Xie Jingxi laughed it off, "I think Sheng Luan is pretty good, he has a straightforward and free personality, and is quite suitable for Wan'er, but Third Princess has such deep thoughts, I think they might not get along well, the two of them can either guess at the same time, or else don't guess, otherwise we would get tired of talking about the same thing."
He could not help but sigh and pulled her over to hug her. "Forget it, let them guess for themselves, since I have a wife, I won't worry about them."
"I saw that His Majesty would soon release my father, and he even used this matter to test me, causing me to break out in a cold sweat. I felt that His Majesty was someone who was suspicious of others, and also loved to take liberties with others. He said that he wouldn't scare me to death when he sees Jingyu and Sixth Miss, and was truly worried that my father would send him to the palace."
"I guess that His Majesty will make things difficult for you today, you won't be able to avoid entering the palace in the future, so try your best to deal with it. As for Sixth Miss, if he really sees anything, I can't do anything about it.
I have to go to the manor to hide for a few days. How about I take advantage of this time to bring Grandmother and Jingyu over to stay for a couple of days?
"Of course it's good."
How could Gu Yun not agree when his wife asked him for it? Thus, on the second day when Mu Xiu was free, she and Xie Jingxi packed their things and rushed to the manor in the outskirts of the capital. The Elder Official Xie was acquitted of all crimes, and Li Yannan, the Minister of Rites, was sentenced to execution for his crimes. Unfortunately, he became the scapegoat for the crown prince, and was sent out of the country by the His Majesty.
When Xie Cen returned home, the Old Madem then left for the manor. Originally, she did not want to go, but he could not resist Xie Jingxi's persuasion, and after that, the Old Madem had the intention to return home. If not for Xie Cen's imprisonment, she would have mentioned that at the beginning.
"Grandmother, why is Jingyu not here with you, but why is Father still locking him up to study?"
Xie Jingxi arrived a little earlier than the Old Madem and waited outside to welcome her. Seeing that the Old Madem came alone, she couldn't help but be disappointed, and said: "He said that it's not appropriate for Father to return home today and come back tomorrow. I thought it wouldn't be one or two days, so I decided to leave it to him."
"That's good as well. Grandmother will stay here for a few more days, if you like it then you can continue to stay. It just so happens that grandpa Gu Yun is there too, you old people can chat together."
"That won't be too convenient. I'll go back to the south after a few days, and I'll only be at home when I'm safe."
The Old Granny could never let go of this notion of returning to the south, so Xie Jingxi understood what she was thinking, and did not try to advise her against it. Instead, he only wanted to explain it to her slowly, but with regards to the Old Granny chatting about this sort of thing with her, she had left it too early, as Old Man Ji was not an ordinary old man, after all, it was all just a story later on.
Old Man Ji had a free and easy personality, as long as he had his own medicine fields, he didn't care where he went. Therefore, after he moved the warm rooms in his courtyard over, Old Man Ji followed closely behind. Since Gu Yun's place was huge, he was happy to be able to go anywhere.
Of course, Gu Yun was not too happy, he thought that he had constructed a courtyard that had a very personal charm to it, and it looked extremely unsightly to change into the current one. But since his wife was happy, he had nothing to say, so other than keeping the front yard the same, he had also given the rest of the courtyard to the Old Man Ji.
When Xie Jingxi led the Old Madem over, he was arguing with Gu Yun about the territory, which basically meant that he saw a place that was originally separated from the territory, and Gu Yun was not willing to give in, so the two of them had been arguing nonstop until now.
"Alright you brat, I want a piece of land, so what? Isn't it just a throw? You don't even need it to do anything, what can you do if you give me a piece of meat?!"
"This piece of land will ruin the overall beauty of my courtyard if I give it to you. As for the one that was originally divided, you just have to play around with them, and we won't get involved with each other in the river, we'll just be puppies if we cross the border."
"How dare you call me a puppy? If you refuse to teach me, return it to my home. Move my medicine garden back to its original place, hmph!"
"Move it back? You don't have to be afraid of moving your treasures to death? Furthermore, I heard from Xi that you can move your treasures to this place.
"You! "You, you, you, you …" Old Man Ji was so angry that he almost flew into the sky, "I fell into a thief's nest, Grandson's Wife, you came at the perfect time, you decide, what do you think I should do with the land, it's just suitable for a pond, not only can it grow water, it can also raise fish and shrimp, how nice is that."
A hat of a peacemaker came up to Xie Jingxi, "Grandfather, don't listen to him, I feel that it's good. He's playing with you, I'll make the decision, rest assured."
Old Man Ji was so excited that he almost hugged Xie Jingxi's thigh. He was quickly moved to the side by Gu Yun, "Go speak at the side if you have something to say.
"Hmph, since my Grandson's Wife is on my side, I won't recognize you as a little brat. Aiya, this is my granddaughter."
Old Madem watched on from the side, her eyelids jumping up and down, she had never seen such a happy grandfather and grandson, thinking to herself, Is this the way to become a famous Mr. Jil?
It was naturally hard to say when they had just met, but it did not stop the Old Man Ji from having a tragic break in his image in his heart. However, Old Man Ji was not so formal, becauhee had Grandson's Wife supporting her, she was in a good mood, and when he saw Old Madem, she even went over to greet him with a serious expression, "This must be Grandson's Wife's grandmother, please take care of her for the first time."
From the bottom of her heart, Old Madem did not want to take care of him, but she still returned the favor with his good character, "I am the one who should be disturbing you."
Xie Jingxi went over to support Old Madem, "Grandmother, don't be so formal, Grandfather is the one who is the most carefree. It's like you're back home, you can be whatever you want when you see a neighborhood.
Old Madem said in her heart that she did not have such a place to live. How annoying it was to live together with her because of her granddaughter, she had to go back no matter what.
"Ah, that's right, Grandfather. Why don't we take this opportunity to help Grandmother feel her pulse. Are you free?"
"No problem, no problem. I'll go wash my hands."
saw through her suspicions as he smiled, "Grandmother, it should be weird too, my grandfather did not look at my pulse for others before, and it was only because he saw Xi that she was like this. It was Xi who made him happy."
No wonder. When the old lady heard him say that, it was better to not like him at all. At least her good granddaughter could eat well in her old family, which was better than anything else.
The Old Man Ji did not look too reliable, but when he saw that his illness was acting up, he replied with his beard, "It's a little more troublesome than I thought."
Old Man Ji was extremely good at keeping people in suspense, but as long as he was here, it was just a little troublesome compared to not being troublesome, so Xie Jingxi was not too worried, on the contrary, it was just that Old Madem was not very knowledgeable on the subject, and thought that it had given rise to trouble, "It's an old ailment, I can't really hope to treat it, it's just been like this for so many years, if it's troublesome, it's fine."
The Old Man Ji was not happy that others looked down on his medical skills, and immediately felt that the old lady was not as cute as him, "This little problem is nothing difficult, if I can't cure it, I will never treat it."
Old Madem choked, and knew that she shouldn't have said that, so she did not say anything further. Instead, she looked at Old Man Ji, and Xie Jingxi said: "Grandmother, don't worry, Grandfather is really strong, don't tell me you don't want to cure this old illness, think how uncomfortable it is when you are sick."
Gu Yun silently gave his wife a thumbs up. In terms of taking care of Old Man Ji, he only admired his wife.
"This must be an old illness that you planted when you were young. It's difficult to recover from a broken foundation. It's not a problem to treat it, but the roots that you've planted over the years need to be slowly recuperated, so you can't be impatient."
didn't want to talk about her grievances, so he changed the topic, "This means that I have to follow Grandfather to recuperate. This means that I have to stay for a few more days to recuperate before returning to the south. This place is so beautiful, and living here is suitable for recuperating, what do you say, Grandfather?"
Old Man Ji nodded honestly, "Grandson's Wife's words are reasonable, in addition you still have rheumatism on your body, I need to use acupuncture regularly. The cold and humid area to the south is not suitable for recuperation, it's better to stay in the capital."
Xie Jingxi was secretly happy in her heart, "Just tell me what you think, so Grandmother, you can stay here peacefully. When you're done, I'll accompany you back to take a look.
Old Madem lost her temper because of the two of them singing one tune, and could only settle down, "Fine, we'll do as you say."
As a result, the Old Madem finally followed Xie Jingxi's heart and settled down in the villa, temporarily bidding the miscellaneous matters of the Marquis Mansion farewell. Xie Jingxi felt relaxed and content, other than the fact that Gu Yun had to endure the torture of waking up early and returning late every day, everything else was very satisfying.
The next day, when Gu Wan came over, each of them carried a cat and dog. But today, as she was dressed in women's attire, her walking was awkward, and just as she got off the horse carriage, the dog in her embrace ran out. Gu Wan was so anxious that she almost tripped over, and coincidentally met Xie Jingyu who was walking over with her.
Xie Jingyu was startled, he thought, does this girl recognize him?
