Xie Zichen hurried back to Xie's house. When he arrived, Xie Jue had just entered the door, and Xie Zichen rushed in. He brought a group of guards behind him, and rushed straight into the courtyard. Xie Jue couldn't help but froze when he saw this posture. Then he became angry: "Nizi, what are you doing!"
"Close the door, and invite everyone from the second room to come out."
Xie Zichen completely ignored Xie Jue, opened his mouth coldly, walked past Xie Jue, walked into the table directly above the lobby, lifted the hem of his clothes, and sat down on his knees.
This posture made Xie Jue stunned, and couldn't help feeling a little flustered. Seeing the guards pouring in closing the gate and surrounding the entire courtyard, Xie Jue hurried into the lobby, and said anxiously: "Zichen, what's going on here? ?”
Xie Zichen didn't speak, turned over the tea bowl and poured tea by himself.
At this time, the entire second room was dragged out by the soldiers. Xie Xue yelled and pushed away at the same time. Seeing Xie Zichen, her eyes lit up, she pushed away the female guard who was pulling her, and rushed in, anxious Said: "Brother, you are here, they..."
Before he finished speaking, Xie Tong, who was standing in front of Xie Zichen, directly flashed his knife, forcing Xie Xue to stop in front of him.
"Miss Seven," Xie Tong said coldly, "please don't come forward any more."
"You slave, is it your turn to speak here?!" Xie Xue yelled angrily, and was about to say something, when Xie Zichen said: "Hit."
Without saying a word, Xie Tong raised his hand and slapped Xie Xue to the ground. The guards rushed up quickly and pressed Xie Xue to the ground.
"What are you doing!" Xie Jue and Lin Shi rushed up, and the guards immediately held them down. The rest of the people in the second room were stunned by the scene. Everyone was separated by other guards, and they saw Xie Xue Kneeling on the ground under escort, he shouted in shock, "Brother, why do you want someone to beat me?"
Hearing Xie Xue's question, Xie Zichen held the tea bowl, looked up at Xie Xue, and said coldly, "Why did I hit you, don't you know?"
Xie Xue was stunned for a moment, and then realized that what she did recently to make Xie Zichen angry was nothing more than reporting on Wei Lan. Xie Zichen found out so quickly
Xie Xue couldn't help feeling a little flustered for a moment, and said forcefully, "What do I know?"
"What do you know? If you hadn't gone to inform me, His Majesty would have known about Wei Lan's conscription in Qingzhou?!"
"That's what she deserves!" Xie Xue blurted out: "She dares to do it, but she dares not be told?!"
Hearing this, Xie Zichen laughed angrily, turned his head to look around, and said coldly, "Who told her?"
No one spoke, Xie Zichen turned his attention to Xie Zichun, it is not absurd that Xie Zichun is the only one in the whole Second Household, relying on the Second Household's ability, they must have obtained this kind of news from him, and they must have touched this kind of news, There is only one Xie Zichun.
Xie Zichun felt his scalp tingling under Xie Zichen's cold gaze, so he forced himself to come out and said, "Zichen, I didn't think carefully about this matter. I accidentally saw this news on the document that Zichen spread out that day. My younger sister was present when I was talking to my father, but she overheard me when I didn't want to. She is not sensible, so I hope Zichen will forgive me."
"Second brother!" Xie Xue struggled, dissatisfied: "What did I do wrong? This is her own fault, Wei Lan. She dared to do this, but still dare not admit it? Now that she knows that His Majesty minds this matter, she still wants to Do it, fourth brother, you still help her to hide it. If something happened, wouldn’t it be my Xie family who shouldered the crime with her?! In order to develop her Wei family, she, Wei Lan, turned the unpopular Changxinhou Mansion into a noble family by all means. Brother, you Indulging her like this, dragging the entire Xie family to take risks together?!"
"I'm not convinced!" Xie Xue said angrily, "I'm not wrong!"
"That's right?" Xie Zichen smiled coldly, and glanced at the others in the second room: "You think so too?"
No one in the second room dared to speak, except Xie Zichun said: "Of course not. In the current situation, Prime Minister Wei is trying to contain Huanheng, I will understand." The rest of the people lowered their eyebrows and eyes, as if they agreed with these words.
Xie Zichen nodded, but his eyes fell on Xie Jue's face, and he said calmly, "You actually have a son like me, it's really God's virtue to live well."
This sentence was said in a weird way, but everyone could hear the sarcasm in it. Xie Zichen stood up, put his hands in his sleeves, and said coldly: "I am here today. This is the first time and the last time I tell you. Wei Lan has already If you marry me, she will be my wife, and from then on, both the Wei and Xie families will be prosperous and hurt, and if you touch her, it will all be stabbed at me, Xie Zichen!"
"Do you think that Wei Lan's conscription is to support her Changxinhou Mansion? Yes, it is good to support her Changxinhou Mansion, but it is also because the current situation between the north and the south is too tense. If she supports Wang Ning alone, Wang Ning will easily become the next one." Huan Heng, so Wei Lan built her own army to be able to stand in the way when Huan Heng crossed the south of the Yangtze River! I was also involved in this matter. This army clearly belongs to the Wei family, but in fact, I, the Xie family, also participated. I don't have a direct army in my hand. Although Wang Ning is on good terms with me, she is from the Wang family after all, so Wei Lan wants to carry the Changxinhou Mansion, but I don't want to carry my Xie family. You have to check it carefully, no one can escape!"
Hearing this, Xie Xue's complexion suddenly turned pale, and finally realized that she seemed to have made a big mistake.
She doesn't know much about the affairs of the court, but she knows that His Majesty is extremely concerned about this matter. If Xie's family really participates, their second wife will definitely be affected.
She opened her lips tremblingly, but couldn't say anything.
Xie Zichen cast his eyes on Xie Xue, looked down at her, and said slowly: "Why, I'm speechless? Still think I'm right? Why dare not say something if you dare to do it? Our Xie family dare to do the same It's a big deal, do you want me to tell you what else I did, and you go to the palace to report? When we meet on Huangquan Road, can we still have a companion on the road?"
"Zichen, she knew she was wrong." Seeing Xie Zichen stabbing Xie Xue like this, even though she knew that Xie Xue was stupid, Lin still couldn't help but said, "Now let's see what..."
"You think I'm here to play with you?!" Hearing Lin's persuasion, Xie Zichen interrupted her coldly: "Why, she made such a big mess, don't you think that I came here for three years?" Is it enough to reason with her in a few words?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Xie Zichen looked at Xie Xue quietly, and said coldly, "Xie Xue, are you fifteen years old?"
Xie Xue didn't speak, but Xie Zichen's voice was so cold that she was a little scared. Her body trembled slightly, Xie Zichen looked at her indifferently, and said lightly, "It's time to get married."
"Fourth brother?!" Xie Xue raised her head suddenly. She was planning to discuss marriage, but because of Xie Zichen's high status and power, her worth has also risen accordingly. Now that Xie Zichen mentioned this matter, even a fool would know that he was definitely not planning to find a good marriage for her.
"Second Brother," Xie Zichen ignored her, and said directly to Xie Zichun, "Find her a business house far away from Shengjing. She will never go back to Shengjing in her life."
"What?!" Lin suddenly raised her head and said angrily, "No, Xie Zichen, it's not your turn to decide this matter!"
"It's not your turn?" Xie Zichen turned his head to look at Mrs. Lin, with a half-smile: "Mother, can you say it again?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Zichun stopped Lin Shi, and Xie Jue stopped talking.
Xie Zichen's eyes didn't move, his eyes were full of sarcasm, Lin was dragged by Xie Zichun, and then he remembered that the official careers of her three sons depended on Xie Zichen, even though Xie Zichen didn't like seeing the second wife very much, but in these matters, it was Never treated the second room badly.
She couldn't ruin her son's future for the sake of a daughter's marriage.
Lin turned the corner, her heart was full of anger, but she couldn't speak.
Xie Zichen looked at Xie Xue with a calm expression.
"If you have anything to say, just say it, this is the last time I see you."
"Why..." Xie Xue couldn't believe it, and suddenly raised her voice: "I'm your sister! You actually treated me like this for a man?! Xie Zichen, you are like a pig or a dog?!"
"Xie Xue," Xie Zichen said coldly, "You think I'm doing it for Wei Lan? No, I'm doing it for Xie's family, for myself, and for you."
"Everyone is responsible for what they do, and what everyone does will have consequences. As a brother, I must be concerned about what you do today. If you are dissatisfied with me in the future, will you report me like this? ?”
"Although I am not the head of the Xie family now, I have shared honor and disgrace with the Xie family. If I were planted in your hands, it would be a big joke for me and the Xie family. And with your temperament, the high-ranking nobleman in Shengjing If you are a big family, you are not suitable to go, if you are doing this today, if you are not my sister, if you are my wife or my concubine, do you know what I would do?"
Xie Zichen approached her, his tone serious: "I will never let you live until noon."
Xie Xue stared blankly at Xie Zichen, and Xie Zichen's eyes were icy cold. After the two looked at each other for a moment, Xie Zichen straightened up and said again: "Besides, if I'm really doing it for Wei Lan, Xie Xue, I will definitely kill you."
"You, you guys," Xie Zichen glanced at the people in the second room, and said coldly, "It's best to pray that Wei Lan will be fine. I'm going to put my words here today. From now on, if Wei Lan has anything to do with you, You can try it out."
After speaking, Xie Zichen walked out without waiting for their response. Walking to the door, Xie Zichen glanced at Xie Xue, who was hugged and wept by Mrs. Lin, and said calmly, "Fifty boards, until you see blood."
Xie Tong responded, and Xie Zichen strode out. Xie Xue's screams and Lin's scolding came from behind him. He walked out of Xie's house calmly. When he walked out of Xie's house, he saw the gray sky. It's really different from the previous life.
Even at the end of his previous life, no matter how much he hated Xie's family, he didn't dare to really destroy his family, because there was no one behind him, and this was his only home. No matter how disgusting or disgusting he was, he didn't have the courage to tear it up completely. .
But in this life, he can lightly feel that there seems to be no pity to give up.
Because he has a family of his own, someone who loves him and waits for him.
Sometimes, when the family of origin is dilapidated, the person who gives you warmth and accompanies you all your life will give you great strength, let you cut off the past and move forward hard.
Xie Zichen was so grateful to Wei Lan suddenly that he couldn't help but want to see her immediately and hold her in his arms.
Thinking this way, he abandoned the carriage, got on his horse, and rushed to Changxinhou's mansion.
Arriving at the gate of Changxinhou's Mansion, I saw two groups of soldiers confronting each other, the Imperial Forest Army on the outside, and Wei Lan's Mansion Army on the inside. Xie Zichen rushed over, seeing this scene, he couldn't help asking: "What is this for?"
"Nothing," Ran Mo smiled, "Our family's son is under house arrest."
As he said that, Ran Mo turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Chen Shuang, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army: "Master Chen, can Mr. Xie come in?"
Chen Shuang is Wang Xi's man, and he has already accepted Wang Xi's order. Regarding Wei Lan, just make sense.
Wang Xi thought clearly that Wei Lan's move would be of great benefit to the entire north-south balance, and Qingzhou, together with Yunzhou and Youzhou below Huanheng, was the first line of defense in Dachu. Wei Lan raised so many soldiers, In fact, most of them will be lost on the battlefield. As long as the imperial court takes back the military power after three years, everything will not be a big deal.
For this kind of thing that is beneficial to the entire court, Wang Xi is willing to make concessions. And it's not a good thing to really push Wei Lan into a hurry. Even if Wei Lan is to be forced to rush, it shouldn't be him, Wang Xi, who should be the vanguard officer.
Whether out of friendship or overall consideration, Wang Xi didn't want to embarrass Wei Lan too much.
So Chen Shuang listened to Ranmo's provocation and pretended he didn't hear anything.
Xie Zichen and Chen Shuang thanked each other, Chen Shuang nodded and turned his head away.
Xie Zichen walked out of the room and saw Wei Lan writing a letter. He walked behind Wei Lan, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly.
"The matter is over?" Wei Lan put down her pen, hugged Xie Zichen back, and said gently, "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"
"No." Xie Zichen closed his eyes, and said slowly, "I just think, Ah Lan, it's good of you to be here."
With you here, Xie Zichen will have a home.
He has lived two lives, always alone, the whole Xie Mansion is bustling, and he has always been the one in the corner.
No one is waiting for him, and no one cares about him.
He ate alone, slept alone, read alone, and made tea alone.
He's been alone for too long, so even if it's just the warmth of blood in the Xie family, he won't dare to let go.
Now, he finally has a home.
Holding Wei Lan tightly, he said slowly, "A Lan, give me a child."
Wei Lan was taken aback for a moment, her face was a little stiff.
Xie Zichen immediately realized what he said, how could it be possible for Wei Lan to have a child under the current situation
He rubbed against her and said quickly, "That's all, let's do it later."
"If it's this lifetime," Wei Lan said slowly, "I can't even give you a child?"
Xie Zichen didn't speak, he thought about it seriously.
He is not a love talker, he will think carefully about every word he says, he never promises what he can't do, and he never likes to talk about it.
Wei Lan waited for him, and after a while, he slowly said: "A Lan, I love you, never because of a child."
"In my last life, I lived alone until I was nearly forty years old. In this life, it's good to have you with me. Having children is just icing on the cake, and now." He let her go and smiled gently: "There's nothing wrong with that. "
"Alan," he raised his hand to push the hair on her forehead: "You don't have to stop for anyone, you can go wherever you want. A good relationship should make you go further."
"What about you?" Wei Lan couldn't help but said, "If I go further, is it based on your sacrifice?"
Xie Zichen was stunned for a moment, he never thought that one day Wei Lan would ask such a question.
She has already started to wait for him slowly, look back at him slowly, and pay attention to him slowly.
Xie Zichen couldn't help laughing.
"Alan," he said softly, "Actually, with you, I feel that I have a much better life than before."
As he said that, he raised his hand to press on his heart, and said gently: "The growth of a person is not only about ideals and great achievements, making up for the lack and perfecting what is lacking in one's character is also growth. Ah Lan, this feeling makes me change. It's better, I don't feel like I'm sacrificing anything."
"Go forward, look forward," Xie Zichen held her hand and lowered his eyes: "Alan, I will be with you in this life."
