Chapter 788 The Book of Heaven
Xu Yunjiao's child is gone.

It wasn't that they didn't disappear in the middle of the night, but they stayed up until breakfast.

Zhao Xiwei got out of the carriage when he got the sad news from his mother-in-law.

"God, I'm sorry to see you. It's a male fetus. It cried like a kitten and then... hey!" The woman babbled while leading the way, "Amitabha, my God! That's so white and tender. Tender, what a handsome boy, Amitabha..."

Zhao Xiwei listened without saying a word, raised his foot and stepped over the screen wall, and after a few steps, he saw a few people standing at the door of Chuihua.

It was Zhou's mother who brought a few maidservants out to greet her.

Zhao Xi was slightly surprised.

The mother-in-law whispered: "Miss San, it's noisy inside." Then she glanced at Xu Yuanmeng next to her, "Miss Biao, please persuade Madam Hou later, Madam Hou is very sad, please tell Madam Hou not to..."

She wanted to say something else, but Zhou's mother called "Lan Niang" sternly, and the old woman shut up resentfully.

Zhou's mother hurried up to greet her, changed her respectful attitude, and saluted with a low eyebrow: "Miss San, Cousin, Mrs. Hou is waiting."

Mrs. Hou is Xu Yunjiao's sister-in-law and Xu Yuanmeng's mother.

But this Mrs. Hou, Zhao Xiwei has never been in contact with her, and she doesn't know her at all, so what is there to meet?

Seeing Zhao Xiwei's puzzled expression, Zhou's mother explained again: "It's what the old lady and the eldest princess meant. Madam Hou broke a jade hairpin, and asked the third lady to find a new one and send it over first."

This is even more puzzling.

Visiting patients at home is such a thing, who cares about a hairpin?
Mother Zhou glanced at Xu Yuanmeng: "My cousin..."

Xu Yuanmeng is not very old, but he behaves like a lady from a famous family, so he immediately understands: "Sister Wei, the thing is like this..."

While speaking, he dragged Zhao Xiwei to the inner courtyard.

"My mother and aunt have some disagreements—" Xu Yuanmeng was very eloquent, and explained the matter clearly in a few words.

Madam Hou's hairpin was broken by Xu Yunjiao.

As for why it broke, Xu Yuanmeng said it was careless.

Originally, the relationship between the aunt and sister-in-law was not good, but Mrs. Hou took the initiative to come to the door this time, so she also had the intention of showing her favor. Why did Xu Yunjiao accidentally break the jade hairpin?

But thinking of Xu Yunjiao's temperament, Zhao Xiwei was not surprised, so he smiled and said with relief: "It's nothing, I happen to have several hairpins, and I haven't worn them very much. It's a pity to leave them alone. I will pick two and give them to you later." Madam Hou."

Xu Yuanmeng showed a grateful expression: "Sister Wei, thank you so much..." She hesitated to speak, "My mother and aunt have had a hard time in half their lives. If it was not for the sake of father, she would not want to come today. Xiangfu, I am ashamed at this moment, I am definitely not happy..."

Whether Mrs. Hou is happy or not, Zhao Xiwei doesn't care too much. She only cares about one thing: Why do you want to see her if you are unhappy?

Xu Yuanmeng hesitated: "Grandma meant it. Grandma said that you are the most respectable person in the entire Zhao family. You are smart, upright, and bright. Grandma said that only you can let my mother put down the grievances..."

The co-author is asking her to come forward and apologize instead of the Zhao family?

Zhao Xiwei couldn't laugh or cry for a moment: "Wouldn't it be more appropriate to let Zhao Chengyan go?"

The person was offended by Xu Yunjiao. Let Zhao Chengyan come forward to accompany the aunt instead of the mother.

Xu Yuanmeng shook his head like a rattle: "No, my mother doesn't like Sister Yan either."

"..." Zhao Xiwei was really curious, what kind of person is he who dares to confront Xu Yunjiao like this?
Then he asked again: "Why did Mrs. Hou make Xu Yunjiao unhappy?"

Soon Zhao Xiwei knew the answer.

Just stepped into the flower hall, and saw a noble lady sitting in the hall from a distance.

She was dressed in a crab-shell green uniform, covered with a light white gown, without any makeup, and looked as elegant as a female hermit deep in the mountains.

She was holding a small blue and white cup in one hand, her chin was slightly retracted, and her eyebrows were slightly drooping. Such an upright and polite demeanor had an aura of nobility hidden in it.

"Mother, I'm back." Xu Yuanmeng called softly.

Only then did Madam Hou raise her eyes lightly, her eyes swept slowly, and fell on Zhao Xiwei.

It stands to reason that it is very unruly to look at people without showing courtesy.

But on Mrs. Hou's body, all this is so natural.

Zhao Xi pursed his lips slightly and smiled, letting her look at him.

Madam Hou seemed very surprised by her reaction. She put down the tea in her hand, rolled up her sleeves and stood up, bowing her head in salute: "Princess."

He just yelled a princess, neither polite chat nor enthusiastic flattery.

This made Zhao Xiwei feel a little better.

He smiled and said: "I heard that Mrs. Hou accidentally broke a hairpin. I happen to have a few new white jade hairpins. I think they are the most suitable for Madam's suit. If Madam doesn't mind, I will ask the girls to get them. If Madam doesn't like it, then I won't force it."

Zhao Xiwei was too lazy to waste time on such things.

She didn't offend people, she was just expressing her position on behalf of the Zhao family, if Mrs. Hou insisted on holding on to it, it had nothing to do with her.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Hou was more straight-forward than her: "I have wronged you!" She poured a cup of tea with her own hands and pushed it in front of Zhao Xiwei, "In your capacity, it is already a great honor for you to come out and smooth things over for her It's gone! How could I be the kind of unreasonable person?"

Zhao Xi smiled slightly, and took a seat opposite her: "It's as long as Mrs. Hou doesn't dislike her."

Mrs. Hou looked at her intently, with complex lights flashing in her eyes. After a long time, she sighed: "I have heard the name of the princess for a long time, and I have long wanted to meet her with my own eyes, but I have never had the chance. Now I can sit on the table Tea, you have to give me the jade hairpin again, I am too happy, how can I dislike it? It’s just—”

She smiled, her attitude was no longer that alienated, "I came in a hurry, I didn't prepare anything good for you, I just brought an ordinary old thing, I hope Miss Wei will accept it."

Zhao Xiwei was startled again.

Wasn't it because Xu Yunjiao was offended that she came forward to persuade her?

Why did you specially bring her a meeting gift?

"This old thing is something I got by chance when I was in my boudoir, and it's not worth much to me." While speaking, Mrs. Hou took out a brocade box from her bosom, and gently put it on the table. , "But for you..."

She blinked, "Maybe, it's a priceless treasure."

Zhao Xi frowned slightly, looked at the brocade box, but did not pick it up: "What is this?"

Seeing that she was so vigilant, Madam Hou smiled: "It's just a book from heaven."

"The Heavenly Book?" Zhao Xiwei was even more surprised, why did you give her a scroll of the Heavenly Book?But looking at Madam Hou's expression, it didn't look like she was trying to harm her, so he couldn't help but asked again: "What did you write?"

Madam Hou laughed and said, "Since it's a heavenly book, how can I understand it?"

Seeing that Zhao Xiwei hadn't accepted it, she finally suppressed her smile, her eyes were a little sad, and she said softly: "This is the manuscript that Shen Yuqing left behind..."

****
After the physical state declines, the brain slows down, and often what was remembered in the last moment is forgotten in the next moment.Last year, the blood loss was too serious. I had blood collapse for dozens of days, and I took care of patients in the hospital. I endured it for a month. My body is still weak, and I don’t know what to eat to make it up.

What I have written so far has not met my previous quality standards.

But it's even worse if the update is interrupted all the time, so let's just make do with it during this period of time.

I am sorry again for not being of good quality and not giving readers a good reading experience.
