The Daily Life of a Down-on-Hard-Life Medicine Girl Supporting Her Family

Chapter 104 Great-Aunt

"Mrs. Xiao?"

Mrs. Zhao was somewhat surprised when she saw Ms. Wen appear at the entrance of the Xiao family mansion. At the same time, she thought: Could it be that she came after me?

They quickly stepped in front of them.

"May I ask what brings Mrs. Zhao here?"

It's best not to mention Xiao Chunlan's desire to marry into the Zhao family; that path is definitely not going to work.

"What a coincidence, Mrs. Zhao is here too?" Madam Wen said with a familiar smile, "I heard that today is Xiao Muyang's first birthday party. As his great-aunt, I've come uninvited. I wonder if you'd like to welcome me?"

Haha, I'm here uninvited!
She even claims to be her great-aunt?

“You must be joking. My Muyang is not worthy of Mrs. Xiao. He only has these two great-aunts.”

Who would have thought that such an uninvited guest would appear at Xiao Muyang's Sunday banquet?

Old Mrs. Xiao, who was originally lacking in energy, instantly perked up upon seeing the newcomers and immediately switched to battle mode. She pulled over her two daughters-in-law, Xu and Huang, who were standing behind her, and said coldly, "There is no one else but these two aunts-in-law."

Hearing her say this, Chunnuan was very surprised: her grandmother in the capital would never speak so bluntly.

Her personality has changed drastically after experiencing so much!

"What you're saying, old lady?" Mrs. Xiao hadn't expected to be so directly contradicted. "Aren't we all from the same clan within the Xiao family, a prominent clan?"

"Mrs. Xiao, you have such a bad memory. What is the relationship between our eldest branch and your Xiao clan? To expel our eldest branch from the clan in front of hundreds of people, is this something a member of a clan would do?" Old Mrs. Xiao was so angry that her face turned red. "Get out of here! You are not welcome here!"

"you……"

Wen was also embarrassed and blushed. She didn't want to come, but Xiao Changfa insisted that she come.

There were two objectives: one was to win them over.

If you can't win them over, then it's best to just kick them while they're down and crush them.

“Mrs. Xiao, please go back. My place is too small to accommodate someone as important as you. Please!” Seeing this, Chunnuan quickly helped the old lady up and said softly, “Please don’t worry, don’t be angry, it’s alright, it’s alright…”

The old lady was already furious. Why did someone always have to ruin her peaceful life?

Today was supposed to be a happy day, but then this person came along. Remembering all the bullying she had suffered before, the old lady was furious.

When the family finally returned to Sichuan after going through countless hardships, she told her daughter-in-law and grandson upon seeing the gates of the Xiao family: "We've finally arrived. It's good that we're here."

Who would have thought that she wouldn't even have the chance to bring her children and grandchildren into the Xiao family compound?

The whole family, young and old, including the granddaughter-in-law who was six months pregnant, were starving and hadn't even gotten a sip of water before being expelled from the clan. She was barely clinging to life and had no chance of winning against them.

Now that they're finally starting to live a better life, they've actually come to their door?

How did he manage to be so shameless?
"Hehe, I didn't want to come either, but I heard some news." Mrs. Wen smiled faintly, "I just think our Xiao family's daughter is really remarkable, daring to file a complaint with the emperor!"

"What did you say?"

Not only the old lady, but even Madam Xu felt that something was wrong with what she was saying. The Xiao family's daughter was going to file a lawsuit with the emperor?

There was only one girl from the Xiao family who could appeal to the emperor: Xiao Chunyu, her eldest daughter.

“Auntie, you don’t need to listen to what she has to say?” Chun Nuan’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly walked up to Madam Wen and said sternly, “Mrs. Xiao, whether your Xiao family’s daughter is capable or not is none of our business. Please leave my house.”

"Hehe, what, you don't know yet? Xiao Chunyu is very famous in the capital..." "Shut up!" Chunnuan couldn't bear it any longer and stepped forward to threaten in a low voice: "If you want your daughters to never get married, just say so, I don't mind you saying it."

"you……"

"Mrs. Xiao, sometimes killing eight hundred enemies will result in losing a thousand of your own. You can try it if you don't believe me!"

Chunnuan said coldly, "Do you think we don't know? Let me tell you the truth, we are all proud of our eldest sister. She is incredibly capable. Not only is she not bullied, but she can also bring down those who bully her. With such abilities, we respect her more than we can bear to look down on her."

"Besides, my elder sister is doing very well. She receives gifts from the Empress and the Empress Dowager. Who would dare to touch her?" Chunnuan glared at Wen Shi: "If you insist on making a scene here today, you will bear all the consequences."

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she truly believed that the Xiao family knew about Xiao Chunyu's situation.

Xiao Changfa's plan to use this news to bring down the family has failed once again.

Looking up at Chunnuan, he noticed her sharp gaze and suddenly remembered Zhou Qiye's connection with her, which instantly extinguished his anger.

Yes, not everyone can withstand Master Zhou's wrath.

"Hehe, since I'm not welcome here, I'll just leave."

In the end, Wen had no choice but to bite the bullet and leave the village.

Xiao Muyang's first birthday party was originally going well, but it turned into a very unpleasant affair because of the arrival of Ms. Wen.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhao said goodbye and left.

Looking at her aunt, mother, and third aunt sitting at the head of the table, along with her eldest sister-in-law, she knew: there was no escaping this ordeal.

Wu Ma had already taken the young children back to the inner courtyard. Chun'an glanced at her elder sister and sighed as well.

"Nuan Nuan, what happened to Chun Yu?"

Aunt was extremely anxious. As soon as she saw her come in, she rushed forward, grabbed her hand, and asked.

This left her with no chance to escape.

What's meant to happen will happen sooner or later. Spring warmth took a deep breath and prepared to confess everything.

But looking at the old lady sitting at the head of the table, she still wavered.

The old lady's favorite was her eldest granddaughter, whom she had raised herself. If she knew how much suffering she had endured, how heartbroken she would be.

"Aunt, my eldest sister is perfectly fine. She even wrote back, which you all saw. Nothing has happened to her." Regardless, this matter still needed to be kept from her grandmother, so Chunnuan had no choice but to lie to Madam Xu again: "Grandmother, Aunt, that person came today with ill intentions. He just wanted to make us uneasy. If we believe him, we'll be fooled."

real or fake?

Xu was stunned for a moment, looked at Chunnuan, then at her family, and suddenly realized that this matter was not suitable to be discussed now.

“Yes, I’m really obsessed. Your elder sister is doing well in the capital. I just received her letter half a month ago, and everything is fine.” Madam Xu said, “I’m just too worried to think straight. That Mrs. Xiao is really no good person. I almost fell for her tricks.”

Madam Xu turned to the old lady and said, "Mother, you must be tired today. Let's rest early. Your daughter-in-law will help you back to your room."

"Nuan Nuan, is your older sister really alright?"

The old lady, however, refused to listen and asked Chunnuan for an answer.
