Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

Mrs. Xu was so nervous that her palms were sweating.

Old Master Xu was completely stunned, unable to hide his surprise, and asked, "Your aunt has returned to the capital?"

"When did this happen? Where does she live? Does she have a place to stay? Who is she living with?"

After asking a series of questions, Old Master Xu seemed to realize that he had gone too far, and quickly stopped talking, saying, "I'm not concerned about her, I just want to ask what her current situation is."

Seeing this, Master Xu suppressed his smile and said, "Yes, yes, Dad, as far as we know, my aunt lives with her daughter and son-in-law."

"My aunt's grandson is the top three scholar in this year's imperial examination!"

The old man was surprised when he heard this and asked, "What did you say? The third place winner of this year's imperial examination is from the Lu family?"

"Yes, Dad. My aunt's grandson is called Lu Jianchuan. Dad, have you also heard of the name Lu Jianchuan?" Mrs. Xu smiled flatteringly.

Although the old man usually doesn't take care of things, he was a powerful figure when he was young. Madam Xu dared not show off her wits in front of her father-in-law.

Mrs. Xu was slightly surprised that the old man, who rarely went out, also knew the name of this year's top scholar.

It seems that the old man is not completely oblivious to what is happening outside.

Old Master Xu nodded slowly: "I have heard of it. I went to see it on the day the results were announced."

The son of Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu also took part in the imperial examination this time. On the day when the results were announced, Old Master Xu quietly went out to watch.

However, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Xu did not perform as well as Lu Jianchuan in the exam and only got 27th place in the second class.

Now, Young Master Xu has been assigned to the Ministry of Justice as the head, and he is busy all day long.

"Dad, I really didn't expect that my aunt's grandson is so promising. But I heard that the Lu family came from the countryside before. I don't know what's going on with them. Why did my aunt's daughter marry into a country family?"

Master Xu was muttering to himself, and suddenly he realized that he had said the wrong thing and shut up in time.

Back then, it was hard to understand why my aunt wanted to marry into the He family, which was engaged in business.

I really have a mouth like that! I talk nonsense!

Seeing Master Xu's regretful look, Madam Xu quickly glanced at the old man and said with a smile, "Dad, then why don't you come out to the banquet and meet my aunt and the others?"

Old Master Xu was silent for a while before he said, "Are you sure your aunt will come?"

According to his understanding of his younger sister, if her parents had not been seriously ill, her younger sister, who was so stubborn, would never have come back.

Madam Xu: ...

By the way, Ah Shu told her that only people from the Lu family would come, but she didn’t say whether Mrs. He would be among them?

"Ahem, Dad, I really didn't ask this clearly." Mrs. Xu looked embarrassed.

Just now, I blamed her for being too excited and not asking clearly. I don’t know whether my aunt will come back.

However, people from the Lu family will come after all.

Old Master Xu waved his hand and said, "Forget it, we'll know the day after tomorrow. Anyway, she lives nearby now, so it's easy to meet her."

Madam Xu and Master Xu looked at each other, nodded, and stood up to say goodbye.

Two days passed quickly, and it was the day of the banquet at Xu's Mansion.

Madam Xu got up early and was busy directing the maids and servants to decorate the yard.

Gradually, people from the second and third branches of the Xu family also arrived.

Madam Xu pretended to be affectionate and smiled, "Oh, thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law. You got up so early."

"Brother Lin has been making a lot of noise recently. I can't sleep well at night. I'm late. Will sister-in-law blame me?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Xu San hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law has always been capable. She can do the work of several of us. How could she blame us?"

Upon hearing this, the maidservant beside Madam Xu was so angry that she wanted to stand up and speak for her, but was stopped by Madam Xu.

Madam Xu sneered and said calmly, "Since the second and third sister-in-law are here, please find a place to sit."

"You can't help much anyway, so it doesn't matter whether you come early or late."

When these words were spoken, Mrs. Xu, who was always competitive, was so angry that she tightly grasped her handkerchief and could no longer laugh.

"My sister-in-law is really good at talking. She doesn't give anyone any mercy."

She always felt that her family background was no worse than Yang Yaqin's, it was just because her second master was born out of wedlock and had no status in the mansion.

Otherwise, could the Xu family still be controlled by Yang Yaqin?

Besides, the reason why I came late is that even if I help, no matter how well I do, the credit will all go to Yang Yaqin!

In that case, it would be better to come later. I don’t want to help at all.

Madam Xu looked indifferent. She glanced at her and said with a half-smile, "Second sister-in-law is really modest. When it comes to talking, how can I compare with you?"

"Right, third sister-in-law?"

Mrs. Xu suddenly mentioned Mrs. Xu San, which scared her.

In the past, when the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law quarreled, she was always the one who watched in silence. Now the eldest sister-in-law actually asked her directly?

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, we are all family, there is no need to be so powerful. Today we are holding a banquet in our house, we can't neglect the guests."

"Sister-in-law, is there anything we can help you with? We are all family, just arrange it."

Mrs. Xu San smiled sincerely. If you didn't know her, you would really be fooled by her look.

Madam Xu retracted her gaze, sneered, and said, "Forget it, I dare not trouble you two, just find a place to sit down."

Ask them to help? She was worried that they would secretly trip her up!

The second and third wives were both born out of wedlock, and her husband was the only legitimate son in the Xu family, so the two wives were united and had always been at odds with the first wife.

There is nothing much to say about this. Sooner or later, the Xu Mansion will belong to their eldest wife.

Even if the second and third wives want to fight, there’s nothing we can do.

Seeing Second Madam Xu being pulled away by Third Madam Xu, Doctor Xu slowly withdrew his gaze and continued to arrange the banquet.

After a while, guests began to arrive one after another.

"Oh, Mrs. Chen, you're here so early. Please come in."

"Mrs. Li, you are here too. Come in and sit down."

"Mrs. Fang, is this your eldest daughter? Oh, she is as pretty as a flower, what a pretty person! Miss Fang, come in quickly..."

Mrs. Xu smiled warmly and entertained the guests one after another.

Mrs. Yuan arrived a little later, and when she arrived at the door, she happened to meet Gu Yunxi and He Feng getting off the carriage.

"Yunxi, what a coincidence. Come on, let's go in." Mrs. Yuan greeted them with a smile.

Gu Yunxi smiled and nodded, took He Feng's arm, and followed Madam Yuan into the room.
