Chapter 261
  Xihetang.

"This time I entered Xie's Mansion as a doctor to visit the old lady. I have traveled for three years and found a good prescription to treat the old lady's head ailment. I hope it can relieve the old lady's headache."

The woman was wearing a medical officer's white gua and plain flowers on her temples. She was very plainly dressed. Her formerly round and round face had been chipped away by the years. She no longer had the beauty of a girl in a boudoir, but had the calmness of time.

Mrs. Xie's chaotic eyes stopped at the plain flowers on her temples, which were used to observe filial piety.

She stayed with her husband for three years.

She was unfortunate, but also fortunate that the Wei family was full of loyal people. Mrs. Wei came from a scholarly family. After her eldest son was killed in the war, she immediately let Xie Jinhua leave the house.

But things didn't go so smoothly.

The wife's release letter can set her free, but she still can't escape the attack of rumors.

Xie Jinhua's father was impeached by the public officials, who accused him of failing to educate his daughter.

Xie Jinhua's mother was also shunned by the ladies of Yanjing and had not left home for three years.

Mrs. Wei personally went to Beijing to express her intention to release her wife, and then Xie Jinhua's father, Xie Lanxingguan, was reinstated.

But the rumors continue, and there will always be biased people who believe that Xie Jinhua should be thrown into the coffin and follow the loyalists, so that he can live up to the loyalty of the Wei family.

Since then, Xie Lanxing voluntarily transferred to Yanjing, asked for the Xie family genealogy, and took his wife and daughter to a barren land to serve as a seventh-rank official. He has not returned for three years.

Mrs. Xie's voice was choked, and she forced a smile and said, "Hua'er has been away for many years, and she seems to have lost a lot of weight."

"Old madam, the eldest lady has not only lost weight, she also looks energetic." Aunt Tao said in a gentle voice.

Xie Jinhua smiled and said: "Old Madam, Hua is no better than in my boudoir now. Taizhou has vast land. I have cultivated ten thousand acres of fertile land there and take care of the medicinal herbs. I have to do everything myself, which makes me feel free and happy."

"Come here." Mrs. Xie waved to Xie Jinhua.

Xie Jinhua hesitated for a moment, then walked to Mrs. Xie.

Madam Xie pulled her next to her and sat down: "I have been traveling for three years, but I can't even call my grandmother anymore. What am I, madam, old madam? Who am I to you?"

"Grandma." Xie Jinhua answered choked with sobs, lowered his head and looked back.

Mrs. Xie nodded: "That's right. Don't leave when you come back. Stay in Yanjing and chat with Jinyun more, and treat it as spending time with grandma."

Xie Jinhua was slightly embarrassed. Mrs. Xie noticed it: "What's wrong? You don't want to?"

"Grandma, it's not that I don't want to. I have important things to do when I return to Yanjing this time. Don't worry, I will spend more time with grandma."

Madam Xie heard that Xie Jinhua would leave Yanjing after finishing his work.

Mrs. Xie was a little angry, so she patted Xie Jinhua's arm lightly: "You are four years older than Jin'er, and the Wei family has already released you and given you freedom. How many years do you want to keep your mourning for the son of the Wei family? "

She started talking, intending to discuss a kiss for Xie Jinhua.

Xie Jinhua subconsciously touched the plain flowers on his head, smiled and said, "I'm just used to wearing this."

"Since you are going to Yanjing to do business, then stay in Xie's Mansion. I will order someone to clean your house. Qin Shuang, take the eldest lady down to freshen up."

Madam Xie's tone did not allow Xie Jinhua to refuse.

Xie Jinhua didn't want to spoil the old lady's happiness.

"Aunt Qin, I heard that sister Jinyun and the Song family have reconciled."

"Yes, big sister." Xie Jinyun walked behind Xie Jinhua and answered Xie Jinhua's question.

Xie Jinhua turned around quickly, and when he saw Xie Jinyun, he chuckled: "Little sister."

"Sister, long time no see."

The two went back to Longyue Pavilion and talked for two hours.

"I returned to Yanjing this time because of an anonymous letter." Xie Jinhua trusted Xie Jinyun very much, took out the letter she received and handed it to Xie Jinyun.

"Can I take it apart and take a look?" Xie Jinyun asked.

Xie Jinhua said: "Of course."

Xie Jinyun opened the letter, and the familiar handwriting caught her eyes...
