Even I couldn’t help but complain,
“Mother, are you serious?”
” In terms of luck, who can compare to you? In her previous life, she married Father Yang and was the mother of a country. In this life, she had married into the Xie family of Chen Jun, the head of the aristocratic families. Her luck was boundless.’
‘It’s hard to guarantee that Mother will get a boy!’
‘Mother, don’t belittle yourself!’
Xiao Baoxin gritted his teeth. The one who wanted to marry was his old son, and the one who didn’t want to marry was him. What exactly did he want?
If it wasn’t in front of outsiders, she would have slapped him in the stomach and taught him a lesson!
“You’re right. We hit it off and become in-laws. Anyway, we still have a long life ahead of us. As long as we’re born differently, we’ll get engaged…”
Before Zu shi could finish speaking, Xiao Miaorong declared,”Fourth Lady, don’t forget that I was the first one to decide.”
Madam Zu laughed.” How did I become so popular? It seems that I have to work harder in the future. I can’t slack off and give birth to children. Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain it to you two sisters.””
After pondering over the two jade pendants on the left and right, he handed the other jade pendant with hibiscus, osmanthus, evergreen, and long red to Xiao Baoxin. He was even more excited than before.
“It’s settled.”
Xiao Baoxin also took off his Sui Sui Peace Jade Pendant as an exchange.
“In the future, I’ll have a lot of responsibilities. I have to educate my sons more carefully. Even if they’re not appointed, I can’t let them embarrass you sisters.”Zu Shi said half-jokingly.
The three of them chatted and laughed as they returned to the hall.
When she returned to her seat, Zu Shi felt as if her feet were floating. Her head was dizzy and she felt as if she was walking on cotton. This caused her mother-in-law to look sideways.
“What’s wrong?”
The mother-in-law of the Zu family was from the Qi family of Runan, the younger sister of Minister Qi of the Ministry of Rites.
He was forty-two or forty-three years old. He had a round face and many wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. He looked amiable.
Madam Qi couldn’t be more satisfied with this daughter-in-law of the Zu family who had helped the Lu family spread branches and leaves. Even if the other party was in a daze, she didn’t blame her and only asked with concern.
Zu shi covered her mouth with a handkerchief and whispered to Madam Qi,
I seem to have done something rash without my mother-in-law’s consent…Take us… I don’t know if Xiao Ji has promised it…”
Mrs. Qi was confused. Why did she recognize every word, but she couldn’t understand them when they were put together?
“Speak properly. What rash thing?”
Who was Little Ji?
What did he promise and who did he give it to?
He had never seen the Zu family so disrespectful.
“It’s the Empress’s great day, you must be careful, don’t offend the Empress.”
Zu Shi choked.” It’s not to the extent of touching the misfortune, it’s just…” That Madam Xiao from the Xie family, she pulled me to marry into our family.”
She first brought out Xiao Baoxin. After all, he had a noble status. As long as she passed this stage, it would be easier to deal with Xiao Miaorong.
” A family of relatives? A family of a good warrior?” “You two?” Madam Qi was stunned.”
“Yes.” Only then did the Zu clan bring out Xiao Miaorong and Xiao Baoxin. However, she had disguised it in her mouth. Xiao Baoxin had spoken first to get married, and she had agreed to it. Xiao Miaorong also said that the two sisters wanted to get married to her family, so she had no choice but to agree.
He couldn’t help but praise Xi Shao’s actions in the previous dynasty. Naturally, he had borrowed the words of her Dalang and used the ground to ‘befriend’ Lu Dalang with such an assistant minister.
As expected, Madam Qi frowned.
“It’s too early. The daughter-in-law of the Xie family was pregnant with a boy?”
“That’s right.”
“Then it’s decided…”
The eldest branch did not have any concubines. When Lu Dalang got married, he would guard the Zu family. In the past, even if there was a concubine, she would be dismissed. If there were concubines in the second branch, it was not the Zu family’s turn to make the decision. Moreover, no matter how unruly Xiao Baoxin was, he would not have given his son a concubine daughter.
Look at how well she married, and she was eyeing the head of the aristocratic families, the Xie family of Chen Jun. One look and you could tell that she was big-hearted.
“It’s set for the future… I wonder where Little Ji is.” Madam Zu also felt that she had been blinded for a moment. It was only when she saw her mother-in-law that she felt a trace of annoyance. She had been too reckless and was afraid of offending Madam Qi.
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had always been very good. Madam Qi also took care of her a lot. There were many concubines in her father’s room, and there were also many concubines. However, even when she was pregnant, her mother-in-law did not send anyone to her room. Her father-in-law had even been rejected by her mother-in-law, so how could she not remember this?
Therefore, he became even more terrified.
“Mother, I was too happy and lost control.”Her little head was almost stuck under the table.
Madam Qi did not express her happiness or displeasure. In fact, she was somewhat dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law’s actions. Especially the marriage with Xi Shao’s family…No matter how capable a bastard was, he was still a bastard.
“Has it been decided?” Madam Qi asked lightly.
“The jade pendant has been exchanged.””
“You are really…” Madam Qi sighed.” Even if it’s just a push, why are you in such a hurry? The Xie family was good, but the Xi family’s concubine…Let’s talk about it later.”
Madam Qi said so, but the Zu family basically concluded that this was the final result.
He couldn’t possibly fall out with the Xi family over a future nobody.
It was true that Xi San was the son of a concubine, but if the Lu family broke their promise, it would not be a matter of the younger generation in the eyes of the Xi family. It would be a big deal.
“You mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are really close.”The madam next to her looked at her daughter-in-law, who only cared about eating and drinking, and did not even know how to flatter her. No matter how she looked at it, she could not compare to her daughter-in-law.
Madam Qi smiled.” No, I think your daughter-in-law is more dignified and steady.””
” Mother, are you complaining that I’m making a scene?” Zu Shi smiled, no longer fearful. “However, Sister Yuan is indeed gentle and considerate. I’m not familiar with Jiankang and have always troubled Sister Yuan to take care of me.”
Hearing this, the madam’s expression became better.
When Xiao Baoxin returned to his seat, he was called to the side by Madam Yuan, who had to ask about her body. Whenever she left Madam Yuan’s sight now, Madam Yuan couldn’t help but show concern when she saw her again.
Xiao Baoxin didn’t take this sweet annoyance to heart and was willing to endure it. It was just that there was a lot of liveliness at the opposite table, which forcefully attracted her.
Not only her, but even Madam Yuan frowned.
Opposite him was Princess Kang Le.
Generally speaking, the royal family had already met the Empress two days ago. Princess Kang Le had always been proud of marrying Zhong Liu, so it was reasonable for a foreign wife to attend today. What was strange was that the two people who were originally at odds with Madam Yin on Madam Yuan’s birthday actually sat together..
