I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle
Chapter 203 It’s all for your marriage!
"Aunt, I have done everything you asked me to do." Xie Chundai said as she respectfully handed over the booklet in her hand.
Madam Xie took it, glanced at it, and put it on the table next to her. Her smile did not reach her eyes: "Chun Dai, speaking of it, this kind of tree work is dirty and tiring, it would be better to let the servants do it. Look at you, you insist on doing it yourself."
"Aunt, you are too kind. I didn't plant the trees myself. I just watched them to prevent them from being lazy. Aunt thinks highly of me and let me take care of this matter. I am so happy."
"Chun Dai, you are still considerate."
Xie Chundai smiled and took out a fine red jade hairpin from her sleeve pocket.
When Mrs. Xie saw the hairpin, her eyes suddenly lit up.
This red jade hairpin is as red as blood and bright in color. It is obviously a rare treasure at first glance.
"Aunt, I think this hairpin suits you very well. Only when it is worn on your head can its beauty be revealed."
Madam Xie smiled indifferently: "Dai'er, this thing is yours, I can't take it."
"Aunt, you are being too polite to me. I am too young to deserve such a color. Only a lady as dignified and graceful as you can suppress it."
As she spoke, Xie Chundai directly stuffed the red jade hairpin into Madam Xie's hand.
Madam Xie smiled faintly: "I have many hairpins like this. However, since you are so filial, it would be bad if I didn't accept it. In this case, I will accept it. I will take you out tomorrow and personally choose some jewelry for you."
"Okay, thank you, aunt. If you have nothing else to tell me, Dai'er will leave first."
"Okay, go down and rest."
After Xie Chundai left, the smile on Mrs. Xie's face instantly disappeared.
She handed the red jade hairpin in her hand to Madam Rong and instructed, "Go find the court doctor to see if there is anything wrong with this hairpin."
Mrs. Xie has always been careful in this regard.
Nanny Rong immediately took the hairpin and went to see the court physician.
Not long after Xie Chundai left, Mrs. Xie II arrived.
As soon as she came, she got straight to the point: "Sister-in-law, what do you think about what I asked you for earlier?"
Madam Xie sighed, "Sister-in-law, this is about Dai'er's lifelong event, so don't rush. You are an experienced person, so you naturally know how serious the consequences are for a woman to marry the wrong person. Besides, now that the incident with my second brother has just come out, people will shy away whenever he is mentioned. It's really hard to find a good family for Dai'er at this time."
"But Dai'er can't wait. She's already at the age to get married, but now that her father has passed away, she has to observe mourning for three years. If she really has to wait three years to get married, she will be almost eighteen years old by then, and will become an old maid. She can only marry and become a stepmother. It's better for her to find a good family now and get married as soon as the mourning period is over."
"That's easy for you to say. Where can I find someone for you?"
Mrs. Xie looked anxious: "Sister-in-law, if it really doesn't work, I have a few paintings and I'll send them to you right away. You know, after that dead guy passed away, his paintings have become more and more valuable."
Hearing this, Madam Xie looked at Madam Xie II with disdain and said, "Is this about money? However, we can find a matchmaker who specializes in matchmaking for the rich and powerful. You know, these matchmakers always have big appetites, and they don't care about ordinary small favors at all."
Having said this, Madam Xie stopped talking and just leisurely took the cup of tea handed to her by the maid and took a sip.
Now, what else does Mrs. Xie not understand?
She immediately stood up, said goodbye, and walked out the door quickly.
After going out, she walked towards her yard to look for those paintings.
Unexpectedly, when they opened the box containing the paintings, it was empty.
She was about to call the maid in to ask, when she suddenly saw Xie Chundai sitting right in front of her.
Madam Xie was startled and complained, "You silly girl, what are you doing sitting here? You scared me!"
"What does mother want the painting for?"
"It's all because of your marriage! Your aunt is a fake person. She says no, but she really wants it."
"Since mother knew that my aunt was such a person, why did she continue to indulge her appetite? There are only a few paintings left by father. Nowadays, the longer a painting is preserved, the more valuable it is."
Madam Xie sighed, "I definitely know. But your father's death has left the mess to me. I don't know any noble lady, so I can't arrange a good marriage for you. I can only put all my hopes on her."
"Mother, she won't worry about my marriage. You don't have to try to please her for this in the future."
"What are you talking about, you silly girl? She won't do that. You don't know, she is a very fake person. Even if it is just to gain a good reputation, she will find you a good family. Now, it's just to take Qiao's place. As long as it satisfies her appetite, she will agree."
"It seems that mother doesn't believe what I said?" As she said this, Xie Chundai took out a pair of scissors from a box beside her.
"What are you doing with the scissors? Put them down now!"
"If mother continues to insist on my marriage, I will scratch this face and completely put an end to your idea of arranging a marriage for me!"
"You silly girl, what are you talking about? What's wrong with you lately? Why do you always look so scheming? Are you hiding something from me?"
Xie Chundai's face was calm: "Mother, just remember what I said. In the future, you don't have to ask my aunt for my marriage. It will be fruitless."
"But I just promised her that I would get her the painting."
Xie Chundai seemed to have expected this to happen, and took out a few paintings from the bag she brought with her: "Then just take these paintings to deal with it."
"Didn't you say I couldn't give her the painting?"
"These paintings are the ones that my father didn't finish."
Madam Xie was shocked: "You little girl, are you crazy? If I give her a painting like this, she will scold me to death."
"You were panicked when your father passed away suddenly. How could you have the energy to check these carefully? You saw that these paintings were well placed and thought they were finished paintings. After all, you don't understand these things."
She did this to find an excuse for Madam Xie II.
Mrs. Xie nodded immediately and left.
After she left, Xie Chundai pinched her eyebrows weakly.
At this time, Xie Shaoqian came out from the inner room, his face gloomy: "Sister, I'm sorry to bother you."
"It's nothing, just some tricks. Qian'er, now we have no one to rely on. From now on, we have to rely on ourselves for everything."
"Don't worry, sister. I will study hard and support you in the future."
"Yeah!" Xie Chundai nodded heavily, feeling exhausted and unable to say anything else.
After a long while, Xie Shaoqian finally walked up to her and said with hatred: "Sister, we want to avenge our father..."
Before Xie Shaoqian could finish his words, Xie Chundai covered his mouth.
