Chapter 529 - It’s Possible That You Become The Princess Consort!
Back then, Xie Niushan really liked Ms. Lin.
She was gentle. When she spoke, she was like a mosquito. Her voice was so soft that it was charming.
It was a pity that her life was short. Otherwise, he would have promised to bring her to the capital to be the wife of an official. How would he have married that spendthrift, Ms. Lu?
"What he said is true," Xie Pinggang added.
Old Master Lin sighed.
After all, his daughter was blessed. After marrying such a person, if he doted on her and loved her, it would not matter if he was a bandit. However, she pa.s.sed away after giving birth to the children.
Old Master Lin reached out and took the tea. He drank it.
Only then did Xie Niushan get up.
He was still thinking about Ms. Peng. When he thought about Ms. Peng, he took two more glances at Lin Yaxiang.
This sister-in-law of his had Ms. Peng"s character back then, but she was not as good-looking as his late wife.
"We came all the way here today, firstly to welcome General Xie home, and secondly to meet him. We"re families of in-laws, so we should know what each other looks like. Now that we"ve met, we won"t stay any longer. If anything happens in the future, it"ll be convenient for the Young Master and the Young Lady to visit." The old man"s heart was filled with mixed feelings. After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave.
Xie Qiao knew that this old man needed some time to calm down.
Thus, she happily stood up to send off the guests.
After a while, everyone left. Xie Pinghuai and Xie Xi stayed behind today.
Xie Niushan was confused. He muttered, "This Lin family"s Eldest Aunt is quite shrewd."
"Father, don"t talk about my Aunt Lin. She"s amazing!" Xie Pinghuai was upset.
Xie Niushan pursed his lips. Who would he harm to have said a few words?
He would just keep quiet, then. What was the big deal? She was not an immortal anyway, so he did not care!
"I"ve just come home. I don"t know what happened at home. Why are all the people outside congratulating me? What did you guys do?" Xie Niushan asked.
"It should be about Eldest Brother"s promotion. They know that you don"t know what happened yet, so they just want to congratulate you," Xie Qiao said.
"I know about the promotion, don"t I? Didn"t he get promoted before I left?" Xie Niushan could not understand.
"He"s been promoted again." Xie Qiao beamed. "Eldest Brother is now a sixth-grade official, and his position at the criminal division is no longer the same as before."
After saying this, Xie Niushan"s old face trembled. "I went for a trip and spent so much effort to get promoted. How did you get promoted again in the blink of an eye? A sixth-grade official. Did you give the Emperor immortal pills?!"
Xie Pinggang did not look at him.
As his father, he was jealous of his son. Did he have no shame?
"Thanks to my Eldest Sister, I picked up a big case for nothing. More than a hundred people died in that case, so the superiors rewarded me." Xie Pinggang was very honest.
He was pretty great. He had solved many cases at the criminal division.
However, the cases were small, unlike the big case of the Zhou family, which had shocked the world.
"Father, you said that your position is different now. Did you also get promoted?" Although Xie Qiao asked that, she already knew.
Before her father left, she had predicted it.
"Of course. Your Father is now a front military general. In the past, the t.i.tle of general was just to coax people. Now, this is what proper military power is. If there"s any war in the future, I can speak up in the imperial court. If I make a meritorious contribution, I might even be conferred a n.o.ble t.i.tle!" Xie Niushan had good expectations at that moment.
"That"s great." Xie Qiao nodded.
Xie Pinggang was also in a good mood.
"With our Father"s official position s.h.i.+fted, it will be easier for you to get a husband.. If you are in good health, it"s possible that you… can become the Princess Consort!" Xie Pinggang sighed.
