The news of Xie Jingqi wanting to move to a different courtyard unavoidably reached both the Lady Zeng and the Marquis. It was just that it was different from what Xie Jingqi had expected, both of them disagreed.
Marquis only said no with determination, as if he wanted Xie Jingxi to advise him otherwise. He then called Gu Heng into the study room alone, and started to scold him.
"What do you want to do with your head!? Your son's aunt just doesn't want to ask, your daughter-in-law wants to move to a different house. Your house is filled with smoke all day, do you still want to be a part of it! "
Initially, Gu Heng did not think much of Marquis's words, but right now, he felt it was a little strange, "Father, it's not like you did not see what the relationship between her and I was, I actually wanted to care about her, but is that someone who can? It's completely unreasonable. I want to argue with her as soon as we talk, so wouldn't it be even more noisy without a family? Since she wants to go to the guest courtyard, then go, everyone should be safe. "
"Foolish!" "Don't think that I don't know about the rotten stuff in your house. It's fine if you just shut the door and messed around, but don't you feel ashamed of coming out now? You said it so easily, can you handle the situation over at Xie Family, and only know that she wants to go there herself. Don't you know that our family can't tolerate her, when she marries you, even the children can't protect you, you have no reason at all!"
"Then what can I do? If I were to tell her to listen, she would probably leave even faster. If I knew this would happen, why would I have sent so many women to me? "
Gu Heng was also full of grievances. The concubine had given birth to a son, making him the new wife and ran away, he was a passive participant from head to toe, it would be difficult for him to blame himself.
His temper was both arrogant and self-centered, and most importantly, he was a true and utter lover, "Gu Heng, I will tell you one thing, if I hand over the Marquis Mansion to you in the future, you better put away all those thoughts that you shouldn't have, and watch your son and his wife. As for your eldest sister-in-law, don't even think about it!"
Gu Heng suddenly raised his head, hatred and unwillingness flashed past his eyes. Everyone was telling him not to be delusional, why couldn't he think about it, that was what he wanted the most in his life!
Xie Jingxi was called over by the Lady Zeng to talk. Regarding Xie Jingqi's thoughts, the Lady Zeng was completely unable to understand them, it was just that an aunt had a son, what could she do to her mother?
Eldest daughter-in-law, did we do something wrong that made her unhappy? Why did she have to go to the other courtyard? When the second wife saw that they had a brother, she would just sit up straight in front of him. No matter what, she is still the legitimate wife of Brother Heng, so no one can take her place.
These words were said for the Xie Family people to hear, and Marquis Mansion did not do anything to her. Who was the one to look down upon such intemperance, could it be that he had to drive Aunt Fang out, and leave her brother to raise and rest in peace? That still wouldn't do.
"Mother, ever since Second Miss lost her eldest brother, Eldest Miss, his heart has not been able to get rid of this problem. Furthermore, his body is in a bad condition, so it is unavoidable that she loves to harass others, it is not because she is dissatisfied with his family, he probably wants to keep it a secret. I think that little uncle should advise him, after all, they are a couple, and there are some things that we cannot get involved in."
Xie Jingxi kicking the ball to Gu Heng was tantamount to forcing the entire Lady Zeng onto her side. In any case, with Xie Jingqi's current situation, Gu Heng couldn't escape from his responsibilities, rather than letting everyone shirk their responsibility, he might as well have the two of them close the door and solve the problem. If Gu Heng could keep someone, then everything would be fine.
It was not easy for Xie Jingxi to be stuck in the middle, no matter what side she stood on, she would offend people, but inside the words, she was still fighting for Xie Jingqi, as for whether or not she succeeded, it all depended on heaven's will.
What you said is reasonable, Brother Heng is usually busy, and due to the Aunt Fang's production these few days, everyone has unavoidably neglected her, but aren't they all here already, waiting for brother to cut off his milk at her birth mother's place, and still have to carry him to her room to raise him, if not it would be improper for him to stay in an aunt's room, you can advise her a little, so as to not make her misunderstand our good intentions, if she wants to stay for a few months, it's fine for her brother to come back.
Seeing that the Lady Zeng had let go, Xie Jingxi did not say anymore, "I got it mother."
Lady Zeng wanted to give a hug so much that she could raise him, but this was not the way Aunt Fang had planned. She looked coldly at the movements in Xie Jingqi's room, and her eyes filled with disdain, "What can she do to make trouble, if she wants to take my brother away, she needs to have the ability to do so. She can't even raise her own children, if Marquis Mansion wants to end their lives, then let her have it."
Aunt Fang's mama whispered: "Yesterday, Grand Mistress and Young Mistress from the Lu Family came over to persuade her. I don't know if she wanted to make a fool of herself or was determined to leave, but I heard that she has already packed everything up. It's just that Marquis and Marquis' Wife don't agree right now, so she didn't leave."
She wants to wait for Second Master to come and keep her people. When she makes a ruckus like this, her family will definitely use our brother as a good person to keep her, but she's planning to stop. Second Master is the last person who knows how to keep people, maybe he'll leave faster and faster.
"But …" What could they do with the Xie Family? If second master does not want to stay, that will depend on the face of the Xie Family people. "
This was also what the Aunt Fang was worried about. The power of the Xie Family was heavy, and in the end, the only thing that remained of it was the pressure of the Xie Family, and furthermore, their family could be considered to have indirectly produced a Second Prince woman.
"Then don't even think about taking my brother away. If she can't leave, then don't blame me for being rude. If she wants to fight, then we'll just wait and see!"
"Miss, quickly look! Second Elder is coming over!"
Aunt Fang got off the bed with her brother in her arms, her ears and eyes glued to the window, carefully observing what was happening over at Xie Jingqi's side.
Usually, he didn't care much about Xie Jingqi, but he felt that although this woman had a big temper, she would definitely not be willing to abandon her position as the son of the Marquis Mansion's wife. He thought that she had changed her nature recently, but who would have thought that she was holding back on an even bigger idea. Just like what the Marquis had said, she could not leave. If she left, how could he continue playing this game? Gu Heng felt like his mind was in a mess as long as she did not ask for his help, he would give her anything.
Gu Heng couldn't remember how long he hadn't stepped into this room. Since Xie Jingqi had first arrived, he didn't seem to have come here a few times, so she suddenly pushed open the door. It was filled with a strange aura, and she was also shocked by the Xiao Se inside, thinking to herself, Is this woman prepared to see through the mortal world?
Gu Heng pushed open the door and did not close it. He stood at the door and looked at Xie Jingqi who was sitting inside, "What exactly do you want?
Xie Jingqi also glanced at him once he entered the room, and then turned her gaze away, "Gu Heng, are you here to be a lobbyist now, so I advise you not to speak any further, because I don't plan on asking for anything, so I just hope that you don't mind me and that it won't be a difficult matter for you to handle."
Gu Heng was puzzled, he did not ask for anything from him, he just did not believe that was someone who could stay quiet, "Don't talk to me, just tell me what you need from me, as long as you do not cause unnecessary trouble, and look good, I will not cause trouble for you, so it's not that I can't live a life without cause, the one who will be the owner of the Marquis Mansion or you, the second young mistress, I don't know where you will end up, it's just for the Aunt Fang.
Xie Jingqi sneered, "Gu Heng, I truly feel sorry for you. After all these years, I still can't see through a single woman by your side, if I wanted to fight it out, it would be easy. It's just an aunt, no matter how weak I am, it's still not an issue for me to get rid of her. But you really look down on a mother's hatred. Moreover, you're just an ambitious mother, do you want to lose your family? Then you can just let me live, or do you think you can manage your backyard properly? Gu Heng, don't blame me for underestimating you, you can't. "
Gu Heng was stunned by what he said, and continued to look at him with a smile that was not a smile: "Your thoughts are not here, so all the women you feel are only women, they have to depend on you to live, so you do not truly put them in your eyes, but your carelessness will harm you, and you think that the considerate little girl in your study will just be a little girl who is bent on getting what you want, but a person with what they want will become unimaginable, aren't you the best example of that? If you look at yourself in the mirror now, do you think that I, your third sister, will see how you look right now?"
Gu Heng was completely dumbstruck, he felt that he had probably never met Xie Jingqi before, and it was as she had said, he did not understand any of the women around him, nor did he put any of them in his eyes. However, he started to suspect himself, precisely because of the Xie Jingqi that he despised the most.
"So Gu Heng, are you sure you still have a reason to keep me? My conditions are not simple, if you can chase away your concubines, then I won't be bothered to stay, but can you do that, so do you still want to stay?"
He probably can't.
