It was not the same in the high-class courtyard. The higher-ups had mothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, while there were countless juniors among the descendants and
concubines.
Every day, a trivial matter would cause a great disturbance.
His mother had been an ignorant young woman, and she had suffered for more than 20 years.
“Alright, go rest. When they found out about your cousin’s situation, there would still be trouble.” The first madam seemed to be in a good mood.
Zhou Weizong obediently bowed and left.
The first madam was right. The next day, the old madam sent someone to the Xie Residence to pick her up.
The first madam did not want to go. She said that she was ill and did not go out. The steward was sent instead as none of the people in the house wanted to go.
Xie Qiao had been busy for the past two days, but she still could not find the ghouls of the Baili family. She could not stay away from home all the time. This morning, she
took the time to go home. It was exactly the same time as the person sent by the Zhou family.
When the Xie family servants saw that she had returned, they were all extremely affectionate. It was as if they did not see the Zhou family’s horse carriage, and they directly
went up to welcome her.
“First Young Lady! You’re finally back. Master hasn’t been able to eat these days. He said that you weren’t home, so he doesn’t feel at ease in his heart!” They were quite
sweet with their words.
In reality, it was because the First Young Lady was not at home that Chun Er became a lot fiercer, and they did not dare to eat the food she made.
Chun Er’s cooking skills were good, so the kitchen would always ask her to help make some snacks. Everyone was secretly happy when she did that.
However, ever since the First Young Lady was not around, Chun Er’s looked more and more terrible day by day. She had not been in the kitchen for a long time, and she had
lost a lot of weight.
The steward of the Zhou family was stunned for a moment. He quickly went forward to greet Xie Qiao. “It’s First Young Lady Xie. It’s my pleasure to meet you. I am from the
Zhou family of Earl Fengming’s residence. Today, I specially came to invite Young Lady Yu home…”
“From that family?” Xie Qiao lightly replied, “Oh.”
Then, Xie Qiao ignored him and entered the door.
The steward of the Zhou family was stunned for a moment and was a little confused.
What was the meaning of this First Lady Xie? She should at least… respond to him?
When would this person come out? She did not even give him a message? Or he could go in and urge her…
However, this was not an ordinary young lady. He did not dare to express his dissatisfaction, so he could only wait outside.
Fortunately, not long after, the cousin came out.
She stood at the entrance of the Xie Residence with a straightforward expressio. She directly said, “I know that Grandmother Zhou dotes on me, but it’s also my fault that I
was terrible when I first came to the capital. I was dressed in tattered clothes and wanted to visit Grandmother Zhou, but I didn’t expect to be chased out. When I was tired
and hungry, it was thanks to the Xie family that they invited me to be the Second Young Lady’s teacher that I managed to survive.”
The steward was a little confused. “Um… We’ll talk about it when we get back?”
However, Yu Xian ignored him. “Yes, we’ll talk about it when we get back. These are the gifts that the Xie family has prepared for me. Please move them into the carriage.”
They were not valuable items, but they were all large items, piled into baskets and boxes.
They looked quite intimidating.
The steward only wanted to pick her up, so he did not think too much about it. He immediately moved the items into the carriage. Then, Yu Xian got into the carriage and
headed toward the Zhou Residence.
Xie Qiao watched her from the courtyard. She was not ina hurry. She even looked at her eldest brother, whom she had not seen for a long time, and said in surprise, “These
gifts were prepared by Eldest Brother? It’s been a long time. How did your brain suddenly come to life?”
Since they gave gifts to the Zhou family at the crowded place at the entrance, the Zhou family would not be able to really escort her back in the future.
In fact, if there was even a slightest rumor, the Zhou family would be talked behind their back for a while.
Moreover, what Yu Xian said at the beginning already made people think that the Zhou family was being dishonest. They even told others that in the capital city, Yu Xian
trusted the Xie family more and even asked the Xie family to prepare gifts…
“I’ve always been smart, but you’re stupid and can’t see it.” Xie Pinggang rolled his eyes at Xie Qiao, and then he became even more disdainful. “Did you not go to the
Fortune Pavilion to recuperate? Why do you look like… you haven’t gained any weight? Don’t you have any food there?”
Initially, she had gained a little bit of weight, but these few days, she was busy with the Baili family’s matters, so she had lost weight again.
She thought that she had a good rest last night, and that she looked good this morning, so she eagerly came over.
Who would have thought that her eldest brother would be so vicious..
