She was the illegitimate daughter of the prefect. Her father, appreciating a certain general, betrothed his daughter to him and introduced him to Prince Xian. Living up to expectations, he became a...
When Nian asked her to be magnanimous, she was calculating.
When she is asked to be calculative, she chooses to be generous!
This is the pattern!
Nian's eyes widened and her face looked extremely ugly. She couldn't refute him in person, and her words were stuck in her throat!
When the three uncles heard what Yuan Xueyue said, they laughed heartily with satisfaction.
"My niece-in-law is really good at talking. She is indeed the daughter of a wealthy family!"
"Where can I find a daughter-in-law who understands etiquette and manners?"
"Liangxian, your fifth uncle is jealous of you! Brother, you should study harder and catch up with your cousin!" said the fifth uncle to his son.
Everyone was talking at once.
The maids and servants in the mansion began to serve the dishes, and every table was full!
But almost, there are one or two bowls of meat dishes, and the rest are vegetarian dishes and some snacks!
Fourth Uncle smiled and had no objection.
But my second uncle slapped the table and said,
"What do you mean, sister-in-law? If you eat such a vegetarian diet, what will happen to the children down there?"
Uncle San followed up, "That's right! Is this how you entertain relatives in such a large general's mansion?"
As soon as the two of them said this, it was obvious that they were looking for trouble.
Nian was holding back his breath and said,
"The mansion has recently been expanding its staff, and it's costing quite a bit of money to run everything. Besides, you'll be staying here for more than half a month, so we have to budget our expenses carefully."
Besides, each table is not bad!
Nian herself couldn't bear to eat so much fish and meat!
Uncle Wu shook his head and said,
"Cousin, we don't eat much on weekdays, so we thought we could come visit you and give the children a good meal. But the first meal can't be so shabby, right?"
Nian gritted her teeth, feeling angry.
Do these poor relatives think this is a relief hall?
Some people eat delicious food, but they are still picky!
Nian glanced at Yuan Xueyue and gave her a look, indicating that she should say something.
Yuan Xueyue smiled and said,
"Fifth Uncle is right. With so many children, we really can't treat you badly at the first meal. Mother-in-law is just thinking about providing for your long-term well-being and adding some color to every meal from now on!"
"If you eat everything up at this meal, you'll have to be more frugal at the next one."
When this was mentioned, and the meal was mentioned later, the three uncles' expressions changed, and they lowered their heads and said nothing.
The children couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks, and Nian's eyes were full of disgust!
They also started to eat, but they always felt something was wrong!
Second uncle slapped his forehead and said,
"That's right! Niece-in-law, do you have any wine in your house? We can't just eat when we're having a meal! Let's have some wine to liven up the atmosphere!"
Uncle San also said, "That's right, in broad daylight, only by drinking some wine can we have a good rest!"
Nian, "..."
They all asked Yuan Xueyue directly, bypassing Nian's identity.
Yuan Xueyue smiled and said,
"Of course! The general has some wine jugs hidden away, and we can't finish them all in a short time. This time, let the uncles have a taste first!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the uncles immediately burst into laughter!
"My niece-in-law is so generous! Sister-in-law, you must be blessed in your past life to have such a daughter-in-law!"
"That's right, cousin, please get some wine!"
"There's going to be some wine soon!"
Nian was having trouble breathing and kept gasping for breath with her eyes closed.
Mother Cui was in a dilemma. Mrs. Nian hadn't said anything, and the general hadn't spoken either. Should she listen to the lady and go get the wine?
Guo Liangxian gritted his teeth secretly, stood up suddenly and said coldly,
"That's ridiculous! How could I let them drink my own private stash of wine?"
As soon as he stood up, he immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of his three uncles.
Second uncle, "Look at your nephew, why is he so angry?"
Uncle San, "We are all family, what's wrong with giving us some to drink?"
Uncle Wu, "It's not like we're drinking for nothing. I heard you recently started a farm. We uncles will help you look after it and lend a hand someday after we finish drinking!"
Second uncle, "You are so stingy, how did your eldest cousin's wife teach you?"
Guo Liangxian was stunned by the public criticism!
Yuan Xueyue smiled inwardly.
Unexpectedly, this good guy took on the role himself, leaving Nian and Guo Liangxian with nothing to say!
If Yuan Xueyue had only refuted her uncles when she opened her mouth, then the nice guys and the ones who politely offered her wine would have been Guo Liangxian and Nian!
I still remember that in the previous life, Nian accused Yuan Xueyue of not knowing the rules and not knowing how to respect her elders!
Guo Liangxian scolded her, saying that she was not generous and not worthy of being the mistress!
Now that Yuan Xueyue has done what they wanted, why is she unhappy?
These delicious foods and drinks will naturally be contributed to others. As for who plays the bad guy and who plays the good guy, it’s just a reversal!
Nian suppressed her tone and said, "Go, prepare some more dishes and get some wine!"
Nian gave in, feeling helpless.
If you don't agree, these relatives will still find various reasons to cause trouble!
But she was very unhappy!
Especially Yuan Xueyue, why does she act like a spendthrift?
Nian said secretly.
Yuan Xueyue received Nian's gaze, bowed slightly and went to make arrangements.
She knew what Nian was thinking of her, but if Nian played the good guy role, Yuan Xueyue would have to play the bad guy role and be criticized by everyone!
Such a blessing should be given to the Nian family!
With wine and meat served, relatives gathered together and had a great time!
The whole place was bustling with noise, and there were a dozen children running around!
Only Xing'er ate quietly while being served by the maids.
A boy caught sight of him and cried out,
"Hey! You're eating so slowly, come play with us! Look how big your house is!"
Xing Ge'er rolled his eyes and said, "No! I'm tired of seeing it."
The boy was startled. His elder was his second uncle's son. He said,
"The child is so shy? Cousin, has your child grown so big?"
"No, this is Xingge'er!"
Only then did everyone realize that Xing Ge'er was next to them!
Looks familiar, very familiar!
It’s sister Guo Liangxian’s child!
The second uncle took a glimpse and sighed, "This child, poor niece!"
Nian was quite embarrassed and waved her hand to let the maid take Xing'er away.
Everyone was stunned, having drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and they couldn't react.
Nian said, "Lianglian left the child with her cousin Liangxian, but life was really difficult for him. Liangxian took the child back two years ago, and he has been living with her ever since."
Second uncle thought carefully,
"That's not right. This child is from another family. No matter how hard his life is, he is still the child of a woman who married out!"
Uncle San said, "That's right! How can a married daughter care about her grandson?"
"You should feel sorry for our children!"
The fifth uncle said, "I heard that my niece's wife has been childless for over five years. Do you want to adopt one?"
The more they talked, the more confused they became, and they even talked about adoption!
Guo Liangxian was startled and explained,
"No need! Xing'er is my son!"
When these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Starting from the fourth uncle, the second uncle, the third uncle... all of them opened their eyes wide!
Guo Liangxian was angry and drank some wine, which caused him to speak out of turn!
Originally, the fifth uncle had only heard the news from others, waiting to secretly pry open the mouths of his cousin's wife and nephew, but he didn't expect them to reveal it themselves so soon!
