"Ah?" After hearing what Aunt Xia said, Mother Xia looked utterly confused.
This irritated Aunt Xia even more, and she couldn’t hold back any longer. She stepped forward, pushed Mother Xia to the ground, and roared, "Second son’s family, are you showing off on purpose? Using my son’s filial piety to flaunt in front of me?"
Mother Xia was startled and finally understood the young lady’s meaning. She waved her hands hastily, saying, "No, no, sister-in-law, I didn’t mean to show off!"
But how could Aunt Xia listen?
Aunt Xia went straight forward, grabbed Mother Xia’s hair, and swung her to the ground, "Zhao Chunxiao, what is so great about you? You who cannot even bear a son!"
"How come? Now that you’ve picked up a son, you come to flaunt him in front of me?"
"I’m telling you, he is my son, my son!"
Mother Xia, who was struck but still not angry, was shocked by Aunt Xia’s words and finally snapped back, "Sister-in-law, you can’t say that. Chengzong has already been adopted into our second branch, he is our child now!"
Despite her lack of strength, Mother Xia refused to back down on this point, clenched her teeth, and argued with Aunt Xia.
During the New Year’s festivities, the two women caused a huge scene.
Some onlookers couldn’t stand it anymore, came forward, and pulled Aunt Xia away, while Mother Xia? She covered her face and cried on the ground.
Finally, after everyone had pulled Aunt Xia away, Mother Xia cried for a while longer before suddenly hearing a gentle voice.
"Second Aunt, what happened?"
This voice was very familiar. She looked up and saw, "Er Lan? You, when did you come back?"
Indeed, it was Xia Lan.
Xia Lan, with her two long braids hanging in front of her chest and dressed like an unmarried woman, approached with an incredibly gentle expression.
"Second Aunt, are you hurt?" Xia Lan asked caringly, helping Mother Xia to stand up.
Hearing Er Lan’s concern for her, she grabbed Xia Lan’s hand.
"Er Lan, you really are a good child, a good child, remembering to visit your Second Aunt on New Year’s Eve." Mother Xia immediately looked touched.
Upon hearing this, Xia Lan’s expression softened even more.
"Second Aunt, let me help you inside," Xia Lan said gently as she assisted Mother Xia.
However, in her heart, she was thinking: What an easy fool to exploit.
Once they were inside, Mother Xia suddenly asked, "Right, Er Lan, why aren’t you with He Qing?"
"Weren’t you supposed to come back together?"
Hearing the name He Qing, Xia Lan’s expression momentarily looked unnatural.
This garbage man, she must have been blind in her past life to have married him!
If it wasn’t for He Qing, she wouldn’t have plotted against Xia Chuyi, thereby offending Huo Shiqian...
All in all, from her past life, Xia Lan didn’t want to talk too much.
Things from the past, in this life, some had happened, and some had changed.
After integrating the memories of her two lives, Xia Lan found there were doubts.
Everything changed on the night Xia Chuyi was set up by her.
Xia Lan suspected, could Xia Chuyi also have been reborn?
Therefore, after sorting out the issues in City G, and severely blackmailing that wannabe fat pig, she returned to her hometown.
Xia Lan wanted to find out, could Xia Chuyi really be reborn?
Upon her return, Xia Lan saw Aunt Xia and Mother Xia fighting. She had watched indifferently from the sidelines until everyone walked away, then she pretended to be the good person and came forward.
"Let’s not talk about He Qing for now, Second Aunt, I have a few questions to ask you..."
