Hello Chang’an

Chapter 189 Transaction

 Feng Min made a decision in his mind after hesitating again and again.

Xie saw the clues and dismissed the maid, leaving only his confidant, Nanny Qiao, by his side.

Soon, the bamboo curtain fell in the hands of Grandma Qiao.

"What on earth did you do?" Mr. Jie's face was extremely cold. "The reason why you came to pay homage to your ancestors and pray for blessings was just to meet the Ming Dynasty Prince... Tell me, have you done something shameless and ruined the family tradition of our Feng family?" Things?"

"No granddaughter!" Feng Min immediately denied it.

"Then why did Mrs. Ying Guogong suddenly write to you and agree to be the crown prince's concubine?" Xie Shi sneered: "It can't be that you have won her favor and caught her eye?"

Although the Chang family had revealed their intention to marry into her family a long time ago, that was why she agreed to do such a scene at Dengtai Tower on the Dragon Boat Festival...

As a result, the play failed, her reputation plummeted, and she was demoted from a first-class lady to a county monarch!

She paid such a heavy price for this matter, but when she later tried to test the Chang family's marriage, the other party pretended to be stupid with her, and even insinuated that she couldn't see her own identity and was delusional.

Naturally, she couldn't give in, but the other party was the Ming family's wife. No matter how angry she was, she could only temporarily swallow the loss of silence.

But through this incident, she had completely seen Chang's face.

Therefore, Xie was very sure at this time. If something had not happened, Chang would never have made such a concession... Although it was just a side chamber, Chang's initiative to mention it was unusual.

Xie Shi was waiting for her granddaughter's answer.

Even though there was no one else in the room, Feng Min still subconsciously glanced around, wary and uneasy.

Jie Shi raised his eyebrows: "Hurry up and tell me!"

"It's because..." Feng Min tightened his sleeves and said in a low and trembling voice, "It's because Prince Ming killed someone!"

Jie's expression changed: "Killing?"

"Yes..." After mentioning this matter for the first time in many days, Feng Min quickly turned pale: "On the mountain behind Dayun Temple...he personally killed the eldest grandson, the Seventh Lady."

Aunt Qiao, who was standing by the bamboo curtain, was also shocked when she heard this.

It turns out that the person who killed the eldest grandson Qiniangzi turned out to be the heir apparent of the Ming family!

Jie Shi lowered his voice: "Then why did Dali Temple interrogate the husband of the Chang family as a murderer?"

"It was Mrs. Ying Guogong who did it!" Feng Min said: "She was the one who asked people to deal with the aftermath secretly and framed the matter to the husband of the Chang family..."

Afterwards, Chang even sent someone to "remind" her not to talk nonsense, and to teach her how to behave in such a way that she would not look strange in front of others, etc.

She did everything as she was asked, but now the other party just wants to send her away with a side room position!

"In that case, how did you know the inside story of this matter?" Xie asked.

Feng Min moved his lips, but couldn't speak for a while.

Xie's face was extremely serious: "Were you there at that time, or did you also take action?!"

"No...I didn't!" Feng Min shook his head quickly: "I didn't touch the seventh lady, the eldest grandson, I...I just stopped her maid!"

Xie Shi looked at her: "Stop? How did you stop it!"

The case of Chang Sun Qi Niangzi caused a lot of commotion, but she heard that the bodies of Chang Sun Xuan and his female envoy were found together!

"I hit her with a stone..." Feng Min's face changed as he said this, and his voice became even lower: "I hit her with a stone..."

"You stupid thing!" Xie Shi was furious: "What's the difference between doing this and conspiring with the Ming family's heir to kill the eldest grandson, the Seventh Lady!"

That's the girl from Changsun's family!

"My granddaughter was forced too!" Feng Min didn't know whether she was afraid or regretful, her eyes were red.

At that time, Ming Jin couldn't help but strangled the neck of the seventh lady, Changsun, as if she was crazy, saying things like "if you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with wine", "So what about Changsun", "You don't even need to beg me now" used"…

Chang Sunxuan's maid wanted to call someone to rescue her girl, but she was in a mess and her clothes were disheveled. If someone came to see her, her reputation would be completely ruined!

Not only that, Ming Jin also urged her to stop the maid in a vicious voice, and she didn't dare not listen!

At that time, she was extremely panicked and frightened. Her mind was in a mess. She didn't know how she picked up the stone and hit it on the back of the maid's head...

Feng Min didn't want to recall the terrible situation that repeatedly appeared in her dreams. She covered her face in pain and fear, shook her head and cried.

"I don't want to kill anyone either..."

"But I really can't help it!"

She is a victim too!

It was the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty who wanted to force her to go first, so she was so frightened that she called out for help and attracted the Seventh Lady, the eldest grandson...

People are also the ones that Crown Prince Ming wants to kill...it is not her decision!

Jie Shi: "You still dare to cry? Do you know that you conspired with her to kill the eldest grandson, the Seventh Lady... What kind of disaster this move will bring to the Feng family!"

"Grandma, don't worry..." Feng Min stopped crying and raised her face: "Ying Guo Gongfu will take care of everything! No one will doubt the Ming Crown Prince and his granddaughter!"

As she spoke, she mustered up the courage to grab Jie Shi's sleeve: "The fault has been made, and it will be useless for grandma to blame her granddaughter... In any case, as long as the granddaughter can marry into the Ming family and become the heir's wife, it will be good for our Feng family." It’s always a good thing for grandma, isn’t it?”

There was no point in crying. She chose to tell her grandmother about the matter, just because she wanted her grandmother to help her think of a way to make her the royal wife of the crown prince Ying Guo!

She has borne so much and paid such a price for it. There is no other choice or retreat before her... She must become the wife of the prince!

Looking at her granddaughter's eyes filled with blind obsession, Xie's face was solemn and silent for a moment.

After a while, Xie Shi walked slowly to the couch and sat down.

Feng Min followed step by step, knelt down in front of her grandmother, and clutched her sleeves tightly.

Grandma is a person who has gone through great storms, and it would be good for her to marry into the Ming family. Grandma would probably be willing to help her with advice.

Xie sat on the edge of the couch and took a long time before speaking.

"You don't have to think about the position of the main wife."

Feng Min looked at her in disbelief: "Grandma..."

Xie Shi: "Do you know why Mrs. Ying Guogong is willing to hire you as her concubine at this time?"

"The granddaughter knows..." Feng Min said: "It's because the case of the eldest grandson Qiniangzi is still pending and it's a critical moment. She's afraid that her granddaughter will say something she shouldn't say..."

It was only after she was sure of this that she dared to write to Ming Jin to urge him.

"You also know that this is a critical moment." Xie Shi said: "Now the family status of the Feng family and the Ming family do not match. In the past, it might have been a good talk... But at this juncture, if the Ming family suddenly hired As the wife of the wife, such unusual and eye-catching behavior may arouse speculation and suspicion from interested people - have you ever thought about this? "

Feng Min was stunned when he heard this.

She really hadn't thought about this...

"So, no matter how much you threaten me, the Ming family will not and will not dare to let you be their main wife at this time."

Feng Min: "Then...what about waiting? Wait until the case is settled and the limelight is over..."

Jie Shi sneered: "When this case is settled, do you think the Ming family will still pay attention to you?"

"What should I do with my granddaughter?" Feng Min was flustered and unwilling: "Can my granddaughter only be a side room?"

"Before the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty married his first wife, although you were a concubine, you were no different from the first wife." Xie's voice could not tell the emotion or anger: "And you have his handle in your hand. As long as you handle it properly and have a good sense of proportion, come If I give him another son and a half to rely on, life won't be any worse."

Aunt Qiao, who was guarding by the bamboo curtain, was startled when she heard the words. She subconsciously looked at Jie Shi. The Lord's words meant... Feng Min was a little shaken when he heard this.

"But the choice is still up to you." Jie said coldly: "You have caused such a disaster, and I, as a grandmother, can't help you."

Feng Min didn't hesitate after hearing this: "...The side room is a side room, as long as my granddaughter agrees!"

Jie Shi looked at her for a moment and then said: "In that case, I will go to see Mrs. Ying Guogong in person tomorrow. Although you want to be the concubine, you must let her know that the daughter of our Feng family is not at the mercy of the Ming family. Bullying.”

"But then, wouldn't she know that her granddaughter told you the truth?" Feng Min was a little uneasy: "I promised not to tell you..."

Jie Shi sneered heavily: "Of course I want her to know!"

"If you are the only one who knows this secret, and you marry into the Ming family in the future, according to her Chang family's methods, I'm afraid it won't take long to silence you!"

"Let her know that I also have this handle to save your life!"

Feng Min suddenly felt a layer of cold sweat break out on his back.

right!

She almost forgot this...

If she was the only one who knew about this, the other party wouldn't have any scruples about keeping silent!

No wonder Chang asked people to remind her time and time again not to tell anyone...

Feng Min realized it later, and felt an infinite chill in his heart.

After all, she was still too young, and when she suddenly encountered such a thing, she could think of too little in a panic.

"Fortunately, I have my grandmother to think and plan for me..." Feng Min was extremely happy to tell her grandmother about this at this moment: "My granddaughter will listen to her grandmother's arrangements for everything from now on!"

Xie Shi nodded slightly towards her and said sternly: "To avoid causing complications, please do not mention this matter to the second person."

Feng Min nodded obediently: "Grandma, don't worry."

With this assurance, Xie reached out her hand and patted her granddaughter's hand, which was rare.

After returning, Aunt Qiao couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "...Does the Lord really want the girl to marry to the Ming family?"

The girl is young and thinks too simplistically. How can Mrs. Ying Guogong treat the girl well just because many people know the truth?

It should be noted that what the girl holds is not just the handle of Prince Ming, the girl herself also killed someone!

Even though the Ming family would not kill the girl, there are too many ways to torture people in the back house, and there are countless cruel ways to make people unable to speak...

It is impossible for the prince to think of this.

Xie Shi naturally thought of it.

"She has caused such a disaster. I wonder if the Changsun family will know the truth one day... Our Feng family really cannot keep her." Xie said: "It is the best way to hand her over to the Ming family as soon as possible."

Aunt Qiao: "But..."

Xie Shi: "This is the path she chose. She can't blame others. What happens in the future depends on her destiny."

Aunt Qiao didn't say anything more, she just sighed in her heart.

Good fortune... What kind of good fortune can there be if a sheep enters the tiger's mouth?

Early the next morning, shortly after dawn, Xie went to the door of Duke Ying's mansion.

After meeting the Chang family, Xie family said: "How can we directly discuss such a big matter as a marriage with the juniors? This letter should be sent to me by the Duke and Madam."

She placed the crumpled letter on the coffee table at hand.

Mrs. Chang's eyes flashed slightly, and her smile did not reach her eyes. She said with emotion: "It seems that your lady is really an obedient child. She has to talk to the prince about everything."

"It's natural to talk about such a big thing." Xie Shi smiled slightly: "She was frightened after she came back from Dayun Temple. She had no choice but to discuss it with my grandmother."

Mrs. Chang also smiled and picked up the tea cup: "Since Mr. Xie knows it, he must also know that the girl from your mansion is also a person involved in a murder case... If I hadn't covered it up for her, I'm afraid it would be difficult for your Feng family now." It’s so peaceful right now.”

Xie Shi: "That's true, but if the entire Feng family is put together, how can the life of Prince Ming be so valuable?"

"It's true. My son's surname is Ming, and he is the nephew of a saint. Naturally, he is more expensive." Chang asked with a smile: "So, let him marry a girl from your noble family as his concubine. I guess it is reasonable, right?"

Xie Shi is no easier to fool than that little girl. Whether this marriage can happen or not is still unknown.

Xie Shi was noncommittal: "There is only one girl in our Feng family. She was brought up by me personally. She has learned all the ways of running a house as a mistress. When it comes to being a side wife, even if your family has a clear name, you will inevitably feel aggrieved. Some...yesterday she got a reply from the Duke's wife, and even cried. "

Chang's smile gradually faded.

So, do you still want to be the royal wife?

Not to mention other things, if the main wife dies, the person she marries is the second wife. Most of the truly powerful families are not willing to let their daughters be the second wife. This is really troublesome.

She was told that this Xie family was also confused. Regardless of whether he was the main wife or the side wife, the outcome would be the same anyway. Why couldn't he think about it? Is the name of a married woman so important?

Just when Mr. Chang sighed, he heard Mr. Xie speak again: "I already advised the allergic child when I came here. The current situation is different, and people must know how to advance and retreat."

Mrs. Chang raised her eyebrows slightly: "So, the Lord has agreed?"

Xie Shi: "Whether you agree or not depends on the sincerity of the Duke's wife."

Chang Shi smiled half-heartedly: "I wonder what the sincerity you are referring to?"

"The position of a field doctor in the Ministry of Industry is vacant. My son has been working in the Ministry of Industry for many years and has always been dedicated to his work. He is just missing a chance."

Mrs. Chang sneered in her heart.

His face didn't reveal much, just because he said: "Tuntian Langzhong is a fifth-rank official. If I remember correctly, Chief Feng should be a ninth-rank official... Such an extraordinary promotion is probably against the rules."

"If everything is unified, how can we talk about sincerity." Xie said slowly: "Madam just said that the prince of your house has a clear surname, so he must be more expensive... He is just a fifth-rank official, which is not enough to make your house famous. It’s too difficult.”

After saying this, he stood up from the chair and said, "I will go back and wait for Madam's good news."

Mrs. Chang smiled and called the maid to see off the guests.

After Xie left, Chang sneered and said, "I was wrong. Her granddaughter is confused, but she is not confused at all."

What about the main wife and the side room, whether the granddaughter is dead or alive, the other party can clearly see it, and knows that these are secondary and useless...

"Even my own granddaughter can be used in exchange for calculations..." Chang said sarcastically: "She is indeed Mrs. Xie who took the lead in advocating to abolish the emperor."

Chang put down the tea cup with a bang.

The servant girl didn't dare to say anything for a while.

After a while, Mrs. Chang calmed down and asked, "Is the trial going to start over at Dali Temple?"
