As soon as Gu opened his mouth, the little wife was indeed frightened.
In any case, even if she is an official's wife, she is just an ordinary wife. She doesn't even have a royal title. How can she be qualified to talk about Mrs. Xie?
"me……"
My daughter-in-law had been waiting for a long time, but she couldn't tell her why. However, Chen Jiaojiao came over after hearing the commotion. When she saw it was her, her face fell.
"What did my cousin do?"
Liu Ruolan looked over and didn't expect that she was really from the Chen family.
Although Chen Jiaojiao was questioning her daughter-in-law, she did not stop. Instead, she came to Liu Ruolan's side, saluted and asked, "Is mother okay? But she bumped into you? She is from the third room in the outer city and is Chen Wenxing's wife. "
After she explained it like this, Liu Ruolan understood.
Mrs. Chen San, who was still thinking of marrying her sweet baby home, is this little daughter-in-law’s mother-in-law?
Haha, we really are not a family, we don’t belong to the same family.
"It turns out it's really your Chen family. I thought she was just talking nonsense in the name of the Chen family. Since she is a relative of your Chen family, forget it. Let's go."
The latter sentence was addressed to Xu Ruyi. After all, the two of them were relatively high-status official wives, and it was hard to really argue with a little lady with no class.
As soon as they left, Chen Jiaojiao frowned: "Who can tell me what happened?"
In fact, Xie Rongzhao was not far away, but she wanted to get involved in this matter, and after all, she was her sister-in-law's natal family, so she didn't want to cause too much embarrassment.
When Xie Rongzhao saw that her mother had left, she didn't stay any longer. She might as well leave first while her sister-in-law didn't see her.
The servants in the mansion came over tremblingly and told the whole story, including the disrespectful words the young daughter-in-law had just said to Mrs. Xie, which made Chen Jiaojiao very angry.
Are they so openly humiliating their mother-in-law in the Chen family because they are afraid that her life in her husband's family will be too smooth?
"Come here, kick her out. If anyone holds her accountable, just blame it on me."
"yes."
Chen Wenxing's wife is still not convinced. She feels that she is also a member of the Chen family. Why should they treat her like this?
As a result, as soon as he opened his mouth, someone blocked it with a rag and dragged him out.
That's really not decent at all.
Mrs. Chen San was still talking to a few official ladies behind her. Of course, she mainly wanted to curry favor with her. After all, she was not capable of being a royal wife. She had to have a good relationship with these powerful people, otherwise, her children and grandchildren would suffer in the future. Who do we look to for our future?
As a result, a girl came over and whispered something in her ear, and Mrs. Chen San's expression changed.
She didn't dare to make a fuss.
After all, Chen Bo is different now. He has a higher official position and has in-laws like the Xie family. She really can't afford to offend him.
Fortunately, Mrs. Chen San has gained some brains now and did not cause any trouble in the house. When she came out, she found out that it was her daughter-in-law who had offended Mrs. Xie, and her face turned pale with fright.
"This person is seeking death! He dares to say anything to anyone. That is Xie Shangshu's wife, how dare she!"
In any case, the person has been offended, and Mrs. Chen San did not bother to beat and scold her daughter-in-law at this moment. She still found an excuse to call Mrs. Chen out and began to think of ways to remedy the situation.
"Is your daughter-in-law crazy? Not to mention her, even I am a head shorter in front of Mrs. Xie. Where does she have the courage to talk about Mrs. Xie behind her back?"
Mrs. Chen San looked embarrassed. She also wanted to know, did the eldest daughter-in-law take the wrong medicine today?
"Sister-in-law, the matter has come to this, you'd better help me find a solution. We also know that we did this wrong, but we have said everything and we can't take it back. Do you want my daughter-in-law to come to the door to admit her mistake? Let’s just prepare some gifts and come to apologize?”
Mrs. Chen was so angry that her hands began to shake.
Originally, when the Xie and Chen families got married, Mr. Xie's official position was higher than that of her master. Moreover, it was thanks to Mr. Xie that the master was able to be transferred back to the capital to serve.
Now that Mr. Xie has enjoyed an official career and has the false title of a second-rank official, his master is even more different from others.
At this time, there happens to be a third roommate who can hold him back!
It really pissed her off.
"Don't be anxious about this matter. I'll ask Mrs. Xie what she wants first. However, you have to go to Mrs. Xie's place with me to make amends later. Anyway, that's your daughter-in-law. She's stupid. You should take it for granted. My mother-in-law has to stand up and take the blame."
"Yes, I understand."
No matter how confused Mrs. Chen San is, she still knows that Mr. Xie is in a high and powerful position now. Among the five cabinet ministers, Mr. Xie is the youngest, not yet forty. If this goes smoothly in the future, he can be in power for at least twenty years.
Who dares to offend such a big shot?
That is, her careless daughter-in-law, who simply has no brains!
Although Liu Ruolan was angry, this was a banquet for the Chen family. They were kindly invited to be guests, so there was no reason to put on a show, so she did not embarrass Mrs. Chen San, but she still made some mockery to vent her anger.
For Mrs. Chen, this result is already very good.
To put it bluntly, people just look at the relationship between the two families. Otherwise, how could they handle it so lightly?
Of course, afterward, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen San each prepared a generous gift to send over, which was regarded as apology.
Liu Ruolan originally didn't want to accept the gift from Mrs. Chen San. After all, once she accepted the gift, it meant her forgiveness.
But I also thought that Chen Jiaojiao was still a girl from the Chen family, so I shouldn't go too far, lest it be difficult for me to be a daughter-in-law in the future, so I let someone take her away.
The storm passed like this.
None of the ladies mentioned this matter, but Xie Xiuwen still found out about it.
Xie Xiuwen used to protect his shortcomings when he was young. Now that he is older and stronger, his problem of protecting his shortcomings has not only not changed, but has become worse.
As a result, the third room of the Chen family was in trouble.
Chen Sanye's father and Chen Bo's father are biological brothers. However, Chen Bo's second uncle passed away, so now they are talking about the third bedroom. When they were first separated, they were called the second bedroom.
None of this mattered. Xie Xiuwen felt that the relationship between Master Chen and Chen Bo's family was actually distant, so he dealt with it without mercy.
Xie Xiuwen is now the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and a cabinet minister whom the emperor relies heavily on. He wants to deal with one or two minor officials, but he still needs to take action personally?
Within a few days, Chen Wenxing was demoted. After finally returning to Beijing, he was demoted again and was demoted this time.
Not only that, but some of Chen Sanye's family's properties were also affected.
Xie Xiuwen is good at cleaning up people in this way, leaving no clues, and he usually doesn't go too far when it comes to petty fights like this.
He just doesn't torture you to death and gives you a chance to breathe. You have to be grateful to him for his kindness, generosity and kindness!
Therefore, the word "black belly" is absolutely appropriate when applied to Xie Xiuwen.
