Chapter 11 Conquering Old Lady Xiao
Since Madam Xiao has come to deliver the message, I'm sure everyone else in the mansion knows about it as well.
Qianqian got up early the next morning and prepared to pay her respects to the old man and old lady of the Xiao family.
After washing up with the help of Xiao Cui, she chose a plain dress, then sat in front of the dressing mirror and was dressed by Nanny Li. Her parents had just passed away, so it was not appropriate to observe a grand mourning ceremony at her maternal grandparents' home, but she had to keep things simple.
Qianqian raised her head and looked at the bronze mirror. This was the first time she had looked directly at the face of this body since she had traveled through time. It looked vaguely familiar, and was about 70% similar to her appearance in this world.
However, this body looks like a little white flower, and this outfit makes her look even more pitiful. As for her, her classmates said she looked aloof. She had a look that made people want to protect her, but she was wearing a layer of armor.
Soon, Qianqian took Ye'er and Li Ma Ma out. The former led the way, while the latter held gifts for the two old people in her hands, which were a headband and a pair of knee pads, packed in a fine box.
Nanny Li's face was a little bit puzzled. These two things were made by the young lady yesterday, asking her and Xiao Cui. She deliberately asked them to make the stitches a little messy, so they looked like that, but they were really not presentable.
But the young lady insisted, so Li Mama let her do what she wanted. After the young lady recovered from her illness, her temperament changed a little. I think it was because she had experienced too much in a short period of time. But if she were to say, it was good for her to become more independent now, which was better than before...
Along the way, the group walked along the winding path through the small garden, crossed the big garden, went up and down the small garden bridge, passed through several courtyards, and passed through a corridor... After a long time, Qianqian was sweating, and Yeer finally said, "Miss cousin, we're here."
Qianqian couldn't help but hold on to Nanny Li's arm and take a breath. She waited until her heartbeat calmed down before she stepped in. After asking someone to inform everyone, she waited for a while before being called in.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw two elderly people sitting in the hall, and next to them were their three daughters-in-law and several other female relatives. Everyone was talking about something, but as soon as someone came in, they all fell silent and looked at her.
Lu Qianqian pinched herself hard, looked up at the hall, and said in a trembling voice: "Grandfather, grandmother, Qianqian greets you two." Then she knelt down and kowtowed.
This really shocked the others, because when they greeted each other they just asked how they were, no one just knelt down, so is this cousin so honest?
Old Mrs. Xiao was also startled and said quickly: "Oh, Qianqian, why are you kneeling down? There is no need to do this. You are not well yet, get up quickly." Then she motioned to the nanny beside her to support her.
Mrs. Xiao on the other side also echoed, "Yes, yes, there is no need to do that. Just say hello. Get up quickly." These words made Mrs. Xiao's expression pause.
After Qianqian got up, she bowed to the two elders again: "Grandma is so kind, but I just wanted to kowtow on my own. Qianqian, Qianqian finally sees grandpa and grandma." After saying that, she lowered her head to wipe away her tears, trying hard to hold back the sobs.
When the little white flower cried and pretended to be strong, her lethality doubled. Old Mrs. Xiao also looked reluctant. Old Master Xiao, who had been silent since entering the door, said sarcastically: "You still know us?"
Qianqian knew that the Xiao family was still angry about what happened back then, so she had to get herself out of this situation. Besides, her original body really didn’t know about it at all: “Qianqian only found out about it recently. My mother… told me. Qianqian actually just realized that she also had a maternal family.”
Old Master Xiao continued to tease her: "You didn't know this before, and your mother never mentioned it?"
Qianqian...you forced me to do this. She burst into tears and almost sobbed. "In the past, my mother often cried and said that she had no home, so we were in the Lu family...something happened at home that day and my mother fell ill. I didn't expect that after she became seriously ill, she remembered the past. My mother felt that she was unfilial and became more seriously ill in grief. I only found out about it at that time. I should have come to visit immediately, but I didn't want to..."
Old Mrs. Xiao couldn't bear it and was angry with her daughter, but after all, she had loved her since she was a child. Now that she was gone, only this flesh and blood was left. No matter what, she was old enough and should let the past go.
Old Madam Xiao interrupted what the old man was about to say: "Alright, alright, let's not talk about the past. We didn't know she had lost her memory, otherwise, with her personality, how could she be bullied by the Lu family ever since." The matter was settled like this, which was good for everyone.
Then he said to Qianqian, "It's a pity that such a good granddaughter of mine could only see her for the first time when I was half buried in the ground. She also suffered so much hardship. Come, come to your grandmother."
Qianqian complained in her heart, I suffered even greater trouble when I came to your house, o(╥﹏╥)o, please save the child!
But he obediently leaned over, wiped away his tears, and put away his sad expression. Now his eyes were full of admiration and tears, just like a good child who missed his grandmother.
As for the others, just leave them alone for now. Who has the patience to greet them one by one? There aren't many good people.
And as for my grandfather, forget it. Except for Xiao Yuanhuai, the other men in the Xiao family are not that good. It’s not even worth holding on to him. Wait, Xiao Yuanhuai is not even a member of the Xiao family, so this Xiao family, wow.
Madam Xiao was a little unhappy, so why did they get intimate? She had been criticized by her sister-in-law before, who said she was pretending and laughed at her for being shabby. What was so funny about this? She was the mistress of the Xiao family, married in a formal ceremony, not some lowly merchant!
To be honest, when her sister-in-law did that, she wanted to laugh for three days. But now, her only daughter has to make a living under her.
Lu Qianqian and the system could not have imagined these things. After all, who would have thought that someone would hold a grudge against someone for a lifetime because of a few words? Madam Xiao never showed it on her face, but everything she did to the original body later was probably due to this reason.
At this moment, Madam Xiao glanced around and saw what Li Mama was holding. She asked directly, "Hey, Qianqian, did you bring this?"
Qianqian then turned to look at her, pretending to be shy, but actually thinking, what a nice compliment: "Hello, auntie, this is Qianqian's gift to grandpa and grandma."
The old couple became interested. Madam Xiao stood up and walked to Li Madam. She opened the box and said, "That's really thoughtful." She then said to the old couple, "Let your daughter-in-law take it over to you two!"
Until she took out the headband and kneepads, "This is... Puchi..." Madam Xiao couldn't help laughing. The stitches were too messy, just like they were chewed by a dog. No way, did her sister-in-law teach her daughter badly? It's okay that she's not good at sewing, but she doesn't understand human nature?
Others gathered around curiously, and when they saw the so-called gifts, they all tried to hold back their laughter. They really couldn't present them.
Qianqian's face flushed as she tried to hold it back. She hesitantly explained, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, aunts. I don't know how to do needlework, but I heard that these should be made by hand, so I..." Then, as if she couldn't help herself, she forced herself to add, "It's not that ugly, is it?"
For a moment, everyone else laughed out loud, but Old Mrs. Xiao beside her had tears in her eyes. Even Old Grandpa Xiao, whose face was full of confusion, softened his gaze.
This eye-catching craftsmanship and this stubborn look are exactly like their daughter...
They are not without pain about what happened back then. When people get old, they sometimes recall the past. At that time, Old Master Xiao was busy with official duties and neglected his daughter, but his wife doted on her. They did not teach her about the treacherous nature of human nature and the honor and disgrace of the family, but they liked her for being straightforward, cute, and daring to do and say what she wanted. If they were to say something was wrong, it was all wrong!
If Lu Qianqian knew now that her attempt to capture Old Madam Xiao could unexpectedly break a crack in Old Master Xiao's iron heart, she would probably be so happy that her mouth would be crooked with laughter.
But no matter what she originally thought, she would soon be unhappy.
Old Madam Xiao calmed down and decided that since her daughter had not been well raised and left regrets, she would raise her granddaughter well from now on: "Qianqian, you are thoughtful, but your aunt is right. You really need to practice needlework. From today on, you will live in your grandmother's yard. I will keep an eye on you personally!"
Qianqian: What?
Others: Huh?
