Tu Jiaojiao nodded. She was worried that the other party would hold a grudge against her, which gave her a headache.

To be on the safe side, the mother and daughter checked all the gifts sent by the Zhu family together, and asked the maid who knew about medicinal herbs to check them carefully.

There is nothing wrong with the gifts, they are all good things.

Especially the clothes, shoes and socks, which are made very finely and you can tell at a glance that a lot of thought has been put into them.

Tu Jiaojiao looked at the fine stitches and couldn't help but sigh, "She really took the trouble."

Liu Zhichun couldn't help but sigh: "If she wants to survive, she will naturally have to put in more effort."

Xie Yi also wrote two letters, one to Xie Xiu and one to Xie Rou.

Tu Jiaojiao opened the letter from Xie Rou and made sure that the content was correct before giving it to her daughter.

Xie Yi was very sensible and did not reveal her own difficulties in the letter or beg Xie Rou to save her. She only talked about some interesting things in her life and asked how Xie Rou was doing.

So Tu Jiaojiao didn't dislike her.

As for the letter Xie Yi wrote to Xie Xiu, she did not open it until Xie Xiu returned, then she gave him the letter intact.

Xie Xiu opened the letter and took a look, then handed it to Tu Jiaojiao without hesitation.

After reading this, Tu Jiaojiao understood more clearly the difficult situation Xie Yi was in.

Shay is pregnant.

Then she took the initiative to find two concubines for her husband.

One wife is a maid who has served Zhu Huan for many years, and the other wife is Zhu Huan's cousin.

Both of them had a deep friendship with Zhu Huan and were very beautiful.

Xie Yi did not complain too much in the letter, but Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao were not stupid people.

Just look at what she said. After she became pregnant, she took the initiative to find two concubines for Zhu Huan. One of them was Zhu Huan's personal maid who had served him for many years, and the other was Zhu Huan's cousin. Both of them had a deep friendship with Zhu Huan.

You can guess how difficult Xie Yi's life was in the Zhu family.

If the Zhu family cared about her, they would not be so impatient to let Zhu Huan take two concubines at this time.

However, considering Xie Yi's current status, he couldn't blame the Zhu family for being heartless.

The two of them were originally a union of interests. Zhu Huan married her only for Xie Yun's connections and support. Now that Xie Yun was convicted and exiled, Xie Yi naturally had no value to the Zhu family.

If it weren't for Xie Xiu, his blood brother, and Xie Ying, his niece who was granted the title of county lord, Xie Yi's life in the Zhu family would have been even more difficult.

She had lost her value, yet she was still Zhu Huan's wife, so she was naturally an eyesore.

However, she was now pregnant, which gave her some leverage. As long as she could maintain her relationship with Xie Xiu, the Zhu family would naturally not touch her.

Tu Jiaojiao asked Xie Xiu, "What do you think? Do you want to help her?"

"I don't have a sister." Xie Xiu laughed sarcastically, "But if she knows her place, we can treat each other as fellow villagers."

When he left the Xie Mansion, Xie Yi was still a little kid. Because she was a concubine's daughter and was raised by Concubine Liu, she was very inconspicuous in the mansion.

Naturally, he didn't have much impression of this half-sister.

At that time, he not only had to study hard, but also had to always take care of his stepmother Chen Fang. How could he get close to his half-sister and actively provoke his stepmother's displeasure?

When Xie Yi returned to the Xie Mansion, she had grown up. Not only was it impossible for her to take the initiative to get close to him, but he also had to be wary of this concubine sister, worried that she would use him to seek credit with Chen Fang.

I guess Shay was also on guard against him.

If she hadn't been truly desperate, she probably wouldn't have had the audacity to write a letter asking for help.

Since the two parties are not born of the same mother, there is no brother-sister relationship.

Now that he has severed his relationship with Xie Yun, it is naturally impossible for him to recognize this half-sister again.

However, if the other party is willing to make friends, he should not be too extreme and bring himself unnecessary enemies and troubles.

Tu Jiaojiao asked again, "So, what do you think we should give as a return gift? The gift the Zhu family sent this time is quite valuable."

As she spoke, she took out the gift list and asked Xie Xiu to take a look.
