The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

In the main hall of the Duke of Wei's mansion.

Sitting at the head was an old lady wearing a gold-woven headband inlaid with gems, looking dignified and solemn. She was Xie Zhu, the old lady of the Duke of Weiguo's mansion.

Sitting at the lower left was a middle-aged man who looked six points similar to the old lady above him. He was the current Duke of Weiguo, Xie Chushan. Next to him sat a beautiful woman with a charming look. She was Aunt Yang, the de facto mistress of the Duke of Weiguo's mansion.

Below the beautiful woman sat a pretty girl. Judging from her developing figure, she should be almost of marriageable age. She was Xie Zhining, the concubine's daughter born to Concubine Yang.

And at the lower right of Old Madam Xie, there was only a gentle woman sitting, Lady Xie Hang, the wife of Duke Weiguo, and behind her stood her wet nurse, Nanny You.

Xie Zhichan followed Nanny Li into the main hall and saw this table as soon as he saw it. He couldn't help but feel sad for the original owner. Living in this deep mansion, with her only daughter not around and her husband only doting on his concubine, how lonely must Xie's mother be?

But fortunately, she came back for the original owner.

She pretended not to see anyone else, and only saw her mother. With tears in her eyes, she ran to Xie's mother, lay on her lap and cried, "Mother, your daughter is finally back with you."

Humph! She was just going to beat the master to death with her random punches! She wouldn't give Aunt Yang any time to perform.

Anyway, isn't her role now to play the role of a rude girl who doesn't know etiquette?

Mrs. Xie also felt sympathetic, thinking that she only had this one daughter, who had suffered separation for so many years, she couldn't help but shed tears. She touched Xie Zhichan's head and comforted her, "My dear Ayuan, it's good to be back. Now that you are back, I can see you every day."

Just as the mother and daughter were hugging each other and talking tenderly, they suddenly heard a dignified old woman's voice scolding: "You are crying so much, how can you be so rude! I am still sitting here, and if someone doesn't know, they would think you are mourning for me!"

Xie Zhichan then looked up at Old Lady Xie, and with an innocent look in his eyes, he asked, "Mother, who is this old woman with shriveled feet? Why is she cursing herself?"

The whole room suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Mother Xie also choked for a moment. An old woman with shriveled feet? She couldn't help but glance at Old Madam Xie's feet. Although her daughter's description was very apt, this old woman was the old lady of the Xie Mansion, a figure that everyone had to worship. This was the first time in her life that someone had described her so realistically.

Old Madam Xie was so angry that she almost fell backwards. She slammed her hand heavily on the tea table next to her, causing the water in the teacup to spill out. She gasped and shouted, "How dare you!"

Xie Chushan's face darkened and he scolded: "Don't be rude! This is your grandmother."

Aunt Yang and her subordinate Xie Zhining also stayed there for a long while, and then they smiled with satisfaction, feeling that this eldest daughter of the legitimate family had really lived up to her days on the farm. Look at this unbridled mouth, which had offended the old lady as soon as she came back.

After hearing what Xie Chushan said, Xie Zhichan's innocent little eyes immediately became bright, as if he had completely forgotten what he had just said. He was just like a little girl who suddenly saw her grandmother. He was very excited and rushed towards Old Madam Xie.

Old Madam Xie, who was sitting at the top, was frightened by Xie Zhichan for no reason. She always felt that the girl looked at her as if she was looking at prey.

I have a very bad feeling.

Xie Zhichan threw herself on Old Lady Xie's lap, crying with tears and snot: "Grandma, I miss you so much. I pray for you every day in the village, hoping that you will live a hundred years. How can you curse yourself!"

While crying, he wiped his snot on the old lady's brocade horse-faced skirt.

Old Madam Xie was stunned by this. She wanted to get angry, but how could she swallow her pride and do so in front of such an enthusiastic little girl?

If word gets out, it would mean that she is not kind enough to the younger generation in her family.

But those tears and snot really made her feel sick.

She couldn't help but said, "Well, now that you're back, why don't you go meet your father."

There was no way Xie Zhichan would let her escape so easily. Based on the old woman's attitude just now, she knew that this old woman must have had her share of the grievances that Xie's mother had suffered in the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.

She looked at Madam Xie sadly, and put her hands on the gold and ruby-studded phoenix-bird-playing-with-beads bracelet on her wrist, crying, "Grandma, you haven't seen your own granddaughter for so many years. Now that she's back, don't you have a gift to comfort her? I think this bracelet is just right, why don't you give it to your granddaughter as a gift?"

Old Madam Xie choked again. This girl really had good eyesight. This bracelet was worth a thousand gold coins. It was made for her by a famous craftsman specially found by Aunt Yang last year when she celebrated her birthday. She was really reluctant to give it up, but she couldn't stand this girl's tears and snot wiping on her body. She had to take it off with a painful heart and put it in Xie Zhichan's hand, saying, "I'll give it to you as a reward. Go and see your father quickly."

It was like pushing away a dung beetle that was rolling a dung ball.

Xie Zhichan then let go of Old Lady Xie, stood up, forced a smile, blew a snot bubble, and pounced on Xie Chushan.

Xie Chushan's eyebrows jumped at this sight, and he stood up from his chair and jumped to the side.

Xie Zhichan paused when he saw this action. He was like a wounded deer. He stared at Xie Chushan in confusion and asked, "Father, do you not recognize your daughter?"

If word got out that the Duke of Weiguo did not recognize his own daughter when they met, this joke would spread instantly to all the teahouses in Kyoto.

He coughed lightly and said, "Father naturally recognizes you, but father is most afraid of little girls crying, and he doesn't know how to comfort them. Why don't you go back and sit next to your mother?"

But the look of not daring to get close at all made Xie Zhichan laugh. A handful of snot bubbles from his own daughter could scare him away. He was really a good father.

She lowered her head with grievance, looked at Xie Chushan reluctantly, then slowly walked back to sit on the chair next to Xie's mother.

Xie Chushan then let out a long sigh and sat back in his seat.

Xie Zhichan turned his gaze and stared at the beautiful woman next to Xie Chushan. He knew that she was Aunt Yang, but he pretended not to know her and asked Xie Chushan, "Father, who is this horse-faced lady with a long chin next to you? I heard that women with horse faces are troublemakers who will cause unrest in the family. If she is your aunt, you'd better get rid of her quickly."

Aunt Yang was admiring the rudeness of this legitimate daughter, but she didn't expect that she would be attacked suddenly and be accused of having a horse face?

Other ladies clearly praised her for her oval face and pointed chin, which brought her good fortune and long life!

She pointed her pointed nails at Xie Zhichan and cursed, "How dare you! I am your father's aunt, which means I am your elder. How can a junior be so rude to an elder?"
