As Old Mrs. Xiao picked up the silver note and looked at it, she politely said...
"Your Highness is too kind. Our family is so fortunate to have such a connection with you!"
Please go back and thank the princess for me!
"Don't worry, from now on, if our second son dares to anger the princess, I'll be the first to punish him!"
With a hundred taels of silver in her pocket, Old Madam Xiao sold Xiao Yi without batting an eye!
Xiao Yan and Xie Yujiao echoed the sentiment.
"That's right! It's the greatest blessing my brother has ever received to win the princess's favor. If he doesn't appreciate it, none of us will forgive him!"
"We'll visit the princess when we have the chance!"
"That's all easy to say. As long as you're doing well, then our princess's efforts won't have been in vain!"
Green Willow was very satisfied with the family's attitude, which gave her an explanation to Chu Mingzhu when she returned!
With the matter settled, Green Willow rose to take her leave.
Grandma Xiao was eager to take Green Willow around the village so that everyone would know that her family was going to become in-laws with a noble family in the capital. However, Green Willow seemed to be in a hurry to get on her way, so Grandma Xiao didn't dare to keep her there.
However, she still accompanied Green Willow and her group to the village entrance before returning. On the way, she naturally showed off to everyone she met that Xiao Yi had become a general and was going to marry a princess in the capital. Her family was going to prosper!
Seeing Grandma Xiao's smug face, some people were envious, some were jealous, and some wanted to go up and say a few words to her. Grandma Xiao turned her head away, ignored them, and went home with her head held high.
Once home, the group eagerly opened the boxes and examined each item.
"Wow! This is bird's nest!"
I've heard from wealthy families in the city that this stuff is incredibly good! I've heard that ladies and young women drink it every day, saying it's good for beauty, skin, and overall health. It's truly a wonderful thing!
"Liu, go and stew a bowl of soup for the three of us!"
Xiao Yan couldn't wait to instruct Widow Liu to stew bird's nest for her. She was getting married soon, so of course she had to improve her complexion.
Widow Liu wanted to see what else was available, but when Xiao Yan gave the order, she was reluctant but dared not disobey, so she took the bird's nest to stew.
"Wait a minute! Who told you to take it like that!"
Are you trying to sneak a bite? This is such a precious thing, how could you possibly eat it!
When Old Mrs. Xiao saw that Widow Liu was about to take the bird's nest box directly, she scolded her.
Widow Liu did indeed intend to do that, but how could she admit it after being exposed by Old Mrs. Xiao? She glanced at Old Mr. Xiao and said with a wronged expression...
"I never intended to steal anything, don't make baseless accusations! I may work for your family, but I didn't sell anything to you. Making baseless accusations against me won't work!"
Without waiting for Old Mrs. Xiao's reply, Widow Liu picked up a small handful of bird's nest that Old Mrs. Xiao had given her and went to the kitchen!
Old Mrs. Xiao was known for her loose tongue, and when Widow Liu denied it and even retorted, she immediately wanted to put her hands on her hips and yell back, but Old Mr. Xiao pressed her down.
"Alright, it's a great day today, so shut up!"
Let's see what else is in the other boxes.
"Wow! These pastries look like flowers, they look delicious!"
Xie Yujiao opened the pastry box, and boxes of all kinds of pastries came into view. They were all petal-shaped, and in different colors. They were soft and fluffy, and exuded a sweet aroma.
Xie Yujiao couldn't wait to grab a piece and put it in her mouth.
"Mmm, Mother's pastries are not only beautiful, but also very fragrant. Your grandson will definitely love them!"
Grandma Xiao and Xiao Yan also quickly grabbed a few pieces and started eating.
Old Xiao also picked up a piece and tried it.
Xie Yujiao's eyes darted around and she said...
"Mother, our second brother is now a general, and he's going to marry a princess. From now on, we'll be a real official family!"
It was your foresight to divorce Xie Yushu early on, otherwise my second brother wouldn't have had such a good marriage!
Tomorrow I'll bring two boxes of pastries back to my parents' home to show them that our family has prospered. I want to make my parents happy and let them know that they didn't marry their daughter to the wrong family!
Furthermore, I also told my ungrateful uncle that Xie Yushu was divorced because she wasn't destined for wealth and status! She wasn't good enough for my second brother!
"A country girl like her is not worthy of being a general's wife! She's not even worthy of carrying your shoes, wouldn't you say!"
Grandma Xiao was reluctant to part with two boxes of such good pastries, but then she thought that now that her family had become rich, it would be a waste not to kick that little bitch Xie Yushu while she was down. So she gritted her teeth and agreed!
Upon hearing this, Xie Yujiao was overjoyed. This Xie Yushu had always been so domineering. This time, she would see how she could crush her under her feet!
Xie Yujiao felt secretly pleased at the thought of Xie Yushu kneeling in front of her and trying to please her!
This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law really showed the full extent of how petty people can get away with something!
Xiao Yan had no intention of specifically targeting Xie Yushu. If someone wanted to deal with Xie Yushu, she was happy to watch the show. If no one mentioned it, she considered herself superior to Xie Yushu and wouldn't bother to cause her any trouble.
Of course, it's also possible that they're afraid to confront them because they can't win!
She now values her marriage more.
So Xiao Yan ate two pieces of pastry, wiped her hands, and went to look at the fabric.
"Wow! This is definitely fabric from the capital. The pattern is so beautiful!"
"Mother, I want both of them!"
Xiao Yan picked up the two bolts of cloth she had chosen and placed them on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Upon seeing this, Xie Yujiao hurriedly reached into the box to grab some fabric.
"These two colors suit me perfectly, I'll take this one!"
"These two colors are just right for making two long gowns for our voyage, and the remaining fabric can be used to make two little clothes for your precious grandson!"
Xiao Yan was displeased to see that she had snatched four horses at once, so she went and grabbed two more.
"This has a festive color, which will be perfect for my wedding."
After the two of them finished grabbing it, there were still two batches of black, sky blue, and crescent white horses left in the box. Old Mrs. Xiao scolded them.
