"What's wrong?" Old Lady Xue asked with a hint of anxiety in her voice. The third wife stood up from the old woman's arms and sat on the bed, looking at the eldest wife with a smile that was not a smile.

"Mom, what's wrong?" The two ladies stood up and quickly walked over to the eldest wife, bending over to look at her. Another two ladies stood up, but only stood behind the other two. "Mother, are you alright?" These were the two concubines of Master Xue's two daughters.

"What happened to your mother?" The old lady was about to stand up by the bed when the third wife and her servants rushed forward to help her up. The maidservants swarmed in to clear up the debris on the ground, surrounding Lady Xue.

"Grandmother, don't worry." "Auntie, help Grandma back to her seat." A young lady about fourteen or fifteen years old stood by Mrs. Xue's side, taking care of her.

"Mother must have been working hard recently. Everyone spread out to let Mother have some fresh air." He had been exceptionally calm at such a young age, and his words had concealed the impoliteness of his mother. Mrs. Xue had given birth to a good daughter.

It took a long time for Mrs. Xue to recover her wits. Her face was pale white, and she stared at me with a complicated look in her eyes. She stood up and walked over to Mrs. Xue. In the Xue Clan and the inner courtyard, changing one's dress was just an excuse. Wanting to speak to Old Lady Xue was the real thing.

"Look at my wives, each one of them is more charming than the last." Old Mrs. Xue smiled as she complained to her mother.

"It's your love." Mother smiled.

"Little San's daughter-in-law will accompany your sister. I'll go find a dress for your eldest sister-in-law." Old Mrs. Xue patted the back of third wife's hand.

"Mother, you are not allowed to give that peacock feather to eldest sister-in-law!" Third Wife pouted and said, "Mother promised me that I would give that dress to Sister Lin." As the third wife spoke, the servants in the room could not hold back their laughter. "It's still our third wife who's the smartest!" A mother beside Old Lady Xue said with a smile. The atmosphere in the room immediately became a lot better.

"Sister Lu, come and help your grandmother." Mrs. Xue beckoned to the ladies, and the older lady came out, blessed herself in front of her mother, and, after meeting me, followed her mother.

"This is our family's eldest miss." When the third wife saw her mother looking at the back of Sister Lu, she said, "It's what our old lady likes the most." Mrs. Three covered her mouth with the handkerchief and laughed.

"So young, yet so steady and so filial." His mother also had an admiring look in her eyes. "Naturally, it's because I'm valued by my elders."

"It's a pity that they don't look as good as expected." The third wife put on a very regretful expression, but could not conceal the smile on her face.

"Choosing a wife now all depends on virtue." His mother scolded Little Lu softly.

"Who can compare to our Yuanyuan, who has such a face?" Mrs. Three smiles at me, and my mother smiles with relief.

Glad? Glad how I look? Even standing in the middle of a group of Xue Clan ladies, my appearance can't be considered as outstanding. The Wang family had once heard their mother ridicule the princess. The man was delicate and pretty, the woman was pretty, their daughter had already broken through the threshold of the Wang family before the matchmaker even reached adulthood, yet the man could not even marry his wife. Who would dare to be rude to the royal family?

Little Lu came from Beijing, so she knew the Wang family's style. Mrs. Xue must not be distracted by my beauty. Girls are mentioned either because they are beautiful or because I look like someone!

Wife Xue and Xue Ning Lu helped Old Lady Xue out, one on the left and one on the right. Their expressions were all very serious, until they saw Old Lady Xue helping them out.

"Come, good child!" Mrs. Xue waved at me, and Mrs. Xue took a pair of glasses from the case and handed them to her. Mrs. Xue put them on and looked me up and down carefully. Old Lady Xue smiled even wider.

Mrs. Xue was clearly no longer shocked, but she put her hand on the arm of the arhat chair and frowned at me.

I looked over at Miss Xue, who was wearing a bun and a bouquet of ambrosia. She wore an apricot-colored half-arm over her white tunic and a gold collar around her neck. She had a gentle smile at the corners of her mouth, like a pear blossom in early spring.

"This is my eldest granddaughter." Old Lady Xue used her other hand to pull Xue Ning Lu forward. Xue Ning revealed a shy smile and said, "I'm fifteen years old. May I ask Miss Yang?"

"Elder sister." "I bowed." "Sister!" Big Miss Xue immediately followed to pay her respects. The maidservant behind her brought up a tray with a chicken wings wooden box and a handkerchief. She took the box and handed it to me with both hands. He took the handkerchief and said, "I made this. Sister will take it and use it if you don't mind." It was an azure bamboo that stood proudly between the rocks. He had a bit of character.

"Go and bring your sister to meet our family's monkeys." Old Mrs. Xue said with a smile.

"Did Grandmother say we were monkeys?" A little girl with a pair of wings on her back asked as she stared at Ning Lin with a pair of large, sparkling eyes.

"Your mother is a monkey, but aren't you a monkey as well?" Old Lady Xue teased Ning Lin.

"Then is my dad a monkey as well?" Ning Lin pursed her lips, as if she was about to cry. "Everyone was amused by her. Ning Lin, come to aunt. " Previously, Ning Lin had been surrounded by the Miss of the Xue Clan. Now that Ning Lin had stood out by herself, it was impossible for her mother not to make some special movements.

"Aunt." Ning Lin obediently saluted with her short legs. Her mother turned to look at Third Madam. "I don't think Ning Lin is like you." Third Wife scolded, "Nonsense! Isn't it good to be like me? "

"Ning Lin said she looks like your mother, okay?" His mother took out a pair of small golden hairpins. On them were a pair of butterflies that were ready to fly away. The daughter-in-law beside Ning Lin came forward to greet them.

Ning Lin frowned as she stared at her mother. She tilted her head and thought for a long time. "I want to be like Sister Lu." Ning Lin smiled as she hugged her neck. Beside her, a slightly younger young lady crossed her hands on her waist and asked, "Xiao Budian, why don't you want to be like me?"

"Cool, don't be rude." Mrs. Xue walked over and took the hand of the young lady, "This is my fourth daughter, Ning Shuang. This is my second daughter, Ning Zero. My third daughter, Ning Xia." Xue Ningshuang's eyes were not as gentle as Ning Lu's, but they carried a bit of the heroic air of a man, very much like Xue Dalang's. The other two girls were mistresses born from the master's family. Their faces were more beautiful than the first lady's, but their movements were a little more restrained.

"Ning Shuang, you want to make your little sister from the Yang family laugh?" Mrs. Xue scolded her softly.

"Ning Lu, you want to make your little sister, the Yang family, laugh at you like that!" She even made a face at Ning Shuang. She smiled and went to pinch Ning Lin's face, while Ning Lin hid behind her. "Aunt, save me!"

"Auntie, save me!" Ning Lin imitated her again with her childish voice, causing everyone to burst out into laughter. Han Ning stood there covering her stomach, and Mrs. Xue couldn't help but cover her mouth with her handkerchief. The Third Madam stood in the middle of the hall with her handkerchief and pretended to wipe away her tears. This daughter of mine was raised by her elder sister-in-law. " Old Mrs. Xue laughed and fell back on the seat beside her. Her mother was helping her to calm down.

A maidservant dressed in green walked into the room. She stood beside the eldest wife and spoke a few words to her. The eldest wife then stepped forward to stand in front of Old Lady Xue.
