"Hey, isn't this Mr. Xie? I heard that your old man was invited by Master Mu to travel far away. Why didn't you go with him? If you can be accepted by Master Mu as a close disciple, you will be the emperor. We are from the same school as Qi Shuai."
"How can it be possible? Taishi Mu has been living in seclusion for many years, and only people like the Duke of the State can be seen. Are we just little guys? Forget it."
"Hey, let's not talk about these big shots. We are having a cultural gathering in Shen Yuan in the next few days. Young Master asked your second sister to come with us. Prince Consort Shen and Young Master Mu are also here."
"That's right, we haven't seen her for a while. Is your uncle planning to find a home for her?"
…
On the third floor of Zuixian Building, Xie Lang was surrounded by a group of children from aristocratic families as soon as he entered the door.
Because of the troubles at home, he hadn't gone out to drink for a few days, so when he heard that these people wanted to have a literary meeting, he immediately agreed.
Of course, there was another reason why he came out today, and that was because Qi Yu had made an appointment to discuss something important with him.
He had just had a few glasses of wine when Qi Yu pulled him into a private room on the third floor, shutting out all the noise.
"What's going on? It's so mysterious. Could it be that you had a way to kill the two bitches in our family?"
After shaking his robe, Xie Lang became angry when he mentioned Aunt Ting at home. That woman was terrible, and the bastard in her belly was even worse.
He and Qi Yu had nothing to do with each other at first, but now they were connected by Feng Xi's evil deeds.
When Qi Yu heard this, a smile appeared on his face:
"Brother Xie, I think you really don't come out much. You don't even know such big news."
"what news?"
Xie Lang was confused. He had been comforting his mother at home recently and really didn't care much about things outside.
Seeing that Xie Lang really didn't know, Qi Yu immediately got up and walked to Xie Lang's side, lowered his body and whispered a few words in his ear.
It didn't matter if he didn't listen. As soon as he heard Xie Lang's words, he stood up and said with joy in his voice:
"Do you really mean what you say?"
Qi Yu nodded: "Do I still dare to lie to you, young master? This has almost spread throughout the noble circle in Shengjing! If you don't believe me, go out and ask other people outside."
After all, this was a big event, so Xie Lang didn't dare to delay and immediately went out for a walk.
And when he returned to the private room, the smile on his face could hardly be hidden.
"Drink, brother Yu, we won't come home until we get drunk today! Hahahaha, without Feng Xi, let's see how long those two skinny horses can be arrogant. Wait, I will let my mother drug her and her when I get back. That bastard!"
Seeing Xie Lang thinking this way, Qi Yu immediately shook his head in disapproval and said:
"Young Master, without Princess Zhaoming as your backer, will it not be easy for you and your aunt to take care of them in the future? Rather than such trivial matters, you and your uncle should focus more on the princess's residence!"
"Princess Mansion?"
Xie Lang stopped drinking, obviously not understanding what Qi Yu meant. Qi Yu was not annoyed and directly pointed out:
"You don't know, right? Princess Zhaoming and that good-for-nothing Qi Xiao returned to the capital not only with Bai Yi and Qi Zhuo, but also with them the unmarried widow of Qi Hong's family. Today's Princess Mansion is not so much a princess The mansion is, rather, Qi Xiao’s private property! Just yesterday, someone saw Qi Xiao sending someone back to the mansion to urge the father-in-law of the princess mansion, Tian Xi, to take stock of the treasury!"
"ah?"
Xie Lang scratched his head, as if he still didn't quite understand what Qi Yu meant.
So Qi Yu simply toasted him and said:
"Brother Xie, I'm not talking about you and uncle. Don't you know how to take good care of your own things when the Duke of the country is away? Who is Qi Xiao? Just a loser who got married with nothing! What? Now the princess is gone Come on, your Xie family actually wants to give him the entire princess mansion? Forget it that he got the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple with the help of the princess. Such a big family fortune! Not to mention the tax revenue of the fiefdom over the years, let’s talk about the money in the princess’s hands. Zhuangzi shop..."
Qi Yuruo said that Xie Lang had no idea about the others, but when he mentioned the taxes of Fengxi fiefdom and Zhuangzi, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He still remembers how that idiot Feng Xi took Zhuangzi from them at the end of last year.
If it weren't for Feng Xi, would he have been teased by so many children of aristocratic families, saying that he promised to travel to the village but then regretted it?
"Hey, Brother Xie, I won't say too much. You should go back and discuss it with your uncle earlier. My father and I also have good intentions, and we really don't want to see Qi Xiao occupying your family's things."
Xie Lang looked at Qi Yu who was filled with emotion. He stood up, thanked him, and left like a breeze with his servant.
It wasn't until Xie Lang disappeared that Qi Yu drank a glass with a smile and said:
"Qi Xiao, Qi Xiao, why don't I want you to have an easy time, brother? It's really His Highness the Crown Prince who said that you can't even take away a grain of rice from the princess's residence."
Returning to Xie's house in a hurry, Xie Lang didn't even have time to see Su Shi or Xie Wanyin who was accompanying Su Shi, so he went straight into Xie Lian's study.
Recently, due to Emperor Shengde's serious illness, many affairs in the DPRK have been stagnant. Therefore, most officials like Xie Lian who came from noble families are working at home.
In addition, his aunt has been very clingy lately, so even if Xie Lang didn't tell Xie Lang about Feng Xi, he really didn't know about it!
But he is not a fool, and there is no way he can just believe what a group of juniors say is true.
I sent my servants to the houses of a number of acquaintances to inquire. When I heard that this matter first came out from the Prince's Mansion and the Fourth Prince's Mansion, I was overjoyed and said:
"Okay, okay! That old guy Qi Su is also afraid of Qi Xiao getting up. They want to take advantage of us, but the benefits are real."
Xie Lian raised his hand and touched his chin. When he thought of his family's tight account books, he couldn't covet the good things in Feng Xi's house.
It happened that my old man was not here, and I, as his son, came to check the treasury for his granddaughter. What's wrong with helping others collect it first?
Besides, he is Feng Xi’s biological uncle!
"Father, do you think the emperor will take care of this matter? What if the emperor wants to take back the princess's mansion and the things in it?"
Although Xie Lang was very jealous of the princess's mansion, he also knew that Qi Xiao was a visitor. Without Feng Xi's personal promise, he would not be able to take anything from the princess's mansion, but he was still a little worried.
After all, Feng Xi was not only a relative of their Xie family, but also had Emperor Sheng De above her.
"Hey, who is the emperor? He is the most noble person in the world! Feng Xi's little possessions are too much in our eyes, but in the eyes of the Nine-Fifth Supreme Being, it is even too little to stuff between his teeth. So the emperor can at most take it back. As for the fiefdom, as for the other things, wouldn’t it be an advantage for Qi Xiao if we don’t fight for it? Besides, the news about the Prince’s Mansion and the Fourth Prince’s Mansion, the Emperor himself is almost..."
Xie Lian was so steadfast in his vow that he had already thought about what he wanted to get first, lest the old man would have to waste time when he came back.
So in the afternoon of the next day, Feng Xi, who was basking in the sun in the courtyard of the side hall of Yangxin Hall, saw Zhao Xifeng running in and shouting in a high-pitched voice:
"Princess, what's wrong, the prince-in-law sent a message saying that he was bullied by the Xie family! You can't ignore such a big matter!"
Feng Xi: "?"
No, do you think I look like a fool?
