Xie Xian said it was easy to listen to her and see if she needed any help. Could it be that he meant that this matter was not over yet and there might be more twists and turns?

Or perhaps, he had not told her about it despite the twists and turns?

It was just that she had only been married for two days, so it was really inconvenient for her to return to the Xiao family. If word got out, it would seem that the Xie family had embarrassed her, and she could not stay for two days and ran to her mother’s house.

Xiao Baoxin changed his clothes and rushed to Yi An Hall without even changing his makeup.

As expected, Mother Xie had brought the entire family to chat. She was clearly waiting for her.

When Xiao Baoxin arrived, Mother Xie called for the banquet to begin.

Because it was between breakfast and lunch, the dishes were more sumptuous than in the morning, especially since it was Xiao Baoxin’s first time eating with everyone after marrying into the family. A total of 24 hot and cold dishes were served. The old and new dishes alternated before they were finished, and another dish was served to make up for it.

“.. This is abalone, a specialty from the north. It’s priceless in Daliang. One piece costs thousands of yuan. Sister-in-law, try it. Grandmother’s kitchen is the best at making abalone. It’s very delicious.”Xie Shan smiled.

Huilan was the one serving the dish. When she heard Xie Shan’s words, she quickly glanced at Mother Xie and quickly gave Xiao Baoxin a piece of abalone.

Xiao Baoxin ate without any burden.

The aristocratic life was extravagant and shocking. This thing was indeed priceless. It could not be bought whenever one wanted to eat it. The Xiao family was also a wealthy family. She had only eaten once or twice, unlike the Xie family who took out a large plate at any time.

However, she didn’t think that Xie Shan was letting her off with good intentions. She was just saying that she was ignorant.

Without even batting an eyelid, he chewed and swallowed it slowly.

Xie Chan and Xie Juan looked at each other. When had they ever seen Xiao Baoxin give in to someone? This was the first time.

“If sister-in-law likes it, give sister-in-law more.”Xie Shan said.

Madam Wang glanced at Mother Xie. Seeing that Mother Xie did not say anything, she followed her advice and did not reprimand her.

Ever since Xiao Baoxin married into the Xie family, he had been very appropriate in terms of etiquette and dining etiquette. It was likely that he had learned it carefully. He wasn’t as reckless as the rumors said. He was still scheming.

“Sister-in-law, is it delicious?” Xie Chan asked, ignoring Xie Juan’s kick under the table. “Why are you only focused on eating?”

Xiao Baoxin put down the chopsticks in his hand and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. He then smiled and said,”I don’t talk when I eat, and I don’t talk when I sleep. It’s not that I’m only focused on eating. It’s just that it’s not convenient for me to chat with Second Mother and Fourth Mother during the meal…I can answer Fourth Mother now, it tastes very good. I had eaten it at my parents ‘house, but the chef’s craftsmanship was not as good as the chef at my grandmother’s place.”

Mother Xie pursed her lips and laughed. All Lang’s wife really didn’t take any losses.

He spat out as much as he ate without hiding anything.

She even despised her family background for not being prominent and had no rules. Wasn’t she being humiliated now?

These words made the young ladies of the Xie family blush, holding back their anger, but they did not know how to retort. The main thing was that these words were heart-wrenching. This was how every family was taught.

Did she need to gossip?!

“We’re just thinking that sister-in-law hasn’t eaten this before, so we’re anxious to let sister-in-law try it. I was being too kind.” Xie Shan snorted.

Xie Wan had also finished eating at this time. She smiled and said,”Second Mother has good intentions, my sister-in-law knows. You have good intentions, and we accept it. Why are you angry after accepting your good intentions? Don’t be angry. Don’t you usually like to eat abalone? This time, you only care about sister-in-law. You should eat less, right?”

Xie Shan’s heart ached. Yes, she only cared about herself and Xiao Baoxin. She didn’t even take a few bites!

Moreover, it wasn’t something that could be eaten just because they wanted to in the Xie family. It was mainly at Grandmother’s place. She would only cook it every other day and call everyone over to eat. In Daliang, abalone was precious and could not be eaten every meal. A family of dozens of people could not afford to eat it every day.

He made this meal today because he thought highly of Xiao Baoxin.

How could she feel at ease?

“It’s so lively when a family sits together to eat.”Mother Xie chuckled.” All of you have the temperament of a child. You’re really innocent.” Ah Lang’s wife is a newlywed, and you sisters have also reached the age of marriage. Today, you’re sitting together and teasing each other. I don’t know when you’ll gather together again in the future.”

Mother Xie sighed as if she was reminiscing about the past.

In the future, they would know that these small estrangement and small fights between their sisters were just small embellishments in their long lives. They were complicated but full of colors and were not worth worrying about.

He might even miss it.

Therefore, regardless of whether the servant girls at home were bickering or throwing tantrums, Mother Xie rarely disciplined them harshly. She adopted the principle of letting sheep eat grass. If she did not make a big mistake within the rules, she would muddle along. He was not as strict as he was to his son and daughter when he was young. It was also because he was old and had seen and experienced more. He had let it go.

After the meal, he asked the maids to remove the food.

Seeing that everyone was gathered together, Mother Xie suggested that they go for a stroll in the garden.

Mother Xie pulled Xiao Baoxin to the front and pointed at the flowers and talked about the grass. It could be seen that Mother Xie had a deep understanding of these flowers and plants.

“.. As people got older, there were fewer and fewer people to talk to. When they had nothing to do, they would read books and plant flowers. Look at the peonies in Yi An Hall. I planted them myself.”

It was only then that Mother Xie remembered and asked,

“Just now I heard your mother-in-law ask about All Xian. Did you go out yesterday for urgent matters?”

Xiao Baoxin nodded.” I heard that he was called out by the palace. It was already the second watch when he came back. 1 saw that he was tired, so I didn’t ask.”

Xie Xian had asked her to cover it up for her sake. Her own brother had asked someone to arrange for her to be in a messy mess with the little lady of the Xu residence. She could not say this.

This matter could not be hidden. It would spread sooner or later, but it could not be said from her mouth.

Mother Xie didn’t suspect anything and only sighed.

The Emperor was relying more and more heavily on Xie Xian, but it was not necessarily a good thing. Especially in the current situation, the two branches of the Xie family supported the two princes. How could outsiders not care? They could say that they were speculating, but they were afraid that in the end, both sides would not end up well.

However, Xie Xian was the head of the family, and Second Xie was the Crown Prince’s subordinate. She could not persuade either of them, nor could she persuade them.

She was really unwilling for Xie Xian to get involved. Whoever picked on the mess of the Imperial Family would be stained with a stench.

Mother Xie’s visit to the park was fake. In fact, it was to give Xiao Baoxin face. The newly married Xie family was just for everyone to have fun. They would gather together to chat and laugh, so as to avoid awkwardness in the future.

However, she didn’t have the strength to do so. After walking around twice, she went back to Yi An Hall to rest. She told them to go to dinner by themselves and didn’t need to come to her place.

Xie Wan did not go to Rong An Hall after receiving Madam Yuan’s instructions. Xiao Baoxin was worried about his paternal family and could not sit or lie down in the house. He only waited until the afternoon when Xie Xian returned to the residence. His face was slightly red and his body was stained with a faint smell of alcohol..
