Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 497 Sister-in-law reminisces about the past

Pingyang's eldest sister-in-law, Xie, had been married to the prince for the longest time, so the relationship between them was even deeper. At noon that day, Pingyang had just woken up from a nap, and Yuzhu replied that Xie had invited her to come over for dinner.

Pingyang got up and packed up, then took Yuzhu to the yard of his elder sister-in-law. The eldest brother Pingyang is the heir apparent, so the Xie family's courtyard is also the most impressive among the younger generations.

Pingyang entered the courtyard and walked along the bluestone corridor to the main house. He happened to meet his eldest brother Zhao Xuan and his side roommate Meng who were walking out.

Before Pingyang could speak, Zhao Xuan joked at Pingyang from a distance: "Pingyang is here to get a meal from me again, right?"

When Pingyang saw her brother, she had a smile on her face and stepped forward to reply: "Brother, you know I'm here to eat, but you still want to go out? Are you avoiding me on purpose?"

Zhao Xuan laughed loudly and replied: "You girl, you are still so talkative. How dare I hide from you? Some friends came today. I am going to meet them."

Hearing this, Pingyang looked at Meng who was standing behind Zhao Xuan and asked, "Brother is so gentle. He brings his sister-in-law along with his fellow members."

Hearing the sound, Meng stepped forward and saluted Pingyang slightly, and replied softly: "Princess, don't make fun of me."

This Meng family grew up next to Pingyang's concubine. She was the same age as Pingyang. The two were not close friends, but they were old acquaintances.

Pingyang looked at Meng subconsciously and said, "We haven't seen each other for a few years. My sister-in-law seems to have lost a lot of weight, and her complexion is not very good, but is she feeling bad?"

Hearing this, Meng glanced at Zhao Xuan who was standing aside, and then replied with an embarrassed smile: "I was ill a while ago, and I haven't recovered yet, so I look a little haggard."

Zhao Xuan turned around and gathered Long Meng's cloak, and said to Pingyang: "Your sister-in-law has always been weak. She has been worried too much in the past two years, and her body is even worse than before."

A few people were chatting here, and Mrs. Xie came out with two maids. When she saw Pingyang, she smiled and greeted: "I was waiting in the house and you didn't see you coming. I couldn't wait to come out and have a look. I didn’t expect you to be chatting with your brother here.”

When Mrs. Meng saw Mrs. Xie, the smile on her face faded, and she bent down and gave her a slight salute. Mrs. Xie seemed not to have seen her, and only talked to Pingyang: "Come in quickly. I asked the kitchen to make your favorite bad fish, and it has just been cooked."

Hearing this, Zhao Xuan smiled and said to Pingyang: "Since you came, your sister-in-law has been racking her brains to prepare delicious food for you every day. You can follow her quickly."

Pingyang smiled and nodded in agreement, then said goodbye to Zhao Xuan and Meng, and followed Xie into the main room.

Xie's children had just returned from school after lunch. When they saw Pingyang, they happily came up to greet her and acted coquettishly. The servants had already laid out the food, and Xie warmly welcomed Pingyang to sit down.

The aunt and sister-in-law took their seats with their four children. Mr. Xie diligently served Pingyang with his own hands and kept talking about his children.

"Your eldest nephew is not only good at reading, he is also skilled in bow and horse. Although my second and third sons are not as good as my brother, they are still top-notch in private schools. And you, my little niece, take a look. , is she born very beautiful?"

 They are a royal family. As long as they are carefully cultivated, their descendants will naturally be outstanding.

Pingyang looked at his nephews and nieces and praised from the bottom of his heart: "My sister-in-law's children are all good, and my sister-in-law is really lucky."

Xie stroked her bulging belly and complained with a smile: "There are too many children to worry about."

As she said that, she asked Pingyang: "How are your children? I heard that the eldest sister entered the palace and became the princess's companion, right?"

When it came to the children, the aunt and sister-in-law naturally had endless topics to talk about. There were no outsiders around. The two chatted while eating. They just waited for lunch. After Mr. Xie ordered someone to take a few children out, the aunt and sister-in-law sat across from each other. I drank fragrant tea.

Ms. Xie still never left the children. Pingyang couldn't help but ask: "Sister-in-law, how are you and your eldest brother doing now?"

Mr. Xie was stunned for a moment when Pingyang asked, and then said with a smile: "We are an old couple, what else can we do, let's just stay the same." The aunt and sister-in-law have a close relationship, and Pingyang doesn't take Mr. Xie out of the way, so he directly Asked: "I see that eldest brother is still very interested in that Meng family, don't you mind about this?"

Mr. Xie put down the tea cup and replied: "It would be a lie to say that I don't care at all, but it doesn't matter. I have known your eldest brother for a long time, and the friendship is there."

After saying that, Mrs. Xie looked at Pingyang and said sincerely: "I am different from you. You were very happy with your uncle before you married him. This is the night of the bridal chamber when I met your husband for the first time. Haha, since I got married, I don’t have much hope for him either, hey, as long as he respects me, I don’t care too much.”

Mrs. Xie picked up the tea cup and took a leisurely sip, then continued: "I am not the only one who is tired after worrying about so much. So, although Mrs. Meng has won your brother's heart, what can she do? She is not going to lie down on me. Being petty and humble, you can’t even make the decision to have a child by yourself, haha, you can’t be happy with everything, I’d rather be more realistic, I have a lot of girls here, it’s much better than her just clinging to the little affection she has with men.”

Pingyang sighed: "Sister-in-law used to be a sensible person, but now she is becoming more and more understanding."

Xie smiled and said: "I was worried about this when I was young. As I get older, my mentality matures. Speaking of which, women can mature faster after having children."

As he said that, Mrs. Xie subconsciously pointed to the West Courtyard where Mr. Meng lived, and said with a sneer: "A while ago, your eldest brother got a new beautiful girl. He had been doting on her for a few days, and I didn't even raise my eyebrows. The one in the West Courtyard I accidentally drank poison out of my mind, but luckily I was discovered early by my maid, and I narrowly escaped with my life."

Hearing this, Pingyang recalled how frail Meng looked when she saw her just now, and sighed: "I said why she looked so ugly just now. It turns out that this is what happened."

Mrs. Xie replied: "So I'm just saying, I am guarding this group of children, and my mood is more real than her caring for men. Oh! She is also approaching her thirties, but she still has such a childish mind. , she didn’t even think about it, so what if she died, the man’s discomfort would be over in just a few days, and she had to take a life, and it was not for men to do as they should. I don’t believe that your elder brother would never give up because of her death. Touched the woman next to me."

Pingyang sighed: "That's why women in high-ranking families value children. As long as they have children by their side, their spirits will be supported and their hearts will be stronger. Like Meng, even if she is favored by her husband, she will never be happy. "
