Chapter 490 - 490: Dead
This was a clear sign that she was standing on Xiao Baoxin’s side. Madam Xie put her heart back into her stomach.
She took advantage of Madam Yuan’s lack of attention and glared fiercely at Xiao Baoxin. Fortunately, Madam Yuan was a reasonable person. If she was someone who wanted to save her face, wouldn’t she vent all her anger on her daughter?
What a heartless fool!
Xiao Baoxin smiled at Madam Xie and gave her a look.
Only then did Madam Yuan hold onto Madam Xie’s arm.””The dishes haven’t been served yet, and this happened. Now that we know that there’s nothing wrong here, let’s go back and continue eating. There would be singing and dancing later. There were many entertainment programs, and the in-law’s wife would have to attend.”
In fact, as long as she was sure that Madam Yuan was not angry with her daughter, she would give her as much face as she wanted, let alone honor her.
The two in-laws held hands and left.
Madam Yuan had already figured it out, but the rumors had already spread in the main house. Rumors always spread faster than the wind. Especially when everyone saw that Madam Yuan from the Chu family had disappeared, it further confirmed the private rumors.
The Xie and Chu families were definitely going to make a scene.
Otherwise, how could he miss his sister’s birthday?
As for Wang Shiwu’s mother…Really? There was actually such a scandal?
Those who hadn’t heard of it were passing the rumor face-to-face for the first time, while those who had heard it were reliving it again. There were even some who were gloating over their misfortune. Now that the Xie and Chu families were at war, there would probably be a good show to watch in the future.
How could Mother Xie pretend not to know?
Of course he could. He sat high up in the seat of honor, watching the dance and listening to the song, turning a deaf ear to the complicated stories below.
Otherwise, what could he do? Disprove the rumors in a high-profile manner? The focus of her daughter-in-law’s birthday banquet was blurred instead. She still believed in Madam Yuan’s ability to handle things.
If there were any complaints, it would be Madam Wang. She said that she would let her Second Mother take a good look at her family, but in the end, the focus was all snatched by Xiao Baoxin. After such a big incident, didn’t everyone watch the show?
Who would still think about her Second Lady?
These days, Madam Wang had been very busy, hoping that the birthday banquet would be lively and lively. The best thing was to take the opportunity to chat. There were still some young men who were not married yet. In the end, Xiao Baoxin caused such a ruckus, and everyone gathered together to talk about Xiao Baoxin.
“This is a domineering…”
Madam Wang gritted her teeth so hard that they were about to break. This family was using her as cheap labor. They were flattering her, but when it really came down to it, no one thought about her or their third family.
However, Mother Xie’s attitude was right there. Madam Wang couldn’t jump out. No matter how muddle-headed she was, she still knew that she was the wife of the Xie family. If she lost, she would lose, and if she lost, she would gain. Her maternal family had already collapsed, so the only one she could rely on was the Xie family.
He had no place to express the grievance in his heart. He drank a few more cups of wine and said that he was drunk before returning to the third house.
Although Lady Yuan was the birthday girl, she had no choice but to personally go down and take care of everything.
Fortunately, everyone still gave face to the Xie family. They had heard many rumors, big and small. These matters involved Xie Xian, and no one was blind enough to directly ask his mother.
His wife was furious and threw him out. He was afraid that if he were to be scolded back in front of his mother, it would be a light punishment.
Therefore, although everyone had the heart to watch a good show, they did not want to go up and provoke others.
Among them, only Madam Yin was not stingy. Her sister-in-law, Madam Yuan, did not give her son any face, so why should she give Xie Xian any face? She said directly,
“I know it’s not easy for Aunt to have a grandson and she has the Xiao family in her palm, but there must be a rule in the family. Everyone is here to celebrate your birthday, but she did whatever she wanted and ruined her relationship with the Chu family. If you don’t look at the Chu family, don’t you still have your sister? How difficult will it be for her?”
This was the daughter-in-law that her aunt had begged so hard to marry. She really made her look good.
When she said this, she was gloating.
“How can my obedient daughter not follow the rules? What did Madam Yin hear that she dared to make such a decision? Do you know what happened?” Madam Yuan didn’t even have to step in. Madam Xie was the first to quit, and there were already people who were not afraid of things getting out of hand.
“Whether my good daughter did it right or wrong, my in-laws will discipline her. Even if it doesn’t work out, there’s still me as her mother. If Madam Yin has the time, why don’t you discipline your own children? The son was licentious and the daughter was pampered…You haven’t even decided on her yet, right?”
Madam Yin’s face turned ashen.
“My son’s matter has nothing to do with you!”
The marriage was fine, but wasn’t it all caused by the Xiao family?
If Xiao Baoxin hadn’t insisted on withdrawing his reputation and conveniently dug out the incident at Scholarflower Lane, would Yuan Chen’s reputation have been completely ruined? Her Jiuniang had stood up for her brother and was almost poisoned to death.
Now that Xiao Baoxin was in the Xie family’s favor and married into his aunt’s family, his own children were implicated by Xiao Baoxin and had yet to be settled.
She even suspected that her aunt was deliberately trying to annoy the Yuan family and insisted on finding someone to break off the engagement with the Yuan family!
“Then what does my daughter have to do with you?”Madam Xie glared at Madam Yin angrily.
The two of them already had a fire in their hearts, so they wanted to have a good time when they argued.
“The sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound.””Did you come here under my brother’s instructions to specially ruin my birthday banquet?”
The few of them sat close to each other, but that didn’t mean that others couldn’t hear them. There were ears everywhere.
Madam Yin sneered.” I wouldn’t dare. However, someone slandered my son. I’m not to be trifled with.”
Mrs. Yuan: I am.
But that doesn’t mean I’m easy to bully.
It was already the greatest kindness to the world that he didn’t bully others.
“You’re right. Someone slandered my son and daughter-in-law. Even if I’m a vegetarian, I’ll skin that person alive.”Madam Yuan said. “I like to hear sister-in-law’s words.”
But slandering Yuan Chen?
With his bad reputation, did he need to be slandered?
“That’s right!” Mrs. Xie looked at Mrs. Yuan with bright eyes. Mrs. Yuan was really tough. She liked her. “You’re right, in-law. I’ll skin anyone who slanders my daughter alive.”
Mother Xie said,”I’m listening to the music and watching the song.”
Madam Yin looked coldly at Madam Yuan and Madam Xie. If it wasn’t for Doctor Yuan repeatedly urging her to mend her relationship with the Xie family and Yuan Chen also persuading her, she wouldn’t have tolerated these words today.
But, for his son!
“I’m old and can’t sit still anymore. You young people can have fun. I’ll go and rest first.”Mother Xie was almost done sitting. She greeted the other madams and they went back to the inner room to rest.
Madam Yuan helped Mother Xie back into the house and told her about the story.
Mother Xie did not say anything else and just nodded.”You go ahead. I’ll rest for a while.”
Mrs. Yuan didn’t understand what Mother Xie meant. She didn’t look happy or unhappy. Seeing Mother Xie’s tired face, she didn’t say anything else and left the house.
Before he could take two steps, he saw the maid Qing Shuang walking up to him with a hesitant look on her face.
“What’s wrong?” Mrs. Yuan asked.
Qing Shuang pursed her lips.” The servant who went to Censor Xiao’s mansion just now has returned. He has a message. The Second Lady of the Xiao family is dead..””
