Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 348 Purchasing a New House
The next day, under the urging of Mrs. Cui, Xie Zi'an really went to the Tang Palace with a complicated and heavy dowry. The Princess Xian'an, who was always attached to Xie Zi'an the day before, settled down today. When Xie Zi'an passed through the residence, he didn't see her either.

It's just that she has started to talk about marriage, and Princess Xian'an has become more and more reserved, but it's all an illusion after all. Although she is hiding in the inner house, she is still worried about the situation in the front hall, and she doesn't know whether her father and brother will agree. He would make things difficult for Xie Zi'an, so he sent Qin'er to the front hall to spy on the situation secretly, and then told her herself.

However, Princess Xian'an waited anxiously in the backyard, but she didn't see Qin'er coming back for a long time. In the end, she couldn't hold back anymore, restrained all her restraint and tact, and ran straight to the front hall.

At this time, in a corner outside the front hall, Qin'er was lying on her body, trying to eavesdrop on something, but the voice of the people inside was too low for her to hear clearly.

Princess Xian'an suddenly appeared behind Qin'er, really startling Qin'er, Qin'er hurriedly stood up, "Princess?"

"Hush—" Princess Xian'an suddenly put her hand against Qin'er's mouth, "Don't talk, go aside, let me do it!"

After saying that, Princess Xian'an took Qin'er's seat just now, and pulled the crack of the door to look inside.

In the front hall, Xie Zi'an was sitting opposite King Tang, and Concubine Tang was sitting at the side of King Tang. Although they couldn't hear what they said clearly, it seemed not difficult to tell from the expressions of the three of them that they got along very happily. .

Princess Xian'an was a little relieved. Although she knew that her father and mother are enlightened people, she can really feel at ease if she can prove this with her own eyes. After all, this matter is related to her life.

In the end, it was Tang Wang Shizi who personally sent Xie Zi'an out. Although Tang Wang Shizi and Xie Zi'an did not have a close relationship, they were old acquaintances. Now, there is an additional layer of relationship, which is even more harmonious.

Just as the two men were talking and about to leave, Princess Xian'an suddenly jumped out from the side, and directly pulled Xie Zi'an from his brother's hand. Seeing his sister's obsessed face, Tang Prince Wang really couldn't laugh or cry.

"Can't you be more reserved? You will scare Zi'an like this!" Prince Tang sighed helplessly.

Princess Xian'an pouted, "You're not Zi'an, so you know what Zi'an thinks? Brother, you'd better go back to please your sister-in-law, so that she won't get angry with you again, you can't enter the room at night, don't Come and complain to me!"

Princess Xian'an deliberately revealed some embarrassing things about Prince Tang's son in front of Xie Zi'an, embarrassing him, and quickly explained: "Zian, don't listen to her nonsense, I am not..."

Xie Zi'an just smiled meaninglessly, with a look of "he understands very well".

The marriage between Xie Zi'an and Princess Xian'an was scheduled for mid-February, and the news quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Shengjing. Tang Palace and Cui's family were busy making arrangements.

However, the marriage of the eldest son of the Xie family was not arranged by the Xie family, but by the Cui family. Soon, some people felt that it was strange, and some rumors spread, targeting the Xie family everywhere. Another heavy blow to the declining Xie family.

Although Xie Chongguang was still the prime minister of the first dynasty, he had long lost real power in his hands. This is an indisputable fact, and the current position of prime minister is nothing more than an empty shell.

Now, the ones who really have the real power in the court are An Guogong Qin's Mansion and the former Empress's mother's Ning Mansion.

Xie Chongguang originally wanted to cling to the prince, but failed in front of the prince many times, and gradually even Xuanyuan Ming didn't like him very much.

Mrs. Xie was very worried about this, but now she heard the news that Xie Zi'an was going to be married to Princess Xian'an, she was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly sent someone to invite Xie Chongguang.

Since Xie's family was frustrated, Mrs. Xie has always shown Xie Chongguang's face. Xie Chongguang was also very afraid of seeing Mrs. Xie, and Mrs. Xie suddenly sent someone to look for him. Xie Chongguang stayed in the study for a long time, probably because he was not willing Go, until Mrs. Xie came to the study to meet him in person, he had no choice but to deal with it with a pile of smiles.

"Son, please greet mother!" Xie Chongguang put down the book in his hand, bowed to Mrs. Xie, and the crutch in Mrs. Xie's hand hit the ground heavily, and said, "Chongguang, what are you busy with? I call You, you don't even have the heart to respond to me!"

"Mother forgive me, my son is really busy these days..."

"Don't be too busy!" Mrs. Xie ordered with a cold face, "No matter what is important, let me go. The most important thing now is to persuade me to go home!"

"This..." Xie Chongguang was obviously unwilling, "Didn't you say it well at the beginning, and completely sever ties with the two brothers and sisters? Why do you want me to persuade him to come back at this time?"

"Oh!" Mrs. Xie felt a little annoyed at the unsophisticated Xie Chongguang, "Didn't you hear that Zi'an is about to marry Princess Xian'an?"

"The whole city knows about this matter, how could my son not have heard of it?"

"Since you've heard it, why don't you understand what it means to be a mother?" Mrs. Xie said it so clearly, how could Xie Chongguang not understand.

"But mother..." Apparently Xie Chongguang had some concerns, the relationship between him and Xie Zi'an was clearly impossible to relax, the scene of Xie Zi'an cutting off his arm in front of him was still vivid in his memory, he She even remembered the hateful look in Xie Zi'an's eyes when he looked at him that day.

However, Mrs. Xie's tough attitude could not tolerate Xie Chongguang's refusal. What Mrs. Xie naturally thought was that Xie Zi'an had climbed into the relationship with King Tang, and the influence of King Tang would naturally benefit Xie's family in the future.

Helpless, Xie Chongguang went to find Xie Zian under the coercion of Mrs. Xie.

Xie Chongguang searched the city for a long time before he found Xie Zi'an's whereabouts. At this time, Xie Zi'an was busy decorating his newly purchased house, planning to use it as his post-marriage residence with Princess Xian'an.

The house was selected by Xie Wanqing and Princess Xian'an together, and all the layout of the house was in accordance with Princess Xian'an's opinion, and even the additions were made according to Princess Xian'an's preferences, Xie Zi'an could It's extremely considerate.

Xie Zi'an was instructing the craftsmen to work, and there was a rumor from outside that someone wanted to see him. Xie Zi'an brushed off the ashes on his body, and walked quickly to the gate. What he saw at a glance was Xie Chongguang's back, even so, Xie Zian also recognized him at a glance, and he was inevitably unhappy.

He hadn't seen Xie Chongguang for a long time, and seeing him appearing here again now, Xie Zi'an no longer had the slightest sympathy in his heart, he just simply didn't want to see this person again.

Xie Zi'an didn't say much, turned around and left, but at this moment, Xie Chongguang suddenly turned around and called him, "Stop!"

Xie Zi'an paused and didn't look back. Xie Chongguang saw the opportunity and accused: "What's your attitude? I came to see you in person, and you don't even want to meet?"

"Oh!" Xie Zi'an snorted coldly, "Isn't this Mr. Xie? This is my new house, which hasn't been properly furnished yet. What is Mr. Xie looking for me at this time? Congratulations on my housewarming? Firstly, it was too early, secondly , Even if it is congratulations, it is not my turn to thank you!"

Xie Zi'an's tone was decisive, Xie Chongguang was startled, opened and closed his mouth several times, pointed at Xie Zi'an with trembling fingers and said, "You...you...you rebellious son, is this the way you talk to your father?"

Xie Zian turned around, faced Xie Chongguang, pointed at his severed arm, and said sadly: "Father?" He laughed slightly sadly, "Since I broke it in front of you When we go to this arm, you and I are no longer father and son, have you forgotten?"

"You! After all, the blood of my Xie Chongguang is flowing in your body!" It seems that this is the only thing Xie Chongguang can refute.

Xie Zi'an shook his head, "I have nothing to say to you, I have said it long ago, that arm, it is considered that I have repaid your birth favor, other than that, I don't owe you any more!"

Just as Xie Zi'an was confronting Xie Chongguang, Princess Xian'an's carriage quietly stopped outside the courtyard, and it was not only Princess Xian'an who got off the carriage, but also Xie Wanqing who followed closely behind.

When Xie Wanqing came down and saw Xie Chongguang in front of Xie Zian, the smile that Xie Wanqing had kept on her face suddenly froze.

"Why is he here?" Xie Wanqing looked at Xie Zi'an and asked.

Xie Zian shook his head, "Who knows him!"

"Let's go back!" Xie Wanqing tugged at Xie Zi'an's sleeve, as if ignoring Xie Chongguang directly.

Xie Chongguang was already angry because of Xie Zi'an's words, but when he saw Xie Wanqing's attitude, he was even more furious. He stepped forward and grabbed Xie Wanqing's arm, and said angrily: "You bitch, I will I know it's you, tell me, is it you, is it you who deliberately provoke the relationship between me and Zian?"

Xie Wanqing seemed to have heard some terrible joke, she threw off Xie Chongguang's hand, turned to stare at Xie Chongguang, and said, "I provoke? Do I still need to provoke?"

Xie Chongguang took two steps back unexpectedly, pointed at Xie Wanqing, and then glanced at Xie Zi'an, "Hmph, you... don't regret it!" With broken hair, he dragged Xie Zi'an into the house as if nothing had happened.

Princess Xian'an, who has been watching from the side, flattened her mouth and said, "Zi'an, don't be sad, from now on my father will be your father, and my mother and concubine will also be your mother and concubine. Will be very happy!"

Xie Zi'an pursed his lips and smiled, having a wife like this, what else is he not satisfied with?

Xie Wanqing covered her lips and said, "Since my elder brother has a father, queen and mother, as a younger sister, do I have to change my mind as well?"

Princess Xian'an's face turned red: "Wan'er, I treat you as my own sister. My parents are naturally your parents too!"
