Xie Jingyu and Xie Shi'an returned to their homes at the same time.
The father and son exchanged glances and went straight to Yun Chou's sheng residence.
"Husband can be considered back." Yun Chu's face is cold, "I just had someone re-investigate the curse matter thoroughly, it is indeed Aunt He's doing, what does Husband think, what should be done about it?"
Xie Shi An squeezed his fingers, "Mother, send Aunt He away."
As early as two months ago, he wanted his father to send He out of the Xie family, but He preferred to stay and gave birth to so many things.
Stay any longer and there's no telling what will happen ...
"Send her to the manor." Xie Jingyu spoke, "Let her be a companion to Brother Dan."
Yun Chou picked up a few letters from the table and handed them over, "When searching Bi He Yuan, the underlings searched these things, I don't know if Husband has seen them?"
Xie Jingyu didn't know why she suddenly changed the topic, suspiciously took the things over, he swept a glance and his face changed violently.
Xie Shi'an glanced at it and his expression froze.
This is an exchange of letters between He and his maternal grandfather's family, from previous years!
He had asked He to burn them long ago, so why was he still searching for them.
"Seeing how husband and Ange'er look, they should have already known Aunt He's identity." Yun Chu turns around and picks up a few embroidered handkerchiefs from the desk, "A while ago, Aunt He embroidered something and put it up for sale, a merchant bought it in a big way and sent people to Xie's house to inquire about Aunt He, I didn't know why at that time, but only when I see these letters now do I understand that, as it turns out, Aunt He is actually the direct granddaughter of the court's Household Minister, Lord He, from twenty years ago! All those embroidered handkerchief stitches of hers seem to be unique stitches only found in the He family! If I can find out something, can't someone else?"
Xie Jingyu's entire body was a bit unsteady.
Surprisingly, someone was checking on He's identity, what did that mean, it meant that someone had their eyes on the Xie family and suspected that He was related to the He family from more than twenty years ago!
Although the He family's accident was more than twenty years ago, and the imperial court did not prohibit the He family's descendants from marrying, once he got involved with the aftermath of the crime and was impeached by the imperial court, his career would definitely be affected.
If he is not in the Ministry of Household as an official is okay, other people will not say anything even if they are suspicious.
But he is the fifth grade Household Department Langzhong, but took the granddaughter of the Minister of the Household Department of that year as an aunt, the court will not think that he followed the He family corruption and bribery ...
And over this period of time, in order to put together Ping's dowry, he had indeed collected a lot of things that he shouldn't have.
"There is a law in this dynasty, if you form a marriage with a sinful minister afterward, you must report to the court." Yun Chou said in a single word, "Looking at husband, I think he didn't report to the court."
Xie Jingyu closed his eyes.
How would he dare to appeal to the court, it is not looking for trouble himself.
When he met He, he only knew her name as He Ling Ying, and had no idea that she was a descendant of the He family until Ping Sister's birth, when she spilled the beans on her origins.
At that time, he and her deep affection, and has not yet entered the dynasty as an official, did not take He's identity seriously, hidden from the old lady to buy a mansion, He's as a foreign room as raised, immediately gave birth to Ange'er, and then went on to give birth to the but brother'er.
For so many years, no one had ever suspected He's identity, and even he himself had gradually forgotten what He's original surname was.
But now, someone was checking on He, and there was no way he could fool himself anymore.
He sank a breath and said, "A concubine is just a concubine, there's no need to report to the court, she made a mistake, it's just the right time to send her out, send her far away to the south and north as long as the Xie family draws a clear line between her and the Xie family, even if her identity comes to light, it won't affect the Xie family."
He finished and looked to his eldest son at his side.
Xie Shi'an's lips were tightly pursed and his fingers clenched into fists.
After a long time, determination permeated his face, "Then send it away from afar, as father said."
As long as He is gone, even if someone wants to check her identity again, it is very difficult to check again, even if it is checked, at that time, the Xie family and He no longer have any relationship ... He will secretly protect He, so that she has no worries in the rest of her life.
"Do you all think that it will be alright after Aunt He leaves?" Yun Chu lowered her eyes, "In fact, Aunt He is the real mother of An Ge'er Dan Ge'er and Ping Sister'er, right?"
Xie Jingyu froze violently.
He's identity was exposed not to mention that even the identities of An Ge'er's siblings were known by Yun Chou.
She was so calm, she obviously knew about it already, so why didn't he notice it in the slightest?
Xie Shi An didn't expect to hear this at all, many thoughts flashed through his mind, the last one seemed to him heartfelt, "He is only a birth grace to me, mother you are my true mother."
Xie Jingyu swallowed a mouthful of air and said, "Ma'am, things are not what you think, although He is the children's mother, I have never thought that there is anything more between me and her, if it wasn't for the accident at the last banquet, she would have always been just a servant of the Xie mansion, not Aunt He, please don't have any hard feelings in your heart, ma'am."
"There's no point in talking about this now, Husband should still think about what to do about Aunt He's matter." Yun Chu heads out, "I'm going to check on the old madam."
As soon as she left, Xie Jingyu fell into a chair.
Walking to Anshou Hall, before entering the house, Yun Chu heard Xie Ping talking, "Aunt He, she couldn't have done such a thing, even if she really wanted to be the mother of the house, she couldn't have cursed the old lady and grandmother ah, this is surely planted and framed, there must be a hidden agenda, old lady, arrange for someone to re-check it again!"
The old lady crooked herself on the couch and drank the medicine before saying, "Sister Ping'er, do you have to defend He?"
"Old madam, you don't know." Yun Chu came in from the doorway, "Aunt He is Ping'er's real mother, so of course she has to defend her own mother, and there's nothing wrong with that."
Xie Ping turned her head violently, "Mother, mother ..."
"Chu'er, what are you babbling about." The old lady's fingers froze for a moment, then she said as if nothing had happened, "Ping'er's real mother died long ago, and now you are her mother!"
"An Ge'er has already told me that Aunt He is the real mother of the three siblings." Yun Chu's expression is light, "I just don't know, does the old lady know He's original identity?"
With a boom, Xie Ping felt thunder in her ears, and her body slid downward somewhat out of control.
Before she could react to the previous sentence, the next one immediately afterward left her even less able to react, and she held onto her maid's hand to keep herself from falling to the ground.
The old lady's brow wrinkled, "What status could He have other than being an aunt of the Xie family?"
Her mind is still pondering the last sentence, the grandson in-law has learned that He is the real mother of several children, it is estimated that it will make a scene, because at first it was said that Ange's own mother died, so that the grandson in-law admitted the three children to become the first son of the ... Now that the person who has died has become an aunt of the house, the grandson in-law will certainly feel cheated by the Xie family, and it will not be good if it makes a scene to the Cloud family ...
While her old man was thinking about seven or eight things, she heard Yun Chou say, "He's grandfather, is He Tao, Lord He, the Minister of Households of the imperial court more than twenty years ago, the one who caused the beheading of all the men above the age of seven of the three clans because of corruption and bribery."
