Favoring the concubine and killing the wife? She divorced the concubine and lived with her concubine
Chapter 53: Good for You
No matter how hard Xiao Lan searched her mind, she couldn't find any memory of the original owner treating her parents badly. All that remained were her parents' earnest advice and careful guidance...
But Xiao Lan didn't believe it! She didn't believe that the original owner's relationship with her parents was really as ordinary as she remembered! She had just told her about her experiences in the Sun family, and Mrs. Xiao's slap didn't hit Sun Shaohua's face but hit her face. She found it incredible.
Xiao Lan didn't know what to say. Perhaps she had too high expectations of her parents, so she slapped her to the ground. What was even more terrible was that these two people looked exactly like her parents, but they were doing things that made her unbearable.
She stopped talking and returned to her yard with her face covered. Jasmine, Haitang and Mother Xu were waiting for her there.
She didn't go into the house, not wanting Xin'er to see her so lonely, so she just sat down in the yard.
"Madam...are you okay?" Mother Xu handed Xiao Lan a cup of hot tea, but she didn't take it.
She turned around to look at Mother Xu and Jasmine, and asked blankly, "Were they like this before?"
"What's wrong?" Jasmine noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Lan, and Mother Xu also noticed the redness and swelling on her face.
The slap was so hard that Xiao Lan could even taste the blood in his mouth.
"I don't like... me..."
Mother Xu felt distressed by Xiao Lan's sad eyes, "No, Master and his wife are doing this for your own good! They're afraid that Master Sun will turn around and hold a grudge against you! He can divorce you for being unfilial!" Mother Xu also expressed her concerns.
At that time, she had also advised Xiao Lan that Madam Sun's funeral should be held in a respectable manner and not be frivolous, but Xiao Lan would not listen. She knew the suffering Xiao Lan had suffered because of Madam Sun, so it was inconvenient to persuade her again.
"Of course I don't like it. I've been very good to you. Your dowry shocked the whole city. If you didn't like it, why would you give me so much?" Jasmine also comforted him, but she sounded guilty.
Jasmine had been with Xiao Lan since she was a child. She knew whether Master and Madam Xiao treated her well. Xiao Lan was their only daughter, so it was impossible to say they were not good. However, their strict discipline and unyielding attitude had cultivated Xiao Lan into a cowardly and awkward person.
"Just giving money is enough? I remember they were very strict with me!" Xiao Lan gradually calmed down.
"Yes, Master and Madam Xiao have only one daughter like you, so naturally they have brought you up strictly according to the standards of a lady from a noble family. You have the best food, clothing and other necessities at home, and they have hired a female teacher to teach you how to read and write. I also think that they may be worried that Master Sun will use this to make things difficult for you, so they did this to show her." Jasmine tried to comfort him again, but Xiao Lan didn't believe it.
She could see the genuine resentment in her parents' eyes. She had been through such a huge thing, and had just confronted the Sun family about their actions, but the original owner's parents hadn't even come over to ask a single question. They were still nagging in Sun Shaohua's room! This wasn't what normal parents did! They weren't even as anxious and worried as Dr. Li had been when he came that day...
At this moment, the servant outside the door said that the owner of the fabric shop came with two craftsmen. Although Xiao Lan was not in a good mood, he set the time himself and it was not appropriate to chase them away, so he invited them in.
By the way, I called Fang Qingqing, Xiaoqing and Xiaobai to come along!
The three of them were led into the house and helped a group of women get their measurements taken. When the technician was measuring Xin'er, he saw the wound under her bellyband and his hands trembled. He cried out, "Poor girl!" She thought Xin'er's wound was from the robbers that day. No one explained.
A lot of materials were brought in, and several people were choosing patterns and chatting with each other, which actually made Xiao Lan feel a little better.
Xiao Lan looked at them and instantly felt that these people might be her "family" here.
Even after all the materials were selected, Mr. and Mrs. Xiao did not come to the yard to see Xiao Lan and their granddaughter!
The owner and his assistants brought a lot of jewelry to the jewelry store. Xiao Lan didn't choose and took them all. When the owner left, Xiao Lan finally saw her parents coming from afar, their faces grim.
Mr. and Mrs. Xiao entered the room and saw a table full of jewelry that had not yet been put away. They said nothing. Turning to look at Xin'er who was walking over, their expression brightened slightly.
"Greetings to Grandpa and Grandma!" Xin'er had always been polite and knew how to greet everyone she met. She had never met her grandparents, but Mother Xu had taught her long ago how to address them.
"Xin'er, be good..." Mrs. Xiao squatted down and was about to hug Xin'er, but was stopped by Xiao Lan.
"She's injured and hasn't recovered yet. You can't hold her like this!"
"How can the injury be so serious that you can't even hold him?" Mrs. Xiao's face suddenly fell and she gave Xiao Lan a sidelong look.
"Didn't you hear what I said to Sun Shaohua just now? Sun Shaohua's maid scalded him with boiling water!" Xiao Lan was so angry that she said something unpleasant. She turned around and pushed Xin'er out of the room and asked Haitang to take her away.
"Let me see! How it's burned!" Mr. Xiao reached out and grabbed Xin'er.
This pull actually tore Xiner's wound. Xiner frowned and her eyes turned red, but she tried not to cry. She tried to button her clothes with her little hands but couldn't unbutton them!
Haitang hurried to help. When Xiao Lan was about to pull Master Xiao away, Master Xiao had already let go and sat down on the seat in the room.
Xiao Lan didn't like Xin'er experiencing any hardship; she'd already suffered so much at such a young age. But now, she let Haitang unbutton her clothes. She wanted to see for herself whether the original owner's parents, who looked exactly like her own, truly had any filial piety.
Xin'er's wound had already scabbed over, and the dark wound looked ugly. Mrs. Xiao stepped forward and looked at it carefully. There was some heartache in her eyes, but also a lot of complaints, and finally turned to disgust.
Xiao Lan asked Haitang to take Xin'er away and told everyone else to leave. Fang Qingqing felt the atmosphere was not right and was reluctant to leave, but staying would also cause trouble given her status, so she hid outside the house. Mother Xu also didn't want to leave and stayed behind Xiao Lan.
"Xin'er is in this condition now. Is there any medicine that can cure her?" Mrs. Xiao spoke first.
"It will definitely leave a scar!" Xiao Lan's tone was not very good, and he looked at Mrs. Xiao with an unkind look.
"You don't have to be so angry with me. This child is your own. As a mother, you can't take good care of her. You can only blame yourself for your incompetence!" Madam Xiao glanced at Mother Xu. "Mother Xu, I asked you to accompany me to take care of the young lady, and this is how it turned out?"
"Madam, the Sun family is a cruel family. Old Madam Sun allowed her maids to treat you harshly. She refused to treat you when you were sick and even pinched your mouth and fed you poison in front of the old servants!" When Madam Xu recalled this incident, she felt uncomfortable all over and her chest felt stuffy. She looked at her former master and mistress with red eyes, trying to disclose the devilish behavior of the Sun family to them.
"Lan'er, as the mistress of the house, you can't even serve your mother-in-law! How can you let others dislike you to this extent?" Madam Xiao's eyes were full of surprise, as if what Madam Xu said was that Xiao Lan and Madam Xu had conspired to feed poison to Sun!
