After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes

After Xiangxiang and the others from the Feng family finished their meal, Old Master Feng called his son into his study to discuss something.

The children took their older brother to see their collection of bullet casings and various fun toys.

Xiangxiang entertained Jiang Xiuxi and Madam Feng in the living room, but she wasn't actually very familiar with them.

She used to be a concubine in the Feng family, and there was some distance between her and these two men.

Later, she was officially recognized as the wife, but she left the Feng family just two days after marrying Feng Changqing. So, Xiangxiang has never actually spent time alone with her mother-in-law, Madam Feng.

The three of them looked at each other, unsure of what to say. Then, Xiangxiang had a sudden inspiration and politely said to the old lady, "Mother, I remember we had some tea that a guest gave us. Shall I brew you and my cousin a couple of cups?"

The way Jiang Xiuxi called her "cousin" in Xiangxiang dialect almost made her smile crumble.

Jiang Xiuxi stared at Xiangxiang in surprise. How could she possibly call her that? She was so much older than Xiangxiang, and Xiangxiang was Feng Changqing's first wife.

Xiangxiang noticed Jiang Xiuxi's exaggerated movements and asked innocently, "Did I ask something wrong? Or does my cousin not like tea?"

The old lady glanced at her niece's fiery eyes, closed them briefly, and then said nonchalantly, "I'm used to drinking tea at home, Xiangxiang, go make a couple of cups! Your father and the others should be coming down soon."

"Okay, Mom, please wait a moment."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiangxiang ran away like a gust of wind.

The Feng family's ancestral home is in the south, so the whole family loves to drink tea. Feng Changqing developed the habit of drinking tea from a young age, so the family naturally had no shortage of tea and teaware.

After Xiangxiang left, Madam Feng held her niece's hand and patted her gently for a while, as if that would make her feel better.

Jiang Xiuxi was pampered since childhood and never suffered much hardship after getting married. However, in recent years, the Feng family dismissed all their servants, leaving only a homeless couple who stayed behind to help out under the guise of being relatives of the Feng family.

With fewer people in the family, everyone has to do everything themselves. Especially for Jiang Xiuxi, as the youngest member of the family, although others help with laundry and cooking, she will still lend a hand with whatever she can do herself.

As people get older, their hands become less delicate and smooth. The old lady looked at her niece's hands and couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. Thinking back to Xiangxiang, whom she had just seen, her spirit was worlds apart from her niece's.

There's nothing we can do. My niece has been married into the Feng family for ten years and hasn't gotten anything out of her, plus she's not getting pregnant.

Then look at Tong Xiangxiang. She's only been married into the Feng family for ten years, but she's already given birth to three sons and a daughter. Even if she hasn't done anything particularly meritorious, she's certainly put in a lot of effort. As her mother-in-law, I'm too embarrassed to say anything to her.

The old lady could only offer her niece some comfort with her eyes.

The old lady thought of her adorable grandchildren and couldn't let Xiuxi have any bad thoughts, so she started nagging again.

"Xiuxi, you should try to think more positively. No matter what, you are still the cousin of the Feng family. If you want to start over and find someone else, we will not object."

Jiang Xiuxi looked at her aunt's cautious manner, who just kept her head down and didn't say anything. What could she say?

Even if she finds another one, she's already this old. Can she find a man as young and as high-status as Feng Changqing?

If we set aside her conditions and look at other men, would men with good conditions even be interested in her?

Which man doesn't like young and beautiful women? She's about the same age as Feng Changqing, and by today's standards, she's already old enough to be a grandmother.

Xiangxiang brewed a pot of fragrant tea. Amidst the rising aroma, Feng Changqing descended the stairs and was chatting intimately with Madam Feng.

Since Feng Changqing and Tong Xiangxiang left the Feng family, the two elders of the Feng family have seen Feng Changqing very rarely, let alone Jiang Xiuxi.

Jiang Xiuxi glanced at her former bedmate. Now, he was as gentle as jade, exceptionally handsome, and his mature and steady demeanor added to Feng Changqing's charm.

He was dressed in a proper cadre uniform, his posture still upright like a pine tree, but a few strands of silver hair had quietly appeared among the wisps of hair around his ears.

Jiang Xiuxi clenched her teeth tightly, her hands on her knees clenching involuntarily. This outstanding man once belonged to her, so why should Tong Xiangxiang have him openly now?

"Old Chang, come quickly and help me serve tea and water to Dad, Mom, and... your cousin!" Xiangxiang's use of "cousin" was full of hidden meaning.

Feng Changqing, who hadn't taken Jiang Xiuxi seriously before, couldn't help but exchange a glance with Xiangxiang, asking with his eyes: Who upset you?

Xiangxiang raised an eyebrow and asked in return: What do you think?

Feng Changqing immediately understood, then pretended to be nonchalant, served his father tea, and the family chatted happily about their recent situations.

It wasn't until the break that Feng Changqing spoke.

“Our family is large, and we don’t have extra rooms for Comrade Jiang, so I just asked Tianming to book a room at the guesthouse. Tianming will come to pick up Comrade Jiang later.” Lin Tianming was the driver who picked up the Feng family during the day and was also Feng Changqing’s bodyguard.

Upon hearing her son's words, Madam Feng quickly retorted, "Oh dear, why go to such trouble? Just make room for Xiuxi."

They live in the house as a family, and it's not a joke to arrange for Xiuxi, a woman, to stay outside. Isn't that a clear sign that they don't like Xiuxi?

Madam Feng knew without a doubt that her son's actions were for her daughter-in-law's sake, and she knew her limits.

But since the Feng family decided to treat Xiuxi as their own daughter, they had to keep their word, lest her family say that they, as her aunt, were being unkind.

"It's not that we don't want you to stay, it's just that we don't have any rooms left. There are only two rooms left. Dad and Mom will have to stay in one, another one is full of clutter, and the other is where Chengxi lives. We really don't have any rooms. How about we let Chengxi stay with you two and give up his room?"

Upon hearing that his eldest grandson would suffer, Grandpa Feng objected, saying, "We're only staying here for a short time before going home. Chengxi will be living here from now on, so let's not keep moving around. Let's listen to Changqing."

The main thing is that during their time with their eldest son, Chengxi needs to cultivate a sense of belonging with his son, daughter-in-law, and younger siblings.

Chengxi has been separated from his son and daughter-in-law for so long, it's inevitable that they will feel a little estranged. After all, they, as his parents, didn't accompany him as he grew up, and they didn't spend much time together. So, when they first met and started communicating, they were bound to feel a little unfamiliar with each other.

Unlike the other three children, who have always spent time with their parents and are naturally much closer to them.

Seeing that her husband objected, the old lady remained silent and tacitly agreed.

Hearing the old man agree, Xiangxiang couldn't help but smile. No matter what, she just didn't like Jiang Xiuxi hanging around in front of her.
