After binding the mistress system, raise cubs and train husbands in the mansion

Chapter 28: The Day of Entering the Court and Being Appointed as an Official

Old Madam Xie gave her a sidelong glance. If it weren't for Yuan's complaint, how could she be so embarrassed today?

"From now on, you are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the restaurant. Take good care of your family!"

"Yes, mother!"

Yuan didn't dare to say more and walked out.

I had just walked two steps out of the door when I saw Yun Zhihan and others not far away.

Is she waiting for herself?

She guessed right, Yun Zhihan was waiting for her.

"Sister-in-law, have you been busy managing the household lately?"

Yuan forced a smile, "It's not hard, but my sister-in-law will be in charge of Yunsheng Restaurant again. I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future."

"Oh!" Yun Zhihan replied with a half-smile, "Thank you sister-in-law for your concern. From now on, you and I will each take care of our own business and keep out of each other's way."

"If sister-in-law wants to use the old lady's hand to interfere with my Yun family's business, then don't blame my sister-in-law for being ruthless."

After that, she took a step closer to Yuan and whispered in her ear, "Sister-in-law, do you still remember? My eldest brother is impotent, and I have a legitimate son and daughter. Who do you think the old lady will side with?"

After hearing this, Yuan looked at her with murderous eyes, wishing she could strangle this woman to death.

Seeing her angry, Yun Zhihan felt much better. Before leaving, he said, "Sister-in-law, don't panic. I still have leverage over you and my elder brother. If you want to live peacefully in the Xie family, don't mess with me."

After saying this, he left with his maid.

Yuan stayed where she was, looking at Yun Zhihan's departing back, clenching her fists tightly, her fingernails digging into the flesh, blood slightly flowing from her fingertips.

Yun Zhihan! You are waiting for me. As long as I am alive, you will not have an easy life.

Just then, Xie Bailiang came back from outside and saw Yuan's angry face. He stepped forward and asked with concern, "Mom, what happened? Who made you angry?"

After hearing his son's halfhearted concern and remembering his incompetence, he angrily accused him, "What do you do when you're idle every day? Why don't you go to school?"

"Mom, my son is taking a day off today." Bai Liang explained weakly. He now just wanted to find an excuse to escape quickly.

But Yuan was not calmed down, and scolded even more harshly, "Useless thing, why don't you go to the study and study? Look at Bai Yuan, and then look at you! How could I raise a useless trash like you!"

"Yes, son, I understand." Bai Liang didn't stay for long. He lowered his head and left quickly.

Although he had long been accustomed to his mother's innocent temper, he still felt sad every time she was scolded.

……

After Zhao Tuo was beaten by Xie Bochen, he stayed quiet for a while. Firstly, he was injured and couldn't move around easily. Secondly, he had set his sights on Yun Zhihan and wanted her to kneel in front of him and kowtow for mercy.

"Master, I have already found out who is behind the Yunsheng Restaurant. It is a man named Yun Heli."

"What? You said Yun Heli? Was he the famous businessman who came to Beijing before?" Zhao Tuo exclaimed.

"Yes, how? Do you know him?"

"He, isn't he dead?"

"Yes, he is dead, but the restaurant is now run by his daughter Yun Zhihan, General Xie's widow."

Zhao Tuo didn't say anything, but secretly sighed in his heart, this is really a coincidence, she and Yun Zhihan are really a heaven-sent fate, the woman that Xie Songqiao, that idiot, didn't get, turned out to be his, Zhao Tuo, in the end.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, just keep talking."

The person next to him told him about Yun Zhihan driving Lin Da away, and Zhao Tuo nodded with satisfaction.

"Master, there is one more thing."

"Say!"

"Yun Zhihan's eldest son, Xie Boyuan, is the third place winner in this year's imperial examination. He will be appointed an official in the imperial court on a chosen day."

"Oh?" Zhao Tuo became alert. He must not leave this person in Shangjing, otherwise his plan would be difficult.

"Leng Qing! Go check this Xie Boyuan and see if he has done anything shameful."

"Master, I have checked. This child is only seventeen years old. Apart from studying and practicing martial arts, he has no hobbies. However, on the day of passing the imperial examination, someone saw him go to a brothel with his friends."

"But it seems that he didn't do anything, he just drank."

Leng Qing thought for a moment and suddenly recalled, "But some people said that he hugged a woman in the street."

"Are you sure?" Zhao Tuo seemed to see hope. As long as he reported to the emperor that this man had robbed a woman in the street and had bad behavior, he should be exiled to a remote place to serve as an official and have some good training. Wouldn't that be enough?

"I heard it from the brothel madam, but she only saw it and doesn't know the details."

"Okay, let's go down."

Zhao Tuo didn't care whether it was true or not. As long as he insisted on it, he thought Xie Boyuan wouldn't be able to tell anything.

……

On the day when Xie Baiyuan entered the court and was appointed an official, Yun Zhihan, Old Madam Xie and other relatives of the Xie family came out to see him off.

"Yuan'er, you are the hope of the Marquisate. Grandmother believes that you can restore the prestige of the Xie family."

"Yes! Grandma, Yuan'er will definitely work hard."

"Yuan'er, you are a role model for the Xie family. When you become an official in the future, don't forget your brother Bai Liang. I am here to thank you."

Xie Boyuan didn't like Yuan's hypocrisy, but the gentleman's etiquette restrained his behavior and he said the word "good" from his mouth.

Bai Chen and Bai Jin stayed aside, and it seemed that they had nothing to say to him.

What Bai Yuan looks forward to most is of course his mother's instructions. As long as his mother says so, he will do his best to complete it.

"Mom, is there anything else you want to ask your son?"

Before Yun Zhihan could speak, Tongzi became anxious. "Hanhan, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and encourage Yuan'er to be a good official and become a loyal minister in the future, as brave and fearless as his father."

She felt that this statement was too official. The child was only seventeen years old. Why should he bear so much pressure?

So, she took a step closer and whispered in Xie Boyuan's ear, "Mom saw someone selling roast duck on the street some time ago. If you come back early, remember to buy one back."

After saying that, Yun Zhihan winked at him.

Xie Baiyuan looked at his mother with a puzzled look on his face, full of question marks, as if saying: Mom, do you know what day it is today?

Yun Zhihan nodded and smiled: Of course Mom knows, today is worth celebrating, a roast duck is enough.

Yuan'er nodded in agreement, then said goodbye to his family, got on the carriage, and drove towards the palace.

Along the way, he was both excited and nervous. He was excited because he could finally become the pillar of the Xie family, but he was nervous because he might be exiled to a distant place after taking office.

But if he was gone, what would happen to his mother? Ever since he heard about the Yunsheng Restaurant, he had been worried. If he was gone, would his brother and sister be able to take good care of their mother?

"Ah!" He sighed softly. After all, he had no say in these matters. He only hoped that the emperor would be so gracious that he could stay in Shangjing, fulfill his father's request, and be a man who was both loyal and filial.
