Chapter 53 I need to explain to you?

The old lady downed the ginger soup in one gulp, saying, "Xiao Lan brought it."

Aunt Qiu wiped away her tears and said sourly, "Fourth Madam is so lucky."

After considering for a second, Madam Yu nodded, looking comforted. "Xiao Lan is truly blessed. Her family treats her well and never forgets to care for her, no matter where she goes. Her daughter is always by her side protecting her. None of you are as fortunate as her."

Aunt Qiu choked and covered her face, sobbing.

Xin Wen'an: ...

Mom, you know how to hurt someone! But isn't that a bit too much?

"Fourth brother, look, everyone has been soaked in the rain all day. Shouldn't we make more ginger soup so that everyone can share some and warm themselves up?"

As soon as Xin Wen'an finished speaking, he saw the fourth brother give him a disdainful look.

"You're paying for it!" Xin Wenyuan said irritably. "Do you think we're on a trip... well, you know, a spring outing? Do you think getting some brown sugar and ginger slices on the road to exile is an easy thing to do?"

“I’m my mother’s youngest son, it’s my duty to support her. Who do you think you are? And you expect my wife to do this and that for you? Hey, third son, how dare you be so shameless?”

"You!" Xin Wen'an had been scolded by the fourth brother for a long time, but he just couldn't remember it.

Every time he was rebuffed, he would vow never to speak to this scoundrel again, but before long, he would forget about it...

"Alright, alright, stop with the 'you' and 'me' stuff. Hurry up and pour the water into the basin. Heat this water for Mom to soak her feet."

"I'll use these two bottles of water to drink."

Xie Ninglan sat to the side, holding her son and eating by herself, not getting involved in their affairs.

When Zhuang saw her leisurely and carefree appearance, she couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Fourth sister-in-law is definitely living a comfortable life."

The man was busy taking care of his mother, but she acted like nothing was wrong, not caring about or looking at anything!
Xie Ninglan rolled her eyes at her. "Third sister-in-law, that's all the vision you have. My daughter just told you not to always be so focused on other people's lives, have you forgotten?"

Zhuang took a breath, turned around angrily, and didn't want to look at Xie Ninglan even once.

"Third brother, alright, alright, get out of here." Xin Wenyuan said impatiently, pushing Xin Wen'an aside. "Look at you, all you can do is chopsticks and not even boil water. What can you possibly be good for?"

What a useless family!

Xin Wen'an was so angry that he threw down the rag in his hand and squatted down to sulk.

Xin Wenyuan ignored him and busied himself with his work. He turned to look at the women in the main house and asked with concern, "Wife of the eldest son, how is Zhe'er?"

"Thank you for the fever-reducing medicine, Uncle. My child has been sleeping ever since taking one pill. I feel his temperature, and it's not as high as before."

Xin Wenyuan added, "I'll take another look later. If it doesn't work, let me know as soon as possible. Those pills were sent by the Marquis of Lin'an's residence. My Mo Chen didn't find them very effective before."

"If anything happens later, let me know as soon as possible, and I'll have your younger sister think of a solution."

"Thank you, Fourth Uncle." Lin Xiuyi felt relieved and nodded gratefully to Xin Wenyuan repeatedly.

On the other side.

Xin Nian carried a bag of food into the neighboring cave dwelling, and the once noisy cave dwelling suddenly fell silent.

Xiao Jia, who was sitting by the door, was half asleep when he looked up and saw this young lady. He was so startled that he quickly moved to the side.

There were many escorts crowding at the entrance of the cave dwelling, and further inside were people from the Yongkang Marquis's Mansion and the Enyi Marquis's Mansion.

Xin Nian glanced around, then looked at Xiao Jia expressionlessly. "I'm looking for Sister Zhao from Dragon Tiger Stronghold."

Xiao Jia quickly got up and pointed to another cave dwelling next to him, "The people from Longhu Village are all in that cave dwelling next to them."

"Oh, alright then." Xin Nian glanced at the three seriously injured guards lying on the ground, their lives hanging in the balance, and called out, "Mianmian."

"Coming!" Chang Mianmian nimbly got up and ran towards her like a little hamster, extremely happy. The people from the Marquis of Enyi's mansion glanced at Chang Mianmian's back with strange looks.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "When did the Third Miss become so familiar with the Sixth Miss of the Xin family?"

All eyes turned to Chang Mianmian's mother, Madam Chang.

The latter also didn't understand; Mianmian had been foolish and naive for many years and had never had any contact with the sixth daughter of the Xin family before.

But Madam Chang was very obedient. After Mianmian regained consciousness, she told her more than once that whenever it involved her, Chang Mianmian, she should just say she didn't know and not answer, and let her answer it herself.

Therefore, Madam Chang did not speak.

After scratching her head and holding back for a long time, Third Madam Chen finally couldn't help but speak up, "Is there something you can't say, Third Madam? We're all family, you can't hide anything from us."

"I don't know!" the Third Madam replied coldly and curtly. "If you have any questions, go ask the Third Miss yourselves."

Aunt Chen rolled her eyes.

Who wouldn't know to ask the Third Miss? But you can't get anything out of her.

If you ask her anything, she'll just grin at you like an idiot. You can't hit someone who's smiling, so there's really nothing you can do about her.

If you get angry, she'll act like nothing's wrong, going back to sleep without caring about your feelings at all.

Xin Nian opened her oil-paper umbrella, and the two of them went out hand in hand, only to run into Liang Guang.

The other person was taken aback for a moment, then put on a smile and said, "Sixth Miss and the Third Miss of the Marquis of Enyi's Mansion are quite familiar with each other."

Xin Nian gave him a cold look.

The latter froze at the door, as if petrified, wishing he could slap himself.

Why are you so talkative?

“Mianmian, come live with me at my place,” Xin Nian said casually.

Liang Guang hurriedly nodded and smiled apologetically, "Alright, alright, Sixth Miss, please feel free to do as you please."

On the other hand, the Marquis of Enyi's family found it hard to believe. Madam Chang the Second pulled Madam Chang the Third, followed by several concubines and young ladies.

Madam Chang's face was full of inquiry. "The sixth daughter of the Xin family, right? This isn't appropriate. Where are you taking our Mianmian?"

"Do I need to explain my actions to a nobody like you?" Xin Nian said with a smile, her voice rising at the end.

A passerby? Madam Chang was truly furious.

Chang Mianmian pulled Madam Chang to her side, "Mother, let's go with my sister."

Before the Third Madam could speak, Aunt Chen laughed first, "Third Miss, what are you doing? You are our Chang family's young lady, and now you want to leave the Chang family and go to the Xin family?"

Chang Mianmian nodded, "I will definitely follow my sister."

The young woman beside the second wife rolled her eyes and covered her mouth with a laugh upon hearing this, "Sister, Chang Mianmian, are you having another bout of idiocy? Don't you remember that you're older than her?"

"I remember the sixth daughter of the Xin family, she was just of marriageable age, right? You're seventeen, Chang Mianmian."

"Hey, so what if I'm seventeen? Even if I'm eighty-eight, this is still my sister. What do you know? Get out of here."

Xin Nian glanced at Liang Guang, who shuddered and hurriedly stepped forward to shoo everyone away, "What are you all doing? Have nothing better to do than eat? Go back and stay there, do what you're supposed to do."

"No, Lord Liang, we..."

Liang Guang slapped the second wife across the face and said, "Get out."
