Chapter 15 Feeding from the palm of your hand

Regarding Xie Ning, the Song family did not like him.

Although she is also the daughter of the Xie family, she is just an unpopular concubine who has had an affair before marriage. If someone finds out about her, her reputation will be completely ruined. She cannot compare to Xie Lingyu in everything. How can such a person be worthy of Huai'er.

If Huai'er hadn't been confused now, she would have sent someone to drive Xie Ning away!
"Just place her in the courtyard outside. There is no need to bring her back to the house."

Xu Yinghuai, who was in the inn over there, had received a letter from his friend. According to the letter, he would be able to return to Beijing in five days.

He was also thinking about Xie Ning's arrangements.

According to his idea, it was natural to find a yard outside the house to settle down.

But before he spoke, Xie Ning seemed to sense it.

"Brother Huai, can Ning'er go back to Xuanwuhou's Mansion with you?"

Xie Ning lowered his head slightly, his eyes red, "I told my father that I would go on a trip, and when I return to Beijing this time, I can't go back to Xie's house. The only one Ning'er can rely on now is you, Brother Huai."

Xu Yinghuai really enjoyed having the warm and fragrant soft jade in his arms, and also liked Xie Ning's attitude towards him, but he still had concerns in his heart.

On the day of their wedding, he only had a quick glance at Xie Lingyu, but had no contact with her. He didn't know Xie Lingyu's temperament. He heard that she was a lady from a famous family, but she seemed to be the kind of boring lady who was stubborn and observant of etiquette.

Xie Ning has always kept secret about this sister.

I guess I was bullied a lot in the house.

Xie Ning is her sister, and Xie Lingyu shouldn't be able to accept him being brought back to the house like this.

Even if Xu Yinghuai dotes on Xie Ning and says many love words, he is still a wise and rational person.

Now that the Hou Mansion is in turmoil, he doesn't want to be known as doting on his concubines and destroying his wives.

He also wanted to prosper the Xuanwuhou Mansion, and he must not let these things hinder his progress.

He comforted softly.

"Good Ning'er, you and I are not married yet. It will be bad for your reputation to bring you into the house rashly. Besides, if Xie Lingyu becomes suspicious, it will not be good for you and me in the future. We must not be greedy for temporary pleasure."

Xie Ning clung to Xu Yinghuai's shoulders and leaned into his arms, speaking softly.

"Ning'er naturally understands Brother Huai's concerns. Don't be afraid of Brother Huai. My sister has always doted on me. When the time comes, I can just use the excuse of visiting her to enter the Marquis Mansion."

She definitely wants to enter the Xuanwu Hou Mansion.

What’s the point of living outside?Outer room?
That’s not even as good as a concubine!

Besides, Xie Lingyu just stayed in the empty house alone after getting married and couldn't even come back. She naturally wanted to see such a joke with her own eyes.

Her good sister had a smooth life, was loved by all, and had treasures in the world eagerly presented to her without even asking. Such a person could not keep a man safe.

How ridiculous!

Seeing that Xu Yinghuai was still hesitating, Xie Ning continued.

"Brother Qi hasn't seen me for a long time, so it's time to miss me. They are still so young, so they may be thinking about us all day long!"

When it came to his son, Xu Yinghuai really relaxed.

Xu Yinghuai kissed her cheek.

"Just do it if you can, and I will stand behind you."

If he hadn't brought it into the house, there would have been no bad rumors.

As long as it doesn't damage his reputation, he is still willing to pamper Xie Ning.

……

Xu Jiaxu simply held the initiation ceremony.

So he entered the clan school early.

Xie Lingyu chose two more reliable boys for Xu Jiaxu. One of them had read some books and was considered half a book boy.

She was having lunch, listening to Momo Yue tell about the people who took things from her private treasury these days.

Because she never refused, Mrs. Song became more and more careless, and even some of the tea and wine she often drank were taken away by Mrs. Song.

Taoyue was still a little angry as she spoke.

"Those people really regard Madam's dowry as their own. I won't give you any money, and that Aunt Zhou even said that she would report to Madam Hou that I had no manners and would drive me out of the house."

He Yue also looked like her eyes were opened. "It's only been a few days, and so much gold, silver, and jade has been lost. Doesn't the Hou Mansion have any savings at all? How dare you take it from Madam's private treasury for food and clothing."

Xie Lingyu ate three crispy soups and listened to the complaints of the two people.

The old lady should also know that the Song family is so grand.

For the sake of the Song family, to prevent her from being accused of embezzling her daughter-in-law's dowry, and to make the Hou Mansion run better, the old lady should send someone to invite her soon.

Unsurprisingly.

As soon as Xie Lingyu put down the spoon, there was a sound from outside the hospital.

Xie Lingyu wiped her mouth, rinsed her mouth, and asked people to remove the food from the table before inviting people in.

The person coming is Nanny Zhang.

Nanny Zhang has been serving the old lady for decades and has a very high status. The Song family also respects her.

She looked at Xie Lingyu very kindly with kind eyebrows and kind eyes.

"Mrs. Crown Prince, the old lady invites you to come over to discuss matters. Please come with me."

"Mom, do you know what's going on?"

Nanny Zhang smiled and gave some hints, "Of course it is the most important thing in the Hou Mansion. You will know when the Crown Prince's wife goes there."

Xie Lingyu didn't ask any more questions.

Such an old servant is the most loyal. What you can hear from her mouth is what the old lady wants her to hear.

"Mommy, please go back first. I have just finished my lunch. After I put my makeup, hair and grooming in order, I will go to Guzhuyuan."

Xie Lingyu asked Tao Yue to reward Nanny Zhang.

Xie Lingyu changed her clothes, leaned on the soft pear wood chair, fanned herself, and started reading while holding a book.

She was leisurely and contented, as if Nanny Zhang had never been here just now.

Taoyue was impatient, "Madam, it's been a quarter of an hour."

If you don't go there, the old lady should wait and get impatient.

Xie Lingyu turned over a page of the book and softly comforted Taoyue.

"Don't be impatient, your wife knows what's going on."

After another quarter of an hour, Xie Lingyu went to Guzhuyuan with Shi Shiran.

When she arrived, Mrs. Song had already gotten the news and arrived.

At this moment, the old lady and Mrs. Song were sitting and drinking tea.

The old lady was a little unhappy about Song's uninvited visit, but she didn't say anything.

Regardless of whether Mrs. Song is here, Mrs. Song should also know what happened today.

The old lady waited in the courtyard for half an hour. When she was about to send someone to invite Xie Lingyu again, Xie Lingyu appeared in front of the courtyard leisurely.

She didn't care that Xie Lingyu came so late and just waved her hand to tell her to take a seat.

"Yu'er, I called you here today for something important."

There was a smile on Xie Lingyu's lips, and she looked like she was listening obediently.

The old lady looked at Xie Lingyu with a look of admiration on her face.

"Now the Hou Mansion is in a storm, and Huai'er is running around outside. As the Hou Mansion is his rear, naturally it cannot cause trouble for him. There is a big event at the moment."

The old lady paused.

Xie Lingyu's face remained calm, and she still smiled quietly, with a dignified and elegant posture.

However, Ms. Song couldn't help but lean forward and gripped the armrest tightly, her fingers turning white from the force.

The old lady had a clear view of the two people's performance. She shook her head to cover up her disappointment in Song, and she said softly to Xie Lingyu.

"I am already very old, and I am afraid that my time is running out. The government is in need of someone who can take charge of the central government and manage the general affairs of the government."
