Chapter 523 - 523: A Mission
When they heard the news, a family of women and children had just had breakfast in Yi An Hall and were sitting there chatting.
The first reaction was Madam Wang from the third room.
“Just…Is he dead?” “How did he die?” she asked.
The Wang family of Langya was once a prominent family with a thriving population. All the famous families in Jiankang City had been married to the Wang family. Therefore, even though Emperor Yong Ping had dealt with the men of the Wang family, there were still many women and children of the Wang family who had slipped out through his fingers, not to mention the grandchildren of the Wang family.
The Wang family of the Chu family’s chief branch was also a direct branch of the Wang family of Langya, but they were not in the same room as Madam Wang.
Madam Wang thought highly of herself. As a member of the eldest branch, she was born with eyes on her head and was very proud. Although she pretended to be virtuous to the outside world, how could her own family not know after a long time?
Therefore, the two Wangs did not get along well when they were young.
Later on, they got married separately. Madam Wang, who married into the Chu family’s eldest branch, displayed her fierce methods and was extremely strict with her subordinates. Madam Wang married the third son of the Xie family. At first, the Xie family was burdened by Servant Xie and was almost on the verge of collapse. Later on, although they soared to the sky and became servants, Madam Wang was not the head of the family. She was always lower than Madam Yuan and could not be mentioned in the same breath as the high-spirited Chu Wang family.
At most, the two of them looked better on the surface and gave each other some face. Their temperaments were really incompatible and they were not close to each other.
As a result, when the Wang family fell and all the males were killed, Madam Wang and Madam Chu did not make much of a move.
In terms of distance, Twelfth Madam Wang was the niece of the Chu Wang family. However, Twelfth Madam Wang was the daughter of a concubine and was not valued by the Wang family, nor was she liked by the Chu Wang family.
However, although they were not close, they were close by blood. Madam Wang was inevitably shocked when she heard this.
“I heard that a few days ago, Madam Zhou was so angry that she vomited blood. Is it…Did she die of anger?” The last sentence was directed at Mother Xie.
It was Butler Xie who came in to report. The servant boy sent by the Chu family to deliver the letter did not enter the back residence. After treating the servant to some refreshments, he was sent away.
“This, the person didn’t say.”
Madam Yuan sipped her tea. Could it be that he was exposing his family’s dirty laundry? Sister-in-law has misspoken.”
Madam Wang choked.” We’re all family after all. That’s why I said that. Sister-in-law is too cautious.””
“It’s always right to be careful. You can’t say this in the future.”Mother Xie glanced at Lady Wang.” The Wang family is also your family. You should go and take a look.””
“Also, Twelfth Aunt, you can go together and send the money.”
“Yes,” replied Wang Shierniang quickly.”
Madam Chu was her aunt by blood, so she should go.
“Will sister-in-law come along?” Madam Wang asked. If it was anyone else, she wouldn’t have asked, but the one who died was from the Chu family. The second branch of the Chu family, Madam Yuan, was Madam Yuan’s biological sister. With this relationship, she had to ask.
She was also in-laws with Chuyuan, but she was closer to Lady Yuan.
Madam Wang was such a person who judged the situation and thought it through.
Madam Yuan pondered for a moment.
“I’ll go with you.”
“The Wang family is dead, and her sons will have to retire.”Mother Xie’s words hit the nail on the head, and a dark cloud appeared on her face. “The eldest son of the Chu family just got the emperor to dismiss him from his official position. It’s a pity that Chu Erlang, who married the princess of South County, has only been in office for a few months…”
Drawing lessons from a painful experience:
“I think I have to take good care of my own body. I can’t let Ah Lang’s future ruin me.”
After saying that, she chased all the juniors out of the room. She could do whatever she wanted. She also had a mission to do.
After chasing him away, he took Zhilan to walk around the courtyard. He decided to walk for an hour every day and learn from the task that Xiao Baoxin gave Xie Xian. He insisted on training his body well.
Everyone thought,”Have you thought too much…”
However, Mother Xie’s health was really good. After everyone knew, they did not say anything sarcastic. Whether it was for Xie Xian or the second and third masters of the Xie family, they all had official positions. A long life for Mother Xie was good for everyone in the Xie family. Just like the Chu family’s chief branch, there was nothing they could do.
Even Lady Yuan had privately said to her maid, Qing Shuang,”
“Since Grand Furen has such ambition, I naturally can’t drag Ah Lang down.”
Silently, she woke up an hour earlier and started walking around. However, the wind did not spread out from her courtyard.
Of course, this could not be hidden from Cai Wei’s eyes.
When Xie Xian came back in the evening, his body reeked of alcohol. However, he did not drink. It was obvious how much the people who drank with him had drunk to be able to stain his body with alcohol.
Xie Xian went straight to Yi An Hall and told Mother Xie about the marriage arrangement with the Lu Family.
Just as he had expected, the Grand Servant Qing was happy to see this happen.
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Zu family returned to the Lu Manor, Madam Qi turned around and told the Grand Servant Qing. She could not bear this matter and could not hide it.
The Grand Servant Qing was a noble person, but when he heard that he would marry into the Xie family of Chen Jun, he was sincerely happy. It was impossible for a century-old aristocratic family to submit to the Lu family.
He praised his daughter-in-law for being reliable and fast.
However, he was also thinking that it was really possible that the two daughters-in-law were hot-headed and decided on it privately without the permission of the adults at home.
She didn’t know if she should take this matter seriously or take the bright road. She just wanted to see what the Xie family meant by this. Don’t act as if his family was trying to climb up to the Xie family.
In the end, he didn’t even give the Grand Servant Qing any time to think. After thinking about it carefully, Xie Xian took the initiative to look for him the next day after court.
The Grand Servant Qing laughed. The reputation of being afraid of his wife like a tiger was really not spread blindly. See, when the madam moved her mouth, the dignified Minister Pushe ran off with broken legs.
He didn’t even want to leave the reputation of acting on his own for the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, and actually asked him to announce to the outside that it was a marriage between the two of them.
How could the Grand Servant Qing not agree? He pulled Xie Xian to find his colleagues and went to the residence to drink wine. At the banquet, the two of them announced the news of the marriage, which could be considered as an explanation to Xie Xian.
Thus, after Xie Xian finished putting on a show, he returned to the Xie family to give Mother Xie an explanation.
Mother Xie was speechless for a while.
“Why do you want to marry into the Lu family?” After a pause, the old lady said,”I still don’t know when the little boy and little girl were born…” This kind of situation was usually good for the Tong family, and the relationship between the two parties was extremely close. We and the Lu family…”
Was it that good?
In the past, she did not get along well with the old lady of the Lu family who had died more than ten years ago. She did not even like the Langjun and daughter-in-law of the Lu family. The two families were not enemies, but they were not very good. At least, from the old ladies of the two families, the children of the first wife did not have a history of intermarriage.
This was considered rare in Jiankang City.
After all, the number of aristocratic families could be counted on ten fingers. Every family was deeply intertwined and could be related to relatives..
