The wind is gentle and the fun is endless

"Ah!" Mrs. Xie woke up from her sleep and sat up immediately. The quilt under her hands was crumpled into a ball by her, and her face was as pale as her underwear.

She stared at the ground with dull eyes. The silver moonlight shone through the tightly closed window, outlining the shape of the window frame and spreading on the ground.

Mrs. Xie's mind was filled with images and memories from her dream: the beautiful boy was beside Qingbo, smiling playfully as he tilted his head to look at the girl beside him. The boy's focused eyes were filled with tenderness, and his stunning eyes were shining! She was just passing by in a carriage, but she was instantly amazed by the unintentional glance, as if her heart was struck by something, and her three souls and six spirits were captured, directing her eyes to follow the boy until his figure disappeared from her sight.

Once you see it, it's a lifetime...

Mrs. Xie frowned, patted her chest, got up from the bed with a heavy heart, walked to the table in the bright moonlight, picked up the kettle from the table, poured a full cup of water, held the cup in her hand and drank it in big gulps.

After drinking the water, she was stunned for a while. She still felt very stuffy, so she walked to the window, opened the window fan to take a breath, and sat down on the official hat chair next to the table in front of the window.

Gusts of autumn night wind rushed in, ruffling Mrs. Xie's hair, but she didn't bother to tidy up her hair, just breathed in the cool air flowing in from the window. After breathing for a long time, she felt that the stuffiness in her chest was slightly relieved, but her mind was still empty, so she gently leaned on the table to continue blowing the wind, and fell asleep with her arms as a pillow without realizing it.

The next day, my aunt, who had moved to Xinyuan, came to Jingyuan early to find Mrs. Xie. She hadn't slept for half the night before, and after thinking about it, she decided that she should start with Mrs. Xie and get her support to do things.

In the hall, the eldest aunt deliberately sat in the main seat closest to Madam Xie, leaned over and said softly: "Sister-in-law, I hope you will think carefully about what I said yesterday."

Mrs. Xie was woken up by the cold in the second half of the night. Although she immediately closed the window and went back to bed to rest, she still felt very unwell today. In the morning, she heard the servant come to announce that her elder sister-in-law had arrived. She forced herself to get up, wash up, and then go to the hall to meet her elder sister-in-law.

Mrs. Xie was feeling dizzy at the moment, and it seemed difficult for her to understand what her elder sister-in-law said. She asked, "What did my elder sister say?"

After hearing this, the eldest aunt thought that Mrs. Xie was pretending to be confused, and she was a little unhappy. She turned around and sat up straight, and her words were less gentle than before, and said, "I said that Xu Si should return to the common people to share the dividends, and let Qu'er officially take over the family business."

Mrs. Xie noticed the change in her aunt's tone and quickly said, "Sister, you have a point, but we can't rush this matter. We need to think about it in the long run."

Seeing that the eldest aunt did not speak, Madam Xie continued, "His second uncle has also worked hard and made great contributions over the years. Many important businesses were completed under his leadership. Therefore, whether from a moral or practical point of view, we cannot and should not let his second uncle let go just because he wants to."

The eldest aunt seemed to have heard what she said. She turned around and said to Madam Xie, "I understand what you mean, but the transfer of power must have a beginning. Now that Qu'er has started a family, as the saying goes, one must start a family and a career. It's time for him to slowly take over the affairs of the clan."

Mrs. Xie felt dizzy and only heard half of what her aunt said. She was also confused and did not say anything for a while.

Seeing that Mrs. Xie looked very depressed and absent-minded, the eldest aunt thought that Mrs. Xie was not interested in this and sighed in her heart: Stepmother is different. This poor nephew has no father or mother, and only she, his biological aunt, is still fighting for his interests.

Thinking of this, the eldest aunt simply pointed it out and said directly: "Sister-in-law, you also know that I have always been an open person and never do shady things. Why don't we open up to each other today and tell me what you think about this matter."

Mrs. Xie felt aches all over her body, difficulty breathing, and a heavy head. She lowered her head and could only hum a few times without saying anything else.

Seeing this, the eldest aunt's expression turned cold and she said, "Are you also afraid that Qu'er managing the family business will take away your power? After all, Xu Si is not in a legitimate position here, and he needs you to be in charge so that things can go smoothly. In this situation, your position is stable..."

Mrs. Xie stood up anxiously after hearing half of this and said, "Sister, how could I be that kind of person? I..."

Before Mrs. Xie could finish her words, she suddenly went limp and fell to the ground.

“Sister-in-law!” The eldest aunt exclaimed, and quickly came to Madam Xie’s side, took Madam Xie’s arm, hugged her from behind, and shouted outside: “Someone come! Madam has fainted! Aunt Zhang! Someone come quickly!”

There was a panic in the Xu residence, and soon, Doctor Shi was invited over to see Madam Xie. Xu Qu, Huanhuan, Xiangyue and the eldest aunt were all waiting outside Madam Xie's bedroom.

Huanhuan hadn't seen her aunt for many days, so she followed Xu Qu and Xiang Yue and went up to greet her aunt. Her aunt's response to Huanhuan was obviously different from her warm response to Xu Qu and Xiang Yue. She just hummed softly and didn't even look at Huanhuan.

At this time, there were many people from the mansion standing outside the door. Such a sharp contrast made Huanhuan feel a little embarrassed for a moment. It was only when Xiangyue spoke up and changed the subject that the awkwardness was resolved.

"Mother has always been in good health. Why did she suddenly faint this time?" Xiangyue said worriedly.

"You also said that your mother has always been in good health, so there shouldn't be any serious problem." The eldest aunt advised.

"That's what I'm afraid of. Some people would cause trouble to others for their own selfish interests. It's hard to guard against!" As soon as the words fell, the second uncle, second aunt, and Xiangyin came into the house.

"Hmph! Selfishness?" The eldest aunt glanced at the second uncle and said, "If there weren't some people who are too arrogant and break the rules for personal gain, these incidents wouldn't have happened. Everything in this world will be smooth and orderly if it follows the rules. Why would there be any worries?" The eldest aunt was not to be outdone. After she finished speaking, she turned to look at the bedroom and no longer looked at the second uncle.

"You..." The second uncle was so angry that he was about to explode, but the second aunt stepped forward, took his arm and whispered, "It is not appropriate to talk too much in front of your sister-in-law's bed." The second uncle turned his head to look at the second aunt. His wife had always been of the same mind as him, and at this moment she was staring at the eldest aunt with displeasure.

With the advice of his wife, who shared the same hatred for the "enemy", the second uncle calmed down a lot. He patted the hand of the second aunt who was holding his arm, and said nothing more. He looked towards the door of Madam Xie's bedroom with some depression.

The eldest aunt and the second uncle have never gotten along. This is no secret in the Xu family. Those who know the truth first looked at each other, and then either lowered their heads or looked away. For a moment, no one was speechless.

It was the first time for Huanhuan to see her aunt and uncle act like this. Although they didn't mention their names, anyone with a discerning eye could hear the back and forth and sarcastic remarks in their words. Huanhuan's family was always happy and harmonious, and she rarely saw such a scene. She wondered what they meant by their words and didn't understand why their relationship was so strained and why they didn't hide their opposition in front of so many people.

Huanhuan was just thinking about it when her second aunt happened to look at her. She seemed dissatisfied with the surprised look in her eyes when she looked at her second uncle. When Huanhuan noticed it, she quickly restrained her expression and turned her gaze to the other side.

She saw Xu Qu standing beside her, still looking calm and composed, and she didn't need to pretend like the people around her did. She thought slowly that ear disease was not necessarily a bad thing, and it was better not to listen to the annoying sound.
