Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Fortune Is Not A Misfortune
Translator: 549690339
The Chu family was dreaming. Their son was dead and they wanted to drag him down with them. Of course, the Wang family would not allow it.
Wang Qiong was already sixteen years old. In another three years, she would be nineteen years old. Would she still be able to get married?
Even if she could get married, would she be able to find a good family?
They were all widowed, and the market for remarrying was not very big. The conditions could not be compared to the first engagement. The Wang family felt that they were already at a disadvantage. The children of both families had only met twice, and their daughter had lost half of her life. Who could give her face?
The Chu and Wang families had completely fallen out. Before Chu Silang’s funeral, the two families had already started a war of words. Their friendship of more than ten years was gone just like that.
The death of Imperial Consort Liu caused Jiankang City to be like a pool of stagnant water. However, this stalemate was broken by the Chu and Wang families. Now, the matter of these two families had almost become the only pastime for people after tea and meals. It was updated every day.
Xiao Baoxin knew the feeling of being ridiculed.
Under Xie Wan’s lead, she had a good relationship with Chu Lingzi and Wang Qiang. They also exchanged letters and could be considered close friends. Xiao Baoxin had the heart to go comfort Wang Qiong, but this matter was at the peak of the storm and it was not good to rashly go to Ren Fu.
Originally, she had good intentions, but she was afraid that in the eyes of others, they would misunderstand that she was going to watch others make a fool of themselves.
After discussing with Xie Wan, they contacted Chu Lingzi and the three of them sent a visiting card to the Wang family.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs expected, she was rejected. Wang Qiong didn’t want to see anyone.
When the three of them met, Chu Lingzi blamed herself. In fact, not everyone in the Chu family agreed with the Chu family’s eldest son’s behavior. After all, they were on good terms with the Wang family. Doing so would hurt the relationship between the two families.
However, Chu Silang’s mother was the direct eldest branch of the Wang family and had always been the one who held the fort in the Chu family. Ever since the death of the Chu family’s master, the Wang family had always been in charge of the food, and his sons only followed their mother’s orders. At this moment, the Wang family had lost their beloved son, so they didn’t care about the obstruction of their clansmen. They chose a path and walked to the end.
Wang Qiang was someone she had personally recognized, and they had been affectionate in the past. Otherwise, why would the fourth son of the Chu family marry a girl from the Wang family’s side branch?
Even if she had to repay her kindness, she would have to keep her chastity for her son for three years first. She could not think of climbing up the social ladder when she could not get married, but she could not retreat and wish that she did not know him after he died.
Although Chu Lingzi was a member of the Chu family, she had been on good terms with Wang Qiang since she was young. Now that her brother had died, she was sad, but they were separated by a room. They only met a few times a year, and even if they were of the same kind, she still favored Wang Qiang.
The Chu and Wang families had fallen out, and she was actually the one who was in the most difficult position.
She had wanted to be her sister-in-law in a few months, but who would have thought that they would become enemies now?
She wanted to see Wang Qiong more than anyone else. Even if she scolded her in front of her, she was willing to endure it. However, Wang Qiang did not see her, so she blamed herself even more.
Originally, they had gathered together because they were worried about Wang Qiang, but they did not know what to do. In the end, Chu Lingzi blamed herself so much that her cute little apple face had become as thin as a knife. Xiao Baoxin and Xie Wan were busy comforting Chu Lingzi.
“As people grow up, they have more and more troubles.”Chu Lingzi sighed,”What will happen to Aunt Fifteen in the future…”
Such a good elder sister, beautiful and dignified, reasonable and reasonable, was at the best of her life, yet she had become a widow. If she fell out with her in-laws, it would be even harder to talk about marriage in the future.
“This world is too harsh for women.”Xie Wan said.
Although she was young, she was extremely intelligent. She had experienced the cold and warmth of human feelings since she was young. Her father died young and Lady Yuan stayed alone in an empty room. The hardships of this were not worth mentioning to outsiders.
Xiao Baoxin:” Perhaps the Wang family has many things to do recently. It’s inconvenient for Fifteenth Aunt to receive guests. Why don’t Seventh Aunt go and take a look another day? If there’s anything we can help with, we can discuss it again.”.”
Chu Lingzi could hear Xiao Baoxin’s unfinished meaning. It was really inconvenient for her to go with her identity as a member of the Chu family.
If the two families had been on good terms in the past, why would she need a visiting card? The Wang family had always been welcoming. However, things were different now.
“Yes, Seventh Madame, you have to tell me after you go. I’m also worried about Fifteenth Madame.”
Xie Wan nodded.
Out of the three of them, she had a cold temperament and prided herself on being able to see through human emotions. Chu Lingzi was an emotional person. Her emotions were always greater than her rationality and she was mostly pessimistic when she encountered problems. However, Xiao Baoxin was different. She had always raised problems and solved them simply and straightforwardly.
The two of them came out of the Chu family’s house and sat intimately in a car.
“I don’t know how to resolve this matter with Aunt Fifteen. It was probably impossible for the Chu and Wang Families to return to their original state.”Xie Wan said faintly.
“We’ll do our best and leave it to fate.” Xiao Baoxin was open-minded. “The so-called disharmony is only between the elders. They are all for their own children. It’s fine for us juniors to interact with each other. If Aunt Fifteen and Aunt Six are estranged because of this, then…There was nothing much to say.
We can’t change the minds of the elders.”
“It’s just that it will be even harder for Aunt Fifteen in the future.”
Xie Wan could not help but think of her brother when she heard this. In the past, she had inadvertently heard her mother and grandmother talking. It meant that her brother’s health was not good and he did not want to burden others…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that time, she was just sad for her brother and her heart ached for him.
But now, when she was facing her good friend, Lady Xiao, her heart suddenly felt suffocated.
She naturally hoped that her brother would live to a hundred years old. However, her brother had just caught a cold the day before yesterday, and the entire house was filled with the fragrance of medicine. Today, when they sat together and talked about Aunt Fifteen, her heart was always twisted.
“Big lady…”
With Xie Wan holding his hand tightly, Xiao Baoxin naturally heard what she was thinking. She just smiled nonchalantly. What could he say?
“You, don’t let your imagination run wild. There must be a reason why Aunt Fifteen doesn’t want to see us. In the future, when they met, they would naturally be able to talk things out.”
Xie Wan wanted to say something but stopped. She swallowed all the complicated emotions in her heart.
“My brother is very kind. In the future, whether it’s brother, me, mother, or grandmother, we will all treat Eldest Lady well. You and brother must also be happy and grow old together.”
Xiao Baoxin couldn’t help but laugh. This Lil ‘Miss was probably going to get sick.
” The two of us definitely know each other. Look at how great my body is. I’ve trained since I was young.” When I marry him in the future, I’ll let your brother practice boxing with me. He’s weak and hasn’t been through the wind and rain. After three or two years of practice, he’ll definitely be stronger than the average person. Just you wait.”
These words made Xie Wan dumbfounded. Was that so?
This, this scene was a little different from what she had imagined…
But what if it worked?
Xie Wan was already fantasizing about her brother’s tall and thin body training in the summer and winter, and then training into a burly man.
He shivered, feeling a little scared.
This… Whether it was a blessing or a curse, it could not be avoided. Brother likes Lady Xiao, and Lady Xiao seems to be interested in you, so let them be.
Bless them!
