The boy went out and greeted Xie Tinglan. Gu Fucheng, who was tortured by two rough men from the countryside, only noticed Xie Tinglan.

"Come in, Mr. County."

He turned his head and told Zhizhong: "Go and ask Mr. Fu Yin to come."
