Chapter 66 "From now on, Tingzhou and Qinghuan have nothing to do with your Xie family!"
After Marquis Xuanping left, Xie Zhiqiu asked Xie Nan and Xie Zi to go back home first.
Xie Zhichun was left behind to discuss countermeasures.
The old lady also received the news and hobbled over.
As I walked in, I heard two brothers arguing.
"I absolutely do not approve of this marriage!
Regardless of family tradition or scholarly character...
It would be fine if the sisters married each other with one wife and one concubine!
Unfortunately, both Xie Nan and Xie Zi were born out of wedlock, so neither of them could become the legal wife!
Isn't this hilarious? "
Xie Zhichun doesn't think so.
"They are just two concubines' daughters. It is considered a high marriage to marry into the Marquis' Mansion!"
Xie Zhiqiu became even more annoyed after hearing this.
He slammed the table hard.
"Marrying high? What kind of marriage is that if you become a concubine?
Are you willing to see your two daughters unable to hold their heads up in the Marquis' Mansion?
If they give birth to children in the future, will they be made slaves or maids by the legitimate wife?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhichun buried his head even deeper.
"But now that things have come to this, what can I do?"
The old lady came in and came to mediate.
"Zhiqiu, don't be anxious... Zhichun is right, things have come to this..."
"Mother!"
Xie Zhiqiu was convinced.
At this time, the old lady not only did not blame him for the lax family tradition, but also spoke up for Xie Zhichun!
He sighed and expressed his thoughts.
“Although the two daughters have lost their reputation for chastity, they have the support of the Xiangfu. If they can marry into businessmen or farmers, they can still live a peaceful life!
If you don't want to be someone's concubine, you don't have to be inferior to others!"
Xie Zhichun disagreed and stood up angrily.
“I see you just stand and talk without any back pain!
You are the prime minister, so you naturally don't need to rely on your children and in-laws to stabilize the court.
But for me, being associated with the Marquis of Xuanping is also a meteoric rise to prominence!"
Xie Zhiqiu was stunned, unable to believe it.
"Xie Zhichun, you actually think so!
They are your daughters! Not tools for you to gain power!"
Xie Zhichun became angry and swung his sleeves.
"Don't criticize me from a moral high ground! Don't you also never treat illegitimate children as human beings?"
"put……"
Xie Zhiqiu was so angry that he almost swore.
"Nonsense! At least I won't watch Qingwan become someone else's concubine!"
I saw the two brothers arguing fiercely.
The old lady glared at Xie Qinghuan fiercely.
“It’s all because of you, a loser!
If you hadn't exposed this matter and ruined Nan'er and Zi'er's reputation, how could Zhichun have come to this dilemma! "
Xie Qinghuan:?
Xie Zhiqiu was also speechless.
"Mother! What does this have to do with Qing Huan?
If you don’t know, you can’t do it yourself!
Fortunately, things can still be turned around now. Would it be better if the situation got out of hand before being discovered?"
The old lady has always been partial to Xie Zhichun's family.
Hearing this, he snorted coldly.
"Hmm... I finally understand.
Your solution is to let my two beautiful granddaughters marry common men and live their lives in vain!"
Before the old lady finished her biased words, a light shout came from outside the door.
"Heh... The Xie family really has a strict family tradition!"
Xie Zhiqiu heard the voice.
He hurriedly took Xie Tingzhou and Xie Qinghuan and went out to greet them.
"Father-in-law, why are you here?"
"Grandpa!"
Xie Qinghuan rushed over and hugged General Luo's arm.
As soon as she saw her third brother bowing to her father behind her grandfather, she knew.
It was the third brother who was afraid that Marquis Xuanping would embarrass her, so he brought reinforcements to help her!
Luo Sanqian was pushed by the servants. He glanced at Xie Qinghuan and saluted Xie Zhiqiu.
"Master Prime Minister."
Xie Zhiqiu nodded at him and helped General Luo to sit down.
General Luo touched Xie Qinghuan's head lovingly and scolded:
"Humph, if I don't come soon, my good grandson will be bullied!"
He glanced at the old lady sitting in the main seat on the other side intentionally or unintentionally.
The old lady was indignant, but she couldn't refute it.
I could only smile sarcastically:
"Who can bully her? This Xiangfu has become her world!"
"Shouldn't it be?"
General Luo was angry.
Staring at Xie Zhiqiu.
"Not to mention the Prime Minister's Mansion, even the imperial court should be the world of the young... Don't you think so?"
Xie Zhiqiu could only stand to one side and nod his head continuously.
"Father-in-law is absolutely right!"
The old lady rolled her eyes at Xie Zhiqiu's servile appearance.
He snorted.
General Luo ignored her.
Go straight.
"On the way here, I heard that you were going to bring your two daughters to the Marquis's mansion as concubines?"
Xie Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment.
Explain quickly.
"My father-in-law, you are joking. I don't have so many concubines..."
General Luo nodded.
"It's good that it's not you. My granddaughter will be the mother of the country in the future. She can't afford to lose this person!"
Xie Zhichun was stunned when he heard this.
I had an idea and spoke up with courage.
“Although Nan’er and Zi’er are not Qinghuan’s biological sisters, they are still her cousins after all.
If General Luo comes forward, perhaps... one of them can also become a marquis' wife..."
Xie Zhiqiu was stunned after hearing this.
How dare he say that!
Not to mention Xie Zhiqiu, even Xie Qinghuan and Xie Tingzhou were dumbfounded!
I already knew Xie Zhichun had no shame...
I didn't expect that he was so shameless!
Only the old lady agreed with what she heard and smiled regardless of General Luo's gloomy face.
"That's right, dear...
If you intercede on my behalf, it won't be a problem for Nan'er to become a marquis' wife."
Xie Zhiqiu hurriedly winked and gestured to her.
But she seemed to be old and her eyes were blurry and she couldn't see anything.
General Luo smashed the teacup so hard that she became speechless.
"Huh! Xie Zhiqiu! Do you think so too?"
Xie Zhiqiu quickly knelt on the ground.
Admit your mistakes.
"Father-in-law, calm down. Mother, she was just joking..."
The old lady was still stubborn.
"Xie Zhiqiu! You are the prime minister, how can you kneel before an old man who no longer holds an official position!"
"Mother! Shut up!"
Is that a matter of official position?
Looking around the court, how many people support him just for General Luo’s sake?
Even though he has no official position now, his children and grandchildren are still defending their country on the battlefield!
Not to mention him, even the emperor has to give the old general some face!
But the old lady just can't figure it out.
"What? What did I say is wrong?
No matter how glorious he was in the past, he is now an old man without any official title or rank..."
Xie Qinghuan couldn't listen any more.
It would be fine if the old woman looked down on her, but how dare she slander her grandfather?
"Grandma, be careful with your words! My grandfather spent his entire life in the military and made so many contributions to Dayan!
If it's true as my grandmother said, people should be abandoned when they get old!
In this room, besides my grandfather, there are many people who should be kicked out the most! "
"You...are sharp-tongued and lawless!"
The old lady was furious.
General Luo was very pleased.
"Hehehe... My darling grandson has grown up and knows how to protect his grandfather. Come on, teach him how to love him!"
"Growing up? Only growing in talking skills!"
The old lady's white hair trembled with anger.
General Luo frowned.
"Why did Madam Xie say that?
Since the Xie family doesn't think highly of my two good grandchildren, and I don't want them to suffer here, why not make it clear today!"
He looked down at Xie Zhiqiu who was kneeling on the ground.
"Just try to marry the concubine of the Xie family into the Marquis's mansion and make her the Marquis's wife!
I, an old man, will take my daughter and grandson back to the Luo family!
From now on, Tingzhou and Qinghuan have nothing to do with your Xie family!"
