As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 142
Xie Wei was speechless.

That's what he usually thinks.

Yu has been fighting with him for many years. Although he has a hot temper, he generally knows how to advance and retreat.

Mrs. Dou was from a better background, but it was understandable that she loved to cry and cry. After all, her husband died and she was left alone, but at her core, she was still a young lady raised from a scholarly family, dignified and generous.

It's normal to have a little quarrel from time to time.

Don’t people have to have some friction when interacting with others?How could it be possible if the two brothers were always good friends?

It's just that because of Xie Qing's death, the second wife felt that the first wife should treat their orphans and widowed mothers better.

Xie Wei and Yu had already discussed this point under the covers, and they had a consensus. Even if they secretly squandered a little money, they couldn't get it out.

But now, it has emerged that Xie Xingchen, the second wife, and his daughter secretly cheated on Chen Cang.

Still hiding it so closely?

Xie Wei couldn't understand. There were so many good men in the world. He had noticed several young talents for Xie Xingchen in the past few years. Their character and family background were no worse than Chu Nanxuan's. Why would he compete with his sisters at home for husbands?

Mrs. Yu added: "I know you won't believe it, and you will think that our mother-in-law is falsely accusing the two little white flowers in the second house. What do you know about it?"

"We have never caught someone sleeping in bed, so there is no conclusive evidence. In addition, she and Prince Liang are not involved, so there is no way to talk about it."

When Xie Wei heard about Liang Wang, his face became even uglier for a moment.

"She is from the Xie family." Xie Wei said, "This wedding banquet has been so ugly. The Xie family has to be questioned... No, I have to go to the palace."

As he spoke, Xie Wei stood up and strode out.

But just after taking a few steps, he suddenly froze his figure and said with a complicated expression: "Old Qi, why are you here?"

Xie Zhaozhao was standing at the entrance of Chunhe Building at this time, looking at Xie Wei with a gentle and obedient expression: "I heard my father's voice outside. What are you going to do when you enter the palace now?"

Mrs. Yu originally thought that Xie Wei was too hasty to enter the palace now, so she chased him out.

Seeing Xie Zhaozhao stopping Xie Wei, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come in and talk!" She grabbed Xie Wei's arm, "When did you learn to be so impatient like me? Aren't you the best at keeping your temper? Come back first and discuss it carefully."

Xie Wei paused and turned back to the house.

He is not usually such an impatient person, but this news is beyond the scope of his acceptance, which makes him slightly confused.

After entering the house and sitting down, Xie Zhaozhao made another cup of tea for Xie Wei, "Father just entered the palace. Did he intend to plead guilty and ask the emperor to punish him? But the palace is still not sure how to treat this matter."

"Father ran away in a hurry. The Holy Father may think that you are guilty of committing a crime. He already knew that Xie Xingchen and Chu Nanxuan were hooking up, and he asked her to marry into Prince Liang's palace to discredit the royal family."

Xie Wei's face darkened, "That's right... I'm too anxious as a father... I have to look at the direction of the wind before making a decision."

"Yes." Xie Zhaozhao nodded, "But Xie Xingchen belongs to the Xie family after all. When something happens to her, her father is guilty of lax management of the family. The blame for this crime can be large or small."

Xie Wei's face became darker.

Once Long Yan becomes angry when he tarnishes the royal family's face, even Xie Wei, the Duke of Liang, will not be able to bear it. If the emperor really wants to be held accountable, dismissal and removal from office will be frivolous.

Moreover, King Liang was disgraced today. If he angered the Xie family, it would also make the Xie family very uncomfortable.

Xie Wei took a deep breath and closed his eyes. For a moment, he couldn't accept that things had become so difficult to handle.

He has been a soldier all his life, and he considers himself to be smart and capable in the court, but something like this that happened in the back house seems to have been put on the chopping block of others.

Really uncomfortable.

"Actually, this is not a bad thing." Xie Zhaozhao said warmly: "Chu Nanxuan and Prince Liang are connected. Our Xie family even married a second daughter to Prince Liang. The engagement between Chu Nanxuan and I has not been terminated..."

"Whether the Xie family is voluntary or forced, they are all tied to Prince Liang."

"The Xie family was originally a pure minister. Once tied to the vassal king, they would be in a very unsafe position." Xie Zhaozhao paused and then said: "The Holy One may not have shown dissatisfaction, but he must have had thoughts in his heart. This time , father can try to use Xie Xingchen to change this situation."

Xie Wei looked over: "You mean to retreat?"

"Yes." Xie Zhaozhao nodded, "In a fight between gods in the capital, you may be accidentally injured if you are careful. What's more, the Xie family is in such a situation now. If they don't retreat, they may become a thorn in everyone's side."

Xie Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked his beard and said: "You are right, but this is how to retreat——"

"Father needs to consider the importance of this." Xie Zhaozhao said warmly: "Actually, the most pressing problems of the Xie family now are all with the second bedroom."

Xie Wei said: "Your problem is also a big problem."

Emperor Xuanwu chose Chen Shulan as his concubine for Yun Qi, and there was only one imperial edict left to grant her marriage.

But Yunqi was obsessed with Xie Zhaozhao and was very resistant to the marriage.

Although Emperor Xuanwu never said anything to Xie Wei, he may not be dissatisfied in his heart.

In addition, Chen Shulan's grandfather was the King of Zhongshan.

Xie Zhaozhao was standing between the Zhongshan Palace and the royal family. It was really difficult inside and out.

"..."

Xie Zhaozhao was silent for a moment, "The matter between Yun Qi and I has indeed made the Xie family uncomfortable, but... there is no way to avoid this issue now."

Over the years, due to deliberate instigation by others, the situation has already been decided.

Even if Xie Zhaozhao is reborn, he cannot change.

"I can also retreat." Xie Zhaozhao said: "As for His Royal Highness King Dingxi, my daughter can persuade him."

"Oh?" Xie Wei raised his eyebrows: "Can you persuade him?"

"I will try my best." Xie Zhaozhao said seriously: "But in fact, my father should have noticed that he has become much more stable after returning from the Western Region this time, and he has also restrained himself a lot about my affairs."

Xie Wei nodded: "That's true."

Yun Qi has been back for half a year.

Except for the wedding day when she returned to Beijing, and a few words about guard Xie Zhaozhao during the chrysanthemum viewing banquet, she didn't have any communication with Xie Zhaozhao at all other times.

As for dealing with Chu Nanxuan, it is also justified.

Compared with the nonsense back then, it is indeed much restrained.

"Thankfully he knows how to restrain himself." Xie Wei frowned, "If he hadn't restrained himself, the Xie family would really be walking on a knife's edge now."

"That's all, the matter has come to this, we can only bite the bullet and push forward." Xie Wei took a deep breath, "As for this retreat, I have to think about it carefully as a father."

Xie Zhaozhao said: "Will my father be reluctant to part with his current status and wealth?"

"Of course -" Xie Wei sighed, "The old lady wants me to give up when she reaches middle age, how can I -"

A person's life passes by in a hurry for decades.

Xie Wei has gone from a rough and rough guy to what he is today. He has put in hard work that others cannot match, and he has also received opportunities that others cannot imagine.

Opportunity is something that cannot be obtained through hard work.

Now that I have retired this time, will I have another chance to regain my current status in the future?
What's more, he is not alone.

He takes care of the family, and once he retires, it will inevitably affect his children, and may even affect his father-in-law who is raising his family in Binzhou.

It can be said to move the whole body with one hair.
