Chapter 860: Ownership of the Pair of Cards

Zhao Xiran's wedding night was destined to be a sleepless night because of the conflict between the two princes.

In the morning, she met the exhausted Shao Huaan. He had been discussing with Shao Jing in the study until now. When he returned to the room, he saw Zhao Xiran still sitting on the bed, feeling extremely guilty.

"Xiran, I'm sorry, I really can't leave. Why haven't you fallen asleep yet? Didn't I ask someone to come over and tell you to sleep first?"

Shao Huaan couldn't leave for a while, but he still remembered Zhao Xiran and asked his servant to come over and notify him.

"It's okay, I'm actually not very sleepy." Zhao Xiran said softly, with a gentle smile even showing on his face, but this smile looked far-fetched, and it was obvious that she was also very tired.

Shao Hua'an couldn't help but feel a little distressed. He raised his eyes and looked out the window. He took the hand of Zhao Xiran who stood up and said, "It's still early. Let's get some sleep before going to recognize our relatives!"

Zhao Xiran nodded meekly and helped Shao Huaan take off his outer clothes. The two of them lay down and rested for about an hour before getting up.

When the young couple packed up and went to the living room of the main house, they only saw Shao Jing, Third Master, and a few younger sisters in the flower hall. I heard that the Tai Madam and the Third Madam were both bedridden and could not come over to recognize their relatives.

Although acknowledging a relative is just a ceremony, it is an important event for the couple to gain recognition from their husband's family. The wife rejecting the marriage at this time on the grounds of being ill is a slap in the face to the couple, and may even make people think that the wife does not intend to marry him. It means recognizing.

Any newlywed would feel aggrieved when she married into her husband's house, but the elders in the house didn't even show up to acknowledge her relatives. What's more, she stayed alone all night long last night.

Shao Huaan glanced at his wife with a gentle expression, and quietly reached out his hand to comfort her. He was full of guilt for Zhao Xiran.

Zhao Xiran raised his head and smiled sweetly at Shao Hua'an, with a bit of grievance, but no resentment, which made Shao Hua'an soften more and more. This matter obviously had nothing to do with Xiran, why did her grandmother and father have to say that it was with the Zhao family? Relatedly, Zhao Mansion is his in-law family, why don't you want him to be well!

But he had explained this to his father again and again last night, but his father just couldn't explain it. Shao Huaan felt very dizzy thinking about it.

He liked Zhao Xiran, and it was Zhao Xiran who he fell in love with at first sight. He had been involved in it for so long, and now he finally got the beauty he wanted, but he unexpectedly caused so many things.

The woman he admired was actually doubted by his father and grandmother. Even though she had suffered so many grievances, she did not complain to him at all, and even comforted him by saying that she was fine.

How could it be okay? This is what happened!

Shao Hua'an secretly thought that no matter what the elders in the house thought of Zhao Xiran, he would definitely treat her well and never let her suffer too much.

Without the Tai Madam and the Third Madam, and what happened yesterday, the Xingguo Duke's Mansion became the Xingguo Marquis' Mansion, and everyone was unhappy. The originally joyful recognition banquet was very silent and solemn, and no one was in the mood to smile. Not to mention Shao Jing's preoccupied look, even the ladies who had not left the cabinet had no smile on their faces.

When receiving the gift from Zhao Xiran, they each bowed their knees to express their thanks.

Then after receiving the gift, he stepped aside.

Aunt Yu appeared at the door. After entering, she handed the pair of cards in her hand to Shao Jing: "Guo... Lord Hou, this is the pair of cards that the madam asked the old slave to send. Let the new lady take care of the house. The third lady is now My body can’t stand it!”

This is actually a helpless matter. There is no official person in charge of the inner courtyard of the mansion. When the third lady took charge of the affairs, she knew that it was only temporary. She did not expect that such a thing would happen now. How could the third lady take over again? As expected, the next thing to be done is Shao Wanru's marriage, and there is no room for any mistakes.

Of course the original intention of the mansion was to help the Third Madam take charge after Zhao Xiran entered the mansion. With her help, it would be easier for the Third Madam. She could also learn first, but now the pair of cards were directly sent over. It meant leaving everything to Zhao Xiran.

"Father, my third aunt was originally in charge. It's inappropriate to let Xiran take charge at this time! She just entered the house and doesn't know much about anything!" Shao Huaan stepped forward and refused.

"There are so many people sick and dizzy in this house right now. Who else is there besides her?" Shao Jing said impatiently. His originally smiling face showed no smile at all. When he looked at people, he looked a little gloomy. It is no longer the smiling doughy look of the past.

"Father..." Shao Hua'an wanted to say something else, but Shao Jing had already stood up and strode out. If he hadn't wanted to recognize his relatives, he would have gone out to inquire for information at this time.

As soon as Shao Jing left, Mr. Shao also walked away.

The hall fell silent, a bit strangely. There should have been quite a few people recognizing their relatives, at least the elders of the Shao family who were relatively close to them, but now there was nothing except Shao Jing and Mr. Shao. There are only three elders here, but the remaining ones are the eldest couple, Shao Huaan.

"Third sister." After a strange silence, Zhao Xiran walked towards Shao Caihuan, smiled at her, and said softly, "Third sister, third aunt's health is not bad, but what do you need? If you need anything, just come with me. He said, although I don’t know how to take over now, I will definitely handle the matter well!”

Shao Caihuan's face was ugly. She raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Xiran. Her eyes were very cold and gloomy. She didn't respond at all to Zhao Xiran's advances. She made a big fuss in the wedding room yesterday and was punished. After acknowledging her marriage, she will be imprisoned in the Buddhist prison. No one is allowed in the palace.

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Seeing that she had a cold face and said nothing, Shao Cailing took over. She actually didn't know what happened yesterday. She just thought that her sister was crazy to do such a thing.

Qinglai felt an inexplicable feeling of guilt towards Zhao Xiran.

"You're welcome, we will be a family from now on." Zhao Xiran smiled and his eyes fell on Shao Wanru who was standing at the edge, "Fifth sister, the next month may be very busy. If there is anything wrong with what I do, Good thing, please forgive me, Fifth Sister!"

After saying that, she knelt down and saluted Shao Wanru. Shao Wanru ducked to the side, dodged her salute, raised his watery eyes, and smiled slightly: "Sister-in-law, you're welcome!"

This was said in a very distant tone, without the slightest hint of intimacy.

Zhao Xiran didn't take it seriously, but still looked at her with a smile and said: "If Fifth Sister needs one, please be sure to tell me clearly, otherwise I really don't know what it means. Third Aunt's health is not good, I I will take charge of the third aunt for a while, if I don’t do well, don’t get angry, I will try my best to do my best!”

She glanced around the three sisters, and her words became more gentle and appropriate.

Seeing her being so generous and taking over the messy internal affairs without any complaints, Shao Huaan felt distressed and sad, and inexplicably a little more annoyed. His eyes fell on Shao Caihuan and he frowned.

If people were dissatisfied with Zhao Xiran, it was because Shao Caihuan broke into his new house for no apparent reason and made a scene, making it seem as if Zhao Xiran was the culprit.

After hearing what Zhao Xiran said, Shao Wanru bowed sideways to her, knowing what she meant.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. Grandma even punished me by being grounded in the Buddhist hall!" Shao Caihuan was the first to turn around and leave. She didn't want to see Zhao Xiran for a while. There were some things she didn't think about. The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was right, especially Under the current circumstances, Shao Caihuan felt more and more that Zhao Xiran was sinister and did not want to stay with her at all.

"Third sister, I'll accompany you there!" Although Shao Cailing thought Zhao Xiran was innocent, Shao Caihuan must be her biological sister, so she would naturally follow Shao Caihuan.

"I didn't sleep well last night, so I went back first!" Shao Wanru smiled slightly.

Since everyone was leaving, there was naturally nothing left to stay. After everyone dispersed, Shao Wanru went to Piaoyun Courtyard.

"Miss, the third lady really doesn't care anymore?" Yu Jie curiously looked at the flower hall behind her and said in surprise.

Shao Wanru shook his head, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly: "The third lady will not let go so easily!"

The third wife was not taken seriously in the first place, and her third uncle's job was just a casual job. In the past, he didn't have much money on hand. Now that his two daughters are older, the third wife must want to save more. She has always been in trouble before. Let it go until the manager gets it, but how can he let it go now that he's reaped the benefits.

Throwing everything to Zhao Xiran now is just defeating her.

Besides, even for that little money, the third lady would not let Zhao Xiran go. She made things like this on the first day she entered the house. If others didn't know about it, how could the third lady not know that her daughter was clearly raped by Zhao Xiran? He was the instigator, otherwise it would not have been possible to cause such a big disaster.

But it happened that we couldn't talk about this kind of thing, we could only knock out our teeth and swallow it in our stomach.

Of course, after losing something and gaining something, how could the third lady really watch Zhao Xiran safe and sound.

"Miss, what does the madam mean?" Yu Jie thought for a while and asked again. She was worried about another aspect. "In the past, the third lady was handling the affairs of the young lady's dowry, but now it falls to the eldest grandma." , I suddenly understood what the madam meant, and she actually gave the pair of cards to the grandma!"

There are many things involved in Shao Wanru's dowry. Even if the third lady is familiar with it, it is very troublesome to prepare. Now that it is Zhao Xiran who has just arrived at the house, Yu Jie really has no confidence.

"Nothing will happen to this!" Shao Wanru said calmly. She is not worried about this matter. This matter is related to the royal family. No matter whether it is the third lady or the queen in the past, it is impossible for her to neglect her. Besides, something like this has happened now. , Xingguo Houfu did not dare to owe the royal family any more, and even the title was lowered by one level. It was not only a first-level relationship, but also a strong warning.

The people in the house understand a lot, and Zhao Xiran is a smart person right away!

"Did you find out anything yesterday?" she asked casually.
