Xie Jingxi was not a saint, even if that person was her own mother, she wouldn't be able to tolerate it. She admitted that she had done her best for her in this life, since Lady Xu didn't like her, and suppressed the hatred she had towards her in her previous life. She pressed her hot face against the wall, thinking that since she was her own mother, she would still be able to see it.

When Lady Xu was in a daze, Xie Jingxi had helped her recuperate. When Xie Jingxi had conflicts with his aunt, she had helped her settle them, and had asked her for help every day. Even so, she still couldn't get the kindness of his mother, and she sold her off without hesitation at crucial moments.

After all, in the entire Xie Family, it was only Xie Jingyi who had taken a few steps towards treating her with sincerity. Furthermore, on this trip today, she had most likely received orders from the Lady Xu and had no choice but to do so.

Seeing that she was just laughing and not talking, Xie Jingyi knew that she did not have it in her heart that easily opened up, and did not continue to make things difficult for her, and changed the topic: "When I went back to visit Grandmother last time, I coincidentally met Fourth Brother. After not seeing her for a few months, she had grown even more.

Fourth Brother was originally going to participate in this year's Spring Festival, but his results during last year's country test weren't considered good. Even though he had passed, he wasn't confident, and thought to enter the stage again after three years. But Xie Jingxi was not stupid, and knew that it was because Xie Cen wanted to be the main examiner this year, so he purposely told him to avoid it.

Jingyu was the only son of the Xie Family, her position was one of Xie Family, so it actually had nothing to do with her, his big sister. If Xie Cen could control her marriage for the sake of his career, then calling Xie Jingyu to study for three more years was nothing.

"Jingyu's character is still unstable, training for a few more years is also good. With father watching over him, there's nothing wrong with it."

"You're right." Xie Jingyi looked at her, "If father is able to pass the main examination this year, then when he has more disciples in the future, it will be of help to Fourth Brother in the future."

So it turns out that Lady Xu had really come for this matter. Ever since Chan Er had a body that was brought up as an aunt, Lady Xu probably had no other way out, and the shivers didn't benefit her at all. She really couldn't sit still with Xie Cen at all, and after a few years, her position as the Empress Mother was almost unable to sit still.

The Lady Xu had probably heard that Gu Yun had made a huge contribution at the His Majesty's place and became the new star of the His Majesty. Maybe Gu Yun could help Gu Yun with the matter of him becoming the main examiner, but he was afraid that Xie Jingxi would hate her for not helping him, so he called Xie Jingyi over to ease the tension.

From the looks of it, Lady Xu was also someone who could yield and extend her strength. With such a relationship, when Xie Jingxi had some value to be able to use, she was truly a talented person.

Not to mention that she, Xie Jingxi, didn't have such ability, he wouldn't even have this much face. To ask his to help Xie Cen, unless she didn't want to spend the rest of her life with Gu Yun, and Gu Yun's life in exchange for future benefits, was not worth it.

Gu Yun had a deep understanding of the situation, and had his own plans. If Xie Jingxi took this little bit of kindness from him to ask for a favor from him, he might not reject her, but she would definitely look down on her.

"It's also good for Father to become the main examiner, but Jingyu's future still depends on him, and he may not be able to ask for it, but I actually don't understand any of this, and only hope that he can calm his heart and study hard, that there will be benefits in the future."

What was there that Xie Jingyi didn't understand? It was as if she had seen through her intention to come, and she tactfully rejected him, as she already knew that her mother was going to lose all hope, but she did not have the means to come over. Even if she failed, taking the chance to ease their relationship, it would be good for her.

I just went to sit at my second sister's place for a while, and she didn't say anything to me for a long time. She looks like a weird person, and she used to be such a cheerful girl, but now, she has become a sawing gourd, and it's a shame that you can still think about her in your house. I heard from Xiang Lan that the dishes were all ordered by you to be made by someone else, she doesn't understand anything, so I said a word of thanks to her on her behalf. "

"Big Sis said I'm being polite, aren't you the same?" Xie Jingxi poured a cup of tea for her, "It's really heartbreaking that she lost two children in a row, the only thing I can do is to take care of her as much as possible, and rely on her alone. I wonder how Big Sis has been recently, just because you care about us, we didn't ask you."

Xie Jingyi looked a little worried as she mentioned the matter of her own residence. "Even if you're at home, you still know about it, the Lu family is still more complicated than the Gu family, and they were at odds with your brother-in-law for the sake of your aunt a few days ago. Sigh, let's not mention it, right now, you and Young Master are at the same time, so you might not want to listen to them, but sooner or later, you will have a headache anyway.

The Lu Family was a typical aristocratic family. Adding all the branches of their family together, it would not be a problem to form a small town. The clan had many rules, and life could not be lived as he pleased. Lu Bingsheng also had two older direct relatives' brothers, and there were four of them, he was neither the leader nor the leader, although he was doing well, but he could not be considered a good man, competing for the position of the clan's heir was extremely difficult.

Therefore, Xie Jingyi would have to be trembling with fear during her days at Lu Family, serving his in-laws, interacting with them with them in every way, and then there would be the problem of her aunt. Even if Lu Bingsheng was not a person who indulged in beauty, his relationship with Xie Jingyi was not bad, but if he did not release a few aunts in the room, it would result in people criticizing him. In the past few years, the two of them had been unrestricted in the Northwest, and now, they could not escape from his granny's eyes no matter what.

Lu Bingsheng had even messed with Madam Lu on this matter, but once the mother and son were done, they could direct all the hatred onto Xie Jingyi. Since Xie Jingyi could not take it anymore, she decided to bring the two little girls to Lu Bingsheng.

Xie Jingxi felt the same way, thinking that if one day she and Gu Yun were to reach the same situation, then it was inevitable that their feelings would be affected, and if things got even more serious, it was possible for the husband and wife to centrifuge. Not to mention further, Xie Cen and Lady Xu were the best witnesses.

"Big Sis still needs to think a bit more. Which family didn't come over like this? It's a good thing that Brother-in-law is a sensible person. Once Brother-in-law has a future, your days will be much easier."

Xie Jingyi nodded his head, "How could I not understand what you're saying? It's just that I can't understand it, I see that Young Master is very good to you, enjoy a few more years of blessings."

After talking about family matters, Big Sis Xie Family left. As soon as she left, Lady Zeng sent some parsley over, saying that she wanted to invite Grand Mistress over. Xie Jingxi thought for a moment, then took a few bottles of honey Big Sis brought along.

After the incident with Marquis Mansion, Lady Zeng's body was constantly changing between a good and bad state, and her spirit seemed to be in a much worse state. When Xie Jingxi entered, Lady Zeng was lying on the bed, squinted, and the entire room was filled with a heavy fragrance, as if there was a trace of aging mixed in.

"It's eldest son's wife." The Lady Zeng called her over to sit down, "When a person gets old, their mental state will get worse, and they will be tired after a while."

Xie Jingxi helped her up and placed a cushion behind her. "The weather is getting warmer, and mother often goes out to walk around, so the house must also be constantly ventilated and stuffy.

Feng Ling closed it because I was afraid of being cold, but being sick only makes me more afraid of being cold, and my body is getting worse. Fortunately, I had your help, so Marquis kept praising you. Lady Zeng looked at her, "The young mistress who had heard from Feng Jing about Lu Family just came over, is there something you need?"

Xie Jingxi smiled, "I'm fine, I just came to visit the Second Miss and sent some specially made honey over. I even brought some for Mother."

"You, the big sister, are also a sensible person. Your aunt even praised her, saying that only she would cause trouble among Lu Family's daughter-in-law. After giving birth to her first wife, you only know how to give your husband, Aunt Luo, a lot of pleasure."

Xie Jingxi's expression froze, the Lady Zeng saw that the door did not leave without any further questions, and knew that the place was short for a family member, and thus dragged on the matter of the concubine, unless she had something to say to her.

The Lady Zeng said again: "Today, I called you here for no other reason, I just wanted to discuss your Second Miss's body with you. I heard from my family doctor that she hasn't gotten out of bed for a few days, and her days haven't come, yet she doesn't seem to be pregnant. I don't know what kind of illness it is, but my heart is listening anxiously."

The second young mistress could not bear to be pampered by the Second Young Master. Anyone in the family would know that Gu Heng had always refused to go to her house, that it was impossible for him to get pregnant, and since days were not allowed, the possibility of him getting pregnant became even slimmer. The possibility of him getting pregnant was far, far away.

~ It is no wonder that Lady Zeng has such a problem, Xie Jingxi thought to herself. She reckoned that Lady Zeng already had the thought of forcing Gu Heng to take a concubine in, and wanted to specially look for her to discuss it.
