3 Sisters at odds?
Jiang's face turned pale, knowing that the old lady was dissatisfied with her.
Because my family background is not high, the old lady has never been very satisfied with me and dislikes me for not having the demeanor of a noble person.
But my daughter was sick and I was really worried, but the old lady didn't show any sympathy.
I just asked one question when I came in and nothing else.
Jiang's face turned pale and he nodded hesitantly.
Xiao Tingqi wanted to speak for his mother, but when he saw his grandmother's face, he was frightened before he could even say "Grandma..."
Song Wanrou and her sister-in-law exchanged glances for a moment.
How could Old Lady Xiao dislike the Jiang family’s low status? She disliked that kind of behavior. Family background has never been something to show off in the Xiao family.
But Jiang didn't understand.
Jiang walked out of the door somewhat embarrassedly, with faint redness in her eyes.
The old lady's expression became increasingly cold.
"Ah!" The child's clear voice attracted everyone's attention.
Xiao Jian'an in Chen Lan's arms twisted his little body towards Xiao Tingyun.
"...Aunt...beautiful..." The chubby little hands stretched out towards Xiao Tingyun, staring at her with round eyes, mouth slightly open, and the little milk teeth were adorable and lovely.
This sentence focused everyone's attention on Xiao Tingyun, and at this moment Xiao Tingyun was holding a piece of dessert brought by the nanny in Shouhua Hall.
I didn't have time to have breakfast in the morning, so now I'm hungry and can't help but drink some tea and snacks.
Chen Lan couldn't help but raise his hand and tap the little girl, looking quite distressed, "What a lustful little fellow."
The joke made everyone laugh.
The atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Old Madam Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and turned her head away. Xiao Tingyun understood and defended the little girl, "Our An Ge'er was not tempted by beauty, don't wrongly accuse him, he just coveted the plum cake in Ayun's hand."
"This is really an injustice to our An Ge'er. Grandmother will seek justice for An Ge'er." Song smiled and took her grandson, and now she was closer to Xiao Tingyun.
Xiao Jianan stood up and grabbed Xiao Tingyun's hand, "Gao Gao~..." The baby voice melted Xiao Tingyun's heart.
"Come here, auntie, I'll give you some cakes." After saying that, he wanted to hug him from his mother's arms.
Song disagreed and didn't let go, Shen Lan also looked worried, "This child has been making a lot of trouble recently, Ayun, you are weak, don't let him scratch you."
"It's okay. An Ge'er is the most obedient." Xiao Tingyun knew that his mother and sister-in-law were worried about his health.
"Be obedient~~" An Ge'er tilted his head and twisted into Xiao Tingyun's arms.
The children's chatter made the atmosphere in Shouhua Hall much better. Only Xiao Tingqi felt very uneasy. Her mother had just been driven away by her grandmother. Listening to the noise of the crowd, she felt very uncomfortable.
She was especially dissatisfied with Xiao Tingyun. Why did the whole family like her? Just because she was in poor health, these sisters deserved to give way to her.
The originally lively and active An Ge'er instantly calmed down when he entered Xiao Tingyun's arms, and didn't move much. Xiao Tingyun gave him a piece of plum cake, and he sat down and ate it quietly.
Madam Li was very fond of him. "Oh, look at our An Ge'er. He loves his aunt so much. Let me, your great aunt, cherish him too."
"No!" Anger thought that Madam Li was going to snatch his aunt away, so he quickly threw the plum cake away, hugged Xiao Tingyun's neck tightly, and put his chubby little hands on Xiao Tingyun.
Xiao Tingyun couldn't help but kiss Anger, but he didn't expect Anger to feel embarrassed. He covered the place where he was kissed with one hand, and his look of disbelief amused the whole Shouhua Hall.
Xiao Tingqi said sourly, "Ang'er only recognizes the third sister as his aunt. He knows how to recognize people at such a young age."
As soon as these words were spoken, Song Wanrou and Shen Lan became unhappy. They said something about recognizing people and that Ang'er was young. They openly and secretly accused someone of teaching Ang'er behind the scenes.
The people behind this are naturally myself and my mother-in-law.
Old Mrs. Xiao stopped smiling, and the first wife, Mrs. Li, also sneered in her heart, "Idiot!"
Chen Lan frowned and was about to speak, but heard his sister-in-law Xiao Tingyun softly say, "Yes, An Ge'er is smart. After all, he is a member of the Xiao family. Even though he is young, he has learned some principles of life. Why is Third Sister still arguing with my broken body and being jealous of a child?"
With his broken body and being a child, it was like putting Xiao Tingqi on a fire. No matter how dumb she was, she knew that Xiao Tingyun was mocking her.
"I..." Xiao Tingqi subconsciously wanted to refute, but the words didn't come out of his mouth.
As if responding to what she had said, Xiao Tingyun picked up her handkerchief and coughed a few times as soon as she finished speaking. Her fair face turned a little red, and Lvzhi behind her hurriedly picked up the child in her arms.
"Ayun!" Song's face changed. She knew her daughter's physical condition and she must be feeling unwell.
"What's wrong??"
"Hurry!" Everyone was so scared that they stood up to check on Xiao Tingyun's condition.
Ang'er was frightened by the actions of the crowd. His mouth pursed and tears flowed from his eyes, but he didn't cry out loud.
Xiao Tingyun waved his hand, "I'm fine, don't be afraid, An'er."
He patted Ang'er's back soothingly, and Ang'er finally smiled.
Xiao Tingqi, who was standing there in a daze, was shocked by Song's eyes and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Li hurriedly persuaded, "Hey, Ayun, don't use these words to hurt the feelings of your family members in the future. It will make your grandmother feel disappointed."
Xiao Tingyun placed Anger steadily in his sister-in-law's arms, and only after drinking a sip of the tea brought by Lvzhi did he calm down.
Her guilty and pale face looked even more delicate. "I'm sorry to have made everyone worry about me. It's really Ah Yun's fault."
However, Xiao Tingyun did not pretend to cough. His throat really itched and he choked on the plum cake he had eaten before.
"I know everyone is worried about you, so just take good care of you." Old Mrs. Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. It was said that all the grandchildren in their Xiao family were outstanding. Although they could not compare with the eldest son, Xiao Heming, who was extremely talented, at least they could all have their own unique characteristics when they went out.
But the old man told her privately that if Tingyun was a son, he might be even better than his eldest grandson.
She didn't think much of it, thinking that a pretty girl couldn't have such great abilities.
But she had seen it all during this period and knew that her granddaughter had secretly given the old man a lot of advice and helped him avoid many hidden attacks from the court. She had never imagined that Tingyun had the ability to strategize.
Xiao Tingqi felt so angry after hearing this that she didn't know how to describe it. If she had been online, she would definitely know the term "green tea", which refers to Xiao Tingyun! !
Looking at the family members surrounding Xiao Tingyun, asking about his well-being and showing concern for each of them, his own mother didn't even have the right to sit here.
I suddenly became angry. Why? !
She deserves to have such poor health and looks sick all day long. The whole family has to give in to her. Why? ? ! !
You deserve it!
As Xiao Tingqi was thinking, he unconsciously said the last sentence.
boom--
Xiao Tingqi's maid was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground, shaking all over.
After hearing the sound, Xiao Tingqi suddenly realized what he had said.
Everyone in Shouhua Hall looked at her except Xiao Tingyun.
She still picked up the teacup and took a sip calmly, her movements graceful and her fingertips gentle. Even if Xiao Tingqi was dissatisfied with Xiao Tingyun, he had to admit that Xiao Tingyun's face was truly beautiful.
That sickly look did not diminish her beauty in the slightest; instead, it made her originally gorgeous beauty more restrained and more elegant.
Old Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Tingqi with a cold face, and said mercilessly, "Go back and copy the Buddhist scriptures a hundred times. During this period of time, you are not allowed to step out of the door without my permission!"
This punishment is already considered light. For a jealous sister like Xiao Tingqi who is resentful, she should be properly disciplined by the nanny.
Old Madam Xiao must have known something about the affair between her and the fourth girl, and she was originally unwilling to interfere. After all, they were sisters, and there was no overnight grudge.
But what they said today is a big deal between sisters!
Xiao Tingqi slumped on the stool, looking aggrieved and incredulous.
"Why don't you help your young lady back? Let Jiang family keep an eye on her!" Old Mrs. Xiao frowned. They all came from martial arts backgrounds, and each of them should be upright and have the ability to stand on their own.
Instead of brothers fighting each other and making a joke! I became more and more dissatisfied with Jiang. She gave birth to children but failed to raise them. She only knew how to spoil them. How could this really be good for them?
Xiao Tingxue is still young and can correct her behavior, but Xiao Tingqi is almost married, so don't let his temper bring disaster to the family!
It also caused the sisters to blame each other. If this were to get out, people who didn't know would think that all the girls in the Xiao family were unfriendly to their sisters!
Xiao Tingqi's maids Liu'er and Dong'er helped their young lady up tremblingly and returned to Lanqi Pavilion.
