Chapter 546 - 546-I’d Rather Die
Madam Wang was just here to watch the show. It had nothing to do with her, so she didn’t care much about it. Seeing that Mother Xie and Mrs. Yuan were clearly standing on Xie Xian’s side and denouncing Xie Qing, she was too lazy to interfere and changed the topic.
“You’re her aunt. Isn’t that just a matter of a word?”Mother Xie said.
Even though she said this, she quickly agreed. She did not want to give Madam Wang the chance to use her elders ‘money to pressure her grandson in the future.
“When Ah Lang comes back, Bao Xin, inform him first and let him come to Yi An Hall to see me. I will personally mention it to him.”
“How is it?” The last question was for Madam Wang.
Madam Wang and Mother Xie had been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for many years. How could she not understand what Mother Xie meant? She did not know whether to laugh or cry.
She knew that this was a bastard son that she had brought to her side. If she really gave birth to a child that was about the same age as Xie Xian and was treated differently by Mother Xie, she was afraid that she would not be able to pull it out even if she dug into a dead end.
“Although I am the aunt, after all, Ah Lang is the master of the Xie family. He is busy with the government all day long. It is not good for me to go up rashly.”Mrs. Wang was smiling on the surface, but in her heart, she had omitted a few hundred words of ridicule.
It was just that the eldest branch was like the sun at noon, and the son that Madam Wang could rely on was only three years old. In the future, she would have to rely on Xie Xian. After thinking through the crux, Madam Wang did not make a fuss and was very easy to talk to.
Xie Qing’s matter was over just like that. Xiao Baoxin didn’t stay any longer. After Madam Cai gave birth, she had to go and take a look.
After Xiao Baoxin left, Mother Xie said to Lady Yuan,””Third daughter-in-law’s words are actually reasonable. After all, you and the Cai Family’s matriarch are blood-related sisters. Don’t worry about the men in front of you. It’s their business. Don’t hurt your sisterhood because of this.”
“Ah Lang is now an official in the court. He is so young and has a high position.”
“Ah Lang has his own way of doing things. Sometimes, it’s inevitable that he will be a little radical, but there’s no need for us in the backyard to be radical too…On the contrary, it makes people think that our Xie family has no dust in their eyes. Especially our relatives, you should be gentler in your actions.” Everything was planned for Xie Xian.
Mrs. Yuan also sighed. The knot in her heart had been there for many years. Between her family and her son, she naturally chose her son.
“Mother is right, wife knows.”
“If the Cai family comes looking for you in the future, you just have to receive them well. It’s not good that the men in front of you will break their heads and the women in the back house will fall out with you.”
“Yes, I think so too. After all, it’s a relative’s Dao. It’s not good to be too stiff.”Madam Wang thought to herself that there was finally someone who could say something fair.
Otherwise, not to mention others, she would feel that the Xie family was too unyielding.
After all, the truth of the matter had yet to be known, and it had already been brought to court. This was considered a scandal in the great clans.
“I know my limits.” Madam Yuan’s expression was clearly displeased. Mother Xie had said it, but Madam Wang, her sister-in-law, had not.
Madam Wang almost couldn’t keep her face up.
Mother Xie took a sip of tea and pretended not to hear or see anything.
“.. I arranged for the pregnant woman brought back by Jiu Lang to be placed in a small courtyard of the little elder. I also sent two maids and an old woman to clean the place. I also allocated two hundred taels of silver from the government for her to use.”Madam Wang said,
“Second Uncle’s meaning is that the child should stay in the residence.”
” It’s his second branch’s matter.” Mother Xie looked impatient.” Since he has decided, let’s do it if the Cai family has no objections.” As for the dead one… Let’s bury them properly.
Xie Jiu was the one who had committed the sin. He couldn’t let a good person die without a burial place.
“There’s no need to be stingy with money. Find a temple and add some incense money to recite the scriptures.”
Madam Wang:” My wife knows that my mother is kind. Although she is angry, she can’t bear it. Yesterday, she had already been buried. As for chanting scriptures and ferrying souls, I’ll go back to my room and find a trustworthy nanny…After asking Jiulang’s birth characters and name, he went to do it.” “But, he died in the Second household, after all. Do you need to find a master to take a look?”
Madam Wang would rather believe such a thing than not believe it.
Not only did her mother feel disgusted when she mentioned this, but Mrs. Yuan also felt extremely disgusted.
“I also think that sister-in-law’s words are reasonable. It’s better to find a master to read and recite scriptures as a training ground. However, it was time for Second Uncle to take care of Jiulang. Doing whatever he wanted would bring shame to the reputation of the Xie residence. It would not be good to start this.”
Madam Wang naturally raised her hands in agreement.
Xie Laosan had learned from the past, and it was hard to guarantee that he would be bewitched by the little vixen and bring her to the residence again.
“You’re right. We’re an aristocratic family, after all. How can we allow anyone to enter? What will others think of us?” Madam Wang snorted coldly. If it was up to him, she would not even let the child whose mother died at birth be adopted.
However, it was not a matter of the third branch after all. It had nothing to do with her, so she was not willing to step in.
Mother Xie had already said that it was up to the second branch to decide whether the child would stay or not. Since they had already decided, there was no room for her to say anything.
However, he looked down on Second Master Xie’s actions. After all, he was a bastard son and could not be seen in public. He didn’t care about his birth. He treated his children like treasures. Were there still many children in his second family? They had the most children in the Xie family, and they were really greedy to drag them into the house.
“Jiu Lang must be restrained. In the past, the heavens were high and the emperor was far away, so we couldn’t care less. Now that you’re back, don’t cause trouble everywhere and add to the Xie family’s troubles.”Madam Wang said.
Mrs. Yuan glanced at her and agreed.
###
Xiao Baoxin went straight to the second household after leaving Yi An Hall. Before he entered, he heard the sounds of quarreling inside, the cries of children, and the sound of porcelain shattering.
Because Second Master Xie had left the child of the woman who had died of massive bleeding behind, Madam Cai had already gotten into a fight with him.
It was all the fault of the pot that had sharp ears and eyes. Madam Cai had scolded Second Master Xie so badly that she would rather die than live in shame.
Xiao Baoxin had never known that the seemingly gentle and demure Madam Cai had such a fierce side to her. She shouted and shouted, but Second Master Xie only scolded her for being unreasonable. When Madam Cai cried, Second Master Xie immediately wilted.
It was also because Second Master Xie’s career had not been smooth over the past six months that he had spoiled Madam Cai a little. Their relationship had improved greatly.
Now that Madam Cai had given birth to a son, she was full of confidence. Second Master Xie could not help but coax her.
Xiao Baoxin didn’t just want to step inside, he wanted to turn around and go back to Rong An Hall to avoid embarrassment..
