Chapter 398: Guarding against the Crown Prince (1)
Translator: 549690339
The three aunts of the Xia family were extremely gentle.
She was like a sister to the Xia family.
The Xia family had a good temper before she was married. He got along well with his three sisters-in-law.
Now that they were both parents, their hearts ached for her suffering in the Jiang family, so naturally, their hearts ached even more for her.
“We will have dinner in the middle Hall tonight. If he hasn’t woken up, I’ll have someone send the dinner to the small courtyard to be kept warm. There’s no need to come over to pay respects. This is your home, so you don’t have to be so formal.” Lady Wang was very kind. She put Lulu on the bed and kissed him secretly before leaving.
Xia Shi nodded, her eyebrows slightly worried. the Xia family and his Highness the Crown Prince …
His three aunts smiled and said, “it’s all men’s business. We women don’t have to worry.” Don’t be afraid, we have a man at home.”
After he finished speaking, he took his leave.
Mrs. Xia was sitting in the room, and the little girl was burning a purple clay teapot the size of a palm on the table with a small stove.
She had everything she needed, and she had kept everything she had.
Taozhi was Lulu’s personal maid, so she went out to ask around. That girl had always been smooth and eloquent, and she inadvertently became familiar with
people.
Not long after, taozhi returned.
Taozhi sighed the moment she entered.
“Furen, since the concubines are not willing to tell you, you do not need to ask. There must be a reason for them to hide it. ” The little maidservant’s expression was awkvvard, and she couldn’t bear it.
But seeing that Xia Shi’s expression was slightly serious, he said, “”l’m afraid it’s your business.”
“When the Jiang family was sentenced to execution, the three Masters and the old master of the Xia family knelt in front of the palace to plead for their lives, but His Highness avoided them.”
“The few Masters went to beg His Majesty in a hurry. His Majesty seemed to have reprimanded His Highness at the time, and the Jiang family was sentenced to exile.”
“However, the Xia family and your Highness are enemies. Although His Highness did not openly suppress them, he had secretly created a lot of friction with the Xia family. Last year, he even found an excuse to send the two young Masters of the Xia family to a remote area to be County magistrates, and they have yet to return to the capital.”
Taozhi originally wanted to say that the two young Masters who had been sent out and the young mistress of the residence had a lot of complaints about her. But in the end, he endured it and didn’t say it.
Xia Shi’s lips trembled as she held back her tears. “It’s my fault for not being sensible and making father and brother worry. You even implicated the family.” Only now did the Xia family realize how stupid they were. They had abandoned their loved ones for that man, and only their loved ones were running around for her when something happened.
“On the day of the Jiang family’s exile, the three old masters also hid in the crowd to send them off. Moreover, he was also caned by His Highness and came with a limp.” Taozhi said softly.
Xia Shi finally couldn’t help but cry out.
Lying on the bed, she cried and fell asleep.
This sleep was extremely deep, probably because …
After they returned, the Xia family had instructed the servants in the residence to be more light-handed and not to wake up the young lady who had returned for a long time.
At night, master Xia returned from the palace in a hurry.
“Where’s Yurong?”
The old lady had just finished her dinner and wiped the corner of her mouth. “Let them rest. After walking for two months, I’m afraid their bones will be scattered.”
“Get up early tomorrow and go to the eastern Palace to teach the rules a few times. She didn’t want him to find anything to use against her. You should also protect them.”
“We should think of something on yunze’s side. Yunze’s wife has written to us several times, crying and complaining that it’s not good there. She’s a pampered young lady who grew up in an aristocratic family in the border area. How could she stand it?” The old lady looked a little displeased, but she didn’t say anything.
Yunze was the eldest son of the first branch, and Yunyan was the second son.
Yun ze was the eldest grandson of the Xia family and would inherit the Xia family in the future. The wife he married was also of equal social status and was usually arrogant and spoiled. He became more arrogant after giving birth to a pair of sons.
Because of the matter of being released, he had scolded her behind her back countless times.
Old master Xia nodded in a deep voice. It was not until midnight that the lights in the Xia family house were turned off..
