This is all thanks to Third Lady Xiao. She told Aunty about the Chu family. When sister-in-law heard this, she went to look for my mother and then went to report to grandmother.”

Xie Wan looked at Wang Qiang with a reproachful expression.

“Is it because Third Lady didn’t tell sister-in-law, and you kept suffering in silence and endured them? The three of us grew up together, and sister-in-law and we are close friends. What do you take us for?”

Wang Qiong had a heavy heart to begin with. The Wang family had already been destroyed. What could she use to ask the Xie family to offend the Chu family for her alone?

Madam Wang had actually come to pick her up, which was out of her expectations. It was obvious that she was standing up for her. Otherwise, when the elders brought the younger generation over, they could just send a capable maid. There was no need for Madam Wang, who was in charge of the food, to come forward.

According to the servants, Madam Wang’s mouth almost made Madam Zhou vomit blood, forcing her to stand on the spot.

She did not even dare to imagine that the Xie family could be so tough.

She was the kind of person who dared to think and do things herself, but she would not ask others to treat her well. The Xie family had a large business and there were hundreds of descendants in total. Mother Xie wasn’t her grandmother by blood, but her great-aunt, a distant relative.

In the past, he relied on his marriage to the Wang family and the few young ladies were congenial.

The originally relaxed atmosphere instantly turned heavy.

” Seventh Madame.” Wang Qiong lowered her eyes.” You are not in my position…” It was too awkward. Even if I wanted to say it, I didn’t know how to say it.”

Xie Wan’s eyes were filled with tears. Ever since she knew that Wang Qiang was being bullied, she had been enduring it. Finally, there were only the two of them now. She could not hold it in anymore and hugged Wang Qiang as she cried.

Seeing her cry, Wang Qiong couldn’t bear it anymore, and the two of them hugged each other and cried.

In the end, the maid outside the house cried until she was mad. Only when the crying inside stopped did she get a basin of water for the two to wash up and dress up again.

“In the future, you can tell me anything.”Xie Wan grabbed Wang Qiang’s hand. “I’ll tell you everything too.”

Wang Qiang nodded. Perhaps after Xie Wan married someone and experienced something, she would change her mind.

However, there were some things that she hoped Xie Wan would not experience even if she did not understand them for the rest of her life.

Marriage seemed to be a barrier that separated the carefree days of youth from the worries and worries of adulthood.

Just like that, Wang Qiang stayed in the Xie family.

The next day, the eldest son of the Chu family’s eldest branch went straight to the door. He originally wanted to look for Xie Xian, but Xie Xian was left in the palace by Emperor Yong Ping to discuss matters and did not return to the residence. Mother Xie personally met him.

Originally, these aristocratic families in Jiankang City had interacted with each other and were no strangers.

Mother Xie had never liked this Eldest Young Master. His appearance could be considered handsome, but he had a pair of peach blossom eyes that drifted around, making him look frivolous.

It has been a while since I came to greet you.”

Chu Dalang did not expect Mother Xie to personally meet him. He thought that Xie Xian was not around and would at most meet Madam Wang. He did not expect the Xie family’s Matriarch to appear.

Did he have such a big face?

But who was he?

What kind of person and what kind of world had he not seen? Although he was panicking in his heart, he still looked at ease on the surface and laughed cheerfully,”Grand Madam is still so energetic and in high spirits.”

Mother Xie’s smile disappeared.

“Dalang.”

“Yes.”

“Why did you come?” Mother Xie asked.

Chu Dalang said,”Yesterday, the Grand Madame brought Third Sister-in-law to the residence for a short stay…” Mother is sick and Third Sister-in-law didn’t see her before she left. She missed her so she sent me to ask today. I don’t know when she will be staying for a while so that Mother can have a better idea.”

Mother Xie raised her eyebrows. This kid was just pretending to be ignorant. Your mother is sick and didn’t come out to meet the guests. Instead, she sent Dalang’s wife to see your third aunt.”

Mother Xie placed the teacup on the table and stared at Chu Dalang with her drooping triangular eyes.”Originally, as an outsider, I shouldn’t say much about the Chu family, but… Since your wife’s health is not good, don’t force yourself. If you can’t manage the family and can’t receive guests, don’t you have other wives? There are other young ladies at home, so why bother your wife? She just sat there and said a few words before leaving.”

Our Xie and Chu families are good friends, but your third aunt is an elder after all. If people spread the news that she was left there, I don’t know if they say that the Chu family has no upbringing or that the Chu and Xie families are not on good terms.”

“Do you think so?”

Chu Dalang’s face turned red with embarrassment.

He knew very well what was going on. When he returned to the Chu family yesterday, he had quarreled with the Zhou Corporation. The family was in an uproar. Whoever she disliked or wanted to bully, that was all her own business. However, the Xie family had sent Madam Wang, who was in charge of the food, to personally pick her up, and Madam Zhou still dared to ignore her. This was clearly not putting the Xie family in her eyes.

Although Madam Wang’s surname was Wang, her current husband’s surname was Xie. She could not be manipulated by her.

Although the Chu family was not afraid of the Xie family, there was really no need to go against the Xie family over such trivial matters. It was not worth it.

Whether it was taking sides or a dispute in the Imperial Court, no one was afraid of anyone if they fell out. No matter how much Xie Xian was favored by the Emperor, he could not support the entire Imperial Court by himself. The Emperor also needed the support of other aristocratic families. The Chu family had been an aristocratic family for more than a hundred years. Even though the successive emperors of Daliang had been weakening the power of the aristocratic families, and there were indeed some aristocratic families that had fallen, such as the Wang family that had completely declined and had a bad ending, the Chu family still had its roots.

The Chu and Xie families had been friends for many years. It was impossible for them to offend the Xie family just because of the Zhou family.

The Xie family had indeed taken her away, but the Chu family couldn’t just not ask, especially when Madam Zhou had thrown a tantrum at Madam Wang. If the Chu family didn’t step in, they would probably be estranged from the Xie family.

Chu Dalang only wanted to take care of each other’s face and smooth this matter over. He did not expect Mother Xie to be so rude to him and pick a fight in front of him.

“The Zhou Consortium…”This person just likes to show off,” Chu Dalang said in a deep voice. She could only bear the responsibility of the Zhou Corporation herself. “Grand Furen should have heard the rumors in the city. The Zhou family has not been peaceful recently. She has been busy on both sides and can’t take care of it. Her body can’t hold on anymore…He really didn’t mean to slight Third Aunt. In a while, in a while, I’ll personally go to Third Aunt to apologize. Don’t let Third Aunt take it to heart. It won’t be good if there’s a misunderstanding.”

Mother Xie looked at him indifferently.

Someone had to be willing to make it up for him. Did she look like she wanted to make it up for him?

“Maybe you don’t know much about the matter at the back of the house.

Madam Zhou relied on the fact that she was in charge of the food and treated Fifteen Niangs harshly. She did not even let go of the young children and connived at her son to push Ah An into the pool.”

Your Chu family might think that this is a small matter, but… The Wang family had fallen, but Aunt Fifteen’s maternal family was still around..”
