Mrs. Xie looked at her sister-in-law dumbfounded. She felt that the person in front of her was a little strange.

Mrs. Lin said confidently: "Previously, your brother and I always thought that even if Xie Xingchuan was disobedient, he would at least be his brother-in-law's child. Now since the Gu family insists on saying that he was lost in their family, whether it is true or not, let's first tell this story Let’s face it, sister, only blood relatives are reliable in this world. No matter what happens, Tao’er is still your biological nephew.”

"Sister-in-law, there is no need to say any more, my husband will not agree to this." Mrs. Xie said.

Mrs. Lin thought to herself that there were frequent wars in the border towns. Who knew when General Xie would have an accident on the battlefield? By then, wouldn't Mrs. Xie have the final say in everything in General Xie's house?

She did not directly say such words to curse other people's husbands, but just said: "Sister, are you really relieved to let Xie Xingchuan inherit the family business? When the property comes into his hands, according to his current temperament, I'm afraid it will all be given to the Gu family , I will regret it by then!”

Mrs. Xie couldn't help but frown when she thought of this possibility.

Mrs. Lin continued to strike while the iron was hot: "Sister, they are all children who are not related by blood to my brother-in-law anyway. Why can Xie Xingchuan do it, but not someone who is related to you? My brother-in-law should think more about you!"

Mrs. Xie was now completely led by Mrs. Lin. The more she thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed to her. Instead of thinking about Xie Xingchuan's martial arts talent, she was filled with thoughts of blood relations.

"Now we are taking advantage of the fact that the mountains are high and the roads are far away. My brother-in-law didn't respond in time. When he comes back, I'm afraid he won't agree. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Sister, you must not miss it!" Mrs. Lin grabbed Mrs. Xie's hand. So said.

The expression on Mrs. Xie's face kept changing, and she finally nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Mrs. Lin and Mr. Lin were immediately happy.

"Sister, to strike while the iron is hot, why don't we go to the Gu family today and talk to them about this matter?" Mrs. Lin suggested.

But Mrs. Xie shook her head: "There is no hurry. If the Gu family knows etiquette, they will definitely come to Xie's house to pay New Year greetings. When the time comes, we will bring this matter up, and they will definitely not object."

Although Mrs. Lin felt sorry for her son who was now suffering in prison, she also knew that today's persuasion had reached its limit. If she continued, she was afraid that Mrs. Xie would develop a rebellious mentality.

Although the Gu family is still missing someone this year, they are satisfied now that they know where their son is.

After finishing the New Year's Eve dinner, Niu Niu tugged on her father's sleeve and said, "Dad, we made an appointment with our second brother to set off fireworks for him."

Although they couldn't celebrate the New Year together, they agreed to set off fireworks together after the New Year's Eve dinner, which was considered a family reunion.

Gu Mingda carried a lot of fireworks and took several children to the agreed place, but he did not find his second son immediately.

"Second brother may have been delayed by something. Let's wait here for a while." Gu Yan said.

Niu Niu opened the small schoolbag she carried with her. It was not filled with books, but filled with snacks.

"Sister Shuying made them for me, saying they were New Year gifts." Niuniu shared her snacks with everyone.

Gu Zhao's eyes lit up, but then he couldn't help complaining: "Sister Shuying is too partial to you. I have never seen so many snacks."

Zhang Yuniang stretched out her hand and patted her youngest son's head gently, and said: "That girl doesn't prefer your sister. She only has your sister in her heart. She doesn't care about others. If it weren't for your sister, you wouldn't even be able to taste it. Woolen cloth!"

Although Gu Zhao complained casually, Zhang Yuniang did not want the relationship between brother and sister to become estranged because of favoring one over the other. She had to nip the signs at any time.

Gu Zhao tilted his head and thought for a while, and it seemed that this was true. Although he was a little sad that he was not liked by others, his greed finally got the upper hand. He came to Niu Niu's side and whispered: "Good sister, next time No matter how delicious it is, don’t forget your brother!”

Niu Niu generously handed her schoolbag pocket to Gu Zhao: "Eat whatever you want, and share all my good things with my brother!"

Gu Zhao immediately beamed with joy: "I knew I had the best sister in the world!"

Not long after, a slender figure ran over.

Before the other party came close and before she could see his face clearly, Niu Niu said happily: "It must be the second brother!"

The black shadow arrived in front of the Gu family in just a few ups and downs.

Xie Xingchuan raised his hand and picked up Niu Niu. They didn't see each other for most of the day, but he always felt as if they had been separated for a long time.

The days in the Xie family were like years for him.

This New Year's Eve dinner, like the Xie family's past many years, was not a pleasant meal.

The Lin family was worried about their son, so they simply spent the New Year at Xie's house. These two people were obviously foreigners, but they were very picky. They acted like masters, and directed the Xie family's servants around.

Xie Xingchuan didn't take a few bites at the dinner table, and no one cared whether he was full or not. He said he wanted to go out, and Mrs. Xie did not stop him uncharacteristically. The Lin family even gave him a farewell attitude.

Xie Xingchuan left Xie's Mansion smoothly. It wasn't until he saw the Gu family who had been waiting that he finally felt relieved.

"Mrs. Xie, are you in trouble?" Zhang Yunniang asked softly.

Xie Xingchuan shook his head.

Zhang Yuniang and Gu Mingda looked at each other. They both thought this was a bit strange. This didn't seem to be Mrs. Xie's style of conduct.

Gu Mingda was keenly aware that something seemed a bit strange and asked, "Did something happen to the Xie family?"

Xie Xingchuan hesitated, not knowing whether he should tell them about it.

Gu Mingda asked again, "Xingchuan, where did you know that Changfeng was injured?"

Seeing that his father was gradually approaching the truth, Xie Xingchuan couldn't continue to hide it, and said, "Mrs. Xie's nephew from her mother's family injured Shen Changfeng, and a guard died because of it. The princess was very angry and wanted him to pay for his life. Mrs. Xie's brother and sister-in-law from her mother's family are now in the Xie Mansion. They asked me to ask you to come forward and ask for mercy at the Princess's Mansion."

Gu Mingda had limited sources of information in the capital, and he didn't expect that there was such a hidden secret.

Zhang Yunniang's first reaction was to grab her son and asked, "Did they force you?"

Xie Xingchuan nodded.

Zhang Yunniang's eyes were suddenly filled with heartache, but she would not force her husband's affairs, so she could only say: "If it were something else, your father would definitely agree to it, but the eldest princess's eyes have always been hard to tolerate, so this matter is still not easy to resolve."

Xie Xingchuan didn't think much about it, after all, he also felt that Lin Tao deserved to die.

But unexpectedly, Gu Mingda said: "Xingchuan, if you want to save this person, your father can also go to the eldest princess's mansion to plead for you."
