Chapter 584 - 584: Dragging Back
Everyone was stunned. When they came back to their senses, they were all laughing their heads off.
After Madam Wang brought up her concubine son, nicknamed Tie Dan and Xie Zhao, she had to take care of everything herself. No matter where she went, she would bring Xie Zhao with her, especially when she went to Yi An Hall to pay her respects every day.
In the beginning, she still wanted to remind Mother Xie at all times and show others the attitude and heart of a legitimate mother.
Later on, she really felt sorry for this child. Seeing that this child was intelligent and that his features had become more delicate and handsome after recuperating for a few days, she often brought him out to show off.
She didn’t expect Xie Zhao to say such words. She was surprised and touched. She hugged her son, who kept calling her ‘me’. She didn’t dote on him for nothing.
Everyone laughed as they spoke. After a while, Zhilan helped Mother Xie to come over from the inner room.
Mother Xie looked at everyone talking and laughing. The atmosphere was very happy, as if the dispute between the three families yesterday did not exist at all. She could not help but sigh in her heart.
In the past, when he saw the Wang family causing trouble, it was because he still had Third Brother in his heart. Now that he could let it go so quickly as if nothing had happened, it was obvious that he did not take it to heart.
Because love produces sorrow, because love produces fear; There is no love, no worry, no fear.
However, this was also the fate of the two of them. He was already in his forties, so she really didn’t have to be anxious. It was all their own choice. They would just have to bear the consequences.
Mother Xie was about to give up on Third Brother Xie. She only hoped that he would stop being a burden to his nephew.
Thinking of Xie Laosan, Mother Xie felt resentful. Fortunately, she still had some motivation to live when she saw the house full of laughter. Then, she looked at Mrs. Yuan, the daughter-in-law she was most proud of. Mother Xie felt more at ease.
It was unrealistic for everyone to be as outstanding as the eldest son. Not only the Xie family, but how many people in Jiankang City were as outstanding as the eldest son?
As the saying goes, a slap is a sweet date. Perhaps the eldest son is that sweet date. Xie Laosan.Jt was the slap that God had given him…
Taking advantage of everyone’s joy, Mother Xie suggested that Xiao Baoxin take over the middle feed on the spot. There was no transition period.
“Anyway, you’ve learned from your third aunt for a while in the past. If you don’t understand anything in the future, just ask. You’re so smart, so it shouldn’t be a problem. Moreover, Seventh Madame has also learned for a while, so you two can also have a discussion.”
“Seeing that Seventh Madame was about to get married, she let go of her hands and feet and took care of the house. She let us elders check on you. The Zhuge family is different from other aristocratic families. They have many elders and a large population. The Zhuge family only has the father and son. If you marry them, you will have to manage the rear residence directly. You can’t be careless.”
Madam Wang’s face stiffened.
Although it was something that they had expected, didn’t they feel that it was too urgent for Mother Xie to take care of the eldest branch’s family?
After all, she had just finished her confinement yesterday, and she was going to take back her power today?
“Baoxin still has to take care of Ah Yan. Can he handle it?”Madam Cai asked hesitantly. She wasn’t on Madam Wang’s side, and her question was purely sincere.
Mother Xie didn’t wait for Xiao Baoxin to say anything. She clapped her hands and laughed.”Or maybe Ah Lang married a good wife and told me long ago that he would let his mother-in-law take care of Ah Yan after she gave birth. I thought she was acting coquettishly, but in the end, Bao Xin wanted to send Ah Yan over after the confinement period.”
Madam Cai looked at Xiao Baoxin in surprise.
“Then…Very good, Baoxin is filial.”
He didn’t know what else to say. If it were her, she wouldn’t be able to do it. Little Thirteen was her life now. Perhaps it was because Little Thirteen was old, but she had given birth to Little Thirteen with half her life. She treated Little Thirteen like an eyeball, and the pain was so painful that it hurt her bones.
“So this is what we agreed on earlier.” Since Bao Xin was already prepared, I won’t say anything, lest people say that I’m greedy for power and don’t like to let go. Originally, this kind of thing should be handled by Eldest Sister-in-law. However, these years, Eldest Sister-in-law did not care about secular matters, and I was born a secular person, so I reluctantly took over.”
“Although there were no hiccups, in the end, it wasn’t as he wished.”
“Now that my daughter-in-law is willing and has time to share, that’s great.”After saying that, he brushed off the dust that did not actually exist on his sleeve, bowed to Mother Xie, and turned to leave.
“I’ll call someone to pack up the accounts and register and send them to Rong An Hall.”
“Mother, I’ll go with you!”Xie Zhao bowed respectfully to Mother Xie, then bowed to all the aunts, sisters-in-law, and sisters before walking out with his short legs.
When Madam Wang heard this from outside, her heart ached. Then, she felt warm again. At least she didn’t dote on this child for nothing.
However, she completely hated Third Master Xie. If he hadn’t done that, would the chief branch have reached over so quickly? She did not even have a place to stand.
What right did Xiao Baoxin have to snatch the power of the family right after giving birth?
In fact, if Xiao Baoxin hadn’t gotten pregnant the moment he entered the house, he would probably have lost control of the house. After all, Mother Xie had brought up the matter of the butler right after they had just married.
There was no other reason than that the man was not strong enough.
Not only was it not helpful, but it was also a hindrance. The entire family’s scandals were all caused by the third branch.
Madam Wang held Xie Zhao’s small hand and returned to the third room. She was so angry that tears were about to fall. Her maternal family had fallen, and her man was not on her side. Even if she wanted to fight for it, she could not say it. She had no backing and no confidence.
Thinking about Xie Laosan, he might as well die for a good man.
She was said to be ruthless, but that was only in the first few years of their marriage. She did not even give birth to a son, so how could she let someone else give birth?
Because of that dark history, people talked about it for a lifetime. Later, when it was confirmed that she could not give birth to a son, didn’t she let those concubines give birth? A bunch of bastard sons and daughters from a doghouse?
Xie Lao San was indifferent to his family and did not care about it. Instead, he was full of feelings for his wife, who was not even his biological son.
Yesterday, he had excitedly asked her for money to buy a house for his cheap son. If he gave too little, he would even quarrel with her and almost flip the roof over.
Damn it, his money had been ruined by his own debauchery. If he wanted to ask her for money, he had to correct his attitude. He even dared to shout at her. He had been spoiled!
Madam Wang was also furious. She held the kettle and almost didn’t open his head before she finally stopped.
In the end, he was disgusted by the room again early in the morning.
Marriage was a woman’s second reincarnation. Unfortunately, she had fallen into the path of animals!
Madam Wang’s intestines were green with regret.” Ah Zhao, our third branch will be counting on you in the future. You have to grow up. Don’t be like your father!”Every day, he would recite the scriptures in front of Xie Zhao, and Xie Zhao would be able to tell the truth about Third Master Xie’s ridiculous deeds.
“Mother, don’t worry. I definitely won’t be like father.”
Although Xie Zhao was young, he had inherited his intelligence..”! want to be like my eldest brother! A high position and a high salary!”
