Liu Xueyi did not deliberately want to cause the Xie family to fight within the family, but simply wanted to divert Xie Xiuwen's attention.
After all, if strictly speaking, the main culprits in this matter are the Xie family.
So what if Song Tingting revealed her intention to become Xie Xiuwen's wife?
If Grandma Xie doesn't agree, who can force them to go out and harm Liu Ruolan?
Xie Xiuwen also understood what Liu Xueyi meant. After accepting the one hundred taels of silver notes, he thought that he couldn't just let the matter go.
The Song family and the Liu family have been doing business for several generations. There was no rule in the Dazhi Dynasty that business registration was not subject to scientific examination, but business registration was indeed easily looked down upon by others, but it was hard to stop people from being rich!
For ordinary people, no matter how bad their business status is, they can still eat well, wear well, and live well!
Xie Xiuwen also took into account the extensive connections between their two families, so he chose to settle the matter, because he knew that even if he didn't intend to let it go, there was nothing he could do.
Who let Mei Lan bite him to death because he had bad intentions?
There is no physical evidence or witness, so Mei Lan and Hu San can only take the blame.
A few days later, Xie Xiuwen went to Master Xu to hand in his homework, and then returned with a few books. This cycle continued, and Xie Xiuwen's knowledge improved rapidly.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and Mingshan Academy has given all its students a holiday. Considering that some students are far away from home, they have been given a total of ten days of leave so that they can go back and reunite with their families.
Xie Xiuwen was relatively close, and some were out of the state capital. Just on the road, it would take three or four days to get back and forth.
After Xie Xiuwen learned about the rest, he immediately asked Douzi to pack his things and prepare to rush back overnight.
There happened to be a few fellow villagers, and after some discussion, someone sent a boy to find the nearest escort agency to escort them all the way back. The cost was shared equally by everyone, which was more economical than hiring an escort alone.
When Xie Xiuwen arrived home, it was already midnight.
Douzi knocked on the door for a long time before Xie Laosan came over and opened it, rubbing his eyes.
"Second brother?"
Xie Xiuwen nodded to him: "I disturbed your sleep. Go back quickly, it's cold at night."
Xie Laosan glanced at the shoulder patted by his second brother, then stayed there for a while, then bolted the door and quickly returned to the house.
Liu Ruolan and Xie Rongzhao were asleep on the same bed. Xie Xiuwen came in quietly and looked at their mother and daughter's sleeping faces. All the fatigue in their bodies was swept away in a moment.
When his wife and daughter are well, he feels at ease.
Xie Xiuwen took off his coat, then carefully picked up the good baby and returned her to her own little bed. He covered her with a quilt and watched her turn over. She mumbled something in her mouth. She didn't know if it was a dream. .
Xie Xiuwen stayed with her for a while to make sure that she was asleep, and then quietly returned to the house.
Lying on the bed, hugging his beloved wife beside him, Xie Xiuwen was also very sleepy at this time, and fell asleep after a while.
Xie Xiuwen traveled all night and was indeed tired.
Liu Ruolan woke up in the morning and was shocked when she noticed a man lying next to her!
When he saw it was his father-in-law again, he breathed a sigh of relief.
In a flash, the couple had been separated for several months. When I saw my husband's face becoming thinner, I couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken.
"Are you awake?" A slightly hoarse voice sounded, and Liu Ruolan realized that she had been caught peeking.
"It's still early. Can you lie down with me for a while?"
Liu Ruolan's cheeks were slightly red: "It's getting late. It's time for me to get up. I have to go see my dear baby."
Xie Xiuwen then raised his hand and put it on his forehead, letting her go.
Xie Rongzhao is still sleeping. As a child, even if she feels that she is not a simple little baby, her true physical reaction cannot be deceived.
Xie Rongzhao was sleeping soundly, but she always felt that someone was deliberately scratching her face. She waved her little arms angrily: "Don't make trouble! Mom, I still want to sleep."
Xie Xiuwen's unique laughter sounded, and Xie Rongzhao suddenly became energetic. When he opened his eyes, it turned out to be the beautiful father he had missed for a long time.
"Abba!"
Xie Rongzhao jumped up immediately, and then rushed directly towards him.
Xie Xiuwen quickly hugged her and patted her on the back: "My dear, do you miss Dad?"
"That's what I thought! I like daddy the most."
"Does that mean Guobao doesn't like A Niang?"
Xie Rongzhao pouted: "That's not true! I like my father and mother the most."
Xie Xiuwen was amused by her little appearance and picked her up to wash up.
Xie Rongzhao also put some incense on her face, then swayed her legs, waiting for her beautiful father to help her put on her shoes.
After everything was tidied up, the father and daughter held hands and went to eat the morning meal.
Grandma Xie looked very bad.
Grandpa Xie was very happy and wanted to ask his son how his homework was going later.
The meal was quite peaceful, at least, no one said anything to offend the scenery.
After the meal, Xie Rongzhao was taken away by his mother to study Nuhong, while Xie Xiuwen was called by his father to the study to talk.
Xie Xiuwen didn't tell much about his time at the academy in front of his family, especially the fact that he accepted Xu Yuanqing as his teacher. He still kept it a secret from his family.
It's not that Xie Xiuwen is cautious, but that he has to be cautious.
The reason he failed the first two provincial examinations was not because he was not knowledgeable enough, but because he was physically ill both times.
No matter how big-hearted he is, he will still be suspicious.
Of course, Xie Xiuwen is not narcissistic enough to think that he can win the first prize in one fell swoop. As for his knowledge, he knows that he was in good health the first two times. It is possible to be on the list, but his ranking will definitely not be particularly good.
Now he has become a disciple of Chief Xu Shan. Under his guidance, he understands how shallow his previous knowledge was, and he also understands that his knowledge reserve is far from enough. If he wants to win the exam next year, he must have to do it. Put in a little more hard work.
After all, he is the direct disciple of Chief Xu Shan. If his ranking is too bad, he will lose the reputation of his mentor.
After Xie Xie asked some questions, he took the initiative to tell what happened a few days ago.
This kind of thing cannot be hidden.
Since you have to know sooner or later, it would be better to learn the facts from yourself first.
"Don't worry, Dad, since the matter is over, my son will not pursue it any further. But my son also knows who in the family is involved in this matter. After all, the Miss Song family is related to my son's classmate. A few days ago, , and he even came here specifically to apologize to his son."
Grandpa Xie was shocked. He never expected that there would be such a level.
But Mr. Xie did not dare to expose the matter. He was betting that his second son did not know the whole story, and he was also betting that he would not make the matter public for the sake of the family's reputation.
I have to say, ginger is still hotter than ever!
Xie Xiuwen really wanted to worry about his reputation and would not expose the matter.
But he won't do nothing either.
If you don't avenge yourself, you are not a gentleman!
