Chapter 401: Death Enemy

These were the words of the little lady.
Wang Qiong smiled. In the past, she had also thought of serving Chu Silang and fulfilling their fate in this lifetime. The Chu family would never mistreat her. Moreover, she had her maternal family as her backer.
But now that she thought about how her mother did not agree to her being a widow, what she said was really right.
At that time, everyone naturally thought of her good deeds, but after a long time, no one would care about those good deeds of yours. They would just treat it as’ordinary. Those who are kind will remember your good deeds, and those who are cold will treat you as what you should do.
How many months had it been?
With the fall of the Wang family, the entire direction of the Chu family
changed.
It was true that her mother-in-law was a member of the Wang family, but her son had died and the Wang family had fallen. Her temper had become even stranger. She did not like her daughters-in-law, not just her.
She did not have anyone to rely on, unlike the few sisters-in-law who were all daughters of aristocratic families and the second sister-in-law was a princess.
Madam Wang fell ill, and the person who took over immediately was the eldest daughter-in-law, Madam Zhou. She had always been at odds with Wang Qiang.
She followed the example of her superiors and subordinates. No one was willing to rely on a widow without a husband. The grass and trees were like the wind, and her days in the Chu family were not good.
There was no dramatic hostility or tit-for-tat. No one would live like this. They would only wear people down on small matters and fight.
His days were like a pile of chicken feathers.
However, for Xie Wan and Xiao Baoxin to say such words, her entire heart was
warm.
It was rare for a few ladies to gather together, so they decided to stay for dinner at the Xie family. Before noon, Xiao Miaorong also arrived.
Although she found out from Madam Xie that Xiao Baoxin was fine, the more she heard the news outside, the more evil it became. She still made a trip personally and brought two portraits for Xie Wan with her.
The moment they knew that Xiao Miaorong had brought the portrait, the entire place became heated. They no longer had eyes for the ‘patient’ they were visiting. They immediately surrounded Xiao Miaorong, took the portrait off her body, and spread it on the table.
One would not know if they did not compare. One compared, the next jumped.
The two Xie Wan’s figures and eyebrows had indeed changed a lot.
Xie Wan put away the painting happily. The way she looked at Xiao Miaorong was different. It was as if her eyes were shining.
Since young, she had indeed learned all kinds of arts and could barely draw a few strokes. She could see the appearance of the painting. To draw like Xiao Miaorong, it was a talent that could not be learned.
“This is what 1 learned from my sister.”Xiao Miaorong didn’t feel guilty about receiving their praise. She was just that honest.
A good painting was good, but modesty was hypocrisy.
He asked her to say something, and she sounded like she was giving an award speech.
“Third Lady, draw one for me too. “Chu Lingzi was eager to give it a try.” Your drawing is really good. I’m afraid that I’ll change after I get married and have children or when I’m old. If you can draw me a painting now, I will definitely keep it well and pass it on to future generations.”
Xiao Baoxin was shot for no reason. Did she mean that she had changed a lot after she was pregnant and was frightened by Chu Lingzi?
“Your descendants might not want to see if’She silently nibbled on the peach and retaliated.
“I’ll let them see me once a year as long as I’m alive. I’ll let them see my beauty
when I was young.”
Everyone was speechless.
He was speechless.
“Alright, then I’ll draw you a prettier one.”Xiao Miaorong said sincerely.
Chu Lingzi beamed with joy,”Good, I’ll give you a good inkstone.””
The corners of Xiao Baoxin’s mouth twitched. They were openly faking it and accepting bribes.
Speaking of bribery, Xie Wan had promised Xiao Miaorong before that she would thank her heavily after the painting was done, so she stood up and said goodbye. She held the two paintings and returned to her own courtyard to get the thank-you gift.
Chu Lingzi and Xiao Miaorong were chatting fervently. Chu Lingzi had already talked about inviting Xiao Miaorong to stay at her house for a while so that it would be easier for her to paint.
Wang Qiong and Xiao Baoxin sat at the side and chatted. As they chatted, they talked about Zhou Weiniang.
Xiao Bao Xin’s heart moved. Wang Qiong was calm and reserved, knowing that she was not on good terms with Zhou Siniang, she wouldn’t bring it up to make people unhappy. There must be a reason.
Indeed, Wang Qiong continued,”
It was said that he had died outside. The Zhou family did not bring him into
the city and buried him in a new grave.”
The rule that had been passed down for hundreds and thousands of years was that an unmarried young lady would not be allowed to enter the ancestral grave after her death and would not be able to obtain the incense of future generations.
At that time, Xu Liuniang was also unable to enter the ancestral grave. If Xiao Baoshu had not married her memorial tablet, Xu Liuniang could only choose a cemetery outside the city to bury her.
It was precisely because of Xiao Baoshu’s righteous acts that the Xu family treated the Xiao family differently.
At that time, Minister Xu was the one who called Xiao Baoshu’s military rank the most. Now, he was also showing it off like his own son. The wife of the minister, Madam Zhong, and Madam Xie had a lot of interactions and could be considered to be on good terms.
Xiao Baoxin didn’t expect to hear news of Zhou Weiniang again, but it was news of her death. For a moment, he was speechless.
When Chu Lingzi and Xiao Miaorong heard this, they walked over as well.
“Zhou Weiqi’s wife is dead?” Chu Lingzi suddenly thought,” Why didn’t I hear anything?” That’s right, the eldest sister-in-law of the First household is Zhou Weiniang’s second sister!”
Xiao Miaorong glanced at Xiao Baoxin. At that time, Zhou Siniang was infatuated with Yuan Chen and did not hesitate to poison Xiao Baoxin to death because of him. It caused a huge commotion.
“Why… Is he dead?”
Wang Qiong shook her head.” I don’t know the exact reason. It was the news that came from the Zhou family. It was only a few days ago, probably the same day Princess Anji broke through the city gate. That day, the Zhou family received the Zhou family’s message and left the city. They only returned to the city the next day. He had been running to the Zhou family for the past few days. He heard that Zhou Siniang had died of illness.”
She said that, but no one knew if she had died of illness.
Zhou Weiniang was going out of the city to cultivate. After a year and a half, she would have to find a place to marry. It was not like she was going to be a nun for the rest of her life, with maids serving her.
If he was seriously ill, how could he not know to return to the Zhou family?
Why did he suddenly die of a serious illness?
However, these were all speculations. Without actual evidence, it was not good to say it on the table. He only knew it in his heart.
As for why Wang Qiong had told Xiao Baoxin this news today, everyone was well aware of it. Although Zhou Qiuniang had poisoned Yuan Jiuniang by mistake, causing the flood to flood the Dragon King Temple and the entire family, her target was Xiao Baoxin.
At that time, Zhou Siniang was sent out of the city. The Zhou family was also angry with Xiao Baoxin. They had never heard of breaking up with the Yuan family.
Now that Zhou Weiniang was dead, it was likely that they had a death grudge.
The Zhou family had been beating her up a lot in the past even when she was close to Xiao Baoxin. Her words were full of thorns. It was obvious how the Zhou family treated Xiao Baoxin. If he died this time, wouldn’t it be Xiao Baoxin’s fault?
After thinking about it, she still felt that she should remind Xiao Baoxin. “Even if Zhou Weiniang died, she wouldn’t be able to blame my sister. She was the one who wanted to poison my sister.”Xiao Miaorong was outspoken and couldn’t help but speak up for Xiao Baoxin.
Wang Qiong shook her head.” It’s because someone from her family died. We can’t change the thoughts of others.””
I don’t have any other meaning, I just want you to know.”
She was afraid that Xiao Baoxin would misunderstand and think that she had the same thoughts as the Zhou family.
“I understand what Aunt Fifteen means.” Xiao Baoxin nodded at her.” Miaorong’s mouth is open.. She doesn’t mean anything else…” Madam Zhou, you’ve made things difficult for you a lot because of me, right?”
