Noble Lady

If it was said that Old Madam Xue did not give any face to her eldest son and daughter-in-law, Xue Huai also did not give any face to her and Mr. Xue Erye.

Madam Xue's face turned green. "You, you are so disrespectful to your elders. How can you say that about your second uncle? He's worse than a three-year-old child. You might as well call him a fool!"

"This is what my grandmother said, not my grandson." Xue Huai was fearless.

Old Madam Xue was almost fainted from anger.

Mr. Xue was so angry that his face turned blue, but he couldn't refute. He couldn't say that he was beaten because he hid that woman and was discovered by Xue Heyan, right?

The child is still in their hands. Once he falls out, who knows how they will torture him!

Xue Chenyu quickly tried to smooth things over, "Grandma, Xiao Huai is young and naive, so he's a bit blunt. Grandma, you and Second Uncle are the elders, so I don't think you'd hold a grudge against a junior like Xiao Huai, would you?"

"That's right. Xiao Huai, this junior, is naive, but Grandmother and Second Uncle are not naive. They definitely won't argue with the junior over such a small matter."

"You...you are really a good daughter to your parents!" Old Madam Xue became even more angry.

It was just because Xue Chenyu's words touched her heart.

After hearing what Marquis Xue and Madam Xue said, Xue Chenyu finally remembered some things from her childhood.

At that time, Xue Huai had just learned to walk, and Xue Hou made a lot of toys for his daughter and son. Xue Chenyu was a few years older and loved her younger brother, so she gave many of the toys to her younger brother to play with.

Unexpectedly, when playing in the yard, one of the exquisitely crafted windmills caught the eye of Mr. Xue. Xue Huai was just learning to speak, so naturally he couldn't let go of the toy given by his sister and refused to give it to her. Mr. Xue, a child in his teens, actually started to snatch it away.

He also pushed Xue Huai, who had just learned to walk, to the ground, causing blood to ooze from his legs.

Xue Chenyu called for someone loudly. After seeing the doctor, he said that it was a good thing that she was wearing thick clothes in winter, otherwise she would have broken bones.

But Mr. Xue didn't even apologize, and said that he didn't push it on purpose. It was the boy's fault for being so blind and trying to snatch things from him.

Marquis Xue and Madam Xue both loved their children and were very angry about this.

In the end, when it came to Madam Xue's mouth, she just said lightly, "Although my son is of higher generation, he is still a child. You are the eldest brother and sister-in-law, the elders. Do you really want to argue with the younger generation?"

"He's young and naive, but aren't you both naive? You're arguing with the younger generation over such a small matter. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if the news gets out?"

Now, the words I said back then have turned into a boomerang and hit me back.

She didn't think she was wrong, she just felt that her granddaughter was not well taught and dared to disobey her.

However, Xue Chenyu didn't expect her to admit her mistake so easily. At most, he would just feel disgusted with her.

"Grandma, you're too kind. My granddaughter is definitely my parents' good daughter." Xue Chenyu smiled wryly, "Xiao Huai is also my parents' good son, just like my second uncle is your good son."

Old Madam Xue pointed at her with shaking fingers, "You, you..." She kept saying "you" for a long time but couldn't say a word.

"Grandma, please take care of yourself." Xue Chenyu hurriedly supported Madam Xue.

"Grandma, please take a seat. I have already asked the servants to prepare a large table of food. We will be able to eat soon."

"What kind of banquet is this? I..." Just as she was about to brush away Xue Chenyu's hand, Xue Luoyan came forward and supported her other side.

Xue Chenyu's arms were naturally light and fluffy, but Xue Luoyan was different, she was extremely strong.

Old Madam Xue's arms were hugged by her little granddaughter, and she felt like she was welded to a piece of iron or stone, unable to move.

"Grandma came to our house but refused to eat even a single meal. Wouldn't that make outsiders say that my parents and I, my siblings, are unfilial? Grandma wouldn't put us in such an unfair situation, would she?"

Old Madam Xue wanted to say no, but Xue Luoyan restrained her calmly. This power that she could not resist at all made her feel terrified.

Human beings are strange creatures. When faced with someone who is slightly stronger than themselves, they will feel jealous.

But if you are so strong that they cannot reach you, they will naturally be discouraged and feel fear.

at last.

Old Madam Xue was "obediently" led to the table by her granddaughter.

In such an occasion, Mrs. Xue should have sat in the main seat, and Marquis Xue and Madam Xue should have been the main guests. However, Marquis Xue really disliked her, and she also disliked everything about Marquis Xue and his wife.

So, the sisters Xue Chenyu and Xue Luoyan surrounded Old Madam Xue on the left and right.

He kept saying "Grandma, eat the food" on the left and "Enjoy your meal" on the right, and his chopsticks never stopped moving.

But for today's meal, Xue Chenyu had already instructed the kitchen, "The old lady cannot eat meat, fish, or greasy food. She must choose light and healthy food."

Of course, when she was at the table, Xue Chenyu also looked well-behaved.

"Grandma, I heard that you attach great importance to health preservation. When you were in your hometown of Liyang, you often used vegetarian dishes. Today's table was prepared specially for you after consulting the chef in Liyang."

There were more than a dozen dishes on the table, most of which were vegetables and tofu. There was not much meat. Even if there was, it was minced meat and diced meat. Master Xue's face was almost green with food.

Old Madam Xue was even more confused. She had been living frugally in Liyang Province for these years and had been exhausted from the long journey. She thought that she would be able to enjoy the delicacies of nature and seas when she arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, but she didn't expect to be tricked instead.

Instead of eating any delicacies, I ended up eating a stomach full of grass.

After the meal, some people could hardly hold back their laughter, while others could hardly hold back their anger.

But overall it is quite harmonious.

After the meal, Madam Xue was sent to Yongshou Hall, which was specially prepared for her, by the sisters Xue Chenyu and Xue Luoyan.

It is simple inside and out, extremely minimalist.

There was a table and two chairs in the main room, and a small plum vase the size of a palm was placed pretentiously on a sturdy antique shelf.

There was a corner table in the corner, with only an incense burner with auspicious animals on it. Two of the three walls were also empty. The only wall that was not so empty only had a painting of "Birthday Celebration".

According to the situation of Wu'an Marquis Mansion, even if it is not a white jade hall and gold horses, it should be exquisite and elegant in every detail.

But now the simplicity of Yongshou Hall is almost as bare as a bare house.

No, considering the financial situation of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, to say that they were penniless would be an understatement.

"I heard that Grandmother always advises her servants to be frugal and manage the household frugally, so I specially redecorated the Yongshou Hall for you. What do you think, Grandmother?"

What did Old Lady Xue think? Her face turned even greener. "I came all the way from my hometown in Liyang, and you let me live in a place like this?!"

"But this Yongshou Hall is decorated after my grandmother's home in Liyang. Didn't my grandmother always advocate thrift and frugality? Didn't she start with me?"

After saying this, Xue Chenyu quickly knelt down and said pitifully, "Granddaughter, you don't know that grandmother is only advocating frugality on the surface. I acted on my own initiative. I will have someone open the storehouse and tidy up Yongshou Hall again."

When Xue Luoyan saw her sister kneeling, she also knelt down quickly.

"Yes, grandmother, if you don't like the frugal Yongshou Hall here, we will immediately find someone to open the warehouse and make it magnificent for you."

"Don't be angry with your sister. She just wants to please you. She didn't mean to make you angry."

"You, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Old Madam Xue said angrily, "Who said I was just pretending? I was sincere and frugal!"

She probably lacked confidence, so what she said was particularly empty.

"Then, should we let the servants clean up again?" Xue Chenyu said with red eyes.

"No, no, needless!" Old Madam Xue gritted her teeth.

If she really asked someone to open the warehouse and take things out, outsiders would really say that the frugality she talked about every day was just superficial.

She had worked so hard to gain a good reputation, how could she let it go to waste?

Where she couldn't see, Xue Chenyu's mouth curled up.

She dared to do this because she was certain that Madam Xue would be angry but not speak out. After all, according to the information that Prince Cheng had found out, Madam Xue was famous for her frugality in her hometown of Liyang.

I can’t bear to eat, wear or use anything.

Gained a good reputation in the local area.

That is to say, the Marquis's Mansion would send people to deliver food, clothing, daily necessities and money in a grand manner during the holidays, otherwise outsiders would really think that Marquis Xue and Madam Xue had abandoned their old mother in their hometown and had no care for her.

People who seek fame will naturally be burdened by fame.

"Well, Grandma, you must be tired after the long journey. You should rest early. Your granddaughter won't disturb you."

"Granddaughter, take your leave."

Old Madam Xue was so angry that she gritted her teeth and waved her hands, wishing the two sisters would leave quickly.

Xue Luoyan: "My granddaughter is also leaving."
