Yunchu felt drowsy after drinking the medicine.
Liu Qianqian went out of the house.
Seeing her coming out, Yunze, who was waiting in the yard, immediately went to greet her: "Chu'er, are you thinking about it?"
"Husband, you are worrying too much." Liu Qianqian said, "I think Chu'er didn't take that matter to heart at all. Does the husband think that a woman is making a big mistake if she is too close to a man other than her husband? Can a man He has three wives and four concubines, and he can stay away from the main wife’s house for a year. Chu’er did it to save his life, so he had no choice but to marry Prince Xi… Even if something happens, I don’t think I’m sorry for his Xie family.”
Yunze was stunned.
His wife has always been gentle, virtuous, and knowledgeable. He never thought that he would hear his wife say such words.
etc!
He said, "Madam, you mean that Xie Jingyu hasn't entered Chu'er's house for a year?"
Liu Qianqian nodded coldly.
A while ago, my mother-in-law accompanied Chu'er to see a miracle doctor for a pulse diagnosis. After her mother-in-law returned home, she had been feeling depressed. When she asked, she found out that Chu'er and her husband had not had sex for at least a year.
Chu'er worked hard for the Xie family and raised so many concubines and concubines. As a husband, how could Xie Jingyu dare to humiliate his legal wife like this!
Yunze's face didn't look much better either.
It is natural for a man to take concubines. Of course, if he does not take concubines, it does not mean that he is not a man, but he just thinks it is unnecessary.
No matter how many concubines there are in the backyard, one should not ignore his wife. Otherwise, what is the difference between doting on concubines and killing his wife?
"Husband, if Chu'er is injured this time, let her stay at home for a while." Liu Qianqian said slowly, "Let Xie Jingyu know that without Chu'er and the Yun family, his Xie family is nothing. .”
Yunze nodded: "Just as Madam said."
While the couple was talking, someone from below came to report: "Sir, madam, my uncle is here."
The uncle of the Yun family is naturally Xie Jingyu.
Yunze originally wanted Xie Jingyu to get lost, but he thought of something and said, "Take someone to the study."
Xie Jingyu didn't come alone, he also brought Xie Shi'an with him.
Although the two families are related by marriage, the Xie family rarely comes to the Yun family, and they only come when there are banquets during the New Year and holidays.
The father and son sat and waited in the study for a long time. The servant didn't even serve them a cup of tea, so they just sat there dryly. About a quarter of an hour later, Yunze arrived.
"My brother-in-law has been kept waiting for a long time." Yunze had a smile on his face, and there was no trace of deliberate embarrassment. "Why is Shi'an here too? There are no classes in school today?"
Xie Shi'an stood up: "My mother was injured, and I was worried. I took leave to see my mother."
"You are a filial child." Yunze said, "Your mother just went to bed. It's better not to go in and disturb her rest. Brother Jiang has been very playful in studying recently. Shi'an, you were admitted as a scholar at a young age. Let's Brother Jiang can learn from you."
Xie Shi'an nodded, turned around and walked out of the study.
The smile on Yunze's face disappeared: "Whatever tea my brother-in-law likes to drink, I'll have it served."
Xie Jingyu's expression was extremely pale: "No need, I'll wait here for Madam to wake up and take her home."
In terms of official position, he was in the fifth rank and Yunze was in the seventh rank. Even if Yunze couldn't salute him, he should at least save his face.
But he couldn't see any respect on Yunze's face, which meant he didn't take him seriously at all.
"Whether Chu'er will go back to Xie's family or not, we'll talk about it later." Yunze said coldly, "Since my brother-in-law became Prince Anjing's future father-in-law, he seems to have a lot more social activities. I heard someone say that my brother-in-law has recently received I got a lot of good things, such as coral basins, jade Ruyi, and someone even seemed to have sent silver directly to my brother-in-law?"
Xie Jingyu's expression suddenly changed: "Where did brother hear this?"
"You are Chu'er's husband. Naturally, I will pay more attention to you. I have a casual chat with some adults from the Ministry of Household Affairs and I know a lot about you." Yunze shook his head, "If someone deliberately targets you, I will carefully check you out." Check it from the inside out and hand these things over to the Yushitai. Do you know what the consequences will be?"
Xie Jingyu clenched his fists.
Everyone in the imperial court was like this. They accepted gifts before doing things. It was an agreed upon rule, so why should it not apply to him.
"I can't control what other people do!" Yunze's voice became even colder, "If you affect the reputation of my Yun family, which has been a century-old family, the first thing my Yun family has to do is to let Chu'er reconcile with you! "
Xie Jingyu's face was gloomy, but he concealed his expression very well, and said with cupped hands: "Big brother taught me a lesson, I will never do it again."
"There is no future." Yunze shook his head, "Whenever I return the things I collected earlier, Chu'er will return to your Xie family at any time! Mr. Xie, don't give it away!"
After he finished speaking, he walked away.
Xie Jingyu picked up the tea cup on the table and was about to throw it to the ground. Then he realized that this was the Yun family and had to suppress his anger.
He walked out of the study and met Xie Shi'an. Xie Shi'an asked, "Why is my father's face so ugly? Did my uncle say something to my father?"
Xie Jingyu said in a deep voice: "Since the emperor decreed the marriage, many people have sent gifts to ask for help for my father. My father also refused, but it was very ugly. Later, I accepted some, but your uncle found out and said that I If it affects the reputation of the Yun family, let me return everything I collected."
"Uncle is right," Xie Shi'an said, "If father wants to go higher and further, he really needs to be more careful in this regard. If you should give it back, just give it back."
Xie Jingyu pursed his lips: "Those things have already been recorded on Sister Ping's dowry list..."
"Father, there is no need to worry about the dowry." Xie Shi'an thought for a while and said, "Let mother find a solution after she recovers from her injury."
The father and son talked and slowly walked to the main entrance of Yun Mansion. Just as they were about to get on the carriage, they saw another carriage stop.
Before the carriage stopped, a child jumped out of the carriage, dressed in brocade clothes, and skipped towards Yun Mansion.
Immediately afterwards, a man came down from the carriage, majestic and imposing.
After just one glance, Xie Jingyu immediately pulled Xie Shi'an to salute: "I have met Prince Pingxi and wish him well."
Chu Yi's eyes fell on Xie Jingyu, and he recognized him. He was the woman's husband, a fifth-grade household doctor.
The person next to her should be her eldest son.
He only glanced at it and walked into Yun Mansion.
Xie Jingyu raised his head and watched the guards at the door respectfully lead Chu Yi in. He felt extremely complicated.
His father-in-law has not yet returned to the capital. There is only one official in the Yun Mansion, Yun Ze, who is only at the seventh rank. He can be visited by the prince in person. No wonder Yun Ze dares to preach to him like that.
Just as Yunze had people send Xie Jingyu away, he heard from his servants that King Pingxi and the Young Master had arrived.
Without delay, he immediately went to the study and served the best tea and snacks.
Before he could speak, Chu Hongyu said anxiously: "Uncle Yun, um..."
His mouth was covered, and Chu Yi said coldly: "Call Master Yun."
Seeing that the little guy nodded, he let go of his hand. Chu Hongyu changed his words and said, "Master Yun, how is Aunt Yun's injury? Can I go see Aunt Yun?"
