Chapter 414 Suspicion about the reason for drunkenness
The two sisters definitely cannot go back to the palace in this state. If they go back and Xie Su finds out, she will definitely be worried about them.
So the two sisters can only stay in Xie’s house tonight.
Xie Liu personally rode a horse to escort their carriage back to Xie Mansion.
Fortunately, Hong Xing, Dong Mei and the others are all here and can take good care of their master.
Whether it was Hong Xing or Dong Mei, they looked at their drunken master and tears welled up in their eyes.
This...how did the lady become like this?
Who let them drink?
Mrs. Xie Dasao and Mrs. Xie Ersao also heard the noise and came over from their respective courtyards.
Seeing the two drunk sisters-in-law, the two sisters-in-law frowned.
"Dongmei, Hongxing, help your young lady in and take good care of her."
"Yes."
"Yes."
The two maids were very tactful. They brought the little maid up and helped their respective ladies back to take good care of them.
Mrs. Xie was worried and followed to check.
Mrs. Xie stayed in the front yard to deal with the matter.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Commander, with my two younger sisters." Although Xie Liu is the Xie family's secret guard, they are under the command of Xie Lin.
Now that Xie Lin has become the emperor, Xie Liu has also become the commander-in-chief of the imperial court.
He is already a high-ranking official.
Mrs. Xie could no longer take advantage of the fact that he used to be a servant of the Xie family and call Xie Liu by his name without regard for etiquette.
Xie Liu shook his head slightly.
"It was my fault that I failed to supervise my subordinates and let them serve the two young ladies wine."
"This matter has nothing to do with you. We know what kind of personality Yunying has."
Although Mrs. Xie was troubled by her drunk sister-in-law, she would not blame anyone else for the crime.
"I still have to thank the commander for helping to escort them home."
It would be better if they were not sent to the palace so that their mother-in-law and grandmother would not know that they were drunk.
Xie Liu nodded slightly and did not stay in the Xie family for long.
After he turned around and left the Xie Mansion, Mrs. Xie immediately ordered all the servants in the house to keep their mouths shut.
If anyone dares to reveal the fact that Xie Yunying and the others came back drunk, don't blame her for being ruthless.
Mrs. Xie's attitude is consistent with Xie Liu's.
It’s not that they are particularly vicious, but for unmarried girls who haven’t met anyone yet, if people knew that they came back drunk from outside, it would do great harm to their reputation.
As the eldest daughter-in-law and sister-in-law of the Xie family, Mrs. Xie must take good care of the reputation of her two sisters-in-law.
The butler understood and turned around to instruct the others.
Only then did Mrs. Xie turn around and go to Xie Yunyao's yard.
Xie Yunyao was very well behaved after getting drunk. When Mrs. Xie came in, Hong Xing had already changed her into clean clothes, helped her wash her face and hands, and let her lie on the bed to sleep.
"How is Yunyao?"
Mrs. Xie asked.
Hong Xing knelt down and saluted, "Madam, the young lady has just gone to bed."
"Well, did she say anything? Did she complain of a headache?"
Mrs. Xie was very worried.
After all, this was the first time the well-behaved sister-in-law got drunk.
Although she didn't know what the exact cause was, she still had to take good care of her and prevent her from feeling physically uncomfortable.
"No, ma'am."
"it is good."
Mrs. Xie gave Hong Xing a few more instructions before turning around and leaving.
Mrs. Xie also happened to come out of Xie Yunying's room.
Compared to Mrs. Xie, her expression was much more solemn.
When Mrs. Xie saw the look on her sister-in-law's face, she knew something was wrong.
There were other servants in the house following behind him, and it was not convenient to talk about his sister-in-law in front of them.
"His second aunt, Wenhao and Huanhuan's wedding will be held in a few days. I have prepared some things for them. Can you help me see if there is anything missing?"
Mrs. Xie found an excuse and called Mrs. Xie to her yard.
Second sister-in-law Xie also understood the eldest sister-in-law's intention.
"it is good."
The two sisters-in-law came to Mrs. Xie's yard. Mrs. Xie asked the servants to leave first, and her personal maid went to get some tea and snacks.
After everyone was sent away by her, she looked at Mrs. Xie and asked her bluntly what was going on.
"What happened to Yunying?"
"Why did they come back so drunk?"
Mrs. Xie concluded that Mrs. Xie knew something.
Second Sister Xie had no intention of deceiving her eldest sister-in-law. After hearing her eldest sister-in-law's question, she nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm not too sure about this either."
"Ok?"
"I heard Yunying say that."
Second Sister Xie thought about how she had followed Xie Yunying because she was worried, and she happened to see Xie Yunying vomiting, and Dongmei was busy cleaning up.
She helped Xie Yunying into the room and lay down on the bed.
When Xie Yunying was asked to lie down, she heard her murmuring a man's name as if in her sleep.
She said she liked him very much...
"Man? Who is it?"
Mrs. Xie's expression changed slightly, and her face suddenly darkened. "Does Yunying have a man she likes?"
"She got drunk in the afternoon just for that man?"
"Who is this person? Do we know him?"
Mrs. Xie thought about the man that Xie Yunying liked. He was really abominable. How noble was Yunying's status? He actually dared to let Yunying get drunk outside for him...
What qualifications does this man have?
"Sister-in-law..."
There was something wrong with Mrs. Xie's expression.
"what happened?"
Mrs. Xie noticed, "Could this person be someone we know? Does he already have a family?"
It’s not Mrs. Xie’s fault for making wild guesses, but she really would never have dreamed that Xie Yunying would like Xie Liu.
"No, I don't have a family, but my status is not suitable either."
Mrs. Xie hesitated and didn't know how to say it for a moment.
Mrs. Xie looked at her quietly, waiting for her to speak.
Mrs. Xie sighed, and finally said softly, "I heard Yunying say that she really likes Sixth Brother..."
"Sixth brother?"
Mrs. Xie didn't react for a moment to who this Sixth Brother was.
But she was only stunned for a moment, and the next moment, she came to her senses.
"Xie Liu? The current commander-in-chief in front of the emperor?"
Mrs. Xie's tone was full of disbelief.
"Yes."
Second Sister-in-law Xie actually couldn't believe it, but she still had to admit that what the eldest sister-in-law said was the truth.
Xie Yunying just likes Xie Liu.
And it seems to be unrequited love?
However, Mrs. Xie did not dare to say this.
Unrequited love is really too cruel for a girl, so Mrs. Xie was unwilling to believe it and did not want such a thing to happen to her sister-in-law.
Mrs. Xie stood up and then fell back onto the stool.
"How... is this possible?"
It’s not that Mrs. Xie didn’t believe what her sister-in-law said, but she also thought it was outrageous.
There are so many good men in Chang'an, why does the sister-in-law like everyone but Xie Liu?
Of course, she wasn't saying that Xie Liu was a bad person, she just simply felt that these two people were the kind of people who had nothing in common.
