After successfully making Lin's face green with anger, Xihe was satisfied and waved his hand to the maid to take Meng Huaiyu out to play. Then he explained the purpose of his visit: "Mom, where is my father? I have something to do with him."
Mrs. Lin was annoyed: "What father and mother? Am I not your aunt!"
Call me aunt when you have nothing to do, and call me mother when something happens. Could this damn girl be just angry with her? Debt collector.
Xihe didn't care about her weirdness at all. He stood up and walked to the study: "Then I'll go to the study and have a look." In fact, as a mother, Lin was quite concerned about the original owner, but not as much as the two she raised beside her. .
The original owner was angry and resentful about this, so he liked to confront her, and would always make things happen even if there was no problem, just to make her popular.
So, in order to fit in with the character, she got angry.
(Ahem, of course she didn’t deliberately use the topic because she was in a constant mood)
All the way around the rockery and streams, the maids and servants along the way bowed to her one after another. Xihe held his jaw reserved, and finally entered a heavily guarded courtyard.
"Second Miss, please."
Xihe raised his steps and walked into the door.
The Qiang Prime Minister was about fifty years old, with a long beard and a thin figure. At first glance, he looked like a loyal minister for the country and the people... He raised his eyes, his eyes were sharp, and his eyes were full of ambition.
"Did Meng Yuchuan ask you for those four guards?"
A heavy gaze swept over.
Xihe was not afraid at all and sat down on the chair leisurely: "Is there any difference? But I say dad, how can you be so partial? The eldest sister is your daughter, but I am not? The prince is your son-in-law, and my husband-in-law is also your son-in-law. Oh! Huh, you just think about eldest sister!"
"If this is the case, don't let my husband-in-law help you in the future! Find the prince and the third sister's husband!"
"you!"
Prime Minister Qiang was furious and pointed at her: "Do you know who is your backer?"
Xihe rolled his eyes inelegantly: "Of course it's my husband-in-law! Don't they say that when you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken, when you marry a dog, you follow the dog? It's my husband-in-law who earns me the phoenix crown and habes! Of course I have to go to him."
Prime Minister Qiang blew his beard and glared: "You idiot, without the Qiang family, can Meng Yuchuan marry you?"
Xihe shrugged: "Then let's give it a try. When the Prime Minister's Mansion collapses, we will see if Meng Yuchuan will divorce me."
Snapped!
Prime Minister Qiang slapped the table, his eyes dark and scary.
"Rebellious girl, try talking nonsense again."
Xihe curled his lips and murmured in a low voice: "I'll keep it this way again." Before Prime Minister Qiang could get angry, he quickly changed the subject, "Dad, my husband will be at the border soon. When will the food leave for you?"
Generally speaking, in a war, "food and grass go first", but this time something unexpected happened, Meng Yuchuan had no choice but to go first, and the food came later.
Prime Minister Qiang also finished losing his temper and took the tea from the servant: "This matter is the responsibility of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Prime Minister is not involved."
Xihe didn't believe his lies and simply made it clear: "This time Northern Liao went south with great momentum, four or five months earlier than in previous years. Either they have a big plot, or something big happened there." Seeing Prime Minister Qiang thoughtful, He curled his lips,
"You should keep an eye on the people in the court. If someone is causing trouble, deliberately tampering with the food and grass, or slandering Your Majesty while my husband-in-law is away, causing my husband-in-law to get into trouble..."
"Anyway, you don't love me, and you won't worry about me if I die. But if the prince's great cause is ruined because of this, then you will be waiting for the whole family to be executed. Oops!"
Xihe jumped away quickly, and a cup of tea exploded at her feet.
She was so angry that she shouted: "What are you doing!"
I shook the hem of my skirt and breathed a sigh of relief when I found that it was not stained.
Prime Minister Qiang's face was so dark that he pointed at the door: "Get out!"
Xihe puffed up his face and said: "Get out!" When he walked to the door, he thought of something, and rushed to Prime Minister Qiang, picked up the inkstone on his desk, turned around and left, so fast that it was gone in the blink of an eye.
Only the words "Thank you dad for the meeting gift given to Huai Yu" came from a distance.
Prime Minister Qiang:? ? ?
In the blink of an eye, the inkstone he had been reluctant to use was gone?
He was so angry that he slapped his hands on the table: "Rebellious girl! Rebellious girl!"
The housekeeper wanted to hide his head on the ground. Oh, the second young lady is so bold!
Xihe was not in a hurry to go back, but planned to have dinner at the Prime Minister's Mansion before taking the little guy back. During the meal, not only Qiang Baowen, but also the two brothers of the original owner came back.
Needless to say, Qiang Baowen subconsciously started to talk meanly when he saw Xihe. Xihe was not polite and directly blocked him.
The two boys from the Qiang family were much better and polite. Even when Meng Huaiyu used to play with them as a 'little uncle', they also accompanied them very patiently without any impatience.
After the food was served, Prime Minister Qiang walked in with his hands behind his back.
The whole family stood up and saluted: "I've met my father!"
Mixed with it was a child's crisp voice: "Huaiyu has met his grandfather!"
Prime Minister Qiang glanced at Xihe, nodded to the little guy, and then sat on the main seat: "Let's have dinner."
The generals in the Prime Minister's Mansion ate and slept silently, so the table was quiet for a while. Meng Huaiyu was affected by the atmosphere and subconsciously relaxed his hands and feet. Seeing this, Prime Minister Qiang praised him: "You are quite well-behaved."
Xihe bared his teeth instantly: "That's my son!"
A room full of people: "..."
After dinner, Prime Minister Qiang went to the study, while others saw Xihe out of the house.
Mrs. Lin was worried after all: "Since you married into the Hou family and became his mother, I see that Huaiyu is also close to you. It will be easier for you to have a happy life in the future. Isn't it a good thing to have a harmonious family? Not to mention that both your father and brother are here. , who dares to bully you?"
Xihe glanced at the two brothers who looked unnatural: "Mom, do you really think so?"
Mrs. Lin frowned: "What are you talking about? Even if they are adopted, you are still brothers and sisters!"
Xihe nodded, then suddenly smiled and stretched out his hand: "Mom, that daughter has no money. Please give me a few thousand taels of flowers."
Lin: "..."
Of course, the money didn't come.
After getting into the carriage, Xihe kept sighing.
Meng Huaiyu crawled to her side, dug around in his arms, and took out a few gold nuggets: "Mom, Chen'er gives you money!"
When Xihe saw the young lady opening her big black and white eyes and speaking in a milky voice, she fell in love with her so much that she picked up the little one and said, "Oh, you are such a sweet baby!"
The little guy's face turned red from being kissed, but he smiled happily.
Qiang Cheng was more active than anyone else in the prince's great cause, so within a few days Xihe heard the news of the food shipment, accompanied by the Royal Forest Army escort, headed by Master Lin, who was also known as the 'Iron Face'. The purpose is to ensure that the food is safe this time.
Xihe pursed his lips and smiled, and continued to buy things for the little guy.
After returning home that day, the Prime Minister's Mansion sent her three thousand taels of silver notes the next day, which made Ms. Lu, who happened to be present at the time, blush. She thought that the Hou Mansion had treated her badly, so she hurriedly took it from the private treasury. Give her a few thousand taels and let her spend it as she pleases.
For a time, her private coffers were bulging.
