Chapter 473: Imagination King

Xie Wan,”There’s something I don’t know if I should say it. Does Mother have an extra wish for her, or did she leave her out in the wish just now? Is she trying to make up for it?”
However, he always knew that his mother was biased, so he didn’t care about his birthday.
She wouldn’t make a fuss.
Xiao Baoxin thought to himself,’These two are just imagining things. They are of the same lineage as Xie Xianzhen, and their inner thoughts are quite rich.’
“Quickly get up, sister-in-law. You don’t know how worried mother is about you now. He was afraid that you would fall when you walked, choke when you ate, and even choke when you drank water.”Xie Wan couldn’t help but laugh as she spoke.
Behind her back, Madam Yuan was worried that something would happen to her hard-earned grandson.
According to Xie Wan, Xiao Baoxin was pregnant with a child, and her mother was about to fall ill.
“That’s because mother dotes on me.” Xiao Baoxin wasn’t arrogant. She just stood up when someone helped her up. She smiled at Madam Yuan. Her smile was so beautiful that Madam Yuan liked it more and more.
This was a lucky person.
“If I don’t dote on you, who will?”
“Me, me, me.”
Xiao Baoxin pulled his aunt’s hand.””I love you.”
There was nothing that could make Madam Yuan happier than getting along well with her sister-in-law. In the future, when she was old and died, wouldn’t her daughter rely on her family when she married?
It was true that Xie Xian and Xie Wan had a deep relationship, but as they grew up, they would start their own families in the future. If the sister-in-law did not get along, it was inevitable that the siblings would fall out over time.
Xiao Baoxin and Xie Wan were good friends to begin with. After marrying over, they were even closer than biological sisters. How could Madam Yuan not be happy? Being doted on by Xie Xian and on good terms with her aunt, Madam Yuan, as a mother-in-law, naturally doted on Xiao Baoxin from the bottom of her heart.
“Ah Lang had already sent someone to order this for Mother. It’s a jade Guanyin, I wonder if Mother likes it.”Xiao Baoxin asked Youmei to open the box. It was a sitting statue of a suet white jade Guanyin. Its color was smooth and delicate. It was obvious that it had been put in a lot of effort.
Mrs. Yuan was grinning from ear to ear.
“Sister-in-law, your attack is too heavy.”Xie Wan said this, but her eyes were filled with amazement. The details were real. At a glance, it was obvious that this carving was done by a famous artist.
Then, he looked at the inner clothes he had personally made for his mother.
My brother and sister-in-law are rich.
Xiao Baoxin wasn’t greedy.” This is your brother’s idea. I don’t dare to take it all on myself.” I wanted to learn from Seventh Madame to make a handkerchief, but I was clumsy. Even if I embroidered two birds, they would be regarded as flat-beaked ducks. I really didn’t dare to expose my shortcomings.”
Waving her hand, Tangli brought another small box forward. Inside was a coral red Ruyi.
“Ah Lang is filial to Ah Niang and has already decided on the jade Guanyin statue. I can’t steal Ah Lang’s filial piety, nor can I bask in Ah Lang’s light for nothing. Ever since I entered the family, mother has doted on me and loved me. My daughter-in-law has seen it and remembered it. Even though I have many shortcomings, mother has tolerated me and treated me like her own daughter.”
“This was given to me by the late emperor after father won the battle. Mother made me a dowry and brought it over. Today, I’ll borrow flowers to offer to Buddha and give them to mother. I hope mother won’t blame me for slacking off.”
This little one was beautiful and had a sweet mouth. Madam Yuan was happy to hear her words. Her wife knew how to deal with people. She could be soft or hard, and she could bend or stretch.
This was simply unimaginable a year ago.
Xie Xian was stubborn. If he hadn’t gone all out and insisted on welcoming Xiao Baoxin into the house in front of his mother-in-law, her son might still be alone now, and his birthday would probably be meaningless.
Lady Yuan held Xiao Baoxin in her arms and stroked her head.”
“Good child, you’re so good. If Mother doesn’t love you, who will?”He was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
Never in his dreams would he have thought that Xiao Baoxin, who was rumored to be like a hag outside, would be so pleasing to his heart. He was beautiful, kind, and had weak hands-no, hard fists, and a combination of hardness and softness.
Me? Xie Wan was already powerless to complain.
Before brother got married, she was at least ranked second in mother’s heart. Why did she have the guts to be ranked fourth now?
Fortunately, her parents weren’t having children. If they had more children, wouldn’t she be the bottom of the world for ten thousand years?
The few of them were chatting and laughing when they suddenly heard someone outside.
“Sister-in-law is so blessed. Her children are filial and her daughter-in-law is so caring.”Madam Wang lifted the curtain and walked in with a smile.” Look, you’re making my sister-in-law so happy that her eyes are almost slits. I didn’t come to invite you, and you guys are still chatting..Mother is calling you over. Don’t just stay in your own courtyard and enjoy the beauty. In a while, let the people outside see that our Xie family has become glorious again.”
As long as Madam Wang wanted to, she was still very good at playing along.
This time, she said that it was Madam Yuan’s birthday. She had never forgotten Mother Xie’s original intention. She also wanted to see if there was anyone she liked and if there was anyone she didn’t work hard for.
Madam Yuan knew what kind of person she was and only smiled.”
“How would I dare to think that there would be such a day a year ago? You, don’t worry, our wife is the best. Only you, this mother, are blinded by the situation. Don’t you see how many families ‘marriages have been delayed because of this war? Our Second Mother is beautiful and well-educated. Your good days are still ahead.”
After a few words, Madam Wang’s heart sank, and her smile became even more genuine.
The few of them did not talk much. It was not good to ask the elders to wait. As they talked, they walked out to Yi An Hall.
Firstly, Freedom Yard was remote and quiet, and secondly, the elders of the Xie family were still there. It was not appropriate for them to go to Freedom Yard with the younger generation to celebrate their daughter-in-law’s birthday, so they arranged the banquet in Yi An Hall.
When Lady Yuan arrived, almost all the juniors were present. The house was filled with laughter and laughter, waiting to congratulate this birthday star.
Madam Wang didn’t stay in Yi An Hall for long. It was already time for the official banquet. It was inevitable that some of her close friends and relatives would come in advance, so she had to greet them. At the same time, he also called a few of the second, fourth, fifth, and seventh wives who were in charge of the house to help him out.
Xiao Baoxin, Xiao Ning, and Wang Qiang stayed behind, chatting and laughing with the elders.
Wang Qiang’s adopted son, Chu An, and the younger generation of the Xie family were brought to the courtyard to play. The children were also annoyed by sitting for too long, so Mother Xie did not detain them.
The earliest to arrive was Madam Yin of the Yuan Residence, Madam Yuan’s eldest sister-in-law.
Ever since the Xie family had decided on Xiao Baoxin’s marriage, no one from the Yuan family had even attended the wedding. They had only sent a few congratulatory gifts.
After that, Xie Xian’s status rose. It was not that the Yuan family had not thought of repairing their relationship, but Lady Yuan had shut herself in and refused to come out. Lady Yin was also angry that her sister-in-law did not give her face. Coupled with the chaos in various places, the Yuan family was in a wait-and-see stage, so they did not force themselves to come.
It was Lady Yuan’s birthday this time, so she had to send a post to her maiden family, saying that the Xie family didn’t know the rules and that Lady Yuan didn’t care about kinship..
