Ever since Xie Qing brought the child that she had raised outside back to the Xie residence, Third Master Xie’s heart had been revived and he had started to have fun.

Why was his nephew and daughter-in-law so open-minded and reasonable, and why did his old lady refuse to agree to anything?

These few days, he had been going against Madam Wang, and the third room had been turned upside down.

When Xie Xian went to court, he saw that Third Master Xie’s face was covered in bruises. He had asked for sick leave at home.

Xiao Baoxin had long seen through the third household. It had nothing to do with her and was hanging high up. That was the matter of the elders. It was not her turn to interrupt.

Seeing that Madam Yuan’s birthday was about to arrive and that she was pregnant, it was not easy for her to manage it. Madam Yuan simply handed the birthday banquet to Xie Wan and let her take full responsibility.

However, a fourteen year old Lil ‘Miss had already experienced hundreds of battles. This was the advantage of a large aristocratic family. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Zhuge Shu was very attentive. Xie Wan could not tell if he was happy or angry. In any case, Madam Yuan was extremely satisfied with the Zhuge family’s young man.

Although there were rumors, Princess Rouran had even come looking for him.

However, rumors were rumors after all. Zhuge Shu’s attitude was still very clear. No parents would be dissatisfied when they saw their future son-in-law being attentive to their daughter.

Especially since Madam Yuan was a precious mother, the person that Xie Xian chose was definitely not wrong.

The Zhuge family’s population was thin. If Xie Wan married over, she would have to take charge of the family. Therefore, in the past six months, Madam Yuan had been very strict with Xie Wan in all aspects, hoping that she would be a qualified wife when she married over.

On this day, Xie Wan was discussing the seating arrangement of the guests with Xiao Baoxin and Madam Yuan.

The main reason was that Xie Xian offended people in the court in minutes. Today, he was close to this, and tomorrow, he was far away from that. Moreover, just yesterday, Xie Xian had given her a list of official wives from poor families and commoners, all of whom had to be added.

In the past, there was a clear distinction between aristocratic families and Shu families. Only the Eldest Princess of Kuaiji’s banquet was invited by all parties. Usually, when they walked around, they would not interfere with each other.

Even though Xie Xian had offended the various aristocratic families, the Xie Clan had always maintained contact with the aristocratic families during banquets.

But today was different, there were actually some commoners mixed in.

Xie Wan usually did not have such experience, so she could only ask Mrs. Yuan.

Mrs. Yuan simply threw the question to Xiao Baoxin.” You’re the mistress of the house. You should be the one to solve these things.” Tell me, what should we do?”

Xie Yan sat beside the couch, supporting himself on the couch as he walked, listening attentively.

The family was happy.

“Regardless of whether they are from noble families or poor families, don’t those Langjun always talk about betrothal? If mother asks my opinion, it would be better to arrange according to the men’s official positions in the court.”Xiao Baoxin was straightforward.

Madam Yuan smiled and looked at Xie Wan.

“Your sister-in-law is right. Just list out those who are in-laws with our family and the royal family first, then do as your sister-in-law says.”

“The whole family must be in one place. Don’t mess up.”

Xiao Baoxin pondered for a moment. Although his mother-in-law did not directly refute her, she did not agree with her arrangements.

“Alright, I’ll get it done then.” Xie Wan smiled and said,”What Sister-in-law said is exactly what I thought. It’s just that when I think about it carefully, it seems to be the same as the arrangements for the royal banquet in recent years.” If our Xie family does this, it might also attract some criticism, right?”

Xie Wan said this, and Xiao Baoxin understood.

The royal family could be arranged in such a way. The emperor was above everyone, but the banquets of the aristocratic families had been like that for many years. If you rashly broke the convention, it was inevitable that you would be picked on.

The Xie family was now the head of the aristocratic families. If they were to compete with the imperial family in everything, they would inevitably be criticized and picked on by others.

Therefore, he still had to put on some airs.

Lady Yuan nodded.” You’ve attended the banquet of the eldest princess of the Guiji City before.” The Eldest Princess of Kuaiji was thoughtful.”

Xie Yan however thought in his heart that Ah Niang had the foundation of an Empress in her previous life, and was very open and open in her actions. Now, it seemed that they were not as good as the aristocratic families, who did not reveal a single thing.

The four of them had their own thoughts. At this moment, Qingshuang led Zhilan, who was beside Mother Xie, in.

Zhilan smiled unnaturally and said,”

“Grand Furen invited Old Furen and Furen to go to Yi An Hall. Third Master brought Cheng shi’s illegitimate child back to the fu and fought with Third Old Furen in the Third household.”

“Grand Furen said to ask everyone to go and take a look.”

Hearing this, she knew that Mother Xie was furious. She didn’t even want to save her youngest son’s face.

Madam Yuan was still alright. She was Third Master Xie’s eldest sister-in-law, but Xiao Baoxin and Xie Wan were juniors.

Madam Yuan asked someone to carry Xie Yan away, then brought her daughter-in-law and daughter over. If her own mother didn’t give her own son any face, then she, as the eldest sister-in-law, had no reason to spoil him.

She had a very good memory. When her son got married, it was this Third Xie who was up and down, stirring up a lot of trouble.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Xie Yan was still young and was afraid of scaring him with such a big lineup, he really wanted to let him observe and learn as a lesson.

Education had to start from a young age.

Before she could enter the house, she heard Third Master Xie shouting,”On what basis can the children of my nephew’s mistress be brought into the residence, but not my son? Mother, you can’t be biased, that’s your grandson! The roots of our Xie family!”

Lady Cai and Twelfth Madam Wang followed Lady Yuan into the courtyard, feeling extremely awkward.

Wang Shierniang’s face was extremely embarrassed.

Who would have thought that this could be compared?

“Sister-in-law…” Madam Cai and Madam Yuan greeted them and walked into the house together. Madam Wang was sitting on the ground with her hair disheveled. Third Master Xie was standing there aggressively. Beside him were Xie Ning and Jiang Qian, who were kneeling on the ground.

Mother Xie was so angry that she broke all the teacups in her hand. Her face was ashen.

“Since we’re all here, let’s talk about what we should do.”

“Bao Xin, what do you think?”

Xiao Baoxin held his stomach and blinked his big eyes.

Alright, although she was a junior, she was still the mistress of the house. It was not wrong to ask her.

“I think…It’s only right that we should treat everyone equally.” Before she could finish her sentence, Madam Wang’s cold eyes had already shot at her.

Third Master Xie stepped forward and blocked Madam Wang’s line of sight. “What are you looking at? What are you staring at? Why should my son be wandering outside? That doesn’t make sense.”

Xiao Baoxin continued,”

“But, Jiulang obtained the approval of Twelfth Aunt before he brought the mistress into the residence. If Third Uncle really thinks that Second household did the right thing, shouldn’t he be like Jiulang and obtain Third Shen’s approval?”

“Aunt Three has acknowledged us, so naturally there’s nothing to say in the other rooms.”

Third Master Xie snorted coldly and moved his body away in an instant. He had blocked it for nothing!

She had already said everything. If that shrew really approved of him, would he have to come to Yi An Hall and let these juniors see him as a joke?
