The expression on Jiang's mother's face froze when she heard this, and she quickly said: "How is this possible? Why are you so ignorant?"
Father Jiang pursed his lips, but he didn't say what he wanted to say.
Jiang's mother said anxiously: "Now that your father and I are living here, you have brought Sister-in-law Lan and her family back and forth, and I don't know how much you have helped. I feel very uneasy.
After all, you are a girl from the Xie family now, and you always seem to be using the Xie family's money to support us. This is very inappropriate! Originally, I wanted to tell you not to ask Sister-in-law Lan to send things to you again.
Your father can make bamboo baskets and can support us two. As long as I can see you from time to time, that will be great."
However, Xie Songhua couldn't help but push the two of them onto the chair, then took a step back, knelt down and kowtowed to them three times in a polite manner.
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang were startled and quickly tried to help her up, but Aunt Lan held her down.
"Father, mother, you raised me so much that I didn't even kowtow to you when I got married. I was unfilial. I am the one who makes up for this lunch box now."
"This...this is impossible!"
Jiang's mother was a little embarrassed, "You... you are the eldest lady of the Xie family, how can you kowtow to us!"
"If mother says that, my mother... really doesn't know what to do." Xie Songhua's eyes began to sour involuntarily, "Don't my parents recognize me now?"
"You..."
"Mrs. Jiang's family," Aunt Lan spoke up, "there was no place for slaves to talk here originally, but I have been with the girl since she returned to Xie's house.
I know the girl best. Although the girl has entered the Xie family and entered the Xie family's family tree, she has always had you and your wife in her heart. You here don't recognize her as your daughter, and the wife over there only has the third girl in her heart.
You let the girl go..."
She choked up as she spoke, "Where do you want the girl to find your mother? To be honest, I have been following the girl for so long, and I only act like a child when I see her in front of your second elder. Before, I
The Xie family has always been well-behaved and never argued with others. It’s just that a child without a mother will become sensible earlier.”
These words made Jiang's mother feel like her heart was being rubbed. How could she say such words of refusal?
In fact, during this period, every time Aunt Lan came, Jiang's mother would ask about Xie Songhua's days at the Xie family.
Naturally, she also knew that Mrs. Qi was not kind to her, and there was no close relationship between mother and daughter.
Seeing my daughter like this now makes me feel even more distressed.
She quickly leaned over and helped Xie Songhua up, "Okay, okay, it's my mother. Since you call me mother, I will always be your mother. It's just a matter of rules and etiquette. If you can, just don't do it. Just in case someone knows about it one day."
Yes, you just said that you treat us as relatives."
Xie Songhua finally felt a little more comfortable. She nodded repeatedly and said, "You all listen to me."
Jiang's father was also a little sad, "I never thought that our beautiful girl would become someone else's wife."
Xie Songhua said with a smile: "That's still my father and my mother's sweetheart!"
"Okay, okay," Jiang's mother suddenly thought when talking about this, "Since today is Guining's day, why didn't you have dinner at Xie's house? And... where is that... prince?"
"It happened that the prince was busy with something and didn't have dinner at Xie's house, so I thought of taking this opportunity to come here to have a meal with my parents. Anyway, there is nothing going on in the house, so I can eat here
After dinner, let’s go back.”
Hearing what she said, Jiang's mother was overjoyed, "Okay, okay, I'll prepare it right now, old man, hurry up! Go see what other cooked food is on the street, buy some, and buy some chili peppers, Yao Niang loves spicy food!"
"
Xie Songhua looked at his parents who were busy, and quickly asked Aunt Lan to help remove the outer clothes. He turned around and took a piece of Jiang Mu's coat and put it on, "I'll help Auntie."
Originally Jiang's mother wanted to refuse, but thinking of what Aunt Cai Lan said just now, she smiled and agreed, "Go and choose the basket of vegetables."
Aunt Lan smiled and said, "Then I'll light the fire."
Ding Xiang hurriedly went to fetch water.
A small courtyard quickly became lively.
Aunt Lan looked at the mother and daughter's heads over there, mumbling together, and her eyes couldn't help but look at Xiaozhu, who was chopping vegetables, with a gentle look in her eyes.
After finishing the meal, it was already dark outside. Thinking of how happy his parents were today, Xie Songhua's face felt relaxed.
"The Jiang family's husband and wife are really honest people. They refuse to ask for the girl's money. The girl has money but she can't give it away."
Hearing this, Xie Songhua smiled and said: "I was really worried about this at first, but now I am calm. My parents have never enjoyed the luxury of silks and satins in their entire lives.
If I pile everything in front of them now, I'm afraid they won't be used to it, and I also understand them. Instead of busy giving them material satisfaction, it's better to make them feel at ease. Anyway, I'm here to watch them and protect them secretly.
Just leave it alone.”
Aunt Lan thought about how she had gotten along with Jiang's parents during this period, and she felt that what her girl said made sense.
In fact, when he was with Jiang's mother today, Xie Songhua saw that she wanted to say something several times, but in the end she didn't.
Xie Songhua also knew it without her having to say it.
As a mother who always cares about her, what else could she want to know?
But is it okay to get married now? How does her husband treat her?
But Jiang's mother knew very well that her daughter's husband-in-law was no better than others, and she was afraid that what she asked would make her daughter feel uncomfortable.
Alas, there is only Jiang Mu in this world, and all she thinks about is herself.
The house she bought was a bit far away from the palace.
When I came back, I found that Xiao Yu had already returned.
Yinghua and Taxue were guarding the door.
Cheng'er's sharp eyes saw Xie Songhua at a glance, "The princess is back."
As soon as she spoke, Yinghua and Taxue rushed over to greet her at the door, "The prince is here, and he just asked about the princess!"
The two people had smiles on their faces, and nothing seemed unnatural, but Bi Tao immediately came over and squeezed the two people away. She and Ding Xiang helped Xie Songhua in.
The two of them looked like old hens guarding their chickens, which was really funny.
"I looked at you, girl, but you didn't come back. When I saw the prince coming, I almost pounced on you like a fly seeing shit. The prince said he didn't want anyone to serve him in the house, and he was still standing guard at the door!"
Bi Tao's voice was not low, and the expressions on the faces of Yinghua and Taxue who were following behind were a little ugly.
Xie Songhua also couldn't laugh or cry. This Bi Tao could only be buried by the two of them. Why did it feel like Xiao Yu was also buried by him?
He also thought that a practicing master like him would probably have much better hearing than ordinary people. This silly girl should not offend her parents.
When he let them all go down, he entered the house.
Xiao Yu was already familiar with it. He was sitting on the Arhat bed reading a book wearing only his middle coat, with his long hair disheveled and still a little damp.
Xie Songhua frowned and said, "Your Majesty, after all, asked someone to help you dry your hair. It's winter now, and it's so cold that it's easy to get sick."
Xiao Yu seemed stunned for a moment when he heard this, then glanced at his hair and coughed lightly, "It doesn't matter."
Unexpectedly, Xie Songhua handed over a fine cotton towel.
