Southland
News continued to come from Liaodong County. Xie Zhan and the core members of the family already knew that all members of the Qin family had arrived at the exile safely, and no one was injured on the way.
Xie Zhan asked people to continuously collect news about the Qin family on the road to exile. All these news confirmed his guess that the Qin family could achieve such a good result because everything depended on Lu Songli's plan.
After learning this conclusion, the core members of the Xie family felt particularly uncomfortable when they thought about the people they had lost along the way. Although there is a reason why the clan members are too large to be taken care of. But in comparison, the Qin family's zero attrition result is amazing.
They couldn't help but think that if there hadn't been that drowning accident, Lu Songli would have been their mistress!
Xie Zhan frowned. He told the news not because he wanted them to regret it, but so that they could face Lu Songli's power.
But they are always troubled by these useless emotions.
Xie Zhan didn't understand, what's the use of regret? It doesn't help at all. They should take the initiative to review the whole thing and learn from it, so that they don't end up in such a big fight in vain.
Xie Zhan sighed deeply, forget it, they are all ordinary people, and they have a normal focus on gains and losses.
Then he picked up the information and reviewed the entire event in his mind, from which he could see traces of her layout. Lu Songli takes one step and sees three steps, calculates people's hearts, etc. There are many things worth studying and learning from him.
Xie Zhan spoke up, "Judging from the recent events in Liaodong County, Lu Songli is working hard to completely control Liaodong County."
Xie Yuan, Xie Qian and other core members of the family looked at each other in confusion. Xie Yuan even asked in a hoarse voice, "Chief, are you right? Lu Desheng is the governor of Liaodong County."
Xie Zhan: "Although Lu Desheng is the governor of Liaodong County, he is just the parent officer of Liaodong County. The actual person in charge of Liaodong County is Lu Songli, and even the Qin family is only her military support."
"Looking at the recent news from there, Liaodong County is suppressing bandits and building roads. It can be seen that she is now working hard to completely control Liaodong County."
Hearing these analysis of the clan leader, not only Xie Bai and Xie Nan of the younger generation were speechless, but also Xie Yuan and Xie Qian of the older generation of clan elders also looked at each other.
They didn't understand where Lu Songli, a woman, could be so enterprising and aggressive, and most importantly, where could she have such great ambition?
Xie Nan said hesitantly, "Actually, Lu Songli's behavior may not be suitable for our Xie family."
Xie Nan's words are also to persuade others that no matter how good a mistress is, she already belongs to someone else's family. Moreover, Lu Songli is so ambitious and has the appearance of a hen Si Chen. Who knows if she will seize power after marrying in?
"Okay, let's talk about the things I asked you to do recently. How is the progress?" Xie Zhan's words brought their minds back.
Compared with their useless emotions because of Lu Songli, Xie Zhan hoped that they could focus on themselves and work together to fight for the survival of the family.
Xie Zhan knew very well that strictly speaking, the Xie clan was already two steps behind. The Xie family is still attached to the Chen family and has not yet occupied a place in the Southland and has its own territory. As for Lu Songli, he has obtained territory and has begun to clean up the remaining forces in Liaodong County and deeply cultivate Liaodong County.
And he had been preparing for so long, and it was now time to start.
After the meeting ended, the core members of the Xie family went back to their respective homes.
Although the clan leader told them not to make public the fact that the Qin family had been exiled but had not lost its members, some of them couldn't help it and didn't want to endure it. After all, they blamed Zhao Yutan, the wife of the current clan leader, for this matter.
I couldn't help but go back and tell the person next to me, and then the matter became a secret known to the entire clan. Especially those whose family members had died on the way to exile, they had no good impression of Zhao Yutan, and even felt hatred in their hearts.
Zhao Yutan, who was more than three months pregnant, returned to the Xie clan, accompanied by her mother.
Because the Xie clan members learned that the Qin family was exiled but no one died, they were very cold towards her and didn't even say hello when they met.
Luo Che was a little confused.
"You can't do this. After all, she is also the patriarch's wife now, so she has to deal with everything when we meet."
"Bah, she still has the nerve to come back? If it weren't for her, how could my father and my little boy and girl die?! She still wants me to greet her, in her dreams!"
The ladies of the Xie family did not shy away from talking about her.
Zhao Yutan and Luo Shi soon learned the reason.
Luo Shi: "This - this - how can it be all your fault? It's so unreasonable!"
Zhao Yutan's face was expressionless. They were not satisfied with her, so how could she be satisfied with her current life? In her precognitive dream, although she was exiled with the Qin family, she was always protected by the Qin family on the way to exile. Even in the exile, she was still the one in the Qin family who endured the least hardship except for the children. How could it be like now, when her husband became someone else's husband, she lived with her mother while pregnant, and her husband rarely visited her.
Luo Shi helped Zhao Yutan back to the original residence where she and Xie Zhan lived. It happened that Chen Baozhu was going back to her parents' home, and Xie Zhan accompanied her.
As soon as the two were about to go out, they ran into Zhao's mother and daughter.
Chen Baozhu looked at Xie Zhan, "You promised to accompany me back to my parents' home."
Xie Zhan nodded slightly, "Okay, you can wait for me outside for a while, okay?"
Chen Bao glanced at the three of them and agreed. She walked past Xie Zhan and went outside.
Zhao Yutan felt a pain in her heart. The scene in front of her was so similar to the care given to her in her dream.
She is now extremely certain that Xie Zhan is heartless and cold-hearted. In his eyes and heart, he only cares about his career and the development of his family.
In the precognitive dream, he could be kind to himself, and now he can also be kind to other women.
"Mother-in-law——" After Xie Zhan greeted Luo Shi, he looked at Zhao Yutan, "Atan, you are back."
"Um."
"Are you having any difficulties? Or do you need my help?" Xie Zhan asked with concern.
Zhao Yutan bit her lip. To be honest, she quite hated his current concern. She would rather he be indifferent, so that she could easily give up, instead of getting stuck in it and unable to extricate herself.
Luo Shi glanced at his daughter and answered for her, "That's it..." She told them their difficulties.
Xie Zhan nodded, "I understand, I'll let people take care of it. If there's nothing else, I'll get busy first. Mother-in-law, A'tan, you can go in and rest, and then go back after you're well rested."
Luo Shi nodded hurriedly, "Okay, you go ahead and do your work first."
Chen Baozhu was waiting outside, but her eyes couldn't help but look back.
To be honest, I was not satisfied with this marriage at first.
When her father found out, he scolded her. In her father's words, if Xie Zhan hadn't been in trouble, she wouldn't be worthy of him.
Now that she has been married for almost three months, Xie Zhan is not always submissive to her, and even acts as if she is aloof from her.
Chen Baozhu did this, and she found that he was particularly charming when he was working. His occasional concern made her very moved, and she felt that she had fallen in love with Xie Zhan.
The only thing she is dissatisfied about now is Xie Zhan's care for Zhao Yutan. He himself was very busy and had no time to see her. But he would have people send Zhao Yutan a lot of food every month. She also gets a share of the good things, and the other party gets a share.
She felt uncomfortable and told her mother, but her family was very satisfied with his performance. They felt relieved because he was like this. They would only be worried if Xie Zhan was cold and harsh towards his ex-wife.
At the same time, her family also advised her not to make trouble, saying that Zhao lived in her natal family and was not an eyesore to her.
Chen Jiazhu thought about it and could only reluctantly agree.
Not long after she had been thinking wildly, Xie Zhan came out and said, "Let's go."
