These words were quite impolite. Not only did the eldest daughter of the Xiao family not take her seriously, but even the Yuan family was insulted.
Lady Yuan said coldly,” A family of a hundred families wants a daughter. It’s my nephew who failed to live up to expectations. Lady Xiao is a good one.” My son is already 20 years old. I don’t think it’s worth Third Uncle making such a big fuss over a marriage that I’ve set for him as his mother.”
“How is Lady Xiao? Was Aister-in-law bewitched by someone, or did she have some shortcomings that made her set such a shameful marriage for Xuan Hui?”Chancellor Xie’s eyes widened in anger,” Our Xie family is a famous and prosperous family, how can we lower our status to go to that poor family? Xuanllui nephew is twenty years old, but brother died early, Xuanllui inconvenient to discuss marriage.”
“After the filial piety period, his uncles gave him a lot of attention. It was sister-in-law and nephew who rejected him.”
“I only thought that sister-in-law and mother had a plan in their hearts and would give Xuanhui a thousand choices to choose an outstanding noble daughter from an aristocratic family. Who knew that sister-in-law didn’t even inform mother and privately arranged a marriage with the Xiao family.”
“The Emperor didn’t inform Mother, and nephew Xuanhui left Jiankang to go to Kuaiji to quell the rebellion. I don’t know, but what are you planning, sister-in-law? Why is your Yuan family eyeing the eldest daughter of the Xiao family?”
Chancellor Xie was like a cannonball as he kept talking, making Madam Wang who was following behind him useless. With just one sentence from him, she would nod her head and treat it as a helping hand.
“That’s right, sister-in-law. The men of the Xiao family might not know, but which of the ladies in the back residence doesn’t know? She’s an arrogant and despotic…What kind of family background does our Xie family have? How can we condescend to such a low marriage? It’s not like we can’t find one.”
“Are Uncle and Sister-in-law done? If you’re done, listen to me.”
Madam Yuan glanced at Old Madam Xie first. She wasn’t afraid of anyone else, but what did her son have to do with them? She had only let down the old madam. In the Xie family, her mother-in-law had always treated her like her own daughter and even treated her eldest grandson as her eyeball. There was nothing that her son would not agree to.
She also knew that the Xie family and the Xiao family were not worthy of this marriage. However, in order to fulfill her own family’s hypocrisy and ruin her own son, she was willing to go all out!
“No matter what the reason is, we absolutely can’t marry into the Xiao family. Sister-in-law can afford to lose face, but our Xie family can’t!”Third Master Xie didn’t even want to hear it.
Who cares if she said one or three words? If she couldn’t, she couldn’t.
Old Madam Xie’s face darkened, and her anger rose. However, she still had her rationality. Madam Yuan was talented and had always been more rational than emotional, so she relied heavily on her.
She couldn’t deny that this time, Madam Yuan had made such a decision behind her back. It was related to Xie Xian’s marriage. She was furious and even felt betrayed.
However, she believed that the Yuan family’s love for her son surpassed anyone else.
Madam Yuan could sacrifice anyone, but she would not do anything that would harm Xie Xian. To others, Madam Yuan might be cold and distant, but Old Xie Furen knew that she was a loving mother.
“Shut up and let your sister-in-law finish. Is this how your upbringing is? You don’t even have the right to speak to others?”
“When you were two years old, I told you not to interrupt others.”
Third Master Xie’s face was red. He was embarrassed and angry.
He knew that his mother was biased. In the past, when his brother was alive, he was biased towards his brother. After his brother died, he was biased towards his brother’s son. He was just a piece of grass that was not liked by others.
However, he was embarrassed in front of his sister-in-law, which made Third Master Xie feel a little angry.
“No matter how Mother scolds me, I deserve it. But mother, you absolutely cannot tolerate sister-in-law doing this. Xuan Hui isn’t just sister-in-law’s son. He’s the head of the Xie family and represents the entire Xie family! Our Xie family, a century-old family, must not be destroyed in the hands of sister-in-law!”
Mrs. Wang also joined in the fun,””You’re right. Families like ours pay attention to matching in terms of status, but the Xiao Family is from a poor family. I’m afraid that our Xie Family won’t be able to raise our heads after the marriage.” “Yes! Absolutely not.” Third Master Xie was determined.
Old Xie Furen’s anger was stuck in her head. The anger of being betrayed and concealed by the Yuan family was forcefully transferred by the Third Prince and his wife.
“Are you done? Can you let others speak after you’re done?”
Aristocratic family? Strength of character? Why couldn’t he tell anything from the two of them?
It was said that the morals of the world were getting worse. Most of the children of the aristocratic families did not have the integrity of their ancestors. Most of them sat idly by and enjoyed the fruits of their labor, waiting for death. It was no wonder that her grandson did not like them. She had lived for more than 60 years, and her tolerance was growing all the way. She could not stand it!
“You don’t even have the basic upbringing, and you still have the nerve to talk big!”
This was considered a rather heavy sentence. Madam Wang immediately blushed. As for Third Master Xie, he was used to it. He had been scolded by his mother since he was young. He was tough!
“Anyway, I’m firmly against it. It just won’t do! Mother, you can’t just go along with Sister-in-law on this matter. Xuanhui is my nephew, how can I cheat him?”
Mrs. Yuan didn’t like hearing this.” Xuanhui is my son. Second Uncle, do you mean that I, as his mother, am trying to trick him?”
Madam Wang glared at Third Master Xie. Her good position had been twisted by his words. Someone had caught hold of her!
“Sister-in-law is doing this for Xuanhui’s own good, but Xuanhui is also our nephew. Sister-in-law, you’re the eldest daughter of the Yuan family and also a noble daughter of an aristocratic family. Look at our Xie family, Yuan family, and Wang family. There’s no tradition of marrying a poor family. That would be a joke.”
“My lord and 1 mean that Xuanhui is the eldest son of the Xie family’s eldest branch, and he is the head of our family. His status is noble, so the marriage can’t be casual. No matter what, it has to be approved by everyone. It can’t just be fine as long as sister-in-law sees it.”
Lady Yuan looked down on Lady Wang. She looked dignified and kind, and was a kind old lady, but in reality, she was a honey-mouthed woman who would stab you in the back at any moment.
Third Master Xie and his wife seemed to be the ones who kept their word, but in reality, the Wang family was the one who played the game.
In order to marry her niece into the Xie family, the Wang family had made a lot of effort a while ago.
“Mother, I have words…I want to talk to mother alone.” Madam Yuan said.
Chancellor Xie:” There’s nothing that can’t be said to others. If sister-in-law has anything to say, you can say it clearly face to face.””
“Third Brother, you and your wife can go out first. I’ll consider this matter.”
“Mother, you can’t listen to sister-in-law on this matter. You’ve always been biased, but this concerns the Xie family’s face. It’s not a small matter…”
Old Madam Xie could not take it anymore. She grabbed the teacup and threw it on the ground. Immediately, the entire world fell silent.
Madam Wang’s mouth, which was opened halfway, also closed.
“Get out! Unfilial son!”
Even if he didn’t go out, he still had to give her space to talk. With his broken mouth, when could he get to the main topic? Sometimes, Old Madam Xie would always blame her third son. Her entire life’s self-restraint was ruined by him. If it weren’t for him, how kind, generous, and amiable would she be at this time?
When it came to him, it was broken!
