The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 193: Observance will last forever
Mrs. Xiao would not be moved by Mrs. Xiao's negative emotions. She looked around and shouted to the servants brought by Mrs. Wang: "You guys go and guard outside. Don't come near unless called!"

The two servants were both indentured servants of the Lu family (workers who had signed a contract), so they would not be manipulated by Madam Xiao with just one word. However, she waited and looked at Madam Wang.

Madam Wang glared at Madam Xiao, but waved her hand to signal the two servants to retreat. The two of them bowed, but leisurely retreated outside the courtyard.

Mrs. Wang hugged the baby and said angrily: "There are no outsiders here, but if you have anything important to say, please tell me! Cousin, I can warn you in advance. If there are still those individual branch adoption matters, you'd better tell them in advance Don’t open your mouth!”

Madam Xiao said: "Cousin, please don't look down on me. I'm not that boring. If it weren't for the survival of your family, who would have nothing to do but get involved in your Wang family's scandals!"

The so-called "unfair things" here refer to the overt and covert struggles among Wang Anshi's ambitious students and followers who wanted to seize Wang Xianggong's political legacy by intervening in Wang Anshi's line of succession. .

For example, there was a similar fight between Lu Huiqing, the former number two figure in the reform faction, and Zhang Dun, the new leader. Fortunately, Wang Wang Anshi's brothers were more sensible and did not intend to cooperate with them.

Madam Xiao said, "Do you still remember Madam Pang from the Wang family who was remarried by her old husband?"

Mrs. Xiao was startled for a moment, but said: "Why did you mention her?! How could I forget my uncle's (brother-in-law's) Mrs. Pang? She is a taboo in the Wang family, but I haven't heard anyone mention it for many years. ”

Madam Xiao turned to Madam Wang, who was listening with her ears pricked up, and said, "Cousin, what I am going to say is not appropriate for a child to be present. Please take the child out to avoid harming her!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Wang raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "You scoundrel! Don't use my good girl as an excuse! I brought you here with good intentions, but you kicked me out! But I don't believe you have anything important to do with me. I can’t hear it!”

Madam Xiao didn't want to think about it, but she shouted sternly: "Cousin! Do you think I'm joking with you? I said this child can't be here, I have my own reasons! But it's not to drive you away! And take the child out, don't let it go I tried to chase you away, but it didn’t look good!”

Madam Wang was so angry that she hugged the child and stamped her feet angrily: "You, you! You rogue! I... I won't listen! It's like no one dares to listen! Do this again in the future? Don't come to me for this kind of thing! Bah!"

However, Madam Wang went out angrily while holding the child in her arms.

Mrs. Xiao saw her daughter leaving angrily, but she couldn't help but sighed and said: "Xiao Xiao'er! If even Jin'er can't hear what you said, what's the point of listening to me? Whatever you say! Just go ahead, I don’t want to hear it anymore.”

Madam Xiao said sternly: "Does Auntie think I'm looking for an excuse to chase my cousin away?! What I said is the real truth. My cousin can actually hear what I say, but the child can't."

Mrs. Xiao only smiled slightly and shook her head.

Mrs. Xiao said: "My aunt should be considered half-informed about what happened in Wang Er's office back then. How come she didn't know what happened to the only boy in the third generation of the Wang family. What I said today would be difficult to explain in front of my cousin. If my child talks about it, I'm afraid she won't escape a similar fate."

Mrs. Xiao's expression changed drastically, but she screamed: "Xiao Xiao'er, what do you mean by this?!"

Madam Xiao took a deep breath and said: "Aunt, when I wanted to lure you into the gathering of the daughter-in-law's family ([Mulan Ji]), you refused to come. In this way, you missed a lot of the truth of the world. There are many things in this world. Children cannot hear taboo secrets, even if they do not understand them. Just like the grandson of the Wang family in the past, he was told things that he should not hear. "

Mrs. Xiao's face became ugly, but she asked: "I want to know, what kind of secretive children can't listen?"

However, Madam Xiao pulled out a one or three-inch long bone-edged dagger and whispered: "The child from the Wang family back then, Madam Pang's son is still alive!"

As soon as these words came out, not only did Mrs. Xiao's expression change drastically, but an unwarranted cold wind suddenly blew around her.And just when Mrs. Xiao said these words, in Jiangning Mansion, thousands of miles away (the straight-line distance from Kaifeng to Nanjing is more than 600 kilometers, about 200 miles), in the Jixi Temple, which worships the gods of the three mountains and five mountains, an order came out. A creepy Jie laugh suddenly sounded.

I could only hear someone saying to himself in a voice like grinding teeth: "That child? That child is still alive? Geez! He's not dead! Hahaha - we knew that the child was not that fragile! Hiss -"

Outside the palace where the owner of the voice resided, several Taoist priests were already panicking, and one of them shouted: "It's not good! The evil madness has struck again!"

But in the Huayan Ni Temple in Bianliang, Mrs. Xiao couldn't believe what her niece said, and she just shouted: "You... you kid, don't talk nonsense! I saw that with my own eyes back then. The child’s body was burned to ashes, and the ashes were buried in the Luze Garden! How could he survive?! I don’t believe it!”

Madam Xiao glanced around, especially those corners. She took a bone-edged dagger and took a look at them all. Then she felt relieved and said, "Auntie, you don't know that human corpses can be faked, especially It’s the remains of a small child, so it’s easier to fake it.”

Mrs. Xiao shook her head and said, "I still can't believe it. What's the point of going through so much trouble to deceive the remains of a child who died in infancy?"

Madam Xiao said: "Of course it is to protect the child who actually did not die!"

Mrs. Xiao's eyes widened, she looked at her niece in inexplicable horror, and murmured: "You...you mean, that brother from my uncle's family never really died? How is this possible?! What evidence do you have? What?"

Madam Xiao smiled and said: "Evidence? Pang Min'er herself is the evidence. Her disciples spilled the beans! She herself is not denying it. It is said that the child is now a highly skilled martial artist, very impressive."

When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she sat down on the ground, her tears couldn't stop flowing out, and then she burst into tears.

You know why Mrs. Xiao is so rude, but it is the pain in her heart that is really difficult to tell others.

Wang Jinggong was a great man of his generation. He had two sons, but he did not have a single well-established man. He only had a widowed mother and a daughter who lived in mourning. As a result, the family fortune withered and the situation declined, which was extremely miserable.

Mrs. Xiao did not return to Jiangning Mansion, but chose to live alone in the temple. She was willing to remain poor in order to maintain the last bit of character left by Wang Jinggong.

The last daughter-in-law of her Wang family is not someone who looks up to others!

If you just stick to this bit of character, it would be a lie to say it’s not bitter!
Mrs. Xiao had also been shaken and despaired, but she still survived.

Now hearing this news from Madam Xiao, it means that Madam Xiao's long-term persistence is not the last struggle, but the real reward after suffering.

Maybe someone said, isn't he just a nephew?Not his biological son.

But in the Song Dynasty, the children of such biological brothers, especially men, were no different from biological sons to Mrs. Xiao.

If that child recognizes his ancestor and returns to the family line, he will be the man who founded Wang Jinggong's lineage and is a real family member that she and others can rely on.
