Chapter 222 He is the one behind the scenes
Thinking of this, Madam Xie glanced at Xie Songlin and said, "It's just that if you did something wrong, it's wrong. If you don't go to social events or drink, you won't be plotted against."
"Even if you planned it, you should have told me earlier. If there's no trust between husband and wife and you kept it secret from me, then what's the point of our life?"
After hearing what Madam Xie said, Xie Songlin did not deny it at all. Instead, he nodded solemnly and said, "Madam, you are right. Everything you said is correct."
"I shouldn't have kept it a secret. I kept it a secret because I was afraid you'd be angry. I'll do my best to make amends..."
Madam Xie nodded: "Well, what we need to do now is to make amends and find out who is behind this."
"The most important thing is to clear away those unknown dangers and obstacles for my daughter and let her live comfortably."
How could Xie Songlin not listen?
It was almost dawn, and the couple hadn't had such a long conversation for a long time.
It was rare that Mrs. Xie did not find an excuse to drive him away, but was willing to talk to him.
Xie Songlin was also happy. He seized the opportunity to explain to Mrs. Xie all the misunderstandings and sufferings they had experienced over the years.
Neither of them felt sleepy. It was getting late and it was almost dawn. They didn't plan to sleep either. They chatted while waiting for news from the other side.
The two of them kept each other informed of many things that happened over the years, including some trivial matters.
After chatting for a while, Xie Songlin couldn't help but look at Madam Xie and asked, "Madam, can you tell me now who your daughter is?"
Xie Songlin looked outside and said, "When my daughter comes later, I'll just take a look from a distance. Otherwise, she'll go into the inner house and stay with the other women, and I won't be able to see her."
He looked at Mrs. Xie expectantly, and it was obvious that he was both excited and anxious.
Madam Xie glanced at Xie Songlin with a deep gaze. After a long moment, she slowly nodded and said, "Since you are so anxious to know, I will tell you."
The misunderstanding between the two was resolved. It was impossible for Xie Songlin to harm his own daughter for a bastard, and there was no need to hide it any longer.
"Tell me." Xie Songlin asked hurriedly, "Who is our daughter? Does she look like you or me? How is she now? Is she married?"
"Who are her adoptive parents? You said they treat her like their own daughter. Shouldn't we go and thank them properly?"
Seeing Xie Songlin's impatience, Mrs. Xie felt a little amused for a moment: "You will never guess who our daughter is."
"Who is it? Sister Xian, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly, who is our daughter?" Xie Songlin asked.
Mrs. Xie said, "I mentioned someone to you before, I wonder if you remember him."
"Which one?" Xie Songlin was already scratching his head.
"It's Madam Ye from the pastry shop. Her brother is the old man's new disciple. Do you still remember him?" Mrs. Xie said with a smile.
Xie Songlin was startled and nervously grabbed Madam Xie's hand: "Is it her? Then she is not...the peasant woman of the Seventh Prince? She is our daughter?"
Madam Xie nodded and glared at Xie Songlin in disapproval: "What do you mean by 'peasant wife'? It's fine if others say that, but you're her father and you say that too?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant."
Xie Songlin was so excited that he was almost incoherent: "What I mean is... if she had a family like ours now, she wouldn't be bullied in the future, and no one would look down on her anymore."
Mrs. Xie nodded: "Of course."
"The Seventh Prince also took a liking to her... Before he knew her background, he petitioned His Majesty to make her his consort..."
Xie Songlin said excitedly: "Sister Xian, what you said is a blessing in disguise. In the end, she married the Seventh Prince. Otherwise, if she stayed with us, she would not know whether it was a blessing or a curse."
Thinking about how Xie Wan Ning was so eager to marry the Seventh Prince and even used the original engagement as a threat.
I guess because she knew her own life experience in advance and was instigated by Guan, she couldn't help it, right?
Fortunately, he and his wife were clear-headed enough, and the Xie family did not agree to this marriage.
Thinking back, Xie Wan Ning had previously disliked the Eighth Prince's background, but now thinking about it, it was a good thing that the marriage didn't take place.
Otherwise, if the matter were to be exposed, the Xie family would marry such a person to the Eighth Prince. Even if her background was poor, it would not be comparable to that of the ministers, and they would definitely be implicated.
Madam Xie glanced at her and said, "I can think this way, but you can't."
"Yes, yes, yes." Xie Songlin said hurriedly: "I am also wrong, I will definitely make up for it. That's great, that's great..."
Xie Songlin's eyes were filled with anticipation: "These days, I often hear colleagues mention our precious daughter. They all say that she is generous and doesn't seem like a peasant woman. She is also extremely beautiful, good at managing her subordinates, and kind-hearted."
"I heard from the Ministry of Industry that they've been actively paying taxes and even conducted some kind of 'fire drill,' and now the government offices in the city walls are following suit."
"Oh right... Minister Lu, the newly appointed Minister of Works, said our daughter discovered potatoes. Because of this, the Seventh Prince's men also discovered sweet potatoes, or yams, which have an equally high yield..."
Xie Songlin kept talking about what Ye Nanyue had done, with an expression of pride on his face.
Xie Wan Ning didn't know which beggar or refugee's daughter she was. If she married into the royal family, the consequences would be unimaginable.
How can such a person compare with his precious daughter?
But thinking about how his precious daughter had never been raised by them for a single day, yet was still so outstanding, he began to doubt the effectiveness of his own bloodline...
Maybe it’s because they were brought up well by their adoptive parents?
Xie Songlin didn't dare to say anything and only talked about Ye Nanyue with Mrs. Xie.
Although Mrs. Xie already knew most of it, she still listened with great interest.
It was almost dawn when someone came in and said, "Master, there's news. We saw who Miss Wan Ning's people contacted."
Xie Songlin, who had a kind expression on his face, immediately turned serious: "Really? Where is he?"
When the man reached the outside of the screen, Xie Songlin went out and said, "Let's talk here."
The attendant immediately lowered his voice and said, "It was someone from the Second Prince's Mansion. After Miss Wan Ning's people went there, they came to pick it up soon and wrote back to Miss Wan Ning's people."
"It's just that we haven't read the contents of the letter yet. It's been delivered to Miss Wan Ning. Do you want to take it?"
Xie Songlin said, "Bring it here."
Now that the letter is in Xie Wan Ning's hands, it won't matter if she takes it away again.
"Yes."
The man immediately said, "It will be delivered soon. I will wait for Miss Wan Ning to take a look before taking it away."
Xie Songlin nodded, his expression becoming increasingly indifferent: "People from the Second Prince's Mansion..."
So, what happened back then was related to the second prince?
If it is related to the Second Prince, then...was it the Second Prince's mother who was involved in that incident?
Thinking of this, Xie Songlin's face darkened.
Twenty years ago, the Second Prince's mother gave something to the man in the Xie family palace...
