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

Chapter 42 Really like a concubine
Xie Changan asked considerately: "Do you want to go to Tea Picking Alley or Qingfeng Tower?"

There are many pastimes in Tea Picking Alley. You can drink tea and eat cakes while listening to music.

Although there is no entertainment in Qingfeng Building, the pastries and tea taste better, and the surroundings are lively.

Xie Zhaozhao said: "Let's go to Qingfeng Tower."

"Okay." Xie Changan ordered the carriage to go to Qingfeng Tower. The brother and sister chatted for a while.

As he talked, Xie Zhaozhao asked insinuatingly about Chu Nanxuan's acquittal in the arms case.

Xie Changan now followed Xie Wei into the court, and he was also aware of the matter, so he told Xie Zhaozhao everything he knew.

Chu Nanxuan has nothing to do with that batch of inferior ordnance.

The reason why those weapons appeared in the wedding procession was because he was doing things for others.

The only person who could summon Chu Nanxuan and make Emperor Xuanwu turn this matter into a trivial matter was the powerful prince Longsun.

"It shouldn't be from Jingzhong, right?" Xie Zhaozhao asked.

"Yes." Xie Changan whispered: "It's okay for Sixth Brother to tell you - he is the Liang Prince who is stationed in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun."

"Not many people know about this. Dad asked me to keep my mouth shut. Now I tell you that you must not tell anyone else, not even my mother."

"clear."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded.

The case of inferior ordnance was certainly a heinous crime, but the person who committed the crime was the son of Emperor Xuanwu.

If it wasn't Chu Nanxuan but someone else who got involved this time, I'm afraid Emperor Xuanwu would directly order the whole family to be executed.

But who said that person was Chu Nanxuan.

The son of Emperor Xuanwu's savior was naturally acquitted.

As for how to deal with the culprit, King Liang, this is another thorny issue.

Emperor Xuanwu had many heirs, and most of them grew up in the smoke of gunpowder. They were capable of conquering and fighting and were extremely brave.

After Emperors Dading and Xuanwu of Jiangshan came to the throne, they named their sons as kings, divided the military power, and guarded the border fortresses for the Yun family to stabilize the border defense.

Among them, King Liang was the most powerful, with the strongest soldiers and horses, and the most arrogant and domineering.

He has repeatedly violated the law in the past two years.

The cause of the inferior ordnance incident was that the King of Liang embezzled military pay from various places.

The Ministry of War ran out of money, and there was no supply of soldiers, horses, ordnance everywhere, so cheap and inferior products appeared.

Xie Changan suddenly said: "Little sister, you don't seem to be surprised at all?"

"Fortunately."

Xie Changan asked again: "Did King Dingxi tell you something?"

Xie Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment and responded vaguely, "Yes."

As expected, Xie Changan didn't ask any more questions.

Xie Zhaozhao couldn't help but think to himself that Yun Qi was an all-powerful shield now.

The brother and sister went to Qingfeng Building, ordered some of the signature pastries, had afternoon tea while chatting and laughing, and then walked around the busy market near Qingfeng Building.

In the evening, we also ate mutton noodles at a roadside stall.

When the lanterns came on, the brother and sister got into the carriage and went home.

Arriving at the mansion, Xie Zhaozhao bid farewell to his brother and returned to Wangyue Tower. As soon as he entered, Xiangrong came over with a solemn expression and reported: "Miss, in the past two days, Yilanyuan has paid money to have people clean the first and second buildings in the south of the city. Enter the courtyard.”

"What?" Xianggui's face changed slightly when she heard this: "What are they doing cleaning the yard? Do they want to move out? They shouldn't!"

Who doesn't know that Mrs. Dou doesn't want to leave the big tree of Xie Wei at all.

Xianggui guessed: "Are you doing this to show the Duke, or just to make a fuss?" "It's not like that." Xiang Rong said, "If Mrs. Su cries and makes a fuss, it's all for the sake of face. , but this time we asked people to clean up the yard in a secretive way."

"Do you know the place?" Xie Zhaozhao, who had been silent, asked, "The specific location of the yard."

"know."

Xiangrong said: "I bribed a Sasou girl in Yilan Garden according to the lady's instructions."

"That girl is really good at doing things. Seeing that the grandma next to the second lady was looking for someone to clean, she volunteered to earn the money. Naturally, she knew the place."

"Things went well." Xie Zhaozhao said with a smile: "Give that girl a little more reward and let her continue to keep an eye on her."

"Yes!"

After Xiang Rong retreated, Xiang Gui's doubts were still unresolved.

She looked at the confident Xie Zhaozhao and said hesitantly: "Miss..."

This is sent to Xie Zhaozhao to help clear up the confusion.

Xie Zhaozhao said calmly: "Don't worry, you will understand in a few days."

……

Three days later, Mr. Dou found Xie Wei and cried again.

He said that he and Xie Xingchen were bored in Yilan Garden. His condition worsened and Xie Xingchen's condition could not be cured.

Chu Nanxuan has been released. The stupid things they did in the past have paid the price and it is time to get over it.

Xie Wei couldn't bear the crying and had a headache, so he asked Dou and his daughter to be relieved of their confinement.

Mrs. Yu watched with cold eyes from beginning to end, turning a blind eye to Mr. Dou's triumphant and provocative look, but she felt a lot of anger in her heart and wanted to go forward and slap her on the ear.

But he remembered his daughter's explanation and did not move in the end.

After Mrs. Dou left, Xie Wei hurriedly went to Mrs. Yu to comfort him: "Madam, calm down, everything in the family is now in Madam's hands. Even if she cries and makes a fuss, she can't make a big splash, can she?"

"Madam, please don't remember the faults of villains, just pretend that you can't see them, okay?"

Yu said coldly: "She is becoming more and more like your concubine now, and your behavior is more and more like balancing the relationship between wife and concubine."

"..."

Xie Wei was speechless for a moment, "What are you saying? You clearly know that I am always tolerant because of my second son——"

"Yes, for the second child." Mrs. Yu said, "I have been tolerant for more than ten years. When will it end? Will I be tolerated for a lifetime? They have divided at least half of your and my property over the years. There is a deficit everywhere in the family!"

"Our eldest brother's wife died, and he left a child behind and now has to marry again. The second and fourth children have been at the border all year round, and their marriage has not been settled. The fifth and sixth children have not started a family."

"Zhaozhao is finally getting married, but now something has gone wrong. I still don't know how to handle the marriage."

"We can't handle things well at home. You can't see, can you?"

Xie Wei sneered: "My husband knows it, I know it, madam, please calm down!"

Mrs. Yu stared at Xie Wei for a while, then threw away her sleeves and walked away: "Go to the study and sleep. Don't go back to Chunhe Lou recently. I think you are upset."

"Madam -" Xie Wei stared at Yu's back and sighed after a long while, "It's really hard for one mountain to accommodate two tigers."

The long follower behind Xie Wei whispered: "It has been more than ten years. I have been taking care of his orphans and widows for the sake of the second master. I have done my best."

"The Second Madam is greedy again and has no end... And Madam is right about what she said. Every time the Second Madam comes to see you and cry, she really looks like your concubine, and her posture is really not good. nice."

Xie Wei: "..."

He looked back at Chang Sui: "You think it's the same?"

Xie Wei always pays attention to court affairs and has never thought about it at all.
