Chapter 475 - 475: A Young Man Without Wind
Loitering around all day long, he was just a playboy.
Back then, who didn’t know what kind of person Zhong Liu was? Even the aristocratic families couldn’t find anyone to marry.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Princess Kang Le still had the title of princess, in order to give the royal family face, the title of Fuma Commandant wouldn’t even be given to him. Only Princess Kang Le took her seriously and put on the airs of a princess.
Princess Kang Le was pulled by Mother Xie to reminisce about the past. They did not say much before someone came in from outside.
Xiao Baoxin watched as the people started to move. It was not appropriate for them to sit here. Even if they came to socialize, she could not stand it.
She got up and went to Mother Xie.
“Ning, Aunt Fifteen, and I will go out for a walk. Grandmother and the Furen will chat. We juniors will not be an eyesore here.”
Mother Xie smiled.” Hurry up and go. I know you can’t sit still.””
Princess Kang Le naturally knew of Xiao Baoxin’s reputation, but she was not very proud of it. She felt that he was too ill-mannered and had fought everywhere to make enemies.
However, things were different now. After marrying into the Xie family, she had become a phoenix.
And she had a big belly…
“This is Xuan Hui’s wife? I’ve seen her before, and she looked like she was going all out. I didn’t expect that after she married into your family, her entire temperament would become warm and beautiful. It’s still the Xie family’s environment that nurtures people. Look at her now, she really looks like a noble daughter from an aristocratic family.”
Madam Yin chuckled. She was an idiot and attacked indiscriminately.
Du Du didn’t have time to gloat over Mrs. Yuan’s misfortune when she opened her mouth and said,””Princess ‘words are too flattering. My Xie residence cannot afford to mention it. Baoxin’s rules had always been excellent, all thanks to Sikong Xiao and Madam Xie’s teachings. Our Xie family only had sharp eyes and recognized a treasure.”
Everyone thought,”Do you think we don’t know Lady Xiao?”
Mother Xie picked up the warm teacup and took a sip. She smiled as she watched her daughter-in-law stand up for her granddaughter-in-law. She had no intention of mediating at all.
Princess Kang Le’s smile froze and she said dryly,””It’s me who doesn’t know how to praise people. It’s better to talk less in the future.”
She had been unwilling to socialize with these aristocratic families for a long time in the Zhong residence. It was purely because she had been secretly attacked by these aristocratic girls when she was young.
Princess Kang Le was only born from Emperor Xian De’s unfavored concubine. She had the title of princess and did not receive any profound education. No one cared to teach her, so she only knew a few words.
In the eyes of the noble ladies, she was no different from an illiterate.
She always had a feeling of being ostracized.
However, the noble ladies looked down on her, and she also looked down on the poor families, forming a perfect chain of contempt.
Therefore, she dared to point fingers at Xiao Baoxin, but she still could not stand up to Madam Yuan, a noble lady from a proper aristocratic family. Many years ago, she had seen the fear of being dominated by Madam Yuan. She was a woman who was too unyielding.
“Princess must be joking. Princess has always been generous and likes to joke with juniors.”Lady Yuan smiled and said to Xiao Baoxin,””Don’t take it to heart, my dear daughter-in-law. The princess is just joking with you, praising you for becoming more and more graceful and magnanimous.”
Xiao Baoxin smiled like a spring breeze, as if nothing had happened.
Her mother-in-law had already retorted, so what could happen?
“I don’t dare to be graceful. It’s getting bigger and bigger.”
Mother Xie almost spat out her tea.” Where did this little wife come from? She’s so glib.””
“You’re from the Xie residence!” Xiao Baoxin laughed.
“How did you become a member of the Xie family? They say that a daughter is like water that has been poured out when she’s married.”Madam Xie had just entered the room and listened to half a section when she couldn’t help but laugh.
It wasn’t that she didn’t know how much the Xie family doted on Xiao Baoxin, so she naturally wouldn’t think that the Xie family was bullying her daughter.
“Mother.” Xiao Baoxin hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, while Xiao Ning and Wang Qiang followed closely behind.
Just as she was about to leave, Madam Xie stopped her as soon as she entered the room. It was not good for her to leave as soon as her own mother came.
However, just as he sat down, Madam Yuan of the Chu family’s second branch came again.
Behind her was Madam Zhou from the eldest branch.
Lady Xun of the third household had built a small temple hall and did not care about worldly affairs. The concubine who was close to Third Master Chu was not presentable. It was her sister’s birthday, and Lady Yuan could not bring it out to cause trouble.
As for Madam Zhou, Madam Wang had been in poor health recently and was getting better by the day.
Madam Zhou was the eldest daughter-in-law and was in charge of the Chu family’s food. Even if she had a falling out with Chu Dalang, she still held onto the power of management and did not let go. She had to come out to welcome and send him off.
After entering the house, they greeted each other. Seeing that the house was getting more and more lively, Lady Yuan took Xiao Baoxin and the younger ladies out to play so that they wouldn’t feel uncomfortable being stuck in front of her.
Madam Yin winked at Yuan Jiuniang.”
“Go play with your cousin-in-law. We’re relatives now, so don’t take it too hard.”
Yuan Jiuniang did not wait for a response, but the Shi Ning County Master had finished talking to Princess Kang Le and went to Madam Yin.”Furen, then I will go with Jiuniang.”She revealed an obedient smile.
The problem was that the Ning County Head was not a well-behaved person. In the past, when had he not been bossy in front of the ladies?
Yuan Jiuniang was shocked.
Princess Kang Le was so angry that her mouth almost crooked. Her square face was already ugly to begin with, and when her face sank, it became even uglier.
Others might not know, but how could she not know what her daughter was up to?
This year, the Ning County was supposed to marry into the Zhou family, but the Zhou family collapsed and the marriage was called off. Her daughter’s heart was revived, and she told her about Yuan Chen’s talent openly and secretly.
Princess Kang Le sent people to investigate, but it was fine if he was a wanderer, but he was a young man.
However, no matter how loose she was, she could not have an affair with a man.
Not only was there another man, but there was also an affair with Prince Huaiyang.
Princess Kang Le was disgusted. Fortunately, the people he sent out were careful. Otherwise, his daughter’s heart would have been muddle-headed. If he married into the Yuan family, his daughter’s relationship with her brother would really be in chaos.
It was disgusting just thinking about it, but he couldn’t tell Shi Ning County Head about this. No matter what, she was just an inexperienced little girl.
She had no shame as a mother.
Who knew that Shi Ning County Head was so stubborn and had his eyes set on Yuan Chen. Now, he couldn’t even move when he saw his mother, and he was trying to increase his presence.
“Shi Ning, why are you still dawdling?!””Get out!” Kangle County Master Kang Le shouted angrily.”
Shi Ning County Master replied,”! can’t play with Lady Xiao.””
“I love playing with Jiuniang.””
Madam Yin raised her eyebrows and smiled. She had noticed something.
“The county head is innocent and naive, and she has a simple and straightforward personality. Princess, don’t hold her back…Jiuniang, go play with the He County lord.”
Princess Kang Le didn’t have a good look in her eyes. Did she need her to praise her? Couldn’t she just say that her daughter was silly?
Madam Yin was not afraid of her at all. She looked back at her with a smile. Their eyes were so bright that sparks could be seen in the air.
Ever since Yuan Jiuniang’s marriage failed, she had become even more observant. She did not want to be caught in the middle of a few families and was affected. She pulled Shi Ning County Master and walked out.
“Cousin’s wife, wait for us..”
