Chapter 98 - 98 Three Blessings
Speaking of the eldest, Madam Xie thought of the son of Madam Cai. He really knew how to give birth. She was prettier than the couple. She looked like a jade statue with a pitiful face.
Even though she was so annoyed by the eldest couple, she couldn’t help but take a few more glances at them. She would send whatever good food and drinks to Ms. Cai.
“It’s Andu’s full moon in two days. Remember to go over early to help. We’re all family.”
Andu was the son of the Cai family. Before Xiao Yunlin went to war, he had already decided to name the boy Andu and the girl Anqi.
Madam Xie didn’t say it clearly. Their Xie residence was now a joke. This family of three children, none of them were worrisome. In the past, she was still considered a hedonistic son of a rich family. Their family was not inferior to her.
Xiao Baoxin nodded. Recently, Madam Cai and her brother might have been dismissed from their posts, and the Cai family had clearly drawn a clear line between them. The couple had experienced many twists and turns, and there was less of an aura that kept strangers and acquaintances away. It was much calmer.
Speaking of Andu, Madam Xie could not stop talking about how cute he was, how he was cuter than other children.
Xiao Baoxin could imagine that Madam Xie’s fragile little heart had suffered too much after raising the siblings. She had not had any children in the family over the years. However, when she saw Andu, who was indeed very cute, her grandmother’s love was uncontrollable. She even forgot how much she hated Xiao Baoshan and ran to Madam Cai’s house whenever she saw the sky.
Fortunately, she was not the biological grandmother. Otherwise, Madam Cai might have thought that her mother-in-law was here to snatch her grandson away.
Because they were separated by this layer, they had less scruples.
“.. Your Abba will probably like An even more when he sees him.”Madam Xie sighed.” This battle has been going on for a long time. 1 don’t know when he’ll be back.””
Prince Guangling was dissatisfied with Emperor Yuheng’s removal of his title, so he raised an army in his fief. Xiao Yun was ordered to go to Guangling, and Prince Guangling rebelled in April. It was already mid-July. Although there were constant memorials to the court, Xiao Yun was too lazy to write. She would only send a letter to the manor when she returned to the court after victory. Madam Xie had not received a letter from home until now.
Fortunately, there was a constant stream of good news. Otherwise, Madam Xie would have been very worried.
When this person was with her, she would always think about those things every day. She had a bad temper, was not gentle, and had even taken in a concubine. Every single thing had to be calculated. However, once she was not in front of her, she could not help but miss her. After all, she was the head of the family.
Xiao Baoxin comforted her for a while. The mother and son chatted for a while before the butler came in with a smile on his face, holding a letter sealed with mud in his hand.
Madam Xie’s face instantly blossomed into a smile. She knew what it was without asking.
“Congratulations, Madam. Congratulations, Madam. Our Great General has won and the traitor has been killed.”Jia Yong beamed with joy.” The Great General sent a personal subordinate back to the manor to deliver a letter to Furen. This lowly one saw that the Little General was hurrying day and night and looked disheveled, so he asked the Little General to wash up and eat before reporting to Furen.”
Madam Xie nodded repeatedly. Butler Jia had become very familiar with the way things were done over the years. It was just that he had to report everything back to her even though he was always at the forefront.
“You did well, Butler.” Madam Xie took the letter from the butler and read it in one glance. She smiled so widely that her teeth could not be seen.
“This is really a good thing. They’ll probably be back in less than half a month.”
Then, he instructed Butler Jia to take good care of the little general. He was in a high mood and couldn’t stop. He kept spinning on the ground.
“This is the third blessing. Your father has triumphed, our eldest grandson has been born, and your marriage has been settled. Come, go to the front yard with mother and tell your brother.”
One could imagine how much An Du had attracted her mother’s affection. It was only a little bit, but it had already made her mother so beautiful that she had even forgotten about the new and old grudges.
However, Xiao Baoxin still knew that it was best for the family to live in harmony.
Seeing that her mother was really too excited, she did not mention that. What marriage…She really didn’t have any results, but it also indirectly showed her mother’s approval of the marriage with Yang Shao.
She accompanied the excited Madam Xie to the front courtyard. Xiao Baoshan had an appointment with a friend and was not in the residence. Madam Cai was very enthusiastic when she saw the person who came. Before Madam Xie could speak, she ordered the servants to bring her son over.
Xiao Baoxin knew very well why she was calling her cheap mother-in-law for three meals a day. Xiao Baoxin was speechless.
Mrs. Cai was doing well after her confinement. Her face was chubby, and her skin was fair and tender.
When she heard that her father-in-law had won the battle, she also laughed happily.”This is a good thing. When will Eunuch come back? At that time, our residence will be lively.”
Without the Cai family to rely on, Madam Cai’s temper was much better.
“Yes, we have to celebrate. It’s just a pity that we didn’t come back in time for Andu’s full moon.”Madam Xie felt regretful.
The Xiao family had already been ridiculed by the entire Jiankang City by letting the children take turns to act. An Du Manyue had already made her head full of questions when she drafted invitations. Some could not be invited, some were inconvenient to invite, and some might not even come even if they were invited…
If Xiao Yun returned victorious, there was no need to mention the Emperor’s commendation. The atmosphere of the entire Jiankang City was uncertain. There was no one more respected than the soldiers who protected the country.
However, people were forgetful and would forget everything after a long time.
Regardless of whether it was the Xiao family or the spectators who mocked them, they urgently needed the Xiao family to use their strength to prove that their Xiao family did not only have scandals.
Thinking of the scandal, Madam Xie had a headache. In the few months that Xiao Yun had been away from home, the reputation of the Xiao family had been reduced to nothing. When he came back, she really didn’t know how to explain herself.
Madam Xie’s mood didn’t last long. When she saw Nanny carrying An Du over, her eyes lit up.
What reputation, what explanation, they were all at the back of the line. He hugged her and loved her dearly.
Xiao Baoxin went over to grab Andu’s little hand, but the baby was too small. She didn’t even dare to carry him. However, when she touched Andu’s hand, she actually heard Andu’s inner voice.
“My stomach feels uncomfortable.”
“Grandma is so bitter.”
Xiao Baoshu was speechless.
She could actually hear the voice of a baby who could not speak yet…This feeling was so mysterious.
” Sister-in-law.” Xiao Baoxin hesitated, not knowing what to say. After all, Andu was such a small baby. It would be very taboo for anyone to say anything bad.
However, even though she knew that Ann was not feeling well, she still had to say it.
“Andu doesn’t look too comfortable.”
When Xiao Baoxin said that, Madam Xie also hurriedly said,”Yes, her face is twitching today and she’s very quiet. Did you not take good care of her?”
“That can’t be. Perhaps the young master has just woken up and doesn’t look very energetic.”Nanny gently squeezed herself next to Xiao Baoxin, stepped forward to touch Andu’s small face, and said softly.
Xiao Baoxin’s gaze turned cold. What she had heard was clearly not what she had heard..
