The evil woman becomes the concubine and the villain is crushed to ashes

Xie Ruyu seems very understanding.

"However, you can just invite your mother's family, the Cui family, to come. By the time of the full moon banquet, my body will have almost recovered, and I will take care of it. I won't let mother work hard."

When Mrs. Xiao heard Xie Ruyu say that she was going to organize a full-month banquet for her child, she refused without a second thought.

"no!"

The reason for her refusal was very simple. Xie Ruyu's identity was not impressive enough, and she didn't even have a status in the Xiao family.

Even though she gave birth to a child, the child's origin was not glorious. If this was not her son's only child, Mrs. Xiao would not have cared so much about it and even let Xie Ruyu live so long.

But no matter how much leniency she gave, Mrs. Xiao could not remain indifferent to Xie Ruyu's bad reputation.

In the past, she would never allow such a lowly woman to be her son's wife. She even felt it was shameful for her son to let her be a concubine.

But now is different from the past, I can use her, so I can't say too much, said Mrs. Xiao.

"It's too time-consuming and laborious to handle this kind of thing, so don't get involved. Just take good care of yourself. A woman can't be careless during her confinement. Don't worry, no matter if it's a grand or simple affair, I will come in person and nothing will go wrong."

Madam Xiao was very confident when she said this.

After all, she is a girl of the Cui family, and she has been the wife of a marquis for many years. It is just a matter of organizing a full-month banquet for her child. What's so hard about it?

There is really no need for Xie Ruyu to be so attentive at this time.

Xie Ruyu secretly hated the old woman, knowing what she was thinking, but she still looked respectful and obedient.

"Yu'er, I understand. You will listen to me. I am indeed more experienced than I am. I am just afraid that you will be tired. If you are not tired, then you will naturally be the one to take care of the full moon banquet. However, I don't know if the Marquis will agree."

"Yu'er thinks that we must try our best to win the Marquis's consent. I have even thought of a reason for you. When the Marquis comes later, you can tell him that our full moon banquet is meaningful. First, it is to get rid of bad luck. The Xiao family has been unlucky recently."

Xie Ruyu gradually became more confident.

"Secondly, it is to show the Xiao family your strength as the head lady, and to show them that your position is unshakable. Of course, you don't have to tell the Marquis about this. You can tell the Marquis that this is for the Third Prince to see."

"Our Xiao family has only suffered a temporary setback, but we have many relatives and friends, and we also have abilities and connections. If the Cui family and others are willing to support us, then our Xiao family will not be considered in decline. As long as we show our usefulness, the Third Prince should not give up on us so easily."

Having said that, Xie Ruyu paused and continued.

"Of course, the first two points are for the Xiao family and the overall situation. The third point is also the most important point. Mother invited the Cui family to attend the baby's full moon wine, which is just an excuse. More importantly, it is to support you."

"Don't forget why our child was born. It is to inherit the title. At the full moon banquet this time, we must ask the Marquis to determine the position of this grandson no matter what."

"To fight for the title for the child is to fight for our own interests. It concerns our vital interests and we must not mess it up. So when you talk to the Marquis later, you must be more tactful and not anger him."

Mrs. Xiao knew that what Xie Ruyu said made sense, so she did not refute it. Instead, her expression became more serious and she nodded.

"You're right, don't worry, I get it."

Just then, the maid's voice came from outside.

"Madam, the Marquis is here."

This room cannot be exposed to the wind, and this is the daughter-in-law's room, what is the father-in-law doing here? So Madam Xiao went out to greet him, and did not forget to hand the child over to the wet nurse.

It’s not that I don’t want to take the child out, it’s just that the child is too weak and it would be terrible if he caught a cold.

Tsk, it still needs to be carefully raised...

"Master Hou, you are here."

Mrs. Xiao went out to greet them with a smile.

The main reason was that she had a request to make to one person, and also for the future of her son and grandson, as well as her own future, Mrs. Xiao had to control her temper at this time.

Xie Ruyu is right, those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters.

Normally, I can quarrel with the Marquis as much as I want, but this time I can't be as willful as before.

Lord Xiao was also very satisfied with Madam Xiao's sudden restrained personality. If nothing else, at least she was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before, which was annoying to look at. After all, she looked a bit like the mistress of the house, so he waved his hand and said.

"Why did you ask me to come here? It's not convenient for me to enter the main house, so let's talk in the yard."

Lord Xiao didn't even enter the house.

Madam Xiao did not force it. After all, there was a disabled son lying in the house and a daughter-in-law who had just given birth. It was really inconvenient for Marquis Xiao to go anywhere.

So Madam Xiao asked the maid to put a pot of tea on the stone table in the yard, and then she went forward and helped Marquis Xiao to sit down.

After personally pouring a cup of tea for Lord Xiao, Madam Xiao sat opposite him and said with a smile.

"My Lord, I asked you to come here for no other reason. Didn't our family just have a new baby? It's a big deal after all, especially considering that so many unlucky things have happened to our family recently."

"It's so hard to have a happy event, so I was thinking, why don't we just have a big one? Invite relatives and friends to come over to celebrate the baby's full moon?"

When he heard the words "make a big deal", Lord Xiao frowned, obviously unhappy.

After all, Madam Xiao had been with Marquis Xiao for so many years, so she knew what he was worried about, so she quickly hinted at it.

"My Lord, I know that we have a bad reputation now, but we can't just stay away from people forever, right? The Xie family is deliberately going against us and trying to curry favor with the Third Prince. Last time we visited the Mu family, you know the result."

"The Third Prince obviously has ideas about the Xie family. We can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to let the Third Prince see the strength of our Xiao family. Although our Xiao family has not handled things properly, we still have connections. Let's hold a big banquet for the baby's full moon and invite many guests."

"As long as the people are here, it means that our Xiao family has not been abandoned by the powerful circles in the capital. The Third Prince will definitely give up the idea of ​​abandoning us when he sees that we still have the face to invite so many people. My Lord, I am doing this all for our Xiao family!"

Mrs. Xiao spoke earnestly, and in the end, she truly thought so.

After all, she has been married to the Xiao family for many years, and when she dies in the future she will be buried in the Xiao family ancestral hall.
