Chapter 2 Doubt
"What's the point of making a fuss on the second day of your wedding? If word spreads, what will others think of our palace?"
The old lady walked in shakily with the support of the maid.
Although the old lady is old, her eyes are still sharp.
There were children on both sides of Xie Lingyu and Mrs. Song, and she also understood the whole story.
"Even if he is adopted to Leng Yu, Leng Yu will naturally have the biggest opinion. Mrs. Song, please stop making such nonsense."
Xie Lingyu had a genuine smile in her eyes.
Although it was just because of her status as the legitimate daughter of the Xie family, the old lady was one of the few people in the entire Hou family who had good intentions towards her.
In the previous life, it was only after the old lady left that Mrs. Song and Xu Yinghuai and Xie Ning dared to deal with her openly.
"Old Madam, these twins have their fortunes calculated, and they are destined to be rich and wealthy. Don't miss out on important events just because of Leng Yu's temporary preference!"
The Song family couldn't clearly explain the identity of the twins.
After all, the old lady is the most rigid and strict person, and she values concubines.
If they knew that Xu Yinghuai had a child with someone before marrying his wife, they would be so angry that they could directly remove Xu Yinghuai from the family tree.
After all, it was all the fault of the concubine of the Xie family.
If it weren't for that little bitch's hoof hook, how could Huai'er be so ignorant?
How could she face such an embarrassing scene now?
If Xie Ning is just the daughter of an ordinary family, she may be brought into the house as a concubine or raised outside, there are many ways to hide it, but she is the concubine of the Xie family.
The five great families in Shengjing - Xie Pei, Chen Liulu.
The Xie family is the leader.
The whole family is proud.
The Xie family also has ancestral precepts.
Xie's daughter never becomes a concubine.
The only precedent for concubines was that during the reign of the late emperor, the eldest daughter of the Xie family entered the palace as a noble concubine three years after the death of the late queen, and became the new queen one month later.
The Queen Xie back then is now the Queen Mother Xie.Although she has no heirs, her status is still respected, and His Majesty regards her as his own mother.
From then on, no one dared to ask Xie's daughter to be a concubine.
After all, who dares to compare with the Emperor?
"Good fortune?" The old lady's eyes paused on the twins for a moment.
As time goes by, the old lady naturally believes in these things as she worships Buddha every day.
Anyway, the Hou family can raise two children, which is more than enough.
"Then just stay in the house."
The old lady finished speaking.
Mrs. Song was immediately happy.
Xie Lingyu looked at Xu Jiaxu's anxious and inferior eyes and gave him a comforting look.
"Old madam, I remember that the eldest family only has one child. It would be better to give the twins to the eldest family. I am still young and don't know how to raise children. The two children are much more practical. Jiaxu is older, smarter and wiser. Etiquette and good education.”
The eldest son was a concubine named Xu Hanhai.
The Marquis and the Song family are just matchmakers and have no feelings. The Marquis has another sweetheart.
The old lady, who was the legitimate eldest son, pressed the marquis into the Song family's courtyard several times, but still let the concubine come out.
As soon as the news came back that the Marquis had died in battle, the Song Dynasty used extremely ruthless means to quickly end the concubine's life, saying that the Marquis was alone in the underworld and asked her to keep him company.
Being so small-minded once became a joke among the ladies of Shengjing.
However, the Song family could control the concubines at will, but they could not attack Xu Hanhai openly.
It can be said that the Song family regarded Da Fang as a thorn in his side and wished he could get rid of it as soon as possible.
As soon as Xie Lingyu mentioned this matter, he felt Song's cruel eyes falling on him.
But why would Xie Lingyu care.
"That's fine. I think this child is indeed much smarter than the twins."
Seeing that Mrs. Song wanted to refute again, the old lady said again.
"Huai'er and Yu'er have just gotten married. They are young and in good health. They will have more children in the future. Even if you want to marry each other, you are not in a hurry. Or do you have something to hide?"
Ruju's eyes fell on Mrs. Song, as if he had read through her thoughts, making her tremble in shock.
Mrs. Song looked at the old lady and her scalp tightened.
But this was about the identity of her precious grandson, and she couldn't give in.
"Then there's no need to give her a big house, just stay with me to take care of her."
Xie Lingyu chuckled, seemingly saying something unintentionally.
"I'm willing to raise him even if he has no name or status. It seems true to the rumors. Mother loves children very much."
During those years when the Song family had nothing to do, they searched everywhere for home remedies and things to help them have children, and the house was filled with children's toys.
These things made Xuanwuhou Mansion a joke.
It was also the old lady's timely handling that prevented Marquis Xuanwu from getting the reputation of doting on his concubines and destroying his wives.
The old lady also thought about this matter, her eyes turned cold immediately, and she could not refuse and said: "Send the two children to the big house."
"Now Huai'er has just gone to Northern Xinjiang to take up his post. Tomorrow you will lead the female family members and grandchildren of the first and second bedrooms to Kaibao Temple to pray for Huai'er and offer sacrifices to the dead souls."
After leaving a few instructions, the old lady complained that she had a headache and went back to her room.
Seeing the old lady's maid taking the twins away, Mrs. Song was so distraught that she lost her balance and fell back on her chair.
her grandson.
Her precious grandson became the eldest child.
It's not surprising that Mrs. Song was like this, after all, Xu Yinghuai specifically emphasized the identity of the child before leaving, and even threatened that he would only have children with Xie Ning in this life.
This is the eldest grandson, so the Song family has to care about him.
Xie Lingyu took Xu Jiaxu's hand and prepared to return to her Zhilan Courtyard.
"Thank you Lingyu!!" Mrs. Song roared.
"They are just two children, and you cannot accommodate them. How can you be worthy of my Xuanwuhou Mansion!"
Xie Lingyu turned around and met Song's ferocious and resentful expression. The servants around him were also attracted by Song's voice and looked over.
Xie Lingyu looked confused and innocent.
"What are you saying, mother? I didn't listen to mother. I already agreed to adopt him. It's just that Jiaxu is older, smarter, and well-educated, so I chose him."
"Nonsense, he is not as smart as Brother Qi!" Ms. Song retorted, her grandson was the smartest.
When Mrs. Song raised her head, she saw Xie Lingyu's helpless expression, and then she realized that she had gotten the wrong point.
"Even if you don't want to raise Brother Qi now, why send him to the big house!"
Xie Lingyu smiled, "Isn't this mother, do you like them?" "You have to find a legitimate identity for the child to stay in the house. If the mother doesn't like it, I will take the child back and record the boy as a boy in the mother's courtyard. The girl is recorded as a maid, and after signing the contract, she can serve her mother all the time."
"No, no, no, no!"
Song's eyes were horrified.
If you record it in the main house, as long as it is not listed in the family tree, you can still find a reason to get it back. If it is a slave child, it will be over.
"Then the kid will go back to his room to make arrangements for tomorrow's trip."
Seeing Xie Lingyu's figure walking further and further away, Mrs. Song realized that she had been led by Xie Lingyu. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She suddenly waved her hand and swept the teacup on her hand to the ground, causing hot tea to splash.
"Ah, scald, scald, scald... someone, come quickly, didn't you see that I was burned?"
Mrs. Song held her reddish hands and howled.
On the way back to Zhilan Courtyard.
Xu Jiaxu's heart beat very fast and he followed Xie Lingyu step by step.
He was both happy and frightened.
Still mixed with confusion.
Why him?
"Madam, they are just two children. Why do you have a problem with Madam Hou because of this?"
Tao Yuexin was outspoken and asked directly regardless of Xu Jiaxu's presence.
From Taoyue's point of view, it was really inappropriate to have an argument with her mother-in-law on the second day after her wedding, just because of some trivial matter.
Her wife has always been kind-hearted and not intolerant.
Even for a concubine like Miss Ning who suddenly appeared, the master planned to give her some money to send her away, but the lady accepted her kindly.
Even if you don't like children, just find a few nannies to solve the problem.
"How stupid. Madam's legitimate son is the direct grandson of the Xie family. Not everyone is worthy of this noble status."
He Yue said.
He Yue's mind was sharp, and she knew all the twists and turns in the back house. It was probably because of her unkindness that Mrs. Hou wanted to put the twins under her name so forcefully.
"He Yue is smart, Tao Yue, you should learn more."
Taoyue pouted, "Madam, Taoyue knows she is stupid."
"You know you're stupid but you still don't study."
"Madam, please don't embarrass me. I have a headache when I see the words, but He Yue can't compare to me in settling accounts." Tao Yue looked proud.
Xie Lingyu smiled helplessly.
There are many servants and maids around her, but they are the only two who have followed her since childhood. When she lost power in her previous life, she wanted to send them away, but they were unwilling to leave.
After her death, life was not easy for these two little girls.
He Yue was wrongly accused of stealing by Xie Ning and died inexplicably in prison.
Taoyue was married to a street gangster by Xie Ning and was beaten to death by the man.
Xie Ling's jade eyes were filled with coldness.
The reason why Xu Yinghuai and Xie Ning dared to stay away for more than ten years without returning was because she was taking care of the huge Hou Mansion in the rear.
He managed the Hou Mansion for Xu Yinghuai and helped Xie Ning educate his children.
They don't have to do anything, they have a steady stream of money.
Now that the children have been sent to the big house, she will no longer care about the life and death of other people in the Hou Mansion.
She didn't believe it. Those two people were not in a hurry. She was just afraid that they would have to return before they reached Jiangnan.
She wanted to force Xu Yinghuai to return to Beijing.
Xie Ning was forced to admit that she had an affair without a matchmaker, and that she had committed adultery with an outsider and had children before marriage.
The miserable scene of the Xie family's previous life.
As the culprits, they also had to understand the pain she had suffered.
But before that, she still had some doubts.
The more she thought about Xie Ning's weird smile before she died, the more wrong she felt.
Now that I think about it, there are many doubts about Xie Ning's identity.
Her father and mother had a very good relationship. They had been married for many years and had no concubines. However, 15 years ago, a woman suddenly appeared and said that she had an affair with her father. The child was seven years old.
The mother was heartbroken, but managed to accommodate the two of them.
Later, Xie Ning did something wrong, which made his father angry, so he sent the two of them to a village in the countryside to raise them, and they never returned to Beijing for more than ten years.
She actually didn't know the reason why.
A year ago, Xie Ning stood alone in front of the Xie Mansion.
She cried and complained about the difficulty of living in the countryside for more than ten years. Her mother passed away again, so she settled in the house, and no one paid much attention to her identity.
Recalling that Xie Ning's fingers were smooth and tender, and her skin was fair, it was not at all like what she said, chopping wood, boiling water, doing laundry and cooking every day.
Xie Lingyu asked He Yue to arrange for someone to investigate.
"Taoyue, take the list and count all my dowry. If anyone in the house wants to use it, give it to me, but everything must be recorded in the book. The time, place and name must be written clearly, and fingerprints must be pressed to count them as borrowed. Not even a copper plate should be left out.”
"Yes."
Xie Lingyu smiled softly.
She had made an agreement with the old lady. The dowry was all hers and the Marquis's family could not get involved with it.
In her previous life, she did everything for the sake of the Hou Mansion and gave money to anyone who asked for it.
For the sake of Xu Yinghuai and Xu Jiaqi's career, all the treasures and famous paintings she collected were used to build relationships.
This time, I am not afraid that they will not use it, but I am afraid that they will not use it enough.
She made them spit out as much as they took.
"Cash can be given during this period, but the banknotes will be collected first."
It was difficult to transport cash in cash, so the money in Xu Yinghuai and Xie Ning's hands would last for a month at most.
At most one month.
They will go back to Shengjing obediently.
"Have someone remove all the red candles, red beds, and red quilts from the yard. It's all red and it makes people upset."
As soon as Xie Lingyu stepped into Zhilan Courtyard, she couldn't help but lower her eyebrows and raise her forehead, not looking at the red light that filled the courtyard.
If there wouldn't be an argument about changing rooms now, she wouldn't want to sleep in the wedding room.
Taoyue and Heyue looked at each other.
How come they didn't know Madam hated the color red so much before?
