Sir, my wife is pretending to be innocent again

Chapter 566 Finale ()
Xuan'er spotted Hu running out, and subconsciously looked around to see if there was anyone else present. Then she coaxed and tricked her into taking her back to the small Buddhist temple, "Is mother fully recovered?"

"Can't you see if I'm okay?"

"What is the banquet for today?"

Xuan'er was a little scared of her eyes, but she had learned some skills after following her grandmother for so long, so she quickly calmed down, "Fifth Aunt is back, and Grandma invited a familiar lady to come over and talk."

"She's a good mother-in-law."

Mrs. Hu looked resentful, "Why didn't she look like this when I came back?"

Seeing that she was beginning to complain again, Xuan'er clenched her fists, "Why does mother always have to compare these things? Fifth uncle has a high official position and has made great contributions in office, and fifth aunt has also returned with honor. Even I know that I should take this opportunity to make friends with the ladies of various families in order to make further progress. It is reasonable for grandmother to do this. Why should mother be dissatisfied?"

"Are you blaming me?"

Mrs. Hu has been acting strangely ever since she was stabbed in the back by her own brother. There seems to be reluctance and pain in her eyes. "I am not returning home in glory. I don't have a good family. Do I deserve to be looked down upon?"

"Who underestimated you?"

A few words aroused the resentment in Xuan'er's heart. She felt that she could never make herself understood by talking to her mother, and she felt very tired. "Aren't you the one who has always looked down on you?"

This sentence completely annoyed Mrs. Hu. She talked about her difficulties like a madman, and how she had been looked down upon. Xuan'er took a deep breath and said, "The Hu family didn't decline today. Grandmother didn't regret the engagement and still let father marry you, which means that the Yuan family didn't mind the situation of the Hu family. It's you who is hypocritical and pretends to be strong. You always think that you make yourself look superior, as if the Hu family has not declined."

"Father wanted to live a good life with you, but you didn't want to. You wanted to step on him and even insulted him. Do you want father to live with resentment like you do?"

She forced herself to live in the mud. When everyone reached out to pull her up, she not only did not move upwards, but instead pulled those who could save her into the mud. "Mother, you are really scary."

"I am your mother, and you are so disobedient. What has your grandmother taught you in the past few years?"

Xuan'er was also desperate. With bloodshot eyes, she lowered her voice and roared, "It's true that you are my mother, but have you ever really loved me? Have you ever considered my feelings? Not only did you not make clothes for me, you also didn't allow me to wear the clothes my aunt gave me. You would rather let me go out and be laughed at than let me go. I was the one who got beaten for my brother's failure to complete his studies, and I was the one who got beaten for my brother's playfulness. You forced me to dance desperately, weren't you thinking of selling me to pave the way for your brother and earn you a reputation?"

"You don't have to deny it. I heard it with my own ears."

“If you don’t like me, why don’t you give me to your aunt? I can follow your aunt. Why do you want to come back?”

Mrs. Hu rolled her eyes in anger, but Xuan'er felt happy. A teenage girl is easily impulsive, and she has restrained herself for many years, so naturally she said whatever she thought and said whatever made the other person uncomfortable. Mrs. Hu could not bear the sudden outburst and fainted from anger.

The person fainted, and Xuan'er became scared. She asked the maid to put the person on the bed. The maid didn't dare to look at Xuan'er, for fear of being punished by her. These were words she shouldn't have to hear.

Fortunately, although the old woman was lazy, she knew the seriousness of the matter. She invited the doctor without alerting anyone outside. After a long and angry talk, she still had to continue taking medicine. Xuan'er stood silently by the side. After sending the doctor away, the old woman stepped forward and whispered, "Miss, this is an old problem for the young lady. You should go to the front yard quickly to help greet the guests. Don't worry about here. No one outside this small Buddhist temple will know what happened today."

The girl is also pitiful. She has met a mother who is born to live a bad life. With a mother like this, how can she get married in the future?

"go quickly."

Xuan'er was sent to the small Buddhist temple by the maid. She was panicking. Fortunately, there was nothing in the front yard that could use her. Just as she was about to go back to her own yard, she met Aunt Jiang. Aunt Jiang had been waiting for her brother to make a career over the years without being arrogant or impatient. She had also never slackened her care for Yuan Heng. At this time, her belly was already bulging, and her second child was about to be born. Even if a new eldest lady came into the mansion in the future, it would not pose much of a threat to her.

"Didn't the girl go to the front yard?"

He did not mention Xuan'er's red eyes, but stepped forward and said softly: "There are many guests in the front yard today. Miss, go and see if you can help. It will also let the ladies outside know how capable and beautiful our daughter of the Yuan family is."

Xuan'er has already started discussing marriage at this age, so it would be a good thing for her to meet more ladies from different families.

"Thank you, Auntie. I'll go first."

"Go back to the house and wash your face first."

Jiang smiled and said, "I copied the Buddhist scriptures and will offer them in front of the altar."

Xuan'er nodded and left. Jiang looked at her leaving back and turned to look at the gate of the small Buddhist temple. The Yuan family should have held a funeral within half a year, right?
After seeing off the ladies, Madam Yuan and Cheng Xiaosi sat together to discuss today's situation, analyzing which families they could get to know better and which families they should avoid. "Most ladies make friends based on their own interests. It is very important to seek good fortune and avoid harm. Don't let your emotions get in the way. Some families are about to get into trouble. At this time, even if you have a good relationship, you can't show it on the surface."

"Although the friendship of helping someone in need is precious, there are too few people who are grateful and repay the favor. It's not that they are heartless, but there are too many people standing behind them. Once something happens, it will affect many people. You can imagine how many people outside the mansion depend on the Yuan family for their livelihood. Those people make money and work for the Yuan family, and all they want is the protection of the Yuan family. You must remember at all times to protect yourself and never let anything happen to you."

"As long as we are the masters, even a short-term loss of power is not a problem. Flowers do not last forever."

When Cheng Xiaosi came back this time, Madam Yuan saw the changes in her. In Funan, there was no elder to supervise her, so she became the housekeeper. After several years of experience, she had made great progress. Putting aside other concerns, it would be appropriate for the Yuan family to be handed over to her in the future.

Cheng Xiaosi also nodded to accept the advice. He wanted to talk about Hu's affairs, but after thinking about it, he did not say anything. The leader was the first to ignore it.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while before Cheng Xiaosi got up and went back to the yard. As soon as Madam Yuan returned to the yard, Xuan'er followed her and then knelt in front of her. Madam Yuan waved her away before she spoke, "What happened?"

Xuan Er told about how she fainted from anger at Mrs. Hu, "I was confused at the time, and I felt that I would feel better only if I spoke it out. I..."

"Grandma, I'm so scared."

If this gets out, her reputation will be ruined. The key point is, won’t she anger her mother to death?

Madam Yuan glared at her fiercely and said, "How many times have I told you to keep your composure in everything? Do you feel better after you say these angry words?"

"Some things and some words should be left to rot in your stomach."

Madam Yuan was angry, but she still felt sorry for her granddaughter. "From today on, you can just pay your respects outside the small Buddhist temple. You don't have to go in."

Xuan'er kowtowed, feeling regretful and scared in her heart. She also had complicated feelings towards Hu, after all, she was her biological mother.

The matter was suppressed quietly. The next day, Cheng Xiaosi heard that Mrs. Hu was not feeling well. She was in good spirits yesterday, but today she couldn't even get out of bed. She wanted to go and see her, but Madam Yuan stopped her. She knew Mrs. Hu very well and knew that if Cheng Xiaosi showed up, Mrs. Hu would probably be so angry that she would die.

Cheng Xiaosi did not force herself. She rested in her mansion for a day and then went back to the palace. She came back just to visit her relatives and stay for a while, and to keep in touch with the relationships of various families. Now that things are almost done, she has to prepare to go back. She doesn't know when she will come back next time, so she has to go to the palace more frequently.
