"What did your father say?"
Upon hearing about her son’s potential marriage talks with the Wenn family’s daughter, Mrs. Xu was not relieved; instead, she felt a headache coming on.
"Uncle’s opinion is to take another look."
Marriages are not as simple as two people rolling into bed like common folk.
The Xiao family carries the burden of guilt, and with Mr. Xiao’s execution, all past grievances are cleared.
However, the Wenn family is different; they have a concubine in the imperial harem.
Every move of this concubine affects the life and death of the Wenn family mbers.
"Your uncle’s caution is justified."
Upon hearing this answer, Mrs. Xu felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
Yes, unable to marry is worriso, but marrying into the Wenn family is also a cause for concern.
"Indeed, our Xiao family can no longer endure any turmoil."
Aunt Mrs. Xu also said, "Normally, the Wenn family would disdain marrying into a family like ours."
They likely value the Xiao family’s son because of General Huaiyuan Xia Guangcheng.
The more this is the case, the less we should panic and let them succeed.
"It’s better to marry a girl from a humble family than to climb that high branch."
Mrs. Xu nodded, "I agree with this reasoning."
It must be said, both Aunt and Mother share similar views to a large extent.
These two sisters-in-law truly get along.
Chun Nuan looked at Aunt Huang’s courtyard.
She wondered what Uncle wrote in the family letter, guessing it wasn’t short of reprimanding words.
Sure enough, after reading the letter, Mrs. Huang was in tears.
"Ungrateful creatures, the whole family is ungrateful. I made such plans for whom, yet I’m warned not to mistakenly aim to attach to the Huang family..."
Angrily, she tore a family letter into pieces, lying on the bed crying uncontrollably.
"Back then, I didn’t give up. Carrying children across a thousand miles to Shu City, living a life of hunger, yet you don’t appreciate my effort and think I’ve changed. Do you even have a conscience?"
"This whole family treats as an outsider. I painstakingly plan for the children and yet they think I’m wrong..."
Mrs. Huang cried and cursed simultaneously.
Chun Qiang stood at the door and heard, wanting several tis to go in and comfort her, but in the end, he quietly withdrew.
"Chun Qiang, what are you doing standing there?"
Chun Ning waved, "Co over."
"Brother Ning..."
Chun Qiang was young and couldn’t understand many things.
"What’s wrong? If you have any questions, just ask. I’m your brother, not an outsider."
"Brother, why is my mother crying? Does Father not want her anymore?"
Chun Ning was taken aback.
"No way, don’t say nonsense." Chun Ning said, "Do you know why your mother is crying?"
"Mother curses that our Xiao family is ungrateful, but aren’t we all humans? How are we ungrateful wolves..."
Well, Chun Ning’s face didn’t look good anymore.
Aunt changed significantly after arriving in Shu City, always feeling everyone wronged her.
It seems that the family letter brought back by sister with such effort probably indeed contained Uncle’s scolding, so she took the chance to curse the Xiao family.
"Brother Ning..."
"Don’t tell anyone about this." Chun Ning hastily reassured him, "Your mother is probably ill."
Yes, Chun Ning felt Aunt looked unwell, her whole aura wasn’t right.
Sotis she seed very gloomy, her gaze lacked brightness.
This matter needs to be discussed with sister.
After comforting Chun Qiang and letting him study, Chun Ning went to find Chun Nuan.
"Sister, what did you say to Uncle in the Northern Desert?"
"I pretty much said everything, and also said nothing."
However, she spoke to Uncle.
Uncle was the head of the family, so words were more appropriate for him to address with Uncle.
"Chun Qiang said Aunt was cursing and crying after reading the family letter."
Chun Nuan... It seems Uncle blad her in the letter.
But it had no effect, instead it was counterproductive.
"Sister, if you have ti, please see Aunt, I think she might be ill."
Aunt is ill?
Chun Ning described what he observed.
"She has been like this for so days, there isn’t a bit of vitality on her face, she doesn’t seem spirited doing anything." Chun Ning said, "She doesn’t join Mother and Aunt’s conversations, mostly staying in the room reading books or teaching Chun Qiang and Chunxin to read. Sotis she’s patient, but sotis she gets angry and strikes their palms with a ruler..."
"Didn’t Aunt say anything?"
"After she planned to send the sister back to the Huang family, Aunt seed tired of her, rarely talking to her."
