Wang Zhi issued the decree, and then respectfully saluted the eldest princess. Then he looked at Situ Yuan and Xie Ying with a smile, greeted Minister Zhou, and then turned back to the palace.
After he left, Xie Xiu specially thanked Minister Zhou and invited Luo Hongwang to his home as a guest.
Xie You followed him shamelessly.
When they entered Xie Ying's mansion, Luo Hongwang immediately gave Xie Xiu a thumbs-up and boasted excitedly, "Xiu'er, your house is quite nice, isn't it? I heard it was a gift from the eldest princess. Your luck is truly something I, your uncle, envy you immensely."
Xie You secretly looked at the flowers and carved beams and painted buildings around him, and his heart felt like a jar of vinegar had been overturned, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
He couldn't help but look at Xie Ying again, and he couldn't understand why: Even if this girl was beautiful and lovely, there was no need for the princess to give such a luxurious house for her? How could a little girl like her withstand such overwhelming wealth?
Xie Ying noticed his gaze and immediately glared at him unhappily: [What are you looking at? Don't think I don't know that you've hooked up with that Liuli!]
Hearing Xie Ying's thoughts, Xie Xiu, Tu Jiaojiao and others all looked at Xie You at the same time.
Xie You didn't hear anything. Seeing everyone suddenly looking at him, he couldn't help but feel guilty and quickly praised, "Brother, this house is really nice."
Xie Xiu smiled faintly, "This isn't my house. It's a thank-you gift from Her Royal Highness the Princess to Yingying. It's getting late, you must be hungry, right? Let's go in and have a meal first, and then we can discuss what's next."
Xie You's heart skipped a beat. Thinking of his biological mother's dowry and the Luo family's property, he suddenly felt a little distracted.
The food was already prepared in the kitchen, and everyone had a quick lunch. However, because of the previous show, no one had any appetite.
Only Xie Ying and Xie Di drank milk with special relish.
After lunch, Xie Xiu took Xie You and Luo Hongwang directly to a flower hall and sat down to discuss things.
Tu Jiaojiao knew that they were going to discuss Luo Sheng's dowry and the distribution of Luo's family property, so she didn't bother them.
Xie Ying is different.
Although she didn't go there in person, she quietly sent Xiangxiang over and then used "empathy" to watch the show.
In the flower hall, Luo Hongwang took the lead in asking, "Are you willing to be adopted into the Luo family?"
Xie You subconsciously looked at Xie Xiu and saw him sitting quietly with a calm expression. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking. He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
However, thinking of the Luo family's wealth, he mustered up the courage and said, "Please let me be adopted. Since I am the child my mother sacrificed her life for, I should continue the Luo family's bloodline for her."
After saying that, he looked at Xie Xiu again, feeling nervous, fearing that Xie Xiu would compete with him for it.
Xie Xiu glanced at him calmly and said slowly, "Since my second brother is willing to be adopted, I will naturally not compete with him for it. But I think now is not a good time to adopt.
After all, my second brother was raised by that vicious woman Chen Fang. Even if she plotted against his marriage and made him a cuckold, if he was immediately adopted into the Luo family, it would inevitably lead to criticism.
It would be better to wait until the second brother passes the imperial examination and then be adopted by his maternal grandparents. This way, he can bring honor to the Luo family and avoid being criticized by outsiders.
Isn’t that the best of both worlds?”
Xie You subconsciously wanted to refute, thinking that Xie Xiu was talking nonsense.
Now that he's adopted into the Luo family, why is he being criticized? Chen Fang hurt him like that, so is he supposed to repay her kindness for raising him?
But before he could open his mouth to refuse, Luo Hongwang said, "That's a good idea!"
He looked at Xie You with a smile, "You'er, you're already a juren. If you can pass the imperial examination and become a jinshi, and then be adopted into the Luo family, it will bring great honor to the Luo family!"
Xie You laughed dryly: "Uncle, it's not that easy to pass the imperial examination."
If he fails to pass the imperial examination, can't he be adopted into the Luo family?
