Chapter 1799: The Fan Family is Not Going
That won't do.
When Lord Shao had a new baby, the Mei and Huo families went, as did many other prominent and wealthy families. It would be inappropriate for the Fan family not to go.
If you don't do anything, people will laugh at you for being narrow-minded.
The two ladies of the Fan family were also annoyed at their mother-in-law for being so willful and unkind, but if they were asked to go and persuade her, they would definitely not go.
If you go there, you will definitely be scolded.
We are all grandmothers now, who would like to be scolded?
The two masters of the Fan family were unable to persuade their wives about this matter, and they felt guilty. They couldn't blame them, so they had to do it themselves.
Sure enough, as soon as I mentioned this matter, I got scolded by my mother.
"What are you doing? That Shao has no good intentions towards our Fan family. We have already torn our relationship apart, and you are still coming to congratulate us? You two useless guys, are you trying to turn the right cheek after being slapped on the left cheek?"
"You two grown men are so weak-willed, even worse than Yin'er! You have brought shame to our Fan family!"
"You are not allowed to go! We in the Fan family don't need to do such a favor!"
“…”
The two masters of the Fan family were scolded so much that they felt shortness of breath in their chests, blacking out in front of their eyes, their blood boiling, and they were filled with shame and anger. They had no choice but to grit their teeth and endure it.
This must be their biological mother. If she wasn't their biological mother, they would have already started fighting...
But Fan Ruyin was still adding fuel to the fire.
"Brother, anyone with eyes can see that Lord Shao is clearly trying to use our Fan family as a pretext. If we go to congratulate him again, won't we lose face and make him even more arrogant? Don't blame me for being angry."
"Instead of thinking about this, you might as well think of a way to deal with Mr. Shao and put down his arrogance. This will be good for our Fan family!"
What he said was not wrong. This matter indeed needed to be properly resolved in order to minimize the losses to the Fan family.
But at this time, hearing Fan Ruyin say this, the two masters of the Fan family felt very uncomfortable.
The two of them regretted for the 108th time: Why did they agree to let this young lady marry into the family? Why didn't they marry her off? They regretted it so much!
As a result, the whole city knew that the Fan family did not go to send gifts to Lord Shao to congratulate him on the birth of his child.
Qiao Xuan actually didn't care, and Shao Yunduan cared even less. It was good enough that the Fan family didn't come, and there was no need to worry about using their family as a target!
On the day the child was born, Shao Yunduan sent someone to Yuzhang to deliver a letter to announce the good news. Le Zheng's family was happy for them when they heard the news. Le Zhengxiao then hurriedly sent the news to Shao Ding Village.
This made Fang and the other members of the first wife's family so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
Although her son, daughter-in-law and grandson could not come back, Fang still showed off all over the village. She offered sacrifices to her ancestors and planned to set up a few small banquets to invite the village head, clan elders and other respected people and relatives in the village to have a meal and celebrate properly.
She also asked Le Zheng's family to help deliver the small clothes, shoes, socks, swaddling clothes, longevity locks, longevity gold bracelets, and other items prepared for the child, as well as red dates and bird's nests for the new mother. Fang also gave 500 taels of silver and asked them to give it to Qiao Xuan so that she could buy more tonics for her confinement.
I know Qiao Xuan doesn’t lack these, but this is the thought from her as an elder.
Yan and Mei Qing were both thoughtful and had prepared gifts, which they quietly brought to the eldest wife's house and asked her to deliver together.
