Chapter 494·Speaking

Without others, some things can be said directly. Madam Tang no longer beat around the bush and asked Tang Xueli gently, "But what happened? I see something is wrong with your face. Although the elder and the

The two families have been separated for many years, but if you have been wronged in any way, I will not sit idly by and ignore it, just tell the truth."

Tang Xueli is also a smart person. How could she not see that Mrs. Tang deliberately sent everyone away just to make it easier for her to talk? She lowered her head, hesitated again and again, and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, Aunt Xiang.

...Maybe she is pregnant again, and her father will naturally be overjoyed to have a son.

, I want to hand over the power of housekeeping to Aunt Xiang. As you know, I have been taking care of the trivial matters in the eldest house these years. It’s not that I like it very much. In fact, there is no one available in the family after my mother passed away.

, this allowed me to take on the heavy responsibility. If it weren’t for my father’s trust and the old lady’s advice, I wouldn’t have known about it.

How big of a mistake would I make? Now that I am getting older, I will get married sooner or later. It would be good if I could let Aunt Xiang take over as soon as possible, so as not to make some things unclear in the future, let me and

The relationship with my father is also difficult to get along with. I have looked away from it a long time ago, so there is nothing I can’t bear to let go of.

It was the servants on the other side of the main room who complained a lot, and even ran to my father to reason. My father was so angry that he not only scolded them, but also called me over to teach me a lesson. It was as if I was holding on to my rights and refused to let go.

, and I didn’t want to see Aunt Xiang, mother and son. I felt aggrieved, so I went out to relax."

Mrs. Tang frowned slightly as she listened.

The smile on Nanny Li's face froze, and she couldn't help but look up at Mrs. Tang.

Except for those in Xiang's courtyard, most of the servants in the long house were left behind by Mrs. Zhang during her lifetime. Tang Xueli was able to take over the internal affairs of the long house so smoothly and managed without any mistakes. On the one hand, she was capable, and on the other hand, she was capable.

It was these servants who were grateful for Mrs. Zhang's kindness back then and worked hard. They did the work themselves without waiting for Tang Xueli's instructions, saving Tang Xueli a lot of trouble.

It can also be said that these people contributed indispensably to the long house being what it is today. However, what Tang Chongzhou has done in recent years is really chilling. It is no wonder that these servants respect him less and less.

And Xiangshi is pregnant again...

Mrs. Tang glanced at Grandma Li, and the two people quickly exchanged glances. Their eyes were full of knowing light. Mrs. Tang smiled calmly and said, "Such a good thing, why is there no one else?"

Let us know? It’s rare that the eldest son is about to have another child. This is a huge happy event. When worshiping ancestors this year, it is best to think of saying this to the ancestors. Please also ask the ancestors to bless the eldest son to give birth to his second son smoothly and extend the family business.

.”

Tang Xueli blushed and said, "Aunt Xiang's fetus is not very good. She has been resting in bed since she was pregnant and doesn't go out much. My father wants to wait until she has settled the fetus to avoid being bumped again.

.”

I'm afraid it's not that the fetal image is bad, but that it's not a good day, right? If the matter reaches the second room, Mrs. Tang will definitely ask her in detail, and then the incident will inevitably come to light. What is Aunt Xiang's calculation in her mind? Aunt Li asked

Clearly aware of this, she sneered in her heart, waiting for Mrs. Tang to make up her mind.

Mrs. Tang's face was calm, with a joyful smile on her face. Her eyes were kind and kind, and she spoke softly, "That's fine. There is no old man in the eldest house. It's rare that your father is so careful and can take care of everything."

Everything has been considered thoroughly, so I don’t have to worry about it.” At this point, the conversation changed and he comforted Tang Xueli again, “Although Chongzhou’s intention at first was to keep you at home to recruit a new wife, at that time the family still had

Without Brother Rong, one moment has passed, and now the situation has changed, and some things have to be rearranged. Brother Rong is now older, and Aunt Xiang is pregnant again. If you stay at home any longer, it will inevitably make people feel that you are malicious.

Fighting for this family property will not be good for your reputation if word spreads about it. Since your father agrees with Auntie Xiang to take charge of the house, you should take this opportunity to hand over the power, and then you can prepare for your marriage with peace of mind and prepare all your dowry."

Grandma Li was a little surprised and looked at Mrs. Tang in disbelief.

The matter with Xiang's family is already a certainty. How can he be the head of the house again after doing such a scandal?

What is the old lady’s plan?

Mrs. Tang, however, gave her a calm look and continued to say to Tang Xueli with a smile, "Touqianer, your two sisters mentioned it to me when they came back to attend Sister Ping's wedding.

You have no mother, and although you have a father to protect you, you are still a man. How can a woman be careful? Your two sisters asked me to worry more about your marriage.

At that time, I thought I had enough time, so I didn’t take it too seriously. But now it seems that we can’t delay it any longer, otherwise all good young ladies will be left as old maids. In this case, after the Chinese New Year, I will give you advice on this matter.

I will also tell your father, just don't worry, although I am old, I still have a clear mind and will not marry you off in a daze."

When Tang Xueli heard her old man mentioning her marriage, her face turned red as if she could drip blood, but she just listened attentively and did not express her opinion aloud.

Mrs. Tang knew at a glance that she had something to say and was embarrassed to say it directly.

Mrs. Tang asked, "If you have anything to say, just say it. Hiding it like this is not like your temper."

Tang Xueli thought for a while and finally said, "I...I'm afraid that if I marry too soon, my family..."

She must be worried that after she gets married, the servants of the eldest family will not obey the control of the Xiang family, and something will happen. A fire in the backyard will not look good.

Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "Silly girl, this is not something you should worry about, and you don't have to think about it so much. Besides, Aunt Xiang is not a stupid person. She has her own way of disciplining her servants. What are you talking about?

It's the same whether you're away or not. Maybe when you're here, she feels like you're in the way.

It's not easy to deal with in the middle. As for the servants... those who are willing to stay can't be kicked out, and those who don't want to stay can't be kept for any amount of money. Everyone is master and servant, and when the time comes, they will be rewarded with a good sum of money to spend.

It's enough if people leave, maybe a new group of people will be hired, and the atmosphere of the long house will be completely new."

Tang Xueli is still a little worried. If she really gets married, her father will be the only one in the family...

Mrs. Tang said, "You don't have to worry about your father. Even though this little cotton-padded jacket like you is gone, you will not be alone in your life. You have a caring aunt to take care of you, and you have your son Cheng Huan at your knees. You are about to become a father again."

Yes, he may not know how happy he is."

This is true...

My father seems very happy now. I don’t know if it’s because people feel refreshed during happy events, but his face is full of joy, and even his steps have become much brisker.

Tang Xueli sighed with some disappointment. After her mother passed away, she was the one who stayed with her father the longest among the four sisters, and the father and daughter had to deal with many difficult situations together. When she thought of leaving her father, Tang Xueli's mood became clear.

It's complicated, not only reluctant to give up, but more importantly, uneasy.

It felt like I had left my father alone in a dragon's pond and a tiger's den...

As for why she felt this way, she couldn't explain it at all.

Madam Tang glanced at her intently, and then winked at Nanny Li. Nanny Li felt something in her heart, and she quickly stepped forward and said, "Old Madam..."

Mrs. Tang said, "Drinking cold tea after winter is not good for your health. You can go to the back stove and make a new pot and bring it over."

This is to get rid of yourself.

Aunt Li immediately reacted, "Yes, I'll go right away." She turned around and walked out the door, walking very fast.
