Is the emperor cremated today?

Seeing Xiao Duo lowering his eyes and looking cold, Mrs. Xu wanted to step forward and take a good look at him, but she stopped and looked at Xu Miaoyin aside. She held her hand affectionately and said, "If Feng Lin hadn't stopped me, , I also want to pick you up at the pier, is the journey going smoothly?"

Although she was talking to Xu Miaoyin, Mrs. Xu kept looking at Xiao Duo, who had his eyes lowered.

Xu Miaoyin was about to reply when she saw a beautiful woman coming out of the gate. She took the cloak from the maid behind her and put it on Mrs. Xu with a smile. Come on, mother and cousin, why don’t you go in and talk.”

After saying that, he glanced at Chen Fenglin who was standing aside. Chen Fenglin turned away uncomfortably.

Xu Miaoyin suddenly found it interesting. She could make a romantic and talented person adopt her mind and cultivate her nature, and she could also show an expression of wanting to say something but not daring to say it. It seemed that this cousin-in-law, Mrs. Zhuang, was also a wonderful person.

When Mrs. Xu heard what her daughter-in-law said, she felt that such a group of people standing outside the gate talking was disrespectful, so she smiled and said, "Let's go in and talk properly."

Xu Miaoyin and Mrs. Zhuang gently supported Mrs. Xu towards the mansion, while Xiao Duo led the obedient Awan and walked behind them. After Chen Fengling ordered the housekeeper, he followed them in.

When they arrived at Xu's Chunhui Hall, after the guests and hosts were seated, Zhuang ordered the maid to serve tea and sat next to Chen Fengling. Xu Miaoyin was pulled by Xu to sit together.

Mrs. Xu looked Xu Miaoyin over.

Seeing Xu Miaoyin following her without hesitation, she always had a faint smile on her lips, her expression was demure and dignified, and her words and deeds were all unmistakable. If she hadn't known her life experience, she wouldn't have been able to tell. This kind of appearance and demeanor comes from the merchant.

Mrs. Xu secretly nodded, feeling very satisfied with the adopted daughter adopted by her brother.

When Mrs. Xu was looking at Mrs. Xu, Xu Miaoyin was also secretly observing Mrs. Xu. Now she finally knew why she felt that Mrs. Xu was familiar just now.

Xu was somewhat similar to her mother, not in appearance, but in her gentle temperament, which made Xu Miaoyin feel much closer to her.

After some pleasantries, Mrs. Xu said: "Although I said you would go to the palace in a few days, I still want you to get to know everyone in your family. Since you have just arrived, you should rest and freshen up first, and we will meet you again during dinner. Acknowledge yourself."

After saying that, he asked Zhuang to lead Xu Miaoyin and his party down to rest. Chen Fengling took Xiao Duo to the outer courtyard. Xu Miaoyin led Awan and followed Zhuang through the verandah to the courtyard next door.

The courtyard is not big, but it is full of elegance, and all the furnishings are newly purchased. It can be imagined that the Chen family attaches great importance to Xu Miaoyin's arrival.

Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "Cousin, let's see if there is anything else that needs to be added or changed. I'll ask someone to do it."

Xu Miaoyin also smiled and replied: "This is a great place. I'm very grateful to my cousin." After saying that, Xu Miaoyin bowed to Mrs. Zhuang.

The smile on Mrs. Zhuang's face became even brighter, "Cousin, there's no need to be polite, we're all part of the same family, there's no need to live apart."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Zhuang lowered his eyes and looked at Ah Wan, who was being held by Xu Miaoyin. His smile became softer and softer, "This is Ah Wan, he looks like a well-behaved and obedient child."

Ah Wan looked at Mrs. Zhuang who had a smile on her face, and then looked up at Xu Miaoyin. When Xu Miaoyin nodded with a smile, she softly called out: "My cousin is fine."

Although Mr. Zhuang didn't have any children yet, he loved children very much. Seeing that Ah Wan was a well-behaved and sensible person, she felt indescribable love for her in her heart.

"I have prepared some things for you, and I will send someone to deliver them in a moment. You have worked hard all the way, so take a rest first, and I won't disturb you too much." After saying that, he nodded with a smile and left the yard.

Xu Miaoyin was really tired, so she asked someone to fetch water, and she and Ah Wan washed up. She planned to take a nap and let Yu Qiao call her after an hour, then she took Ah Wan to bed and went to sleep.

The dinner was served in Xu's Chunhui Hall. Chen Fengling's two brothers and sister-in-law also arrived, plus several children at home. The whole family looked at it happily. Xu Miaoyin met everyone and bowed to each other. The gifts prepared were distributed to everyone, and then a maid came to announce that the dinner was ready.

Everyone sat down at separate tables, one for women and children, and one for men, with a screen in the middle.

The Chen family has a harmonious family tradition, so the sisters-in-law are easy to get along with, and the children are all well-behaved and obedient. After a meal, everyone enjoys the meal.

The men's seat was different. There was Chen Fengling, who knew how to eat, drink and have fun. Soon it became lively, and people wanted to drink together.

Xu Miaoyin was a little worried about Xiao Duo.

But Mrs. Xu held her hand and said, "Don't worry about that child. They have known each other since they were young. They have their own sense of discretion and let them play."

After hearing this, Xu Miaoyin saw Xiao Duo drinking with them with a relaxed expression through the screen, so she felt relieved and followed Xu and his party to the inner hall.

Mrs. Xu patted Xu Miaoyin's hand and said softly: "You must be curious why I was so excited when I saw Xiao Duo. The late empress, Xiao Duo's mother, is my cousin. She has been close to me since she was a child. Xiao Duo was five years old. He passed away, and Xiao Duo's child also suffered a hard life. Although he was the prince, he was not valued by the late emperor. The late emperor was a violent and lustful man, so he was alone in the East Palace, and later he lived among the people. I also heard that Feng Ling said, I also want to thank you for taking in and taking care of him all these years, and I thank you on behalf of his mother."

It turns out that the Xu family is Xiao Duo's mother's family. No wonder Mrs. Xu looked so excited when she saw Xiao Duo. It makes sense that Xu Xian would recognize her as her daughter. However, this generation seems a little confused.

Mrs. Xu seemed to see her confusion, so she smiled and said: "Royal marriages never value seniority, only family background. You don't need to worry. The Xu family will support you if anything happens. You can live in peace before entering the palace. You can also walk around.”

Xu Miaoyin could feel Xu's concern, so she said sincerely: "Thank you, aunt, for your concern. Miaoyin took note of it."

On the day she first arrived at Chen's house, although Xu Miaoyin was a little nervous at first, she gradually relaxed after spending half a day with her. All the cousins ​​​​were also very easy to get along with, and they introduced Yu Jing to Xu Miaoyin one after another. He also told her about interesting things and told her that he would take her out for a nice walk before she entered the palace. Xu Miaoyin was so kind that she agreed to all of them.

It was getting dark soon after talking and laughing like this. When Mrs. Xu saw that it was getting late, she ordered someone to see if the men who were still drinking had dispersed. When she learned that they were all drunk, Lingding was helped back to each room. Then he let the daughters-in-law disperse and go back to take care of their husbands.

When Xu Miaoyin returned to her yard, she asked Yuqiao to make sobering soup and deliver it to Xiao Duo. Yuqiao ordered her to go, and then Xu Miaoyin ordered someone to fetch water for Awan to wash up, and asked Xu to share it. Bai Shao, the maid who took care of A Wan, took A Wan to rest next door, so that she could have some free time and asked someone to prepare bathing water, intending to take a dip in it to relieve her fatigue.

After taking off her clothes and stepping into the tub, Xu Miaoyin took a comfortable hot bath.

It was already half an hour after she put on her pajamas and walked out of the clean room. As soon as she turned around the screen, she was grabbed by a pair of big hands and wrapped into a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar embrace.

This startled her, and just as she screamed, she was suddenly kissed on the lips.

Someone is going to be a hooligan!
