Xie Qian was depressed in Wenyuan Pavilion for a day. In the afternoon, the Ganqing Palace suddenly spoke, saying that the emperor understood the hard work of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and that the night-time affairs were for the time being for the past few days. Xie Qian finally ushered in a rare holiday. He had already prepared for not going home for several days.

"What should I do when I go back so early?"

Xie Qian thought a little annoyed, "Your Majesty believed Liu Shiyong's words and thought he was sure to win at this moment, but he never thought that if the border war situation develops to the point described by Chen Xi's child, Liu Shiyong is transferred from the mountain, wouldn't the capital be dangerous? But the emperor doesn't care, what should I care about it?"

He felt angry, and Xie Qian was full of resentment and was perfunctory about the things at hand. He calmed down and went home early.

The carriage stopped in front of the Xie Mansion. Xie Qian lifted the curtain and saw a green soft sedan parked at the door. The servants of the Chen Mansion were waiting beside him. After seeing Xie Qian, they saluted respectfully.

Xie Qian's originally deep old face suddenly stretched out, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he felt relieved. His steps were speeding up and he went straight back to his yard.

The Xie family was very happy. It had been a long time since the family had been so lively, and Xie Qian had never looked forward to going home so much.

Xie Qian did not enter the main hall or study room, but went directly to the backyard. As soon as he stepped into the moon gate from the garden, he saw a tall and strong, stupid girl standing in the yard and leaning into the room. Xie Qian looked at the girl, and the girl nodded at Xie Qian and greeted: "Hello, Master!"

Xie Qian had a thought in his mind: When did there be such a girl who didn’t understand the rules at home?

After walking two steps forward, Xie Qian suddenly realized... This girl was not her own, but the maid of the Chen Mansion who accompanied her granddaughter Xie Hengnu back to visit her relatives. However, the maid of the Chen Mansion was so fierce that she didn't look like a daughter's house at all, which made Xie Qian feel surprised.

Xie Qian immediately felt relieved: "What do you care about her? I'm coming back to see Xiao Jun'er, not her maid."

Xie Qian went straight to the room, Zhu Shan stood in the yard and muttered in a low voice: "This master looks kind-hearted. Have I seen him before? I greeted him, why did I ignore me? The young lady was there for a while, why didn't she come out yet? What should I eat when I go back tonight..."

The room was full of joy. The pregnant Xie Hengnu blushed, and his whole body was filled with a vigorous vitality. This was the first time Xie Hengnu returned to the capital and visited his relatives.

Before, Mrs. Xu took her daughter-in-law Shi Xiaojing to the Shen family once, and gave some things politely and explained a few words to Xie Hengnu.

Xie Yun'er felt that her sisters in her boudoir had been depressed. She knew that Xie Hengnu was not with her husband after she became pregnant and felt depressed, so she asked her to go home to take a look.

Xie Hengnu had been living in the Xie Mansion before he was fifteen years old. If he could not go back to his parents' home to see him, it would be too cruel for the little girl.

"Jun'er is so well-behaved, lord...you're back!"

When the whole family gathered, Mrs. Xu finally found the feeling of being a mistress in the family. When she saw her husband, her eyes lit up. She quickly took the hand of her granddaughter and came to her husband with joy, "Master, look at Jun'er. A few years ago, she was a cute little girl, jumping around her knees, and in a blink of an eye, she became pregnant and wanted to be a mother. Time flies so fast!"

Xie Qian's concubine Jin took a few sons to sit aside, looking quite low-key. Shi Xiaojing held her grandson and surrounded her adoptive mother Xie Men Lu, listening to the conversation between Mrs. Xu and Xie Qian.

The family was having fun, and Xie Qian was very satisfied when he saw this scene, but as the head of the family, he had to be reserved. He had just raised his face, but as soon as his eyes fell on his granddaughter's face, he could no longer move away.

Xie Qian cleared his throat and said quietly: "Jun'er, are you back?"

"Yes, grandfather, my husband and I went to Guangdong. I just returned to the capital. Not long after I returned to the capital, my wife asked me to come back and check it out and left before dark!"

Xie Hengnu said timidly.

Xie Hengnu is very attached to her mother's family. After all, she is a little girl. Although she is full of attachment to her husband's wishful husband, she cannot forget her family's care for her.

Among his mother's family, Xie Hengnu and Mrs. Xu are closest. Xie Qian is rarely at home and is always stern and unkind. Although Xie Hengnu respects his grandfather, he is less warm. After a long reunion, Xie Qian has a stern face. No wonder Xie Hengnu answers with a slightly cowardly attitude.

Xie Qian frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "It's rare to come home. You always have to stay overnight before leaving. Go back before dark. What do you think? Chen Xi..."

Xie Qian originally wanted to scold "Chengxi's son-in-law can't do things", but suddenly he thought that Chenxi was still in Xuanfu now and the matter had nothing to do with him, so he seemed to blame the wrong partner. Besides, Chenxi is the husband of his granddaughter. He scolded his grandson-in-law in front of his granddaughter, so he was too confused about being a human being.

Mrs. Xu quickly said, "Master, it's good that Jun'er can come back to see you. Mrs. Chen is a wise person and is very kind to Jun'er. As a wife of the Shen family, Jun'er should naturally regard the Shen family as her family. We hope that her family will be harmonious, so how can we hope that she will come back more? Even if Jun'er wants to stay overnight, we can't accommodate her, so as not to gossip others."

"I thought the master would not come back today, so I sent someone to notify the master before, but I didn't expect that the master would come back now... It's really overjoyed."

Mrs. Xu kept talking, and Xie Qian felt upset, but he was not angry. After all, everything Mrs. Xu said was reasonable. If you hope your granddaughter is good, you shouldn't want your granddaughter to go back to your parents' home often. In this era, the water splashed by a married daughter, and it is definitely not a good thing for her daughter to always go back to her parents' home. She will be stabbed by someone.

Xie Qian's expression was expressed, and he snorted coldly: "What's so strange when you come back? The palace is deserted, how can you be at home? Uh... Madam, can you prepare supper?"

"Master, isn't this just arranging the servants to prepare? There are still servants and maids from the Shen family outside the mansion. Why not call in together and treat them with great enthusiasm?"

When Mrs. Xu saw her granddaughter, she thought the Shen family was very good at doing things, so she reciprocate. In addition to planning to entertain the servants and maids who sent Xie Hengnu back to her parents' home, she also planned to send some gifts to Xie Hengnu for her to take them back to her sisters at home.

Although Mrs. Xu cannot get the care of her husband, the Xie family is the head of the family. Xie Qian basically does not touch money. Even if Jin can get more pampered by Xie Qian, she cannot get the right to speak in the Xie family's inner residence.

Xie Qian nodded: "Okay, then let's arrange it like this."

...

...

The Xie family is in harmony, and laughter continues.

In the front yard, Zhu Shan and two sedan chairmen who sent Xie Hengnu were hosted by the Xie family housekeeper. At the dinner table in the inner yard, Xie Hengnu's pregnancy became the focus of women's attention, and the topics mostly revolve around this. Mrs. Xu has been asking about her well-being, fearing that there would be any inconvenience to her granddaughter in the Shen family, so she dared not tell her family.

Xie Hengnu said: "Grandma, just don't worry. Jun'er is good at anything in the Shen family, just... Brother Qi has been out and can't see anyone, but the wife said Brother Qi will come back soon!"

Xie Hengnu would consciously change his name to Xie Yuner outside because Xie Hengnu was a concubine and she had a low status in the Shen family, but the Shen family basically had no right or inferiority, and even maids could be treated well, let alone Xie Hengnu, who was born in the prime minister's family, who had a deep relationship with Chen Xi?

When it comes to Chen Xi, the whole family couldn't help but look at Xie Qian.

No one knows what happened after Chen Xi went to war. After all, Chen Xi's leadership of troops involved secrets in the army, so the return date naturally needs to be kept confidential.

Xie Qian said coldly: "Shen... Your husband is now making achievements in the border area. Don't worry too much. There is nothing to do for the time being. I guess you will be back in one or two months. You can rest assured to take care of your baby after you go back, at the latest... until the end of the year, I don't expect this war to take too long!"

When Xie Hengnu heard Xie Qian's answer, he nodded with satisfaction, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

In addition to visiting the family, she also had a purpose to help the Shen family ask about the situation of Chen Xi. After all, this information cannot be learned from other channels.

Although Xie Qian didn't say much, there are basically two things that are certain, that is, Chen Xi is safe for the time being, and the border war is about to end, and Chen Xi is about to come back.

Xie Hengnu was smart and smart. After analyzing these two points, he smiled and confidently went back to tell his sister that the whole family would be happy. At that time, she was a great constituent of the Shen family.

Not only can I go back to my parents' home to see my missed grandmother, uncles and aunts, and relatives of the Xie family, but also have an explanation to complete the task and go back to have an explanation, Xie Hengnu felt a little more satisfied.

Mrs. Xu seemed to notice her granddaughter's happiness. When she was old, she learned more and more cleverly. She guessed her granddaughter's worries and couldn't help asking her granddaughter a few more questions: "Master, where is Mr. Shen in the border...? I wonder how the errand was done? Can the court set a date for return?"

Xie Qian wanted to say, and he asked where he was. He didn't go far after Juyongguan. It only took six or seven days to return to the capital. With just a short itinerary, the brat actually walked for a month. At this moment, he made a false claim to the enemy out of nothing and was almost held accountable by the emperor and the court!

But seeing the expectant expression of his granddaughter, Xie Qian hesitated for a moment, smiled and said, "The errand is done well, Your Majesty has rewarded me so much. The Northwest War is coming to an end. He is coming back, maybe it is during the winter moon."

I had said it was the end of the year before, but now I just said it might be the winter month, which was more than a month ahead of schedule. Xie Hengnu knew it and did not interrupt, but he silently wrote it down in his heart and was about to go back and talk to Xie Yuner to listen.

It took more than half an hour to have a family dinner.

Xie Qian did not say anything with a stern face as before, "don't eat or sleep" because he had a lot of things to ask Xie Hengnu. People on the table all picked up food in Xie Hengnu's bowl. Even if Xie Hengnu was a pregnant woman, he could not eat so much at once.

“Eat more!”

Mrs. Xu was still picking up food in Xie Hengnu's bowl and looking for fatty meat food. "Eat well and eat enough to give birth to a good harvest. Don't worry about being fat. When I gave birth to your second uncle..."

"Uh-huh!"

When Xie Qian heard that his wife had left the question, he quickly cleared his throat and gave a brief reminder.

Then Mrs. Xu changed her words: "Only after eating enough, you can have the strength to work!"
