Xia Zhiliao naturally didn't know what happened to Xie Heng. Anyway, the novel didn't explain how this little cannon fodder was related to the big boss.
She doesn't want to get involved now, but the problem is that she still has to go find that guy to get the space bracelet.
Xia Zhiliao was lying on the kang with her chin down, thinking, but she heard some noise in the yard. Hearing the sound, she perked up.
[It’s over, it’s over, Bai Yueguang is here, I have to help my mother! ]
Xia Chen, who was doing embroidery at the side, was accidentally pricked by a needle. When she looked up, her daughter had already run away.
Why does my daughter say Bai Huiru is the white moonlight?
What does white moonlight mean?
Bai Huiru was talking to Xia Jinxiu in the yard. Xia Jinxiu didn't smile at her, but Bai Huiru didn't care. "Sister Jinxiu, you have grown up so much and become so beautiful. This is the rouge I brought back from the capital. It is suitable for a beauty like you."
When Bai Huiru abandoned Xia Jinjun, Xia Jinxiu was still a child, and her impression of her was all from the complaints of her family. For her, she had no love or hate for Bai Huiru.
Besides, the rouge didn't look cheap at first glance. Not to mention that she couldn't bear to spend it, even if her mother was willing to buy it for her, she couldn't buy it in Shijing Town.
She was about to reach out to take it, but she heard a familiar baby voice behind her.
[To win people's hearts, my aunt is smart and she is very protective of her shortcomings. She will not be bought by such a small thing as yours! ]
Xia Jinxiu put down her hand just as she was about to raise it. She couldn't let her little niece down!
"Take it back. I don't want your things." Xia Jinxiu's heart was bleeding. This box of rouge would cost at least one or two taels of silver.
[See, I told you that my aunt is the most stubborn. She doesn't want your things. Aunt, if you don't want hers, I'll buy you a better one later.]
Xia Jinxiu's bleeding heart recovered instantly, "What are you looking at? What are you doing in my house? Aren't you married? Oh, that's right, that's not called marriage, I have a wife!"
Bai Huiru's pretty face turned pale in an instant, "Sister Jinxiu, I don't have any other intentions, I just want to come and see my aunt."
"It's no use trying to please my mother." Xia Jinxiu said provocatively.
Bai Huiru frowned, remembering that this girl often followed her around when she was a child, calling her Sister Huiru. She was quite cute back then, but how come she became so unruly now?
However, he was born with an enviable good appearance.
"Aunt, are you home? I'm Huiru!" Bai Huiru shouted loudly over Xia Jinxiu.
In fact, she despised the Xia family in her heart. After so many years, there has not been any change at all. Instead, the house has become more and more dilapidated, and the people have become unreasonable.
She came here not to please the Xia family, but because she didn't like being ignored, and she couldn't accept Xia Jinjun's alienation from her.
She could choose not to marry him, but he just couldn't forget her, even though he already had a wife and children.
Her charm was enough to make Marquis Jing'an buy her a house in the capital, and allow him to withstand the pressure and pamper her and her daughter. How could Xia Jinjun, a poor scholar, remain unmoved?
She glanced at Xia Chen, who was standing at the door with her arms around her daughter. The contempt in her eyes was clearly visible, "Sister-in-law, you are at home too!"
[This is my home, where else would my mother be if not here? Mother, overwhelm her with your power.]
Xia Chenshi had never said anything harsh, but she knew that this woman had come with bad intentions. "I... this is..."
Bai Huiru saw that Xia Chen was hesitant, had a sallow complexion, a thin figure, and tattered clothes. She was really not comparable to her in any way, so she curled her lips.
[Mom, don't be afraid, you are my father's wife, she is the vixen outside, if anyone is afraid, she should be the one! ]
Xia Chen felt the strength coming from her daughter's hand and took a deep breath. Yes, what was she afraid of?
"This is my home. If I'm not here, then where should I be?" Xia Chen said in one breath, and then looked at her youngest daughter as if waiting for judgment.
Xia Zhiliao smiled and nodded, "Mom, you are awesome, that's what I said."
"Ahem..." Bai Huiru cleared her throat, a flash of embarrassment passing across her face, but she had seen a lot of the world in the capital, and didn't the wife of Marquis Jing'an have any way to deal with her?
She didn't even take her as a country woman.
"Sister-in-law, I thought you were out working. You look hardworking. Just look at your face and you'll know you've been exposed to the sun. Your hands show that you've done a lot of hard work, unlike me..."
Bai Huiru deliberately moved her fair and tender hands, and her face, which was delicately made up, had some alluring charm.
[Disgusting, you are implying something about my mother, right? If my mother took good care of herself, she would be much prettier than you.]
Xia Zhiliao really doesn't have a mother-daughter filter, but she is the evidence. Everyone who sees her praises her for being pretty. She looks half like her father and half like her mother.
How can she be pretty if her mother is ugly?
After what happened just now, Xia Chen felt that it was not so difficult to confront others.
"I...how can I compare with my sister? I have to work and take care of those children..."
However, before Xia Chenshi could finish her words, Bai Huiru's face drooped.
Xia Zhiliao didn't even understand at first, why did his mother's words make this woman angry!
But if you think about it carefully, you will understand.
She and Marquis Jing'an only have one daughter, the heroine. In ancient times, there was no contraception, and Marquis Jing'an doted on her so much. There must be a reason why she did not give birth again.
There will definitely be no problem with Marquis Jing'an, because he has several legitimate sons and daughters in his mansion.
Then the problem lies with her.
She can't have children?
Or did Marquis Jing'an not allow her to give birth?
If it was the latter, it was very likely that Marquis Jing'an did not want her to give birth to a son, making her son an illegitimate child.
Thinking about it this way, the deceased Marquis Jing'an didn't favor Bai Huiru and the heroine as much as he seemed.
Bai Huiru glanced coldly at Xia Zhiliao beside Xia Chenshi, her eyes cold, "Yes, sister-in-law, this one is probably enough for you to worry about, right? I heard from Brother Jinjun that this child is a mute."
If Xia Chen was still a little weak just now, but at this moment, as a mother, she would never allow others to talk about her daughter.
As a mother, she has to be strong.
"Our Zhila is very obedient. There is no one in the family who doesn't like her!" Xia Chen said quickly this time, and looked up and looked directly into the woman's eyes.
[Mother is awesome, she speaks so openly and honestly, I am your confidence. ]
Xia Chen touched Xia Zhiliao's head and said, "Especially Jinjun. He can't bear not seeing our Zhiliao for a while. When he sees her, he has to carry her on his back. He always puts his daughter first. I can't compare to her!"
The corners of Bai Huiru's mouth twitched twice, and her face became even gloomier.
