Chen Nian looked at Xia Tian's money-obsessed look, and the depression in his heart over the past few days finally dissipated a little.
"Then keep it well and treat it as your own private property in the future." Shen Nian gently shook Xia Tian's hand, then quickly let go. "I'll accompany you to pay my respects tomorrow morning."
He wanted to see how his grandmother would punish him by making him kneel!
"Okay. Then thank the Marquis for me." Xia Tian raised the box in his hand and said to Shen Nian with a smile.
In addition, she would certainly not refuse Chen Nian's request to support her. With such a caring husband, she should not try to be stubborn.
When Liu heard Nanny Qi say that the old lady had made Xia Tian kneel at the gate of the courtyard for three consecutive days, she felt very happy and really thought that no one could control her.
"The old lady finally vented her anger for Lan'er and me."
"Yes, after all, the Madam is the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, and the Third Miss is the old Madam's granddaughter. How can they be compared to her, an unwelcome outsider?" Madam Qi complimented Liu with a smile.
"That's right. Although the Marquis protected her for the sake of his reputation, but look, has the Marquis said a word for her in these three days?" Liu said disdainfully.
"The Marquis must still have the Madam and the Third Miss more important in his heart. Otherwise, why would he only confine the Madam and the Third Miss? It was all for the Crown Prince to see. If there was no Crown Prince, what would Xia mean to her?" Nanny Qi continued to compliment.
Liu nodded and said proudly, "That's right, in the Marquis' heart, my Ke'er and Lan'er are definitely more important.
Last time, when it came to Ke'er, the Marquis was furious, but in the end, he let Ke'er go. When the Marquis saw that Ke'er was injured, he didn't even mention the incident again when he came in.
"Madam is right. The Marquis has always loved our Fourth Young Master and Third Young Miss the most." Madam Qi agreed with this.
At that time, the fourth young master hired someone to assassinate the prince. Although he was injured in the end and the marquis was very angry, he did not pursue the matter at all.
The Marquis and his wife had been in a cold war for a while, but they were coaxed into peace with just a few soft words from his wife.
For the sake of the fourth young master's marriage, he registered the Xia family, whom he disliked, in the family tree without any hesitation.
The Crown Prince's wife really has to thank Madam for this matter. If it weren't for Madam, how could she have been included in the Shen family's genealogy so easily.
Liu was temporarily deprived of her right to be the housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion, but she was not panicked at all.
Although she is now asked by Marquis Wu'an to reflect in Huarui Hall, she is still the wife of the Marquis Wu'an. In this backyard, no one can get past her except the old lady.
There is no need to worry about the Second Madam. Zheng is a smart person and will never monopolize her power as housekeeper.
Now that she has completely broken off relations with her stepson Shen Nian, there is no need for her to continue playing the role of a good stepmother, and Xia Shi will never get any favor from her again.
Liu thought gloomily about the future.
Shen Lan was throwing a tantrum in her own yard.
Marquis Wu'an confined her to her residence and sent people to guard the gate of the courtyard. No matter how she threatened or bribed him, he would not let her go out.
The old woman guarding the gate was also scared. The two maids who guarded the ancestral hall and let Chen Lan out without permission had been sent to the laundry room by Marquis Wu'an. They dared not commit crimes again.
Chen Lan couldn't go out, so she could only vent her anger by smashing things in her room. She had changed the tea set in the room three times in the past three days.
When Liu heard what Shen Lan did, she was also very troubled. This child just couldn't keep his temper, otherwise he wouldn't have been fooled by that wild girl.
Liu's hatred for Xia Tian increased even more at this moment.
Xia Tian didn't know that she had reached the point where Liu hated her so much that she gnashed her teeth and wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.
Liu originally thought that marrying a village girl of low birth would suppress Chen Nian, but who knew that this girl was actually an untamed wolf cub who not only bit whoever he caught, but also jumped up and down and bit her.
Since it is of no use and would be a nuisance if kept, we had better get rid of it as soon as possible.
Maybe after getting rid of her, it would be easier for her to clean up without Chen Nian messing things up!
Even Madam Qi could sense the murderous intent in Liu's eyes, and she became even more cautious in serving Liu.
Although she had watched Liu grow up, she always knew that her young lady was not as kind as she appeared.
If she made the mistake, Liu probably wouldn't have remembered their friendship.
The next morning, Chen Nian took half a day off. He had originally agreed to accompany Xia Tian to pay his respects to the old lady in the morning, but Xia Tian changed his mind in the morning and asked him not to go and wait for a while.
She said that if the old lady punished her to kneel again, she would go to save her. If she didn't punish her, she wouldn't need to go, so as not to anger the old lady again.
Shen Nian thought about it and agreed to her proposal.
In the morning, Xiatian still got up early, had breakfast and then went to pay his respects to the old lady.
As a result, the old lady must have been almost venting her anger today, so she actually let her go and didn't ask her to continue kneeling at the gate of the yard.
These days she knelt at the gate of the old lady's yard. All the maids coming and going gathered around to watch, and many of them gossiped about her in private.
The old ladies had heard about it, and because she had been so submissive these past few days, they spared her for now. "If you continue to be sharp-tongued and have no manners, then it won't be as simple as kneeling as punishment."
The old lady even scolded her before she died, so Xia Tian naturally agreed obediently.
By the way, I'd like to present to you the fifty copies of the Heart Sutra that she had copied.
Seeing that her attitude was quite good, the old lady let her go back early.
After leaving the yard, Xia Tian and Ning Xue both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Madam, do you think the old lady will not punish you again?" Ningxue asked a little worriedly.
