Chapter 966: Reaching the End of Life (1)
The Xia familyâs wedding banquet was extremely spectacular.
The Xia family had been rising steadily in the past two years, and they were favored by the young emperor. The eldest granddaughter of the residence was married to the heir of the Duke of Guarding Country as the mistress, so she was from a very good family.
At this banquet, even the Emperor had sent some congratulatory gifts to the Dukeâs estate.
This made the two families even happier.
Xia Qingqing was elated.
After being raised in the manor for a few years, her mother, Madam Yu, had become more stubborn and stubborn. Even Xia Qingqing was affected.
Three days later, when he returned home.
In order to show their respect for the heir of the Duke of Guarding Country, the Xia family also invited Jiang Huaian and his family back to accompany them.
The Defender Duke was tall and handsome, and had made many contributions in the army.
When Xia Qingqing got off the sedan, she touched the crabapple on her temples with a red face and walked into the Xia family residence arrogantly.
There was no mother-in-law in the Dukeâs estate, so she became the mistress of the house the moment she entered.
For a moment, he was in the limelight.
As soon as he entered, his gaze fell on Jiang Huailu, who was beside Madam Xia. He couldnât help but pinch his handkerchief, his eyes darkening.
He snorted lightly and walked to the front of the hall with an arrogant expression.
After the two of them entered the door, they greeted everyone in turn and toasted them with tea.
As Xia Qingqingâs mother, Madam Yu naturally sat at the main seat. Behind him stood a pair of twin aunts.
A good hand of cards was smashed by her.
Her husband, who originally only had her in his heart, now only had her in his eyes. She was also done for.
Now that he was relying on his daughter to return to the residence, how could there not be resentment in his eyes?
âMother, have some tea.â The heir of the Defender Duke knelt on the ground and toasted his parents.
Madam Yu smiled as she took the tea and took a sip.
âAs a mother, I have no other requests. I only hope that you will treat our Qingqing better. Donât learn to take concubines, lest it hurt the harmony between husband and wife.â Madam Yu said softly.
Xia Ningze, who was sitting beside her, frowned. She was simply saying that he had a concubine and a concubine.
However, they had just gotten married, and the son-in-law had returned home with their daughter. Wouldnât saying these things hurt the harmony between the husband and wife?
As expected, the heir of the Duke of Guarding Country did not look too good.
â Alright, the prince is busy with military matters and is accompanying Qingqing back home. You should speak less. â She rolled her eyes at Madam Yu before personally helping her son-in-law up.
There was really something wrong with his brain.
The son-in-law was still kneeling.
Was he afraid that his daughter would live too well in his son-in-lawâs house?
The heir of the Duke of Guarding Country smiled and thanked his father-in-law. When his gaze passed Lulu, it quickly shifted to her.
Old Madam Xia rubbed her brows. She had been very tired these days. She was already one of the few people who had lived a long life.
Everyone knew that the old ladyâs health had not been good recently, so they did not make much trouble.
Lunch was soon prepared.
âIt looks like the prince is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Xia Qingqingâs face is full of shyness. She doesnât look like sheâs being bullied.â Although the Xia family did not like Xia Qingqing, they also hoped that she would marry into a good family.
He was genuinely happy for her.
âMother, maternal grandmotherâs health is not good, why donât you accompany her in the Xia family for a few more days. Lulu looks like Grandmother hasnât eaten much.â Lulu looked at his grandmother with worry in her eyes.
During lunch, the old lady was so tired that she stopped using her silver chopsticks several times.
Madam Xia sighed. â Alright. Itâs been hard on Lulu. â
The old lady was famous for her longevity. She had lived under the same roof for four generations and had even seen her granddaughter get married. Recently, his body had been in poor condition. The juniors in the residence did not dare to go far and came to visit once a day.
When Xia Qingqing returned home today, the prince seemed to be in a good mood and actually agreed to stay with her for a few days.
For a moment, the news of the prince doting on Xia Qingqing spread like wildfire.
