Lay to win!Cannon fodder, he has become the chief assistant

Chapter 72 Concubine?

Grandma Xie had always disliked Liu Ruolan as her daughter-in-law, mainly because she disliked her second son, and now she felt that she was taking advantage of her, so she spoke without any scruples.

"Think about it clearly. You are the first wife of the second child. You are hired by three matchmakers and six hired. No one can surpass you. You have been married for many years, and you have only got one sister Zhao so far. If it was in the past, it will be fine. I listen to the grandfather. It means that the second child is expected to take the provincial examination next year, so is it possible that he, a dignified master, will have no children at his knees?"

Liu Ruolan's face turned pale after saying this.

"Don't blame me for being a troublesome old woman. Both the eldest house and the third house have Zi Sui to inherit the incense. What about the second child? Who will honor you when you two grow old?"

Liu Ruolan's lips trembled, she didn't dare to look up at her mother-in-law.

Grandma Xie's words were even more heartbreaking one after another.

"Sister Zhao is young, but she will marry sooner or later. If you have been childless, who will support Sister Zhao in the future? Her mother's family doesn't even have a capable helper, and Sister Zhao is bullied. what to do?"

Liu Ruolan raised her eyes and wanted to say how many nephews she had, but she always felt that she couldn't say it outrightly.

Grandma Xie seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, she shook her head and said, "You have to understand that Zi Sui, the head of the house and the son of the third house, are separated from you after all. That's different, and there are some things that the uncle and uncle The difference is still huge.”

Liu Ruolan lowered her head again, only she knew how sad she was.

Seeing her acting like this, Auntie Xie knew that she had taken advantage of her.

Hmph, really thought that the Liu family had made some money, so they dared to quarrel with his Xie family?
Make up for the dowry!

Do you really think you can't do anything with her?

Liu Ruolan can't stand it anymore just mentioning the matter of taking concubines. If the concubine's room is really allowed in the future, Liu Ruolan's sad days will be in the future!

Auntie Xie made up her mind not to let the second room be happy, so she was really looking for someone to take Xie Xiuwen as a concubine.

Of course, Mr. Xie didn't know about this matter, only she and Mrs. Gao knew the inside story.

Gao was also happy to see Liu Ruolan aggrieved, who made her lucky to be able to take advantage of her natal family?

If it weren't for the need for a man's seal or handprint to accept a concubine, Grandma Xie would have thought of taking the woman over directly.

When Xie Xiuwen got home, he found that the atmosphere in the house was not right, especially the sad look on his wife's face, which made him think that something serious happened at home.

Knowing that it was because of taking a concubine, Xie Xiuwen was not in a hurry.

"I have no intention of taking a concubine, so you don't have to take this matter to heart."

Liu Ruolan's heart relaxed, but at the same time she felt guilty: "But after all, I am incompetent, so far I have not been able to give birth to a son for my husband."

"What kind of talk is this! My son and daughter are all the same in my eyes. Are we good babies?"

Of course Liu Ruolan also likes her daughter, but after all, she feels that without a son, she cannot live confidently in her husband's house.

"I know that you are all for me, but you can't rush to be a child. We are still young. Since we can have a good baby, there will always be another one in the future."

Liu Ruolan stopped talking.

Yes, she can give birth, otherwise there would be no good baby.

But the problem is that it has been several years, and the bed affairs between the husband and wife are considered harmonious, why is it that they have been unable to conceive for so long?
The next day, Grandma Xie brought up the old story again.

But this time it was mainly for Xie Xiuwen.

Xie Xiuwen refused expressionlessly: "Mother, don't bring up the matter of taking a concubine again. Ruolan and I have known each other since we were young and have been friends for many years. Are you trying to make me a heartless person?"

Grandpa Xie at the side also felt that the second child was still young, so he was not in a hurry to take concubines and have children.

Thank you grandma for not thinking so!

"Second, I'm also doing it for your own good. You are now twenty-three, and others at this age may be the father of three sons. Now you only have one sister Zhao, and Liu's stomach has not moved in the past few years. You really don't want to think about the future?"

Xie Xiuwen said in a deep voice: "Mother, you should know that I intend to take the provincial examination again next year. Now that I have not won the exam, I have already taken a concubine. Do you think my son's reputation is not bad enough?"

Grandpa Xie's heart skipped a beat, his face was much more solemn than before.

"Father, there are two scholarly backgrounds in the Liu family, and my uncle is now working in the county government. I won't hide it from you two. When I go home for a reunion this time, my husband also left my homework for me. I have to pay for it." Think of a way to ask uncle for help. If I take a concubine, how can I have the face to ask uncle for help?"

Grandpa Xie was all concerned: "But what happened?"

Xie Xiuwen shook his head, paused, and said, "It's some homework about taxation. My uncle works in the yamen, and he knows the details of some affairs in our county. I can't just hand it in with a blind eye, right? Also, if I can get some more suggestions from my uncle, it will also be helpful in policy theory in the future."

Grandma Xie doesn't think so.

Then Boss Liu is also a scholar, and his ranking back then was not as good as Xie Xiuwen, so how could he be mentioned?

Grandpa Xie is not a woman trapped in the inner house, so she naturally understood what her son meant.

Together in the officialdom, it can't really be just talk on paper.

"What you said makes sense. Those uncles of yours are all good. They also contributed a lot to Baobao's affairs before. If you go to ask Boss Liu for advice, you still have to bring a generous gift."

"Yes, father."

Grandpa Xie made a decision here, and grandma Xie naturally had no chance to make a move.

Although Xie Grandma felt annoyed, it was not impossible.

In the evening, Grandma Xie called Gao over to talk.

"It's good for me to look at Miss Cui. I'll make arrangements for you to find a reason to bring her home in two days."

Gao's heart was like beating a drum, he was both a little excited and a little apprehensive.

"Aniang, is this too risky? I think since the second brother is unwilling, why don't we think of other ways?"

Grandma Xie glared at her, why is this Gao's brain becoming more and more dull.

"It's because he doesn't want to, so we can only resort to ruthless tactics. That's fine, just do as I said. At that time, you can find a reason to send Liu's mother and daughter out, and let them come back when the matter is over."

After thinking about it, Gao thought it might be a good idea.

Moreover, as long as Gao Shi thinks of the picture of Liu Ruolan seeing her husband having another concubine and being heartbroken, she will feel a burst of joy in her heart.

Xie Xiuwen took a generous gift and went directly to Liu's restaurant in the county.

But it was a coincidence that Boss Liu was not on duty today, so he happened to be helping in the restaurant.

"My brother-in-law is here, come in and sit down."

After saluting, Xie Xiuwen said: "I'm bothering big brother. I really need to ask big brother about something. I came in a hurry. Zicheng was rude."
