Xiao Baoxin’s face was flushed red, and he wished that he could find a hole in the ground and hide in it.
What’s wrong? She only ate a few green plum fruits and didn’t eat the Hu Bing that she liked before, yet she became the center of attention. Especially when Xie Xian sent someone over to inquire, she felt even more ashamed.
“You… Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Mrs. Yuan asked gently. She looked at Xiao Baoxin with eyes full of tears, so gentle that it made people panic.
Xiao Baoxin quickly shook his head.” No, really.””
“If you feel uncomfortable, just say it.”
” It’s nothing. Tell Ah Lang not to worry. It’s his second aunt and Bao Xin who are joking.” Yuan Huiren sent Qing Feng away and said,””Stop fooling around. Today is a welcome party for Provincial Governor Xiao and Ah Ning. Don’t just joke around and neglect our distinguished guests.”
Mother Xie also smiled and said,” Hurry up and eat. The second daughter-in-law has a happy occasion at home. Everyone is happy.””
Madam Cai was amused by his words.” Mother knows how to stand up to me. 1 respect Mother.”
“F * ck, you’ve been drinking plain water all this time. What are you going to use to toast me?”Mother Xie scolded.
Madam Cai only chuckled, but Xie Wan was smart.”Then let Second Shen save it first. After giving birth to the baby, we will settle it with Grandmother.”
Everyone burst into laughter, and the awkwardness from before was lifted. They ate, drank, and chatted. Even though the young ladies would sometimes pinch each other like black-eyed chickens in their own family, there were outsiders around, and they were also Grandmother’s distinguished guests. None of the young ladies dared to provoke them. They were all enthusiastic, and it looked like a big family full of enthusiasm.
It was just that Xiao Baoxin’s appetite didn’t give her face. She should have felt better after the Hu Bing was served.
However, she didn’t know if it was a psychological effect. Whatever she ate, she would feel disgusted. She couldn’t smell it anymore. She was also afraid that her performance would be too obvious, and she would be the center of attention. She barely managed to hold two chopsticks and really couldn’t eat anything. Even drinking water would make her head up.
Xiao Ning was thoughtful. The two of them were close to each other. Seeing that Xiao Baoxin didn’t have much appetite and that she had a few green plums in front of her, she handed them over under the table.
Xiao Baoxin bared his teeth and smiled. She wanted to eat it, but she was afraid that she would become the center of attention again.
However, if she didn’t eat, her stomach would feel uncomfortable.
Xiao Ning reacted. She was afraid of attracting attention, so she also picked up the green plum in front of her and ate it with Xiao Baoxin. However, she really couldn’t eat such sour food. She endured it and ate it, but the expression on her face was naturally not good.
With this sense of loyalty, Xiao Baoxin had no choice but to eat. Even if there were already people looking at her, she still braced herself and ate it.
Her stomach was comfortable, but her face was burning.
The meal was not as good as expected – – of course, it was Xiao Baoxin. The others were happy, leaving the men to continue in the hall. Mother Xie brought a large group of people to the main room in the east, which was her favorite room.
“.. It’s rare for you to come to Jiankang. It’s the first time for your grandmother to see you. This time, you must stay here for a long time to accompany this old woman. Besides, there are many sisters at home. You guys are companions.”
Mother Xie called Xiao Ning to her side and held her hand affectionately.
“Bao Xin has already cleaned up the Graceful Cloud Pavilion for you. It’s close to your sisters, so it’s convenient for you to come and go. If you lack anything, tell your third aunt and let her buy it for you. I saw that you were a straightforward person, so I let go and stayed.”
“Yeah, if Biao Younger Sister Ning doesn’t find me vulgar, I’ll play with you too.”Xiao Baoxin had a good impression of Xiao Ning because of the friendship between the two of them.
At the very least, he had a sense of loyalty.
“It’s good that sister-in-law doesn’t find me vulgar,” Xiao Ning said with a smile. It was my first time in Jiankang and 1 had never seen the world. It was the first time 1 saw a beauty like my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law was like an immortal. If you call this vulgar, 1 have no place to look at her.”
Xie Shan almost vomited the food she had eaten last night. Xiao Baoxin was an immortal, and Xiao Ning was probably as ignorant as she said.
Was there a god who could punch someone?!
However, recently, Third Master Xie had a big scandal. He was dismissed from his official position and was idle at home. She was not as arrogant as before and restrained her temper. Although she could not help but roll her eyes, she still held back her words.
What could she do? If her father was not strong enough, she could not be high-profile.
She had been worrying about a lot of things recently. Fan Fourth Lady had never asked her out to play. This was something that had never happened before. She was a little flustered. Xiao Baoxin was obviously not enough for her, so she let her be arrogant.
Mother Xie asked Xiao Ning about her living habits in Shu, and Xiao Ning answered them one by one.
She lost her mother at the age of n, and only had a filial period at the beginning of the year. In recent years, Provincial Governor Xiao had not remarried. He was also a big-hearted person. He handed over the huge family business to Xiao Ning. Although it was chaotic at first, after a long time, she managed it in an orderly manner.
Everyone sighed when they heard this. It was difficult for a child without a mother.
Xiao Baoxin wanted to say something, but she felt disgusted when the words reached her mouth. Her stomach surged up, and she subconsciously covered her mouth, thinking that she could not vomit on the spot.
Then, she became the center of attention again.
Lady Cai smacked her lips and didn’t say anything. Xiao Shan, on the other hand, couldn’t take it anymore. She was eating snacks.
“Sister-in-law, did you eat too much?”
Xiao Baoxin gritted her teeth and didn’t retort. She was so disgusted that she didn’t have the mood to retort.
Xie Shan couldn’t be high-profile, and she couldn’t keep a low profile. She was always the center of attention.
Madam Madam Wang glared at her daughter and said with a smile,” You don’t understand. How is it eating too much? Bao Xin didn’t even eat a few mouthfuls at the banquet.”
“Mother, quickly call a doctor over to feel her pulse. 1 think what Second Sister-in-lawsaid is reasonable.”
“Ning isn’t an outsider. It’s better if this matter is confirmed as soon as possible. Otherwise, the young couple won’t know and will hurt the child again.”
His words had a deep meaning. Mother Xie nodded. Fler words were rough, but the truth was not. If she had a great-grandson, she would give way to his great-grandson.
“Yes, Ning is family. We don’t have to be restrained. Let’s get a doctor to take a look.”Mrs. Cai agreed.
Mother Xie was no longer tense. She quickly asked Madam Wang to invite the doctor over. After that, the topic revolved around her great-grandson.
In terms of great-grandchildren, Twelfth Mother Wang had given birth to the first person in the fourth generation of the Xie family. However, the father of the child did not grow up and went out to play when he grew up. The second branch was originally a concubine’s son and did not win Mother Xie’s favor.
Xie Xian was different. He was the flesh on Mother Xie’s heart. Now that he had a legitimate grandson, it was obviously different. This was Mother Xie’s legitimate great-grandson. His mentality was different. Just thinking about it made Mother Xie’s face turn red with excitement. She was even more excited than when she had a biological son back then.
Xiao Baoxin even wanted to die to atone for his sins. If this was a misunderstanding, she would feel sorry for the great madam’s excitement.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment..
