Chapter 279 Seizing Power 1

When Xia Mengning and Changsun Yun arrived outside the door, they saw that the door was full of people. Xie was supported by Chen's mother and looked at him tremblingly. He looked as if he was very excited.

Xia Chuanyuan looked calm. He couldn't see the joy and anger standing aside and waiting, and the Ge family beside him was also obedient.

Xia Mengning looked at it and smiled slightly. The second room came back, and it was time for Xie to take action!

At this time, a carriage creaked over, followed by two carriages, which stopped in front of everyone in turn.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a middle-aged man in a navy blue shirt came out. This man was Xia Chuanyuan's second brother, Xia Chuansheng.

Xia Chuan gave birth to a carriage. He was very surprised that there was a group of people here picking up the wind for him. When Xie saw Xia Chuansheng, he took a trembling step forward and shouted, "Brung Son!"

Xia Chuansheng suddenly turned his head and saw Xie with tears in his eyes. He hurried forward a few steps, and then suddenly knelt on the ground, "Mother...son...unfilial!"

With that, Xia Chuansheng kowtowed three times in front of Xie.

Xie Shi was so distressed that she hurriedly reached out to help Xia Chuansheng's body.

"Bang Er, you have been outside... suffering over the years..." Xie reached out and touched Xia Chuansheng's face, and his eyes were full of love. Everyone on the scene was moved. Only Xia Chuanyuan had a faint face, and he could not see joy or anger.

Xia Mengning carefully observed the expressions of several people and didn't say anything. She had an idea about Xia Chuan and Xie.

After the luncheon, when the guests left, Xia Chuanyuan returned to Rongfu Hall. At this moment, Rongfu Hall was already full of people. Xia Chuan had a wife and a concubine, as well as two daughters and a son. This family sat in Rongfu Hall, which made Rongfu Hall lively.

Because Xia Chuansheng returned home for the first time after so many years, Xie invited Ge Wei, Xia Mengning and Xia Zhidu to sit in Rongfu Hall, so as to introduce Xia Chuansheng's family.

Xia Mengning looked at Xia Chuansheng sitting next to Xie. He was about thirty-five or sixty-six years old. He looked like Xia Chuanyuan, but he had been wandering outside all year round. Although Xie helped him, he was still inevitably haggard. In addition, Xia Chuansheng was depressed and decadent, more like soaking in wine bottles all day long. Like the people inside, their eyes are high and swollen, and they look weak.

Sitting next to him is Xia Chuansheng's wife, Qian Shi. Qian was married after Xia Chuansheng was exiled. She is just a dilapidated official lady. Qian Shisheng is dignified, but his facial features are flat. He is barely a spiritual person. Maybe he doesn't pay much attention to maintenance. He is less than 30 years old, but he looks like he is no different from Xia Chuansheng. More.

The woman sitting on the embroidery stool on the other side is Liu's concubine of Xia Chuansheng. Liu's concubine took the house before Xia Chuansheng was exiled. Liu's beauty is as soft as a woman in Jiangnan Water Village. No wonder she has been taken by Xia Chuansheng all the time.

Xia Mengning looked at the woman sitting on the other side. The woman was about thirteen years old. She had a plain face with faint eyebrows. Although her eyes were painted with strong eye makeup, she was still small and pitiful. This woman was the daughter of the Qian family, Xia Mengru.

The woman next to Xia Mengru is the daughter of the Liu family. She is half a year younger than Xia Mengru and her name is Xia Mengrong. Xia Mengrong's face follows the Liu family, with a petite and lovely appearance, not to mention accompanying Xia Mengru. Xia Mengru herself is plain, which is even more set off. Xia Mengrong is as beautiful as a flower.

Next to the two women is Xia Zhimeng, the only son of Xia Chuansheng. Xia Zhimeng is sixteen years old, a little older than Xia Mengning. He was born by Liu and was born before Qian entered the door.

As soon as Xia Mengning finished measuring the family, the little girl outside the door shouted, "The old master is here!"

Xia Chuanyuan came in and frowned when he heard the girl's name, but Xie didn't care and said, "Now the baby has also come back. In the future, there will be two masters in this house, so as not to call him wrong, so let's separate."

Xia Chuanyuan frowned, picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of fragrant tea to cover up the uncomfortableness on his face.

Xia Mengning sneered in her heart, but she was not ready to help Xia Chuanyuan. The prime minister has been supported by Xia Chuanyuan himself for so many years. Now that Xia Chuan has come back, he has to get another piece of the pie. No matter how generous Xia Chuanyuan is, Xie's attitude of not even discussion will make him uncomfortable. Right.

Xia Chuansheng's family are very happy. This huge prime minister's mansion is magnificent, and there will be their share in the future.

Xia Chuansheng was happy and hurriedly said to Xia Chuanyuan, "Thank you, brother. I still need my brother to give me some advice in the future."

Qian and Liu on the side also looked happy, and even a few children were overjoyed.

Xia Chuanyuan frowned and lowered his head and said nothing. When Xie saw it, she was very disdainful. In her opinion, Xia Chuansheng came back, and the big and small affairs in this house should be left to Xia Chuansheng. It was not the turn of Xia Chuanyuan to take over the power!

Therefore, Xie directly ignored the displeasure on Xia Chuanyuan's face and said, "In this case, then call the major stewards in the house, so that you can take this opportunity to get to know each other."

Xia Chuanyuan didn't say anything. Xie looked at Chen's mother, and Chen's mother bowed her head and walked out.

After a while, I saw several stewards in the house coming in. Xie Shi smiled and said, "Come on, let me introduce you. This is the second master of our house in the future, and he will also be your master in the future. You all come to know each other and introduce yourself by the way."

Several stewards looked at each other in con's eyes. Looking at Xia Chuanyuan, they did not dare to start.

Xie's face darkened. Seeing that Xia Chuansheng also looked embarrassed, he was even more distressed and hurriedly said, "What, what I said in this house is not easy to use?"

Although he spoke to several stewards, Xie pointed the finger at Xia Chuanyuan.

Xia Chuanyuan raised his head with some uncomfortableness, looked at Xie and said, "Mother, the second brother's family has just returned home from the outside. Don't worry about these things."

Xie's face darkened and he said, "What, are you still afraid that I will favor your second brother? You are the master of this house and the prime minister. Do you still care about your second brother's rights?"

The words are all about teaching Xia Chuanyuan's narrow-mindedness, regardless of brotherhood.

Xia Mengning looked coldly. Xie didn't save face for Xia Chuanyuan in front of so many people. It seemed that Xie really liked her second son and didn't like the eldest son. Xia Mengning curled her lips and thought about what happened to Xia Chuanyuan a few days ago, but did not open her mouth to help him.

It's all made by himself. Besides, Xia Chuanyuan is such a big man. If he can't even do this, then the prime minister will be in vain.

Sure enough, Xia Chuanyuan was also angry. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Xie and said, "Mother, I have the final say in this family. My son respects my mother. My mother is old. It's not appropriate to care about these things anymore. Let's intervene less in the future."

Xia Chuanyuan's words were still a shame for Xie, but Xie was still very angry. When she thought that her baby son had suffered so many years outside and didn't get the right to be the master when she came back, her heart was as uncomfortable as scratching cat claws.

"How do you talk to your elders? Don't you think you can be arrogant if you are the prime minister? I'm your mother. This is your own brother. You even care about your own brother. Are you still a person?"

Hearing this, Xia Chuanyuan's eyes turned red, "Mother, be careful!"

In the two short words, Xia Chuanyuan stared at Xie's family, which contained a lot of warnings and forbearance, which could be seen by people with bright eyes.

Ge Shi was a little scared and looked at Xia Mengning for help. Xia Mengning noticed Ge's eyes, but she didn't look at it. She was going to take action, but it was not at this time. Only after Xia Chuanyuan completely knew Xie's unreasonableness and favoritism for the second wife, he took action again, so that Xia Chuanyuan could remember himself. With your own ability, don't act rashly in the future.

The power of the prime minister's mansion has long been in the hands of her Xia Mengning. Even Xie Shi and Xia Chuanyuan add up, I'm afraid it's also a car with an arm, which is impossible to measure herself.

Xia Mengning lowered her head and took the teacup beside her, gently fiddling with the tea foam on the tea surface, and was leisurely.

When Xia Chuansheng, who was beside him, saw this scene, he was also very anxious. Now that he has just returned home, he has nothing. He is poor and white. There are not many days to count on his mother. Xia Chuanyuan is not willing to give him some power. If it goes on like this, he will have to drink the northwest wind sooner or later.

This doesn't work. I finally came back, but I have to make good use of my mother's relationship and prepare for more oil and water before my mother dies.

Thinking of this, Xia Chuansheng hurriedly looked at Xie Shi for help. His face became more and more aggrieved. It was hard to imagine that a man who was nearly 40 years old asked his mother for help with a pitiful appearance. This not only made people feel that he was useless, but also disgusted.

But Xie Shi was very useful. As soon as she saw her precious pimples like this, she immediately softened her heart. She turned her head and looked at Xia Chuanyuan and threatened, "Listen to me. Just do as I said. If you insist on disobey me, then I will fight for this old life, and I will sue to the emperor. We Xia The family has been an official for generations. I can also say a few words in front of the emperor. At that time, if you put down the label of unfilial piety, it will be too late for you to regret it.

After saying this, Xie didn't realize how abrupt it was. On the contrary, Chen's mother behind her was a little anxious and wanted to remind Xie, but it was too late.

Xia Chuanyuan was shocked, and then there was a strong sadness. Is this his mother? He actually forced himself to obey her in this way. Is his weight in his mother's heart really the same as that of a stranger?

If this matter happens in front of the emperor and you are punished, the Prime Minister's Mansion will also become the target of public criticism. If your mother has been a high-ranking person for a lifetime, she will not even know this weight. It's just that in her mother's heart, it is more important than anything that the second brother can get the power to control the family.

Xia Chuanyuan felt very uncomfortable. There were tears in his eyes. The maid steward and everyone beside him were secretly smacking. This old lady is really too bullying. How can she force the master to obey her in this way for the sake of her youngest son? Isn't this forcing the master to die?

Xia Chuanyuan turned around and said, "Mother, my son firmly disagrees with this matter. He hastily divided the power of the family to the second brother. Most people in the house will not be convinced, so that the house will be in a mess. What's more, it is reasonable that the eldest is inferior, and the son is not sick and has no disaster. Why should he give up the power of the family in plainly?"

After saying that, Xia Chuanyuan stood up and was ready to go out. He didn't want to argue with Xie here.

Xia Chuanyuan made the words clear, which really made Xie a little shameless. Xie was furious and secretly said that this son was really a white-eyed wolf, selfish, and he didn't even give up any power. Thinking of this, she patted the table heavily and stood up and said, "Okay, you don't agree, right? I'll Go to the palace and ask the emperor to give us an explanation.

Xia Chuanyuan's back was stunned, and then turned around. He saw that Xie really stood up and asked his mother Chen beside him to prepare to leave for the palace.

Xia Chuanyuan was really more sad than his heart at this moment. His face was gray. He looked at Xie Shi, but he didn't make a sound or stop him.

This change made everyone present stunned. Xia Mengning looked at it and knew that it was time. Then she slowly put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Dad is standing and doing something. There is no rule in this house to say that the master is driven away by slaves!"

As soon as Xia Mengning opened her mouth, Xie was a little angry. Who is this slave?
