Chapter 638 Baochai is bored
After a long while, she finally stood up, stood in the tent, opened the door, and the moonlight came in and enveloped Miaoyu. At this moment, Miaoyu was holy and beautiful. She swayed her waist and danced under the moon.
"Reach out and pick a reed, Apo, pick this reed flower, thinking of brother-brother-ah yiyo..."
This was the song she had just heard a barbarian girl singing to her lover.
Beautiful songs floated out of her mouth, she danced alone under the moon, it was like heaven on earth!
…
Ever since the news of the end of the war in southern Xinjiang came, the atmosphere in the entire Jia Mansion suddenly became a little more relaxed, especially the girls, who were practically counting the days, looking forward to the day when they would hear the news of Jia Cong's return.
Yuanyang and the others from the East Palace, as well as Youshi, Keqing, Qingwen, Xiangling, and Xiaoqueer, cleaned the Ningzheng Hall inside and out countless times, as if Jia Cong would be able to return immediately after the cleaning was completed.
The East Palace is very lively today, and Daiyu, Baochai and other young sisters have all gathered here.
It’s not that there is anything else, but today is Xiao Xichun’s birthday, so Yuanyang and the others specially hosted a party to celebrate for Xiao Xichun.
Everyone was drinking and having fun, and it was naturally very festive. However, the protagonist, Xiao Xichun, only ate half of her meal, and instead ran to the yard with Xiao Que'er to play.
The rest of the people didn't care and sat in groups of three or four chatting.
"Sister Bao, have you written a letter to your third brother?" Seeing that no one else was paying attention to them, Daiyu asked Baochai in a low voice.
Baochai smiled and nodded, "Now that the war is over, I think the reply will arrive soon."
Counting the time, it has been more than a month since they sent the letter. However, the daily correspondence is naturally not as fast as sending military reports. For a round trip of thousands of miles, more than a month is already very fast.
Daiyu also nodded happily, looking forward to what Jia Cong would say in his reply and whether he would bring back any gifts for her.
The two of them exchanged a few words in a low voice. Daiyu pulled Baochai closer and asked, "Sister Bao, how is your aunt these days?"
Baochai gave a bitter laugh, "After all, it's just living behind closed doors."
Daiyu wasn't just asking about Aunt Xue that day. Baochai naturally wouldn't air any of the Xue family's dirty laundry. But how astute was Daiyu? Ying'er usually stayed with Baochai, but she hadn't seen her for several days. Suspicious, she approached Baochai about the incident. Although it was over, Baochai was still troubled, and since she and Daiyu were close, she told her the story.
Although Daiyu shared the same hatred for the enemy, she had no way to do anything about this matter. Or rather, even if she could, it was not her place to point fingers. After all, she was Xue Pan's wife and Baochai's sister-in-law. Even Baochai couldn't say much, so how could she, an outsider, speak up? Therefore, she could only offer a few words of comfort occasionally.
Hearing that Baochai was still a little upset, Daiyu held Baochai's hand and whispered some comforting words.
Is Xia Jingui smart? She is quite clever.
After failing to achieve her goal of becoming king for the first time and being beaten, she summarized and reflected, and finally came to two conclusions. The first conclusion was that she did not control Xue Pan well enough. At least when facing Aunt Xue or Baochai, she could not guarantee that Xue Pan would stand on her side.
The second conclusion is that I was too anxious and wanted to suppress both Aunt Xue and Baochai at once. I was too eager for success.
So, without waiting to recover from her injuries, Xia Jingui went straight to Aunt Xue the next day. She knelt down and apologized without saying a word, saying that she had drunk a few glasses of wine and lost her mind, which had angered Baochai and Aunt Xue. She had reflected on the beating she had received the previous day and had come to confess her sin.
It was certainly not easy for Aunt Xue to calm down, but when she saw Xia Jingui's bruised face, she couldn't help but sigh. After all, she was her daughter-in-law, and she had only been married for a month. As the mother-in-law, she could set the rules, but letting her kneel here like this would make people think that she was mean, or that the Xue family could not tolerate others.
Therefore, even though he was still angry, he just cursed Xia Jingui a few times and sent her away .
Unexpectedly, Xia Jingui would come to Aunt Xue every day to greet her and act like a well-behaved young wife. Even when Aunt Xue asked her some harsh questions, Xia Jingui would agree without hesitation. As the days passed, Aunt Xue's anger subsided. Perhaps that day the new daughter-in-law had been truly filial to her and treated her son very well. Baochai even knelt down to apologize without regard for age, and even Ying'er was rewarded with money.
Aunt Xue naturally didn't want to make things difficult for her son. After all, wouldn't they be the couple living together in the future? Therefore, not only did the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along well, but the entire Xue family also became harmonious.
With the support of Aunt Xue, Xia Jingui began to take her next step and use Aunt Xue to control Xue Pan.
On weekdays, whenever there was something and Xue Pan did not do what she wanted, she would cry, pretend to be sick, and act pitiful in front of Aunt Xue.
Aunt Xue knew that her son was a bad boy, and he became even more confused after drinking. In addition, she didn't want her son and his wife to fight with each other, so she scolded Xue Pan several times.
As time went on, Xue Pan no longer dared to provoke Xia Jingui. After all, if he did, he would be punished by his mother, so he just ignored her.
Having achieved her goal initially, Xia Jingui regained her confidence. The next step was to control her sister-in-law who seemed a bit clever.
When both the son and daughter are under her control, how can Aunt Xue, as a mother-in-law, do anything to her?
I have to say that Xia Jingui's steps were not wrong, but sometimes plans can't keep up with changes...
…
The girls played all day long and only dispersed in the evening.
"I guess the girls are still staying at home today." Yuanyang said with a smile.
Daiyu said, "Thank you very much for your kindness, sister. However, I have been away from home for several days. Today, father is lucky enough to be able to leave early, so I should go back and pay my respects to him. So I came here early tomorrow morning, and it is only a few steps away."
Baochai, who was standing by, also said that she wanted to go back, but Xiangyun and Baoqin were dragged away by Xichun without even saying a word. It was obvious that they wanted to play until midnight.
"Okay, then I'll ask Jia Zhong to harness the carriage." Yuanyang replied.
Muring, who was standing by, also spoke up, "Shiya , Mohen, the two of you, please take Sister Lin and Sister Bao back on behalf of me, Sister Yuanyang, and Sister Xiuyan."
