Madam Xiao’s heart was aching. Second Brother Xiao lived on his salary. Originally, the family lived together. Although it was said that they lived on the public’s salary, it was actually Sikong Xiao’s silver. Over the years, they had only earned some silver, and Sikong Xiao had given them a lot.

However, besides Xiao Jing ‘ai, Miao Rong was also getting married. Didn’t the sons and daughters of concubines need to get married in the future?

Did their second branch not want to live anymore?

The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant.

She didn’t dare to say that she treated Xiao Jing ‘ai as her own, but the dowry was really quite a lot. It was almost the only dowry for a family like theirs.

What else did she want? Did she have to bring all her assets over to be done with it?

That night, when she saw Xiao Zhongcheng, she told him all her complaints. Xiao Zhongcheng stroked his remaining beard and felt a headache coming on.

His daughter was not a person who could be at ease, and his wife was not someone who could hide her words. It was so tiring that he had to spend every day outside with others and come home to judge right and wrong. Fortunately, his daughter was about to get married.

“This is inevitable. Which little lady doesn’t have some vanity? Maybe it’s because of the big lady’s dowry…You don’t have to worry about it. As long as we have a clear conscience, it’s fine.”Xiao Zhongcheng said slowly.

Madam Xiao sneered.

“What is she jealous of? Look at what she got. How much does she want from us? Without money, he didn’t even have a word to say. This is the daughter you’re offering. Their family thinks that our dowry is enough to live on, but they still think it’s too little. Why didn’t you look at the betrothal gifts of the Xie family?”

“She only looks good at others, but doesn’t she think that her own bad isn’t caused by herself?”

“Alright, alright, there’s no end to it.”Xiao Zhongcheng was so excited that he lost two more strands of his beard. With this trend, his beard would be used as Xiao Jing ‘ai’s dowry.

“In about half a month, Jing Ai will get married. There is not much time left in front of you. How many more days can I jump around in front of you? You’re already in your thirties. Why are you arguing with your own daughter?”

“My own daughter?” Madam Xiao was so angry that her eyebrows were raised. If my own daughter dares to humiliate me like this outside, I’ll strangle her!”

“You only have a mouth to talk about me. Why don’t you control your daughter? Don’t slander me in front of outsiders twice.”

“You are also called a censor. Even the daughter of the family can’t handle it. When something happens, she will shout at me. If it wasn’t for you who likes to meddle in everything and support Second Mother, I wouldn’t be able to control or touch her.”

At this point, Madam Xiao was furious. She grabbed Second Brother Xiao’s beard and pulled him out.

“Get lost, get lost. Go to whichever concubine or aunt you want. Don’t be disgusted in front of me!”

Before Xiao Zhongcheng could count how many more beards he had lost, the door was closed from the inside.

“Get lost!”

The maids outside the room looked at each other and shifted their gazes to the corners that had nothing to do with Xiao Zhongcheng.

The Second Lady stirred up trouble in the family. Every time the Deputy and Madam quarreled, it was because of her. This time, it was an upgraded version of the previous violence. They could hear the middle-aged man’s wailing outside. It was heartbreaking.

Xiao Zhongcheng made his wife slap her face on the spot and made the servants laugh at her. He blushed and ran to the concubine’s room in the backyard to seek comfort.

It wasn’t until the second watch that Madam Xiao called the housekeeper over with a gloomy face and took 30% of Xiao Jing ‘ai’s dowry.

The housekeeper hesitated and said,”

“This, this was all checked by the Deputy. Isn’t it not good to pull it out rashly? Second Niangzi did not do this properly. She was about to be married off, so it was better to save the face of Zhongcheng. Because of Second Niangzi, she was at odds with Zhongcheng and his wife. It was not worth it. Furen was cautious.”

The housekeeper was the dowry that followed Madam Xiao into the Xiao family. Only she could say this and dared to say it.

Madam Xiao waved her hand. She had made up her mind.

“If 1 don’t teach her a lesson, she’ll really think that I’m easy to bully. No family would let it go if they talked about their stepmother in front of outsiders. I’m already good enough. If Second Brother Xiao still wants to argue with me over such a small matter, at most, we’ll fall out. Who’s afraid of who?”

The housekeeper tried to persuade her, but seeing that Madam Xiao was still unmoved and was really going to confront Xiao Zhongcheng head-on, she did not say anything more and just shook her head and left.

However, to the housekeeper’s surprise, when Xiao Zhongcheng learned that Madam Xiao had taken 30% of the Second Lady’s dowry the next day, he only smacked his lips and tacitly agreed to Madam Xiao’s actions. He must have been dissatisfied with the Second Lady.

Putting aside how Xiao Jing ‘ai was after finding out that 30% of the dowry had been taken away, Xiao Baoxin was so excited that he couldn’t sleep for half the night.

“Wifey, if you don’t sleep, the sky will be bright.’Tonight, it was Cai Wei’s turn to be on night duty. If Wifey didn’t sleep, then she, as a servant girl, naturally couldn’t sleep either. However, she was so sleepy that her eyelids started to twitch.

She curled up into a small ball on the couch in the outer room and yawned as she listened to Xiao Baoxin toss and turn.

Xiao Baoxin snorted. Did he think she didn’t want to sleep?

She wanted to sleep too, but she couldn’t. What could she do?

Just as Cai Wei was about to fall asleep, she heard a plop. Xiao Baoxin did a carp jump and got up to the ground to start punching her. It was like a tiger’s roar, and Cai Wei’s spirits were lifted up.

The lady finally got what she wanted and finally took down Xie Changshi. This was too excited.

After practicing four or five sets of punches, Xiao Baoxin fell asleep in less than half an incense stick’s time.

I’m sleepy, I’m sleepy, I’m sleepy, I’m sleepy, I’m sleepy.

It was already early morning. Tangli woke Cai Wei up first. Knowing that Xiao Baoxin had slept late, a few maids busied themselves with the matter, allowing Xiao Baoxin to sleep for another hour. Madam Xie then anxiously pulled Xiao Baoxin up from the couch.

“You’re about to get married, yet you’re still acting like a dead pig. You can’t be so lazy when you’re at your in-laws ‘house. You’ll be a joke to others!”

Madam Xie took care of the wedding. Daliang’s wedding followed the ancient tradition. It was held in the evening and the bride’s family had a whole day to prepare. However, countless lessons had taught them that time was never enough.

After getting Xiao Baoxin up, he first let her bathe and change her clothes. Then, he tied her hair into a bun and tied her hair into a wig. He was busy for half a day.

It was already noon by the time they ate. After they finished eating, they quickly changed into their wedding clothes. Before Madam Xiao came over to help, Madam Xie took advantage of the private moment between the mother and son to stuff the beautifully printed booklet into Xiao Baoxin’s arms.

“This is?” Xiao Baoxin opened it curiously.

Mm… A martial arts dual-cultivation booklet?

Before Madam Xie could say anything, her face turned red. She chased the maids out before telling Xiao Baoxin about the use of the booklet.

“You’re going to be a bride soon.”

” Mother, what should I say? I’m so shy.’

‘What do other mothers say to their daughters…! should have asked first.

‘.. A son-in-law should be able to do it, right? If he couldn’t even do it in the bridal chamber, that would be too much of a scam..’
