Xie Yu'an was brought to the main hall by his parents, and he bowed his head in courtesy.
Then he asked his doubts: "Why did my father and mother arrive in the capital so early?"
Qin Baishuang said: "How early? It's thanks to Xiaojiu that you wrote to me, otherwise we wouldn't know you were bullying little girls like this in the capital."
Qin Baishuang bullied someone when she opened her mouth, and bullied someone when she closed her mouth. Xie Yu'an's expression turned stern when he said this.
"There is no bullying. When Ayin's father returns to Beijing, I will come to propose marriage immediately."
"That's pretty much it." Qin Baishuang was a little satisfied and couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect that you would be quite quick to make a move when I see you being silent on weekdays."
Xie Yu'an looked at Xie Yanxing, who was sitting upright, and couldn't help but curse: No matter how fast he is, can he be faster than you two?
You two are people who can accomplish things in three days.
One day to meet, one day to get engaged, one day to get married.
"Thanks to your father's reminder, we came up from Huaizhou and brought down your wedding gift. You can clear the yard and let Wangshan take people to the dock to unload the goods." Qin Baishuang said again.
Xie Yu'an glanced at his father gratefully again and asked, "How many did you bring?"
"We were walking in a hurry. We picked up some that we could use and gathered two boats together." Xie Yanxing said calmly.
Xie Yu'an nodded, that's not bad, plus what he prepared in Beijing, it's almost enough.
"Madam, I'm thirsty." Xie Yanxing said to Qin Baishuang.
He couldn't get used to drinking tea made by others.
"knew."
Qin Baishuang responded and went out to make tea.
With only the father and son left in the house, Xie Yanxing asked, "Is that the girl who saved your life in Lintai County?"
Xie Yuan nodded: "It's her."
Xie Yanxing recalled Xie Yuan's return from the front line a few years ago, looking like a ghost or a ghost. He drank heavily all day long and became delirious, making everyone around him fearful.
The Xie family members once wanted to change their plans and choose another heir. One day, Xie Yu'an suddenly went to Xiangguo Temple and he was fine when he came back.
Xie Yanxing thought that Master Liaowu had enlightened him, but later he found out that he met someone at Xiangguo Temple.
The second young lady of the Jingan Marquis Mansion has just recognized her ancestor and returned to her clan.
The father and son had a heart-to-heart talk, and then they learned about his experience in the bandit den in Lintai County.
Xie Yanxing glanced at his son again, "Since he is a lifesaver, he should be treated with dignity. Why are you so frivolous?"
Xie Yu'an accepted the mistake and lowered his head to admit his mistake: "It's all my son's fault. He lost control of Meng Lang."
Xie Yanxing asked again: "Have you made it clear that you broke the promise?"
Xie Yu'an lamented that he could never compare to his father in terms of insight into people's hearts.
Xie Yanxing is indeed the person who knows Xie Yuan best. Seeing his expression like this, he has already guessed the result.
"That means we haven't said anything yet? Xie Yu'an, be careful and you will end up in vain." Xie Yanxing reminded.
Xie Yu'an felt apprehensive for no reason, and said hurriedly: "Thank you, father, for reminding me. My son will confess everything tomorrow."
Xie Yuan retreated, and Qin Baishuang came in with tea.
"You know how to scare your son. Have you done a lot of ridiculous things? Didn't you also hide the secret from me for six years? Did I make trouble with you?"
"You whipped me in front of everyone." Xie Yanxing said coldly.
Qin Baishuang was exhausted: "Isn't it right? You almost killed your son and killed me. I didn't take my son to reconcile with you, so I only gave you a whip to give you an advantage!"
"So I advised him to confess as soon as possible and not follow my mistakes." Xie Yanxing added.
Qin Baishuang was stunned for a moment, she was convinced.
Anyway, in the past twenty years, she could not say anything good about him.
……
Qiao Yin returned to Jingan Hou Mansion, Qiao Mo was still in the study, and the door of the study was closed.
I heard from my servant that the light in the study was on all night last night.
The eldest young master spent all his sleep and food writing, and even asked someone to go out and buy a new stack of rice paper.
It seems that he is really tempted, and I don't know if the "wholehearted" letter of guarantee can impress Xue Wanran.
Qiao Yin went back to her room to prepare calming tea. She remembered the recipe she had given to Lu Jinzhi before, but Qiao Yin didn't want to give Xie Yu'an the same thing now.
She rummaged through the tea recipes she had collected before, looking for a more suitable one.
It's okay to mix one kind or two. Qiao Yin simply mixed a can of each of the soothing, refreshing and refreshing ones.
Thinking that Xie Yu'an's parents were here, they couldn't miss it, so they rummaged again and prepared a side of beauty tea for Mrs. Xie and health tea for Mr. Xie.
Especially for Mr. Xie. I heard that Mr. Xie was particularly good at tasting tea, so Qiao Yin paid special attention to it.
While Qiao Yin was busy, Bizhu came back from wandering out of nowhere, and started shouting as soon as she entered the door.
"Miss, miss, something big happened."
Qiao Yin didn't even raise his head: "What happened? Your money bag was stolen again?"
The only thing that Qiao Yin could think of that could make Bizhu panic so much was that the last time they went out on the street, a pickpocket quietly stole her purse, which made Bizhu mad.
Qiao Yin asked her to help with work and subsidized her with ten small whitebait before she recovered.
Bizhu ran in, touched the money bag around her waist first, and then replied: "Miss, Concubine Lu in the palace got an emergency and died suddenly."
"The third prince also made a king and created a fief, but he went to the barren Liangzhou and will have to leave the capital next month. People outside were talking that the assassin in the paddock that day was arranged by the third prince. The third prince was dissatisfied with the emperor's choice. The prince was the heir, and he wanted to seize power and frame the blame, but something happened. The emperor originally wanted to depose the third prince, but the noble concubine pleaded for mercy and paid for the third prince's crime with her own life..."
The movements in Qiao Yin's hands finally stopped, "Bizhu, just listen to these words, let's not get involved."
The fight for power is not something they can do.
"Bizhu knows the seriousness, so I only dare to say this to Miss. Miss, in addition to the affairs in the palace, there are also big things happening in the Duke's mansion."
Compared to just now, Bizhu's expression was even more excited now.
"I heard that news from the palace reached the Duke's Mansion, and that Duke Lu was vomiting blood."
Qiao Yin was not surprised. Lu Guogong put the entire family on the third prince. The third prince was expelled from the capital, and the Lu family was half in despair.
The entire Lu family was destroyed at the hands of Duke Lu. It would be strange that Duke Lu was not angry and vomited blood.
"That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that shopkeeper Lu took away all the property in the Duke's mansion and ran away!" Bizhu said again.
Qiao Yin was finally startled: "Brother Lu Yizhilu?"
Bi Zhu nodded: "Yes, the eldest son of the Lu family. People said that he seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. People from the Duke's Mansion searched all over the city and couldn't find him. All the shops in the Duke's Mansion were closed overnight."
"After hearing the news, all branches of the Lu family gathered in the Duke's Mansion, clamoring to divide the family and divide the ancestral property. There was a lot of quarrels. Several branches of the Lu family made a fuss, saying that the Duke's Mansion was going to fall, and the first one would be there. The Duke's Mansion was robbed, and the scene was very chaotic."
"Now the entire Lu family is in chaos. Mr. Lu Guo fainted and fell to the ground one after another. The arrogant Mrs. Lu also lost half of her life in anger."
"I heard that Lu Jinzhi was forced to raise a knife, and then he managed to calm the situation."
To be able to deal such a fatal blow to the Duke's Mansion...
"Tsk, miss, how much money do you think Shopkeeper Lu made?" Bizhu couldn't help but sigh.
Qiao Yin pursed her lips and said nothing. The Lu family was on the verge of life and death. It was up to Lu Jinzhi to see if he could stand up.
But what does this have to do with her?
It doesn't matter.
Qiao Yin had no relationship with Lu Jinzhi for a long time, and Yan Ruyu was busy cutting off the last connection with Lu Jinzhi.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, and Yan Ruyu handed the things in her hands to the maid outside the carriage.
Those were Lu Jinzhi's Geng Tie and a purple booklet.
"Leave it to Lu Jinzhi."
Yan Ruyu originally put down her things and was about to leave, but she didn't expect Lu Jinzhi to react so quickly this time.
He held the booklet and chased it out, "Who wrote this booklet?"
