Chapter 0128 – Bitter Struggle for Spring (1 / 2)

Jade Bamboo was about to shake her head, but in her afterglow, she saw Bitou coming from the other side of the room in a somewhat strange form.

“For good reason, why did you change your clothes?” Cuizhu asked seemingly unintentionally.

Bitao tightly bite the lower lip, cover down full of hatred: “Accidentally called the wine wet clothes, then go back to change a body.”

Colorful butterfly nodded, some arrogant said: “That is also too careless some, indeed this kind of big scene for you, is really too rare some, will be busy in the error is normal. By the way, that person can have–“

Cai Die subconsciously surrounded the surrounding area, and cautiously said, “It’s just that, this banquet is about to end, so let’s wait to go back and talk about it.”

“Yes.”

Beatrice pinched herself hard.

Just at this moment, a boy’s shout suddenly came from outside the door, “The Young Lady of the Chen Mansion has arrived!”

This announcement was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, the noisy main hall instantly fell silent for a split second, followed by a flurry of sidelong glances and whispered comments from the guests.

“Young lady? Isn’t that the daughter of the family that the Chen family married, not that she’s been sick?”

“Yeah, but why didn’t you see her earlier?”

“In my opinion, this Young Grandmother Xie isn’t sick at all, perhaps she’s sulking with the Chen family’s eldest son! I told you, there’s no place for a concubine to make an appearance on such occasions, only the real family is worthy of raising children.”

Listening to the voices of the surrounding discussion, Caitou’s smile was gone, her heart was anxious, and she stood up in panic.

“Xie Jialong? What is she doing here!”

Accompanied by a burst of ring pendant clanking and the sound of fluttering sleeves, Xie Jialong stepped into the crowd’s sight like a walking picture of a lady. Her hair was in a high bun, her spine straight, and she was wearing a lake green cloud brocade dress, the hemline of which trailed to the ground like the rippling blue waves, and the flowery gold and silver embroidery shone brightly, demonstrating the style of the family.

The corner of Xie Jialong’s lips slightly raised, holding a Xiangfei bamboo folding fan, gently shaking it, the fan surface of the brushwork on the bird and flower drawings complemented the gorgeous clothes around her, adding a few more points of the elegant flavor of the literati.

With her chin held high, she admired the gazes of the guests who were either surprised or admiring, her face showing the unique reserved color of a woman of the world’s family, causing a wave of flattery.

Chen Zisheng frowned and stepped forward, whispering, “Why did you suddenly run out! It’s hard to believe that you–“

Xie Jialong, however, interrupted him and laughed aloud, “Congratulating my husband on his newborn, how can I, as a wife, not come? Where is my child, quickly ask me to take a look.”

Cai Die could barely hold back her shrill voice, “What do you mean by your child?”

“Oh? Isn’t this your maid, the one who washed your feet in the early years – Cai Die, right? Why is she at the banquet now?”

Xie Jialong asked knowingly, her voice not too high and not too low, but loud enough for all the guests present to hear clearly.

Behind Xie Jia Rong, Lin Mama respectfully stepped out, “Madam, you’ve been sick for a long time, so I’m afraid you’ve forgotten that this Caidie girl has done a great job of giving birth to a son, and now she’s already the aunt of our youngest master.”

“This way.” Xie Jialong came to a realization and said, “Truly meritorious, Mother Lin, still not looking at the reward!”

Lin mother immediately stepped forward, took out an exquisite brocade box from her bosom and respectfully handed it to Caidie, inside was some valuable jewelry, but Caidie had no intention to look at it.

Cai Die’s face was a shade of green and white. She had originally thought that she would be able to get a place in the Chen family by virtue of her credit for giving birth to a son, and could even be half the matriarch of Biyun Courtyard. But she hadn’t expected that the moment Xie Jialong appeared on the scene, she would easily reduce everything she had worked so hard to obtain to the dust.
