Lin Shu ordered people to pack things. After a little chat, the mother and daughter heard a report from someone outside saying that Mrs. Xie had come to say hello.
Lin Shuqian didn't respond for a moment. Which Lady Xie came so early?
Zhirong reminded, "it's the lady's family."
Before Lin Shuqian spoke, he heard Mrs. Lin surprised and said, "she came here so early. I'm afraid there's something wrong with her?"
Since Murong Yanwen went, Shufei has been completely ill, and people in the capital have eyes. They know that Shufei is hopeless.
Those who should take refuge in other families were not familiar with the Xie family, and some of them were contradictory. They took advantage of his Majesty's efforts to renovate the imperial court to kill the Xie family.
Now everyone in Beijing can't avoid the Xie family. It must be no good for the Xie family to come to see the Empress Dowager so early.
Mrs. Lin immediately said, "empress dowager, my concubines, mother and daughter are sitting beside me. It won't prevent you from seeing Mrs. Xie."
Lin Shuqian understood Mrs. Lin's meaning, this is to block trouble for her.
"Good." Lin Shu said with a smile, "come on, give Mrs. Lin tea."
The maid in waiting set the small tea table and the fruit tray tea. Then she invited Mrs. Xie in.
Old man Xie took his daughter-in-law into the room. They respectfully came forward and made a big courtesy.
"Get up." Lin Shuqian said.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager." When they got up, Mr. Xie saw Mrs. Lin sitting on one side.
"I've met the English duchess."
According to reason, Mrs. Xie is one generation older than Mrs. Lin. as the mother of the empress dowager, Mrs. Lin has settled down in the chair of the first lady in Beijing. No matter whose wife she is, she has to be polite to her.
There was a festival between the Xie family and Mrs. Lin. when Mrs. Lin first came to the capital, Miss Xie publicly scolded Mrs. Lin as a village girl from other places. They quarreled. Mrs. Xie also scolded Mrs. Lin in public because of her high seniority.
I didn't expect that Feng Shui would take turns and the Lin family would prosper. Now the Xie family is asking for help.
Mrs. Lin looked at Mrs. Xie and nodded slightly. She looked like I was just sitting and eating snacks when I didn't speak.
After saying hello, Mrs. Xie turned her head and said a lot of auspicious words with Lin Shuqian.
Lin Shuqian casually replied that he would not say a word more, nor would he give Mrs. Xie any chance to pick up the conversation.
Mrs. Xie was sweating. She saw that all the words she could say were finished, and she didn't get to the point.
Finally, with a horizontal heart, Mr. Xie pulled his daughter-in-law to kneel down.
Lin Shu said with a smile, "what is Mrs. Xie doing? Didn't you invite Ann when you came in? "
Lady Xie kowtowed heavily and said in a high voice, "tell the Empress Dowager that I have something to ask for."
Lin Shuqian didn't speak and gave a look to Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin immediately understood and stood up to drag Mrs. Xie.
"What is Mrs. Xie doing? If you have something to say, you can't sit down and talk about it."
Mrs. Xie broke away from Mrs. Lin's hand and knocked her head heavily.
"Empress dowager, I have something to ask for. I want to ask empress dowager for a favor." Mrs. Xie's voice was full of tears.
Since the seventh Prince died, Shufei not only collapsed, but also had some mental problems. The people in the palace would also look at the situation. In this case, no matter how much money Xie's family put in, they would not cure Shufei well.
