Chapter 426 Strange
Chapter 426 ·Super
As the wedding date approached, Mrs. Tang's spirit fell on her granddaughter's marriage, and she was not as concerned about Xiang's affairs as before.
On the contrary, Bai Rongxuan noticed something strange.
In his previous life, Aunt Xiang jumped the most at Tang Xueping's wedding, and was very popular, making her dizzy and had no time to care about the other Huangs. She even took this opportunity to open up her social circle and soon gained a foothold in the eldest son's house. Seeing that she could do things, Tang Xuerong was getting older, and with a wave of her hand, she handed the power of the housekeeper to her with confidence. Since then, Aunt Xiang has gradually become cold to the second son, not as warm as before, and has no respect for Mrs. Tang.
Although Huang was angry, he couldn't say anything, so he could only turn a blind eye.
As soon as Aunt Xiang gained power, she immediately began to manage the affairs of the inner courtyard of the chief's house with great fanfare. The old man left by Mrs. Zhang was swept out of the door with various excuses, and the whole yard was arranged by her confidant. After everything was settled, she began to settle Tang Xueli.
When Tang Xueli was housekeeper, although the two of them did not have any obvious moves, Xiang Niang always felt that she was suppressed by her. Moreover, Tang Xueli relied on the support of Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Huang, who had the second wife, to compete for the first place in everything, but instead put herself aside.
Now that Aunt Xiang is in power, her son can stand on his own, how could she be polite to Tang Xueli?
That's why Tang Xueli married an elderly widower.
When Bai Rongxuan learned the news, she couldn't understand Xiang's behavior. She left no room for anything to drive Tang Xueli into the abyss that would never be restored. What benefits could she get? It was not until she lived in the courtyard of Sihe in Peking that she accidentally heard the mother and daughter quarrel next door, and then she suddenly realized.
Next door lived a family who fled from the Northeast, all crowded in a small room, quarreling all day long, and no one around looked down on their family.
The hostess of this family is Xu Xian, who gave birth to a son for the male owner. He is very tough and has a hard waist at home. Even the male owner dares not refute it. The woman looks down on the two daughters left by her husband's wife, and because her family is not easy, she wants to marry her daughters and ask for some betrothal gifts to live.
But the one who searched for him was not suitable for him. In the end, the hostess also made a widower for his daughter to die and his wife lived with three children. The daughter cried and refused, but the hostess decided to accept the betrothal gift from him. The daughter cried in the yard, "You can't live a good life yourself, and you want to push us into the fire pit, right? You have become a stepmother yourself, and you feel unbalanced, and you want us to be as unhappy as you. Why is your heart so dark?"
The hostess is usually clever and is not nervous when she is besieged by three or five people. She can always make people speechless. But after hearing her daughter's words, she was surprisingly quiet and said nothing, as if she had made accusation.
However, the daughter of this family packed her luggage that night and secretly escaped from the house with her sister. The man who had been hired came to the house to make a fuss when he learned about it. Not only did he grab the betrothal gift, but he also smashed the house.
Bai Rongxuan heard this and suddenly thought of the relationship between Aunt Xiang and Tang Xueli. She finally understood why Aunt Xiang married Tang Xueli to such a family regardless of her reputation.
She married Tang Chongzhou, who was old enough to be her father, and she was always criticized and disliked for this. She had a subtle change in her heart. She didn't want Tang Xueli to marry too high, so she had to live the same life as herself.
Perhaps this will make her feel the pleasure of revenge?
But this time, Aunt Xiang was surprisingly quiet and had almost never shown her face. Bai Rongxuan couldn't help but be surprised. Could this matter also change? It seems that since her rebirth, many things will not continue according to the trajectory of the past, just like Dong Yulu's visits to relatives and Wu Jie's arrival...
Bai Rongxuan felt a little nervous, feeling that many things seemed to be out of control and became confusing.
Bai Rongxuan quietly called Wu Jie to her side, "Can you help me find out what Aunt Xiang is doing recently?"
Wu Jie looked at her alertly, "What are you doing at this time?"
Bai Rongxuan said, "I can't say it either. I just think she is a bit abnormal. In the past, she must have come earlier than anyone else. But this time I don't know what happened, but I haven't shown up. As the saying goes, abnormality will lead to demons. I always feel that something strange is here."
Wu Jie thought for a while, "Sure, then I'll sneak out to inquire later. If you can't find out, don't blame me."
"No." Bai Rongxuan shook her head, "Be careful, don't discover it."
Wu Jie agreed and walked quickly.
In the afternoon, Wu Jie hurried back. Bai Rongxuan, Tang Xueru and the three sisters in the eldest house were helping Tang Xueping to entertain guests. As the wedding date approached, many visitors would go to the bride's room to take a look. First, they would take a look at the dowry of the Tang family's daughter, and second, they would also say some polite words of blessings as elders. Tang Xueping was a bride-to-be who was not good at doing it himself, so several sisters helped pour tea to welcome guests.
Because the room was filled with dowry, Bai Rongxuan, Tang Xueru and Tang Xueli, three unmarried people could only help usher and see each other outside the door.
Therefore, Wu Jie showed his head in front of the gate, and Bai Rongxuan discovered it. She used the excuse to go to drink water and went out calmly. The two found a hidden corner. Wu Jie said, "Eunuch Xiang hasn't gone out much recently. She said she was not feeling well, so she has been recuperating at home."
It turned out that I was sick... It seemed that I was too careful.
Bai Rongxuan nodded, "I understand."
"Then I'm going to do business, and Manager Yan is still looking for me." Wu Jie hurriedly saluted Bai Rongxuan and quickly walked to the front yard.
Bai Rongxuan turned around and returned to Tang Xueping's yard.
Tang Xueru's legs were sore after standing. As soon as she saw Bai Rongxuan, she immediately leaned over and leaned on her, "How long will it take? My legs are numb."
Before Bai Rongxuan could speak, Tang Xueli took the lead and said, "It's so fast, and no one will come to the door in a while. You insist on standing up well, so don't let people see you feel that you have no rules."
Tang Xueru sighed and forced herself to stand up straight.
Bai Rongxuan's eyes fell on Tang Xueli opposite her.
It is delicate and beautiful, like a lotus standing quietly on the water. Although it is not as rich as peonies or as arrogant as plum blossoms, it has its own fragrance that cannot be ignored.
In this life, Aunt Xiang did not show off in Tang Xueping's marriage, and she would not have made any big moves for a while. If Tang Xueli could have made a good family earlier, would her life change as well?
Thinking about this, it would be a good thing for Aunt Xiang to not come.
Bai Rongxuan was thinking quickly.
Looking at the entire Tang family, the only one who cares about Tang Xueli's sisters is the only one who cares about Mrs. Tang, the only one who cares about her aunt Huang. Because of her relationship with Mrs. Zhang, she takes great care of her sisters. I am afraid that Tang Xueli's marriage will be helped by her aunt.
Bai Rongxuan hesitated whether to find an opportunity to test her aunt's plans and take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. If it could lead to Tang Xueli's marriage, she would not have to experience the tragic encounter in her previous life.
It’s a pity that Huang has been so busy that he has not even had time to say something to her recently.
It seems that only after Sister Ping's marriage is over can she start doing this.
