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

After seeing off Xie's family, Xiao Yuzhu approached Tang Shuyi with a smile, and whispered, "Mom, I have something to tell you."

Seeing her expression, Tang Shuyi knew that it was not a bad thing. He smiled and pulled her to sit next to him, and said, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Yuzhu giggled again, "Just now, I took sister Xie to see the Snowman, and I met my second brother..."

She recounted the incident in the garden, and then said: "I think sister Xie must be very angry when she was thrown by second brother's snowball, so I asked her to vote for my second brother."

Tang Shuyi laughed when she heard this, "Little clever ghost."

Xiao Yuzhu leaned into Tang Shuyi's arms with a smile, and said, "I think sister Xie is pretty good, but what if such a good marriage is lost because of my second brother's stupidity?"

Tang Shuyi pinched her little nose, "Your second brother will thank you later."

Xiao Yuzhu smiled and nodded, when a voice came from outside, "The Duke is here."

Then the curtain was pulled open, and Xiao Huai stepped in.Seeing the mother and daughter leaning together and still smiling, he couldn't help but smile on his face.Seeing him, Xiao Yuzhu got up and saluted, "Daddy."

Xiao Huai waved her to sit down, and then he also sat down and said, "What's so happy about it?"

Tang Shuyi felt uncomfortable when he thought of his promise to marry Xie's family, and the smile on her face faded, and she said, "Nothing?"

As she said that, she looked down at Xiao Yuzhu and said, "Go back to your room and rest, I'll talk to your father."

Xiao Yuzhu glanced at Xiao Huai, pursed her lips and said, "I also have something to say to Daddy."

She got up and walked out, and said: "Daddy, let's go outside and talk."

Xiao Huai was slightly stunned, but he obediently got up and followed her out of the house. The father and daughter stood in the corridor.In winter weather, there is always a lot of wind.Xiao Huai stood at the vent, blocking the cold wind for Xiao Yuzhu.

He looked down at the little girl in front of him, and asked with a smile in his voice, "What do you want to tell me?"

Xiao Yuzhu looked down at her own toes, thinking in her heart that a few years ago, her mother was depressed because of missing her father, so she mustered up the courage to look up at Xiao Huai and said, "Daddy, you...you have someone else ?"

Xiao Huai didn't expect her to ask this as soon as she opened her mouth, and she was stunned for a while.But before he opened his mouth to speak, the little girl said again: "If you have someone else, just talk directly to my mother and my elder brother, you don't have to deliberately neglect my mother."

As she spoke, her tears flowed down, but she stubbornly raised her hand to wipe them away, and said: "You are our father, and you have someone else, me and my brothers as children, and there is no way to stop it. But even if the mother reconciles with you Now, that woman can't be the main wife either. I won't agree, and my brother and they won't agree either. "

Xiao Yuzhu said the last two sentences very decisively.She felt that the current mother should not tolerate her father having other women. If her father really had another woman, she would choose to divorce.But even if they divorced, that woman would never want to seize her mother's position in the mansion.

And Xiao Huai was shocked, what is this all about?Besides, is this something a ten-year-old girl can say?

He frowned and organized his words, and said: "I don't have any other women for my father, and I didn't deliberately neglect your mother. I have been busy with business these two days."

Xiao Yuzhu was dubious about his words, "Really?"

The little girl's eyes were red, and there were still teardrops on her eyelashes. Xiao Huai looked at her, her heart was so soft and stuffy, he stretched out his hand to help her wrap up her cloak, and said, "Really. It's cold outside, so go back to the house." .”

"Really?" Xiao Yuzhu still didn't quite believe it.

Xiao Huai said with a very serious tone and expression this time: "It's true."

Seeing him like this, Xiao Yuzhu nodded her head and said, "I trust Daddy. Then you'll make amends to Mother in a while, and then explain to her properly."

Xiao Huai: "...Okay."

Xiao Yuzhu got his affirmative answer, put a smile on her face, saluted Xiao Huai, then turned and went back to her room.

Xiao Huai watched her enter the room, then turned around dumbfounded, opened the door curtain and entered the small flower hall.

Seeing him coming in, Tang Shuyi smiled politely and said, "Master, sit down."

Xiao Huai nodded, walked to the chair and sat down.Then there was a silence in the room.Tang Shuyi drank tea with a cup. Although she wanted to speak clearly with Xiao Huai quickly, she still had to be steady when negotiating.

After a while, Xiao Huai said, "Before Xie Liu mentioned to me about the marriage between the two families, I did not refuse, but I didn't think carefully at that time, I hope Madam forgive me. I have already told Xie Er that our two families are married. Everything is according to Madam's instructions."

Tang Shuyi didn't expect that he would take the initiative to apologize. Because he talked about the marriage with Xie's family before, his depressed mood improved a lot.

At this moment, I heard Xiao Huai say again: "At that time, I had just returned to the Northwest Army, and I couldn't control things in Beijing. I was afraid that the news that I was not dead would spread to Beijing. Because the emperor was afraid of me, he treated you and the three The child made a move. At that time, I was thinking that if the Xie family helped, the emperor would make trouble for you and the three children to get out of trouble."

After saying this, he paused and said: "Of course, I also have selfish intentions. Cooperating with the Xie family will greatly help my future plans."

He was so frank that Tang Shuyi's remaining discomfort completely disappeared.In fact, as the head of the family, when considering things, if you just use your emotions and don't consider the gains and losses, you are not a qualified head of the family.

"The Lord's consideration is considered comprehensive," Tang Shuyi said: "It's just that marriage is a major event in a person's life, if you can't find a like-minded person to accompany you, then you will be missing a lot.

Yuchen, Yuming, and Yuzhu are all sensible children. They know that as members of the family, they should contribute to the family.But there are many ways to contribute, and I don't want to sacrifice their marriage. "

Xiao Huai nodded, "Ma'am is right, everything depends on Madam."

Tang Shuyi heard his words, looked at him sideways, and saw that his face was serious, without any perfunctory intention.I feel a little weird in my heart, is it so easy to communicate?

"Second Madam Xie told me today that Sixth Master Xie was kidnapped by Princess Rouli and then rescued by the Duke." Tang Shuyi asked curiously, "How did the Duke rescue Xie Liu by coincidence?"

Xiao Huai pursed his lower lip, glanced sideways at Tang Shuyi, seeing her expression of wanting to hear gossip, couldn't help being amused.However, this is not something that cannot be said.

He said: "The fifth princess of the Rouli Kingdom is very much loved by the emperor of the Rouli Kingdom, and she does things arrogantly and without any scruples. She also likes male sex, and there are many capitals in the house.

Two years ago, Xie Liu traveled to Rouli country and was spotted by the five princesses.The fifth princess first seduced her with money and power, but Xie Liu was unmoved.In the end, the fifth princess got angry and took Xie Liu captive.Later, I learned that he was from the Xie family, so I locked him in the dungeon..."

It was difficult for him to say what to say next, but Tang Shuyi looked at him eagerly, looking very interested.Xiao Huai hesitated for a moment, but still said: "The fifth princess locked Xie Liu in the dungeon, used some anti-excitement drugs, and then..."

Then he stopped talking, and Tang Shuyi understood what it meant.These five princesses are really cruel.

"Then how did the Duke save Xie Liu?" Tang Shuyi asked.

Xiao Huai lowered his eyes, and then said: "At that time I was still in the army of Rouli, and once I went to Rouli to do business, but was bumped into by the five princesses, and was... taken captive."

Although Tang Shuyi thought that this might be the case, when she actually heard it, she was quite surprised and opened her mouth in shock.

Seeing this, Xiao Huai immediately said: "However, I escaped with Xie Liu the night I was taken into captivity. It happened that I got what I needed from the Rouli army, so I took Xie Liu and fled back to the Northwest Army."

His words seemed to be explaining that he had nothing to do with the five princesses.But he didn't need to explain the relationship between the two of them.

"My lord is astute," Tang Shuyi said.

Xiao Huai was indeed explaining just now, he can't make people doubt about things that don't exist!Besides, that girl Yuzhu threatened him just now.

"It's just a helpless move." Xiao Huai said.
