After rebirth, dribbling and leaving

The banquet went on as usual. Only a few people disappeared. No one else would notice it except the people behind the scenes!

The national treasury is not rich and there are constant wars on the border, so the scale of this banquet is not that big!

At this time, Mrs. Han, the wife of Marquis Wenyuan, felt uneasy. Her mother also came to the palace today. Her status was not enough to be summoned by the Queen Mother alone. She could only give her mother a few words in private!

Now, the banquet has begun. Her status is not as high as those of the princesses and ladies-in-waiting, so she sat in the corner. However, she could still look around quietly, but she couldn't even see the shadow of her mother.

The Queen is fine, but she was terrified while eating this meal!

After finally clearing the table, I thought the ladies from various palaces would point out the talents of the ladies, but unexpectedly, the Queen Mother said:

"It's getting late now, and I'm really tired, so let's go!"

As soon as these words were spoken, those unwilling ladies had no choice but to kneel down one by one and leave!

Han was about to leave with her daughter Li Li, when she saw the female official beside the Queen rushing over, paying her respects, and then speaking with a hint of ridicule:

"Madam Hou, please stay. The Queen has something to ask you!"

Han's whole body was tense. The weather was already hot, and even if there was ice in the hall, it wouldn't be very cool. At this moment, she was so frightened that she broke out in a sweat. She thought a lot in a short time!

If she had known she would be discovered, she would not have gotten involved no matter what her son said!

After coming to his senses, he hurriedly ordered Li Luo beside him: "You leave the palace alone, and let Mother Li go back with you!"

Originally, she wanted her daughter to go back and inform the family so that they could prepare for the fall. However, the female official snorted:

"Madam Hou, don't worry. The Queen asked your daughter to go with you!"

Han's face was ashen, and she thought to herself: It's over!

Su Qingling's leisurely days lasted only two days when she heard that the second and third wives of the Changning Marquis' Mansion had returned to Beijing!

Liu Diejing has been so busy these days that she is dizzy!

Although the second and third wives have separated, they still live in the Marquis' Mansion. When they return to Beijing to report on their work, they will definitely live there for a long time. As the eldest sister-in-law, although I am reluctant, I have to help take care of it!

On the tenth day, Su Qingling was woken up early, washed, dressed, ate a quick meal, and went to Jinxiu Hall.

Unexpectedly, Liu Diejing was already sitting there drinking tea.

At this time, only Aunt Ke was waiting in the courtyard, while Aunt Xue and Aunt Mei also came with their daughters!

Chunlan and Xiahe helped their young lady sit aside. Liu Diejing, who had wanted to make things difficult for her daughter-in-law, became furious when she saw this!

He threw the silver spoon aside and sneered:

"They say that daughters brought up in a rich family are well-educated and polite. How come you not only don't serve your mother-in-law, but you become so arrogant. Your mother-in-law didn't even let you sit down, but you sat down on your own. You really don't know etiquette!"

Su Qingling no longer had the initial anxiety and could even joke calmly:

"Mother-in-law, you are too serious. My daughter-in-law is now pregnant, so I have to be careful about these things. You are not the kind of person who treats your daughter-in-law harshly. I think that during this special period, you will not be too picky with your daughter-in-law, right?"

Seeing Su Qingling's calm appearance, Liu Diejing became even angrier, and the soup she had just swallowed almost spurted out of her mouth!

"You are becoming more and more eloquent now, as if no one's daughter can get pregnant and give birth to a child, but your precious child is pregnant with a nugget of gold!"

Su Qingling just found it funny. Was she so stupid in her previous life? With such little skill as the Marquis's wife, she was actually suppressed so hard!

"Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law is not pregnant well, and her health has deteriorated greatly in the past two years. Doctor Wu has told me to take good care of myself and pay attention to myself at all times. Although I respect you in my heart, I have to follow the doctor's advice and take good care of myself!"

Liu Diejing had to say a few more words, but at this time, Lord Xie and his three sons had also come in!

"Okay, stop talking. My second and third brothers have already entered the city. They will be back in less than half an hour. Once they have packed up, let's go out and greet them together!"

I only heard Xie Xiaolian humming:

"She is just a concubine's daughter. She and my father did not come from the same womb. Is it necessary to mobilize so many troops?"

Xie Chen turned around and glared:

"You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. We are all from the Marquis' Mansion and are blood relatives. How can you say such nonsense? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will confine you!"

Xie Xiaolian shut up angrily, but he was very unconvinced in his heart!

Xie Xuanping shook his head in his heart, his second brother was so spoiled by his parents that he couldn't tell good from bad. His second uncle had been working hard outside the house over the years, and had climbed from a seventh-rank official to a magistrate, and then to a prefect. Now he has returned to the capital to report on his work. He is much better than his father's empty position!

It is said that the third uncle is the daughter of a wealthy merchant and has a lot of money. Although these two uncles are born out of wedlock, they will be of great help to me in my future!

It's just that my second brother is short-sighted and looks down on illegitimate children. It's really contemptible!

When I arrived at the mansion gate, I waited for a cup of tea before I saw more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages lined up outside the mansion!

Later, a middle-aged man in his forties came out of the first car with a green carriage.

The man had a serious face, star-like eyebrows, sharp eyes, and a wisp of beautiful beard on his chin. He looked 50% like Xie Hou, and was wearing a navy blue uniform. When he got out of the car, it was seen that he was thin, and looked like a typical scholar, but he had a temperament that made him majestic without being angry!

Then came out a woman in her forties with a plump figure, ordinary looks but fair complexion.

The woman was not tall. She wore a matching grey top and a green long skirt. Her hair was tied up in a bun. She did not wear many accessories on her head except a jade hairpin and a few pearl flowers. She looked neither plain nor shabby, and quite thoughtful!

When the two men got off, four maids jumped down from a carriage behind them and followed them in a few quick steps!

Lord Xie hurriedly went up to greet them with a smile, "Second brother, sister-in-law, you have been tired from the bumpy journey, thank you for your hard work!"

The man smiled and replied, "It's not hard, but I'm sorry to have caused my brother and sister-in-law to worry about it!"

Xie Xuanping hurried forward to pay his respects to his junior: "Nephew Zhilan greets second uncle and second aunt!"

Xie Xiaolian came over angrily under his father's gaze and also bowed: "Zhiwei greets second uncle and second aunt!"

Xie Qingfeng also stepped forward with a sincere look on his face and bowed properly: "Nephew Zhiming greets second uncle and second aunt!"

Then he heard Master Xie Jing wave his hand and said in a steady voice: "Okay, my nephews have all grown up, not bad, not bad!"

As they were talking, people on the carriage behind them got off one after another and walked over!
