Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy
Chapter 139 Mid-Autumn Festival Family Banquet
Jing'an Marquis Mansion.
The dining hall was brightly lit, the windows were open, and golden light was floating. Maids were coming in and out, setting the banquet table in an orderly manner.
Old Madam Xie, dressed elegantly, reclined on a soft couch, beaming at the assembled descendants of the Xie family, her mood extremely relaxed. Second Madam An stood respectfully beside Old Madam Xie, diligently serving her from time to time.
Madam Xie looked up at An and asked with a smile, "Is everyone here? Let's start the banquet!"
An leaned forward slightly, approached Old Madam Xie, and replied respectfully, "Mother-in-law, the Marquis hasn't come back yet."
Madam Xie frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "There's no Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace this year. Jingyuan should have returned home long ago. Why hasn't he come yet?"
She glanced out the window and whispered, "It's getting late. Send someone to the second gate to welcome us." An hurriedly took the order and left.
Xie Qingli hurried to the door of the dining hall. After calming down a little, she walked into the dining hall and sat down quietly in a corner where no one was paying attention.
She had just returned from Miaoxin Hall when she saw Chunya pacing anxiously at the bedroom door. It turned out that the Second Madam had suddenly sent someone to announce that a Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet would be held that evening, and the masters of each courtyard must go to the dining hall for dinner. Xie Qingli hurriedly changed her clothes and rushed over.
This was the first time the Xie family had a meal together since Xie Qingli returned to Beijing. It seemed that the eldest princess's invitation to the chrysanthemum banquet had put Mrs. Xie in a very good mood, and she even had the mind to hold this family dinner.
Xie Qingli looked up at everyone.
Xie Jingliang and Xie Jingwen were sitting together. Xie Jingliang was talking loudly while Xie Jingwen lowered his head slightly and listened respectfully. From a distance, it looked like a boss was scolding a subordinate.
Xie Qingli looked around but could not find Xie Jingyuan. She was extremely confused. Xie Jingyuan had already left Miaoxin Hall and should have returned home long ago. Why was he absent?
Xie Qingli turned her gaze to the other side. Jiang Muxue and Xing were chatting casually. Jiang Muxue was a little absent-minded, but when Xie Qingli's gaze met hers, Xie Qingli nodded slightly at her, and Jiang Muxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Not far behind the two of them, a woman in plain clothes huddled in the shadow of the corner. She looked uneasy and her eyes were wandering. She didn't dare to look anyone in the eye. This person was Xie Jingliang's aunt and Xie Qingman's biological mother, Aunt Luo. She usually stayed in the yard and was rarely seen out.
In the middle of the hall, the younger generation of children sat together. As the only male child, Xie Tingxuan was surrounded by the sisters like a star, and his expression was full of impatience.
Xie Qingyao and Xie Qingqi sat on Xie Tingxuan's left and right, talking and laughing, like a pair of sisters with a very good relationship. Xie Qingman stood beside Xie Qingqi, interrupting from time to time to say a few flattering words.
Xie Qingrong glanced at the few people coldly, thinking that these people were so hypocritical. She looked up from time to time, and when she saw Xie Qingli in the corner, her eyes suddenly lit up. She stood up and walked quickly to Xie Qingli, took Xie Qingli's hand and walked towards the crowd.
Xie Qingyao clenched the handkerchief in her hand upon seeing this, secretly wondering when Xie Qingli had taken Xie Qingrong under his wing. She was unhappy in her heart, but said with great envy, "They have such a good relationship!"
Xie Qingqi was extremely disdainful. He glared at Xie Qingrong fiercely and muttered in a low voice, "Flatterer!"
Xie Tingxuan looked up at Xie Qingli. Last time, he was suddenly called back to attend Xie Qingli's ancestral recognition ceremony. He found out that he had a beautiful sister. But later he heard that Xie Qingli slapped his elder sister Xie Qingqi on the day he just came back, so he hated Xie Qingli.
Seeing Xie Qingli approaching, Xie Tingxuan secretly stretched out his foot. Tripping her to the ground, avenging his sister, Xie Tingxuan thought.
Xie Qingli had already noticed Xie Tingxuan's little movement. She curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and kicked Xie Tingxuan's foot with the internal force in her foot as she passed by.
The long skirt concealed the movements of Xie Qingli's feet. In the eyes of others, she just walked lightly to her seat and sat down.
"Ouch~ow~"
Xie Tingxuan howled in pain, hugged his foot and fell to the ground, not understanding why it was so painful when Xie Qingli lightly touched his foot. They often played pranks like this in the academy, and it didn't hurt this much even if he was stepped on by a burly classmate!
Mrs. Xie suddenly raised her head and saw her most precious grandson sitting on the ground. She hurriedly asked, "Xuan'er, what happened to Xuan'er?"
She looked up at the maids standing around and angrily shouted, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you help the young master up?"
The maids rushed over to support Xie Tingxuan, but as soon as Xie Tingxuan's feet touched the ground, there was another burst of ghostly howling.
Old Madam Xie hurriedly said, "Hurry up and bring him over here for me to see!" The maids had no choice but to carry Xie Tingxuan to Old Madam Xie's couch.
Xie Tingxuan threw himself into Old Madam Xie's arms and cried loudly, "Grandma, wuwu, that bad woman kicked Xuan'er, and my foot hurts so much!"
Old Madam Xie hadn't seen what had just happened, but her heart ached to see her beloved child in such pain. She looked around and asked sternly, "Who was the blind person who kicked Xuan'er?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Xie Tingxuan raised his head from Madam Xie's arms, pointed at Xie Qingli, and said with a sob, "Grandma, it's her!"
Madam Xie's expression was sullen. She said in a cold voice, "Xie Qingli, what's going on? Why did you kick Xuan'er?"
Xie Tingxuan snuggled in Madam Xie's arms and looked at Xie Qingli complacently. This bitch actually dared to kick him. He would make her pay the price.
Xie Qingli stood up gracefully. She bowed slightly to Old Madam Xie and said softly, "Grandma, I don't know why Brother Xuan'er pointed at me. I just walked past him and didn't touch him. Many people must have seen it."
Xie Qingrong stood up first and said in a crisp voice, "Grandma, Rong'er just pulled Big Sister over here. Big Sister definitely didn't touch Brother Xuan'er. Rong'er can testify to that."
Madam Xie became suspicious. She looked up at the maids and asked sharply, "What did you see?"
The maids knelt hurriedly and said, "I only saw the young lady walking by normally, with her steps as usual, and she didn't make any moves to kick anyone."
Old Madam Xie looked at Xie Tingxuan in confusion. In her mind, although this grandson was a little spoiled, he would not lie. Could it be that he was slandering Xie Qingli this time?
Seeing this, Xie Qingqi hurriedly stood up and pointed at Xie Qingli and said, "Grandma, Qi'er can testify that she did kick Xuan'er..."
Xie Qingli looked at Xie Qingqi coldly and couldn't help but sneered, "Could it be that Sister Qi'er has opened her third eye? Sister Qi'er is sitting on the other side, how can she see us clearly?"
Xie Qingqi's breathing stagnated slightly. She almost forgot how powerful Xie Qingli's mouth was. Looking around, she suddenly looked at Xie Qingyao. Xie Qingyao must hate Xie Qingli more than she did, and she would definitely stand on her side!
Thinking of this, she said with certainty: "Sister Yao'er is sitting over there with you. Sister Yao'er must have seen it?!"
