Chapter 280 - 280: 280-Thunderous
Yesterday, after Chancellor Xie caused a ruckus in Yi An Hall, he didn’t even return to the third branch and spent the entire night outside. But she didn’t care. No matter what he did, she was still the legitimate wife of the Xie family. As long as she didn’t have the intention to abdicate, no one could shake her position. Moreover, Mother Xie wasn’t muddle-headed and wouldn’t let Chancellor Xie cause trouble.
Madam Wang did not even think about the divorce. In her case, there was only widowhood!
This was just a scandal. It was fine to cut it out and deal with it.
If she really divorced, how would she deal with her daughter, who was about to get married and had yet to discuss marriage? The in-laws looked down on them, and the Wang and Xie families could not afford to lose face.
Therefore, the first step of her retaliation was to take care of that bastard son by her side. Xie Laosan would then have a legitimate son.
The fact that she did not have a son was the only thing that made him complain. If this was resolved, what right did he have to do anything?
If she let that vixen into the manor, would there be any peaceful days in the future? She would rather die together with her than let her in.
Everyone could see that Madam Wang was anxious, and Mother Xie said,”We usually offer sacrifices on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It just so happens that today is the first day of the first lunar month.”
“As for issuing the clan certificate in the ancestral hall, go to Xiapi with All Lang and Bao Xin in two months. We will inform our ancestors at home and officially bring them to you to raise.”
Madam Wang pondered for a while. She wanted to press the clan register as early as possible. She wished that she could burn incense in the manor today and go to Xiapi to open the ancestral hall the next day to present the genealogy.
However, when she was brought up by Mother Xie, she suddenly hesitated.
If she left, the third room would be empty.
If Third Brother Xie were to come to the family at this time, Mother Xie would not be able to withstand his coaxing and pestering, or if she did not want to fall out with her son. After all, taking a concubine was not the same as marrying a wife. It was very likely that Mother Xie would not be as firm as when she supported Xie Xian to get married.
After all, she was a daughter-in-law. She could not compare to the eldest grandson of Mother Xie’s heart. She could not even compare to Third Brother Xie. They were mother and son. If they were to make an exception and bring the Cheng family into the residence, she would not be able to make up for the loss.
She was taking the initiative to leave the battlefield and create the conditions for the enemy to win.
She would not dig her own grave.
“Mother is right, then go with All Lang and Bao Xin.””I’ll listen to Mother,” said Madam Wang with a smile.”
She pushed all the blame on her. Mother Xie smiled but did not say anything. She saw through it but did not expose it.
“Congratulations, Mrs.,” Xiao Baoxin said.
It was rare for Madam Wang to have the face to show Xiao Baoxin kindness, so she smiled at her.
“I was thinking of giving the child a name, but… Chancellor used to push it a little bigger, but now he probably didn’t have the mood. He went to Madam Cheng’s place last night and didn’t come back. It just so happens that I’m going to carry him in front of my ancestors today.”
Mother Xie looked at Xie Xian.
“Does Ah Lang have a good idea?”
“How about Zhao?” It’s as clear as the sun and moon.”
Madam Wang was naturally dissatisfied that Mother Xie had pushed the matter of naming to Xie Xian. After all, Xie Xian was a junior and was of the same generation as her Bruiser. How could he give names to people of the same generation?
As a result, she was extremely satisfied the moment she said the word ‘Zhao’.
The meaning was good, and it was also beside the word ‘sun’, which was equivalent to Xie Xian.
“This name is good!” Madam Wang’s eyebrows danced.” Zhao, good!”
Mother Xie could tell what she was thinking.” Then let’s name it Zhao, Xie Zhao.””
“Xie Zhao?” At this moment, Lady Yuan walked in from outside and happened to be eavesdropping. She tilted her head to look at the thin and weak Bruiser in Lady Wang’s arms and nodded slowly. “This name is good.”
Then, he greeted Mother Xie.
Before they could sit down, Lady Cai of the second branch came to pay her respects with her two daughters and daughter-in-law, Twelfth Madam Wang.
Lady Cai had lost a lot of weight, and her face was sallow. Her face was haggard, but her eyes were bright, and she was clearly in a good mood. Lady Wang looked at her in a very unpleasant way.
Everyone bowed to each other before sitting down to talk.
“Since your health is not good, you should rest well. There’s no need to mobilize a large number of people to pay your respects. You don’t look well again. Did you vomit badly?”Mother Xie said.
Mrs. Cai looked apologetic.
“My body was really uncomfortable a few days ago, and the doctor told me to recuperate. However, as a daughter-in-law, I should be meditating every morning and evening. She had been feeling better these past two days and had asked the doctor. It would be fine if she walked less every day, so she dared to come over. In the past, he didn’t dare to make decisions on his own, afraid that it would harm his body and he would be ashamed of his mother’s love.”
“This pregnancy does make me vomit a lot. Those few women in the past didn’t torture me like this.”
She turned to Xie Xian and said,”A few days ago, Second Shen was not feeling well. Even your wife was not present when she just entered the house. Second Shen has always felt bad.” Fortunately, Baoxin was a big-hearted person and didn’t take it to heart. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to be an elder anymore. It would be as if I didn’t understand human feelings.”
Her words were flawless. As expected of the daughter-in-law of a concubine in a large family. It was not easy to be.
“No, we are juniors. Second Shen’s body is not good and should rest well. If we can’t understand the ways of the world, then it’s our fault.”Xie Xian said indifferently.
Xiao Baoxin knew that he had always been this gentle in front of others, so he habitually wore a mask.
He had never had high expectations for others, but he did not put them in his eyes at all.
Madam Wang saw that everyone was almost done with their small talk, so she gently pushed Bruiser in her arms. “Hurry up and thank Grandmother for bestowing the name.”
Bruiser looked weak and timid, but he still said softly,”Thank you for the name, Grandmother.” This was all on Mother Xie.
Mother Xie looked at Tie Dan, Xie Zhao, with satisfaction. He was only two years old, but his words were clear and he was not afraid in front of everyone. As a bastard son, this was already rare.
Madam Wang wanted to show off, so she asked Xie Zhao to greet everyone. Xie Zhao met everyone one by one, and even Xiao Baoxin liked his quiet but polite manner.
Although Lady Cai didn’t walk around the manor, she had heard of the matter.
“This child is not bad.” She was pleasantly surprised.” Third Sister-in-law, if you teach her well, she will definitely be a good person. The three sisters-in-law are blessed.
Madam Wang felt like a fishbone was stuck in her throat. She could listen to anyone, but why did the words of her pregnant Second Sister-in-law sound so unpleasant to the ear? She was blessed to be pregnant with a boy!
Lady Yuan gave a look to the maid behind her, and Qingshuang personally handed the Golden Lock of Longevity to Xie Zhao.
Lady Cai slapped her thigh.” Aiya! I didn’t know that I didn’t even prepare a congratulatory gift when sister-in-law brought the child to me today.” My brain is getting worse after I’m pregnant..Ah Zhao, wait for second aunt to send it to your courtyard later.”
Mrs. Wang: These two sisters-in-law didn’t want her to be happy, so they took turns to slap her face.
It was normal that Lady Cai hadn’t prepared a congratulatory gift. After all, it had happened so suddenly, but Lady Yuan had prepared far too well.
Yesterday, Third Xie had caused a huge ruckus. Today, Madam Yuan had even sent over the Golden Lock of Longevity. He had clearly seen through her anxiety and was looking for an opportunity to get back at her. He was laughing at her for pricking her ears when she got on the sedan chair..
