Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law Chapter 748 - 742-743: Madam Xiao: Prince, Sister Yunxi Will

Madam Gan nodded, seeing Madam Xiao’s argunt was reasonable.

On the terrace at the back of the tower ship, Wu Mi sat gracefully in a sandalwood chair. Besides the mansion’s young ladies, Xu Ying and Chu Ran were there too, but without exception, they were all standing.

The river wind blew onto their faces as they gazed at the evening glow on the horizon.

Initially sowhat tense, Madam Xiao and Madam Gan relaxed slightly upon seeing Xu Ying and Chu Ran.

"I am Xiao Qiang."

"I am Gan Qin."

"Greetings, Princess Consort Wei."

Madam Xiao and Madam Gan, both a generation older than Wu Mi, bowed humbly and politely to her.

"No need to bow," Wu Mi said with a smile, raising her hand slightly, then continued, "Soone, serve the tea."

After speaking, she no longer paid attention to them and started chatting with Han Anniang and the others.

After all, they were rely outsiders, so Wu Mi’s warmth was moderate.

anwhile, Yang Qingqing, who had been playing with the four children along with Dabai, also brought the children over. Upon seeing Madams Xiao and Gan, and Xu Ying and Chu Ran, she threw a puzzled glance at them, then turned her attention to Wu Mi.

Because of Dabai, the previously unpopular Yang Qingqing in the mansion had unexpectedly beco rather favored by the four children.

Yang Qingqing was startled and shifted her gaze to Wu Mi.

Witnessing this scene, Wu Mi found herself in a dilemma. As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words; she had always taught the children to be polite to both family mbers and guests, forbidding any rudeness.

Gradually, the children began to spontaneously address Xiaolu, Xia Zhining, and others as aunties.

Yet, Madams Xiao and Gan had not entered the household, so how should the children address them?

After contemplating for a mont, Wu Mi said, "Hurry, call them Aunt Granny."

In Jiangdong, the term Aunt Granny has two anings: it can refer to one’s parents’ aunts or to one’s mother’s sisters.

The children were still young; if Madams Xiao and Gan did not enter the household by the ti they grew up, they would count as Wu Mi’s elders, making the term not incorrect.

If they entered the household, the title would naturally evolve.

"Aunt... Granny," the four children called Madams Xiao and Gan, along with Xu Ying and Chu Ran, in soft, childish voices.

Madams Xiao and Gan, along with Chu Ran, were montarily stunned.

Xu Ying, knowing how to entertain children, crouched in front of Chen Jia, gently ruffled each of the four children’s heads, and said with a smile, "So sweet, but calling Aunt Granny makes sound old. You can call sister in the future."

She was not worried about losing her rank.

The won: "..."

The four children, instead of acting on their own, first looked at their mother.

"Aunt Granny is joking with you," Wu Mi said gently.

The four children did not understand, but knew that after greeting, they could go back to playing with the big cat.

Though White Tiger Dabai felt quite annoyed by these little two-legged creatures, it dared not roar at them, leaving them free to act as they wished on its body.

For a mont, Dabai felt life as a tiger had lost its aning.

Upon resuming their play, Madams Xiao and Gan were imdiately neglected.

Xu Ying and Chu Ran were fine because they had a connection with Xiao Yunxi and could actively engage with her.

Actually, Madams Xiao and Gan could do the sa.

After all, before Chen Mo, they were treated as sisters by Xiao Yunxi.

But when the two ladies offered their smiles, Xiao Yunxi seed not to notice, ignoring them.

Xiao Yunxi vividly rembered how the two won had plotted against her.

In an instant, Madams Xiao and Gan felt embarrassed, searching for things to say; those they spoke to responded casually.

After enduring it for a while, the two ladies could not take it anymore and decided to leave.

Once back in their room, they inevitably aired so complaints.

They had been through a lot as experienced won, yet if it had been young girls in their place, it’s likely that tears would have been shed.

"Acting all superior, if it weren’t for a good family background, she’d be the sa as us," Madam Gan complained.

Madam Xiao knew she was referring to Xiao Yunxi, sighed, and said, "At Prince Huai’s Mansion, she often gave us cold shoulders, and now, at Prince Wei’s Mansion, she still does; she’s truly unchanged."

Although their grumbles continued, they understood that dealing with Xiao Yunxi was beyond their capacity.

After all, there was no one to back them up.

Instead, they had to rely on their family.

After a mont of silence, Madam Gan said, "No way, I must have a child for King Wei. Only a child can support us."

Madam Xiao concurred, nodding; monts later, she let out a sigh, knowing they seldom shared a room with King Wei, making pregnancy difficult.

Despite the difficulty, she needed to find a solution. After seriously considering the matter, she said, "Sister, co over here; I’ll teach you sothing."

...

After arranging for the scholars who passed the palace exam to board the ship and spending a while on the "scholars’ ship," Chen Mo finally returned to the tower ship of the Prince’s Mansion.

In the corridor, Chen Mo headed for Wu Mi’s room, encountering Madam Xiao coming toward him.

"Greetings, Prince," Madam Xiao said, bowing.

Chen Mo nodded: "After traveling for days, you must be tired. Rest early."

Then he was about to walk past her.

Madam Xiao stopped him, saying, "You haven’t had dinner yet, have you? Coincidentally, my sister has prepared so food and wine in the room; why don’t you join us?"

"No need..."

The words were still in his mouth when Madam Xiao added, "Prince, Sister Yunxi will be coming too."

At these words, Chen Mo’s body shivered involuntarily.

He had yet to experience such a situation.

Seeing Chen Mo pause, Madam Xiao internally scoffed "Typical man," then said seductively, "Prince, it’s decided. Sister Yunxi, Gan, and I will be waiting for you in the room."

Having said that, Madam Xiao left.

...

"You’re back."

Inside the room, Wu Mi was about to take off her makeup when she saw Chen Mo enter and quickly stood up to greet him, helping him with his clothes, then said, "Wash your hands quickly, it’s ti to eat."

Chen Mo nodded, looking at Chen Jia asleep on the soft couch, and said, "Jia’Er is asleep."

"Yes, he’s been non-stop since boarding the ship, probably tired from playing. Don’t worry about him, when he wakes, I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare sothing to feed him," Wu Mi said, hanging up the clothes and turning to see Chen Mo had finished washing his hands. She handed him a towel.

Chen Mo took the towel to wipe his hands: "No need to fuss; let’s sit and eat together."

"Okay."

After a satisfying al, Chen Mo held Wu Mi’s delicate hand, raised it to his cheek, and smiled, saying, "Mi’Er, let’s hurry and have another child."

Wu Mi blushed slightly, glancing at the child on the bed, and whispered, "My situation is here; let Sister An accompany you, besides Jia’Er is still here."

Chen Mo showed a disappointed expression, then gently touched her flat belly and said softly, "Alright then, once it’s gone, I’ll properly accompany you."

"Mm, mm."

Wu Mi nestled her head into Chen Mo’s embrace.

They enjoyed a mont of intimacy, then Chen Mo lifted Wu Mi’s delicate face and kissed her.

...

anwhile.

In Madam Gan’s room.

Xiao Yunxi walked in, frowning.

Madams Xiao and Gan imdiately stood to welco her: "Sister, you’re here, please sit, please sit."

"Spare the theatrics, what’s the reason you called for ?" Xiao Yunxi, not at all impressed with them, asked.

Madam Xiao approached to wrap her arm around Xiao Yunxi’s, but the latter dodged. Undeterred, Madam Xiao said, "I know you’re still mad at us; this ti, we’re inviting you to apologize sincerely."

Xiao Yunxi squinted her eyes, sneering, "You have a favor to ask of , don’t you?"

"To be honest, now we’re all the prince’s won; even though we can’t match you, we still have a chance to bear the prince’s children. Perhaps we could beco good sisters in the future, so why keep cold shoulders? Instead, let’s drink tonight and make peace," Madam Xiao said.

Xiao Yunxi snorted coldly and was about to leave.

Outside, Chen Mo entered.

"Prince, you’re here," Madam Xiao imdiately ignored Xiao Yunxi and greeted Chen Mo.

Xiao Yunxi: "..."
