Qi Xiuyuan really wouldn't watch the Xia clan being bullied, so not long after Xia clan left the palace and returned home, the imperial decree of the reward also arrived at the Fan palace.

Qi Xiuyuan named the Xia family a first-class lady of Enguo, on the grounds that she had brought up the king of Rongjun, and he had also brought up the emperor.

In other words, the Xia family was not earned by her son, let alone given by her husband, but earned by herself. Moreover, the title of "Enguo" was the most awarded of the first grade. .

Just because I have raised a nephew, I can get a first-class nephew by helping another nephew when the other nephew is dying. My own son is a super-class prince, still above the marquis, and may be the king of the county in the future. I am really lucky. .

Why don't they have such a nephew?

Fan Siwen has almost become an invisible joke in the official circle. On the contrary, his attitude towards Fan Zijin made him more and more difficult in the officialdom.

Those who embarrassed Fan Siwen because of Duke An Guo saw that Fan Zijin did not intend to seek justice for his father, and Qi Xiuyuan did not intervene, and such things gradually increased.

After all, Fan Siwen's impression in everyone's mind has always been that he favored his concubine and killed his wife, and supported his concubine to suppress his eldest son. No one would think that Fan Zijin had much affection for him, and Fan Zijin left home in the early years because of a standoff with Fan Siwen?

Fan Zijin is Fan Siwen's son. No matter how much he hates him, he can't do anything to his father. This is basic filial piety. road.

With this idea in mind, there should not be too many people who embarrass Fan Siwen in private.

Of course, most of the people who do this are villains, but those upright adults have always been unaccustomed to Fan Siwen's behavior, so for a while, apart from Fan Siwen's better friends, no one really gave him a head start.

If Fan Siwen was annoyed by the embarrassment in the officialdom, then Xia's change made him exhausted.

Xia's temper has always been bad, even a little hot, quarreling with him and arguing with him, he can pick up a whip and chase him around the house twice, if Xia's returning from the palace is arguing with him, Then he has a way of coping.

After all, he has been dealing with this situation for more than 20 years.

But Mr. Xia didn't cry, didn't make trouble, and didn't beat him, but he didn't listen to him anymore, and he didn't even ask for his opinion when he did things.

If it wasn't for the Xia clan to drive Fan Zixiao and others out of Lisong Garden, he would not have known that the Xia clan had changed.

Lisongyuan used to be Fan Zijin's yard, but Fan Zijin moved to Anguo Gong's mansion. The small courtyard where Zixiao's family lived was a little narrow, so he let Zixiao's children live in two Baoshas in Lisongyuan. The courtyard did not move.

But at this time, the Xia Shi didn't even give Zixiao and the others to live in Baoxia, and just drove people out and threw things out.

It's not that Fan Siwen wasn't angry, but when he ran to find Xia Shi, he found that she didn't cry or make trouble, and she didn't argue with reason like before, but just told him lightly with tea, "Lisong Garden is Zijin's yard, No matter whether it is holding the building or sitting down, as long as Zijin is still a part of the family, I will never allow anyone to get involved, Fan Zixiao can live in if you want, you can separate Zijin and settle it."

Fan Siwen's face immediately turned ashen, how is this possible?

Fan Zijin does not go out, he is the father of An Guogong, and Zixiao is the elder brother of An Guogong.

But if they are separated, although he is still the father of Duke Ang, others think that Fan's residence and Duke Ang's residence are two separate families, and the relationship is farther apart, and with his relationship with Zijin, if this son is separated, he wants It is impossible to recognize it again.

Xia Shi seemed to know his concerns, smiled at him, and said, "It doesn't matter if we go out, he is the direct son. According to the laws of the court, he can inherit 70% of the property. Everything in the Fan family should be inherited by Tarra. Although he may not look down on these things now, why should he hand over to others?"

Fan Siwen finally confirmed Xia's abnormality and asked with a frown, "What's wrong with you? What did Zhu Qing tell you?"

Xia Shi smiled slightly and said: "I and the Zhu family are nominally cousins, but we are related, as you know, our blood is close, that is, we live as a family, and I also walk around with the Zhu family as my mother's family, but apart from us In the first few years of your marriage, you didn't seem to have called your eldest brother or second brother very much."

Fan Siwen's face sank, "Sure enough, what did Zhu Qing say? Xiaotong, you have to know that I am your husband and the person closest to you..."

"The person you are closest to is Fan Zixiao," Xia interrupted him, looked up to meet his eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "And the person I am closest to is Zijin."

Fan Siwen was speechless for a moment. His heart was empty for a while, and he always felt that he had lost something important. He turned around and left in a little embarrassment.

The Xia clan was concentrating on consolidating the power in her hands. Now, no one in the whole government dared to neglect her. Even if Fan Siwen was indifferent to her, no one dared to act against her like before, because she not only had a first-class official order, but also great son.

Mrs Xia didn't embarrass her old enemy, Aunt Liu, but pressed Fan Zixiao step by step. Facing Fan Siwen's sullenness, Mrs Xia explained, "I'm teaching him his duty as a concubine, and I don't care how old he is. However, he should not covet the things in Fan's residence that do not belong to him, and it will be very dangerous to cross the line. Speaking of which, he is still in such pain thanks to you."

Xia Shi smiled slightly, "You are always worried that my first-mother will embarrass him and a concubine, so you maintain him everywhere, and even let him pass Zijin to become the most honorable child in the house. I have never felt sorry for him for you before, but I am now But I want to fight for the benefits that my son deserves, so I have to embarrass him."

Fan Siwen would like to ask, so you can't make it for me now?

But looking at Xia Shi's indifferent eyes, Fan Siwen couldn't ask what he said. He was afraid that the answer he would get was not what he wanted.

Fan Siwen lost weight quickly, but after three or four days, he seemed to have changed a person. If it was before, although Xia's mouth was not good, he would definitely worry about his food and clothing, and asked him to ask for medicine. , asking for help, but now it's all gone.

Fan Siwen was silent day by day. Xia Shi originally thought that she would at least feel heartache, but no, she even felt a sense of pleasure in her heart. She really wanted to ask Fan Siwen about her feelings and tell him that she was once tortured by him like this Yes, but she has been alive and well.

In the past, Fan Siwen tortured Xia, but now it is Xia who tortured Fan Siwen. When the couple was tossing with each other, Fan Zijin had long been out of the sea of ??misery. He used to hold injustice for his mother, but now he will not go there at all. Pay attention to the two of them, because he has too many things, and more and more things occupy his mind.

Xiao Xia is more than seven months pregnant. The bigger the belly is, the thinner she looks. But recently, the child has been very lively, and almost every night she kicks the other party and can't sleep.

Fan Zijin was worried and moved to the Qi Mansion, where he lived on the soft couch in the outer room. Whenever there was any movement, he would check it out. When Xiao Xia was moved, he couldn't help but blush. some.
