The lucky little prince's doting wife

Old Xie's family returned to Yuansheng Lane. Except for Xie Liujie who still lived at home with Niu Niu, the other sisters soon returned home with their husbands and children.

When Madam Miao sent Old Lady Wang and Eighth Sister Xie away, she held Old Lady Wang's hand and said worriedly, "I'm worried about you two, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, being the only ones at home with the child."

Wang Lao Niang: "All the members of Wei's party have been arrested. We live in the capital and have good relations with our neighbors. What can happen to us? Just put your mind at ease. I will come to see you in a few days."

Mrs. Miao took Xie Shiquan to stand at the entrance of the alley, watching Old Lady Wang and Eighth Sister Xie leave in the carriage, and then she took Xie Shiquan home.

"Mom, are you going to cook later?" Xie Shiquan asked.

Madam Miao: "If we don't cook, what will we eat in the evening? What do you want to eat? We have bacon at home, and fish and shrimp given by Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Xie Shiquan: "Aren't there still four lamb legs?"

My son can't remember anything, but he remembers clearly what delicious food there is at home and what delicious food others have given him, without any mistakes.

Madam Miao said to Xie Shiquan with a cold face: "Today we are not eating lamb legs, bacon, fish, or shrimp. You choose one."

Xie Shiquan wanted to eat all three of these and he couldn't choose.

"Grandma," Niu Niu ran out of the alley.

"Oh, my dear baby," Mrs. Miao hugged Niu Niu.

Niu Niu: "Grandma, let's eat meat today. How about braised pork?"

"Okay," Mrs. Miao took Niu Niu's hand and walked home.

Niu Niu: "And fried meat patties."

Mrs. Miao: "Okay, okay, grandma will fry some meat patties for Niu Niu."

Xie Shiquan, who was following behind the two of them, had a sullen face. His father told him that choice was very important, but in fact it didn’t matter at all whether he made a choice or not!
Mrs. Miao brought Niu Niu and Xie Shiquan back home, and neighbors had already come to visit them one after another.

When the adults were entertaining guests, Xie Shiquan had to take care of the children. He had to stay in the backyard with Wen Shan to look after the children at home.

"Your brother can go to the front,

"Xie Shiquan whispered to Wen Shan.

Wen Jia went to the kitchen to help light the fire. Guests were coming, and they needed hot water to make tea for them. Wen Shan didn't understand why Master Shiquan was fighting with her brother about work.

"I'll go check out the front," Xie Shiquan said to Wen Shan without waiting for her to reply, "If there are any delicious snacks, I'll bring some back."

Wen Shan looked at the snacks, melon seeds and peanuts on the table, but they clearly had a lot of food here.

Xie Shiquan quickly ran to the front yard. There was no one in the yard at the moment. Madam Miao, Xie Liujie and Wen Jia were all busy in the kitchen. Old Man Xie was in the main room talking to the neighbors who came to inquire about the news.

Xie Shiquan first ran to the kitchen door and stretched his head to look inside. When Xie Liujie turned her head to look at him, Xie Shiquan retracted his head.

"Who?" asked Mrs. Miao.

Xie Liujie: "It's perfect."

Mrs. Miao had already cooked the sweet soup. After serving a bowl to Xie Liujie and Wen Jia, Mrs. Miao said, "Why did he come here? Shouldn't he be playing with Niu Niu and the others in the backyard?" Xie Liujie drank the sweet soup while walking outside the kitchen and said to Mrs. Miao, "Shiquan is standing outside the main hall."

Mrs. Miao: "What can he understand? Let him come over and drink the sweet soup."

Sister Xie Liu waved to Xie Shiquan.

At this time, Xie Shiquan heard his father Xie say to the neighbors in the main hall: "Xiao Jiuer will be back soon. If he is fast, he may be able to come back for the New Year."

Xie Shiquan suddenly became happy. This was not just what he said, this was what their father said himself!

The guests at home and the children in the backyard soon drank the sweet soup cooked by Mrs. Miao.

Ordinary people in the market were reluctant to eat sweets freely, so the sweet soup served by Mrs. Miao, which was filled with plenty of sugar, made everyone satisfied.

"What's going on outside is none of our business," said Old Man Xie to his neighbors after he put down his empty bowl. "We just need to live our own lives."

Father Xie's words were a summary speech to the neighbors. Royal affairs, such as the death of the prince, the emperor's decision to depose the queen, and court affairs, such as whether Wei Shengwen would be executed along with his entire clan, and how many dignitaries would have their property confiscated, what do these have to do with ordinary people like us?
There is a truth that Father Xie did not say. Even if Wei Shengwen succeeded in his rebellion, could he still kill all the people in the world? Everyone should live their lives as they should? Farmers still have to farm, merchants still have to trade, and at most the royal family was changed from Li to Wei.

Oh, nothing good will happen to my family. Old Man Xie secretly wiped his sweat. Fortunately, the world is still ruled by the surname Li.

"Then we will wait for Xiao Jiuer and the others to come back," said Grandma Lu. "Among the girls in Yuansheng Lane, Xiao Jiuer has gone the farthest. She went to Jiangnan."

Old Man Xie laughed and said, "When Xiao Jiuer comes back, let her tell us about Jiangnan. Everyone says Jiangnan is great. Let Xiao Jiuer tell us why Jiangnan is so great."

The neighbors all said it was good. What's more, they were really curious about what this misty Jiangnan area looked like.

"Father has obviously been to Jiangnan," Xie Shiquan whispered to Wen Xiao outside the main hall, "Why didn't he tell us himself?"

Wen Xiao looked at Xie Shiquan. Didn't they just talk about Ninth Aunt? Sir Xie couldn't bring the topic to him, right?
"By the way," Xie Shiquan changed the subject again and said, "I heard from Mr. Lin that your family and Xiaoan's family are going to be rehabilitated."

Wen Xiao was stunned for a moment. Are the Wen and Zhou families going to be rehabilitated?
"My father told Lord Lin about this," Xie Shiquan said to Wen Xiao, "Lord Lin said he remembers your two families' affairs, and he will give an explanation to General Wen and General Zhou."

"Thank you, thank you sir for not telling me," the surprise came so suddenly that the calm Wen Xiao stuttered.

Xie Shiquan: "They may want to wait until things are done before telling you."

Xie Shiquan looked down on the way the adults did things. What was wrong with being happy in advance? Wei Shengwen was about to die. Would it be difficult to overturn the unjust cases of General Wen and General Zhou?
Ten days after Xie Shiquan and Wen Xiao stood in the yard, drinking sweet soup and talking, Wen Dong and Zhou Guangyi were rehabilitated by the emperor's decree, and the two generals became loyal and righteous military officials who were killed by Wei Shengwen.

Wen Xiao and Wen Shan hugged each other and cried bitterly. As for Wen Jia and Zhou Xiaoan, one was five years old and the other was three years old. They were too young to realize what the two edicts issued by Emperor Xuan Jing to the Wen and Zhou families respectively meant to them.

Father Xie handed handkerchiefs to Madam Miao and Sixth Sister Xie, who were also in tears, and said, "Wen Xiao will go to Lord Lin, who will find a general to take care of him. When Xiao Jiuer comes back, Wen Shan, Wen Jia, and Xiao An will follow her to Duke Qin's mansion. Lord Lin and the princess will take good care of them."

Growing up in the Duke Qin's Mansion is naturally better than growing up in the Xie family, so even if Madam Miao is reluctant, she will not ruin the future of her three children.

"When will Xiao Jiuer come back?" Mrs. Miao was worried about this. The eldest son had been gone for ten days and there was no news at all.

At the same time that Mrs. Miao said this, an urgent report, which was rushed from Jiangnan over 800 miles to the capital, was delivered to Emperor Xuanjing's imperial desk.

General Xie's letter of plea for help arrived in the capital before the heads of Wei Lin and Zhu Lin. (End of this chapter)
