Chapter 226 - 226 Escort
Snow in June and frost in July. There was no such injustice as her.
Originally, she was already a little nervous when she was pregnant with the child, but she thought that it was a good thing to have a child. Who knew that Madam Wang would only wake up after being so rude? No one took it seriously.
Mother Xie and Madam Yuan didn’t even show their faces before they sent the gifts over. Madam Wang did come, but she was here to educate and guide her as well as reprimand her.
Madam Cai felt even more resentful and angry. Mother Xie and Madam Yuan had always been biased. It was not difficult to understand why they were unhappy that she did not attend Xie Xian’s daughter-in-law’s recognition ceremony, but what right did Madam Wang have to point fingers and argue with her?
Don’t think that she couldn’t tell that the Wang family had given birth to three daughters and didn’t even have a legitimate son. This time, seeing her like an old clam giving birth to pearls, she was envious and jealous. He said that he was on her side and was planning for her. Pfft, was he trying to show off to her?
She was just the daughter-in-law of a bastard son. No matter how much she showed off her presence, it was nothing.
Her mother-in-law was open-minded, and her sister-in-law stood aloof from worldly affairs. There were no other schemes and infighting in the deep house. Even if there were, it had nothing to do with her. She would not get involved.
If the Wang Consortium was willing to stir up trouble and mess up the situation, that was the Wang Consortium’s business. She could not drag her into everything. She still had to focus on taking care of her body and giving birth to a healthy and intelligent son who did not like to travel around to study!
She was envious? She would crave it to death!

Not to mention that Madam Cai had complained to Second Master Xie at night, Xiao Baoxin and Xie Wan had not walked far from the second house when Xie Wan wanted to return to her courtyard.
Xiao Baoxin invited her to sit in Rong An Hall. Who knew that Xie Wan would refuse politely.
“Mother has warned me not to disturb sister-in-law’s rest. If 1 rush over, don’t you want Mother to scold me? Brother wants to marry his wife day and night, and then let his sister snatch it away. If that happens, 1 won’t be able to please both sides. Forget it.”
Xiao Baoxin could not help but laugh. How could she not know that Xie Wan had rushed over to the second household because she was worried about her and was protecting her?
“Thank you, Seventh Madame.”
“You see, I should have said 1 wasn’t going. You’re already thanking me.”Xie Wan almost bent over with laughter.
Xiao Baoxin suddenly came back to his senses. These words were indeed misleading, and he immediately blushed.
“That’s not what I meant-stop teasing me. Hurry up, you have to go to Rong An Hall with me today. Otherwise, I’ll lose all my face.”With that, he pulled Xie Wan away.
With the strength of her hand, she could carry Xie Wan as easily as carrying a chick. Xie Wan let Xiao Baoxin pull her and she flew into the air.
“Alright, alright, 1 won’t tease you. Let go of me quickly. Otherwise, when the people below see it, they will think that our sister-in-law has fallen out with each other. On the first day you entered the house, you have already started to show off your power and beat people up.”Xie Wan smiled. Just looking at Xiao Baoxin’s face that was full of rosy clouds and not very shy was enough to make her happy for half a year.
“How can 1 be in such a hurry? I’m just in time for you to go to Second Shen’s place. It’s not like I’m sending someone to keep an eye on your Rong An Tang.”
Xie Wan smiled ambiguously.
Xiao Baoxin’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this. As expected, he heard Xie Wan continue,
“It was brother who sent someone to my place and asked me to go to the second household to support you. Don’t let second aunt make things difficult for you.”
His original words were naturally not so straightforward, but that was what he meant. There was no need to hide between the siblings. Who didn’t know each other?
Xie Wan stood under the shadows of the forest, her figure graceful. Her face was half-smiling. She was already 6o – 70% similar to Xie Xian, but her smile made her look even more like him.
“Sister-in-law, do you still want to argue with me here?”Xie Wan saw the changes in her expression and could not help but tease,”I don’t want to be despised by Brother after being despised by Mother.”
After saying that, he left with the maid with a smile.
“Master Lang is really considerate of Madam.” Tangli stepped forward and sighed softly.
Xiao Baoxin couldn’t stop smiling. He had said that he would let her stand alone and provoke this Xie family’s backyard sooner or later, but in reality, he had made arrangements everywhere. He was worried that she would be bullied, so he actually brought up his own sister.
She was a person who would not suffer losses, but this personality did not work well in front of the elders.
Others would not argue with you-after all, Madam Yin of the Yuan family was a minority and loved to argue with the younger generation-but she would only use the elders ‘money to make you suffer some hidden losses. After saying a few words, she would not just retort back. After all, she was the aunt of her in-laws. She had to endure it no matter how good it was.
Fighting or talking was the final solution between the younger generation. It was not suitable for the elders. No matter how reckless she was, she was clear in her heart. Some people were happy to have grudges. It could only be between the same generation, or even between the same generation.
For example, no matter how domineering she was, she could not really fight with the royal family. There had to be a roundabout way to fight back, and it was even more so with her elders. How many upright waists were bent by this word?
How could she not be touched that Xie Xian had managed to scheme against her and even took care of her?
Xiao Baoxin happily returned to Rong Antang, only to realize that the person waiting for her was not Xie Xian.
A guest came to the manor and he was receiving him in the main hall. On the contrary, Ming Yue ordered people to bring over a pile of account books and two nannies. They were both in their forties and did not smile. One had a long face and the other had a square face.
They were all nannies who had been with Lady Yuan for many years. Their long faces were gentler, and their surname was Fang, known as Granny Fang. The square-faced Granny Zhao was taller and had bigger eyes. However, the lines on her face were downwards, making her look serious and rigid.
“Rong An Hall is different from the public school. Rong An Hall has its own set of accounts, which are all left behind by Furen and the late master. There are also the rewards and property that the former master received from the palace. They are all stored in the treasury, and Furen’s dowry is placed in the western treasury. It is just that they are in different rooms, so it is convenient for Furen to store and spend.”
“In the past, these were all managed by Qingfeng and this lowly one. Master Lang instructed that in the future, everything in Rong An Hall will be managed by Madam. In addition, Master Lang was worried that Madam was not familiar with the affairs of the residence and would inevitably be hindered, so he invited two nannies from the old madam. Granny Fang and Granny Zhao were both dowries from the old madam. When the old madam was in charge of the palace, she had the help of these two nannies.”
“Old Furen thinks highly of the two nannies and is currently only assisting Furen. Once Furen has adapted and completely sorted out the matters in the residence, she will return to Old Furen.”
Xie Xian was the head of the Xie family. After the marriage, Xiao Baoxin was the wife, and the original Madam Yuan was called the Old Madam for the sake of distinction. Mother Xie naturally addressed her as Grand Madam, and the servants could clearly distinguish between these.
“This servant greets Furen.” The two nannies bowed and greeted her, not showing the slightest bit of arrogance they had when they were serving Lady Yuan or Xiao Baoxin.
Anyone with a brain could see Xie Xian’s status in the residence, especially Madam Yuan-she was the mother of the treasure, and she was the mother of the treasure. Everything was based on his son. His son was good looking, smart, and talented. It was all because his son was good.
The servants thought highly of Xie Xian and naturally did not dare to neglect Xiao Baoxin..
