Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 4
Chapter 4 Be Unfavoured
Nanny Feng subconsciously looked into Qiao Xi’s eyes and made sure that she wasn’t blushing from sentimentality. Then she said with confidence, “Young lady, why don’t you go to Old Madame’s place today?”
Qiao Yunxi remained silent.
“Young lady should go over and thank Old Madame for her concern.” Nanny Feng whispered softly, speaking very tactfully, afraid that she would hurt Qiao Xi’s self-esteem.
The matriarch could not come, but they had to go and report their safety.
Thus, early in the morning, starving, Qiao Xi took two steps to catch her breath, took five steps to stop, and brought Forsythia Suspensa and Astragalus membranaceus to “Glory Hall” out of breath.
Before they could enter the flower hall, they heard songs and laughter, and Qiao Jinwen’s voice was the happiest.
“This splashing monkey is becoming more and more lawless!”
“Isn’t it Old Madame who dotes on you?”
Qiao Xi could clearly feel the good mood of Old Madam Qiao and Nanny Qiao when they heard their voices.
Taking a deep breath, she clutched her handkerchief and forced herself to maintain a dignified posture of straightening her chest and retracting her abdomen. She walked into the room with what she thought was a good lotus step.
It was as if she had calculated the time before her left foot stepped into the flower hall. All the voices stopped abruptly, and the atmosphere suddenly became dull.
The corner of Qiao Xi’s mouth twitched. She buried her head in front of Old Madam Qiao and respectfully blessed herself. “Greetings to grandmother.”
A dry sentence without a head or a tail.
If Qiao Yunxi looked up now, he would definitely see the dislike in Old Madame Qiao’s eyes.
“Qiao Qiao is here. Get up.” Old Madame Qiao’s tone was not good or bad with a long tail.
Knowing that Old Madame Qiao wouldn’t ask any unnecessary questions, Lian Qiao hurriedly helped Qiao Yunxi to the side and sat down.
“Is Seventh Sister feeling better?” The one who asked was Qiao Ningdai, the daughter of the first wife of the second wife.
“Thank you, Fifth Sister, for your concern. I’m fine now, but the blood clot on the back of my head is still there. The manor doctor said that if I drink a few pills and rest more, I’ll be fine. The blood clot will slowly dissipate.” It was rare for Qiao Yunxi to say such a long sentence in one breath.
“That’s good,” Qiao Ningdai nodded at ease. “You don’t know how frightening the situation was that day. Fortunately, Lian Qiao reacted quickly and picked you up from below. Otherwise …”
Qiao Ningdai sighed in fear. She stretched out her hand and poked Qiao Yunxi on the forehead. “Let’s see if you dare to climb up the tree in the future.”
Qiao Xi buried her head wooden.
Knowing Qiao Yunxi’s temperament, Qiao Ningdai didn’t say anything else.
Old Madame Qiao finally said, “I’m just getting better. Why aren’t I staying in the room?”
Receiving Lian Qiao’s hint, Qiao Yunxi said sullenly, “Go back to grandmother. Granddaughter is in good spirits today. I just want to go to grandmother to say that I’m safe, so that grandmother won’t miss me.”
Her original intention was to sell it well so that Old Madam Qiao would know that the moment her body recovered, she would think of Old Madam and come to her side to fulfill her filial piety.
But because of her prejudice against Qiao Yunxi, her words came to Old Madame Qiao’s ears-Qiao Yunxi was spirited today, so she came to see her on the way, and if she was not spirited tomorrow, she would not come.
In Qiao Yunxi’s heart, the honorable Old Madame Qiao was an existence “on the way”.
Old Madame Qiao frowned irritably. “Qiao Qiao has a heart. Your body is not well yet. You need to rest more. It is fine to walk properly, but don’t go too far. Let the people below follow you.”
After a pause, Old Madame Qiao said, “Although our Qiao Clan is not comparable to a distinguished clan, it is still a merchant clan. Normally, I don’t care how crazy you are, but when there are guests in the mansion, you don’t have to avoid them and say nothing. You still haven’t got the rules to go up the tree. Fortunately, the Ma Clan is a close friend of ours. If you really want to talk about it, we are still the masters of the Ma Clan. The Ma Clan will not tell anyone about you. If you are an outsider, you will not only ruin your reputation as a girlfriend, but also the reputation of the other sisters, and even the reputation of the Qiao Clan! ”
“Oh.” Qiao Xi replied dryly again.
Old Madame Qiao was not satisfied with Qiao Yunxi’s answer. She laughed angrily and slapped the table.
“Grandmother, calm down!”
The people in the room knelt down one after another.
Qiao Xi looked left and right in confusion and knelt down under the pull of Lian Qiao.
Sure enough, he didn’t know what was good for him!
Old Madame Qiao narrowed her eyes ruthlessly. “It’s your business if you don’t want fame, but have you thought about your siblings? Although we Qiao Family are not an official family, we are still one of the leading families in Sichuan. Your every move represents the face of our Qiao Family!”
“Old Madame’s lesson is correct.” Lian Qiao did not expect her young miss to say anything that would please Old Madame Qiao. She could only say it on behalf of Qiao Xi. “Seventh young miss is also filial. She wants to make osmanthus cakes for Old Madame. Who would have thought that would happen. Old Madame, don’t worry, Seventh young miss won’t do such a rash thing in the future.”
“I hope so.” Old Madame Qiao warned sinisterly, “This time, if I think of your filial piety, grandmother won’t pursue it anymore. You should take good care of yourself.”
“Yes, grandmother.” Qiao Yunxi quietly rolled his eyes.
She dared to ask for this injury.
Qiao Yunxi sat quietly by the side, neither participating in the show of contending for favor nor taking the initiative to find a topic. She was used to seeing Old Madame Qiao being held by her children and grandchildren, and felt even more unhappy in her heart.
In Old Madame Qiao’s heart, she was the ancestor of the Qiao Clan, the heavens of the Qiao Clan, so she should be held up and flattered by her children and grandchildren. Qiao Xi’s attitude was clearly a challenge to her authority!
Coupled with her prejudice against the long family, this timid and arrogant granddaughter became even more eye-catching.
