As Madam Xie finished speaking, none of the maids and servants in the room dared to respond.

It’s strange to say, ever since Liao Tongxia became pregnant, her yard has been guarded like an iron wall, and no one from outside can get in.

That would have been fine, but Liao Tongxia only used her own people for food and daily necessities, and she had no say in the matter.

Even though Madam Xie was determined to get rid of the baby in Liao Tongxia's belly and tried many ways, it was all useless.

Not only did her plans repeatedly fail, but Liao Tongxia's status in the Xie family rose rapidly.

Not only is he in charge of the mansion's accounts, he already has the support of Xie Liang and is now being sought after by the people from the second house. He can be said to be the most popular person!

You know, originally the people from the second house were all rushing to flatter her.

But now, when he saw her in the mansion, he acted as if he didn't see her and just turned his head away.

Now Liao Tongxia has even suggested such a good marriage to Xie Chundai. If this marriage really goes through, Liao Tongxia will become the daughter-in-law of the Yun'an Marquis's Mansion, and her status in the Xie family will become even lower.

No, no, she must ruin this marriage!

On the other side, after Liao Tongxia returned to her room, she finally laughed after holding back her laughter all the way: "This old woman must be mad as hell right now."

Grandma Gao echoed, "Who says it's not true? Madam Xie looks kind, but in fact she is intolerant. Who knows how angry she must be right now."

"She deserves to be pissed off to death! This time, I must arrange Xie Chundai's wedding properly and make this old woman pissed off to death!"

"This marriage is absolutely beyond Madam Xie's imagination. It was a coincidence that when Madam was looking for candidates, she accidentally learned that the young master of the Yun'an Marquis's Mansion admired Xie Jing's paintings. With this relationship, the young master of the Yun'an Marquis's Mansion was ecstatic when he knew that Xie Jing's daughter was going to get married. He didn't even have any prejudice against family background. It's really a good thing!"

Liao Tongxia touched her belly and smiled: "After the 15th, the Yun'an Marquis's Mansion will officially find a matchmaker to propose marriage. I really can't wait!"

I can’t wait to see how ugly Madam Xie’s face will be!

"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there are only about ten days until the fifteenth day. It will be soon."

"That's right!" Liao Tongxia was even more proud and ordered Madam Gao, "Madam, find someone to call Xie Chundai and tell her that I'm looking for her."

Xie Chundai is a smart person, the only thing she lacks is that she hasn't learned etiquette very well. Now if she is taught some lessons, she will definitely not let the people in Yun'an Earl's Mansion laugh at her.

In the following days, apart from attending necessary banquets, Liao Tongxia spent most of her time teaching Xie Chundai the etiquette of wealthy families.

Fortunately, Xie Chundai was smart and teaching was not difficult for her.

But on the tenth day, Mrs. Liao came in a hurry.

And there is bad news.

"What? The Yun'an Marquis's Mansion is not planning to propose marriage? Why is that?"

Madam Liao quickly pressed down Liao Tongxia, who was about to jump up in anger, and comforted her, "Don't worry. I've already inquired about it. It's you, the old woman, who is doing bad things. She has been busy these few days after the New Year. She also spread rumors that Xie Chundai's behavior is vulgar and she is not worthy of being a good wife. She also said that she is not from a high family and does not know the rules. After hearing such news, how dare Yun'an Bo's Mansion come to propose marriage?"

Liao Tongxia was so angry that she almost burst into flames: "This damn old woman is really a thief with a heart of evil! No, this cooked duck must not be let fly! I have to think of a way to save this marriage! Got it, mother, you see what banquets Madam Yun Anbo has been attending recently. When the time comes, I will bring Xie Chundai to attend as well, so that Madam Yun Anbo can see with her own eyes whether Xie Chundai knows the rules or not."

Seeing Liao Tongxia was so anxious that she was like a house on fire, Mrs. Liao pulled her and said, "Xia'er, this matter seems simple, but it is actually very difficult to handle. Think about it, it was your mother-in-law who spread the news. In the eyes of outsiders, she will not be considered mean to the younger generation, but will be considered as daring to tell the truth. If you bring Xie Chundai to the banquet, not only will people not feel the goodness of Xie Chundai, but they will think that you are too anxious and eager to get married. Who would dare to marry such a person with an unstable temperament?"

"Then, then there is no solution at all?"

"The Yun'an Marquis's Mansion is no longer viable. I'll think about it and see if there is any family with a good family background that would like Xie Chundai."

For a moment, Liao Tongxia was also discouraged: "But, there will never be a better family than the Yun'an Marquis's Mansion."

After all, the Yun'an Marquis's Mansion is the best family that Xie Chundai can get.

People from higher social classes would look down upon Xie Chundai's attitude.

Even the Yun'an Marquis's Mansion was built because his son loved Xie Jing's paintings so much that he loved the whole house as well.

Otherwise, with Xie Chundai's family background, she would not be favored by the Yun'an Earl's Mansion.

Madam Liao also knew that there would not be a better family than the Yun'an Marquis's Mansion, but now that Madam Xie had released such news, she had no choice.

"Xia'er, don't worry. I'll look for the next one carefully. Even if it's not as good as the Yun'an Marquis' Mansion, it can't be too bad. Anyway, I have to help you keep this place up."

"Mother, you are so good to me." Liao Tongxia held Mrs. Liao's arm, deeply moved.

"Silly girl, you are my daughter. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well? From now on, don't be so willful."

"Don't worry, mother. It won't happen again."

After seeing her mother off, Liao Tongxia couldn't help but think, if she hadn't been so willful and insisted on marrying Xie Shaohang, wouldn't it be easy for her, the daughter of a second-rank official, to marry into a family of the same background?

How could it be like now, marrying a man who doesn't love her, pregnant with a child of unknown father, and having to be on guard against that old woman Madam Xie all the time, in case she gets hurt?

It’s a pity that it’s too late to say anything at this point.

All of this was her own choice.

Now, since the situation cannot be changed, no one who has brought her to this situation can escape!

When Liao Tongxia was thinking about this, she heard Xie Chundai's voice greeting her: "Good afternoon, sister-in-law."

At this moment, Liao Tongxia was in the worst mood. She opened her eyelids and glanced at Xie Chundai: "Go back. You don't need to learn this rule anymore."

"Yes, sister-in-law."

After responding, Xie Chundai turned around and walked outside.

Liao Tongxia felt a little strange and stopped her: "I said I didn't need to learn anymore, why didn't you ask me the reason?"

"Since sister-in-law said so, she must have her reasons. I know that sister-in-law treats me well, so there is no need to ask more questions."

Xie Chundai was so sensible that Liao Tongxia felt much better.

She asked Xie Chundai to sit down and told her the whole story.

After hearing this, Xie Chundai’s face turned pale.

Seeing her like this, Liao Tongxia advised: "Chun Dai, don't worry. I have asked my mother to look for candidates. If we lose the Yun'an Marquis' Mansion, there will be others."

Xie Chundai bit her lower lip, tears in her eyes threatening to fall: "Sister-in-law, is there really no other way to deal with this?"

"No. After all, she is your aunt. Even if I step in to deal with this matter, I can't salvage anything." Liao Tongxia was still very angry.

Xie Chundai was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Sister-in-law, can we ask my great-aunt to help with this matter?"
