Chapter 251 Mother Killing
A turbulent house raid finally came to an end after the twelfth lunar month passed.
Xie Zhiwei's carriage slowly drove into the east corner gate, and she got off the carriage when Shen Shuang came over and saluted, "Miss, the old lady is here!"
"I see!" Xie Zhiwei responded, she got off the carriage, Shen Shuang stretched out her hand and supported her.
In Qijianzhai, the old man was sitting alone in front of the south window playing chess. Xie Zhiwei walked over to salute and glanced at the chessboard. It was the chess game she and Xu Peiyun played in Youlan Residence. The encirclement formed a situation of besieging Wei and saving Zhao.
At that time, Xu Peiyun reckoned that he was flustered for a while and made a mistake in his move, which is a sure-to-lose move when playing blindfolded chess.
And if it were her, facing such a situation, there might not be no winning moves.
The old man looked up at her, and waved to her kindly, "Come on, sister Wei, come and play this game of chess with grandpa."
Today, after the early court, the emperor sent him to the East Nuan Pavilion, and there was this game of chess on the chessboard. He was asked to hold the black pieces, and the emperor held the white pieces.
At this time, Xie Zhiwei was holding the white piece, and it was her turn to place the piece. She gently landed the piece on the east, thirteen, south, and four. The white piece was like a living dragon, stirring up the situation on the chessboard.
Xie Tiao's eyes lit up suddenly, and he looked at his granddaughter in disbelief. After a long time, he laughed loudly, and put the sunspots on the chessboard, "Grandfather lost!"
Xie Zhiwei got up and knelt down in front of Xie Tiao, "Grandfather, please forgive my granddaughter for her crime of plotting. The feud between mother and mother is irreconcilable. Granddaughter can't kill her enemy with a sharp knife in her hand. Only in this way can she avenge her blood." !"
With tears in Xie Tiao's eyes, his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and the smile on his face was so stiff that he didn't know how to change it. After a long time, as if he had exhausted all his strength, he stroked his hand on Xie Zhiwei's head , "Good boy, I'm sorry for you! This matter ends here, and the rest is left to grandfather, who will uphold justice for your mother!"
Xie Zhiwei raised her head in horror. She looked at her grandfather in disbelief. She saw that he had just passed his life, and his temples were graying. It seemed that he had aged many years in a short period of time.
"Grandfather, did you not take the medicinal prescription prescribed by your granddaughter on time?"
"I've been eating on time. I've been very busy with official duties recently. For your two million taels of silver, the emperor is planning to promote my grandfather to the position of Minister of the Household Department. My grandfather is almost dying of worry!"
Only those who are in charge of the six ministries are eligible to join the cabinet.
Xie Tiao said as he helped Xie Zhiwei up with his own hands, and let Xie Zhiwei sit down, "The clan elders who were invited before have all arrived. Tomorrow, the ancestral hall will be opened at home, and your second and fourth uncles will be recorded under your grandmother's name. Grandfather will give Feng a letter to release his wife, and after that, she will no longer belong to the Xie family."
Xie Zhiwei only felt the gloom in her chest dissipate, and she slowly lowered her knees, "Thank you, grandfather!"
"You don't need to thank your grandfather, this is the Xie family's rule. If the Xie family allows such a vicious person to be enshrined on the tablet of the Xie family for the sake of face, grandfather will become the eternal sinner of the Xie family! You have to remember that the Xie family can It has been passed down for many years, not because every generation has high-ranking officials, but because of the family style and family law, didn't you restore the family law hall? This is very good, if you are a man, grandpa will wake up laughing!"
She thought for a while and said, "After the Feng family was confiscated, there were still some shops and farms left. The Ministry of Households gave these to the granddaughter, and the granddaughter wanted to take them out and distribute them to the younger brothers and sisters."
Xie Tiao couldn't help but look at this granddaughter again. If it is said that the money swallowed by the Feng family before, the granddaughter knew that she could not get it all back, so she took this opportunity to buy fame and punish the Feng family. If she is greedy for property, what she said can be completely ignored, and no one in the Xie family dares to comment, but she just proposed to share it with her younger siblings. This kind of heart is very unusual.
"Miss Wei, you are kind-hearted and broad-minded. Grandfather is very pleased. But you have to know that everything must be done in moderation. If you give away a horse occasionally, or some pens, ink, paper and inkstone, Brothers and sisters will be very grateful to you, but if you give the farm as a shop, what else can you give next time? If you don’t give them away in the future, will they blame you? "
"No!" Xie Zhiwei shook his head firmly, "They won't!"
She couldn't help but think of what the second younger sister said to her at the gate of the cold palace in her previous life. Even if the Xie family suffered a catastrophe, the younger brothers never resented her.
If there is really resentment from her younger brother, then she deserves it, it is a debt owed in her previous life.
Xie Tiao saw tears rolling in Xie Zhiwei's eyes, he was also very emotional for a moment, nodded, "If you insist, grandfather will not stop you."
He told Shen Shuang, "Go and bring me the box in the compartment of my cabinet!"
After Shen Shuang responded, she quickly brought a red sandalwood box with lacquer and jade inlays over, and presented it to Xie Tiao.
Xie Tiao took it, but didn't open it, and handed it to Xie Zhiwei, "Take it, this is left by your grandmother, you are the eldest daughter of the Xie family, this is for you!"
Xie Tiao, when he said "grandmother" to Xie Zhiwei, he meant Lu Shi. Xie Zhiwei held her in his arms, stood up with the strength of Xie Tiao's support of her big arm, and blessed himself, "Thank you, grandfather!"
Shen Shuang rushed in, not caring about her appearance, and hurriedly said, "Old man, young lady, it's not good, the old man is going to rush to Qingzhuyuan with a sword in his hand."
Qing Zhuyuan? Isn't there an old lady living in Qingzhuyuan?
Xie Zhiwei's eyes widened in horror, she rushed out holding the box, saw Du Yuan, stuffed the box into Du Yuan's arms, and ran towards Fuyun Courtyard with her skirt in hand.
Xie Tiao can't take care of anything anymore. Pity him for being old and pampered. At this critical moment, he can't run and staggers. If Du Yuan didn't help him quickly, he would fall down. The dog gnawed the ground.
At this moment, no one is more regretful than the old man for not dealing with Feng's disaster as soon as possible. If his most beloved son is killed, he will regret it in this life and in the next life.
In the courtyard of Fuyun Courtyard, Yuan Shi knelt on the ground, hugged Xie Yuanbai's legs, and begged bitterly, "Master, if you are angry, shoot me at me, and kill me if you want to kill me. Let the child stay alive!"
Yuan didn't dare to say that he would leave a way out for himself, but only said that the two children knew it in his heart. Once he touched Cui, Xie Yuanbai would not be able to remember anyone, and he would not care about anyone, but the two children are different.
"Let go!" Angry to the extreme, Xie Yuanbai seemed very calm, his eyes were bloodshot, letting people know that he was so angry that he lost his mind.
The first update!
