Chapter 173 Attitude
Xie Lang and his wife walked away leisurely.
Lord Xie exploded.
When Aunt Zhang went to invite him, she only said, "The old lady is not feeling well, and the prince asked me to ask the marquis to come over to see her."
Marquis Xie's reaction was exactly the same as his son and daughter-in-law's. He was suddenly startled. Could it be that the incident of the New Year's Eve palace banquet was not over yet and some new trouble had arisen?
"What happened? Tell me the truth."
This person was arranged by his mother when she was alive, and he knew it very well. However, his mother did not arrange this person to be a spy. She did not have the hobby of asking for trouble, and she did not interfere with their emotional life.
The purpose of placing such a person is to be able to restrain and advise his wife in time when problems arise.
He saw it clearly, so he didn't say a word to his mother about this arrangement.
Nanny Zhang lowered her head and replied, "The old lady said this morning that she missed the young master, so she sent me to the Mu Mansion to pick him up. Old Madam Mu said that she wanted to ask whether this was the Marquis's intention or whether the old lady acted on her own."
After saying this, Nanny Zhang lowered her head and stopped talking.
When the old lady ordered her to do so, she did try to persuade her, but she failed. But in fact, she had another choice at that time, which was to tell the Marquis directly and let him persuade her, but she did not do so, and instead helped the old lady to stir up this mess.
She also wanted the Marquis to learn a lesson. If he didn't take good care of her, who knows what the old lady would do in the future! As she got older and didn't have her mother-in-law to pressure her, she became more and more confused.
Although today's incident was not something that could be brought to light, it was not a big deal after all. She could just talk it over with her son-in-law. But what if she offended someone else in the future? Why would they tolerate her? Even if she couldn't directly break up with him for the sake of Lord Xie, she could never guard against his tricks behind her back. Lord Xie and the prince were busy cleaning up her mess. How could the Dingyuan Marquisate continue to flourish? It would be over sooner or later!
When the lady was alive, she always said that a person's energy is limited. If you spend too much energy on these troublesome things, you will have no energy to do big things. The Marquis was dragged down by his wife throughout his life.
But if she said something extremely treasonous, the Marquis deserved it.
After so many years, if he really wanted to manage it, how could he not manage it? To put it bluntly, he just didn't make up his mind!
After hearing what Nanny Zhang said, Lord Xie was a little confused. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Didn't you stop her?"
The people left behind by my mother shouldn't be so lacking in judgment.
"I did persuade her, but the old lady is the master and I am the servant. If she orders me to go, how can I not go?"
Blame me? Tsk!
Stop it? How could she stop it? She could only persuade him, and if he didn't listen, she could only do as he said!
Lord Xie was extremely tired and asked, "Where is the prince?"
"The prince has accompanied his wife back to the Grand Tutor's Mansion."
"He's been to the upper room? Did he ask you to come?"
"Yes."
"…He knows about this?"
"The old lady didn't say."
Lord Xie: "..."
Still knows how to save face.
He returned to the upper room and saw his old wife lying on the couch. When she saw him come in, she glanced at him secretly, then closed her eyes, patted her chest and said softly, "Ouch."
Lord Xie sat down beside him and said nothing.
The air is very quiet.
Madam Xie couldn't hold it in for a while, so she took the initiative to sit up and said, "I was just a little angry, so I wanted to cause them some trouble and make them feel uncomfortable. I didn't think about anything else."
Lord Xie was so angry that he laughed.
"What else do you want? It would be fine if you really had the scheming and the means, but you don't! Look at what you've done, other than annoying people, what else is there to do. Oh, it's useful, it makes me mad."
Madam Xie looked embarrassed. She would never admit that her methods were so low-end.
Lord Xie said, "Why are you competing with these two juniors? Did Mu Sheng do anything wrong? No! The Yun family didn't do anything wrong either, right? Your little tricks can't hurt them, they will only wear down the relationship between the two families. You went to their house today to cause trouble, but what's the result? They won't take it to heart, only you will feel upset."
Mrs. Xie: "I know I was wrong."
"But you refuse to change. From your youth till now, when have you not known that you were wrong? Have you changed? You are a grandmother now."
The air became quiet again.
Lord Xie was silent for a while, then said, "Okay, don't worry about the affairs of the mansion from now on. Let Cui take care of everything. You have to accept your age, and it's time for us to enjoy our old age. I have already given up my duties at court and have been idle at home. Let's not stay in the mansion anymore, let's live in the other courtyard for a while."
As he spoke, he patted Madam Xie's hand and directly ordered, "Come here, pack up your things."
Leave at noon.
This is his attitude towards Mu Sheng.
From now on, the Marquis' Mansion will be handed over to Xie Lang, and the rest will be Mu Sheng and Xie Lang's business. Whether they can help each other and go further depends on their abilities.
He didn't interfere, nor did he let his wife interfere.
Madam Xie started to cry, "I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time, I won't do it again!"
She didn't want to give up the rights of the Marquis's wife and didn't want to go to the other courtyard. Wasn't it just a small matter? Why couldn't she be forgiven!
Lord Xie said, "Don't worry, I'm with you."
This was the end of his life. The mansion did not prosper under his leadership, but it also did not decline under his leadership. Now, he placed his hopes on his son.
Madam Xie couldn't stop crying. What's the point of you accompanying her? When they leave the Marquis' Mansion, they are just two rich old men and women. They can't even put on the prestige of a Marquis and his wife. Who are you putting on a show for in the other courtyard?
However, this time, Marquis Xie was determined to teach her a lesson. No matter how she cried and made a fuss, he refused to compromise. After lunch, without waiting for Xie Lang to come back, the couple left the Marquis' Mansion and went to a villa in the suburbs.
Mu Mansion.
Mu Sheng took the initiative to tell Yun Xi that he would go to Xie’s house to pay New Year’s greetings on the third day of the Lunar New Year.
Yun Xi nodded to show that she understood.
The relationship between the Mu family and Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion had nothing to do with her. She didn't participate and didn't mind. As long as Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion didn't dance in front of her, she could pretend she didn't know.
Just like what Old Madam Xie did, she and Kaiyuan treated it as a joke. They felt a little regretful that Marquis Xie took Old Madam Xie away from the mansion and ruled the country alone, as it missed a lot of drama.
Mu Sheng did not tell Yun Xi about what happened this morning. He could just handle it here, and Yun Xi didn't need to worry about it. He would go to the Marquis' Mansion tomorrow and would definitely talk to the Marquis and Xie Lang.
It would be boring to keep doing this, wouldn't it?
