Chapter 47: The Conscience of the Xie Family is Tested

Chang Xi understood, and found an excuse to order Dongli and Xiaotao to do it, sending them both out.

Dongli is a fine person, seeing this, he quickly saluted and retreated.

Xiaotao wanted to ask a few more questions, but when she saw Chang Xi cough lightly, she wisely left.

Seeing that no outsiders were there, Nanny Luo whispered to Chang Xi, "That year, the old man and a few gentlemen all resigned and came back, and the house was very tense, so I remember this incident quite clearly, but No one dares to mention it now, the mansion has already issued a password ban, and their younger generation doesn't know these old things."

Chang Xi didn't expect that the matter of abolishing the prince would involve the Xie family. The whole family resigned and returned to their hometown collectively. But the aristocratic family is dead but not dead, so the Shi family can still be a rich man in a corner.

Chang Xi originally wanted to ask Nanny Luo how the abolition of the prince was a bad thing, but thinking about this question, Nanny Luo might not be able to answer it. It is not easy for her to know these things by herself. More insider secrets, It is impossible for her to know.

The secret will only rot in the stomachs of Mr. Xie and his sons.

"That's really a pity." She sighed falsely.

Nanny Luo also sighed, "Isn't it? Fortunately, the ancestral property is still there, and the Shi family has not collapsed. It's just that it's not as good as it used to be."

"Then the marriage between the Xie and Shi families was also a marriage that was arranged back then?" Chang Xi asked curiously.

Nanny Luo raised her eyebrows and looked at Chang Xi, feeling that she was trying to cover up, but since there were no outsiders here, she dared to say a few more words, "I really don't know the specific engagement time, I just It's just a marriage that was arranged when I was young, it's true, but this Ninth Young Lady Fu Bo died of illness not long after getting married."

Chang Xi didn't care about Nanny Luo's teasing eyes. The more information she knew, the more she could restore the original appearance of the past. Judging from this move, the Xie family and the Shi family should be politically allied, that is, to abolish the princelings. Otherwise, they will not advance and retreat together and marry each other.

It's just that the Shi family paid a more painful price for this matter. So far, they have not been able to breathe a sigh of relief like the Xie family and continue to be officials in the court.

In the long run, the Xie Shi alliance will disintegrate sooner or later. After all, the recovery of the Shi family has not been seen so far. No one is willing to drag forward with a burden. This is a test of the Xie family's conscience.

Putting this question in order, the topic continues to return to the Shi family. The Shi family is now headed by Master Shi Liu.

The first wife of the Nine Young Masters, Mrs. Shi, was his eldest daughter. She was born by his wife, Mrs. Cai. Not good.

Chang Xi saw that Nanny Luo's words were getting more and more biased, so she hurriedly stopped her, "The deceased is already dead, we'd better talk less about this Ninth Young Madam."

She doesn't care what kind of person this Mrs. Shi is. Even if a person who has been bedridden for a long time has any thoughts, her mobility is limited. The biggest reconciliation should be that her husband remarries after her death.

If she wanted to prevent Xie Jin from remarrying after she died, and thus arranged everything behind, then she would have to be called a god-man, and her mind was spent on this, no wonder she died so early.

However, according to the few words she heard about Shi Shi, she doesn't seem like a person with such a firm personality. When she was young, a person with poor health, no matter how deep her thoughts were, she would not have the energy to do these things.

So the hand behind it should not be Shi Shi who died early.

But whether it has anything to do with her remains to be investigated.

If she was still Xie Jin's pawn wife, she was afraid that this person would make another move. It was a matter of her own life, so she had to work hard.

"Tell me about Master Shi Liu's other children."

Nanny Luo hurriedly changed the subject, and secretly rejoiced that she almost slipped her tongue before, why did she mention so many things about the Shi family?

It's just a matter of embarrassing people, after all, who wants to listen to the things of the predecessors?

Besides, Mrs. Shi is really lackluster.

"Master Shi Liu has one wife and four concubines, and he has given birth to five sons and four daughters. He is considered a thriving population..."

Chang Xi listened to the gossip about Mr. Shi Liu, one wife and four concubines, the family is lively enough, the Shi family's family style is obviously not as good as Xie Jiazheng.

Except for the eldest son and eldest daughter who were born to the first wife, the rest were born from concubines.

"In the past, when Mrs. Jiu Shao was still alive, several girls from Shi's mansion often came to visit. Mrs. Shi Liu was generous. Although the other children were not her own, she also raised them under her knees. The relationship is very good.”
