First, he mentioned the dead Chu Silang in front of Wang Qiang, then he gossiped about Xie Wanâs future husband, saying that Ah Niang wanted to keep her in the house. She was too brainless.
? Aiya, I seem to have drunk too much tea. Iâm a little drunk.â
âIf any of you still want to drink, Iâll get someone to make another pot.â
Xie Wan was also amused by Chu Lingziâs words.
Itâs fine if you drink too much tea, but you let others drink too much.
âI have heard of this. Howeverâ¦â Xie Wan shrugged.â See, his family has the intention to marry me. When the time comes, they will naturally send someone. If itâs unintentional, itâs not like the Xie family canât afford to support me.â
This was the confidence of having a family head brother. Xie Xian had already told her everything.
Afraid that the girl would be oversensitive, after discussing with Xiao Baoxin he took the initiative to tell Xie Wan. Even if the Zhuge family had no intention of going back on their word, going to Rouran was still a narrow escape. Before Zhuge Shu left, he gave the marriage contract to Xie Xian, meaning to fulfill his wish.
If she came back alive, it might not be a certain year. If she made a mistake and died on the way, it could be considered that their engagement had been canceled early. It could also be considered as giving Xie Wan a clear path and not having to be a widow for their family.
Then, without giving him any extra time, he turned around and left.
Xie Xian gave the marriage contract to Xie Wan, meaning that she could decide.
If She had only met him once before, she wouldnât have felt anything about him being her fiance, but ever since Xie Xian told her about Zhuge Shuâs decision, she had started to admire him from the bottom of her heart.
She returned the marriage contract to Xie Xian and accepted this marriage. Whether Zhuge Shu was dead or alive, she would wait.
Such a Langjun deserved her sincere treatment.
Of course, these things could not be said to outsiders. No matter how good sisters were, they still had to keep secrets. Therefore, he could only block the question.
Although they were all young ladies from the back of the house, the situation in Daliang was so chaotic that even they could not help but be affected. When talking about the Zhuge family that was rumored to have fled at the sight of the wind, one could not help but think of the chaotic times outside Jiankang. âI wonder when we will meet again in the future.âWang Qiong sighed As a newly widowed, it wasnât appropriate for her to personally pay a visit to a few young misses âwedding. Even if they didnât mind, there were still elders in the family, and etiquette and rules forbade it.
ââ Look, you said you wouldnât come just now, and now youâre thinking about the next time before you leave.âXiao Baoxin teased. How could he not see through Wang Qiongâs intentions?âWhy donât we agree to meet at least once every six months and take turns to host?â
She and Wang Qiang were both married women, and the other three were also about to get married.
No matter how ignorant one was, they knew that after marrying someone it was not good to go out at will. There were many rules in the in-lawâs family that needed to be challenged.
âTil register first. Iâm next.âXiao Baoxin took the lead
Chu Lingzi and Xiao Miaorong had just married, so it was naturally not easy to entertain them, so they had to wait.
âOf course Iâm next.â âWhen we get together again, Iâm probably the only unmarried lady. I want to be the host and think of a way to play some games to mess with you guys.ââ
As it was a national funeral, the Chu family did not make much preparations. They were afraid that if they had a good time, it would be bad if word got out.
This was Xiao Miaorongâs first time joining, so she knew that her words were probably not pleasant to the ears. She did not force herself to stand out and only laughed along.
On the other hand, Chu Lingzi clapped.
âYou can settle the matters between your sister-in-law yourself. What difference does it make if Iâm in your Xie family?â
âIf Aunt wants to go first, I will naturally listen to Aunt. Then I will go second. âXiao Baoxin beamed with a smile.
Chu Lingziâs teeth turned cold.â I know your sister-in-law is close, but you donât have to show off in front of us. Iâll be the third.ââ
Although Xiao Miaorong married Xi San, she was still a concubineâs son. She didnât have a competitive heart, so she didnât even think about it before she pushed him down.âThen Iâll be the fourth.â
On the other hand, Wang Qiang looked at Xiao Miaorong and smiled at her.
âThird Aunt is the fourth, then Iâll be the fifth.â
âLetâs agree that we must do it at least once every six months. It doesnât count If we go to other peopleâs banquets together or if we invite many guests at home.âChu Lingzi said.
That s how it should be.â Everyone said.
Xiao Baoxm sat for a while and his stomach started to feel a little restless. When had the young ladies ever seen a pregnant woman with a big belly so closely? They couldnât help but surround her curiously and touch her stomach.
Xiao Baoxin was embarrassed, and she could hear everyoneâs thoughts.
Xie Wan,âMy eldest nephew!â Me! Nephew!
Xiao Miaorong said,âWow, itâs so big. Thereâs actually a little life here.'âIn his mind, he was thinking about cutting open half a watermelon and cutting down a big fat doll.
Wang Qiong was much more reserved. She only had faint envy and regret.
â Wow, itâs so big. I hope I can marry into the Xi family and get a man in one fell swoop.âThis was Chu Lingziâs impassioned inner voice. Clearly, she was spreading the word that she was pregnant.
Everyone saw Xiao Baoxinâs big belly and could not stay any longer. They chatted for a while and left early.
Wang Qiong and Chu Lingzi sent the few of them off. When they returned to
the main branch, they said to Chu Lingzi,
âThird Lady Xiao is a shrewd person. In the future, when you marry her and get along well with others, the two of you will definitely get along. However, there is only one point. Although you are married to a legitimate son, you must not act as if you are superior to others in everything. Donât be too sure. If thereâs a misunderstanding, the two of you can directly pick it out.â
âYouâre so outspoken that you probably donât even know that youâve offended someone.â
âFortunately, there is a big lady in it, so you wonât have any disagreements.â
Chu Lingzi was clearly confused.â Did I say something to offend her?â
She thought that she had only said the wrong thing to Lady Twelve and Lady Seven.
Wang Qiong shook her head and told her what had happened,ââShe didnât do anything wrong. Itâs just that although she married a bastard son, she was still the chief. Itâs good for the two of you to discuss it. I saw that she didnât mind Sheâs obviously not competitive. Sheâs a good-natured person, so she told you. Otherwise, at most, we wonât go to the extent of ingratiating ourselves.â Chu Lingzi had always listened to Wang Qiang, and this time, she also nodded after listening.
Twelfth Aunt is right, I will remember it.â
Wang Qiong smiled and returned to the main branch.
He left Chu Lingzi standing on the ground and watching from afar, sighing.
âDid the Twelfth Lady say something unpleasant?â asked the maid.â
Chu Lmgzi and Wang Qiang had always been on good terms, so even if Wang Qiang married into the Chu family, Chu Lingziâs maid would always habitually address her as the Twelfth Lady.
Chu Lingzi shook her head.â Lady Twelve is such a good person, but she had to encounter such a thingâ¦â Justice blames injustice.
The maid glanced at Chu Lingzi and sighed inwardly.
No matter how unfair the heavens were, could it be as unfair as those who died of war, disease, and plague outside Jiankang?
