Chapter 699 Chapter 699
Qi Yueniang didn't find out what happened, but when she found out about Xiao Yinxiu, who was always lifeless, she was actually very happy.
A little strange.
When Pei Chen was asked again, it seemed that he had never stayed overnight in her room in the past few days. Why was he so happy?
Qi Yueniang was puzzled.
In the evening, Lanxiang came in from outside and went to the inner room. She whispered to Qi Yueniang who was making clothes for Qin Ge'er, "Madam, the maid behind Doctor Zhao is the wife of the prince."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Yueniang's expression changed suddenly.
After sending the maid away, he whispered to Lanxiang again to confirm, "Is she really the Crown Prince's wife?"
Lanxiang nodded.
"It seems that the Xiao family sent something. Shuangyue was carrying a box by herself. I saw that it was quite heavy, so I went forward to help. When I delivered it to the wing room, I saw the clothes of the maid discarded in a basket."
"Did you see it clearly?"
Lan Xiang nodded, "Madam, I dare not say anything careless. This matter is very important. I have looked at it again and again before telling you."
Qi Yueniang put down her needle and thread and sighed slightly.
"The second son's family is reluctant to give up the household affairs after all."
Lan Xiang's face was filled with worry. "Could it be that he is begging the old lady to take over the housekeeping duties from you, Madam?"
Qi Yueniang lifted the hair from her ears and said, "If she wants to take the household affairs, she can just take them. Besides, if the master doesn't agree, it's useless for the old lady to come out."
At this point, Lanxiang suddenly realized, "Yes! The old lady has made a big mistake. Now that the master is not at home, even if the wife of the prince wants to make trouble, she can't."
"Forget it, just take it one step at a time and be more careful next time."
Qi Yueniang thought, yes, even if she could see the old lady, what would that do? Could it be that the old lady was still as powerful as before, and was controlling her after she came out?
What's more, the fourth brother's family is not easy to deal with!
She suffered no less than the third brother regarding the affairs of the Jianshui House. Even when she occasionally mentioned it to Song Guanzhou, her sister-in-law would not budge.
Little did he know that Xiao Yinxiu didn't think so.
The maid who followed Doctor Zhao into the palace was indeed her in disguise. She avoided the inspection of the guards at the gate and arrived in front of her aunt, Mrs. Xiao.
Old Mrs. Xiao had gained a lot of weight, but her face looked a little pale.
Perhaps it was because she seldom went out to bask in the sun, she sat cross-legged on the kang bed with a gloomy face. When she saw Doctor Zhao come in, she was the first to be insulted.
It was not until several maids could no longer bear the beating, smashing and insulting by her and stood outside the door that Old Madam Xiao stopped going crazy.
When Xiao Yinxiu knelt in front of her, she raised her face and called out in a low voice, "Aunt, it's me, Ah Xiu!"
The old lady was stunned.
She looked around first, and when she was sure that no one was peeping, she asked in a hoarse voice, "Is this courtyard... so difficult to get into?"
For more than half a year, Xiao Yinxiu has never come to see him once.
Old Xiao’s face was full of hatred!
Tearing at the corner of Xiao Yinxiu's clothes, "I treated you like my own daughter, but the Pei family doesn't take me seriously. Ah Xiu, how come you have lost your conscience?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yinxiu burst into tears.
"Aunt, my son has been deprived of his power as the housekeeper. I am no longer able to manage household affairs, let alone come to see you. I am even no longer able to speak loudly in the mansion."
"You are Brother Chen's daughter-in-law!"
As the wife of a prince, who can take away the household supplies?
After saying this, he knelt down in front of Old Madam Xiao and said, "Aunt, look at how I am dressed. If it weren't for the kindness of Doctor Zhao, who found an excuse to make me a medicine servant, how could I have seen you, old lady!"
After saying this, a tearful face was pressed into Old Mrs. Xiao's hands.
The aunt and niece looked at each other with tears in their eyes.
"It's that little bitch from the Song family, right?"
Old Madam Xiao grabbed Xiao Yinxiu's wrist and said through gritted teeth, "That little bitch coaxed the fourth son into losing her sense of propriety, and then she kowtowed to please the master. I really underestimated her tactics."
this--
Xiao Yinxiu whispered, "Aunt, it's not her. Now my uncle has let my eldest sister-in-law take care of the housekeeping."
"Ridiculous! The old lady has been widowed for many years, and now she is the head of the family. She has to socialize with the families, and several families look down on the mansion!"
Xiao Yinxiu was busy crying, but Doctor Zhao beside her had a gloomy face and coughed a few times to remind Xiao Yinxiu that business was more important.
Speaking of business, Doctor Zhao came outside the house, pretending to give instructions to the guarding nanny, but actually avoided the question.
In the inner room, Xiao Yinxiu spoke briefly and reported the affairs of the mansion over the past six months.
When hearing that the Xiao family's accounts were now being handled by the fourth son's family, old Mrs. Xiao became so angry that veins bulged and her face was filled with indignation!
"My elder brother and third brother are both crazy!"
"Aunt, you don't know that the most capable people in this mansion are the couple of the fourth son. As your sister-in-law, how can I have the face to see you, aunt?"
In the end, Xiao Yinxiu talked about the most important thing.
"The fourth family can't have children!"
Before Mrs. Xiao could react, Xiao Yinxiu raised her face and said sadly, "I have no complaints about my eldest sister-in-law taking care of household affairs. It's just something that offends people, so it's better if I don't do it. But..., aunt, the fourth son has a bright future, but now he is almost twenty-four or twenty-five, not only does he have no children, but the fourth son's family is jealous and forces him to take concubines and maids. What should we do if this continues, aunt?"
"absurd!"
Old Madam Xiao was so angry that her chest ached. "How ridiculous! A man should have great ambitions, but how could he be seduced by this vixen?"
Xiao Yinxiu's face was full of grievances. "The fourth brother has been my younger brother since he was young. I am afraid I am closer to him than Cang Ge'er. But now because of the issue of offspring, my sister-in-law... is also a person who is not popular at all. She is even despised if she says too much."
"You're doing this for his own good!"
Old Mrs. Xiao was so angry that her lips trembled and she could hardly speak. It took a long time for her to calm down. "You are my sister-in-law. There are some things that I, as a mother, can do but you can't do. That's it!"
Just forget it?
When Xiao Yinxiu heard this, he was immediately unhappy.
She racked her brains and said a lot, "She really can't have children, and she shouldn't stop the fourth brother from having children. The fourth brother treats her so well, is it possible that she doesn't feel sorry for her man?"
Old Mrs. Xiao never received love from her husband in her life.
I heard Xiao Yinxiu exaggerating and saying that her son An Ge'er didn't plan to have any offspring because of his wife.
If this is the case, why give birth to him? !
Old Mrs. Xiao covered her chest and called her son a rebellious son.
Xiao Yinxiu continued to cry, "I don't expect him to be like the prince, with two brothers and a sister. I'm afraid there will be more in the future. I just want the fourth son to be well-read, take a concubine, and give birth to a brother and put him under the name of the Song family. That would be the best of both worlds!"
Old Xiao sighed, "The master doesn't care?"
Xiao Yinxiu shook his head. "The master is traveling around the world now. No one in the mansion mentions the matter of offspring, except me who said something and made the fourth master and his wife unhappy."
"My rebellious son, my rebellious son, if I had known that this evildoer of the Song family was such a disaster, I would have refused this marriage even if I had to risk my life!"
