Chapter 309 The Liu Family's House Fight
After hearing Old Master Liu's scolding, everyone smiled and led Hu Xin'er into the mansion, as if the quarrel had never happened.
But Hu Xiner had already sensed the undercurrent among them, and knew in her heart that none of the people in the Liu family were easy to deal with.
In fact, she had already anticipated this, so she did not show anything on her face. Instead, she put on a very friendly smile. Although it was fake, it matched the Liu family's fakeness and seemed very harmonious.
"After entering the basement to search for clues, I must find a way to leave!" She thought secretly in her heart, and was surrounded by the crowd and walked inside.
The second old lady wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "My dear grandson, after all these years, I finally found you!"
She held Hu Xiner's hand and looked at her carefully with tears in her eyes.
The eldest old lady was also deeply moved: "When you first got lost, your second grandmother cried every day and lost ten pounds."
This clearly means that the second old lady loves her grandson deeply, but she brought up the old things from the past. While ridiculing the second old lady for being fat, she also tested Hu Xiner's reaction.
But on the surface, there was nothing wrong with what she said. Even Old Master Liu couldn't find any fault with it and could only glare at her.
The old lady frowned: "Why are you so fierce in front of my precious granddaughter? Don't scare the baby in her belly!"
Wow, this sentence is directly turning the tables.
The second old lady held Hu Xin'er's hand and wiped her tears: "You really are exactly like your mother, my dear granddaughter. Second grandma is tongue-tied and can't say anything, but if you have anything that doesn't go your way, come to me and I'll support you!"
The first old lady and the second old lady, one is the principal wife and the other is a concubine. Originally, the second old lady could only be called aunt.
It's just that the Liu family's harem was too full of fighting, and the second old lady had lost her beloved daughter, so Old Master Liu nominally put her on an equal footing with the first old lady.
But in reality, there is still a distinction between wives and concubines. This can be seen from the clothes of the two old ladies. Although the eldest lady's clothes are not luxurious at first glance, the material is a tribute.
If you are not a real connoisseur, you won’t be able to tell.
This actually adds to her reserved and elegant temperament, giving her a unique and unconventional demeanor.
Moreover, the first thing she said was to ask someone to get something from the warehouse, which meant that she was in charge of the duplicate keys to the house.
The pair of keys is a symbol of housekeeping power, and only the person in charge of the financial power in the inner house can hold it.
However, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. The eldest old lady is certainly more noble, but the second old lady is not an easy person to deal with either.
This simple sentence, saying that she would support Hu Xiner, was completely a veiled criticism of the old lady's lax management of the household and her tendency to withhold things from the old lady's yard.
If the eldest old lady argued with her at this time, it would be exactly what the second old lady wanted.
So the old lady pretended not to understand and just looked at Hu Xiner kindly.
Someone immediately spoke up, jokingly supporting the eldest old lady: "What is the second old lady talking about? The old master got up early today to take care of his appearance, saying that he was going to pick up the young lady! Who in the mansion dares to bully her?"
In such a seemingly harmonious atmosphere, she was taken to her residence - Lanxin Pavilion.
There are many orchids planted inside and outside the Lanxin Pavilion, and it can be seen that they have been carefully cared for over the years.
Amidst the fragrant aroma, the second old lady burst into tears: "When your mother was still married, she lived in this room..."
Hu Xin'er ignored her words.
Although it was only such a short distance, she could already tell that the second old lady was a soft-hearted person, and she was a little bit like Xianglin Sao, perhaps because both of them had lost their children.
Whenever the second old lady got the slightest opportunity, she would try her best to bully the first old lady.
Old Master Liu seemed to have gotten used to it. He bypassed the second old lady and introduced Hu Xiner's new room with a smile.
Hu Xiner rubbed her head.
A group of people immediately gathered around and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I think this orchid is hindering the pregnancy." A girl with a bun hairstyle muttered softly.
Hu Xin'er pretended to be weak and said, "It's nothing, just a little dizzy and headache, and my eyelids are drooping."
The implication is, I'm so tired, get out of here quickly.
Everyone understood.
After everyone had left, Hu Xiner collapsed on her bed. Yun Qiu was massaging her legs beside her, with a look of wanting to say something but stopping herself.
"Just say whatever you want to say." Hu Xiner sighed.
Yun Qiu carefully glanced around, closed the doors and windows, and then whispered, "Young Madam, I don't think the Liu family is a good place. You must be careful."
Hu Xin'er felt a little warm in her heart: "It's a good thing you followed me."
Yun Qiu paused, feeling a little aggrieved. "You were so angry today, I thought you didn't want me anymore... Madam, the young master must have realized his mistake now. He might not even be able to eat dinner."
"Don't mention your young master to me!" Hu Xiner rolled her eyes.
She was still very angry when she thought of Mu Qing's reaction!
To celebrate Hu Xiner's return, the Liu family sat together for dinner at night.
On weekdays, the eldest and second oldest ladies both have small kitchens in their yards, and they rarely eat together.
So at this time, even though everyone in the Liu family lived under the same roof, they felt a little awkward sitting together.
There were eight people at the table besides Hu Xiner. Old Master Liu, the first old lady and the second old lady sat together at the top.
The eldest old lady only gave birth to one daughter, who was Hu Xiner's nominal aunt. Her name was Liu Zhi, and Liu Zhi also found a son-in-law who married into the family.
She gave birth to two daughters, one of whom was married and the other was unmarried. The unmarried daughter was also at the table. Her name was Liu Qingyi and she was Hu Xiner's cousin.
The second old lady gave birth to Hu Xiner's mother and Lord Liu, and only Madam Liu was present today.
According to seniority, Hu Xiner should call Lord Liu uncle, Young Master Liu cousin, and Concubine Xuan cousin.
At the dinner table, Liu Zhi said sarcastically, "What are you thinking, mother? I'm afraid the young lady won't be able to eat such exquisite food!"
The boss's wife was openly admonishing her, but in reality she was protecting her daughter: "Zhizhi, stop talking nonsense. Although the cooking method of this meal is different, it tastes very good. You will get used to it after eating it for a while."
Liu Zhi chuckled: "That's true, the food in our house is always exceptionally delicious! At least it's not too shabby."
When the uncle saw Liu Zhi causing trouble, he just buried his head in his food and looked like a coward.
