Just as they were talking, Xie Cen had returned, the women quickly went to draw the curtains and boil some water, welcoming him into the house. Xie Cen was from a scholarly family, and even though he had been in the government for many years, he still carried the aura of a bookworm. He looked around, and then sat on the left side of the Lady Xu.

The Lady Xu, observing the situation, personally received the tea and put it down, ”Master is rushing back, there's something important in the court.”

Although Xie Cen did not say anything, his actions revealed a sense of joy, and naturally did not escape the eyes of the woman who could read words the most, he raised his cup of tea and drank a few gulps before putting it down: ”His Majesty has granted Pavilion Elder Chen a warning this morning. Pavilion Elder Chen and my teacher are of the same generation, we naturally cannot lack our manners and etiquette when he leaves the capital the next day, prepare something suitable to be delivered over, and have Brother Yu to accompany me to see Elder Chen off.”

In front of senior teachers, he was only a junior. Pavilion Elder Chen had held onto the authority of the Cabinet for many years, and now that he had returned to his hometown, Xie Cen was one step closer to the center of power, this was the true benefit of it.

Moreover, Xie Cen wanted to bring Fourth Brother out to see the world, so how could she not be happy? Seeing that Fifth Brother was about to be of no use, and that there was only one Fourth Brother in the palace, the Old Master had to use so much effort to cultivate his.

”Darling, don't worry. I'm awake. I'll get someone to prepare a gift.”

”Don't worry about that for now. There's something else I need to discuss with you. It's about the marriage of the third lady.”

The first reaction she had was for her to avoid it. It could be seen that Xie Cen didn't have any intention of avoiding it, and he didn't even mention the words that were stuck at the tip of his tongue.

On the other hand, Xie Jingxi was not shy or shy, but when Xie Cen saw her, she could not help but praise her, and remained calm in the face of the situation. Thus, she said to her: ”Minister of the Fang family has mentioned this to me a few times, but his family's Second Brother is still young, so I did not agree to it. Today, I brought it up again, and I thought that Third Sister is already old, so I came to discuss it with you guys.”

The second son of the household's Minister was a good match for the family, and seeing Xie Cen's agreement, he knew that Xie Family and household Ministry of War were related by marriage, so they helped each other politically. Xie Cen, of course, liked hearing about it. Originally, Lady Xu didn't plan to marry her into their clan because Xie Jingxi hadn't been in the capital since she was young. Now that she was able to talk about such a suitable marriage, she naturally didn't have any reason to stop it.

”If husband thinks it's appropriate, I naturally agree. I also have some personal connections with Mistress Fang, and I heard that his Second Brother was hit by a few years ago, although he is currently training in the Hanlin House, sooner or later he will succeed, and it is said that his character is not bad, and his reputation is also good. He is a good child.”

Xie Cen nodded, as if he was satisfied. The meaning of Lady Xu's words was clear to Xie Jingxi, she wanted to ask such an outstanding noble young master, why did she ask to marry her so many times, everyone felt that it was appropriate, but why did no one ask her if she was willing?

It was still because she was raised in a small place, that she was able to marry into such a family, and she had the fortune of having cultivated for several lifetimes. Xie Jingxi laughed in her heart, but did not put down the gag about her marriage at all, because she knew that this matter would not be mentioned for long.

Although the fact that the Third Miss was going to be betrothed to the Fang family's second young master was not set in stone, but it had already spread out. Everyone in the residence looked at the Third Miss differently, but Xie Jingxi acted as if nothing had happened and did what she was supposed to do.

Two days later, Brother Nan finally woke up. He was so stupid that no one recognized him, causing Aunt Zhao to almost cry to death.

Lady Xu almost fainted on the spot after hearing the letter. She didn't bother to complain about Aunt Zhao's bad luck and called for the capable old wet nurse to take him to the Marquis Anfeng Palace.

The Marquis Anfeng Palace had a deep roots, the hundred year old house was imposing, but now it was in chaos. When Xie Jingxi stepped into the Marquis Anfeng again, there wasn't a single ripple in her heart. This manor had already used up all of her love and hate, so she didn't bother to take another look.

When Lady Xu came over, she had already exhausted all of her vitality. If not for the ginseng soup, she would have died a long time ago, and Imperial Physician meant that even if the Lord protected him, she would not be able to do much in the future. Although she did not say anything, she was hinting that she wanted to protect the child.

Lady Xu naturally didn't agree, but from her perspective, she wanted to protect the child, so she couldn't say these words clearly. Marquis Anfeng accompanied Lady Xu as he cried, ”All adults and children must be protected. Wives have great fortune and will definitely be alright.”
