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

The doorman ran so fast that he almost fell down when he got to the front.

Madam Rui scolded him: "Come back to your breath first!"

The servant panted for a long time before saying, "This time, the old general was the commander-in-chief. After arriving at Changqing City, he divided his troops into three groups to fight against the Northern Zhou army. Just now, we received news that they were defeated in the first battle."

In one sentence, the seemingly harmonious atmosphere just now was shattered.

After a while, Chu Runxue said, "It's just a defeat in the first battle, don't worry. I think the morale of the Northern Zhou army was boosted after learning that my brother had lost his legs, which led to the victory in the first battle.

"But this time, the people heading to the North are not only our father who has been fighting for years, but also His Royal Highness King Cheng who has made military achievements. They will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory in the end."

He added, "The news must have reached the palace by now. Concubine Zheng must be worried about His Royal Highness Prince Cheng. I will go to the palace to comfort Concubine Zheng. Sister Heyi, don't worry too much. I will come back to accompany you soon."

After Chu Runxue finished speaking, she stood up and left.

Saying that she was going to comfort Concubine Zheng was just an excuse. In fact, she had an important matter to do when she entered the palace.

When she reached the door, she looked back at Chu Heyi on purpose.

Chu Heyi seemed to have a premonition, and when she looked back, he also looked at her. The two people's gazes collided in mid-air, and an undercurrent surged in silence.

After sending the concierge away, Baihua asked, "Did Miss really come to the palace just to comfort Concubine Zheng?"

Chu Heyi said: "If it's not against me, don't worry about what she is doing in the palace. If it's against me, we will know the result soon. Relax."

Anyway, her father and brother will definitely return victorious this time.

Of course, the current defeat is a real defeat.

But the beginning does not mean the final ending.

After the news of the failure of the first battle in the north came, the ministers rushed to the palace to give advice to the emperor and share his worries. The entire Shengjing city seemed to be in a state of panic and emergency in an instant.

The Xie family also entered a state of emergency. Although they only had one fifth-rank official working in the court, the Osmanthus situation was over, and tonight was the time to settle accounts with Xie Zhun and Xie Shaobai.

It was because in the afternoon, the young master of the money shop came and said that the money that Xie Zhun and Xie Shaobai borrowed from their money shop had matured and should be repaid.

At that time, except for Xie Lin, the rest of the Xie family were shocked, especially the old lady, who asked directly: "How could our Xie family owe money to your Liu's bank?"

Young Master Liu took out the document and said, "Madam, this is the document that your Second Master Xie brought the land deed to my Liu's Bank to borrow money. If you don't pay back the money, this piece of land will belong to our Liu family."

The other party not only took out the document, but also took out the deed to the Xie family's land in the east of the city.

"How come the title deed to our Xie family's east city is in your hands?"

"I'll ask your Second Master about this matter. Second Master Xie brought the land deed to my Liu's Bank to mortgage the silver, three million taels of silver. May I ask Third Master Xie, will you pay back the money, or will the land in the east of the city belong to us?"

Xie Lin immediately asked Wangshan to take three million taels of silver notes to Young Master Liu and get the land deed back.

After the Liu family left, it was already late, so Xie Lin called the whole family, young and old, and asked someone to bring Xie Jun and his nephew to the main hall.

Xie Zhun confessed without hesitation: "I stole the deed from my mother's room. We thought that after this success, we would make a lot of money, and then we could redeem the deed and the matter would be over. We never thought that the Queen Mother would specifically ask for Guihua in the end."

Xie Lin, dressed in a light blue brocade robe, sat quietly on a chair, looking calmly at the uncle and nephew kneeling on the ground, and grasped the key words in Xie Zhun's words: "We? Second brother and who?"

Xie Zhun pursed his lips, looked left and right, and thought that he couldn't escape anyway, so he simply said, "Shaobai and I stole the land deed to mortgage the three million taels of silver. It was something we decided together."

Although Xie Shaobai remained silent, he knelt on the ground with his cheeks puffed out and eyes filled with resentment, looking very unconvinced.

He didn't tell anyone that it was Guyu who gave him the idea to steal the land deed.

He thought it was impossible at the time, but Guyu encouraged him.

With the approval of his second uncle, he became fearless and thought that this matter could succeed.

Xie Lin lowered his eyes and looked at his nephew. He wanted to tuck the jade pendant around his waist again, but Chu Heyi took it away. He felt really uncomfortable.

He had no choice but to put one hand on the table beside him and sit quietly without any unnecessary movements.

"Do you admit what the second brother said, Xie Shaobai?" Xie Lin asked calmly, without reducing his dignity as the head of the family.

"It was my idea to ask Second Uncle to steal the land deed, so what?" Xie Shaobai raised his eyes and stared at Xie Lin angrily.

The old lady was anxious and wanted Xie Shaobai to admit his mistake quickly so that his punishment could be reduced. However, Xie Shaobai didn't even look at her, so naturally he couldn't see the anxiety in her eyes.

"Third brother, Shaobai is young and energetic. He just wanted to do something for the family, so he went astray. Why don't you let me teach him? I'll ask him to admit his mistakes and apologize to you later. He's already pitiful without a father. You've punished him twice before. Let him go this time?"

Xie Lin asked, "Young? Mother, do you think he is younger than me?"

The old lady looked embarrassed. Yes, her eldest nephew is a few years older than Xie Lin, but Xie Lin never makes any mistakes.

Xie Shaobai said in a hateful voice: "Why is Third Uncle so arrogant? Are Second Uncle and I the only ones who made mistakes in this matter? Didn't Third Uncle make any mistakes?"

Xie Lin replied: "No."

Xie Shaobai sneered: "I heard from my second uncle that after seeing that everyone was selling osmanthus and buying chrysanthemums, my third uncle felt regretful and wanted to join the game earlier. Why, are my second uncle and I the only ones who lost money? Didn't my third uncle lose money?"

Xie Shaobai has been trapped in the yard these days. He is in a bad mood, so he drinks every day to drown his sorrows and is unaware of the situation in the outside world.

It was still summer when Xie Zhun whispered those words to his ears, and Xie Shaobai thought that Xie Lin must have joined in as well.

Therefore, he was very dissatisfied. He and his second uncle were the only ones punished to kneel here like prisoners!

If there is to be a punishment, Xie Lin should also be punished!

"Wangshan, ask the accountant to show them the account book." Facing Xie Shaobai's anger, Xie Lin was completely indifferent.

The accountant walked up to them with the account book, squatted down, unfolded the book for them to see, and read it aloud to them.

"...Second Master, Young Master, all the money you two lost to the Xie family has been made up by the money earned by the head of the family."

"This is impossible!" Xie Shaobai's eyes were red with anger. He snatched the account book to look at it himself, but he saw that every single entry on it was the money that Xie Lin had earned for the Xie family in the Osmanthus Bureau this time!

All the losses he and his second uncle had made up for were made up by Xie Lin, made up for it all!!

Xie Shaobai fell to the ground and the account book slipped from his hands.

Xie Lin stood up, walked forward, and looked at him indifferently from top to bottom: "Are you admitting your mistake?"
