Chapter 735 Let's go back to my parents' home!
The Third Young Master Xie was directly appointed to the Ministry of Personnel, and the news coming from the palace indicated that the Emperor intended for him to gain experience.
Thus, the Xie family, which had been suppressed by the emperor, seemed to be showing signs of regaining their former glory.
In the Xie family head's view, the Emperor's previous dissatisfaction with the Xie family stemmed from the fact that a branch of the Xie family had indeed gone too far. Furthermore, it was because they had dared to interfere in the matter of the 100,000 shi of grain.
Fortunately, some time has passed, and the Emperor still values the Xie family's loyalty to the Great Yong Dynasty over the years, so he intends to give the Xie family a second chance.
In their view, the Xie family was the Crown Princess's maternal family. Now that the Crown Princess was seriously ill, if the Xie family continued to be suppressed by the Emperor, they would probably never have a chance to rise again.
The Crown Princess's health is deteriorating rapidly, and she has become extremely thin.
At this time, news spread that the Emperor had made an exception and allowed Xie San to enter the Ministry of Personnel, which could put the Crown Princess at ease.
Since Duanmu Chuze and Mu Xinnuan left, Duanmu Chen seems to have become increasingly busy.
As for what they're busy with, probably no one in the backyard of the Prince An's mansion knows.
Xie San finally entered the court smoothly. Duanmu Chuze, who was far away in Yanzhou, nodded with a smile after receiving the news, and was finally relieved.
As for the Xie family, some were jealous of Xie San's entry into the court, while others had even more absurd thoughts.
They felt that the Emperor intended to give the Xie family an important position, first promoting Xie San, who was not particularly prominent, and then naturally favoring the direct descendants of the Xie family.
Therefore, the eldest and second sons of the Xie family were indulging in sweet dreams in their own world of pleasure.
These two legitimate sons of the Xie family are not incompetent fools.
However, they were used to being arrogant and did not think that someone of their status could be compared to a mere illegitimate son.
Therefore, even though Xie San had obtained a rank, the two of them still didn't take him seriously.
The two brothers didn't value him, but the Xie family head valued Xie San highly.
No matter what, he is still his own son. Now that he has just entered the court, there are bound to be some things he doesn't understand. Therefore, he would talk to Xie San alone in the study every day and give him some pointers.
Xie San did indeed learn things from his father that he hadn't learned from Lord Jiang, such as the ways of being an official.
The Xie family head actually had a long-term vision.
Firstly, this is his own son. Whether he becomes successful in the court or makes a mistake in the future, people will inevitably think of him as his father.
As the saying goes, if a child is not taught, it is the father's fault.
Similarly, if a son is too outstanding, it is impossible for him, as the father, not to have contributed to the success.
Furthermore, although Xie San has entered the Ministry of Personnel, he is now quite certain that the Emperor will probably not give important positions to other members of the Xie family for the time being.
In fact, the fact that his position had never changed was already an extraordinary favor from the emperor.
The head of the Xie family was older and more experienced, so he was naturally not as naive as his two sons, who thought that the direct descendants of the Xie family were the ones the emperor valued.
Who is the emperor?
A wise and benevolent ruler.
He values the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, but that doesn't mean he only considers legitimate and illegitimate children in his personal conduct and official duties!
The emperor valued character and talent more.
Now, all indications suggest that his third son is the most outstanding among the Xie family's descendants of this generation.
Even if the emperor refuses to give important positions to other members of the Xie family in the future, at least in this generation, there is still Xie San, whom the emperor has taken a liking to.
Madam Xie was naturally somewhat unhappy that her husband was sparing no effort in teaching this illegitimate son.
But no matter how unwilling she was, there was nothing she could do.
The only way to make her feel better is to secretly think of ways to torment her.
That day, Xie San returned to the mansion early and went straight to his bedroom without informing anyone.
As soon as he entered, he saw his wife sitting on the couch, her wet nurse gently applying a hot towel to her face, tears welling in her eyes.
“Miss, although you are not as wealthy as Madam Xie, you have always been the apple of your master's eye since you were a child. When have you ever been bullied like this? Madam Xie really doesn't treat you like a human being. It's only been a few days, look at your legs!”
"It's alright, wet nurse, don't worry. It's just a little bruised, nothing serious."
"How can you say nothing will happen? Miss, you and your husband haven't been married long. What if you get pregnant during this time? How can we withstand Madam putting you through all this trouble?"
Madam Yu smiled bitterly, "Never mind. It's not easy for my husband out there either. You should hurry up and finish applying the dressing, then take all the things away so that he won't see them when he comes back."
"Miss, you always put the young master first, but does he know all the grievances you've suffered?"
"Even if we knew, what could we do? She is his legal mother. How could we disrespect her? My husband has only just entered the court. At this time, we absolutely cannot allow any words that might damage his reputation to spread."
"Miss!" The wet nurse looked up and saw the young master standing in front of the floor screen, and fell silent for a moment.
Seeing her strange expression, Yu turned around and naturally saw Xie San as well.
"Why are you back so early today, my husband?"
As Ms. Yu spoke, she began to get down.
Xie San quickly stepped forward and helped her up, saying, "Don't move! Let me see."
Xie San looked at his wife's knee, which was bruised and purple, and his eyes welled up with tears. Although he said he would take good care of her, he couldn't possibly stay by her side every hour of the day.
"Nanny, go pack your things. I will personally escort the young mistress back to her parents' home. If anyone asks, just say that the young mistress is feeling unwell and wants to stay at her parents' home for a while."
"Yes, uncle."
"Husband?"
“My wife, listen to me. I will personally take you back. I will have lunch and dinner at my father-in-law’s every day. Please remember to tell my mother-in-law so that she will cook for me.”
"How could that be?" Yu Shi laughed out loud with tears in her eyes.
“There are some things I can’t confront directly, but that doesn’t mean I can let her bully you as she pleases. I’ve said it before, you shouldn’t hide anything from me. Also, before you left, you dealt with those two first-class maids in our room. I don’t want to see them again.”
Yu was taken aback, but the wet nurse beside her stiffened for a moment, and a smile appeared on her face.
"they?"
"Do as I say. Send them somewhere I can't see them. If they cause trouble, send them directly to the madam and let her deal with them."
Ms. Yu nodded somewhat blankly, not understanding what was going on.
When Xie San went outside to instruct people to prepare the carriage, the wet nurse whispered a few words in her ear, and Yu Shi understood, her expression changing slightly.
