Chapter 140 Madam Xiao Hands Over the Household Keys
Xie Yao looked at the kind-looking Old Madam Xiao, and her heart warmed. She nodded, "Of course you can, Grandma."
"Hey, good boy."
Old Madam Xiao smiled so much that the wrinkles on her face smoothed out, and she looked at her granddaughter-in-law without blinking.
How could there be such a beautiful girl, so talented and beautiful as a fairy? Great, that's great, she is worthy of being the granddaughter-in-law she personally asked for.
"Please serve tea, bride." Nanny Luo served the tea.
"Grandson, granddaughter-in-law greets grandma and invites her to have tea."
Xiao Yizi was sitting in a wheelchair. He had difficulty moving and could only bow.
Xie Yao picked up the teacup, knelt in front of Old Madam Xiao, and kowtowed respectfully and sincerely.
In her previous life, she had met Old Madam Xiao once.
That was in the court of Jingzhao Yin.
She sued Lu Shenyan and asked for a divorce.
Lu Shenyan was a famous top scholar in the capital. At a young age, he was promoted to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and had an excellent reputation among the people.
In response to the lawsuit, he said that his wife did not provide children for the Lu family and was frail and sickly, spending money on medical treatment and medicine all year round. He sent his wife to a farm outside Beijing because his salary was insufficient.
People all over the street were speaking up for Lu Shenyan and saying that Xie Yao was bold and presumptuous and not a good wife.
Just when the lawyer her uncle hired for her was speechless, Old Madam Xiao suddenly appeared with a cane.
At the beginning, Xie Yao refused to marry King Jingbei. This matter was known to everyone in Beijing and was a slap in the face of the Xiao family.
But that day, Madam Xiao said to the Jingzhao Yin, "If she hadn't been desperate, why would she, a woman, sue her husband? Since they've lost their love for each other, what's the point of forcing them together? Let them divorce."
Lu Shenyan was so angry that his face twisted, but when he learned the old lady's identity, he didn't dare to refute.
When she left, Old Madam Xiao stuffed a piece of osmanthus candy into her hand.
"My child, even if you married the wrong person, it's not a big deal if you recognize the right person. You are still young and you will have a good life ahead of you."
Tears welled up in her eyes.
In Xie Yao's heart, Old Madam Xiao is like her own grandmother.
No, she is a hundred times better than my own grandmother.
Old Madam Xiao took the teacup and then handed a jade bracelet to Xie Yao.
"This is the bracelet from my dowry. I'm giving it to you now, child. You've suffered in the past, but it doesn't matter. I hope you can treat the Xiao family as your home in the future."
"Thank you for your kindness, Grandma."
The more Mrs. Xiao looked at her, the happier she became. She pulled her aside and put the jade bracelet on her finger herself.
Touching her granddaughter-in-law's slender, fair, but not very delicate hands, and seeing the thin calluses on Xie Yao's palms, she said distressedly: "Yaoyao is good in every way, but she is too thin. She should eat more in the future."
Madam Xiao Zhou complimented, "The princess's sister-in-law has been exposed to the wind and sun in the strong women's camp since she was young, yet she still has such a beautiful face. If she grew up in the capital, I wonder how stunning she would be."
She calmly emphasized that Xie Yao grew up in the border area.
Xie Yao raised her eyes to look at her: "From what my cousin said, does she look down on me? Looking down on me means looking down on the Healthy Women Camp..."
She was halfway through her words when she glanced at the prince.
Although one trick can make you successful, I have used it too much.
"-Now I am the prince's princess. If you look down on me, you are looking down on the prince." She changed her words.
Xiao Yizi raised the corner of his lips imperceptibly.
very good.
His role in the princess' heart is comparable to that of the eldest princess.
Madam Xiao Zhou's face froze. She had not expected Xie Yao to be so direct. "Your Highness, you are joking. That is not what I meant."
"Shut up now. What's wrong with the Jianfu Camp? The people from the Jianfu Camp are so great. Queen Shen is so majestic. You want to go, but they don't want you." Madam Zhou glared at Madam Zhou, then looked at Xie Yao with curiosity.
"Niece-in-law, I heard you know some martial arts. My family is Zhengsu, and he never stops talking. I have long wanted to learn some martial arts to scare him, but I can't find a female martial arts master. I just hope you can give me some pointers."
Zhengsu?
Xie Yao was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Yizi said at the right moment beside her: "My third uncle's name is Xiao Zhengsu."
Xie Yao narrowed her eyes and nodded: "If you just want to learn some punches and kicks to control Third Uncle, I will definitely teach Third Aunt a few moves when I have time another day."
"That's great!" Mrs. Zhou smiled from ear to ear.
Mrs. Xiao Zhou agreed with a wry smile, thinking to herself, what kind of mother-in-law at her age wants to learn martial arts from her niece-in-law?
Normally, she despised her mother-in-law's harsh and rude nature, but now, with the coming of a princess, she was even worse.
At this time, Mrs. Xiao Zhou's daughter A Rong pulled out a small wooden sword from somewhere and started waving it.
Ah Rong tugged at Xie Yao's skirt and said excitedly, "Auntie, you know martial arts? Then please teach Ah Rong how to wield a sword. Ah Rong wants to go into battle and kill the enemy like General Gu did, and then marry the princess!"
General Xiao Gu?
Xie Yao's mouth corners rose slightly.
Only the great general's apprentice, Gu Dao, was called Little General Gu.
And she is Gu Dao.
Xiao Yizi noticed the smile on the princess's lips and his eyes darkened.
A trace of discomfort crossed Mrs. Xiao Zhou's face. She snatched the wooden sword and said sternly, "A Rong, what nonsense are you talking about? Where did you find this sword? This is so rude. Don't eat lunch today!"
"No, mother still has Ah Rong's knife!"
A Rong burst into tears with a "wow".
Xie Yao's heart was slightly moved. The little girl was only seven years old, but she had great ambitions.
However, there is nothing wrong with learning from me and going into battle to kill the enemy, but isn’t it a bit strange to marry a princess?
"Arong is very ambitious, but why is she more like General Gu than a great general?" Xie Yao squatted down, rubbed the little girl's head, and asked.
In the State of Yan, the god of war in the army was the great general Gu Zhaotang.
Speaking of killing people like crazy, even children are afraid to cry at night. That is King Jingbei.
As the disciple of the general, he was not as famous as the other two because he was a trusted comrade in the army and was protected by the general.
However, in the northern border, or on the border between Yan and Wei, her reputation is no less than others.
Ah Rong looked up at Xie Yao, her face flushed from being touched. She didn't even bother to cry anymore and whispered, "I heard that General Gu is a girl, and when she was as young as Ah Rong, she was able to fight. Of course Ah Rong has to learn from her."
Then she said, "Aunt, you are so beautiful, just like a fairy in a painting. Can Arong marry you when he grows up?"
Xiao Yizi's face darkened, his forehead twitched twice, but he endured it.
Xie Yao teased, "Aren't you going to marry the princess?"
A Rong thought for a moment and said, "Well... the princess will be the younger one, and you, aunt, will be the older one."
Xiao Yizi: "..."
Mrs. Xiao Zhou's mouth twitched again. After a long pause, she managed only one sentence: "A Rong, if you keep talking nonsense, you won't have dinner tonight."
Madam Xiao looked at her deeply and said meaningfully, "You did a good thing."
"Arong, be good. Remember that you are a girl and cannot marry a princess."
As she spoke, Mrs. Zhou also glared at Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Xiao Zhou didn't dare to refute. Her eyes turned red and she pulled A Rong behind her.
Xie Yao saw this and decided to ask Xiao Yizi what was going on later.
After three rounds of conversation, Madam Xiao asked Nanny Luo to put a sandalwood box on the table.
When everyone in the hall saw the box, they suddenly became quiet.
Old Madam Xiao opened the wooden box herself. Inside was a bunch of heavy keys of different lengths, and a jade token at the bottom.
She looked at Xie Yao and said solemnly, "Now that Yizhi has married the princess, you are the mistress of the Jingbei Palace. Grandmother will give you the keys and jade token to manage the household."
