With just one sentence, everyone in the room who was so shocked that their buttocks had not yet sat down were even more uneasy! Everyone reminded themselves in their hearts that they must be cautious when they speak today, otherwise they will become a victim of the old lady's anger if they are not careful!

Xia Xue'er lifted the teacup and slapped the leaf foam with the lid of the cup, seemingly careless, but in fact, the two beautiful eyes were observing the expressions of everyone in the room with interest.

The old lady sat upright in the hall, one hand on the small table, the other in front of the lower abdomen, the trace of the square scarf between her two fingers had been rubbed and wrinkled, and her face was an unkind smile that could not be shaken by a thousand years of thunder, and only a pair of eyes full of resentment. This is also normal, she and her son were forced to separate their families back then, and to put it mildly, it is called being swept away. Over the years, his son has become popular step by step in front of the emperor, from a general who was almost belittled at the beginning to a famous Marquis of An Guo today, how much suffering he has suffered and how many sins he has suffered, only the two of them know it.

For decades, the face of the big house falling into the well has always been up and down in her mind when she fell, how can she forget?! Wu suddenly sent a wedding card, making it clear that she wanted to slap her, but her attitude was still so arrogant, and she even named her daughter-in-law to attend, and what kind of status did she have as a mother-in-law! There is not only resentment in her heart, but also sourness, she is not dead yet, when did the family members of Anguohou Mansion become Zhao Yulan and Xia Xue'er!

Mrs. Xia sat dignifiedly, her eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, and her face was even more light and breezy, and her heart, which had already been silent, did not cause the slightest ripple because of the old lady's words. For her, it doesn't matter much whether she goes or doesn't go. She is not only Xia Qingxuan's wife, but also the daughter of the Zhao family in Jiangnan, and she is also the emperor's royal wife, her identity is on par with the old lady of the Xia family's big house, it is not rude to go, and she is not afraid of being embarrassed if she goes, of course, someone must dare to embarrass her!

Several aunts also knew what to expect, and they all shut up, only looking for things to do by themselves, either drinking tea and eating, or in a daze, and some bowed their heads to study the embroidery of the cuffs. There is only one person who is not very gregarious, and that is Aunt Shen!

On weekdays, the Shen family is the best at looking at the old lady's face, but today it seems that he has taken the wrong medicine, and he seems to be very excited. Xia Xue'er looked at her as if she had something to say, probably thinking about how to speak, but her cheeks were flushed, and she couldn't stop looking up at the hall while biting her lip.

The old lady finally noticed the restless concubine sitting at the very end, frowned, and asked, "What?" Do you have something to say? ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone in the room was a little confused, and they all wondered which one of them would hit the muzzle of the gun by himself. But seeing Shen standing up, he bowed to the Buddha in the court, and replied with a smile: "The concubine thinks that since the two families are in the same line, they should live in harmony. ”

The more the old lady listened to this, the more angry she became, how could a concubine be qualified to teach her mother-in-law a lesson, and she said it so justifiably? ! The Shen family is worthy of being just a small jasper, in the end, it is a failure of upbringing! However, the Shen family didn't know how to stop in moderation, and became more and more excited.

"If the lady doesn't want to go, the concubine is willing to do it for her, so that she can send the wedding blessing to the prince of the Hou Mansion! In this way, the two families can also turn their rivalry into jade silk, isn't it a happy thing! ”

When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to come out, and more people were waiting to see her jokes than sweating for Shen!

Xia Xue'er first glanced at Xia Qiaoyun, who was sitting next to Shen and didn't speak, and had a trace of doubt in her heart, and then looked at the old lady with a playful face, only to see the muscles on her face twitching, and a pair of eyes as if they were going to eat people, staring viciously at the smiling Shen in the hall.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and asked, "You mean to go to the banquet for reason, and if you don't go, we are stingy?" ”

Shen's body was shocked, but he still explained stubbornly: "The concubine definitely doesn't mean this, just take a step back and open the sky, the concubine is also for the sake of the century-old reputation of the house, if it is ......"

Xia Qiaoyun was still unmoved, only wrapped his two hands around the square scarf in his hand.

"Bang!" The old lady finally couldn't bear it anymore, and before Shen finished speaking, she picked up the teacup on the table and slapped it down, "Since you are so understanding, then go and be her slave!" ”

Poor Shen was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, and he didn't dare to say anything, but he was afraid that it would be wrong to say too much. Xia Qiaoyun also "hissed" and tore the silk scarf in his hand in half, poor square scarf.

Xia Xue'er laughed coldly, pity her for being so stupid! Although the two rooms of the Xia family's big house are in the same vein, they have not been in contact with each other for many years, which is a well-known thing in the world. The emperor gave Xia Qingxuan the title, didn't he acquiesce in the development of the Xia family into two families of the same sex and different lives? ! And she also keeps saying "one lineage", looking at the past and present, where is there a vein where there are two Hou masters? !

What can be thought of after a little thought, the Shen family has been in the Xia Mansion for so many years and still can't see through it? It's really not as good as her, an outsider who has only been here for less than a year!

On behalf of Mrs. Xia to attend the wedding banquet, she really dared to say this. What is Mrs. Xia's identity? What is she? A concubine with a humble status, her mother's family is not a big family that has been famous for a hundred years, and she dares to speak out so loudly! Didn't the people in the big house send invitations to make it clear that they want to tie up this younger brother who has already been swept out of the house by themselves, and the people who came also named "Mrs. and her beloved daughter to attend", and they fancy Mrs. Xia's identity, Mrs. Xia went, that was the icing on the cake, what is it that Shen Shi went? Downgraded to the truth, it seems that there are no rules in the Marquis of Anguo's mansion! She is good, not only did she not see the old lady's thoughts, but she also blamed her mother-in-law in public.

"Seeing that you have been idle recently, instead of thinking nonsense, it is better to go to the Buddha Hall to chant for the deceased old lady for half a month!"

Shen was stunned directly after hearing this, although his eyes were full of tears, he never dared to cry out for a while, so he only deducted his head stupidly and said, "Concubine...... Commanded. Immediately afterwards, he was carried out of the Livable Pavilion by the maid and grandmother. But Xia Qiaoyun just sat on the chair and watched her mother being dragged out of the door by her subordinates, neither pleading nor going with her.

After putting aside about half a stick of incense, the old lady glanced at everyone in the room, and finally fell on her daughter-in-law, who had never said a word from beginning to end, extremely impatient, but still had to ask kindly: "What does Yulan think about this?" ”
