Chapter 271 Meeting Mrs. Xie
Time flew away like an arrow, and in a blink of an eye, August of the fourth year of Taihe came quietly.

In the past, the world in Daliang was in turmoil. Since Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty died in February, and Emperor Wen set up a hundred operas for prostitutes in May of the same year, the entire Daliang did not give up music because of funerals, and practiced simple mourning.That is to say, after a hundred days of mourning, filial sons and filial daughters will go out of the mourning period, and they can talk about marriage and marriage.

Therefore, at the end of August, both Fuxuan and Fuyun took off their filial piety.

Fuyun returned to the secretary's supervision again, and the marriage with the third princess was gradually put on the agenda.

As for Fuxuan, she will finally have a chance to see Zhang Yao and her newborn child.

Outside the Crane Garden, a plain and simple carriage appeared.

Mrs. Xie Fourth Madam Wang lifted the curtains of the carriage slightly, and secretly looked at the plaque in the Crane Garden through the gap.

As the mother-in-law said, this Crane Garden is really elegant, profound and magnificent.

Not to mention anything else, just the rare species of vines and emerald green bamboos climbing out of the courtyard wall, and the perennial flowers protruding from the corner of the wall, you can peek out without entering the courtyard door, and the inside must be different from Xie's mansion. Poorly exquisite embellishment arrangement.

It covers an incomparably vast area, not to mention taking up half a street, and the location is by the very famous Xizhao Lake.

Just now she saw that there is a meandering stone path covered by green bamboos on the west side of the Crane Garden, which leads directly to Xizhao Lake. Even people who can't swim can borrow this object to cool off by splashing in the lake.

Living here is truly a blessing.

After walking around the Crane Garden twice, the coachman looked around again, and seeing the doorman staring at this place vigilantly, he couldn't help but feel guilty and said: "Fourth Madam, it's already the third day, and it will be a little while later." It's the time of the next court, if the Patriarch looks back and sees..."

Hearing the word "patriarch", Mrs. Wang couldn't help shrinking back, but in a blink of an eye, she remembered Wang Zhiyi's swearing words and her mother-in-law's expectant eyes, and then she felt relieved.

She wants to see, is that girl really disregarding her shame, going in and out of Liu Lang's other courtyard?

Wang's carriage stopped outside the gate of Crane Garden, waiting for the rabbit.

Later, Mrs. Wang went back to Xie's mansion, instead of going back to her own courtyard, but went directly to Wenxitang to report.

Hearing what the fourth daughter-in-law said, Mrs. Xie immediately threw the account book in her hand on the table with a "snap", her eyes darkened.

"You saw that with your own eyes, who entered the Crane Garden?" Mrs. Xie confirmed to Mrs. Wang unwillingly.

Mrs. Wang nodded, "Daughter-in-law won't admit it wrong. The word 'Fu' is still hung on the carriage. Isn't there only one girl in the Fu family? The girl who comes down from above can't be someone else."

Mrs. Xie's face darkened, "I can't wait to go to Langjun's courtyard just after the filial piety period, what is the dignity!"

Mrs. Wang didn't dare to answer, she just received an errand.

Mrs. Xie was silent.

Xie Zhan rested outside the mansion most of the time for several months, at first she really believed what Shi Qing said, because of busy work, she rested in a nearby courtyard.

But later she sent out a servant to invite Xie Zhan, who was resting in the Osmanthus Garden, to return home, but the servant replied that he had gone to the Osmanthus Garden, but the porter said that he had not seen his master for several months. She suddenly felt uneasy.

The best courtyard under Xie Zhan's name is Gui Garden in Fangyuan Lane, and the other is the famous Crane Garden in Jiankang City. If Xie Zhan doesn't rest in Gui Garden, he probably rests in Crane Garden.Then he sent someone to Crane Garden to ask again.

But the concierge at the other end of the Crane Garden was very strange. After several inquiries, he only said that the master was not there, and did not reveal a word.The young man sent to inquire around, what the people around him said was even more shocking, saying that the person who came in and out of this place was a girl, not a gentleman.

When the four daughters-in-law went back to their natal home to visit relatives during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Wang family was also talking about it, and there seemed to be a girl living in the Crane Garden. After collecting these two pieces of information, Mrs. Xie immediately turned pale with anger.

Doesn't it mean that her sixth son raised a concubine in Crane Garden?

As an aristocratic family with unparalleled rules, the head of the family has raised an outside room before the first wife enters the door. If this news gets out, what will be the face of the entire Xie family?
Moreover, Mrs. Xie's heart was suspended because of Xie Zhan's disobedience and filial piety over and over again, always filled with an unthinkable premonition.

And this premonition came true again today—the outer room was indeed the supporting girl.

After being silent for a while, Mrs. Xie managed to suppress the shock in her heart, and asked Wang: "Is that person still in the Crane Garden at this moment?"

Wang said: "When the daughter-in-law came back, she was still there."

Mrs. Xie stood up abruptly, and told Wang Shi, "You come with me, I want to see how she wants to disrespect public morals."

Mrs. Wang regretted it in her heart, but she just casually told her mother-in-law about her natal family's gossip, so why did she get involved in this big event that didn't end easily at first sight?If Shiro heard about this, how would she deal with it?

The courtyard is full of autumn wind, the phoenix trees are rustling, and the begonias are densely clustered.

Coming to the Crane Garden again, Fuxuan had mixed feelings in her heart. She walked leisurely in the courtyard while waiting for Zhang Yao to come.

Before he could finish digesting all the worries in his heart, someone from the concierge came up to pass a message, saying that Mrs. Xie was outside the mansion and wanted to come in and talk to her.

Counting from entering Jiankang City, she only met Mrs. Xie once at the Fuqun Banquet in the Liu Mansion in June last year. She has never had a face-to-face conversation. Since the other party came to the door in person and had something to say, she might as well After hearing it, he asked the concierge to invite people to the waterside pavilion by the lotus pond.

Mrs. Xie never expected that she would be stopped by the porter when entering her son's other courtyard.

When her personal nurse stepped forward to identify herself, the concierge actually asked them to stay where they were and wait, and they went in to ask the master for instructions before speaking back.She wanted to enter forcefully, but before reaching the eaves, a group of guards rushed out, surrounded them, and pointed at them with knives.

Mrs. Xie's body was stiff, and she endured it again and again, and after getting the permission from the servant who came running from the Crane Garden, she was led in by the guards.

The weather in early autumn is only a little cool, and the breeze gently sways the vines and flower branches, bringing a soft rustling sound and a burst of refreshing floral fragrance.

Walking through the zigzag water corridor, when Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Wang arrived, Fuxuan bowed by the waterside to feed the fish.

Seeing the two people appear, Fuxuan handed the fish food to Moyun, and walked a few steps forward to welcome them.

Wang glanced at the angry mother-in-law, and then at Fuxuan.Even if she doesn't want to admit it, she has to say that this Fujia girl is really beautiful.

Black hair supported by plain clothes, light and willow waist, graceful and elegant, as pretty as a peach branch in March.

"Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Fourth Young Master." Fu Xuan stepped forward and greeted the two calmly with the attitude of a master.

Mrs. Xie looked at the person from the beginning to the end a few times, followed by Fuxuan's invitation, sat down at the stone table, and asked straight to the point: "Why is Miss Fu here?"
