Chapter 1272 The Widow Queen

Time passed quickly, and it was finally the day that Mrs. Rong was looking forward to the most, when the clan members came to visit.

Qin Wansha had made plans early in the morning. She found an excuse the day before and sent Mr. Rong and Mrs. Rong Zhang to a hot spring resort in the suburbs for vacation, leaving her alone to deal with the aggressive clan members.

Mrs. Rong and the people from the second and third rooms got up early, and almost couldn't wait to go to the main hall to wait for the arrival of the clan members.

And they were not disappointed, the clan members arrived not late.

Almost after breakfast, the clan leader took the lead, and all the invited Rong family elders and clan leaders arrived.

"Why haven't you seen the uncle's family yet?" After a few polite greetings, the clan leader asked Mrs. Rong.

Old Madam Rong wiped her tears and said palely: "You don't know, clan leader, now the whole mansion is under the control of the maid of the eldest house, and she hasn't gotten up early to greet me for several days."

"How unreasonable!" The clan leader immediately slapped the armrest heavily, making a dark sound.

With the clan leader leading the way, the other clan members immediately followed suit and began to criticize Qin Wansha for "not knowing etiquette".

"Forget it, forget it, I didn't argue with the younger generation in the past, but today since all the clan elders are here, it's natural to ask that family to come over. I'm not the mother of the uncle, and I can't control him much. Today, please ask the clan elders to preside over justice for me, an old woman. Nan Xiang, go and ask the uncle to come over."

Nan Xiang, who received the order, was embarrassed, but she immediately responded and turned around and left.

The remaining elders began to persuade Mrs. Rong to "rest assured": "You are the second wife of the old uncle. Even if you are not the biological mother, you are the adoptive mother. No matter what, the old uncle Rong should also respect you as mother. Since you are a mother, there is no unfilial etiquette!"

"Don't worry, old lady. Today, we old guys will teach this family what the rules and etiquette are!"

Mrs. Rong was happy to hear this, but she still had to make a sad expression on her face. The second and third wives accompanied her and also comforted her softly.

But compared with the inexplicable certainty in the hearts of Mrs. Rong and the third wife, the second wife always felt that even with these elders, today's matter might not be so easy to solve.

Thinking of this, the second wife also looked outside - Rong Xinlan alone was no longer a fuel-saving lamp.

Nan Xiang, who was carrying the order of Mrs. Rong, lowered her head and walked quickly towards the courtyard where the big house lived. Speaking of which, Nan Xiang was also very familiar with this courtyard.

She was old, but Madam Rong was reluctant to point her to a good family. Nan Xiang had to choose from the Rong Bo Mansion. After a few visits, she actually had some private affairs with Rong Erye.

But Nan Xiang was a wise person. She knew that without Madam Rong's consent, if she and Rong Erye made their relationship public at the same time, not only would the Second Madam and her family not tolerate her, but even Madam Rong would be disgusted with her.

That was why Nan Xiang had been waiting for an opportunity to make Madam Rong "notice" something and then point her to the Second Master in person.

Unfortunately, Nan Xiang had not waited for this opportunity. The courtyard she used to visit often had already changed owners.

When she thought of the Second Master's family now huddled in that cramped little courtyard, Nan Xiang felt a little depressed. Fortunately, she had not given herself to the Second Master. If she was really divided, she did not want to follow the Second Master to leave Rong Bo's Mansion and suffer outside.

With all kinds of worries in her heart, Nan Xiang still walked to the gate of the courtyard of the big house.

Outside the courtyard that she could enter at will, there are now two guards who are not familiar to Nan Xiang.

As soon as they saw Nan Xiang, the two men immediately looked at her fiercely.

Nan Xiang was also startled, but she still went over and bowed to the two men: "I am Nan Xiang, the eldest girl beside Mrs. Rong. Today, the clan leader and the clan members came to the door. Mrs. Rong sent me to invite the family of the Lord to the main hall for a small gathering. Please help me, two warriors."

Before the two people could speak, another female voice came from the yard with a sneer: "Sneer, it's really funny. The Hongmen Banquet a few days ago also said that the Lord's family was invited to a small gathering. Today, it's here again. I don't know what kind of gathering today is?"

Hearing the voice of the magpie, Nan Xiang looked up with surprise, and sure enough, she saw the magpie that had disappeared for several days.

What Nan Xiang found even more unbelievable was Xi Que's words and attitude...

"Xi Que!" Nan Xiang shouted with surprise, "Why are you here? The old lady and I have been looking for you for a long time that day!"

Xi Que didn't believe a word of Nan Xiang's words.

"Oh, thank you for your concern." Xi Que sneered and walked slowly to the door and said.

For Xi Que's attitude, Nan Xiang had a bad premonition in her heart, and at the same time, there was a surge of anger in her heart, which was naturally directed at Xi Que's betrayal.

However, at present, she still needed to do the work of the old lady Rong, so Nan Xiang naturally couldn't release this anger.

Still smiling, Nan Xiang looked Xi Que up and down closely, "Are your injuries healed now? I didn't find you, and I thought about the injuries you were beaten by the eldest lady that day, which really made me anxious."

If Nan Xiang hadn't said this deliberately, Xi Que might have believed her true meaning. However, Xi Que knew Nan Xiang best. Although she looked gentle on the surface, she was actually full of bad intentions. She had seen all the ugly things with the second master, but she was too lazy to say it out.

"Sister Nan Xiang, you are really joking. It was you who brought people here that day, and it was the old lady who sent people here. What does it have to do with my master?" Xi Que directly refuted back: "Besides, I treated the master so badly before, and the master just wanted to teach me a lesson, which was also right. What's more, the master specially sent someone to invite a doctor to treat me. If it weren't for the master, I would have died today."

As Xi Que said this, Nan Xiang's heart became colder and colder, and her smile became hopelessly stiff.

Xi Que just liked to see Nan Xiang's awkward look. Just as she was about to tease Nan Xiang a few more times, she heard hurried footsteps behind her. Then, Xi Juan came running over and asked, "Sister Xi Que, what are you doing here? The young lady is still waiting for us to serve her in the room - eh? Isn't this Nan Xiang who is beside the old lady?"
