Marrying into a poor family

The Taoist priest invited by the Xie family was named Yao. He came to the capital to visit an old friend whom he had not seen for a long time, and to meet his children who had grown up.

Of course, Taoist priest Yao did not accept the Xie family's invitation to come and see Feng Shui, because the Xie family had long heard that Taoist priest Yao had a somewhat superior temperament and was not very inviting, so they were not dissatisfied.

The person who came to see Taoist Master Yao for the first time was the family's chief steward, who was also the person Mr. Xie trusted the most.

Of course, he did not see Taoist Master Yao, so he could only tell him that he was not a destined person and would not see him.

After the old man of the Xie family heard about it, he asked his eldest son to invite him, but this time he still didn't see anyone.

Mr. Xie was very angry and decided to ignore the Taoist priest named Yao.

At this time, the second wife's mother-in-law's family came to the door and fiercely demanded an explanation. The men were noisy and the women were making trouble, which made the Xie family restless.

Mr. Xie sent someone to kidnap the second master and asked him to go to the second wife's natal home to pick him up.

However, the second wife's natal brother said that they wanted to reconcile and take back all the second wife's dowry. They also wanted to sue the Xie family's doting concubine to kill his wife.

Mr. Xie had to humbly beg his parents-in-law for favors. The second wife's parents were just showing off. The children were so old and they were about to have grandchildren. Where could Zheng and Li Nong go home?

The eldest wife was also carefully comforting the second wife's sisters-in-law, but the second wife's maiden sister-in-law sarcastically mocked her for not being a good housekeeper and not being a qualified matron.

Mrs. Xie didn't know why recently people kept saying that she was not good at running the house, that she was greedy for Mr. Mo's property, that she had evil intentions, and that she was unkind and unfilial. In short, I don’t know when her reputation gradually became bad.

The second master was also scared and huddled aside, not daring to make a sound. At this moment, Qin Yan rushed in, and he didn't know how she ran out of the yard.

Qin Yan was wearing a floral dress and a pomegranate red skirt, her hair was messy, and she was holding a branch in her hand and banging on the ground or anything around her.

Everyone stopped and looked at her. Qin Yan didn't seem to notice these people. She was singing a tune that no one understood and was about to walk towards the house.

Mr. Xie was so angry that he was about to send someone to take her back to jail. When he saw Li Siniang and Xiaolong chasing after her, they pulled Qin Yan and left.

Mrs. Xie’s second wife’s family looked at each other in confusion, quarreled with each other for a while, and then suddenly said hello and were about to leave.

Mr. Xie originally knew that the in-laws were not sincere in their separation, but he just wanted to give the Xie family a showdown, and then bring the second wife back in a graceful manner.

However, now, Mr. Xie is not sure why they left?

If the Xie family breaks up with each other, they may really become a laughing stock in the eyes of everyone, and even affect their career.

Although he is quite old, he still cannot do without power, and he still wants to move up the ladder and pave the way for his sons and grandsons.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Xie family to reconcile and divorce, just for the sake of a concubine.

The second wife's family left in a hurry regardless of their efforts to stay.

The old man of the Xie family lost his temper and locked the second master in the ancestral hall to reflect.

Then, he ordered the people around him: "Go and get that Huang Jiao'er who messed up our family. I want to see what it is that made our Xie family so restless?"

The third master, who had been silent all this time, said: "Father, why don't you go there in person and invite the Taoist priest to come and have a look at the house. My son always feels that everything is not going well now, and I am afraid there is something weird."

Sanfang has always been silent, so that everyone has habitually ignored the couple.

Later, he proposed to separate the family, but Mr. Xie did not agree. He also said that if he wanted to separate, he would leave the house and have nothing to do with the Xie family in the future. Only then did the third family become honest.

Nowadays, when the third master makes suggestions, Mr. Xie will not ignore him as before, and will even give him a few words of advice no matter what the matter is. "What the third child said makes sense. Father, why don't you go and meet this Taoist priest in person?"

At this time, Taoist priest Yao was playing chess with Xiao Chenyu, and the two had been playing for a day.

"Is it possible that Master Yao is a chess addict and came to the capital to play chess with me?" Xiao Chenyu dropped the last chess piece, ending the chess game.

Taoist priest Yao stood up, moved his hands and feet, smiled and said, "I'm here to meet someone, someone I've been hiding from for many years."

When Taoist priest Yao said this, he said no more, and Xiao Chenyu never asked more questions. He had known Taoist priest Yao since he was fourteen years old. The two of them were both teachers and friends. They understood each other and kept the most comfortable distance from each other.

"If you need my help, Taoist Priest, just ask me." Xiao Chenyu said simply, but sincerely.

Taoist priest Yao naturally understood and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, indicating that he had received Xiao Chenyu's kindness.

"In my whole life, there are only two people I can't let go of, and one is you. I think it would be great if I could help you!" Daoist priest Yao's words made Xiao Chenyu feel a little uncomfortable.

"Taoist Master."

But Xiao Chenyu didn't know what to say?

"Before I came, someone came to inquire about your situation. I thought you probably had a hard time."

Taoist priest Yao was originally from Beijing. Later, for some reasons, he went to Fushui Town in Qijiang County and became the master of Xuanmiao Temple. After so many years, returning to the capital feels like a lifetime ago.

During this meeting, Taoist priest Yao was even thinner and his face was a little sallow. Xiao Chenyu asked him if he was ill, but Taoist priest Yao just smiled and said nothing.

In the past, Daoist Yao and Xiao Chenyu could play chess all day and all night, but now they stopped after just one day, which made Xiao Chenyu feel a little worried and uneasy.

He wanted to invite Taoist priest Yao to live at home, but Taoist priest Yao waved his hand and refused.

At this moment, the old man of the Xie family came to see Taoist Yao in person.

Taoist priest Yao wanted to see him, and Xiao Chenyu followed him. Taoist priest Yao turned around and smiled wickedly at him: "I know why you want to see him?"

Xiao Chenyu shrugged his shoulders, making an indifferent gesture.

He really wanted to meet the old man of the Xie family, the man who became Qin Xiang's husband in his previous life. To be honest, even though it was a lifetime ago, Xiao Chenyu felt uncomfortable, even sour and uncomfortable sometimes.

When Mr. Xie saw a silent young man following Guanzhu Yao, he looked at him curiously, but the man lowered his head and couldn't see clearly what he looked like.

But what he didn't know was that when he started to chat with Guanzhu Yao, the young man looked at him confidently.

Guanzhu Yao did not go to the Xie family, but he talked to the old man of the Xie family for almost half an hour.

After returning home, the old man of the Xie family took the initiative to invite Mrs. Qin Si to the Xie family.

Mrs. Qin Si sat in the room with a dark face, motionless.

"Mother, just go to Xie's house. You can say nothing and leave everything to us. But after all, you are the mother and sister Qin Yan's aunt, so you still have to come forward."

Seeing that her mother-in-law was silent and her husband Qin Yaozu also bowed his head and remained silent, Mrs. Liu had no choice but to speak to break the dull atmosphere.
