After Giving Way To My Husband’s Sweetheart

Chapter 22 Xie’s Suppression

While everyone was talking about today's school drills, Sima Zhengren's step-sibling, Mrs. Xie, came into the house with several children.

Love finally met Sima Chuge as she wished.

Both Wang and Xie have the surnames of noble families, but Xie was originally Sima Zhengren’s concubine. After the Luo family was convicted and Luo Fu’s aunt Luo was demoted, she became the principal wife by relying on the power of her natal family.

Although Ms. Xie is just in her early thirties, perhaps because of all the hard calculations she has made over the years, her face is already showing an old look. Her bitter face is always slumped, her eyebrows are slender, and she does not speak. , the eyes are also turning non-stop.

Mrs. Xie took several of her children to greet Mrs. Tai. After everyone sat down, Mrs. Tai glanced at Sima Chuge and asked, "I heard that Ge'er was ill a while ago. Are you feeling better now?"

Sima Chuge was quietly glancing at Love. When she heard the wife talking to her, she quickly sat down properly and respectfully replied: "Thank you, grandma, for your concern. My granddaughter is much better now."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Tai's face darkened, she rolled her eyes at Mr. Xie, and said, "It's not a big deal. If you're a rebel or not, you should be more careful about what you say."

Love also echoed her and said: "With my grandmother's love, my cousin's illness can be mostly cured."

Sima Chao glanced at Love and said to Mrs. Xie: "Second sister has just arrived. Since she is not close enough to the sisters, the second aunt will just let her stay for a while. Why bother her like this." Seeing that Sima Chao deliberately protected Love and disobeyed her, she gritted her teeth angrily and said to the dowager: "Mother-in-law, look at what the rules are. These juniors are all going to rebel."

 Mr. Xie did not dare to say anything after hearing this. Sima Chuge wiped away his tears, said "thank you" to the dowager, and sat down next to Luo Fu.

As she said that, she winked at the maid beside her. The maid understood and stepped forward to drag Sima Chuge away, but was stopped by Luo Fu.

After listening to Sima Rui's words, the wife looked at her aggrieved granddaughter and said, "Rui'er is right. Let Ge'er have a day off today and follow everyone to the school grounds to relax."

Sima Rui was sitting under the old lady. He tried to calm down the atmosphere and said: "Since the second cousin is in a bad mood today, don't force her anymore. The whole family has to go to the school today, so I will simply give it to the second cousin." Give her a day off and let her go and relax. Once she relaxes her mind and body, she will be in a better mood and be able to practice etiquette better. Otherwise, if she is stuck in the yard all day, even a good person will get into trouble. .”

Sima Chuge was about to be sent to the palace. Xie kept her in the yard like a prisoner all day long. She was also looking forward to seeing cousin Love. Love was the only relative in the house who could think about her. Seeing Love right in front of her and about to be sent back before she could say a word, Sima Chuge's tears of grievance fell down.

Seeing that Sima Chuge was still crying, Ms. Xie gradually lost her patience. She pinched Sima Chuge secretly with her hands under her wide sleeves, and her tone could not hide her impatience: "You kid, why are you becoming more and more ignorant as you get older?" Really? You are really spoiled by me. Go away quickly. If your father finds out that you are so ignorant, he may punish you again."

Love looked at Xie and said, "My cousin must have something to hide, and it's really inappropriate for my second aunt to push her so hard."

Mrs. Taifu echoed: "Yes, Afu should go too."

Mrs. Tai nodded slightly when she heard this, and Mrs. Xie took the opportunity to say: "Ge'er will enter the palace in less than two months. Now she is busy learning the rules and etiquette from her tutor. I will take her to ask my mother-in-law today. Now that she is safe, I will send her back to continue practicing etiquette. I hope my mother-in-law won’t be offended."

Luofu was eager to talk to Sima Chuge, so she naturally wouldn't shirk it after hearing the words.

Seeing Love's resistance, Ms. Xie rolled her eyes, looked at Love up and down, and said with a half-smile: "Ms. Luo, I am your elder. I am disciplining my daughter. It is your turn." Pointing fingers, in front of everyone, what do you mean by making such a fuss?"

 One hundred and eighty-five. Two hundred and twenty-eight. Two-six. Forty-two

"Let's go, you have to enter the palace. It's important to learn the rules. If you are reluctant to leave your grandmother, mother will bring you here tomorrow."

As she said this, she looked at Mrs. Tai and saw that Mrs. Xie was silent. She looked at Sima Chao with a look of great dissatisfaction and said, "Chao'er, your side room is so rude, shouldn't you take care of it?" Tube."

As she spoke, she looked at everyone with a smile and said in a pleasant manner: "This child is spoiled by me and the second master. He will cry when he encounters the slightest thing that doesn't go his way, making everyone laugh."

Mrs. Tai nodded and said: "In that case, you should order someone to send Ge'er back first. It's just that she is weak. Even if she is in a hurry to practice etiquette, she shouldn't be too tight."

Seeing Sima Chuge clinging to Luo Fu, Sima Rui said casually: "It's rare that my second cousin is free today. Since she likes to cling to Cousin Luo, Cousin Luo should also accompany her for the day and go to the school grounds together."

Ms. Xie has a competitive temperament. She quickly acted like a loving mother in front of everyone, smiled at Sima Chuge and said, "Can Ge'er be reluctant to part with your grandmother?"

The Wang family was acrimonious. When the Luo family was in charge of the second house, the Wang family was at odds with her. Now it's the Xie family's turn. The two sisters-in-law are just trying to keep up appearances, but in private they are fighting openly and secretly. Each one wants to suppress the other. One end.

 For the sake of the future of the Sima family, although the Tai Madam agreed to send her granddaughter to the palace, it did not mean that the old man did not really feel distressed.

"Okay, why are you still crying during this song?" When Wang saw Sima Chuge like this, although she looked concerned, there was a gloating smile on her lips.

 Mrs. Tai always liked Love. After hearing this, the old man finally showed a little smile.

Seeing Mrs. Xie slumping in front of Mrs. Wang, the smile on Mrs. Wang's face grew stronger. Mrs. Xie secretly rolled her eyes at Mrs. Wang. After all, she couldn't resist her mother-in-law. She could only admit her mistake and said calmly: "My daughter-in-law made a mistake in a moment of impatience. I still hope that my mother-in-law will make a mistake." Don’t blame me, mother.”

Hearing this, Sima Chuge quickly thanked: "Thank you grandma for your love." Then he looked at Love expectantly.

 She glanced at the Madam, then smiled at Sima Rui, who had saved Sima Chuge from danger, and replied: "In this case, I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

The wife waved her hand and said: "That's all, it's easy for the brothers and sisters to get together. Since Ge'er hasn't sat enough yet, just let her stay for a while. Even if she is in a hurry to practice etiquette, she can take this time and a half."

Mrs. Tai finally became cheerful again, and Sima Rui also smiled politely at Love.

Sima Chao, who was sitting next to Love, had a heavy gaze.
