However, if her own docile and intelligent third sister were to marry, it would be different. It was just that because of her status, Lady Xu was not easy to open her mouth to ask. After all, the third sister was just a proper daughter, and there was no reason for her to marry a concubine. Xie Jingyi originally wanted to come over to scout, but seeing Xie Jingxi's actions, Xie Jingyi knew that his mother's plan had failed. How could her second sister easily hold onto someone like that?
Your brother-in-law brought some small things from the northwest and sent your share over. I see that your room is quite lonely, so don't be embarrassed saying anything if you're short. Right now, you're the only one in front of your mother.
”When Second Miss got married, he already gave me some, I don't usually need them, and I have enough things in my house.”
Xie Jingqi would never leave anything good for others. Most likely, because of her mother's persuasion, she had given her some things that she did not want. Xie Jingyi knew clearly in her heart that her third sister was a sensible person.
”Do you know anything about the Fang Clan?”
Xie Jingxi unconcernedly nodded her head, ”The matter of marriage is not something that can be forced.
Xie Jingyi nodded his head, ”You are a sensible child, but sometimes you have to fight for a marriage.”
The matter of the Fang family was only mentioned a bit by the big sister Xie Family, but it was rather unpleasant to hear it from the other side of the family.
During the Gu Clan Gemini's Full Moon Banquet, the Fourth Miss of the Second House mocked Xie Jingxi, ”How could a family like the Fang Clan like you, who has never seen the world, think of such a thing? Even if you marry her, you wouldn't lose face, you can just find an Elementary Scholar.”
Fourth Miss's eldest sister-in-law, Madam Xing, quickly pulled her sister-in-law back. ”Third Miss is feeling very sad right now. Why do you have to bring this up?”
Xie Jingxi sneered in her heart, the second house of the Gu family was still not up for the show, and had already determined that she would lose the Fang family's marriage, and that she would cry to death. Furthermore, she had messed up the Second Young Madam's mother's family in front of the major wife, she had never seen someone with such a huge face.
Xie Jingxi would never argue with people that were not important to her, but Gu Wan was different. She had long since disliked the Second House and wanted to take the chance to kill them.
”Where did sister-in-law Xing come from? When did you see the Fang family and Xie Family betrothal gift? Or did you invite the matchmaker over here? If there's nothing out of the ordinary, then you can say it clearly. If you hurry over, then you can also make up some good scenes to sing to our family's troupe.”
Gu Wan was mocking the Second Branch and its entire family for causing trouble, but the Second Branch and its household had long since lost their dignity. Ordinary words could not easily poke a hole through their thick skin, but the Xing Family looked wronged upon hearing Gu Wan's words, saying that they had treated her with kindness as a mule, and had actually started to wipe their tears with a handkerchief.
”Sister-in-law, you saw it. Your kind-hearted friend has been left trampling on the ground,” she said. ”With such an uncultured person, what's there to be worried about? There's also Sister Guan, you can have some snacks. If you're with someone like that, you'll learn nothing at all.”
Gu Wan was so angry that she was about to hit her, when she suddenly heard a laugh from Xie Jingxi, ”Wan'er, you should stop playing with me, I don't even have the heart to fly on a branch, what if I delay you a little?”
Gu Wan was also happy when she heard it, but the Second House of the Gu Family, who had always been a generous person, continued to try and send the Fourth Miss into the palace while rubbing his head against the Marquis Anfeng. However, the Fourth Miss's character was average, and many of the methods used by the Second House were all suppressed by the Palace, all because of the fact that the Fourth Miss was not very good.
Because of this matter, the Gu family lost face at the His Majesty, but the second house thought it was because the Marquis Anfeng couldn't see them properly, so they kept pressing down on them. The Fourth Miss was incredibly high and mighty, and had even thought of entering the palace to become a imperial consort all day long. However, the entire capital was looking on at the joke of their family, with no one even knocking on their door to propose marriage.
If Fourth Miss had failed to enter the palace, and had also liked the Fang family's Second Master, it was a pity that he had not responded, and instead wholeheartedly wanted to marry Xie Jingxi. This was why when Fourth Miss saw Xie Jingxi, he could not think of a good word to say.
Xie Jingxi never once looked at Fourth Miss. When she was joking around and left, Fourth Miss still hadn't come back to her senses. Everyone was fine, why were they laughing?
There were many wives present today at the Full Moon Feast of the Marquis Anfeng. Looking at the two beautiful sisters, Gu Shenwei was straightforward and sincere, thanking the Third Sister for his gentle and warm understanding of the situation, especially the Third Miss, who said that he had never raised her since he was young, and that she was a bit stingy. However, looking at her behavior and attitude, she was not any worse than any of the girls in the capital.
The wives were all wondering if they could find a suitable brother for themselves, and there were also a few coldly gazing at the area where the chamber lord was standing. King Jin Xiao Yu prodded Gu Yun who was standing at the side, and said in shock: ”You also have your eyes on someone, do you want to ask your Royal Concubine to negotiate on your behalf?”
