"You are quite capable." After Xie Wanyu finished speaking, she asked again, "Can your mother tell you how to run a family? How to rule your subordinates, how to support your husband, how to make friends with aristocratic families, how to sit down, how to drink wine, how to eat? "
With such a series of questions, Xie Fengya could only move her lips, but couldn't say a word.
"It's not that I look down on concubine children, but if she is a concubine, what will she be exposed to, and there will be very few things she can teach her children." Xie Wanyu said, "If I am not wrong, your mother will probably only teach you. How to make a man happy, how to act coquettishly to get more money.”
Xie Fengya's face turned paler with every word she said.
She couldn't help but take two steps back. It was probably because of her years of reading and studying that she had a different perspective from other concubines. "Second sister is right. Now I finally understand."
"So, it's not that mother is partial, no matter how powerful our Xie family is, I'm still walking on thin ice in the Hou Mansion, and I can't find the murderer even though I'm poisoned!" Xie Wanyu said slowly.
She also looked at Xie Fengya's unwillingness to admit defeat, which looked very much like herself struggling in the Hou Mansion, so she said a few more words.
Xie Fengya's eyes were full of horror. She staggered forward a few steps, "Second sister has experienced this, why didn't she tell her father? He won't ignore you."
"How do you care?" Xie Wanyu sneered, "The purpose of marriage between aristocratic families is to stabilize their status. A single move can affect the whole body."
Xie Fengya didn't understand this, and her eyes were a little confused.
"The marriage your mother has found for you is not bad for you. At least you won't suffer when you get to your husband's house." After Xie Wanyu finished speaking, seeing that she was thinking, she turned and left.
After a while, Xie Fengya actually followed.
"Second sister, please teach me." She said very seriously.
Xie Wanyu looked at her puzzled, "Why should I teach you?"
Xie Fengya is also smart, and has already thought of a perfect strategy in such a short period of time, "Second sister, the eldest sister has passed away, and you are the only legitimate daughter, and she is already married. The court is in turmoil, and there is a rising star. It must be everywhere. I ask the eldest sister to teach Feng Ya so that Feng Ya can marry into a wealthy family in the future, making the foundation of the Xie family more solid." She said every word with absolute determination.
Xie Wanyu already had some appreciation for the younger sister in front of her, "I have three concubine sisters, plus four of you, why do I have to teach you?"
"Sister, the other three sisters were raised to be submissive, have no ambitions, and are not very smart. But I learn quickly and am ambitious. I never want to live an ordinary life. I want to live a vigorous life. Even if it’s like a flash in the pan, I won’t hesitate.”
Xie Wanyu saw a lot of ambition in her eyes.
But such a woman was difficult to control, but when she thought about what would happen to the Xie family in the future, Xie Wanyu hesitated. If this concubine could be supported, it would provide additional protection for the Xie family.
Xie Wanyu said, "As long as you can get father to agree, I will take you with me when I leave tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, second sister." Xie Fengya said excitedly.
Xie Wanyu left quickly, but the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously. It could be seen from the look in the eyes of this concubine looking at Xiao Jing that she admired strength, so I'm afraid even the Earl's Mansion could not feed her.
It would not be a bad thing to have a smart and ambitious person around to help, but it would take some effort to raise the beast to maturity.
When they arrived at Jin's residence, Xie Wanyu told Jin about Xie Fengya's affairs.
Jin was older after all, so he immediately felt that this matter was not possible.
"Daughter, have you ever thought about what if she wants your position as Madam Hou? She is young and beautiful, and knows how to coax men. You were raised upright, how can you fight against her crooked ways?"
Jin looked worried.
Xie Wanyu smiled, "If that's the case, it may not be a bad thing for me."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jin said helplessly.
"Don't worry, mother, I have my own plan." Xie Wanyu smiled mysteriously. Jin knew that her daughter had a good idea and just shook her head.
"If she can be obedient and give birth to a boy and a half girl, you will have someone to rely on in the future." After Jin finished speaking, he stopped mentioning this, "By the way, Brother Xuan just came here after finishing his studies. Your father has gone there, do you want to go and have a look?"
"I'm not going." Xie Wanyu knew what kind of person Xiao Mingxuan was, so she had long since lost her past intentions towards him.
"You couldn't think of anything without seeing her the day before. What's wrong now?" Jin asked.
Xie Wanyu smiled and said, "The child is getting older."
At night, Xie Wanyu took Jin to sleep with her, feeling that her mother's doting made her feel happy and relaxed. She was too tired after planning for so long, and only home was the place where she felt most relaxed and comfortable.
After breakfast on the second day, it was time to separate.
Jin's eyes are a little red. The older she gets, the more she misses her children.
"Mother, we all live in Kyoto. If you miss me, you can go to the Marquis Mansion, and I can come back at any time." Xie Wanyu comforted her.
It's not that she doesn't come back often, but because she has too much to do.
She always wanted to settle everything before returning to her parents' home.
"You're right, I'm just old and my eye sockets are shallow." Jin said helplessly.
Xie Gan patted Jin on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you should leave quickly."
"Mom and Dad, let's go. Brother and sister-in-law, please take care of yourselves." After Xie Wanyu finished speaking, she got on the carriage. After a while, Xie Fengya also came up.
She was holding a bundle, which probably contained all her belongings.
Xie Wanyu couldn't help but ask, "How did you get your father to agree?"
"I said I would help the second sister run the family and clean up all those who were enemies of the second sister. I said I could do anything." Xie Fengya smiled, "I know my father doesn't love me, but The second sister is my father's favorite, and for you, my father will definitely agree."
Xie Wanyu now admires this concubine.
Xiao Jing was the last to get on the bus and was stunned for a moment when she saw Xie Fengya.
"You also know that this is my third sister. She just returned to Kyoto and came to visit our house." Xie Wanyu said.
"Of course that's good." After Xiao Jing said that, she leaned her head on the carriage and closed her eyes to fall asleep.
Of course, he might not be able to fall asleep. He didn't come home all night, so he didn't know how angry Xue Xuening would be.
Xie Fengya didn't expect Xiao Jing to be so cold to her, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
After arriving at the Hou Mansion, Xie Fengya was completely surprised.
Although the Xie family is large, it is much more low-key compared to the Hou family.
Xie Fengya looked at the pavilions and pavilions and couldn't help but sigh, "This prince's mansion is bigger than Zhuangzi."
"There are many rules here. You must always pay attention and don't let others find mistakes. I won't be able to help you then." Xie Wanyu warned.
"Yes, second sister, don't worry." She just wanted to stay here and she would never make a mistake.
