He was really generous.
Chu Lingzi was so full that she couldn’t hold it anymore. She called the maid in to send it back first.
Xiao Baoxin expressed that she couldn’t understand these two soulmate bodies. “By the way, hasn’t Third Lady painted a portrait in the past two years?”Chu Lingzi asked curiously,”! still have the portrait you gave me before. If you’re free, draw me another one. Of course, if you re willing.
Xiao Miaorong had a look of utter despair.
“Of course I’m willing.” Then, he added,”I also draw portraits, but most of them are San Lang’s…! didn’t want to show it to you, but I drew two paintings for her when she was born and never touched my brush again.
“If you want to see it, I’ll show it to you.”
“Alright, alright.” Chu Lingzi nodded her head vigorously.
It was naturally not easy for her to take away the portrait of her own daughter. However, if he really wanted to draw her heart, he could ask Third Lady Xiao to draw one for her Jiaojiao.
Although her daughter was not as pretty as she wanted, she was still very cute. Moreover, she didn’t like to cry. She was born with a smiling face and would smile at everyone. She was the best little girl.
Wasn’t he much better than Xiao Baoxin’s son who loved to cry?
Although her face was definitely not as good as hers.
There was nothing she could do about it. It was her and Xi Silang’s fault. Their roots could not compare to others. It was not her daughter’s fault.
Xiao Miaorong rummaged through the cabinets and boxes again. At this time, Chu Lingzi heard that she had gone far away, so she went up to Xiao Baoxin and said,”Did Third Aunt cry again? You have to be more vigilant. I keep feeling that… Third Lady…Don’t be angry. I think he’s sick.”
“I talked to her for a few days and finally felt her pulse. I only said that painting could pique her interest. Otherwise, she would cry after saying two or three sentences.”
“.. Do you want to find an imperial physician to take a look?
“Or should I let Si Lang talk to Third Brother and let him step in?” Chu Lingzi lowered her voice.”
Xiao Baoxin smiled.” Sixth Mother is very thoughtful. Don’t worry, I
understand.””
Chu Lingzi was about to say something when she saw Xiao Miaorong return with two paintings. She opened them and saw that they were indeed portraits of her daughter.
Chu Lingzi was amused.” So Hezhi is so ugly when she was just born. Her eyes are really so small. Then I’m relieved. My daughter has hope when she grows
up.””
Xiao Miaorong silently shut her mouth.
Xiao Baoxin also averted his gaze. He couldn’t get over this hurdle.
They were all equally ugly when they were born, but…Hezhi’s biological father was good-looking.
He couldn’t say this. If he said it, it would hurt.
However, to be honest, she did not think that Chu Lingzi’s daughter was that ugly, but…She wasn’t that good-looking, but rather a delicate little girl. What good could he see from that little?
Her old son Xie Yan didn’t look like this back then. Although he was only seventeen months old now, his appearance had undergone many changes.
Perhaps it was because he wasn’t by her side. Every time she saw him, she had a new understanding of him.
Now, well, he looked more and more like her.
The few of them chatted for a while more before Chu Lingzi excused herself to see the child. Before she left, she did not forget to give Xiao Baoxin a look.
Then, he turned to Xiao Miaorong and said,”When you have time, ask me out to draw one for my pretty girl.” When she grows up, I’ll keep her safe and bring her to my in-laws ‘house as a dowry!”
Xiao Miaorong nodded repeatedly.”
The two of them hit it off. What time? Tomorrow it was.
Xiao Baoxin felt that only the Xi family was in mourning period, so it was not easy to handle. Otherwise, she wouldn’t even need to hire a doctor to take a look at her. These young ladies on good terms would ask her to draw for them one by one. Xiao Miaorong was so busy that she didn’t have time to cry.
After sending Chu Lingzi away, Xiao Miaorong said,”Sixth Lady is really good. I just came back, and she came to visit me and talked to me all the time.”
“You’re family too. This is for the best.”
Then, he looked at Xiao Miaorong’s eyes.” I see that you don’t look too good. I’ll ask your brother-in-law to get a doctor to take a look at you. You’ll be healthy.” Although you’re still in the mourning period and can’t paint your eyebrows or dress up gorgeously, you can’t be too lifeless.” Xiao Miaorong nodded and didn’t think too much about it. She knew her complexion. She looked terrible.
Sister was a straightforward person. It was normal for her to speak like this. “Two days ago, I returned to the residence to visit my father…” This was the first time Xiao Miaorong mentioned Imperial Censor Xiao, and tears welled up in her eyes.”He doesn’t even look like Abba anymore.”
Xiao Baoxin facepalmed.
“Maybe he got too close to Boshu.”
It was unknown if Baoshu had a certain chance of being like Censor Xiao, or if the uncle and nephew had the same bad taste. Recently, they had been too superstitious about the power of gods and Buddhas. The money they donated was enough to build a temple.
When Madam Xiao returned to Jiankang, Xiao Baoxin naturally went over to pay his respects.
Madam Xiao’s complexion was ruddy and healthy. Other than worrying about Xiao Miaorong every day, she was also angry with Second Master Xiao, causing the house to be in a mess and selling more than half of what could be sold.
Second Master Xiao was too outrageous. Madam Xiao rose to power and scratched Second Master Xiao’s face until he was not human anymore. Finally, Second Master Xiao was convinced. At least in the half a month that Madam Xiao had returned to the residence, she was as obedient as a quail.
When Xiao Baoxin went to take a look, Second Master Xiao still had injuries on his face, but his speech and actions were obviously much more normal.
in Madam Xiao’s words, some people just couldn’t be spoiled. How could he not have a woman to guard his house?
In the past, she gave Second Brother Xiao too much face and did not take her mother and daughter seriously.
Xiao Miaorong returned to the manor to see her parents. Without waiting for Madam Xiao to say anything, Second Master Xiao directly stuffed five thousand taels of silver into her hands. They didn’t say much, but they were teary-eyed and looked quite pitiful. The father and daughter hugged each other and cried.
Mrs. Xiao was in tears.
She knew that Xiao Miaorong loved to cry, but Second Master Xiao was an unyielding man. It was fine if she cried secretly, but she had to cry with her daughter. She was not sensible.
Because Xiao Miaorong was there, he was too embarrassed to flare up. After she left, he grabbed Second Master Xiao and beat him up again.
However, he also privately gave Xiao Miaorong five thousand silver.
Originally, he wanted to give him 10,000 yuan so that he could have more people to rely on. However, this family was almost ruined by Second Master Xiao. He lost his official position, and his monthly salary was not the same as before. He was also chased out of the Xiao Mansion by Sikong Xiao. Although Sikong Xiao would occasionally send things to Second Master Xiao’ s private vault and give him silver, he still had to keep some of his savings.
Xiao Miaorong was speechless. I heard from my mother that it was very vivid. Had Second Lady really been reborn into Fifth Lady Zhong’s body?
“Sister, you were an empress in your previous life?”
“Second Lady really didn’t lie?”
It wasn’t that she was inexperienced and liked to sway. In fact, if that was the case, it wasn’t unreasonable for her father to suddenly be so superstitious about immortals and Buddhism. This was too mystical.
