The lucky little prince's doting wife

Chapter 688 Thank you, Dad. Choice is very important.

Madam Miao and Old Lady Wang were confused, and they couldn't tell what they were feeling. On Father Lin's side, they felt that Marquis Jingguo deserved it. Who asked you to follow Wei Shengwen? But looking at the young lady of the Marquis's Mansion just now, Madam Miao and Old Lady Wang felt sympathy for her. She was just an unmarried girl.

"Life will get better after a while," Old Lady Wang said to Mrs. Miao, "It won't stay this chaotic forever."

Mrs. Miao closed the curtains of the car tightly, stopped looking outside, and said to Mrs. Wang, "I can't control whether the world is in chaos or not. I just want my little Jiuer to come back soon."

Old Lady Wang patted Madam Miao's hand and said, "No matter who gets into trouble, Xiao Jiu'er won't get into trouble, so don't worry."

Mrs. Miao thought that what her mother-in-law said was right. Her ninth daughter was the most blessed. Since Grandma Jin said so, she couldn't be wrong.

"Father?" In another carriage, Xie Shiquan grabbed Old Man Xie's sleeve tightly and called out to him in a low voice.

Old Man Xie simply opened the car window and let Xie Shiquan see the people in the Jingguo Marquis Mansion who had been taken prisoners.

The old lady of Jingguohou is over 70 years old this year, with white hair and a very wealthy appearance. Judging from her appearance, she is the kind of kind old lady who is very popular with children.

"She is Old Lady Liu from the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion," Old Man Xie said to Xie Shiquan.

Xie Shiquan held onto the car window with his hands, staring blankly at the old lady who was walking with the support of two women, her face full of tears.

Xie Shiquan looked for a long time. There were babies in the women's arms in the team. Xie Shiquan counted them and found that there were three babies. No matter how the adults cried and how they protested, the three babies were sleeping soundly at this moment. However, Xie Shiquan didn't know what fate they would face in the future.

He heard from Wen Xiao that if the children of a family whose property was confiscated were not beheaded, they would become slaves, just like him, Wen Shan, Wen Jia, and Xiao An, who were dragged to the slave market to be sold.

Xie Shiquan looked at Old Man Xie again and asked in a low voice: "Will they all die?"

Father Xie: "It's hard to say now. The men will die, and the women may be sent to the music school."

Xie Shiquan: "What about the child?"

Father Xie: "Become a slave."

It was just as Wen Xiao said! Xie Shiquan pursed his lips and asked again: "Babies can't even walk, do they have to be slaves too? They can't work either."

Father Xie said: "The court will raise them up a little, and then make them slaves."

Such young children are too young to remember anything, and some of them will be taken away by their mothers who are sent to the music school, and when they are raised in the music school to a certain age, they will be sold as slaves. Or they will simply be castrated and sent to the palace to be eunuchs. In order to prevent the children from being taught by their mothers and female elders and resenting the royal family, such children will be handed over to eunuchs to be raised.

Old Man Xie couldn't tell which of these two methods was more cruel.

"So the choice is very important," Father Xie said to Xie Shiquan, "Marquis Jingguo chose Wei Shengwen, so now he should bear the consequences of Wei Shengwen's failure. It is only natural."

Old Man Xie spoke very straightforwardly, so Xie Shiquan understood. Xie Shiquan rubbed his nose and asked, "Doesn't the old lady just now care about the Marquis of Jingguo?"

This is the innocence of a child. If Xie Shiquan wants to do something, he definitely can't do it without the approval of his father and mother.

Old Man Xie smiled and said, "The old lady is old and doesn't care about outside affairs anymore."

A woman's husband dies and she obeys her son. How can Old Lady Liu control what Marquis Jingguo wants to do? If Marquis Jingguo doesn't tell her, Old Lady Liu might be escorted to prison by soldiers without any dignity at all, and then she will know a little about what her son has done.

Yes, I don’t know everything yet, I just know a little bit…

"Remember what your father said," Father Xie looked at Xie Shiquan and whispered, "Choice is very important, so when you have to choose what to do in a situation, you must think clearly before making a decision."

Xie Shiquan: "What if I don't know how to choose?"

When his mother and sisters asked him what he wanted to eat, he didn't know what to choose. Father Xie: "Then don't get involved in this matter."

Xie Shiquan: "But what if I can't escape?"

Father Xie: "Then let's gamble. What else can we do? You are not smart enough."

Xie Shiquan: "..."

Just because he doesn't like reading, does that mean he is a fool?
Father Xie looked at his angry son, and suddenly sighed and said, "Just try to be a good person and have a clear conscience."

Xie Shiquan: "Of course I am a good person. How can I not be a good person?"

Old Man Xie smiled again. When his son grows up, he will know that being a good person and living a life with a clear conscience is really a difficult thing.

Xie Shiquan leaned on the car window and looked out. The people from the Marquis of Jingguo Mansion had not yet left. Looking at them, Xie Shiquan muttered softly, "Dad, fortunately our family is fine. We just need to wait for my ninth sister and my three brothers-in-law to come back, and then we can be reunited as a family."

Father Xie: “Yeah.”

"Eldest sister said that when Ninth sister comes back, Qiaojie will get married," Xie Shiquan muttered, looking unhappy, "Qiaojie is leaving the capital, and I will hardly see her in the future."

Old Man Xie wanted to say that even if you two were in the capital, you would not be able to see Qiaojie many times a year.

Xie Shiquan: "I also heard Her Royal Highness the Princess tell my elder sister that if Qiaojie's marriage is not settled, she will find a good one for her."

Old Man Xie really didn't know about this. "What did your eldest sister say?" Old Man Xie asked.

Xie Shiquan: "My eldest sister said that Qiaojie's marriage has been decided. She is very fond of her and they are in love with each other. Your Highness the Princess will not mention this matter anymore."

"How many times has Qiaojie met with that person? How come they fell in love with each other?" Xie Shiquan asked, "I haven't heard Qiaojie say that."

Father Xie thought, why is Qiaojie telling you all this for no reason? Do you understand?
"Qiaojie's future father-in-law is a childhood friend of your eldest brother-in-law, and their family used to live in the capital," Old Man Xie had to say a few more words to Xie Shiquan to prevent his son from asking around. "Qiaojie and her future husband have known each other since childhood. If they didn't like each other, your eldest sister and brother-in-law wouldn't marry her to him."

Xie Shiquan understood now, they were childhood sweethearts.

"Your eldest sister did a great job," Old Man Xie leaned back on the cushion and said to Xie Shiquan, "Don't take the wealth gained by breaking promises. It's not good."

Xie Shiquan: "Promise?"

Father Xie: "Isn't an engagement also a kind of commitment?"

Xie Shiquan understood.

The husband family that Princess Le'an found for Qiaojie must be good, but her eldest brother-in-law is a merchant. Who knows if that family is willing to marry Qiaojie for the power of the Lin family? In the eyes of Father Xie, this matter has hidden dangers from the beginning.

"I don't want you to understand now, but you have to remember what your father said," Old Man Xie patted Xie Shiquan on the head.

This kid is destined to have a good life in the future just because he is Lin Deyi's brother-in-law. Old man Xie didn't expect Xie Shiquan to have any great success. He just hoped that Xie Shiquan would not be a bad person in the future and be corrupted by the power he gained from Lin Deyi and Qin Guogong Mansion.

"I've got it in mind," Xie Shiquan nodded randomly and asked Old Man Xie, "Dad, will my ninth sister come back before the New Year? I miss her so much."

Xie Shiquan didn't realize his father's painstaking efforts at all. He just suddenly realized that he missed Xie Jiuhuan. When would his ninth sister come home? (End of this chapter)
