After sitting in the pavilion and chatting for a while, Yi Antang’s Zhilan came to the back garden. She looked around along the way, and when she looked up, she happened to meet Xiao Baoxin’s eyes.
Zhilan ran up the fake mountain.
“I think it’s the Grand Furen who wants you to accompany her.”Wang Qiang smiled.
Sure enough, Zhi Lan came up to the pavilion and said breathlessly,””.. With the matriarchs of each family present, they all clamored to see Furen, so Grand Furen sent this servant to find Furen.”
Zu Shi glanced at Wang Qiong.
“Go do your work. We’ll sit here for a while.”Wang Qiong sat on the spot without moving.
Princess Xuancheng also nodded.” You should go quickly. You’re so pregnant with the great-grandson of the Xie family. You have to show off.””The truth was out.
Zhilan covered her mouth.
“It’s really not showing off. So many Furens say that our Madam is blessed. She got pregnant the moment she entered the house and even gave birth to a boy. They all want their daughter-in-law to be happy.”
Sitting next to a group of madams to give their daughter-in-law a good mood, these people were actually able to say it.
Wasn’t it because the Xie family was the only one who made a fuss and chose to say nice things?
Mother Xie’s words, Xiao Baoxin did not dare to neglect and followed Zhilan.
The Yi An Hall was bustling with noise and excitement, even more so than the little wives and young ladies. They had all lived for decades and had a wide range of knowledge. Even their teasing words were very laughable.
As long as they wanted to, the atmosphere could easily be stirred up.
Similarly, as long as they wanted the atmosphere to cool down, it would be easy.
The moment Xiao Baoxin came in, he received the attention of thousands of people. Without exception, they praised him for being beautiful and blessed. Xiao Baoxin was still considered stable. He only lightly curled his lips and revealed a polite smile. However, Mrs. Xie was smiling so hard that her teeth were about to fall out.
She wasn’t even this happy when these people praised her.
After seeing her daughter get married, she was so valued by her in-laws and so sought after by everyone. Her heart felt as if it had been filled with two catties of honey. She felt stuffed, greasy, and a little nauseous.
Some words are really… When people heard it, it was obviously a good thing, but it made them want to vomit.
Xiao Baoxin was naturally different from Madam Xie. First of all, their knowledge was different. Not only could she hear what the other party was saying, but these madams and old ladies would also fall in love with touching each other. When they were chatting, they couldn’t help but touch their faces.
As long as there was skin contact, she could hear the other party’s thoughts.
No matter what kind of words they said, whether they were jealous, disdainful, or sincere, she could hear it clearly, not to mention those idle gossips.
What she did not expect was that there were actually so many old ladies who knew about Wang Qiangfeng’s scandal with her flirtatious uncle, and there were even all sorts of gossip about her and Xie Xian.
The Zu family knew about it, and even the old madam had heard about it. One could imagine how widespread this rumor was.
Xiao Baoxin was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. This person from the Zhou Consortium was too insidious.
What kind of family was this?
His sister poisoned him, and his brother colluded with bandits to kill him and rob him.
Consort Zhou didn’t even need to kill people, she just relied on her mouth to spread the news.
She found Madam Zhou in the crowd and saw her sitting beside Madam Chu. She looked at her with a faint smile. The coldness in her eyes met Xiao Baoxin’s eyes.
The two of them did not give in to each other’s gazes. In the end, Xiao Baoxin was the first to look away.
This guy was asking for a beating.
He had to find an opportunity to make a move.
It was not her style to suffer in silence.
The reputation of the Xie family and Wang Qiong could not be ruined by this kind of person.
Her husband was a glorious man, how could he allow someone to splash feces on him so unscrupulously? Furthermore, Wang Qiong still didn’t know. Once she knew that she had humiliated the Xie family, how could she bear it?
This Zhou Consortium was really sinister!
Alright, alright, that’s enough. My granddaughter-in-law is pregnant. She can’t be tired.”Mother Xie smiled and called Xiao Baoxin to sit beside her. She asked if he was tired or hungry. Anyone with eyes could see how satisfied she was with this granddaughter-in-law. She had never been so kind to her little wife.
This was something that the onlookers had never dreamed of.
Xiao Baoxin used to be quite famous in Jiankang City. Of course, his reputation was not very good. There was no need to look far. Last year, there were scandals all over the place. Marriage was a long-standing problem.
Since Gao Panyuan’s family insisted on breaking off the engagement, no one dared to go to the Xiao family to propose marriage again. It was not easy for a poor kid to propose marriage, but his sister had stolen it.
Who would have thought that in just half a year, she would turn the tables and not only climb up the Xie family, but she would also get pregnant with a boy as soon as she entered the house. It was as if she was cheating.
Just by looking at the person sitting in front of him today, one could not see the slightest bit of the usual valiant atmosphere.
“I heard that you went to the garden again. You’ve walked a lot. Why don’t you go to the back and rest?”Her mother-in-law, Mrs. Yuan, said with concern. Fortunately, Xiao Baoxin’s face was red and did not look tired at all. She either had martial arts, which made her different from other pregnant wives.
Xiao Baoxin naturally gave up. He really didn’t want to continue socializing here. Just his fake smile made his face a little stiff.
After greeting the elders present, he went to the back and lay down on the couch to rest.
” Cai Wei,” Xiao Baoxin called Cai Wei to his side,””Have you heard any gossip recently?”
Cai Wei was startled. Listening to gossip was her daily routine. There wasn’t a day that she didn’t listen.
“Madam, which aspect are you referring to?”
“It’s me.” Xiao Baoxin raised his eyebrows.
There really was.
After all, they were in Yi An Hall, not Rong An Hall. She was afraid that the walls might have ears, so Cai Wei looked around and said in a low voice,””Actually, it can’t be considered as Furen’s gossip, but…Lord Lang’s. Just now, he heard some of the ladies chatting in the courtyard.”
Oh, it must be exciting to visit her house and gossip about her family.
“Yes… About the Wang Clan’s Fifteenth Lady?”
Cai Wei’s mouth was wide open in shock. No wonder the Madam asked her this question, she must have heard it.
“That’s right. I also heard the wife of the eldest branch of the Chu family talk about this with others. Her eyes were red and she was hiding it.”
Xiao Baoxin snorted coldly.” Mrs. Zhou, you’re here to slap me in the face. You go and keep an eye on Mrs. Zhou. When she’s alone, come and inform me.””
When Cai Wei heard this, she instinctively felt that something was wrong.” Furen, this is Old Furen’s birthday banquet. Shouldn’t Furen suppress the fire first?”
“I know what to do.” Xiao Baoxin said.
Cai Wei: That’s not what you said with your crunching fingers…
Although she thought so in her heart, she did not dare to disobey Madam’s orders. She had no choice but to go and keep an eye on her.
But she didn’t expect Madam Zhou to be so stubborn, sitting all the way until the banquet started before following the crowd of Furen to move.
The madams started the banquet, and the young lady and daughter-in-law also started. Xie Wan personally came to invite Xiao Baoxin.
Before Xiao Baoxin left, he instructed Mu Jin,” Go and tell Cai Wei to do her job properly. Don’t run around. There are many guests in the house. Don’t offend anyone..””
