Chapter 843: Xu Family: I Have a Benefactor
The second young madam of the Huo Family poured a cup of tea.She originally intended to drink it, but in her frustration, she hurled it at the opposite wall.
Next door, Huo Shaojun and his wife were still in loving harmony.
Their soft voices seemed to mock her inability to win her husband’s affection.
Lu’er rushed in, alarmed.
She carefully cleaned up the shards, while consoling her: "The Second Young Master must truly have something important. You can rest easy, grand young madam. You’ve given birth to two grandsons for the Huo Family, nothing can compare to that!"
These words greatly pleased Chen Xishan.
She held her forehead, murmuring softly, "Yes, no one can shake my position in the Huo Family! So what if Shaoting has thoughts about that woman? He always comes home for important family occasions."
Lu’er refilled her cup of tea, and said, "Tomorrow is the Xu Family’s wedding. The Second Young Master will surely drink, so be gentle and coax him to come home!"
Chen Xishan watched her closely.
Lu’er cleverly added, "If you were to get pregnant, your status would be even more precious. Even if the Second Young Master didn’t want to come home, the old master would ensure he returns every night."
In truth, Chen Xishan didn’t want to have any more children.
But she loved Huo Shaoting dearly, and to earn his affection, she was willing to carry another child.
Perhaps with more time spent together, Shaoting would forget that woman!
...
In the blink of an eye, the marriage of the Xu family’s daughter arrived.
The Xu Family held a grand banquet the day before the wedding.
The distinguished figures of Yangcheng all turned up, and the Huo Family attended in full.
The old master of the Huo Family escorted the new concubine, while Huo Shaojun held his wife’s hand, both very much in love.
The second young madam of the Huo Family looked at her husband.
Huo Shaoting was quite gracious to his wife in public, accompanying her to socialize.
Chen Xishan enjoyed the feeling of being by her husband’s side, being addressed as the "Second Young Madam". It was only at such times that she felt this man truly belonged to her.
She became even more gentle!
In a moment, the men inevitably gravitated towards their own gatherings, leaving the Huo women seated together.
Yin Mingzhu wore a sensual dress and lightly fanned herself, delightfully asking, "Why haven’t we seen Su Ruanruan? Is it because she suffered at our second young madam’s hands and is too embarrassed to show up?"
The grand young madam of the Huo Family smiled slightly, "Few can stand against Xishan."
Chen Xishan felt a bit proud but still, mindful of her heart, she made a caustic remark: "I can’t compare my relationship with Shaoting to the love between big brother and sister-in-law."
The grand young madam of the Huo Family was adept at yielding; she smiled and said, "We strive day and night just to have a child. If I fulfilled the task, your big brother probably wouldn’t even care to look at me."
She praised her sister-in-law: "Shaoting loves and values you, entrusting you with family affairs. That is a true testament of love."
The second young madam of the Huo Family smiled reservedly.
Yin Mingzhu gave a cold laugh: "What kind of love and value is that?"
It’s just about keeping the wife so busy she has no time to pester him!
The look from Yin Mingzhu was caught by the second young madam of the Huo Family, but she wasn’t angered.
She’s just waiting to get her hands on the land and teach this concubine a lesson properly!
As the three madams of the Huo Family each harbored their own thoughts, Mr. and Mrs. Xu appeared carrying champagne.
Benefiting from the auspicious occasion, Mr. Xu was in high spirits.
He addressed the distinguished ladies present with words of gratitude, then ceremoniously introduced his beloved daughter and son-in-law.
The applause was continuous.
Mr. Xu smiled and asked everyone to put down their hands, saying: "My daughter’s marriage was fraught with challenges, but I received guidance and assistance from an esteemed person!"
In the audience, the second young madam of the Huo Family smiled reservedly.
She had indeed sent a gift, but hadn’t expected Mr. Xu to elevate her by calling her an esteemed person.
Mr. Xu continued, "I also know what everyone is most concerned about, which is nothing but that piece of land! Today, I’ll be straightforward and bring about double happiness!"
Another round of applause erupted.
Many in the crowd were already in the know, whispering below.
[It must be the second young madam of the Huo Family.]
[Exactly, no one else has that capability.]
[This was decided early on.]
