There was an endless stream of guests at the entrance of Xie's Mansion. Yun Chu was too lazy to welcome any more guests, so he let Yuanshi take care of it, and then took the two children to the backyard.
The two little guys were very happy and kept calling for mother around Yun Chu.
At the same time, Xie Jingyu took Chu Yi to sit down in the banquet hall, and the servants served the best tea.
Chu Yi said casually: "I have long heard that Mrs. Xie passed away. Master Xie was overly sad and ill. From what I see, Master Xie seems to be doing well."
Xie Jingyu said respectfully: "It turned out that I was too sick to get out of bed. Zhuo Jing asked an old imperial doctor who had resigned to help me diagnose my pulse and prescribe medicine. After taking the medicine, I felt much better."
Chu Yi paused with his fingers.
Does she... care about this man so much that she went to ask the old imperial doctor for him?
He felt a little depressed and asked casually: "Who are you inviting?"
"It's Dr. Qin." Xie Jingyu replied, "Doctor Qin has excellent medical skills. I will probably be completely cured soon."
Hearing this, Chu Yi frowned.
He may not know exactly who the civil and military officials are, but because his two children were born weak, he knows exactly which doctors there are in the imperial hospital, what each doctor's name is, and what they are good at. Barefoot doctors are also very knowledgeable, let alone those old imperial doctors who have honorably retired...
I have never heard of an old imperial doctor named Qin.
He suppressed the question temporarily and said, "Today is the day for the eldest daughter of the Xie family. It seems that the Xie family is missing someone?"
Xie Jingyu's expression froze.
The youngest member of the Xie family is naturally Xie Shiwei, his unsatisfactory second son.
At this time of great joy, he didn't even want to mention the traitor.
"How can we be short of people at this great time?" Chu Yi said with a smile on his face, "I brought the Second Young Master Xie back specially for Mr. Xie."
"What?!"
Xie Jingyu's expression changed drastically and he stood up suddenly.
His action attracted the attention of several guests nearby, who thought something had happened.
"Why are Lord Xie so excited?" Chu Yi said calmly, "I know that the Xie family has been looking for the whereabouts of Xie Er. It happened that my people saw it, so I thought of giving Lord Xie a big gift."
When he asked the program to investigate the Xie family's affairs, he found out that the Xie family's Aunt He, who made Xie Jingyu ignore etiquette, died inexplicably.
Following Aunt He's lead, he discovered a shocking secret.
That Aunt He turned out to be the direct granddaughter of Mr. He, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance who was corrupt and perverted the law more than 20 years ago.
The eldest son, eldest daughter and second son of the Xie family are most likely descendants of the He family, but he has not found any evidence yet.
"Let's go, Mr. Xie. I will go with the king to take Xie Er back to his home."
Hearing Chu Yi's words, Xie Jingyu's figure shook.
After the old lady died, Xie Shiwei escaped secretly. At that time, countless people in the capital talked about the Xie family, and the Xie family seemed like mice crossing the street.
So many days have passed, and the Xie family's affairs have finally been forgotten... If Brother Wei returns home at this time, he will be arrested and brought to justice immediately, and the death of the old lady will be mentioned again... If Brother Wei The crime was proven, and the Xie family was nailed to the pillar of shame forever.
"By the way, there is one more thing." Chu Yi said in a deep voice, "More than 20 years ago, the Hubu corruption case caused a sensation in the capital. I must have heard about it, Mr. Xie, a doctor in the Hubu, right?"
Xie Jingyu was still in the middle of Xie Shiwei's incident. Before he could recover, he heard another thing that made his brain explode.
"I heard that descendants of the He family came to the capital recently." Chu Yi stared at Xie Jingyu, "Has Mr. Xie met the He family?"
Xie Jingyu felt dizzy and almost fell off the chair.
"No, no." He didn't catch his breath, and after a long pause he said, "I don't know what the prince means."
"Now that we have reached this point, Mr. Xie is still pretending to be stupid in front of me." Chu Yi smiled, "Aunt He, what is your surname? I wonder if what I said is right?"
Xie Jingyu only felt a sweet taste in his throat, and then he coughed violently. He covered his lips with his hand and felt a warmth in his palm. He took a look and saw that he coughed up a mouthful of black blood.
When I woke up in the morning, my body was already much better, but now I felt like I had no strength at all, and I wanted to faint.
But he knew not to faint.
"Your Majesty, your lord!"
He wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.
Now that King Pingxi has come to the door, it means that all the evidence is available and no matter what explanation he gives, it is in vain.
etc!
Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration.
King Pingxi took advantage of the Xie family's wedding to discuss this matter, instead of bringing people from the government to investigate, which shows that there is still room for change in this matter.
As if he saw hope, he immediately spoke: "If you have any orders from the prince, just speak up, I will be ruined!"
Chu Yi twirled his thumbs and paused for a long time before speaking: "Master Xie has been observing filial piety for a while. I think the old lady has felt Master Xie's filial piety. I have some things that I need Master Xie to do. Please prepare yourself." .”
Xie Jingyu was suddenly startled.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that filial piety comes first among all good deeds. After the death of parents, one should observe filial piety for three years, and after the death of ancestors, one should observe filial piety for one year. This is called "Ding You".
Officials are not allowed to go to court during the period of observing filial piety. Many capable people have delayed their futures because of this. He has been worried that after one year of observing filial piety, he will lose his position in the court.
Unexpectedly, King Pingxi asked him to go on errands now.
King Pingxi is the prince, so he asked him to end his filial piety and errands early, calling it "stealing love." Only officials with high authority and trust from the emperor can receive this treatment. How can he be so virtuous and capable...
However, King Pingxi took advantage of the Xie family and wanted him to work hard for it. He asked him to end his filial piety early, probably in order to cultivate his confidants.
Xie Jingyu, after all, was also the number one scholar back then. He was full of talents, but he was never reused.
Now that the imperial court has been vaguely divided into three factions, it doesn't matter if the princeling party is the most popular. If he follows King Pingxi, he will definitely help King Pingxi get that position.
"I am willing to serve the prince and follow him until death!"
Chu Yi nodded, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.
He would arrange a good job for Xie Jingyu. A good job in the household department was a job that dealt with money. He would handle at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a day.
He didn't believe that Xie Jingyu could withstand such a big temptation.
The people of the Yun family are upright from top to bottom. If they find out that their son-in-law has taken money from the imperial court, they will know more clearly that the two parties are not the same, and it will only make Yun Chu and Xie Jingyu reconcile faster...
Chu Yi was about to talk about Xie Shiwei.
The program hurried over and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, the Yun family has found Lihua Lane."
Lihua Lane is where Xie Shiwei is temporarily detained.
His people were extremely efficient in handling matters. The fact that the Yun family could find Lihua Lane so quickly only meant that the Yun family had been sending people to keep an eye on Xie Shiwei.
After Xie Shiwei escaped from the Xie family, he lived in a bridge cave and ate swill. Since the Yun family secretly watched but did not lend a helping hand, what does this mean?
It shows that the Yun family no longer regards the Xie family as in-laws.
Chu Yi smiled softly: "Let Xie Shiwei go."
He wanted to see what the Yun family was planning, and he wouldn't mind helping.
