Xie Huaiyu's attitude surprised both Luluo and Butler He.

Butler He narrowed his eyes and glanced at Xie Huaiyu, hesitating a bit.

It is said that ordinary people have long been terrified when they receive this kind of news.But Xie Huaiyu had a calm face, as if there was no such child.

Is the news wrong?Looking at Young Master Xie's reticent appearance, it seems that he is not afraid at all.

But before he could think about it, an extremely beautiful brother came out with a little doll in his arms.

Seeing the scene in the hall, she seemed to be taken aback, and said in a trembling voice, "This... Eldest Young Master... What did Luluo do?"

Butler He looked at the child in his hand, it looked like a kitten, but it was only over a month old.

But between his eyebrows and eyes, he was already very similar to the old uncle, at first glance he was from the Xie family!

Butler He is relieved now!It seems that Mr. Xie is just a bluff, he is really very cunning!Almost coaxed him over!

When Butler He came, Xiaoshu had already sent servants to report to Baiyu Villa.

When Bai Shu arrived at Xie's house, she saw Lin Shuyu coming out of the backyard with the child in her arms, and Xie Huaiyu standing beside her, about to get into the carriage.

Although Xie Huaiyu knew that the Lou family would make a big fuss this time, he did not expect that it would be brought up in front of the emperor.

Therefore, Steward He brought someone so suddenly that he didn't even have time to stay.

Seeing Bai Shu standing at the door from a distance, Xie Huaiyu nodded towards him, and then said to Guanjia He: "This is the owner of Baiyu Villa, let me explain to him."

Steward He glanced at Bai Shu, and saw that although he was a brother, he was tall and tall, and looked like a man, so he never thought that Xie Huaiyu would have anything to do with him.

He only thought that he had some business dealings with Xie Huaiyu, so he nodded and followed him.

Due to the rush of time, the servant who went to find Baishu couldn't explain anything.

So Bai Shu only heard that Xie Huaiyu was going back to Beijing soon, but didn't know what was going on with him.

In front of Butler He, Xie Huaiyu couldn't say much.

He only walked up to Bai Shu, bowed to him solemnly, and said, "Xie will go to the capital for at least half a month. During this period, the business of Baiyu Villa will be entrusted to Brother Bai to take care of it. If you have any questions, please go to Qi Shoubing of the Jingjiao Guards, you can discuss with him if you have anything to do."

When had Bai Shu ever seen Xie Huaiyu talk to him like this?My heart trembled, I just felt that there must be nothing good for Xie Huaiyu's return to Beijing this time.

Seeing the worry in Bai Shu's eyes, Xie Huaiyu smiled, patted his hand very quickly and said: "Brother Bai, wait for me, Xie will definitely come back safely."

Xie Huaiyu's clapping movements are often seen among ordinary friends.

Therefore, although Bai Shu is a brother, Butler He never thought of him in that direction.

Bai Shuyin resisted his impulse and did not step forward.

Watching Xie Huaiyu leave, she got into the carriage with Lin Shuyu who was holding the child.

The carriages made by the masters went first, and Steward He and other followers also followed.

The carriage drove away slowly, Xiao Shu was carrying a burden on his back, pulled Bai Shu aside and said softly: "Brother Bai, the young master really has nothing to do with Lin Shuyu, you have to trust him!"

Bai Shu knew that Xiaoshu was worried that he would be suspicious of Xie Huaiyu and make his master sad.Then he nodded and said: "I know, don't worry. You must take good care of your young master when you return to Beijing this time."

After that, he bid farewell to Xiaoshu again, and watched him get into the carriage behind and leave.

Watching the convoy drive away from Xie's house, going farther and farther.Bai Shu turned and left until the vehicle became a small dot and could no longer be seen.

This was the first time he had been separated from Xie Huaiyu for so long since he came to Daxuan, and he felt a sense of loss.I don't know what will happen to Xie Huaiyu when he returns to Beijing this time, but don't let those people from Xie's family make things difficult for him again.

In the capital city, in the Xie Mansion.

Grandpa Xie flipped the teacup on the table with his sleeve: "This tea is cold, yet you dare to bring it up! Are you trying to mock me for leaving the tea cold?"

"My lord, please forgive me! This servant will not dare!" The servant girl serving tea knelt on the ground and shivered.

The excellent Biluochun brewed in the bottle, because Lord Xie was losing his temper and kept discussing things with the members of Xie's family, so he kept it in his hand and dared not give it away.

After Lord Xie saw off the Xie family members and came to drink tea, the tea was already lukewarm.

"Bold servant girl, drag me down to beat twenty boards." Lord Xie roared angrily, pointing at the maidservant and said.

Four tall servants came up and dragged the maid down.

"My master spared me, my master spared me!" The maid cried miserably.

Twenty boards down, although it won't kill people, but it is inevitable that the skin will be bruised. Later, they will be sent to the outer courtyard to do some rough work of cleaning, and they will no longer be able to enter the inner courtyard to serve.

"Master, don't get so angry." Lou came in from the door at some point, holding a cup of hot tea at just the right temperature in his hand.

She is dressed plainly today, in a blue and dark floral dress.He took off all the gold and silver jewelry on his head, and only wore a South Sea pearl hairpin.A bright pearl on the hairpin swayed gently with her steps, adding a touch of delicate beauty to her.

Although Sir Xie was really angry, but facing such a gentle beauty, his anger dissipated a little.

Lou lifted the lid of the cup and served the tea to Lord Xie's mouth with his own hands.

The tea was fragrant and fragrant, Sir Xie took a few sips before sitting back on the grand master's chair.

Lou smiled again and put the teacup on the table.Gently patted Lord Xie on the shoulder and said: "The other things are trivial matters, only the master's body is a major matter. Even if the master is not thinking about himself, he should think about Cai Ting and the baby."

This sentence is really ironic.After hearing this, Sir Xie looked at his wife who was the second wife.

He looked carefully, and saw that although the other party was not confused, he was still beautiful and pleasant, and he was well maintained like a young woman at 26.He is always so gentle and considerate, which really makes him very fond of.

In the early days, because of Lou's son Xie Qi's stubbornness, he was also somewhat dissatisfied with her.

But looking at it now, compared to Xie Huaiyu's unworthy son, Xie Qi is just a teenager by nature, after all, she didn't cause any major disasters.

"My lord, I don't know how the Xie family will deal with this matter?" Lou looked at Mr. Xie and asked.

Seeing Mr. Xie raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were full of scrutiny, Lou immediately said: "You can't blame Yu'er for this matter. After all, he is a man, and he was tempted by that beautiful brother to do such a thing." Confused. After all, he is the eldest son of the Xie family, so we should cover him up a bit."

It's good that Lou didn't mention the eldest son, but the mention of the eldest son made Sir Xie even more angry.

The anger he had finally dissipated was ignited by Lou Shi like a firecracker, and he slapped the table and said, "What an eldest son! It would be fine if he wasn't the eldest son, then Crazy Liu can't attack me like this! I It looks like Xie Huaiyu doesn't regard himself as a descendant of the Xie family at all! Otherwise, how could he do such indecent things during the filial piety?"

"Actually, the publicized filial piety is just a saying. The custom is so strict, and it is not true that everyone will abide by it. But now..." Lou said softly, his eyelashes twitching slightly: "I don't know what is happening now. I went to the Holy One. There are a thousand pairs of eyes staring at us. Even if we have the heart to deal with it, we really can't find a chance..."

Lou frowned and shook his head as he spoke.Grandpa Xie also narrowed his eyes, twitched the corners of his eyes and said ruthlessly: "Now I can't stop it, so I can only abandon the car to protect the handsome. When I get to the emperor, I can only kill my relatives righteously, and take Xie Huaiyu, an unfilial son, to death. Drive out of Xie's house and use the lintel of the front door!"

"This..." Mrs. Lou glanced at Mr. Xie, with an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth: "Master, you did this as a last resort. I believe this child, Yu'er, will understand your painstaking efforts."

Xie's backyard...

Xie Ling's maid put a pile of gray clothes on the table, turned towards Xie Lingfu and said: "Master Ling, the material you asked for is already gone in the storeroom. Now there are only some old materials from last year. Use these materials to make clothes."

Xie Ling touched the fabrics and said they were old fabrics from last year, but they were either gray, ochre, or gaudy patterns, and they had been overstocked for a long time and no one wanted them.

Look at what the maid is wearing, but it is this year's new pretty material, which complements the two beautiful maids even more like flowers and jade.

Xie Ling secretly clenched his fists and swallowed the breath in his chest.

At his age like a flower, he is naturally not suitable for these dark materials.But now the matter of his elder brother Xie Huaiyu was making a fuss, and he followed suit from Lord Xie.

Those servants who were considered polite in the past all bowed down and trampled on the low ones, adding insult to injury.

Xie Ling is also soft-tempered and doesn't know how to restrain them.Now in his own courtyard, he was actually being controlled by these maids and servants.

"Since Curry doesn't have any, let's go out and buy some," Xie Ling said.

He still has some money in his private treasury, which was left to him by Xie Huaiyu when he came back.

The two maids looked at each other, and one raised her eyebrows and said, "Yes. Since Young Master Ling still has private money, let's go outside to buy and sell it."

"By the way..." another maid said: "Since we are going out to buy and sell, we can't just buy clothes. We need to buy tea, snacks, needlework, spices and charcoal in the house. Now because of the young master, the master has been fined by the emperor, and all these things in our courtyard are gone."

"Then let's buy it together." Xie Ling smiled slightly, turned around, but gritted his teeth.

These two servant girls were too deceitful, and when they heard that he had money, they thought of ways to search for it.

But even though he was angry, he just thought about it and didn't dare to do anything.This maid was sent by his stepmother, Lou Shi, and he was afraid of Lou Shi, so he could only support the two of them.

In the final analysis, this matter is still not good for my elder brother.If it wasn't for his misbehavior, a child would have been produced during the filial piety.How could his father be involved by his opponent? He is not in such a situation now.

In the palace, after the court.

After finally recovering his position, Zhao Yan walked up to Zhao Liang and walked side by side with him.

"Brother, I thought you always hated me, why are you interested in walking with me today?" Zhao Liang asked with a smile.

"Second brother." Zhao Yan chuckled, and said with a very happy face: "I recently heard a rumor about your best friend Xie Huaiyu."

When Zhao Liang heard this, he stopped, turned around and looked at Zhao Yan, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"I heard that this Xie Huaiyu is really Meng Lang. He obviously went to the countryside to keep his filial piety, but he got involved with a young man and gave birth to a son." Zhao Yan rolled his eyes and said gloatingly: " Tsk tsk. It seems like birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups. He usually has a hypocritical face of a gentleman, but once he leaves the capital, he loses his restraint."

Hearing this, Zhao Liang smiled coldly, put his hands behind his back and said, "These news are just rumors, there is no definite news. Brother Ruishi is a gentleman, and he is the eldest son of Uncle Xie. It is unworthy to do such things. Please Your Highness, don't listen to rumors."

Zhao Liang said these words in a loud voice, and the words were sonorous and forceful, so many courtiers nearby could hear them.

Zhao Yan was even more unhappy when he saw it, thinking that Zhao Liang could really pretend.

His good friend made a big mess, causing the emperor to have prejudice against him, and Zhao Liang is still putting on airs here.

"The eldest son of the Xie family?" Zhao Yan said sarcastically, "When he returns to Beijing and meets his father, it doesn't matter if he is from the Xie family, so let's not talk about the eldest son."

Hearing this, Zhao Liang said solemnly: "Brother Huang, Brother Ruishi is an upright person, he is not the one rumored in the market. Instead, you are always with the second son of the Xie family, Xie Qi. That Xie Qi is a famous libertine, It’s unbearable to use, it’s better to have less contact! It’s also lest others will say that like attracts like.”

"You!" Zhao Yan was very angry, and wanted to say goodbye to Zhao Liang.

Zhao Liang turned around and left with his head held high, only showing him his back.

Behind Zhao Yan, his followers came up to him and said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry, this Zhao Liang is just bluffing. Who doesn't know that he played well with that Xie Huaiyu, but now that Xie Huaiyu has collapsed, his hands If the power of the government is going to be reduced by another point, he will insist on it."

"Then Xie Huaiyu and him are of the same breed." Zhao Yan said: "Now that he can't stand up completely, I feel very happy. In the current situation, the Xie family's title must be inherited by Xie Qi. I am both If you want to win Xie Qi over, it's better to give him something sweet, so that he can secure the title of the Xie family."

When he entered the palace again, Zhao Yan deliberately praised Xie Qi in front of the emperor.It is said that although he had a youthful spirit before and lost the small details, he was a late bloomer, and he was unequivocal in this big section.

Xie Qi was famous outside, and the emperor didn't have a good impression of him at first.But with Xie Huaiyu's comparison, he also said: "Xie Qi's son, it is indeed true."

This neutral comment made everyone feel that Xie Qi's situation was settled, and everyone stopped calling him Young Master Qi, and called him Young Master.

Just when Xie Qi swelled to its peak, Xie Huaiyu's carriage team arrived near the capital.

This is a county town half a day away from the capital, if you continue on your way, you can return to the capital at five o'clock in the evening.

"Housekeeper He, Shu Yu and the child can't stand the bumps. Let's not hurry today, rest in the restaurant here overnight, and leave tomorrow." Xie Huaiyu suddenly asked the driver to stop the carriage and got out of the carriage and said.

"This..." Butler He hesitated, but when he heard the child in the carriage crying loudly, without stopping for a long time, he nodded and agreed.

The distance from Baitang Village to the capital would take less than three days if you walked slowly on weekdays.But this Young Master Xie dragged his wife and young son along for five days.

Butler He felt that Xie Huaiyu probably wanted to delay time, but the child was indeed very young, but he had just reached the full moon, so he couldn't bear the bumps.

If he insists on moving forward, the child will be gone.If Xie Huaiyu refused to admit it, wouldn't the ironclad evidence be gone?

Butler He thought about it, and followed Xie Huaiyu's thoughts, resting all the way.

Anyway, no matter how late he is, he will always go to the capital, it's just the difference between tonight and tomorrow morning.

Xie's motorcade stopped in the county, and found the branch of Laifulou to live in.

After arriving at the restaurant, the shopkeeper took them into his room one by one.

Xie Huaiyu and Lin Shuyu were taken by the shopkeeper into an upper room in the backyard.

He asked Xiao Shu to guard the door, and once he entered the room, he closed the door.

Immediately someone walked out from behind the screen in this room, it was Qi Shoubei Qi Qinyue who was supposed to be on duty in the suburbs of Beijing.

"Ziyun." Xie Huaiyu cupped his hands at him.

Qi Qinyue glanced at Xie Huaiyu and Lin Shuyu beside him, and said playfully, "Why did you take so long to arrive?"

"If you walk in a hurry and stop suddenly at the outskirts of Beijing, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of Steward He." Xie Huaiyu said: "I deliberately walked all the way slowly. Steward He is used to it, so he never doubted me. .”

Lin Shuyu hugged the child and sat down at the table.The child was pinched by his thigh just now and cried for a while, but now he was tired from crying and fell asleep.

When Qi Qinyue saw her, she looked at the child curiously.He only glanced at the child, then clicked his tongue and said, "This child looks exactly like your good brother. Then Steward He didn't doubt it when he saw it."

"He also looks like Lord Xie." Xie Huaiyu said, with a trace of helplessness on his face.

Lin Shuyu hugged the child and listened to the two talking in front of him, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

Although he knew that his child was born, there would be such a day.But never thought that this matter would be so big that even the emperor knew about it.

This child looks like Xie Qi, and looks nothing like him.But mother and child are connected, and when he sees this child, he loves it very much.Now he is even more afraid of hurting the child because of this power struggle.

He knew the conflict between Xie Huaiyu and Xie Qi, and also knew that if Xie Qi gained power, he and the child would definitely not survive if they fell into the hands of Nalou.

But Xie Huaiyu hates Xie Qi, this child is of Xie Qi's flesh and blood, and looks so similar to Xie Qi.Lin Shuyu's heart trembled...

I don't know how Xie Huaiyu will treat this child after these incidents are over.

Now, taking advantage of this moment, Lin Shuyu hugged the child, gritted his teeth, and suddenly knelt down in front of Xie Huaiyu, Lihua said with rain, "Young Master, it doesn't matter what happens to me alone. But this child... just please Do a good job and keep him safe for life."

Before this incident, Xie Huaiyu promised to give Lin Shuyu and the child a way out.Seeing Lin Shuyu's actions, she couldn't trust him, so she had to confirm it again.

Xie Huaiyu originally hated Lin Shuyu, a person with evil intentions.But now that he has given birth to a child, probably because of motherhood, he seems to be a different person.This request is really sincere.

Xie Huaiyu is not the kind of person who wants to make trouble with a young son.Lin Shuyu and this child's life, he has already made arrangements.

Seeing Lin Shuyu's pleading, Xie Huaiyu didn't intend to say much, but said, "Don't worry, I won't break my promise to Xie Huaiyu."

Lin Shuyu felt relieved, and sat back at the table with the child in her arms.

Looking at Xie Huaiyu again, he felt that in the situation just now, he never looked at himself more, his eyes were as light as bamboo.

But such a person just likes a little brother like Bai Shu...

For a moment, he couldn't help being very envious, and felt that there was no luckier person in the world than Bai Shu.

Xie Huaiyu discussed with Qi Qinyue and agreed on the time when he would enter the palace.

In order to prevent the night from having many dreams, what did Lou see.The two agreed to go directly to the palace tomorrow morning, catching Nalou by surprise.

After the discussion between the two was over, Qi Qinyue left through a secret door behind the screen and brought the news to Zhong Li.

And Xie Huaiyu also left this room with him, let Lin Shuyu and the child live in it, and went to find another upper room to live in.

·

The next day, Xie Huaiyu returned to Lin Shuyu's room and came out with him.

Under the supervision of Steward He, the convoy set off and arrived in the capital before Si Shi.

As soon as the vehicle entered the capital, Xie Huaiyu suddenly said: "If the emperor summons you, then don't delay and go directly to the palace.

Housekeeper He was taken aback for a moment, wondering what Xie Huaiyu's intention was.

According to Lou's intention, Xie Huaiyu and the child should be brought home this time, and after disposing of it, they will go to the emperor to talk about it together.

But looking at the meaning of the young master now, he didn't go back to Xie's house, but went directly to the palace?

Butler He thought of this journey, Xie Huaiyu often procrastinated, but now that he arrived in Beijing, he couldn't wait to enter the palace.I just feel that there is a difference.

But now that there are witnesses and witnesses, the child cannot escape.For a while, he couldn't figure out what Xie Huaiyu meant.

"Young master, I'm afraid it's not good for you to enter the palace alone, you'd better go back to Xie's house and be with the lord..." Butler He said.

"What's the matter, is it possible that the emperor has to wait for my father and me?" Xie Huaiyu said, "When I enter the palace, you can report back to your father and let him come here right away."

Butler He was choked by Xie Huaiyu, and he couldn't refute it, so he couldn't say that it doesn't matter if the emperor waits.

He watched Xie Huaiyu enter the palace, and immediately set off for Xie's house.

He was afraid that Xie Huaiyu would enter the palace early and say something in front of the emperor, which would ruin Lou's and the master's reputation.

I have to go back immediately and let Lord Xie rush to face the saint.

Inside the palace, Xie Huaiyu reported his identity and purpose of coming, and was taken to the palace by the palace staff.

Lin Shuyu hugged the child and followed beside her, bowed her head in silence, nervous all over.

The emperor saw him this time, because it was a subject's family matter, so he was not in the main hall, but in the imperial study.

Xie Huaiyu walked in with a calm face, and brought Lin Shuyu to bow to the emperor, kneeling down for a whole moment.

The emperor didn't raise his head, he just looked down at the memorial in his hand.It wasn't until the baby in Lin Shuyu's hand woke up and cried out loudly that he quietly raised his head.

He looked deeply at Xie Huaiyu, who was kneeling on the ground but still had his back straight, and said, "Master Xie, do you know what mistake you made?"

"The grassroots are terrified, and they don't know what's wrong with them." Xie Huaiyu heard the words and said, he raised his head to meet the emperor's eyes, his expression was clear, and his voice was clear and powerful.

The emperor saw that he was as tall as a bamboo and a pine, with a hint of arrogance in his brows, and he didn't look like a person who was obsessed with beauty.

For such a man of character, the emperor felt that he was out of integrity, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was indeed a good skin.

He had already heard about the eldest son of the Xie family.It is said that it was born by a business woman, and her looks and knowledge are first-rate.

Although his original status and background were poor, his reputation in the capital was not bad, but now he fell on the head of a lowly brother and gave birth to an heir with him. It is really useless, what a pity .

The emperor turned his head to look at the elder brother who was kneeling next to him, and saw that he was very beautiful, but he was a bit prettier than ordinary women, so he thought it was no wonder that he could attract people like Xie Huaiyu.

"Your Majesty, Sir Xie is seeking an audience outside." Outside the royal study, a palace servant walked into the hall to report.

The emperor frowned, since Lord Xie has also arrived, let's invite him into the hall together, so as to punish him for this matter.

After the palace servant got the order, he immediately invited Lord Xie into the palace.

When Lord Xie heard that Xie Huaiyu had gone first, he was already very angry.

Now when he saw Xie Huaiyu, the veins on his forehead were bulging, so he pointed at him and cursed: "Xie Huaiyu, you are an unfilial son. During the filial piety, you played with a servant and gave birth to an heir. You are really treasonous!"

Lord Xie had a loud voice, which caused the emperor a headache.The child was finally coaxed by Lin Shuyu, and was quarreled by Lord Xie, crying again and again.

"Father?" Xie Huaiyu raised his eyebrows when he saw Lord Xie, pretending to be surprised and said: "How could father say such things, that child is not his child's, you can't talk nonsense about such things."

"You are still sophistry!" Seeing that Xie Huaiyu refused to admit it, Lord Xie was even more annoyed. He pointed at the child in Lin Shuyu's hand on the spot and said, "The children are already here. In front of the Holy Majesty, you Say it's not yours?"

"It's precisely because Ruishi didn't dare to bully the emperor in front of the Holy Majesty, this child is really not a grassroots person." Xie Huaiyu said.

He kowtowed to the emperor again and said, "Your Majesty... Cao Min didn't want to say anything at first, but now that the dirty water is about to be dumped on my head, I have to say it."

Seeing him so calm, the emperor frowned, feeling that there was something strange about it.

He glanced at Mr. Xie next to him, and said, "Tell me, I'd like to hear your explanation for this child."

Xie Huaiyu got two points of confidence after hearing this.He raised his voice and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this brother and a beautiful maid were sent by Xie Lou, the mother of the grass people. She said that she was thinking of my hard work in the countryside, and she wanted to find two people to share my worries."

Hearing this, the emperor already narrowed his eyes, and gave Sir Xie an ambiguous look.

As a stepmother, give such a beautiful brother and maid to her stepson who is keeping a filial piety in the countryside?

The emperor was in the palace, so he knew a lot about the dirty tricks of this kind of women, and immediately he had another criticism of the gentle and virtuous wife of Xie's family in his heart.

Xie Huaiyu continued: "Because it was the mother's wish. As an heir, I can't be negligent. So I raised him in the courtyard. I never thought that after a few months, this brother suddenly became ill , I hired a doctor for her, and found out that she was pregnant. But these two people came to my Xie family, and I have never touched them..."

The author has something to say: Although children are very small, they can actually tell the general appearance.Unless parents look like husband and wife, they can recognize who they look like.Xie Huaiyu and the old sir look alike
