After losing her husband, she turned the little villain of the Hou family into a big boss

"I'll have someone check the Chen family right now." Xiao Huai told Tang Shuyi.

Punishing the Chen family must be justified. Of course, this is after knowing that problems with the Chen family will inevitably be found. If no problems are found, other methods will be used to punish them.Xiao Huai never thinks that he is a good person.

Tang Shuyi nodded, "Okay."

While the two were discussing, Butler Zhao came over and said that a father-in-law from the palace came to deliver a message.Tang Shuyi and Xiao Huai went to the front hall and saw Ye Deben there.

Seeing them, Ye Deben quickly stood up and saluted, and then said with a smile: "The emperor asked his servant to send a message to the Duke and his wife, saying that he has started to investigate the Chen family."

Tang Shuyi and Xiao Huai looked at each other and knew that Li Jingyi was telling them that he would handle the Chen family and they didn't need to worry about it anymore.In this case, they don't worry about it anymore.So Xiao Huai said: "Tell the emperor, I know."

"Yes."

Ye Deben responded, and Xiao Huai asked Butler Zhao to send him away, and then said to Tang Shuyi: "It will be good when the child grows up. It will save us a lot of worry."

Tang Shuyi nodded in agreement. At present, it seems that Li Jingyi is indeed very good.In terms of temperament, he is calm and reserved, ambitious but not competitive, and is suitable for being a monarch in peacetime.In terms of character, he is kind-hearted and grateful. Such a person cannot do anything that would cause anger or resentment.

As elders, if the younger generation wants to do something, they must let them do it.Therefore, since Li Jingyi started to investigate the Chen family, Tang Shuyi and Xiao Huai really didn't care.A few days later, the two went to Xie's house to discuss the wedding date of Xiao Yuming and Xie Xihua.

Tang Shuyi had already chosen a few days before, and when discussing with the Xie family, he also asked them to choose between these days.Later, the two families agreed to get married on the eighth day of February next year.

After discussing the wedding date, Tang Shuyi and Mrs. Xie Er sat together and chatted.Tang Shuyi smiled and said: "My father-in-law means that Yu Ming will go to the northwest in a few days."

"Boys should naturally put their future first." Mrs. Xie said that she was mentally prepared for Xiao Yuming and Xie Xihua to live in the northwest all year round after they got married.

"When I get back, I'll have the house in the northwest tidied up. Just tell me what Xihua likes and I'll have it prepared." Tang Shuyi added.They are all mothers, and she can understand the feeling of her daughter not being around all year round.

Mrs. Xie Er did feel uncomfortable when she thought that her daughter would stay in the northwest all year round.But she couldn't express this feeling in front of Tang Shuyi. After all, it could be said that they had asked for this marriage, and apart from this, there was really nothing bad about this marriage.

"Although she has been pampered by me these years, she is happy-go-lucky and can adapt to any situation." Mrs. Xie Er said with a smile.

The two chatted for a while, and Mrs. Xie leaned slightly closer to Tang Shuyi and said, "Is it the eleventh day for Yuzhu?"

Tang Shuyi nodded, and Mrs. Xie added: "We are our own people, so I won't beat around the bush with you. A few days ago, the eldest lady of Anjin's Fan family came back to visit relatives and brought her eldest son, who is the current current member of the Fan family. The eldest son and grandson of the head of the family, he is equally good in appearance and knowledge. Madam Fan asked me to explore your words."

Tang Shuyi was stunned after hearing her words. She knew about the Anjin and Fan family. They were also a powerful family for hundreds of years. Their resources were no less than those of the Xie family, but their roots were not in Shangjing.

She thought for a moment and said, "Yuzhu is still young. I want to wait until she is older before talking about her marriage."

Mrs. Xie Er thought that the new emperor had been refusing to draft, and she was not sure about some things, so she said: "That's right, Yuzhu is still young."

The two stopped talking about this topic and talked about other things.Lunch was at Xie's Mansion. After lunch, they chatted for a while before Tang Shuyi and Xiao Huai said goodbye.

After returning home, Tang Shuyi told Xiao Huai about Mrs. Xie's interrogation. After hearing this, Xiao Huai said: "Even if it is not the emperor, it cannot be the Fan family. An Jin is too far away."

Tang Shuyi thought the same way. Ancient times were different from modern times. It only took a few hours to fly from one city to another. In ancient times, a daughter who was married far away would have to travel for a month or two to visit her parents' home.The most important thing is that if the daughter suffers any grievance, her parents and brothers cannot know immediately and support her.

In the Xie family, Mrs. Xie was also talking to Mr. Xie about this matter. "Mrs. Dingguo refused without hesitation, saying that Yuzhu was still young. The emperor has always refused to choose the draft. Is it true that Xiao Yuzhu is going to enter?" palace."

Originally, she thought that given the pampering of their daughter by Duke Ding and his wife, she should not be allowed to enter the palace. After all, women in the palace were rarely happy.But Tang Shuyi refused without hesitation, and she began to be unsure.

Mr. Xie leaned on the back of his chair and drank tea slowly. After listening to her words, he said, "I'm not sure. Mr. and Mrs. Dingguo think about things differently from others."

Mrs. Xie thought for a while and then said: "Is it because she dislikes An Jinyuan and doesn't want her daughter to marry far away? I didn't tell Duke Dingguo at that time that the Fan family planned to let Fan Li join the court as an official."

Mr. Xie put the tea cup on the table, "Don't worry about this matter. We will go back to Fan's house tomorrow."

Second Madam Xie nodded, but still said: "If the Emperor has feelings for Xiao Yuzhu, the Fan family's plan will probably fail."

But after listening to her words, Mr. Xie said: "As long as Mr. and Mrs. Dingguo agree, the Fan family is not afraid."

Madam Xie was stunned for a moment, and then looked astonished.The current emperor is young, and his ability to maintain a stable position relies on his status as Duke Dingguo and his royal descendants, while the Fan family's confidence lies in its hundreds of years of rich heritage.If the emperor does not have the support of Duke Dingguo, he will not be able to compete with the Fan family for the time being.

The next day, Mrs. Xie Er met Mrs. Fan and told her about Tang Shuyi's attitude. Mrs. Fan looked disappointed after hearing this, but she still smiled and said: "That's right, the child is still young, so the marriage will be later. Let’s talk about it next year.”

Mrs. Xie Er didn't know if she had given up. Anyway, she just wanted to make a conversation and didn't care about anything else.The two chatted for a while, and then Mrs. Xie left.

Mrs. Fan called her son to her side and said, "Mrs. Dingguo said that her daughter is young and will consider marriage in a few years. This is a polite rejection, so don't think about it."

Mr. Fan is fifteen or sixteen years old, with a tall figure and delicate facial features. He is sitting there in a purple brocade robe, looking indescribably noble.After hearing Mrs. Fan's words, he lowered his eyes and said, "This is what Mrs. Dingguo means. I will ask someone to ask Duke Ding again."

Mrs. Fan looked helpless, "Haven't you heard that Duke Dingguo is afraid of his hen?"

Mr. Fan clenched his fists and said nothing. Upon seeing this, Mrs. Fan persuaded softly, "I heard that before the current emperor succeeded to the throne, he was taught by Mrs. Dingguo. Do you think there is any affection between the emperor and Xiao Yuzhu?"

"As long as they are not married, nothing can be said." said Mr. Fan.

Seeing his insistence, Mrs. Fan frowned, "You are the eldest grandson of the Fan family. I don't need to tell you what responsibilities you have on your shoulders. What should be done, what should not be done, what things should be persisted in, and what things should be done." You should know better when it comes to letting go.”

Mr. Fan sat there in silence for a long time, and then said, "My son understands."
