Chapter 221 - 221-Run
When they were of the same generation, the chief of the household would be the one who accepted the gift from Xiao Baoxin, but instead gave it to others.
Cai Wei had already investigated the various concubines thoroughly. Madam Wang had given birth to three golden flowers, but the concubines had all given birth to sons. However, they would not bring their illegitimate sons along to show off in such an occasion. Madam Cai of the second branch had two daughters and a son. The eldest son had gone out to study when he was in his teens. After he got married, he left his daughter-in-law at home to continue studying. His two daughters were Xie Chan and Xie Juan, twin sisters. They looked down on Xiao Baoxin as if they were injected with chicken blood.
However, since Xiao Baoxin had married into the Xie family, he had to kick him out first. He didn’t want to kick anyone, so he had prepared all the gifts.
Xie Shan took the gilded box and pursed her lips. She opened it and saw that it was a coral bat hairpin. However, she had plenty of such things.
However, after being reprimanded by Madam Wang and in front of Mother Xie, she didn’t flare up. She only thanked her calmly.
After giving the gifts, Mother Xie called Xiao Baoxin to sit beside her. Xiao Baoxin did not refuse and half of his body was placed on the couch, making Mother Xie so happy.
They either said that good looks were rare and rare, and the more they looked, the more they liked to look.
Her eyes were so big, her skin was so good, and it felt so smooth.
Xiao Baoxin accurately heard Mother Xie’s thoughts and almost burst out laughing. The old madam loved her and praised her so much that she couldn’t be more beautiful.
“When I’m old, 1 like to have fun. In the future, if there’s nothing to do, 1’11 visit Grandmother more often.”
Even though Xie Shan had been reprimanded by Madam Wang, she could not help but say,”Grandmother, I often look for you to play, but you find me annoying. Why did you ask her to come again the moment she entered the house? With her temper, I hope she won’t make Grandmother angry.”
She felt that the rest of her words were very deep and did not say it to slap her brother’s face.
Was Xiao Baoxin a good person? The young masters of aristocratic families would beat her up whenever they spoke. When she was young, she had been beaten up. When she was older, she had been scolded. Then, she had even seen Xiao Baoxin force Yuan Jiuniang to drink with her own eyes.
She couldn’t stop her brother from welcoming such a fiendish person into the house. She might not be able to be the king of her family, but she shouldn’t come out and cause trouble to other families!
“Yo, why is there a jealous one?”Mother Xie smiled as if she didn’t understand. “Grandmother dotes on you as well. When did she ever find you annoying? 1 took her joke seriously. Grandmother knows that you care about her. But you said that you’re also a wife who’s about to get married. Don’t you have to prepare a dowry and learn how to be a butler…
Married to someone else’s family is different from your own family. You still have a lot to adapt to. Even if Grandmother wanted to, she couldn’t delay your business, right?”
Madam Wang interjected,” Old Lady heard her talking nonsense. My wife also saw that she was about to get married and was reluctant to let her go, so she let her control her. It seems that after today, we should really discipline her well. Otherwise, marrying into her in-laws ‘family would make our Xie family look like we have no rules.”
It was obvious that Xie Shan was afraid of her biological mother. As soon as her biological mother spoke, she wilted and didn’t dare to talk back.
If the Xie family had rules, would they still marry Xiao Baoxin?
Her father had said that the Xie family had no rules, and now he was using the rules to criticize her!
“Second Mother is a sensible person, and her mouth is likable. The best thing is that she doesn’t hold grudges. However, this is likable in our own family. She’s straightforward and doesn’t have any crooked intentions. However, when it comes to her in-laws, I’m afraid that her personality won’t be likable. Third daughter-in-law, you have to spend more effort to teach her.”As she spoke, Mother Xie was also worried.
This child was just like his third son. He was really likable when he was likable, but he was also good at provoking people.
“Yes, daughter-in-law will definitely teach her well.”
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started talking about Xie Shan, Xiao Baoxin stole a glance at Xie Xian, only to see him looking back at her. When their eyes met, he smiled gently, and his eyes were filled with spring water again.
At this moment, Madam Yuan arrived late with Xie Wan. Before they could sit down, she was teased by Mother Xie.
“Why? Your son is getting married, and your mother is too excited. She didn’t sleep well the whole night and only got up now?”
Madam Wang:” Even my aunt was so happy that she spent half the night getting excited about the marriage of Xuanhui, let alone my sister-in-law. She must be as excited as the old lady said.””
“Old Lady and Sister-in-law only know how to laugh at me.”Madam Yuan smiled. “You don’t even want to be beautiful in secret. You want everyone to know.”
“Mother is well.” Xiao Baoxin and Xie Xian hurriedly stood up and greeted him.
Madam Yuan waved her hand to signal them to get up. She glanced around and said indifferently,”Second Sister-in-law hasn’t come over yet. Is something bothering you?”
Madam Wang pursed her lips into a smile. How could Madam Yuan have woken up late and rushed over now? She had clearly come on time. She was afraid that if she came early, Xie Xian and his wife would not be here, which would make her seem unruly.
He had waited until now. He was clearly angry that the Cai family of the second branch did not know how to appreciate favors and left him here.
She couldn’t take it anymore and personally picked out the matter.
The Yuan family had never been a soft-hearted and soft-faced person. Their methods were endless. Back then, when Servant Xie was not dead, the Yuan family was in charge of the food. They had been controlled many times.
The Cai family had a deep relationship with the Xiao family.
Initially, Madam Cai felt ashamed that the daughter of a concubine of the Cai family had married into a family like the Xiao family. She did not expect that the Cai and Xiao families would fall out in the end and cause a commotion. As a result, the Cai family suffered a lot and was even ridiculed because of this matter.
Although the Cai family was no longer the same as before, the Cai family’s self-esteem had grown year by year and was about to explode.
The most important thing in Lady Yuan’s life was her children’s marriage. Madam Cai actually dared to embarrass her on this matter. Her courage had grown. She was fat.
“Men, go to the second room and see if Madam has something to do.”Mother Xie instructed.
Zhilan was clever and clever, so she took the initiative to accept the order. Before the time it took to brew half a cup of tea had passed, he hurriedly rushed back.”Second Madam is not feeling well. She said that her stomach hurts and she is vomiting…”
Everyone in the room looked at each other.
“Then hurry up and call the doctor over.”Mother Xie had a vague feeling.
Lady Wang then belatedly instructed the maid behind her to quickly invite the doctor into the residence to take a look, but she was not happy.
He sent someone to call a doctor, but Xie Xian and Xiao Baoxin couldn’t delay meeting their elders.
Although there was only one more Madam Yuan, Mother Xie still invited everyone to the main room in the hall.
Mother Xie and Lady Yuan had prepared a lot of gifts. Madam Wang was even more unhappy. It was just a son marrying a wife. Was it necessary? It was as if he had married an ancestor. Why was she afraid that she would go back on her word?
He had already taken out his trump card. Who didn’t have a son?!
Pei, of the three wives in the family, she was the only one who did not have a son!
After greeting them, they sat down and chatted for only two and a half sentences when the eldest daughter-in-law of the second branch rushed over with the baby in her swaddling clothes. Before she sat down, she hurriedly explained,
“Today is big uncle’s day of great joy. Ah Niang’s body is not feeling well, so she couldn’t come personally. She felt bad, so she sent me to hurry over to celebrate big uncle and let me and Ah Lang share his uncle’s joy..”
