Chapter 30 Curiosity
He Tan could tell that Xie was very smart, but she really couldn't figure out how Wang Hechun could determine her identity?
Moreover, this is the first time Wang Hechun has mentioned his marriage.
He Tan's thoughts were all on the war, and all he could think about was trying to get the imperial court to build troops in the border areas. He was away from home all year round and was not very concerned about his marriage.
Since he can't stay with his mother, these things will be decided by her mother according to her wishes. After getting married, he would try his best to be a good husband, so his mother planned to marry a daughter from a noble family for him, and he obediently agreed. Even though he felt that his mother's plan would be difficult to come true, he never questioned it in front of his mother.
Wang Hechun was different from him. The Wang family also wanted to marry the aristocratic family, but Wang Hechun firmly rejected it.
Last year the Queen Mother wanted to grant marriage, but Wang Hechun still refused.
Because of this, it is rumored that Wang Hechun met an immortal when he was young, and he only wanted to practice Taoism without marrying a wife.
My mother was worried a lot and asked him several times to try to find out what He Chun was saying.
Isn’t this just an opportunity?
He Tan rushed forward and caught up with Wang Hechun: "I didn't expect that you, like my mother, would praise the daughter of the aristocratic family so much."
Wang Hechun looked calm: "The daughter of the aristocratic family knows how to judge the situation and will help you manage the inner house, so My aunt said that my brother will have a smooth future if he marries a girl from a noble family. "
He Tan said with a smile: "What about the girls from the noble families that the Wang family found for you? Why don't you choose one of them to get married? How does the Xie family compare with them?"
Wang Hechun said: "Not as good."
He Tan raised his eyebrows: "I said, the Wang family always has good taste, as you say. The Xies are all like my mother said, those people are..."
Wang Hechun interrupted He Tan: "I said, they are not as good as Xie."
He Tan was startled. Is this the second time Wang Hechun praised Xie? Could it be that you have fallen in love with that little lady? He was about to try to test it again when he heard Wang Hechun's voice sounded again.
"A daughter from an aristocratic family can take care of your family affairs, help you in your official career, honor your elders, and have children..." Wang Hechun's eyes deepened slightly when he said this, "But she can still return the favor with you just yesterday. You know each other, and I will take your life today."
"Do you want such a pillow?"
Wang Hechun couldn't help but think of his grandmother, who came from a famous family in Daliang.
On weekdays, she always talks to him warmly, and when she looks at him, her eyes are full of smiles. She often touches his head affectionately and tells him interesting stories.
But my grandfather angered the emperor and was kicked out of the court and accused of various crimes. She also easily abandoned her grandfather, father and them all without any nostalgia.
This is the daughter of an aristocratic family. There is no sincerity in their hearts, only gains and losses.
He Tan finally figured it out. No wonder Wang Hechun refused those marriages. When his aunt brought Wang Hechun to the He family, it was the time when the Wang family was in turmoil.
Wang Hechun's grandmother Cui also returned to the Cui family with his grandfather Heli. Wang Hechun had been close to his grandmother since he was a child, and his grandmother also taught him about enlightenment. This incident was a great blow to Wang Hechun.
Wang Hechun hadn't shown such emotions for a long time. He Tan couldn't help but be more curious about Miss Xie. Which family was she from?
“Then Miss Xie’s family, I want to take a closer look,” said He Tan. “If it’s the same as what you said, when I go back this time, I will also reject my mother and let her choose for me in a down-to-earth manner. A female member of an ordinary family."
Wang Hechun didn't respond. When he saw Chen Ju approaching, he immediately ordered: "Let people set up barriers at the city gate and everywhere to prevent anyone from escaping."

Xie Yuyan picked up the tea and took a sip, her expression indifferent, as if she was not listening to the gentlemen and women around her.
Mother Yu glanced at Xie Yuyan cautiously, dipped her pen in the ink, and continued to write seriously, not daring to be negligent in the slightest. She was even sure that if she had other thoughts and made a "mistake" note, the lady would be worried. Can be caught immediately.
Wait until the ladies have finished speaking.
Xie Yuyan then said: "I will not believe everything you said, but will verify it carefully."
The ladies immediately responded.
“Everyone has worked hard for a long time, so go back and rest!”
The men and women breathed a sigh of relief and walked out, but before they left the yard, they realized something was wrong.
A few fierce stewards were waiting at the door, obviously sent by the second old lady.
When they leave the house with their front foot, their back foot will be taken down. The men and women looked at each other and finally chose to return to the flower hall.
“Madam,” the lady whispered, “we may not be able to get out.”
Xie Yuyan raised her eyes: "What happened?"
The old lady said: "The second old lady is waiting to arrest someone." There were military patrols around, so the second old lady did not dare to interfere with what was being handed over to her. But the military patrolmen could not follow them home.
As long as you are alone, you will be invited to the Second Old Lady’s Courtyard.
They didn't think of this before, and now they realize it's too late.
Xie Yuyan seemed to have finally figured it out: "It seems that the job the second lady gave me is not easy to do. I punish the steward of the second room and check the accounts of the second room. How can the second old lady just give up? Wait for the people in the government office. After leaving, she will take revenge. What should you do?”
This sounded like he was very worried.
But Xie Yuyan's tone was too indifferent, and there was really no credibility.
Since this worry is false, she must have expected this step.
The men and women looked at each other. It seemed that the lady was too lazy to cover up what she wanted to do.
“We all listen to the eldest lady’s orders.”
Someone spoke, and the others responded.
Xie Yuyan said: "In my opinion, if someone threatens you from the side all the time, it is better to hold him down completely so that he never has a chance to stand up again."
Everyone felt cold, this A eldest lady, do you want to completely break up with the second old man and the second old lady?
If you think about it carefully, the lady is right.
Anyway, it is rare to get good results if you go out now, so it is better to fight with them and save yourself, which is also a great achievement for the second lady.
Xie Yuyan looked at Mama Yu next to her: "Mama Yu, what do you say?"
Mama Yu's face tightened. These ladies didn't know the inside story, but she knew that the second lady did not let Xie check the accounts. , it is even more impossible for Xie to attack the second old man and the old lady. If she opens her mouth to cater to her, and the news gets out, the second lady may not be able to protect her?
Mom Yu hasn’t found an excuse yet.
Xie Yuyan said again: "What? Mom Yu is different from us, you have another way to escape?"
Mother Yu's feet went soft, and all the blood in her body seemed to have been drained.
Only then did Xie Yuyan remember: "Everyone told a lot of inside information, but Mama Yu didn't say a word. Mama Yu has been in charge of the second house for so many years, but she doesn't know anything?" She was sweating and her mind was buzzing. She really didn't want to hear what Xie said anymore, but now she seemed to have no choice.
Every pair of eyes in the room fell on her. She dared to open her mouth to shirk. There was no need to go out and be taken care of by the second old lady. These people could eat her now.
Mother Yu took a deep breath. She turned to look at Xie Yuyan again, wanting to ask for grace for herself. She also had two grandchildren and an old man who was seriously ill.
Xie Yuyan's eyes did not fall on her at all, but said: "Mom, you are still hesitant now? You have clearly remembered what everyone said just now, are you planning to tell the second old lady in the future? ”
Yu's mother's heart felt like it was tightly grasped by someone, and she couldn't breathe at all. Her eyes widened and she couldn't hide her look of surprise.
How did Mr. Xie know that she had contact with the second old lady?
She is not the eye sent by the second old lady to the second lady, but she does not take advantage of the second old lady and helps the second old lady deliver some news.
She didn't mean to betray the second lady, she just wanted to please both sides and remain invincible.
In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts flashed through Yu’s mother’s mind, but none of them allowed her to escape. She said in a trembling voice: “I heard… that the second old master bought a village for the fourth master. Just... outside Beicheng... In fact, the Fourth Master lives there many times, and there are many people in Zhuangzi... all supported by money from the clan."
Thank you for the reward from Subduing Demons and Subduing Demons, and thank you all for your love and support.
