739 Difficult to Step Even an Inch Away (1/2)
We already have three at home; if you're not proactive enough, it's your loss… We're not in a rush!
”When children grow up, they will always look for someone they fancy. Lady Jun, that son of yours…” Xue Shuang Qing coughed awkwardly. ”Has also given you trouble in this area, hasn't he? Also when they grow up, they'll have to marry….”
”This son of mine has always saved me from worrying from he was young; even now, he still does. Especially when it comes to affairs concerning marriage, he would handle them on his own… I am more worried that it might be getting too much… The one beside Mo Xie, Tian Fa's Venerable Mei, is my first daughter-in-law; this one beside me, Qing Han, is also my daughter-in-law, they've already consummated… We still have Dugu Family's daughter, Dugu Xiao Yi back at home. Haha, this son of mine; he is not too shabby in terms of his looks and he is extremely honest. He don't know how to not be too showy, so he couldn't help but attract the attention of ladies. These three girls are the official wives that I am aware of, but I'm not too sure if he has anymore. I've already reprimanded him numerous times on this matter. Always makes my chest hurt from anger…”
Dongfang Wen Xin may sound as if she were begrudging, but an extremely proud expression sat upon her face. Anyone could tell that this mother was showing off. Who couldn't tell from her honored tone…
Of course a mother would feel proud that her son was so charismatic! Or not was she supposed to look forward to no one to asking about her son?
On the side, Jun Wu Yi has clearly reached the borders of breaking down anytime. Sister-in-law is too amazing; although what you said is not too far from the truth, but considering what sort of reputation Mo Xie had back in Tian Xiang… this… has gone too far off…
Xue Shuang Qing felt the corner of her mouth twitch. Are you lamenting about your son? Why does it sound like you are so proud of it? Taking a look at Mei Xue Yan and Qing Han, they both don't seem lesser than my daughter in anyway… and there is one more at home… and the possibility that there may be more than these three?!
What should she do? There were already three! And their statuses were not low—just take Venerable Mei, for example. She alone was someone Blizzard Silver City could not touch! Did she really have to marry her daughter to become his concubine? That was not acceptable!
Just as Xue Shang Qing was deep in her thoughts, Dongfang Wen Xin continued, ”So with so many daughter-in-laws, it's really troubling because it's a matter concerning who is the official first wife. Everyone comes from reputable families and they also hold high statuses. Especially Mei Yan, who is an overlord of a generation… Regardless, there's no logic for making anyone of them the mistress….”
”Yes, yes, that's very true.” Xue Shuang Qing agreed immediately.
”I've been so vexed that some hair has turned grey. But I finally thought of a solution.”
Dongfang Wen Xin lowered her voice mysteriously, ”That is, to not make any difference in terms of their status or position. Everyone shall all be sisters in terms of their age.. Isn't that great? Like this, the distinction is already made and everyone becomes closer, so everything else becomes easier to settle. There would be no problem even if there are more wives. Furthermore, I'm not trying to praise myself here, but I am not like one of those cynical mother-in-laws; I will always find a way to please them, right? As parents, it's really tiring for us, even if the least worrisome child has something that makes you worry. But what would that little beast Mo Xie even know of the woes of being a mother…”
Dongfang Wen Xin had lowered her voice, so Xue Shuang Qing also followed suit and hushed her voice. It seemed like if this was the case, then it shouldn't really matter… Furthermore the Jun Family was now a super-family, and clearly Yan Meng had deep rooted feelings for Jun Mo Xie. Why would she become the villain here? Besides, if it ended up like Han Yao Yao, it would just be a dead loss!
Coughing to clear her throat, she spoke, ”This.. Lady Jun, what do you think of my younger daughter?” Xue Shuang Qing finally went straight to the point after going in circles. ”Is she worthy of your son?”
”Um? This… Naturally I do adore Meng'er, but… If Yao'er is to marry Wu Yi, Wu Yi is Mo Xie's blood uncle… the seniority will be all messed up…” Dongfang Wen Xin pretended to be shocked…
”What problem can seniority pose? The pugilistic world is full of messed up seniorities…..” Xue Shuang Qing laughed nervously.
”If that's the case, then you can leave this matter to me. We have to let them have their wishes! Ai, I'm really too soft-hearted… I cannot bear to see the children suffer…” Dongfang Wen Xin was confident. They're already calling each other ”little wife”, ”mistress” already; how could she have misunderstood?
Furthermore, the more daughter-in-laws, the more grandchildren! It would be best of each of them could give birth to ten or more… Taking a sideway glance at Han Yan Meng, Dongfang Wen Xin thought that the girl seemed to have a body that was likely to conceive a son…
”That'll be ideal!” Xue Shuang Qing was elated.
”You can rest assured when Meng'er comes to my place. Haha, in-law, I'm pretty good at taking care of children.” Dongfang Wen Xin said warmly, directly addressing Xue Shuang Qing as 'in-law' already…
Jun Wu Yi completely broke down. Sister-in-law, you daresay you are good at taking care of children?
Xue Shuang Qing, on the other hand, nodded her head continuously, replying more passionately and addressing the other party as 'in-law' as well.
