Chapter 728: Chapter 728-In the Wrong
Translator: 549690339
Xiao Baoxin’s birthday came to an end with Xie Xian’s sudden howl.
The maids who were serving the couple were used to the couple’s lovey-dovey behavior. Even Qingfeng and Mingyue didn’t worry too much about this sudden flirting.
One was willing to fight, and the other was willing to suffer. It was not up to the servants to say anything.
In reality, before Xie Xian sent out the congratulatory gift, Ming Yue had already complained to Qing Feng.
Lord Lang was a little brainless.
Or perhaps he had used too much of his brain and deviated from the normal course.
Which lady would be willing to receive the same type of gift every birthday? He was too careless.
Whether it was the head or the jade sword from last time, it would be best if it was a one-time use item that appeared a little special. It was really not a good choice to give him similar killing weapons of the same nature again and again.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t reminded Xie Xian of something similar before.
However, they were all dissuaded by Xie Xian’s ‘how can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?’ ‘how can a summer insect speak of ice?’ and ‘what do you know?’ gazes.
If he said anything more, he would be looking for trouble.
As expected, when she heard Xie Xian’s wail, Ming Yue inexplicably felt proud and elated. This was called ‘honest advice is unpleasant to the ear’.
If one didn’t listen to advice, one would still be punished in the end.
As expected, the punishment came so quickly.
Cai Wei: ” Why is your expression so happy when you hear the miserable cry of the Lang Lord?”She had a curious look on her face, and her face was filled with the unique fragrance of cumin and gossip.
Ming Yue felt regretful. Although she wanted to share it, there were some things that she couldn’t say.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“What? Was it Master Lang? I was thinking about what happened during the day and didn’t hear it. What’s wrong with Master Lang? Do you want to go in and take a look at it?”

A small fight was good for the mood, but a big fight was good for the body.
However, Xiao Baoxin and Xie Xian had always stayed on the level of small fights and flirting. When it came to intimacy, it was still a competition between the two.
The next day was Lady Yuan’s birthday. Xiao Baoxin especially woke up early and rushed to the Freedom Courtyard.
From last year’s celebration of Madam Yuan’s birthday, the endless stream of people could be seen from the current situation of the Xie family.
What was even more different this year than last year was that they had invited more officials from poor families. It was clearly a birthday celebration for Madam Yuan, but the focus of attention had already been diverted.
The aristocratic families were still sitting in groups, clearly separated from the commoners.
Madam Wang had specially asked the children of the third household to kowtow to Madam Yuan before the banquet. She didn’t want Xie Ning to become the focus of the banquet. The main reason was that she didn’t want to embarrass that person.
As for the banquet in front, Xie Ning was not invited to participate at all. She was reading in the courtyard.
Lady Cai followed suit and bound herself to Lady Wang, allowing the second branch to go to Freedom Yard ahead of time. In the past, it was Twelfth Aunt Wang who was busy with the arrangements, but now that she was pregnant, the elders told her to take care of the baby, so she obediently followed behind Lady Cai.
The banquet began at Si o’clock, but it was not until Madam Chu Yuan brought her daughter-in-law, He Si Niangzi, that she arrived. After a year, He Si Niangzi’s figure had finally slimmed down, and she had returned to her former beautiful and graceful figure.
Madam Wang was dumbfounded, and her heart began to beat.
She knew that even if Xie Shan’s temper was not pleasing to her mother-in- law, she would at least give face to the Xie family when she came to the Xie family. No matter what, she would not bring the Xie family’s daughter over.
If he didn’t bring it, there could only be a problem.
She went straight to Chu Yuanshi without saying anything. Just by looking at Chu Yuanshi’s awkward face, she knew that something was wrong.
“In-law’s wife-”
“What’s wrong with Second Mother? Are you feeling unwell?” Madam Wang said anxiously,”She’s pregnant.””
“Didn’t Second Mother go back to the Xie residence yesterday to celebrate Baoxin’s birthday?” She didn’t do much when she went back. She argued with Shichiro a few times and got so angry that her stomach hurt in the middle of the night. I only found out this morning that the imperial physician had checked my pulse.”
“It’s nothing serious. Don’t worry, in-law. It’s just that the imperial physician told me to recuperate. I thought that although it was lively today, there were too many people and we were all family, so I didn’t bring her here forcefully.” Although the words were said like this, Madam Wang was not at ease no matter how she thought about it.
“Why are they arguing?”
“Second Mother’s temper is not good, but she is pregnant after all, so Qi Lang won’t give in.”She started complaining.
When Lady Yuan saw that Lady Chu was stopped by Lady Wang halfway, she knew that something was wrong. She quickly came over and heard that not only was Lady Wang complaining, but even she was complaining.
“What’s wrong with Shichiro? Is he here?”
Mrs. Chu gave Madam Yuan a look, indicating that she should not rush up.
Mrs. Yuan ignored him.” Let him come over. I’ll ask him what’s going on.” If it was San Lang, I wouldn’t have said anything else. He was a good Langjun, Qi Lang…What was he thinking, arguing with a pregnant wife until he couldn’t get out of bed?”
When He Si Niangzi heard this, she almost nodded her head. Indeed, her husband was a good man, but her brother-in-law was too pretentious. He could still fight with his pregnant wife. If it wasn’t for his mother-in-law’s eloquence beating his son up like a pig’s head and coaxing Xie Shan, it wouldn’t have been such a simple matter today.
It was better to listen than to talk. It was really a small matter. Why didn’t he come back for such a big matter?
Chu Yuanshi was her biological second sister. She knew that for the sake of face, she had to coax Xie Shan to come over to strengthen her face. There was no need to let her rest at home when she was angry.
When Madam Wang heard this, she became anxious.
“In-law’s wife, what’s wrong? Tell me the truth.”
Mrs. Chu was a little embarrassed.” Don’t worry. It’s just that the fetus is affected. She’s taking care of the fetus at home.” I didn’t bring Shichiro with me either–! beat him up.”
Madam Wang was about to cry. Her precious daughter was so pregnant that she was bullied by others.
“Sister-in-law, don’t blame me for not knowing the big picture. I-I can’t sit still. I’ll make a trip to the Chu family to see what’s wrong with my Shan. I won’t be at ease until I see it with my own eyes.”
Chu Yuanshi couldn’t stop her even if she wanted to. She glared at Madam Yuan.
“What did you say? I’ll go too. It’s as if I’ve suffered a lot…” What good would this do if word got out?
However, letting Madam Wang go to the Chu residence by herself was really not justifiable. If word got out, it would be her impoliteness, so she flicked her sleeves and followed.
He Si Niangzi didn’t even think about it and left with her mother-in-law.
It was like a stick of candied haws. It was impossible to be quiet.
At that time, the news spread. Xie Shan’s pregnancy was probably not good.
“What’s wrong with Auntie?” Xie Wan watched the in-laws leave like a gust of wind from afar and quickly came over to investigate.
Madam Yuan sneered.” What else can I do? I think it’s your seventh cousin who’s acting up again.” It was said that the Second Lady was so angry that it affected the fetus, but who knew what was going on inside? I saw your aunt’s guilty face and knew that nothing good was going to happen!”
