Chapter 462: Big Melon
Translator: 549690339
Although the head of the Fan family had rebelled against the court, Emperor Yong Ping was magnanimous and did not pursue the rest of the Fan family.
The Fan family members who served in the court were not pursued, and some of the Fan family members were even sent out to quell the rebellion.
Each of them is a family, and each of them is a master.
Those Fan family members were still active. How could they allow the Xie family to take advantage of them and act like they were good? They were already envious of the Xie family’s rise in power. When the Xie family broke off the engagement, the Fan family’s head had just rebelled. The Fan family members were all trembling in fear like quails. No one dared to say anything because they were afraid of being punished.
In the end, time would reveal a person’s heart. Emperor Yong Ping really did not plan to settle any scores. Not only did he do his best for the court, but he was also active in various positions. He wanted to make contributions and perform well to repay the king’s kindness.
The main reason was that the various aristocratic families had rebelled one after another. The Emperor was generous and benevolent. He would never vent his anger on others. He would still put them in important positions. Now that the Fan family had straightened their backs, they had the right to speak again.
At this time, the Xie family’s Second Lady made such a big joke, the Fan family would have something to say.
With the end of the national funeral, the entire Jiankang City looked brand new. The various residences could also visit each other, so the gossip spread faster and more.
Madam Wang was so angry that she fell ill.
Xie Shan was so embarrassed that she couldn’t face anyone. She covered her face and wanted to twist her hair to become her sister-in-law.
Xiao Baoxin’s words cut off the thought.
“Don’t you remember how Zhou Weiniang died? At this time, you still want to be my sister-in-law?”
Not to mention the young Xie Second Niangzi who couldn’t take it, even her own mother-in-law, Lady Yuan, couldn’t take it either. The medicine was too strong, and she panicked when she heard it.
Zhou Weiniang was from Jiankang City and was a nun in a nunnery outside the city. In the end, she let the bandits do that first and then that.
Xie Shan vomited.” What does it have to do with you whether I live or die?!’”‘After scolding, he ran away. However, he did not mention the idea of being a sister-in-law again. The family did not go out anymore and just stayed in the courtyard. However, when he was performing filial piety in front of Madam Wang’s bed, Madam Wang’s heart ached terribly. She kept nagging about why such a good child had such a bumpy marriage.
The more aggrieved she was, the more unwilling she was to get better. In the end, she even asked Mother Xie to help Xie Shan look after Madam Yuan.
“You’re the only one in the Xie family recently. I remember that your birthday is on the 12th of September. Ever since Dalang left, you haven’t had any more. It just so happens that the national funeral has ended. Even if it’s for Second Mother, you should at least celebrate this year.”
Mother Xie was doing this for Xie Shan and also for Madam Yuan. She was too Buddhist, and her entire being was devoid of any vigor.
“Invite all the famous Furen of Jiankang City over.
Mrs. Yuan had a pure heart and few desires. If it was just to celebrate her birthday, she would naturally reject it. However, Mother Xie’s words carried Xie Shan, so she did not say anything more.
No matter how much she disliked Xie Shan, she was still the wife of the Xie family. If the marriage was not settled well, it would affect the other wives of the Xie family. Therefore, Lady Yuan agreed and immediately issued an invitation.
The Xie family’s current status basically determined that no one would refuse. Although they were cursing behind their backs, no one dared to not give them face. As a result, the aristocratic families of Jiankang City flocked to the Xie residence’s invitation as a symbol of their status.
The birthday celebrant was Xie Xian’s mother, so her status was different.
Madam Wang forced herself to stand up.
If it was just Lady Yuan’s birthday celebration, Lady Wang would definitely not have recovered so quickly. However, after learning from Mother Xie that it was for the sake of her Second Lady’s marriage, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to do it.
Mother Xie took care of Lady Wang’s health. Because the few wives in the family had reached the age of marriage, only the second wife had not yet decided on a family. She was the oldest, and the few wives had reached the time to learn to take charge of the family. Mother Xie sent them to help Lady Wang. From Lady Yuan’s birthday banquet onwards, they followed Lady Wang and learned.
Madam Wang had nothing to say and could only teach with all her heart. Emperor Yong Ping’s wedding was scheduled for September 20th, so it should be a day of celebration.
However, the people of Jiankang City were suffocated during the national mourning period. Ever since the national mourning period, the entire Jiankang City had been opened up. Those aristocratic children who usually loved to attract friends had long been drinking and having fun all night long. Not to mention birthday banquets, even weddings were held almost every day in Jiankang City. From the officials to the commoners, they never stopped.
Chu Lingzi was going to marry on the 12th of September, and the day before, the house was filled with people to put on makeup for her.
Yingchuan Chu’s Di daughter out of the cabinet, naturally and Xiao Miaorong can not be mentioned in the same breath. The Xiao family could be considered a new noble at most. Moreover, it was the eldest branch, Sikong Xiao. It could not be compared to a century-old aristocratic family. They were deeply rooted and had close ties with the various aristocratic families in Jiankang City.
Perhaps Xie Wan’s words had woken Xiao Ning up. It was rare for her to come out and walk around. She sat in the same car as Xie Wan, Xiao Baoxin, and Mrs. Yuan. Mrs. Wang brought Xie Shan, and Xie Chan and Xie Juan sat in the same car. Mrs. Cai’s pregnancy reaction was too big, so she had basically rejected all social events.
If it weren’t for the fact that he was on good terms with Chu Lingzi, Xiao Baoxin would rather lie at home with a big belly. Recently, he had grown older, and his walking posture had become more and more strange. It was difficult for Xiao Baoxin, who loved beauty, to accept it.
Xie Wan and Xiao Ning had nothing to say. The two of them were at odds with each other.
However, Xiao Baoxin could still talk to Xiao Ning. It was nothing more than a common hobby of eating friends. They had already started to date before they had even eaten.
“Ning should come out more often,” said Lady Yuan with a smile.’Tm afraid it’ll be difficult for her to come out after she enters the palace.” Unfortunately, Jiankang City has been in turmoil for the past year, and the political situation has changed drastically. I didn’t have the chance to bring you out.” “Although it’s difficult for me to leave the palace, but I must ask Aisao and Seventh Niang to accompany me in the palace. Aunt is my witness, so don’t refuse in the future.”
“It’s getting more and more fake.” Xie Wan put on a standard smile in response. Xiao Baoxin heard her secretly criticizing her.
“That will have to wait until I unload the little thing in my stomach. Otherwise, with my big belly, I won’t be able to sit or stand either. I’m not going to accompany you. I’m going to cause you trouble.”Xiao Baoxin touched his stomach.
I’m also complaining inside, occasionally watching a show, having fun, really pricking, women piling up inside, really annoying, really annoying.
-I’m not afraid of you causing trouble. You’d better trouble trouble me.’”‘
Mrs. Yuan looked at Xiao Ning and said,” You’re an honest child. I won’t say anything else. You’re already in charge of the family at such a young age. No one can fool you.” Do you know that the emperor has already decided on the concubine candidates?”
“The Chu family’s third branch’s direct daughter, Jiuniang, was chosen. There was also the Eighth Mother of the Minister of Rites, and the Seventh Mother of the Second household of the He family, who was also the cousin of the Emperor’s aunt. There was also the Empress Dowager’s Tenth Lady. He would enter the palace in three months, probably before the new year.”
Her words silenced the entire carriage. No one knew that Madam Yuan had stirred up a big commotion without any warning..
