Although it was just a bastard child, it was still a happy occasion for the middle-aged Elder Official Xie to have such a fawn. As a result, no matter what position they held, all the people in the imperial court gave their gifts, and the adults who were invited to the competition had almost filled the entire Xie Family's front courtyard, while the wives and grandmothers in the backyard were all present as well. With a quick glance, it was clear that it was a lively competition.

When Xie Jingxi arrived, many of the wives and grandmothers surrounded her. Xie Jingxi was already familiar with them, so she spoke warmly to them, and currently, Xie Jingxi's enthusiasm was no worse than the Lady Xu. Other than that, she had more opportunities to enter the palace than the Lady Xu, and the circle of people she knew was one level higher.

Xu Jingshu had always been by Lady Xu's side, and curiously sized up this, "Aunt, is this the third elder cousin?

Lady Xu's eyelids twitched, "She is a popular person in the capital now. If you have nothing to do, you can say a few more words to her.

Xu Jingshu understood and slowly walked through the crowd until she was right in front of Xie Jingxi, then sweetly greeted, "Greetings third cousin."

Xie Jingxi was talking to Mrs. Chen and the others when she interrupted them. Everyone looked at her curiously, but Mrs. Chen asked first, "Who is this?"

Xie Jingxi replied indifferently, "I am sorry to have called you Mrs. Chen, but it is also my first time meeting her, so she should be cousin Xu Family."

"Jingshu greets the other wives. I've just arrived at the capital, and my cousin indeed doesn't recognize me. Madam Xie is my aunt, and I often hear her nagging about my cousins, saying that their third cousin is the most outstanding, that she wants me to get closer to her."

Even Mrs. Chen felt that this girl was being too enthusiastic, Xie Jingxi just smiled, if Lady Xu could call her that, then she would be living a ghost. Xu Jingshu had always seen people talking nonsense, even if she was good at acting, he would still scheme, and the entire Xu Family would probably depend on her.

Seeing that Xie Jingxi seemed to be a little far from her, Xu Jingshu stuck to her like a piece of dog skin paste and started talking, all by herself, she caused the wives who were originally surrounding Xie Jingxi to gradually run away. In the end, Sixth Miss even came out and shouted, "Cousin sister Xu Family, can you come and help me for a bit?

With that shouted, Xu Jingshu could not refuse. She wished that she could show off in front of everyone, and that they could become friends with the girls in the capital, so she could go and take care of them.

Now that the Sixth Miss had become her own daughter, it was inconvenient for her to show herself, so she busied herself with making preparations. Seeing that her heart was growing, Xie Jingxi was very pleased, and Mrs. Chen came closer to him, "The more I see of your family's Sixth Miss, the more I like them.

The six young ladies happily ran over to Xie Jingxi's side and affectionately held her arm. "Third Sister Sis, I missed you so much that I wished for you to come back so I wouldn't have the time to talk to you."

"How old are you to act coquettishly to me?" Xie Jingxi scratched her nose, "Mrs. Chen is here, I don't know if I should be embarrassed."

"Nice to meet you Mrs. Chen, why would I meet you?"

Xie Jingxi shook her head, "I am sorry for making you laugh, Mrs. Chen, but you are still a little girl who hasn't grown up yet."

"No way, the Sixth Miss is so cute and naive. I really like her from the bottom of my heart. I wonder if she has a match with someone else?"

No matter how foolish he was, he could understand what Mrs. Chen meant. It was just that other than Chen Du, the Chen family did not have any suitable Young Noble to marry with. Could it be that she wanted Sixth Miss to be her daughter-in-law?

Even Xie Jingxi felt that it was absurd, Chen Du was already twenty years away from the Sixth Miss, and being his father was enough, not to mention the fact that the Sixth Miss could not find his in-laws, as long as he insisted on marrying their Chen family, and furthermore she had once been embarrassed by the Chen family, although Mrs. Chen did not know about it, Chen Du was clear about it.

"Sixth Miss is still young, I'm afraid father isn't in too much of a hurry, we can stay for a few more years, does Mrs. Chen have a suitable family to introduce?"

Mrs. Chen replied with a question, but it was not clear in front of Sixth Miss, she only laughed vaguely: "I do indeed want to arrange a marriage for Sixth Miss, but for the time being, there isn't anything suitable. Your family loves this lady, I'm afraid they don't want to marry her so early."

When Mrs. Chen said this, Xie Jingxi was even more certain, and could only vaguely explain why she said that, thinking that no matter what, he should not let Xie Cen know the meaning of Mrs. Chen's words. If she knew, perhaps a hundred of them would agree, and Chen Du would be a good match for him, but he was still too old, and was also involved with Xie Cen's matters, so she wronged Sixth Miss a little.

Putting aside the others, wouldn't Big Sis and her husband know about it now? If she didn't agree with Xie Cen's political views, when the lady was stuck in the middle, both sides would be inhumane, so she didn't want the Sixth Miss to suffer such grievances again.

However, the most important thing was fate. Xie Jingxi wholeheartedly wanted to dispel the thought of becoming the Mrs. Chen, but that Sixth Miss had met with Chen Du.

The banquet of Xie Family was set up in the flower garden, and before the banquet began, Sixth Miss was walking all over the place like a butterfly, one moment directing the table and chairs, another moment personally serving tea and water, and another moment carrying a tray with water. She was not paying attention to her feet yet, when she twisted her legs on a small rock, she was about to throw them all onto the ground.

Sixth Miss screamed in shock. She closed her eyes and was ready to fall, but the expected pain didn't come. Her hands lightened and the tray was taken away.

Although this posture was rather old-fashioned, this was the truth. She was lucky enough to not fall down because she was stopped by someone. Sixth Miss opened her eyes in panic and met Chen Du's pair of slightly deep eyes.

Chen Du was of the type that was more stable, he did not talk much, but the feeling he gave was very dependable, he had a profound and wise look that ordinary people did not have, one that was very attractive if one looked at him closely, especially to girls like Sixth Miss who did not need to worry about him.

Sixth Miss blushed for the first time from the bottom of her heart. With a panic that was not her usual self, she said, "Thank you, Sir, for your help."

Seeing that she was able to stand steadily, Chen Du retracted his hand and said: "It's nothing."

Just as Sixth Miss was searching her stomach to say more, Chen Du started to speak first, "Young lady should be more careful, it's best to find a doctor to see if she sprained her leg."

Then, without waiting for Sixth Miss to say anything, Chen Du left first. Sixth Miss stood there in a daze for a long time without replying, as if she had forgotten to ask his name, and would be able to thank him in the future.

In fact, the simple fact that the six ladies didn't understand each other without a teacher was what it meant to be in love with someone at the beginning. This was what it meant to be in love with someone at the beginning, and she also seemed to have a family background.

No one had expected that he would be able to achieve a marriage in the future. Of course, this was something that would come later.

A lot of people had gathered in front of the Lady Xu to visit him. Since her birth, the Sevent Brother had always been by her side, and suddenly arrived in front of the Lady Xu, feeling somewhat unfamiliar with it, crying non-stop. It was just that the children were crying and making fun of it, surrounded by a group of people who were playing around, chattering nonstop.

Xie Jingxi was quite far away from Xie Jingyi so they could only watch over Niu Niu and Brother Rong. Niu Niu raised her head and asked, "Is the little kid hungry?

Xie Jingyi consoled her, "She's probably hungry, even when you were young."

Niuniu nodded, as if she understood something. "Niuniu is so stupid. She must be missing her mother. You left your mother for a while, didn't you cry like that too?"

The two adults couldn't help but be surprised. Niu Niu laid on Xie Jingxi's lap and asked, "Aunt, is it like this? Where did the little kid's mother go?

Xie Jingxi used her hand to point at her nose, "Then Third Aunt would like to know if Niu Niu is willing to be carried by Third Aunt."

Niu Niu nodded and threw herself into Xie Jingxi's embrace, "Niu Niu is willing to let Aunt hug her because Aunt's body is very fragrant." "It must be because they smell too bad, right? Niuniu didn't like being surrounded by them either, the little one is really pitiful."

Xie Jingxi laughed and placed her on her lap, "Then does Niu Niu want to stay at my aunt's house for a few days?"

Niu Niu bit her finger and looked at Xie Jingyi uncertainly. She looked like she wanted to go but didn't dare to reply, "Mother …"

Xie Jingyi looked at Xie Jingxi embarrassedly, "It's better not to trouble you, this little thing is the one that's the most worried. Your family has a lot of things to take care of, and since Niuniu is so obedient, your Third Aunt is busy, and I don't have time to play with you."

Xie Jingxi rubbed her head, "Big Sis will be fine. When Gu Yun isn't home, I also feel bored so I told her to go and accompany me for a few days. You should also take it easy."

Xie Jingyi didn't know what to say, and sure enough, his third sister wasn't mistaken. She was in such a difficult situation, neither Lady Xu nor Xie Jingqi said anything about helping her, and she didn't feel at ease guarding her mother's family in the capital at all.

The Lady Xu naturally didn't have this kind of mental fortitude. Just the Third Aunt and Sevent Brother alone were enough for her to waste some effort. Someone's wife asked, "Why didn't I see my aunt come out?

Seeing that his patience was about to be exhausted, he smiled and said, "Aunt's health has not been very good ever since she was born, so I told Aunt to take care of me, and Aunt doted on me, preparing to place brother in your place, so I have been personally taking care of him, I am probably a little tired, and came to this life, but I have never seen such a scene before."

Xu Jingshu was a talker, with a few words, she had fooled her wife. Everyone kept praising Lady Xu for his benevolence, as if being able to raise a concubine and her daughter under her mother's name was a huge honor, if she were to enter the family tree in the future, she would be no different from her son. But what she did not know was that Lady Xu did not want to keep these bastards anymore, ever since the incident in Nan, she had been wanting to stay away from them.

The Third Aunt and the Lady Xu were at odds, how could he dare to place the Sevent Brother in the Lady Xu's room? He had blown too much wind with Xie Cen over this matter, and because there was the matter of the Nan in front of him, Xie Cen did not dare to ask the Lady Xu to keep him here. This was originally a wishful thinking, but because Xu Jingshu was present, this matter became what it was today.

Xu Jingshu had come up with an idea for the Lady Xu, saying that the Third Aunt was currently being pampered. Xie Cen had practically been sleeping at the Third Aunt's place all day, and even had great hopes for the Sevent Brother himself. Moreover, giving him such face showed that the Lady Xu was magnanimous. On Xie Cen's account, maybe she could ease the situation in the palace.

The truth was that Xu Jingshu had deep thoughts, and it could be seen just by looking at the full moon feast that Xie Cen had prepared for Sevent Brother. If it wasn't for Lady Xu bringing Sevent Brother over to her side, she wouldn't be able to enjoy the glory of Lady Xu today, and would have already been snatched away by the Third Aunt.

Furthermore, the Third Aunt's body wasn't in a good condition at all, she was being held up by the Lady Xu, preventing her from leaving. This Xu Jingshu was able to lie easily, and had great talent even when she was playing on the spot, and the Lady Xu had listened to everything she said, so no matter how she looked at it, it was not a good omen.
