"Mom is so wise." Xie Xuan said quickly, "But... I thought it was a little strange earlier, but just now, I suddenly figured it out."

"Oh?" Mrs. Xiao raised an eyebrow with interest, "You said to me."

Xie Xuan actually didn't understand it suddenly. She had just felt that Mrs. Xiao's attitude towards Xie Yan made her strange, and she had already started to think about it. "To put it simply, isn't it the enemy of the enemy or a friend?" There was an inseparable knot between Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Lu. Even though for many reasons, they were not immortal, they were afraid that they would be destined to be disgusted in this life. And since ancient times, which wife has really liked her husband's concubine son? Moreover, her son is still young, but the concubine son has grown up, and she is still very promising? I believe that compared to Mrs. Xiao, Xie Yan is a thorn in Mrs. Lu's heart.

When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she snorted, "It turns out that in your eyes, your mother is just a calculating person?"

Xie Xuan quickly laughed, "Where is it! A Luanruo said something wrong, just teach me!"

Mrs. Xiao glared at her angrily, then said in a slow tone, "What you said is not bad, but not everything. First, your third brother was a good person when he was alive. To be honest, I had inherited her love back then. Second, your third brother is also a sensible person. Over the years, he has been by your father's side and helped your father and brothers a lot. Your father and brother have repeatedly explained to me to treat him better. In fact, how can they explain? I have eyes and can see clearly, okay?"

Xie Xuan quickly said a few flattering words. Mrs. Xiao snorted and turned her head and said, "It's smoky here, let's go out!" Everyone in the kitchen was doing their best, so Mrs. Xiao was relieved.

However, when he walked out of the kitchen, Mrs. Xiao said again, "Speaking of all, your third brother is also a pitiful person. His mother left early and no one took care of him. She didn't even have a preference. When asked what he liked to eat, everything was good."

Xie Xuan was stunned for a moment before she realized that her mother was answering her earlier question. However...it seems that a person's encounter often depends on herself!

Today's family dinner is set up in the open pavilion in the garden, and the scenery is visible as soon as the curtain moves. Because it is a family dinner, it is only a couple of men and women, but it is not separated by a screen.

When everyone sat down according to the main and secondary, Mrs. Lu and Xie Chen did not arrive. Mrs. Xiao seemed to have no concern, but her eyes were a little cold, but she still called Madam Lin to invite her in person.

When Madam Lin came back, she still disappeared from Madam Lu and Xie Chen. After that, Madam Chang, who had to be used by Madam Lu, was also the one whom Madam Lu had to use.

Madam Chang respectfully bowed to the people present, and then bowed to Mrs. Xiao and said, "Our wife said, thank you for your kindness. Originally, she should have come here to welcome the prince and the third master today, but she is a widowed woman with an ominous body. If she brings bad luck to you, it would be a great sin. She originally wanted to let Master Qi come to see her brother, but who knew that Master Qi accidentally got cold last night. After returning from school today, she started to heat up and asked the doctor to see it. She said she was very careful and could not blow the cool breeze anymore. Without any choice, she had to brush her good intentions and ask Mrs. Daniel to ask her to blame her for a lot. "

Mrs. Xiao nodded with a cold smile, "I understand. Go back and tell your wife that she is taking good care of Master Qi, thank you for your hard work."

Madam Chang responded to "Yes" and stepped back.

The atmosphere was a little cold.

With a gesture from Mrs. Xiao, Madam Lin called the girls to start serving the dishes. She looked at the girls who were wearing the same style, holding trays in their hands, lined up in a string, and came in a series of fish.

After a while, the originally empty round table became lively.

Although it is not as complicated as the palace banquet, it is also carefully prepared by Mrs. Xiao. It is all exquisite food and it also means taking care of everyone's tastes.

Mrs. Xiao has long been familiar with these things and is naturally thoughtful.

When the dishes were all over, the maids held pots to pour wine. Madam Lin personally poured a glass for Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao raised her wine glass and chuckled softly, "Today's family dinner is to welcome our uncle and the third brothers, and the second is to practice it for our third masters. Although our family is different from each other, I believe everyone is in the same heart. I respect everyone on behalf of the Duke of the State. Everyone drinks this cup, and those who stay and those who are about to leave will have their own place."

Mrs. Xiao’s words were a little profound, but before everyone could find it, she had already done it for the sake of respect.

Naturally, everyone on the table quickly followed suit.

Xie Xuan also took a sip of the fruit wine that Madam Li specially changed to her in the cup. The sweet and mellow taste, she glanced at her mother quietly and sighed in her heart.

Mrs. Lu and Xie Chen did not come, but Mrs. Xiao didn't say anything, but she was happy in her heart. In addition, when Xie Heng came back today, she was already happy. With her driving and others catered to her, the atmosphere during the meal was very good.

After the banquet, it was late at night.

Mrs. Xiao drank two more glasses on the table and was a little dizzy. Although she had never lost her composure, she sat on a chair, only moving her mouth and not doing anything.

Xie Xuan helped send the third master's family away, and accompanied Xie Yan and Xie Zhen out of Changxuan. Seeing them heading towards the east courtyard, when she turned around, Madam Lin and Qiuli were already supporting Mrs. Xiao from left to right. She didn't seem drunk yet, but she smiled slightly, but her expression was much softer than ever before.

Xie Heng sighed, "A Luan! I'll send my mother back to the main courtyard! You and your sister-in-law will go back to your room first!"

Whether it was Xie Xuan or Li, they looked at each other and nodded silently.

Madam Lin and Qiu Li have helped Mrs. Xiao out of Changxuan, and Xie Heng hurriedly followed closely.

What Li was thinking, Xie Xuan didn't know, but Xie Xuan knew very well, but Mrs. Xiao was extremely self-disciplined, so she naturally wouldn't be really drunk. However, she had a lot of things to avoid everyone and talk to her elder brother, but it was true.

Her elder brother sent them away because they didn't want them to know what they were going to say.

Xie Xuan's eyes flashed, and she helped Li's hand. The two of them walked out together, "I think my sister-in-law has also had two drinks, isn't it a problem?"

Mrs. Li shook her head gently, "It's okay."

Xie Xuan pursed her lips and smiled. She remembered the day her elder brother got married. Xie Zan teased him that he should ask the new sister-in-law to help stop the wine, which must be one. Why did she forget that her sister-in-law doesn't show off on weekdays, but she is afraid she is a huge number?

Thinking of this, Xie Xuan couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Li grew up on the nine sides and was not bound by the rules and regulations of the capital. Only when he was in the boudoir, he knew her elder brother, and his second brother and others knew her a lot early in the morning. He saw that he did not look down on him at all, but instead he was respectful.
