Chapter 198: Subjugating People with Force
Since you don’t want to pay your respects to grandpa, then go find the friend of my third sister-in-law.
They have been touring Jinling City together these days. The storytellers in the teahouse should be updated. Go early to get a good seat.
Do it when you think of it. Xie Yi quickened his pace. Xie Fan asked, "Why are you walking so fast?"
"Second brother, I'm going to find third brother. You go back by yourself." After saying this, Xie Yi disappeared in a flash.
Xie Fan muttered, "Who is the real brother after all?" His tone was slightly sour.
Xie Fan was about to continue walking when he suddenly heard a shrill cry coming from the yard behind him.
"Not good." Xie Fan turned around and ran towards Luozhiyuan.
In Luozhi Garden, Xie An came back to his senses from Feng's attack and caught a glimpse of his old father's purple face out of the corner of his eye.
Xie An stretched out his hand tremblingly to feel his breath, but he could no longer sense any breath.
Xie An yelled, "Dad, don't die, Dad, Dad, ah..."
When Xie Fan entered the room, he saw Xie An lying on Xie Lin and crying.
He walked forward and saw Xie Ling lying straight with his eyes wide open, as if he had died with his eyes open.
"This..." Xie Fan swallowed his saliva, took a step back, and then realized something was wrong, so he knelt down and sobbed.
"Uncle, is grandpa gone?" Xie Fan choked.
After a while, Xie An raised his head, said nothing, and fumbled under Xie Ling's pillow, but found nothing.
Xie An frowned, "Where did you put it?"
"Uncle?" Xie Fan was confused.
"Go gather your brothers and work with the servants to set up the mourning hall." Xie An said to Xie Fan while searching.
Xie Fan wiped his tears, nodded, stood up from the ground, and asked before leaving, "Uncle, what are you looking for?"
"Go away, don't ask any more questions, and get to work." Xie An waved his hand impatiently.
Xie Fan glanced at Xie Lin, who was still awake, and walked forward bravely, closed his eyes, and then walked out.
Not long after, the Xie Mansion hoisted the white sail. This was prepared earlier, in preparation for this day, but unexpectedly it happened just in time.
Li Yuening heard the news and tightened her grip, "It finally came true."
Xie Shi held her hand and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm here to stop any enemy that comes."
Li Yuening nodded, "Let's change our clothes and go over."
At this time, at the gate, the fat nanny Qu Niang was pinching her waist and yelling at Xie Hang, "Oh my, it's so unlucky to hang a white sail at the gate.
How can my wife come in and out?"
Xie Hang refuted with a serious face, "My grandfather just passed away.
The Xie family hung white sails to commemorate him.
What is bad luck? Please be careful with your words, Madam."
Qu Niang said disdainfully: "What do you mean by words or no words? I, an old woman, don't understand.
Today, the white sail cannot be hoisted.
Now the one who is in charge of the Xie Mansion is my wife.
My wife is in good health, please don't offend her."
Xie Hang was furious, "Madam, how rude! When did your wife become the one who makes the decisions in the Xie Mansion?
Guests are welcome, so I, the Xie family, should be courteous and consider myself the master.
What's the point? "
"You speak in a very elegant manner, I guess you have read some books.
Don’t you know that the branch follows the master?”
Xie Hang was speechless for a moment. As a scholar, he didn't know how to reason with such a rude woman.
Just as Xie Hang was scratching his head, a voice interrupted from the side, "Mammy, you are so arrogant. You really know how to play the game of relying on others for power."
Qu Niang turned her head and saw Xie Shi and Li Yuening standing a few steps away in white. She had met almost everyone in the Xie family before.
Only Sanlang and his wife, who had returned recently, had never paid their respects to the lady.
I invited people to come and got rejected.
The lady was just looking for an opportunity to punish him, but she didn't expect that he would come to her door today.
Qu Niang automatically ignored the words of "dog relying on the power of others" and said, "I guess you two are the Third Young Master and the Third Madam, right?
You two are really busy people. Madam invited us several times, but you both declined.
What? Do you look down on my wife? "
Li Yuening ignored her and said to Xie Hang, "Hang up the sail, keep the coffin for another three days, and have the servants go to the familiar families to announce the death."
Xie Hang didn't know why, but he felt calm when he heard this, even though he was obviously older than her.
Seeing that Li Yuening ignored her, Qu Niang blocked Xie Hang with her fat body and said, "Don't hang up."
Xie Shi stepped forward, took the thing from Xie Hang's hand, walked around Qu Niang, and used the force of a white sail to hang down from both sides of the plaque.
"You?" Qu Niang didn't expect Xie Shi to be a martial artist. She stretched out her fat arm and pointed at the people. "You are too arrogant. You...just wait.
I will report this to my wife and punish you for your disrespect."
Li Yuening, "Your wife had a hard time in Yecheng before, right?
You've been showing off in Nanjing for a few days, and now you think you're a big shot?"
"What do you mean?" Qu Niang didn't understand.
Li Yuening didn't want to waste time on this kind of verbal battle, so she said to Xie Shi, "Let's go."
Xie Shi nodded, and the two of them walked towards Luozhi Garden hand in hand.
Xie Hang was stunned for a few moments, and while Qu Niang was still in a daze, he hurried to catch up.
I have always heard my fifth brother talking about my third brother and his wife. Today, I saw them up close and realized that they used to be devoted to studying.
I didn’t know that Third Brother knew martial arts.
Li Yuening, "The old man passed away so suddenly. I just sorted out the house.
He really knows how to find something for me to do.”
Xie Shi, "Thank you for your hard work."
In the past few days since returning from Nanshan, Xie Shi has been busy with the business in the shop outside, and Li Yuening is in charge of the mansion.
Now that Xie Ling has passed away, mourners will come one after another starting tomorrow.
Yue Ning is most afraid of these troubles.
"No problem, I already have experience." Li Yuening said easily, "When the time comes, let Second Aunt help to receive the female relatives.
You can go with my second brother to the men's side."
She no longer counted on Xie An.
"Ah."
Xie Hang followed behind and heard that there was no sadness in their tone, as if they were talking about an irrelevant person.
I couldn't help but interrupt and said, "These should be done by uncle. He is the head of the family and he should be in charge."
Li Yuening curled her lips, "We have received the news for half an hour. Have you seen him?"
Xie Hang was stunned. It was not until his second brother came back and told him that he knew that his grandfather had passed away.
He hurriedly took his servants to hang white sails and white lanterns all over the house.
"Besides, I am the head of the Xie family now." Li Yuening shook Xie Lin's private seal in her hand.
"Grandpa gave you the private seal?" Xie Hang knew that only those with this private seal could be the real head of the family.
In the past, Feng was only in charge on behalf of the emperor, and the private seal in Li Yuening's hand had a different meaning.
"Why else? Because I'm more reliable than you."
Xie Hang felt a little ashamed when he thought about what had just happened. He couldn't even hang up a white sail and had to rely on Li Yuening's help.
"Just now...thank you very much." Xie Hang said.
Li Yuening took the opportunity to ask: "Doesn't it make sense for a scholar to meet a soldier?"
"know."
"Now that you know this, next time you meet someone like Fat Mammy, don't try to convince her with reason."
How many people in this world can read? Can they convince those who are only capable of pestering and making unreasonable demands?
the answer is negative.
"What should we do then?" Xie Hang asked humbly.
"Subdue people with force."
