Chapter 192: Mother Xia Passes Away
"I came out to see you. How are you now? How come you didn't even know you were sick?" Xia Yutong didn't say much, just talked about her illness.
"It's not normal for someone of your age to be sick. You are busy at the palace, child. Don't go out for too long."
Parents worry about their children all their lives.
Xia's mother is no exception.
"Is everything okay in the palace?" She felt sorry for her daughter, knowing that being in a high position also has its own sufferings.
"Everything is fine in the palace, so don't worry about it." He helped the person up a little and let her lean on him so that she would feel more comfortable.
After chatting with her mother for a while, looking at her mother's tired face, Xia Yutong asked her to drink some water and let her go back to sleep.
In the afternoon, all the Xia family members were there. Xia Yutong looked at Xiaoyu, who was about the same height as Xiaoxuan. She had really liked this younger brother, but he was just not sociable.
"Xiao Yu, you have seen your mother's health condition. Your elder sister wants to find you a marriage." She knew that the person her mother was most worried about was her youngest son.
Xiaoyu raised his head blankly and looked at his elder sister.
He was very fond of his elder sister, and when she talked about his marriage, he blushed with shyness.
"Everything is up to my elder sister."
"Then do you have someone you like in your heart?" Xia Yutong is not the kind of person who would break up a couple.
Make sure everything is clear before making any arrangements.
Xiaoyu shook his head. He really didn't. He was so absorbed in the books that he had no time to think about these things.
"No."
After hearing this, Xia Yutong thought of the girl she had chosen for him.
So she said to him, "During the last talent show, my eldest sister took a fancy to a girl. She was also born in a scholarly family and shared the same interests as you."
She slowly revealed the girl's information.
The girl's surname is Li, so she is half a member of the Li family, but that branch of the Li family had long since separated from the aristocratic Li family.
Fortunately, their own lineage was promising, and they did not interfere in the affairs of the Li family, so they survived when the aristocratic families were cleansed up.
Now both the Li family father and son are in high positions.
They are also people of good character, and the girl has taught them very well.
Li Yiran was born into such a family.
Upon hearing about this candidate, Xia's father was the first to agree.
Their family was born in a farming family, so they needed a daughter-in-law like this.
"As the eldest sister, you have to take charge of this matter and arrange it. Don't let the girl suffer any loss." The Xia family didn't have anything else, but they had a lot of money.
We can't let our daughter-in-law suffer.
Father Xia's reaction was even more excited than when he married Luo Xiaoshi.
Luo Xiaoxiao sat aside. She knew that her father-in-law and mother-in-law had some opinions about her.
However, we don't live together, and we only see each other once a month or so on weekdays, so it's not too awkward.
Now seeing her father-in-law like this, she feels bad too.
At this moment, a hand reached out quietly and held her hand, and the warmth of the hand warmed her heart.
She looked at the owner of her hand, and it turned out to be her husband. Luo Xiaoxiao smiled back, proving that she didn't care about it.
Their interactions are unknown.
Even though Xiaoyu's marriage was settled, Xia Yutong used her status to personally summon the mistress of the Li family into the palace.
Ask him if Li Yiran is engaged.
Mother Li was not stupid. She quickly thought of the unmarried son in the Xia family.
The smile on her face was also three points more genuine: "Replying to the Queen, Yiran has not yet decided on a marriage."
Xia Yutong smiled, "I wonder if the Li family knows about my other brother."
Having said that, there is nothing that Li's mother doesn't understand.
She smiled and replied, "Of course I know. He's this year's third place winner." She was not the kind of person who would brag about her status.
It is Yiran's blessing that the Xia family likes her.
She heard that none of the men in the Xia family took concubines, and the eldest son of the Xia family still had only one wife and had a son and a daughter, which was the envy of others.
If her daughter had this blessing, she would certainly be happy.
However, she couldn't make the decision on this matter and had to go home to discuss it.
Xia Yutong knew from Li's mother's words that she wanted to go back and discuss it with Lord Li, so Xia Yutong naturally agreed.
After seeing Madam Li off, Xia Xue and the others felt unhappy.
"Master Yu is such a good man, yet they are still discussing this. How tactless of them!"
Hearing this, Xia Yutong glanced at them unhappily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Marriage is a big deal, so of course it has to be discussed with the parents. They really love their daughter."
These two people are still unwilling to get married, just like Liu'er.
Liu'er is not stupid. She raised a son early on to take care of her in her old age.
"This is not the way to love a daughter. Mr. Yu is such a nice man with a good temper." Xia Xiang also became a little unhappy.
"If Yi'an talks about her in-laws in the future, we should discuss it with her. We can't just agree without even meeting them." These two people are really going backwards.
When it comes to the princess, the two are different again.
It's really a double standard.
After returning home, Li's mother found her husband first.
When the Queen summoned her to the palace today, Doctor Li was very confused because they had little contact with the royal family.
Why did the queen summon his wife?
When he heard from the servants that his wife had returned, he hurried over to find out what had happened.
The couple both thought of the same thing.
As soon as they met, Mrs. Li did not hide anything and directly told them why she came to the palace today.
After listening to this, Doctor Li fell into deep thought.
In the end, he still loved his daughter and asked his wife to accept the marriage.
Two days later, Madam Li finally entered the palace.
After waiting for two days, Xia Yutong was not unhappy. Instead, she felt that they were good people.
He did not marry his daughter off just because of her social status.
As soon as Madam Li entered the palace, Xia Yutong gave her a warm welcome.
Mrs. Li also brought good news.
They said their family was happy to marry into the Xia family.
Xia Yutong was very happy. Not only did she have Madam Li escorted out of the palace respectfully, she also gave Li Yiran a lot of gifts.
She even went out of the palace the next day to tell her parents the good news.
When Mr. and Mrs. Xia learned about this, they immediately started to make arrangements for their youngest son.
Luo Xiaoxiao also came to help. Mother Xia was also happy to have her eldest daughter-in-law help, so she took her to prepare all the etiquette.
A matchmaker was invited to come to propose marriage.
The Li family accepted the gifts and agreed to the marriage.
When Li Yiran learned that she was going to marry Xia Ziyu, she was completely stunned.
He was the queen's younger brother, and she felt that she was marrying above her station.
Of course, the parents also have their own ideas. The Xia family has a good atmosphere, and Yiran will definitely not be wronged after getting married.
After the reason was explained, Li Yiran also accepted the idea of marrying Xia Ziyu.
After exchanging horoscopes, the wedding date was set, which is after the beginning of next spring.
In the fourth year of Wenfeng, Xia Ziyu got married.
Mother Xia’s worries were finally resolved.
In September of the second half of the year, Xia's mother became seriously ill.
Lying on the bed, Mother Xia looked well, but her organs were failing. Xia Yutong took her pulse and was afraid that she would die in the next few days.
She has been living in the Xia Mansion these days.
Wen Li also goes out during the day and comes back at night.
Li Yiran became pregnant shortly after marrying into the Xia family, and her belly is now showing.
When her mother-in-law is sick, she, as a daughter-in-law, certainly can't just stand by and watch.
Serving here every day.
Of course Luo Xiaoxiao was there too.
Xia Yutong treated both of her sister-in-laws the same and treated them fairly.
"Yiran, go back and rest first. Your sister-in-law and I will be here." Xia Yutong said when she saw that Yiran was having trouble doing things.
Li Yiran also likes this Queen sister very much. Not only is she kind, but she is also very humble.
Not only that, she was also very nice to her. She thought that since the elder sister-in-law had been in the family for so many years, she would definitely like the elder sister-in-law more, but she didn't expect that she treated both of them the same.
What she has, her sister-in-law also has, and what her sister-in-law has, she also has.
"I'm fine." Her mother-in-law was very kind to her, and she wanted to do her best.
"What do you mean it's okay? You're obviously pregnant and it's really tiring. Go back and rest first and come back later." Luo Xiaoxiao also knows medicine. Seeing her second brother and sister-in-law like this, she also joined in persuading them.
Other families may have some disputes over family wealth, but theirs is different.
After she entered the house, her uncle said that the Xia family would be given to her and her husband in the future.
He takes care of his parents and takes care of them, and gives everything else to Xiaoyu.
Of course Xiaoyu was not happy about this, as his elder brother had contributed to all of this, and he couldn't take it all.
Even if the family splits up, the eldest brother will get the biggest share.
Because of this, the two brothers had a conflict for the first time.
In the end, it was Xia's father who stepped in and allowed Xia Ziyu to take over the burden of the Xia family.
However, he still gave some external businesses to Xiaoxuan, such as those managed by Liu'er, which he gave all to Xiaoxuan.
It is true that he favors his younger son, but his eldest son is also his son, so he certainly won't let Xiaoxuan down too much.
After Xiaoyu got married, Xia's father divided the family up.
In response, the Li family also praised the Xia family's righteousness.
The young couple lived their own little life and were very happy.
Anyone who sees Li Yiran would say that she is blessed.
Although Xia Ziyu is not a high-ranking official, he is the brother-in-law of the current emperor and the uncle of the future emperor.
Everyone who sees him has to flatter him.
Xia's mother wakes up less and less often.
That day, Xia's mother suddenly got up early and put on beautiful makeup.
When Mr. Xia woke up, he saw that there was no one beside him. He was shocked and hurriedly got out of bed to look for him.
Find your wife in front of the dressing table.
"Wanru, why did you get up so early?" Father Xia was shocked and immediately stepped forward to ask with concern.
Mother Xia shook her head and said, "I woke up because I couldn't sleep. I saw you were asleep, so I didn't disturb you." Mother Xia's tone and expression were very natural, and she didn't sound like someone who had been sick for a long time.
He's in good spirits.
Seeing that she was really fine, Xia's father felt relieved.
She ate a lot of breakfast, and after eating, she didn't lie down to rest as usual, but waited here instead.
As if waiting for someone.
Among Xia Bian's servants was Xia Xue. Upon seeing this, she said nothing and sent someone to call the young masters and young ladies from the mansion over.
After all the Xia family members gathered, Mother Xia looked at her children and grandchildren with a smile.
"Xiaotong, come here." Mother Xia has been tortured by nightmares these days.
She forgot everything that happened in the dream, but she knew that her family could become what it is today because of her daughter.
When her daughter came over, Xia's mother sent Xia's father away and let Xia Yutong sit next to her.
After sitting down, Mother Xia looked at her delicate daughter and whispered in her ear, "My Xiaotong should be living a happy life too."
After saying this, she moved a little further away and looked at the person in front of her with a pair of loving eyes.
Xia Yutong was startled by these words, but she quickly reacted and smiled at her mother: "Yes, I'm very happy."
Leaving that home is her greatest happiness.
Everyone saw them talking and laughing and didn't think much of it.
It’s just because Xia’s mother said it too lightly before.
"That's good, that's good." Mother Xia thanked sincerely.
Knowing that her daughter was doing well, she felt relieved.
"Xiaotong, thank you for your contribution to this family." Mother Xia looked at her. When did she start to doubt?
I don't remember.
But she knew that this was also her daughter.
Xia Yutong shook her head gently: "This is also my home."
"Well, your home."
After saying this, Mother Xia smiled at her family members.
She knows her situation herself.
"Xiaoxuan, you've been very independent since you were little. You've also learned a lot from your older sister. I'm not worried about you. I'm also very confident in you and Xiaoxiao. You're both good children."
Hearing this, everyone's heart tightened. Thinking of something, Xia Zixuan stood up from his seat, walked to his mother, and knelt down: "Mom."
His eyes were red and tears began to accumulate.
"You kid, you are the one I love the most." Mother Xia did not go forward to help him up.
Luo Xiaoxiao thought that this was the same situation before her grandmother left. She knelt behind Xiaoxuan with her two children and called out, "Mom."
Mother Xia looked at Luo Xiaoxiao and smiled with satisfaction: "Xiaoxiao, you have suffered a lot these years. You have been following Xiaoxuan everywhere. You have worked hard."
She felt powerless to deal with her son doing this.
Mother Xia didn't know that all this was because Luo Xiaoxiao wanted to go out for a walk.
"Mom." Luo Xiaoxiao didn't know how to start, tears burst out and she burst into tears.
"Don't cry, mother is caring about your daughter-in-law." Although the eldest daughter-in-law is not very close to him, it does not prevent him from liking her.
Looking at the two children again, Mother Xia was very satisfied.
"Le Le, Cheng'er, you must be obedient in the future and don't make your mother sad. It's not easy for your mother to follow your father." A bumpy life.
Xia Yutong's lips twitched, and she really wanted to say that she also wanted to live such a bumpy life.
The two children were very well behaved and obedient. When they heard what their grandmother said, they kowtowed and said, "We will listen to you, grandma."
The eldest brother's family had made all the arrangements, but Rongrong, who was far away in the south city, had not had time to rush back.
She gazed into the distance. Her Rongrong had not returned yet. Her mother could not wait any longer. Rongrong, you have brothers and sisters to protect you. You will have peace and happiness in your life.
Retracting her gaze, Mother Xia looked at Xiaoyu and his wife who were kneeling beside Xiaoxuan.
"Xiao Yu, quickly help your wife up. She is heavy, don't hurt her." Mother Xia looked at Li Yiran who was kneeling there with concern.
She didn't have much to explain to Xiaoyu.
Just let him stay calm and live his life well, don't compare himself with others, and don't do anything to bring shame to the Xia family.
Father Xia understood that his wife was going to leave first.
He stepped forward to support his old wife, letting her lean lightly on him.
Xia Yutong retreated back to Xiaoxuan and the others.
She knelt down too.
Kneel to the sky, kneel to the earth, kneel to her parents, she recognizes this mother and she should kneel.
When Wen Li and Gen'er came over, Xia's mother saw that they had not yet changed into their court robes.
He smiled and waved to Weng'er.
