Chapter 169
"That's true."

Xie Zhaozhao pursed his lips.

After all, people live two lives, and she understood Xie Jiajia's thoughts.

Anyway, it's okay to live a comfortable life. There's nothing wrong with it.

It's just that in this kind of relationship between husband and wife, I always feel that something is missing.

"Don't talk to mother too much." Xie Jiajia glanced at Yu who was coaxing Yue Ya over there, "She is impatient. If you tell me, she might jump up in a hurry and worry me to death."

"I know."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded, "Sister, you also know that I don't talk much, so you feel free to talk to me?"

Xie Jiajia chuckled, "That's right, if you are a person who talks nonsense everywhere, I won't even bother to look at you, even if you are my sister!"

Both sisters laughed.

Yu Shi coaxed Little Yue Ya, carried the child over, and asked curiously: "What fun things did you say to make you so happy?"

"It's nothing, just kids." Xie Jiajia said casually, "Just stay here for dinner, treat it as a meal for practice."

The three of them, mother and daughter, had dinner together and talked about family matters at the dinner table.

Xie Jiajia originally grew up in Pennsylvania and did not return to the capital until she was 15 years old. Now when she talks about Pennsylvania, she misses her grandfather very much.

She prepared a gift for King Kaiping and gave it to Xie Zhaozhao, asking her to bring it to her grandfather.

By the time he left the Su Mansion and returned to the Duke of Liang's Mansion, it was already past Haishi.

Xie Wei hasn't come back yet.

Yu couldn't help but said: "We are leaving early tomorrow morning, and he won't come back now, especially if he drinks too much."

"No." Xie Zhaozhao said: "My father is with the fifth and sixth brothers. They will give some advice. Besides, my father also knows that he will leave tomorrow and will not be delayed by getting drunk."

"That's true."

Yu nodded.

After Xie Zhaozhao sent her back to Chunhe Building to settle down, he returned to Wangyue Building and wrote a letter to Yun Qi, instructing Hongxiu to send her to Miaoshan Hall, and asked Xianggui to take out her private money.

Fortunately, I have to sort out my departure from Beijing recently.

Xie Zhaozhao then ordered Xianggui to give Lei Xing the money and deliver it to the Su Mansion at night, and handed it over to Xie Jiajia.

……

But he said that Yun Qi also went with the prince to practice for Xie Wei today.

During the dinner, I also had two drinks with Xie Wei.

After the banquet at Lan Yue Lou ended, he returned to Han Yuexuan, his palace in Dingxi. It was already very late, close to midnight.

Aunt Li was afraid that there was something important in Xie Zhaozhao's letter, so she did not dare to delay. As soon as Yun Qi came back, she handed the letter to him.

"Didn't we just see each other in the afternoon?" Yun Qi raised his eyebrows: "There is another letter. Could it be that we can't bear to part with each other even before we separate?"

Aunt Li lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, please take a look and go to bed early after reading."

"Ah."

Yun Qi nodded, opened the letter, glanced at it twice, and then narrowed his eyes slightly.

Snapped!
Yun Qi slapped the letter on the table and said coldly: "Xuan Ming!"

"The end is here!"

Xuan Ming walked in quickly, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"

"I asked you to ask the Imperial College to be careful about the content. I didn't ask them to seal off other people's bookstores. How can you do this?"

"..."

Xuanming's scalp was numb, and he expressed that he was wronged, "If the general is passed on like that, I don't know why they closed the bookstore."

Yun Qi rubbed his forehead and said in a deep voice: "These people... forget it, it's not your fault. It's very late. You should go and rest first. I will go there personally to handle this matter tomorrow."

Xuan Ming breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes."

...Xie Zhaozhao had a sleepless night.

As soon as Mao o'clock arrived on the second day, she got up, washed and had breakfast, and then went to Chunhe Tower.

Xie Wei and Yu also got up early. The gift boxes and cages were placed in the yard, and the boys were loading them into the car outside the corner gate.

Xie Zhaozhao said with a smile: "I thought that Daddy had a banquet last night and might not be able to get up today. I really didn't expect -"

"It's just a few drinks." Xie Wei said: "What's more, I don't get drunk after a thousand drinks, unlike some people."

Xie Wei glanced at Xie Zhaozhao pointedly, "You'll get drunk after a few times, and you'll talk nonsense.

Xie Zhaozhao coughed lightly and said, "Dad is indeed a better drinker than him.

Yu frowned and said: "Lao Wu is indeed a bad drinker. When he came back last night, he howled in the yard - it's really embarrassing. How could we have such a son!"

Xie Wei and Xie Zhaozhao looked at each other and both smiled.

The father and daughter and the Yu family were obviously talking to each other like chickens and ducks, and they were not talking about the same person at all.

"Why are you laughing?" Mrs. Yu glared at Xie Wei, "You know his virtues well, but you have not disciplined him all these years. Now when people talk about the fifth son of Liangguo Gong's family, they all know that he is a romantic ghost who likes to hang out in flower streets and willow alleys."

"How can anyone be willing to marry him if he continues like this? If he can't get a wife, Chang'an will have to wait."

"Madam calm down!"

Xie Wei hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Calm down—his temper is too unrestrained. When we leave Beijing this time, we will discipline him properly when we get to Pennsylvania."

Yu said coldly: "That's what I think. I have to ask him to calm down!"

"Who can tell you to calm down?"

At this moment, Xie Changyuan came in from outside and said with a playful smile: "Are you talking about me?"

"Who else could it be if it wasn't you!"

Yu gave Xie Changyuan a hard look. If she hadn't set off soon, she might have taught him a lesson with a whip.

Xie Changyuan did not dare to play tricks in front of Yu Shi. He smiled apologetically and said, "Mother, calm down." and stood obediently behind Xie Wei.

"The salute is already installed."

Xie Changan also walked in from the outside, "Father, mother, if there is nothing else to do, let's set off now."

Mrs. Yu looked at his gentle and steady look, not to mention how satisfied she was.

The expression on his face when he saw Xie Changyuan was completely different.

"There's nothing else to do." Xie Wei called the steward forward, "I don't know when I'll come back from here. You have to take care of everything in the house. Over there at Yilan Garden -"

Xie Wei glanced at Ms. Yu quickly, and seeing her calm expression, he coughed slightly and said, "Even though I'm grounded, you still take care of me. Don't spend less on food and drink, you know?"

"Yes, the villain obeys."

After the steward agreed, Xie Wei took his wife, daughter, and two sons to the corner gate.

Xie Zhaozhao accompanied Mr. Yu in a carriage, while their third son rode a horse.

Everyone was doing their own thing, looking at the majestic courtyard wall of Duke Liang's Mansion with complicated expressions.

They had lived in this place for many years, and now they were suddenly leaving.

I don’t know when I will return...

Xie Wei sighed secretly, "Let's go."

Everyone returned to their respective places, and all the servants in the house saw each other off in front of the door, knelt down and kowtowed.

Xie Wei, with Xie Changyuan and Xie Changan at least at the front of the team, slowly passed through the streets towards the city gate as the early winter morning light broke out.

People along the street were confused and pointed.

Although the title of Duke Liang is still there, a general without a position or military power is nothing in the court.

Duke Xie Wei of the Kingdom of Liang was deposed, probably because the Holy Emperor wanted to grant a marriage to the royal family of Zhongshan for the emperor's eldest grandson.

The people couldn't help but lament that Xie Wei had made outstanding achievements during his military life, but now he was dismissed from office and driven out of the capital after his daughter was implicated. It was really bad luck and bad luck.
