"Mother, why? Doesn't she just want my second sister to only see you and me and not enter other courtyards?" Xie Tingting only knew that what Old Lady Xie said was not a good thing.

"Your grandmother is planning to divorce me! Your second sister can indeed see you and me, there is no need to enter the Xie Mansion!"

After Xu said this, Xie Tingting also turned pale.

There is no way my second sister can enter the Xie Mansion again!

If they continue to make trouble and stand up for their second sister, then their mother, her, and the Xie family will abandon them! !

Does Xu's divorce mean that after she was taken away to the Prince's Mansion, she would no longer receive any support from the Xie Mansion?

Without the Xie family behind her, she, the prince's concubine, would be worse than an ant.

Grandma is so cruel!

Tiffany Xie immediately understood the interests involved.

She looked at the maids Caiwei and Cailan standing outside the door, and suddenly stood up and cried, "Mother, you always say that grandma favors the eldest sister, but aren't you partial to the second sister?"

Xu was stunned for a moment: "Tingting..."

Xie Tingting left Xu's yard and stood at the door crying, "How many times has my second sister disrespected my eldest sister? Isn't it you who instigated it? I am young and you are my mother. I am powerless to refuse you, but that doesn't mean I can't tell right from wrong!"

Xu was stunned.

Caiwei and Cailan saw that she was crying so hard and were a little unsure what it meant, so they quickly tried to persuade her not to cry, saying that crying on New Year's Day was unlucky.

Tiffany Hsieh wiped her tears and said, "Indeed, my elder sister came back to her parents' home today, and I cried so much that it was really inappropriate for my elder sister to see me."

After wiping away her tears, she said to Xu: "I am also your biological daughter, but for the sake of my second sister, you never considered my future. Mother, since you are stubborn and stubborn, I will draw a clear line between us from now on."

I went to Wutong Garden with Caiwei and Cailan.

The women were having dinner, so she went in, smiled, and came to Xie Zhaozhao's side and said, "Eldest sister, can you stay in the mansion for two more days? There's a troupe performing in the mansion these two days."

Seeing that there were still some traces of tears on her face, Xie Zhaozhao asked Yuanyuan to get a hot towel to wipe her face, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with you? Have you eaten yet?"

"Eldest sister is still the best... Tingting misses elder sister." Xie Tingting was about to cry, but she didn't dare to. With red eyes, she smiled and said, "I am happy to see elder sister...Eldest sister, I was ignorant before, and I listened to you when you disciplined me."

Xie Zhaozhao patted her hands and smiled faintly.

Tiffany Xie's attitude shows that she is ready to give up Xiangxiang Xie.

Madam Xie said, "Find a seat and have a good meal. Your elder sister also wants to eat. Don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping."

Tiffany Xie hummed and apologized, then hurriedly went to sit somewhere else.

Mrs. Xie Er and Mrs. Xie San were extremely happy and came to accompany Xie Zhaozhao.

"Zhao Zhao, the salt well you helped your second uncle negotiate was a great help. You don't know that the original salt tax revenue from this item was only 800,000 strings of cash a year. How much will your second uncle earn from taking over your salt well? Based on the business in the past few months, this item alone can bring in 12 million strings of cash a year."

The revenue of the national treasury can be increased by 10 million guan, which is half of the total revenue.

"Your second uncle was originally a fifth-rank judge. He was promoted to the fifth rank after this assessment. It has only been a few months and he has been promoted! Your second uncle was so happy that he couldn't sleep. He said that if you raise a daughter, you should raise one like our eldest daughter."

Madam Xie thought about it and realized that their second branch had always followed Xie Zhaozhao's lead for generations.

Madam Xie smiled and said, "Of course you are happy. An Huai is now favored by His Majesty, and Xie Jue has entered the Palace Front Department. You should be happy secretly!"

Mrs. Xie San also tried to curry favor with her. Xie Xiuxiu was almost fourteen years old, and Xie Lang was twelve years old. Whether they were seeking marriage or studying, they could not do without Xie Zhaozhao's support.

After lunch, Xie Zhaozhao said to Mrs. Xie: "I have some things that I need my second brother to do. Can you rest assured, second aunt?"

Upon hearing this, Second Madam Xie was extremely excited and expressed her opinion directly: "You can send him away as you like. You don't have to worry about our opinions. I agree with everything, and your second uncle will definitely agree with everything too."

"Then ask your second brother to come over."

Madam Xie asked the servant to check on the male guests. Xie Jue came over soon. Xie Zhaozhao said to him, "Swap your job at the Palace Front Office with someone else these few days. I have something for you to do."

Xie Jue was so happy that he didn't ask anything and agreed without hesitation, just like Second Madam Xie.

That night, Xie Zhaozhao, Gu Chongjin, Yin Jinan and Li Yunmu met at Yuehu Garden.

Afterwards, Yunyang, Yunyuan, Yunxiao, together with Xie Jiuliang who had come back to celebrate the New Year, took Gu Chongjin and Xie Jue and left the capital on fast horses.

Although the New Year had passed, the weather in the capital was still very cold. When Gu Chongjin and his companions left the capital, snowflakes began to fall from the sky again.

After those people left, Xie Zhaozhao walked out of Yuehu Garden. A severe cold swept across the entire Daqian. Among the white snow, plum blossoms dotted red, decorating the entire Yuehu Garden.

Inadvertently, she saw Gu Shaoyu waiting for her at the garden gate. He drank a little too much at the lunch at Xie's house, and his fair face was still pink.

Under the tall sycamore tree that had lost all its leaves, next to a large bush, the man gave people the feeling of a child waiting for his mother to come home, or a puppy waiting for his owner who was ignorant of the sufferings of the world. He looked eagerly in one direction, his clear eyes pure without a trace of distracting thoughts or vulgarity.

Xie Zhaozhao couldn't help laughing again when he saw a layer of snow on his body.

"Why are you standing here?"

"Wait for you!"

"Why don't you go in?"

"You didn't ask me to come in." His voice was a little aggrieved, "I was afraid of delaying your work."

Xie Zhaozhao didn't say anything else and held his hand. Fortunately, it wasn't very cold.

Yuanyuanmanman immediately asked someone to drive the carriage out, watched the masters get in the carriage, and then got on the next one.

"Zhao Zhao, I feel a little dizzy." Gu Shaoyu leaned on her after getting in the car, "My father-in-law and my brother forced me to drink."

"Drank too much?"

"A bit much."

"Didn't you ask Nanxing to take you back early?" Xie Zhaozhao wiped his face with a hot towel, "It's getting dark, let's go back quickly."

When the two entered the mansion, Zhang Qing immediately sent someone to report to Mrs. Tu and the old lady.

Taxue came over and said to Xie Zhaozhao and Gu Shaoyu: "The old lady wants to see you."

Xie Zhaozhao said: "The elder has drunk too much, I will send him back to Qingpu Courtyard first."

Gu Shaoyu had already stopped, his eyes sharp and cold, and asked Taxue: "What's the matter?"

"Reporting to the Lord, the old lady wants to ask about the Crown Prince's wife." Taxue was so scared that his body was shaking a little. What a shame, the old lady always bothers the Lord for no reason. It's so scary!

"Ask her in person!"

Taxue looked at Xie Zhaozhao, who was not polite and said, "Do as the elder says. We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything else."

After sending Taxue away, Nanxing said that the hot water had been boiled in the kitchen and the elder and his wife could take a bath.

Xie Zhaozhao originally thought that she was taking a bath in a big bathtub, but unexpectedly, they were using hot water boiled in the swimming pool. It turned out that there was floor heating at the bottom of the swimming pool.

The light shone softly on him, and he took off layer of robes, revealing his strong chest and lean waist and abdomen, and every muscle was full of strength.

He swam back and forth in the pool happily for a few times, then held out his hand to her: "Come down."

He is still the domineering Lord Gu.
