Qi Xiuyuan really wouldn't watch Xia family being bullied, so not long after Xia family left the palace and returned home, the imperial decree of rewards followed to Fan's residence.

Qi Xiuyuan bestowed Xia's title as first-class Mrs. Enguo because she raised Rongjun King and also raised him as the emperor.

That is to say, the Xia family's imperial order was not earned by her son, let alone by her husband, but by herself, and she was titled "Enguo", which was the best imperial order of the first rank. For a while, the Xia family became the envy of the noble ladies .

Just because I have raised a nephew, and I can get a first-rank imperial order by helping another nephew when the other nephew is in decline, and my own son is also a super-rank Duke, who is still above the lieutenant, and may be the king of the county in the future. It is really lucky .

Why don't they have such a nephew?

But Fan Siwen has almost become an invisible joke in the officialdom. His son became a prince with a bright future, and his wife became a first-rank wife. Only he is still a third-rank official. He didn't get any benefits because the superior is a nephew. On the contrary, his attitude towards Fan Zijin made it more and more difficult for him in the officialdom.

Those who made things difficult for Fan Siwen because of An Guogong saw that Fan Zijin didn't intend to seek justice for his father, and Qi Xiuyuan didn't intervene, so things like this gradually increased.

After all, Fan Siwen's impression in everyone's minds has always been that he dotes on concubines and destroys wives, supports concubine sons and oppresses sons-in-law. No one would think that Fan Zijin has much affection for him, and Fan Zijin left home in the early years and went north because of a stalemate with Fan Siwen?

Fan Zijin is Fan Siwen's son, no matter how much he hates him, he can't do anything to his father. This is basic filial piety, but if they do it for him and win his favor, maybe he can take advantage of An Guogong road.

With this in mind, there should not be too many people who make things difficult for Fan Siwen in private.

Of course, most of the people who do this are villains who seek profit, but those upright adults have always disliked Fan Siwen's behavior, so for a while, except for Fan Siwen's better friends, no one really stood out for him.

If Fan Siwen was annoyed by the embarrassment in the officialdom, then the changes in the Xia family exhausted him physically and mentally.

Xia's temper has always been bad, even a little irritable, and he quarreled with him so much that he could pick up a whip and chase him around the mansion twice. If Xia came back from the palace and quarreled with him, Then he still has a way to deal with it.

After all, he has been dealing with this situation for more than 20 years.

But Mrs. Xia didn't cry or make trouble, and didn't beat him, but she didn't listen to him anymore, and she didn't even ask for his opinion when doing things.

If the Xia family hadn't led people to drive Fan Zixiao and others out of Lisong Garden, he would not have known that the Xia family had changed.

Lisong Garden used to be Fan Zijin's yard, but Fan Zijin moved to An Guogong's mansion, Zixiao's family lived in the original small courtyard, which was a bit narrow, so he let Zixiao's children live in two buildings separated by Lisong Garden. The courtyard did not move.

But at this time, the Xia family didn't even let Zi Xiao and the others live in Baoxia, and directly drove them out and threw out their things.

It's not that Fan Siwen is not angry, but when he ran to find Xia Shi, he found that she didn't cry or make trouble, and she didn't argue like before, but just told him lightly while drinking tea, "Lisong Garden is Zijin's yard. No matter whether it's a hug house or an upside-down seat, as long as Zijin is still a part of the family, I will never allow anyone to get involved, Fan Zixiao can live in if you want, you can separate Zijin and live alone."

Fan Siwen's face turned livid immediately, how is this possible?

Fan Zijin is not separated, he is the father of Duke An, and Zi Xiao is the elder brother of Duke An, and their Fan family has paid a super first-class Duke.

But if they are separated, although he is still the father of An Guogong, others think that Fan's mansion and An Guogong's mansion are two families, and the relationship is more than one point away. It is impossible to recognize it again.

The Xia family seemed to know his concerns, smiled at him, and said: "It's fine if you don't split up, he is a legitimate son, according to the law of the court, he can inherit 70% of the property, and everything in the Fan family should be inherited by him. Although he may look down on these things now, but why should he hand over to others?"

Fan Siwen finally confirmed Xia's abnormality, and asked with a frown, "What's wrong with you? What did Zhu Qing say to you?"

The Xia family smiled slightly, and said: "I and the Zhu family are cousins ​​in name, but you know our relationship, we are close blood, and we live as a family. I also walk around with the Zhu family as my mother's family, but except us In the first few years of your marriage, you didn't seem to call you big brother or second brother very much."

Fan Siwen's face darkened, "Sure enough, what did Zhu Qing say? Xiaotong, you have to know that I am your husband and the person closest to you..."

"The person closest to you is Fan Zixiao." Xia interrupted him, looked up into his eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "The person closest to me is Zijin."

Fan Siwen couldn't speak for a moment, his mind was blank for a while, he always felt that he had lost something important, so he turned and left in some embarrassment.

However, the Xia family concentrated on gathering the power in their hands. Now no one in the whole house dares to neglect her. Even if Fan Siwen treats her coldly, no one dares to treat her like before, because she not only has a first-rank mandate, but also has a Great son.

Xia family did not make things difficult for her old enemy, Aunt Liu, but pressed Fan Zixiao every step of the way. Faced with Fan Siwen's sullen anger, Xia family explained, "I am teaching him the duty of being a bastard. I don't care how old he is." However, he should covet less what does not belong to him in the Fan Mansion, and it will be very dangerous if he crosses the line. Speaking of which, it is thanks to you that he is suffering so much now."

Xia Shi smiled slightly, "You are always worried that my aunt would embarrass him as a concubine, so she defended him everywhere, and even let him surpass Zijin to become the most honorable child in the mansion. I have never embarrassed him for you before, but now I But I want to fight for the interests my son deserves, so I have to make things difficult for him."

Fan Siwen really wanted to ask, so can't you give in for me now?

But looking at Xia's indifferent eyes, Fan Siwen couldn't ask this question, he was afraid that the answer he would get was not what he wanted.

Fan Siwen lost weight quickly, and it took only three or four days to become a different person. If it was before, Xia Shi would definitely worry about his food and clothing, and ask him for medicine , Hustle and Greetings, but now they are all gone.

Fan Siwen became more and more silent day by day. Xia Shi originally thought that she would at least feel heartbroken, but no, she even felt a sense of pleasure in her heart. She really wanted to ask Fan Siwen how he felt and told him that she was tortured by him like this in the past Yes, but she has been alive and well.

In the past, it was Fan Siwen who tortured Xia, but now it is Xia who tortures Fan Siwen. While the husband and wife are tormenting each other, Fan Zijin has long since escaped from the sea of ​​suffering. He used to complain about his mother's injustice, but now he will never go there again. Pay attention to the two of them, because he has too many things to do, and more and more things occupy his mind, for example, Xiao Xia's fetal movement is getting worse.

Xiao Xia is more than seven months pregnant, and the bigger the belly, the thinner she looks. Recently, the child is very lively, and almost every night he kicks her so that she can't sleep.

Fan Zijin was worried, so he also moved to the Qi Mansion. He lived on the soft couch in the outer room, and went to check whenever there was any movement. Xiao Xia couldn't help but blush when she was moved. some.
