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

Chapter 22
Xie Zhaozhao was a little sad.

My mother was so angry that she said such things.

In fact, based on her knowledge of her elders' affairs in her previous life, Dou really wanted to marry her father when she was a widow.

Xie Wei's appearance is rough and tough, which has nothing to do with the handsomeness in the eyes of the aristocratic family.

But he is capable, powerful and tall, and a man who can give women enough sense of security.

He also had some peach blossom debts when he was young.

It's just that Xie Wei was careful, thinking about King Kaiping's promotion of him, and had a deep relationship with his mother Yu for several years, so others naturally had no chance to get involved.

Not to mention the original Dou family.

In the spirit of taking care of his brothers' orphans, Xie Wei always took care of Dou's mother and daughter, and even took the initiative to say that it would be okay if she wanted to remarry, and he would definitely prepare a generous dowry for her.

This completely stopped Dou from marrying Xie Wei.

But she refused to remarry.

She was already quite young, and after her husband died and still had children with her, and she remarried, even if Xie Wei was really willing to prepare ten miles of brocade for her, the husband she could choose would definitely not be a wealthy family.

From then on, both her own and her children's futures were ruined.

Staying in Xie's family, you can still be protected by Xie Wei.

Mr. Dou is a smart man and thinks about these things clearly.

Yu also knew a little about her desire to marry Xie Wei.

Although that idea was later strangled in the cradle, it still planted a shadow in Yu Shi's heart.

They were all in peace when nothing happened, but when something happened, Yu immediately got into an attack.

Especially today, Mrs. Dou looked at Xie Wei with pear blossoms and rain, looking aggrieved.

The more Yu thought about it, the angrier she became. She threw down the tea cup on the table and yelled: "Bullshit!"

Broken porcelain fragments splashed on the wool carpet that was paid tribute by Persia, and a few fragments splashed to the door, landing right next to Xie Zhaozhao's embroidered shoes embroidered with flowers and birds, which had just entered the door.

None of the servants in the house dared to persuade him, and no one even gasped.

"Take care of this place." Xie Zhaozhao ordered Nanny Zhao who was beside her mother and walked over to Mrs. Yu.

Mrs. Yu looked at Xie Zhaozhao, her expression softened a bit, "Be careful, don't step on broken porcelain and hurt yourself."

"will not."

Xie Zhaozhao smiled, held up the hem of her skirt, and came behind Yu to help her thump her shoulders, "We are indeed mother and daughter, and we look exactly the same when throwing things."

Mrs. Yu remembered the way Xie Zhaozhao waved the tea cup in the main hall just now, with a gloomy look that frightened Mr. Dou.

The anger in her heart dissipated a little, and she hummed: "I gave birth to you, and our mother and daughter are naturally similar, but this old guy like your father... likes to feel sorry for the crying one... He doesn't even look at what the second wife has done. thing!"

When Yu talked about it, his anger returned, "And that's 5 taels, not 50 taels and 500 taels. This is not a trivial matter. How could he just jump over it lightly by saying, 'My brothers and sisters are also doing it for the good of the family'?"

The laws of the Qin Dynasty were strict, and bribery was a serious crime. Those who paid more than 50 taels would have their hands chopped off, and those who paid more than 100 taels would be exiled.

What Dou got was 5 taels!
It is simply a heinous crime to reach out to the major case that Emperor Xuanwu is staring at.

Emperor Xuanwu was so angry that the whole Xie family was very likely to be convicted.

and also--

The current industry of Duke Liang's Mansion comes from two sources, one is Xie Wei's, and the other is Yu's.

Xie Wei was granted the title of Marquis of Yongchang for his outstanding military service ten years ago. Emperor Xuanwu was so pleased that he rewarded Xie Wei with all the land, manor, gold, silver, wealth and silk belonging to the traitorous ministers of the previous dynasty. The rewards continued over the years.

Xie Wei originally came from a rough background with no background, but he has accumulated an incredible fortune in a few years.

As for the Yu family, it comes from the Kaiping Palace.King Kaiping only had one daughter in Zhennan, Yu Miaoyan. At that time, the wedding was held in the military, and it was quite anxious and hasty. King Kaiping felt sorry and felt sorry for his daughter. In the future, as long as he got any good things, he would basically send them to his daughter. coming.

In recent years, the second house’s food and clothing expenses have been a burden for the first house.

Silk, gold, silver and jade, it doesn't matter even if the Dou family enriches the Yu family's personal pockets.

Who told Xie Laoer to save Xie Wei's life in the first place?

But Mrs. Dou was so reckless in taking 5 taels to seek death, how could Mrs. Yu endure it?

Thinking of Xie Wei's attitude at this moment, Yu was even more furious: "He likes to protect the second house so much, and he likes to be in the mud... Why should he go to court? Let's just play in the mud!"

"Look what mom said." Xie Zhaozhao chuckled, "Why do I sound so sour?"

Mrs. Yu pursed her lips, "His behavior makes my mother's liver hurt."

"Mom still doesn't understand dad very well." Xie Zhaozhao squeezed Yu's shoulder gently, "I don't think dad has any idea about this matter."

"Ok?"

Yu was startled for a moment, then grabbed Xie Zhaozhao's hand and pulled her to sit in front of him, "You know what he has in mind?"

"I don't know either, but I think dad knows it." Xie Zhaozhao said, "This matter is not a trivial matter. One accidental move will involve the entire Xie family."

"Dad has been able to get through small things over the years, but mother, when have you ever seen him being vague about big things?"

Yu was silent for a while, "You are right, this old guy is very shrewd."

"Just wait." Xie Zhaozhao placed the envelope of 5 taels on the round table covered with gold-painted tablecloth.

……

Xie Wei came back after Haishi.

As soon as he got home, he called everyone in the family to the front hall.

The sixth child, Xie Chang'an, and the fifth child, Xie Changyuan, have been sent by him to keep an eye on the arms case for the past two days, and they haven't returned home yet.

At this moment, there were only Mr. Yu, Mr. Xie Zhaozhao and Mr. Dou in the main hall.

The atmosphere in the hall was a bit serious, Xie Wei also had thick eyebrows and a very solemn expression.

Yu's face was cold, while Xie Zhaozhao was calm and indifferent.

Mrs. Dou, on the other hand, felt a little bit in her heart and had a bad feeling.

"Hey..." After a long silence, Xie Wei sighed, "I don't know how the emperor found out about the 5 taels."

"What?" Ms. Dou was startled and panicked, "What should we do?"

"The emperor scolded me for being lax in running the family, and even fined me a salary." Xie Wei sighed again and looked at Mr. Dou: "Brother and sister, you did something wrong in this matter."

"I, I know." Ms. Dou nodded hurriedly, "I was just too anxious...and Zhaozhao also said this at that time."

Being caught by Mr. Yu and Xie Zhaozhao during the day was so hasty that Mr. Dou forgot about it.

After returning to Yilan Garden to quiet down in the afternoon, she thought about the matter again.

If Xie Zhaozhao hadn't said "take care of things" at the beginning, Dou and Xie Xingchen wouldn't have dared to think in this direction.

Xie Zhaozhao and Chu Nanxuan have a deep relationship, so Dou and Xie Xingchen thought that Xie Zhaozhao must go to great lengths to save Chu Nanxuan.

Xie Zhaozhao went to ask Xie Wei to use some force in the front, and they cleared the air behind them, and Chu Nanxuan came out soon.

Who knew it would turn out this way.

Xie Wei squinted and looked at Xie Zhaozhao: "Lao Qi, did you say that?"
