Chapter 288 In-law's family
Ye Anlan didn't know what to say.
Brother Xie Yuan sent such a letter to Mrs. Xie, no doubt playing the emotional card.
He asked his younger sister to bring the child back to her natal home, thinking it best, maybe it was to take advantage of Xie Yuan's influence to suppress those relatives and subordinates who were eager to move because he was lying in bed.
At worst, he might have deliberately written such a letter to encourage Mrs. Xie to bring Xie's freshly baked heir back to her natal family just to pinch Xie Yuan's weakness.
These, she knows, Xie Yuan knows, maybe Mrs. Xie knows too, but Mrs. Xie has been spoiled by her brother since she was a child, and her brother even said "the last side", how could Mrs. Xie not Moved?
Ye Anlan hesitated for a moment before looking into Xie Yuan's eyes and said: "Then you... are you planning for the worst?"
Worst plan, his son is afraid that he will grow up with his grandmother, or die in the middle of the journey.
Xie Yuan was silent for a moment, then smiled and sighed, "I wrote three urgent letters to my wife. The first letter suggested that she send her confidant mother back to visit the sick, but she walked slowly afterwards, but she refused. The second letter suggested that she send the child to me and go back alone, but she also refused. The third letter suggested that she send the child to you first, and then decide whether to take the child to my uncle after seeing the situation. there"
"No, you wait." Ye Anlan went crazy, "Why do you want your child to be placed with me?"
Xie Yuan smiled wryly, "I can't help it either."
"You can't help me, and you can't trick me!" Ye Anlan tried hard to control her ready-to-kick foot, not letting herself kick it directly, "You let me take care of a child who is less than one year old? Are you crazy or are you crazy?" Am I crazy? Why should I pick up this hot potato from your family?"
In this day and age, the level of medical care is limited, and the mortality rate of children is very high. It is outrageous for his wife to torment her son who is less than one year old. A vast ocean, right?
"You don't have to pick it up if you want, my wife doesn't agree." Speaking of this, Xie Yuan sighed again, "She has suffered a lot to give birth to this child, and she treats this child like an eyeball , I don’t want to let him leave my eyes for a moment.”
Ye Anlan was speechless, "Then she also has to think about her son's physical condition, right? So young, he will travel long distances with him."
Ye Anlan didn't dare to say unlucky words, lest someone would blame her, but the meaning she wanted to express was very obvious, that is, she did not approve of Mrs. Xie taking her son back to her mother's house.
Although if you don't take a detour, but pass directly on Ye Anlan's territory, Mrs. Xie not only does not need to bear the risk of being attacked by other rebel forces, but because the distance is shortened, she can completely worry about the child's physical condition. Marching, but the problem is that even if it's just two or three days of hard work, children are likely to get sick.
What's more, even if Mrs. Xie led the team to borrow directly from Ye Anlan's territory, she would not be able to reach the place where her brother is now in just two or three days.
“I wrote to her to explain the risks clearly, but she always felt that as long as she was careful on the road and paid more attention, the child would not get sick.”
Xie Yuan is also completely helpless, he is now at a critical juncture in the battle, and it is inevitable that he will not take care of family affairs, but the staff he left behind is not his rightful master, it is impossible to have the same attitude as himself tough.
Although he could write letters to persuade his wife, his words could not be too straightforward. For example, he suspected that his brother-in-law wanted to take his son as a hostage. If he said this, it would only have the opposite effect on his wife.
The deeper worries in his heart could not be directly expressed, only the concerns about his son's health, but his wife repeatedly assured that she would never ignore her son's physical condition just to go back to her mother's house to visit her brother.
Even in the latest letter sent by the courier, his wife said that if his son did feel unwell on the way, she would immediately entrust him to Ye Anlan.
But at the same time, she also said that if their son is not feeling unwell, then she will take her son back to visit her brother.
Mrs. Xie, like Li Jing's cousin Bai Zhiyun, is a standard ancient lady. They have been taught by the elders of the family since they were young. Have no opinion of their own.
Just like now, the worry and trust in her natal brother made Mrs. Xie even go against her husband's wishes to fulfill her brother's wish.
In the letter she wrote, although every word she said strictly abided by her duties as a wife and showed great respect to Xie Yuan, her attitude was soft but firm, and she did not give up on key points.
Xie Yuan was both depressed and angry, but he was concerned about his uncle, and he couldn't take strong measures to forcefully take the child away from his mother.
He couldn't tell whether he was explaining to Ye Anlan or using these words to relieve himself, "I'm actually not safe here. Every now and then, I will be poisoned or assassinated. Even if the child is really sent here, I will It may not be able to protect him airtightly. Besides, he is used to following his own mother, if I force him to take him to my place or to yours, he may also have a serious illness. "
Ye Anlan couldn't help sighing along with him. She understood, Xie Yuan knew that his son might be in danger, but under pressure, he could only agree.
She thought to herself, if she were in Xie Yuan's current position, she would rather create a estrangement with her allies and in-laws, and would rather give up all her previous efforts and stop fighting the enemy. She would never know that her child might be in danger. Under such circumstances, let the child's mother take away his son who is under the age of one.
Small indifference leads to big schemes, reluctance for children to be unable to trap wolves, she has heard many such words, but she can't do it.
It's not that she doesn't want to help Xie Yuan. If the child is five years old, or even if he is three years old, she can consider asking Xie Yuan to send the child to her for foster care for a while.
But for a milk baby who is not yet one year old, even if Xie Yuan has the courage to use her, she will not have the courage to take this hot potato.
She said to Xie Yuan: "I can **** them for you, or lend them a way, but I will only **** them to the tiger's mouth, and will not directly send them to their destination."
Just kidding, she dared to come to Xie Yuan's place to mess around, but it doesn't mean she also dared to go to Xie Yuan's uncle's territory.
