Chapter 29: Mother Rises


0

How can you expect a mute daughter to turn into a phoenix?

Bai Huiru's eyes were full of contempt. She had really stayed in this remote place for too long. No, to be exact, she had never left here and had never seen the world.

Compared to his extremely intelligent daughter, this child is not even worthy of being a maid.

"Is my aunt here?" Bai Huiru didn't want to continue this topic. She really disliked this mother and daughter.

A woman with no looks and no scheming, and a mute daughter. She was too disdainful to talk to them.

"I brought some supplements back from the capital and came to visit her specially." Bai Huiru said.

"Who wants your things? Take your things and get out of here!" Old Mrs. Xia listened for a long time and didn't say anything. She really didn't want to see this woman.

However, Bai Huiru remained calm and said, "Aunt, so you are at home."

"Didn't my mother tell you not to come in? Didn't you hear me?" Xia Jinxiu yelled and tried to pull Bai Huiru.

Bai Huiru smiled faintly, "Sister Jinxiu, this dress of mine is made of the finest brocade, it's very expensive."

Xia Jinxiu understood what she meant intelligently. She did have a bad temper, but the dress did look gorgeous, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to afford the compensation if she damaged it.

Xia Jinxiu didn't dare to stop her, and Xia Chenshi was even more afraid. As for Xia Zhiliao, just as she went over, Bai Huiru had already entered Old Lady Xia's room.

Old Mrs. Xia didn't look happy when she saw the shameless woman.

But Bai Huiru didn't care. She didn't believe that Old Lady Xia could resist the temptation of money. "Aunt, is your foot injured? Ouch, why are you so careless? Old people can't help but hurt their bones. Didn't you go to see a doctor? Brother Jinjun, why is he so uncaring? I'll go get you a doctor later."

Old Madam Xia snorted coldly, knowing that she was not sincere at all.

"It's almost healed."

"Aunt, your health is the most important thing. You were good to me in the past, so I should honor you now." Bai Huiru glanced down at the supplements in her hand, "It just so happens that we are in perfect harmony. Look, these I brought from the capital are just what you need."

[Who knows if you bought it in the capital or in the town? I saw someone buying this in the town.]

Old Mrs. Xia originally thought that this woman was not an ungrateful person and still cared about her, but after hearing what her little granddaughter said, she immediately lost her happiness.

"What are you doing in our house?" Old Mrs. Xia's expression was still stern.

Bai Huiru didn't sit on the kang either. She was disgusted and was afraid of dirtying her clothes made of more than ten taels of silver. "Aunt, I just came to see you. No matter what happens between me and Brother Jinjun, you are the elder. I will always remember your kindness to me!"

Old Mrs. Xia pursed her lips and thought to herself that she had finally said something sensible and that she had been kind to this woman. But who would have thought that she would abandon her son and marry someone more noble.

"Aunt, I'm doing well now. It hurts to see you not doing well. If there's anything you need help with at home, just ask. Don't be polite to me. Just treat me as... your daughter."

Bai Huiru is a good speaker, and her words are sincere and heartfelt, melting the hearts of those who listen to her.

She paid attention to the old lady's expression. She had figured out the old lady's character many years ago, otherwise the old lady would not like her so much.

So, now, she knew exactly what to say to make the old lady happy.

Old Mrs. Xia is very concerned about her reputation, so how could she really need her help?

"Aunt, when Brother Jinjun goes to the capital to take the imperial examination, you must tell me. No matter whether he or I..." She deliberately glanced at Xia Chen, and then her expression became lonely, as if she was the one who was abandoned and suffered all the grievances.

"No matter what we are like, we are not outsiders. Besides, we must let Brother Jinjun take the imperial examination. If he doesn't have money, I will pay for it. I have always believed that he can pass the imperial examination. He is very talented. I don't know what has happened in recent years..."

Old Mrs. Xia felt a little relieved. After all, she was worried about her son going to the capital to take the imperial examination alone, and the woman's words hit the nail on the head.

[What's the reason? What do you want to say? Are you going to say that my mother delayed my father again? Nothing has happened yet, and you're already trying to sow discord, you bad woman!]

Old Mrs. Xia thought about it and realized that her son’s failure in the imperial examination had nothing to do with Xia Chen. On the contrary, her daughter-in-law didn’t ask her son to do anything just to let him concentrate on his studies.

Thinking about it this way, she also felt that Bai Huiru's words were too much.

Xia Zhiliao looked at the woman's hypocritical behavior and continued to mutter.

[My dad was so good, why do you not want him anymore? Now that your man is dead, you're thinking about my dad? ]

Xia Jinxiu was a person who held grudges. She had not yet forgotten the woman's comment about the expensive clothes. "You said my second brother was so good, so good, then why didn't you marry my second brother at that time, and instead went to be a concubine for that high-ranking official in the capital?"

[What concubine? She is a concubine outside the family. The mansion does not acknowledge her at all. She is worse than a good concubine! ]

"By the way, why did I hear that Sister Bai seemed to be having a mistress? Is that true?"

Bai Huiru's face changed drastically. She had never told anyone about this, not even her parents knew about it. How did Xia Jinxiu know about it?

"No...No, Sister Jinxiu may have heard it wrong."

Xia Jinxiu smiled coldly, "Whether she is a concubine or a mistress, she is not the wife anyway. Sister Bai, you haven't answered my question yet? My second brother is so good, why didn't you marry him at that time?"

"I..." Bai Huiru paused slightly. She had never thought about marrying Xia Jinjun.

She just couldn't bear to see that the man who obviously liked her was now so cold to her.

On the other hand, she had heard her daughter talk about preparing for a rainy day, but she naturally didn't understand. However, if Xia Jinjun graduated from high school, he would no longer be a poor scholar, so it would not be impossible.

In short, she looks down on it at the moment.

"Sister Jinxiu, my sister-in-law is still here, so let's not talk about this."

[Speak up, just speak up, so that my mother won’t have to live under your shadow forever. It’s better to speak up, just speak up! ]

"It's okay. What happened between you and Jinjun is in the past. I'm not that petty." Xia Chen was in high spirits due to her daughter's encouragement, and she spoke very quickly.

Bai Huiru glanced at Xia Chen coldly. Xia Chen didn't want to give the man to someone else, so she looked over bravely. Moreover, she had previously thought that Bai Huiru was like an insurmountable mountain.

But now it seems that I was left speechless by what I just said.

It turns out that the woman my husband likes is not so incomparable, just like this!

"Sister-in-law, do you really want to hear it?" Bai Huiru asked with a sneer.

[Anyway, I want to hear it. Tell me what excuse you can come up with.]
