The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Besides, this place is not far from his third brother's yard. Who would dare to make any inappropriate noise here?

Xie Zhun held his breath, walked over quietly and quickly, and stood behind Chu Heyi and Nanny Rui.

When Wangshan noticed his arrival, he immediately made a gesture to Wangshan to keep quiet.

It turned out that on the other side of the bushes, several maids and servants were gathered together gossiping, and they were still talking about the matter of exchanging osmanthus for chrysanthemums.

"What do you think? Is the head of the family in bad shape? He didn't take any action despite such a big incident."

"Perhaps the master's health is really failing, and he can't keep up with the unpredictable changes in the market. Otherwise, why would the Xie family leave a lot of money unprofitable and insist on guarding the osmanthus?"

"I heard that Master Yang came to Xie's house today to show off that they will win the title of the number one merchant in the flower market. Master Er's face turned blue with anger."

"If you ask me, the Xie family should be handed over to the eldest young master. The eldest young master is courageous and energetic, and he will definitely make the Xie family stronger and bigger. Unlike the third master, who only wants to guard the existing family business and make a living due to poor health, he will sooner or later be surpassed by the families behind him."

"I think so too. Poor young master was thrown to the farm because he wanted to replace osmanthus with chrysanthemum. Third Master refused to admit that he was not good enough and wanted to humiliate his nephew."

"Stop talking, this place is not far from the Third Master's yard, if anyone hears you, watch your tongue!"

"The Third Master has been lying on the couch all day to recuperate. He has no time or energy to take care of us now."

When Xie Zhun heard everyone's discussion, he got angry at first. These servants were too gossipy and didn't take the master's family seriously at all.

But as their conversation deepened, Xie Zhun felt a surge of pride.

Xie Shaobai went to the farm, but still secretly sent someone to find him and asked him to pay some money to buy chrysanthemums.

In fact, he shared the same idea as Xie Shaobai, thinking that chrysanthemums were very popular right now. They were the bonsai that the emperor would use to celebrate the empress dowager's birthday in autumn. How could the Xie family not do anything?

So, he spent a large sum of money and followed Xie Shaobai to buy chrysanthemums. When the matter was done in the autumn, he would tell his third brother about it, thus saving the Xie family from a huge loss.

Look! Not only he and Xie Shaobai thought so, but the maids and servants also thought that they should buy chrysanthemums!

This time, he and Shaobai made the right bet, but unfortunately his third brother, who has always been extremely smart, could not keep up with the pace of the market this time!

It's really rare that after all these years he is finally smarter than his third brother!

I don’t know if the head of the Xie family will be replaced in the future. My third brother can’t go on like this!

Chu Heyi turned around and saw the smug expression on Xie Zhun's face, which had not yet been hidden. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Second Master, the servants of your Xie family are very arrogant. They can talk about the master's family like this in private."

He then asked, "Moreover, you seem to be very happy about their comments? Could it be that you, like them, do not approve of what the Third Master did?"

Xie Zhun felt a little guilty: "Wangshan, go and teach them a lesson. How can they talk about the master behind his back? Fine them three months' salary, no, six months!"

Even if what they said is right, this kind of behavior is unacceptable, otherwise the servants will bully their masters in the future, right?

When the servants heard the noise from this side, they were all frightened and kept silent for a long time. Until they saw Wangshan walking up to them, they finally gave up and knelt down to beg for mercy.

Chu Heyi didn't read on and walked towards Xie Lin's yard.

Xie Zhun was stunned for a moment, then followed.

"Miss Chu, the Third Master is waiting for you in the study. I'll take you there." The maid in the yard walked forward, bowed, and took Chu Heyi to the study.

When they reached the door of the study, the maid knocked on the door: "Third Master, Miss Chu is here."

After hearing Xie Lin say "Come in", the maid pushed the door open and made a gesture to Chu Heyi: "Miss Chu, please come in. I'll make you a cup of tea."

When Chu Heyi entered, she saw Xie Lin standing by the window putting down the book, looking up at her, and then said coldly: "Sit down."

Chu Heyi sat down, but looked at Xie Zhun: "Second Master seems to be very interested in what we are going to talk about next?"

Xie Zhun smiled awkwardly: "My third brother is unmarried and Miss Chu is unmarried. It's not good for you to stay in the same room. As the second brother, I'm watching from the side to prevent you from being gossiped about."

"I'm not afraid of gossip, what about you, Third Master?"

Xie Zhun looked at Xie Lin anxiously, his eyes clearly saying, "I'm your second brother, you can't chase me away!"

Xie Lin sat down elegantly on the chair: "Miss Chu, please feel free to speak up. It doesn't matter if my second brother is here."

Xie Zhun raised his eyebrows proudly at Chu Heyi.

Chu Heyi was a little surprised. Normally, Xie Lin didn't like having irrelevant people around him when discussing matters.

Maybe that was him in his previous life, and he is not like that in this life.

Thinking of this, Chu Heyi accepted it calmly: "I heard that Xie Shaobai poisoned you a few days ago, is it true?"

When asking this question, Chu Heyi's eyes were fixed on Xie Lin's expression.

"it is true."

Chu Heyi frowned almost imperceptibly. The time did not match that of his previous life. He had not been poisoned so early in his previous life.

But Xie Lin's expression didn't seem fake.

"Was Xie Shaobai really given fifty strokes of the cane and then sent to the manor?"

"Ah."

"But I have accurate information. Xie Shaobai spent two million taels of silver to purchase chrysanthemums, and he paid a very high price. Now, chrysanthemums cost sixty wen a pot outside, but he was offering one hundred wen or even one hundred and twenty wen."

Xie Lin's face was calm, showing no emotion.

After a while, he said, "My eldest nephew is really capable this time."

"You clearly knew this was a trap, so why didn't you stop it? You just threw him on the farm and that was it? Why didn't you get someone to keep an eye on him?"

"What do you think?"

"I want you to tell me straight away."

Xie Lin looked into her eyes and said, "Chrysanthemums are related to the Queen Mother's birthday. Merchants who heard the news have replaced other flowers with chrysanthemums. It makes no sense for my Xie family not to take a bite of such fat meat."

Xie Zhun: Hmm? Why has Third Brother changed?

Chu He was furious: "You mean, what Xie Shaobai did was secretly instructed by you? Then why did you punish him with fifty strokes of the cane and send him to the farm?"

Xie Lin was frank: "When I punished him with a cane, I felt that the wind was changing too fast and I was afraid there was something fishy going on. But now, it's been a long time since the incident happened, the royal family hasn't clarified it yet, the nobles in the palace have confirmed that it's true, and the Yang family has invested all their family money in it, so I think it can be done now."

His analysis was so logical and reasonable that it was impossible to refute it.

Even if she told him that this was a conspiracy, he wouldn't believe it.

Yes, when it comes down to it, Xie Lin just didn't believe her.

Chu Heyi was angry, but also felt heartbroken.

But who is she? She is Chu Heyi, the Chu Heyi that Xie Lin personally taught for ten years in her previous life. She suppressed all her anger and heartache, leaving only coldness and pride on her face.

"Okay, since Third Master has decided to eat this piece of fat meat, then I have nothing to say! I just ask Third Master not to forget that the sweet osmanthus flowers in the hundred-acre sweet osmanthus garden west of Xie's city must not be replaced. This is the promise Third Master made to me in the past!"
