Chapter 172: It's a bit like a house fight
After being lectured by Marquis Dingyuan, Old Madam Xie stopped making trouble.
Did she realize her mistake?
Apparently, no.
The family cheered up and celebrated New Year's Eve, and was busy again on the first day of the new year. And early in the morning of the second day, she started to make trouble again.
He ordered the old maid to go to the Mu Mansion to pick someone up, and specifically told her: "You don't need to inform the old marquis about this matter. You don't need to see Old Madam Mu when you go to the Mu Mansion. Go directly to find the son-in-law."
It is obviously wrong to say that Old Madam Xie is brainless. She is very smart in this matter. She knows that Mu Sheng, as a junior, cannot refute her, and Yun Xi, as a stepmother, cannot stop her from taking the child. She is determined to take this child!
When Yun Xi learned about these things through the system, she was completely shocked!
She said to the system: "Is Madam Xie a toad that has turned into a spirit? Can her behavior bring me any substantial harm? No way! She is like a toad lying on the back of my foot, not biting but annoying."
The system kept nodding, saying, "Marquis Dingyuan has spent his whole life with her. How amazing!"
Yun Xi: "...This isn't worthy of praise..."
The system disagreed with her: "Why is it not worthy? Dingyuan Hou is a native of the ancient world. It is normal for men in this world to have three wives and four concubines. Many ordinary people with small property have concubines. Look at Dingyuan Hou again. He is in a high position, but facing such a wife, he has managed not to divorce her, not to take concubines, and not to have a concubine. He has truly achieved a lifelong couple. He can also talk to her about reason and teach her how to be a good wife of the marquis. How can it not be worthy of praise?"
Yun Xi was strangely persuaded by him.
But, she added, "It's a pity that his teaching was unsuccessful. After a lifetime of hard work, isn't Old Madam Xie still the same? No, maybe Old Madam Xie has advantages that we haven't discovered! We have to observe her more and can't sentence her to death based on preconceived ideas."
She doesn't believe that there is love without reason in the world. The so-called love at first sight is just a matter of attraction. If you want to maintain it for a long time, it still depends on the efforts of both parties.
Is there any relationship that can maintain itself and function well without efforts from both parties?
Mrs. Xie's plan was good. In fact, if she had gone directly to Mu Sheng and Yun Xi, they would not have stopped her from picking up the child. However, the old nanny she sent was a sensible person and did not follow her request.
Go directly to Mu Sheng and Yun Xi. As the younger generations, it would be difficult for them to refuse, but they certainly wouldn't be able to swallow this humiliation. In the long run, it would not be conducive to the Mu and Xie families maintaining friendly relations.
So, she went against Madam Xie's wishes and went directly to Madam Mu.
After returning, he told Madam Xie: "As soon as I entered the Mu Mansion, the news somehow reached the old lady. The old lady sent someone to call me over, and I had to go. So..."
The rest is up to you to imagine.
Madam Xie was so angry that she fell backwards!
"She won't let him go?"
"No, she said she would personally send someone over to chat with you and ask you what the rules are for New Year greetings after the New Year. Does what she said before still count? Madam Mu said that New Year greetings on the third day of the New Year were agreed upon. Is it the idea of the Marquis? If the Marquis regrets and changes his mind, he should have told you in advance. There is no reason to block you at the door so early in the morning."
She couldn't repeat what Old Madam Mu said about her not living till tomorrow, so she could only make up her own story.
Click!
Mrs. Xie broke a teacup.
"Too deceiving!"
The old lady lowered her head and rolled her eyes. "Is this talking about you? You keep fighting after repeated failures! Since the young lady married into the Mu family, how many times have you and Old Madam Mu tried to break up? Which time did you succeed? Why are you so persistent? Let it go when it's time to let it go! Why are you fighting with others? They didn't provoke you or provoke you!
The old nanny's surname is Zhang. She was bought from outside after Madam Xie married into the Marquis' Mansion. But in fact, she was placed here by Madam Xie and was trained by her. She is very shrewd.
On the surface, she is the old lady's person, but in fact, she is the old lady's person. She is loyal to the interests of the marquis's mansion, but not to old lady Xie.
But she had nothing to feel guilty about. In essence, she was not betraying Old Madam Xie. After all, even she couldn't stand what the old lady did. She was just causing trouble for the Marquis and the Crown Prince!
When she first came here, Old Madam Xie was still Madam Xie. She accompanied her all the way and gave her advice in many ways, but she really didn't listen at all. Or rather, she listened, but she just wouldn't change!
When Yun Xi and the system saw this, they almost died of laughter at the old lady’s expression of despair.
Old Madam Xie was furious. She was really unable to breathe out. After taking a deep breath, she instantly felt chest tightness, abdominal distension, and headache. She leaned on the couch with an ugly expression.
Xie Lang was going to accompany Cui back to her parents' home. When he came to say goodbye to her before leaving, he saw the broken porcelain pieces on the ground that had not been cleaned up in time.
The couple's hearts immediately skipped a beat. What happened this early in the morning?
Xie Lang asked cautiously: "Mother, who made you angry?"
The old lady covered her chest and said weakly, "Nothing, my hand slipped accidentally."
After all, she was aware of what was going on. She knew that what she had done this morning was not something that could be made public, and she couldn't tell her son and daughter-in-law about it.
Xie Lang and his wife both breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace. No matter whether it was really okay or not, since their mother said so, they would take it seriously.
Cui asked, "Mother, should we ask the doctor to come and take a look?"
Old Madam Xie was not so kind to her daughter-in-law. She said impatiently, "Why call me a doctor in the first month of the year? Isn't it unlucky?"
Ms. Cui: "..."
Xie Lang quickly said, "Since mother is fine, we will leave first and come back to see you in the afternoon."
But he was still a little worried, so before leaving, he told Aunt Zhang, "Go and invite father over. Mother is not feeling well, and I think she will feel much better if father can comfort her a few times."
Whoever owns his wife should take care of her. Dad, don’t blame your son!
Cui almost laughed out loud.
Nanny Zhang ran away in a flash. Now that the prince has spoken, she has to act quickly!
Old Madam Xie raised her hand to try to stop her, but she found that Nanny Zhang ran away so fast that she disappeared out of sight.
Her head suddenly hurt even more.
She had gone to the Mu Mansion to pick someone up without the Marquis's knowledge, and now that the person hadn't been picked up, she felt even more embarrassed. She just wanted to keep the matter a secret and not let anyone know.
But Nanny Zhang thought differently from her. It was impossible to hide it. The son-in-law would come tomorrow and would definitely bring up the matter. Instead of letting the Marquis be at a loss when the time comes, it would be better to let him know now.
