The third branch of the Xie family has always been very active in doing things, especially when it comes to real benefits such as money and money, which can only be done if it is finalized yesterday.
There is no way, the Xie family has three rooms in total. Although the eldest brother, Xie Bin, is the son of Xie Guogong's brother, and his relationship with Xie Guogong is not as close as that of the second and third rooms, he is a promising family.
Not to mention his official position as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, his eldest son Xie Yao is also a second-ranked Jinshi. Two years ago, he was appointed by the emperor as a fifth-rank member of the Ministry of Punishment. Even his second daughter Xie Wanyin was asked by many nobles in Beijing. The best girl I can't ask for.
Let's talk about the second wife who was forced by the deceased Duke's wife and Queen Zhaoyue. Although Feng Xi was just a name in the Xie family, Feng Xi was a titled princess!
Not to mention that this family was already rich, but now she has contributed to disaster relief and has become the protector of the country. This large amount of money alone is enough to make people greedy.
Comparing the three of them, Xie Lian was the minister of Dali Temple in their third house. Although he was a third-rank official and was Qi Xiao's immediate superior, he was originally a noble, so one can imagine the importance of his appointment.
In other words, Qi Xiao is a real poor person, but he is actually a false title to support the elderly.
In addition, Qi Xiao still has the title of Prince Consort. If he is allowed to occupy the family property of the Princess Mansion, wouldn't it mean that he would be arrogant and arrogant over Xie Lian?
Thinking about his and Xie Lang's daily expenses, and the old man's stingy attitude toward them recently, Xie Lian felt that it would be impossible if he didn't plan carefully!
Not only that, just last night, the servant in the mansion got back two secret letters, saying that someone had forced them on him when he was on the street.
This is incredible. When I look at him, Xie Lian feels like he has been smashed by a piece of cake from the sky. He can't even get fat this time!
So he tossed and turned all night, and woke up Xie Lang at dawn, and sent someone to deliver a message to the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, asking Qi Xiao and other nominal relatives to come and help him.
Everything was ready, and Xie Lian, Princess Zhaoming's uncle, finally led the group in person. The group went straight to the princess's mansion without avoiding the common people and traders who were passing by.
These people, especially the most prosperous group of people under the Emperor's feet!
During the day, I was idle. When I saw Xie Lian and other nobles forming such a large group, they didn't avoid people at all. How could I not follow them and watch the excitement?
Not only these common people, but also many carriages dropped slowly behind, those who helped, those who watched the excitement, those who received the news and wanted to make trouble for Qi Xiao...
And the teahouse closest to the princess's mansion, with its window facing the mansion's entrance, was secretly booked by a nobleman and was not open to the public at all.
It was under such public attention that Xie Lian, who was leading the team, waved his hand, stepped forward and said:
"Everyone, my princess niece suddenly suffered from a serious illness in the palace recently, and there is no cure for her. Her consort Qi Xiao just didn't take good care of her in the palace. Instead, he sent someone back to the palace to take stock of the family property while the princess was dying!"
"Everyone knows that I, Dazhao, have express regulations on marrying into a married woman. A married woman who is less than 18 years old and has no children cannot inherit the property of his wife's family! And Qi's son-in-law's move is clearly intended to seize the family property. I think my princess niece has no one to protect her! "
"Why is this? This is a desperate act!"
As soon as Xie Lian said this, the faces of the people watching suddenly changed, and they all whispered to each other.
Some people exclaimed that Princess Protector was so young, why did she suddenly die?
There were also people who commented on the consort Qi Xiao, and those who knew how the two got married were inevitably thinking divergently.
In addition, Xie Lian said that Qi Xiao was extremely poor, and everyone immediately had a reference in their minds.
You must know that their Jozhao law was revised on the basis of the previous dynasty, and since the empress of the previous dynasty, there have been clear provisions on son-in-law!
There is no other way. There are actually many men with vicious minds who, in the name of marrying into the family, seek out families with only one or two daughters and considerable wealth.
It would be fine if these people lived happily with other girls, but they have all kinds of ideas in their hearts!
Some wives' families have experienced injuries and illnesses since he left, and the number of people in the family has been reduced day by day. In the end, only the man is left.
What's more, when the father-in-law and mother-in-law passed away, they bullied an orphaned girl, seized the family property, and kicked the girl out of the house.
During the empress's period, there was a noble couple who were very loving and had only one daughter.
So the couple found a son-in-law for their daughter, and they got married.
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened to the couple. Tanhua Lang was so talented that he actually drugged his wife, took over the family property, and had sex with several concubines.
The empress was furious and directly issued a decree to prevent the married woman from inheriting his wife's property.
If it had not been given to the wife personally during her lifetime, and there were letters, yamen, and many people testifying, the property of the wife's family would either belong to her close relatives or be confiscated by the government.
As soon as this decree came out, those who "eat every household" suddenly stopped.
However, government decrees always have their drawbacks. This one-size-fits-all approach to married couples has also caused many married couples to lose the rights they should have had. Even when they are old, they will be kicked out of their homes because their wives left first and did not have time to leave the certificate.
So after the founding of Dazhao, the decree was changed to provide that as long as the married couple had been with their wives for more than eighteen years and had children, they could inherit the family business.
It can be regarded as finding a balance in safeguarding the rights and interests of both parties.
As a result, Qi Xiao had only been in the princess's house for more than two years and had no children. If the princess died early, he would indeed be ineligible to inherit the family business.
Unless the princess promises to give him the family property.
Not to mention the upper echelons of Shengjing, even the people at the lowest level in Shengjing knew that the relationship between the two was extremely bad. It would be good if Princess Zhaoming did not abuse each other. How could she give him the family property?
Moreover, this sudden illness is connected with taking inventory of furniture, how can we not make people think about it?
For a time, the families who had some property in Beijing and only had a daughter at home were filled with indignation, secretly thinking that the consort Qi Xiao had evil intentions.
Seeing that the effect he wanted was achieved, Xie Lian took advantage of the victory and pursued it:
"You don't know, but my niece looks fierce, but she is actually a kind-hearted master. Marquis Jingyuan can testify for me that my niece picked up Qi Xiao's sister-in-law from the Qi Mansion before going to the North to provide relief. My nephew and I returned to Beijing this time and brought back Qi Er’s unmarried wife.”
"Let me put it mildly. Now the whole princess's house is filled with members of the Qi family. Aren't her intentions sinister enough?"
As soon as Xie Lian finished speaking, Jingyuan Hou Qi Su and his son Qi Yu stood up as witnesses.
Not only them, there were also people from many aristocratic families who had good relations with Xie Lian, and all of them lamented that people's hearts had deteriorated over time, saying that Xie Lian, as an uncle, was really perceptive and very protective of his princess niece.
Seeing the shouts outside the house getting louder and louder, mixed with all kinds of unpleasant words, Sun Qingzhi, who was standing with Tianxi, tightened the knife in her hand, but she also knew that if she took action rashly, something bad would happen.
Tolerate.
She had to endure it.
Fortunately, at this moment, a luxurious carriage came from not far away. It looked like the standard of the Princess Protector's Mansion.
