Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Xie Jin was twelve years old. He had been with Old Madam Xie for half a year and was much calmer than before. When he saw Xie Zhaozhao, he bowed respectfully and said, "Happy New Year, elder sister."

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and nodded: "I heard that you have made progress in your studies. I got a set of travel notes, which are a collection of travel notes of emperors since the Zhou Dynasty. I will give them to you later."

This is a set of newly printed and published books. As soon as it was released on the market, it was snapped up and became a best-selling book.

Upon hearing this, Xie Jin said excitedly, "Thank you, elder sister."

Seeing him jumping out, Old Madam Xie sneered and said, "Xu thought that since Xie Tingting became the prince's concubine, she could control the Xie Mansion."

Xie Zhaozhao smiled lightly and said, "Grandmother, His Majesty told me a few days ago that the people in the Imperial City Department discovered that my stepmother and the Empress had an unusual relationship."

Madam Xie's expression suddenly changed, and she paused while holding the Buddhist beads: "Your Majesty, did you really say that?"

Xie Zhaozhao nodded seriously: "His Majesty said that although the number of times was not large, he had summoned her alone several times in recent years."

Madam Xie is not an ordinary old lady, so she naturally understands the weight of these words.

"Zhao Zhao, why does His Majesty tell you such a thing?"

"I went to visit my aunt, and the Empress summoned me to speak, saying that she had a very close relationship with my mother when she was alive, and Your Majesty said this."

Madam Xie held the Buddhist beads and said, "Your Majesty is right. Your mother (Xu Zhiyan) is not close to the Empress."

Xie Zhaozhao lowered her eyelashes and said nothing more.

She knew that because of her words, her stepmother Xu became an abandoned child in the Xie family.

The mistress of the Xie Mansion turned out to be the confidant of Queen Wei. How could the Xie Mansion possibly accommodate her?

In the previous life, my stepmother was able to steal the letter and give it to Gu Chengyan. In this life, even though I have told my brother, there is no guarantee that my stepmother will not do anything else.

The best way is for this person to disappear from Xie Mansion.

Either die or be expelled from the house.

Madam Xie said, "It's not worth worrying about their affairs. But there is something else I want to tell you."

Madam Xie was talking about the marriage with Prince Jing's palace.

"Yesterday, on the first day of the Chinese New Year, the Princess of Kang County came to the mansion to pay New Year's greetings. She said that Princess Changping would be seventeen years old in the new year, and the Princess had taken a liking to your brother. She mentioned it to me and said that the two of you are four years apart in age, and your zodiac signs are very compatible. Princess Changping is famous for her ability, and her age is also suitable. What do you think?"

Xie Zhaozhao said happily, "Grandma, to be honest, I had this idea when I went to the Huguo Temple to burn incense a few years ago, but I was thinking of the Fourth Miss Liu at the time. After all, Elder Liu is a man of integrity and has a good family tradition. But that day I changed my mind. For a mansion like ours, a capable mistress can better prosper the family."

Old Madam Xie said that she shared the same opinion and had discussed it with Xie Anfeng. She felt that it was a great idea for Prince Jing's Mansion to take the initiative to propose a marriage.

"But when I mentioned it to your aunt, she didn't agree."

Madam Xie said with some regret, "Noble Concubine Xi said that our marriage with Prince Jing's mansion would arouse suspicion from above."

In order to maintain stability, the Xie family has not been very selective in choosing marriage partners for the siblings Xie Yu and Xie Zhaozhao over the years. If the match was too good, they would be afraid of the higher-ups, while if the match was too bad, they would feel that they were mistreating their children.

"Grandmother, if my brother were to marry Liu Yiyi or Zhang Yanyan, it would really make His Majesty wary. However, Princess Changping is from the royal family, and her grandfather, Prince Jing, is Your Majesty's uncle and is the most loyal to Your Majesty."

Xie Zhaozhao whispered, "Grandmother, as long as the Wei family gains power and the prince takes the throne, no matter who marries us, the consequences will be the same..."

In the previous life, Xu stole the letter and gave it to Xie Xiangxiang, who gave it to Gu Chengyan, who then gave it to the Crown Prince (Emperor Xiao). The first family to be exterminated was none other than Prince Jing's Mansion, followed by the Xie Mansion and the Liu Mansion.

All this was not seen by Xie Xiangxiang, the short-lived ghost who was fighting with his concubine.

Old Madam Xie dismissed her attendants and exchanged opinions with Xie Zhaozhao in a low voice.

Xie Zhaozhao came to the mansion as a guest today. In addition to preparing the best banquet, the Xie family also followed the rules and invited all the brothers in the clan to come and drink with him.

Uncle Xie is a sly guy to begin with, so how could he be absent from such an occasion?

He alone can defeat the group of young men from the Gu family who are carrying gift boxes.

The luncheon was in full swing when Ying Er suddenly came to report, "Madam, Aunt Jinge from the Queen's service is here."

Mrs. Xie calmly took the hot towel and wiped her hands, saying, "I'll go take a look."

She told Xie Zhaozhao to continue eating and she would be back soon.

Madam Xie sneered. Some people are courting death and it is impossible to stop them.

She greeted Xie Zhaozhao warmly and said, "Miss, please eat it while it's hot. If you eat it cold, your stomach will feel uncomfortable."

The old lady went to the outer courtyard and invited Jin Ge to the flower hall, asking her to sit down. Xu and Xie Tingting also followed in.

"Aunt Jinge, what is the Queen's order?"

"Madam, there is no imperial decree," Jin Ge said politely, "The Queen heard that Second Miss Xie was not allowed to enter the house, and Third Miss Xie was very sad, so she sent me to come and see her. Young people always make mistakes, Madam, please forgive Second Miss!"

"I'm sorry that Her Majesty has been worried about such a small matter in the mansion. I feel uneasy." Old Madam Xie sighed and said, "There is no discrimination in the mansion. Not to mention suppressing legitimate sons and daughters, even illegitimate sons and daughters have never been suppressed in the mansion. Although the fingers are unusually long, they are connected to the heart. Which one would not hurt? Which one would not be loved?"

"Yes, they are all my granddaughters. Look, old lady, if the second young lady is not allowed to enter the house on the day of the wedding, how will she live in the Pingyang Marquis's mansion in the future? Old lady is kind-hearted. Even if there were some conflicts in the past, how can mother and daughter hold grudges overnight?"

Jin Ge praised and pressed, "After all, the Second Miss is the biological sister of the Crown Prince's concubine. The old lady should let them reunite as mother and daughter, sisters!"

The old lady looked at Xu's cautious expression, and Xie Tingting was also very nervous and annoyed.

Then he smiled and asked Jinge: "Aunt Jinge, do you know what the second young lady did?"

Xu did tell the Queen about the poisoning of the Fifth Young Master, but she put the blame on the dead maid, Lvyi, and said that Old Madam Xie and Xie Anfeng deliberately stepped on their own daughter in order to elevate Xie Zhaozhao.

Madam Xie looked at Xu, sneered, and said, "Xu, you are really capable. You did a great job of confusing right and wrong."

Mrs. Xu immediately knelt down and said, "I am terrified. The second young lady did make a mistake, but she just didn't expose it. She doesn't deserve such a severe punishment."

Old Madam Xie simply told Jin Ge everything that happened that day, even what Xie Tingting had done, she told Jin Ge without hesitation.

Xu and Xie Tingting didn't expect that Old Madam Xie didn't show them any mercy at all, and their faces turned pale.

"The Xie family dares not disobey the Queen Mother's decree. From today on, you can ask the wife of the Prince of Pingyang to visit her mother and sister." Old Madam Xie smiled and said to Jinge, "Aunt Jinge, you have made a trip in such a cold weather."

He signaled to Ying'er with his eyes, and Ying'er immediately gave a big purse to Jin Ge.

After Jin Ge delivered her message, Ying'er escorted her out of Xie's house.

After getting on the carriage at the gate of Xie's house, Jin Ge opened the brocade bag and found a silver note of one hundred taels. Thinking of Xu and Xie Tingting, she shook her head.

Mrs. Xie was supported by Ying'er and returned to Wutong Garden. Xie Tingting clenched her fists and asked Mrs. Xu in panic, "Mother, what are you going to do?"

Xu scratched her palms with her fingers and said with a gloomy face, "Tingting, what did the old lady just say?"

"Grandmother said that the wife of the Marquis of Pingyang could be asked to visit her mother and sister... Mother, does she mean that only my sister is allowed to come and see you and me?"

"Tingting, the old lady is too cruel, really too cruel!" Xu burst into tears.

"Tingting, don't worry about your second sister. I'm going to go and plead guilty to the old lady. You, you must kneel down and beg your eldest sister for protection!"
