Chapter 680: Aunt?

lips into a smile and gently rubbed his head with affection. Her soft voice said, "Ziling, ah, I shouldn't have let you listen to those women gossiping back then. Look at you now, you even learned to...Looking at the two people behind Yun Si, An Xuetang blinked. One of them was someone An Xuetang had met before, Xiao Qin, the Princess of Anle Houfu.

Yun Si first bowed to An Xue Tang before introducing the two people he had brought.

This middle-aged woman turned out to be Xiaoqin's mother, that is, the Lady Xiao of Anle Hou.

An Xuetang looked over. The Madam of the Marquis's Manor was standing straight, clad in a pale blue first-rank lady's attire. Her long hair was styled into a neat bun, with a large pearl adorning it.

At the moment when An Xuetang met Mrs. Hou's gaze, her eyes were soft and a faint smile played at the corners of her lips, giving An Xuetang a very kind feeling.

According to seniority, An Xuetang immediately bowed to the wife of the An Le Houfu.

The Madam of the Marquis's Residence walked over and personally helped An Xuetang up, then slowly said:

"You don't need to be so formal with me. I've heard that the Princess of Beijiang is as beautiful as a fairy, and now that I see you, it's true. Look at your fingers, slender as green onions, and your lips, like red cinnabar. You are truly unparalleled in beauty. To marry you is the fortune of the King of Beijiang."

This remark by the mistress of Hou's mansion was quite face-saving for An Xue Tang. Out of courtesy, An Xue Tang quickly chimed in with some praise for her.

As soon as An Xuetang's words of praise fell, Madam Hou burst into a smile. After recovering her composure, she turned to Xiaoqin and said, "Qin'er, why don't you quickly pay your respects to your sister-in-law"

Only then did Xiao Qin bow to An Xue Tang. After being called up by An Xue Tang, she stood silently behind her mother, obviously unwilling to say more.

The Dowager Madam looked at her daughter's attitude, stunned for a moment. However, she quickly came to herself and personally pulled Xiaoqin over, smiling at An Xuetang:

"Tang'er, don't mind, Qiner is just a little shy. You two will get along well after you know each other better."

An Xuetang smiled, "I understand."

She naturally understood why Xiaoqin was treating her this way. After all, the last time they met, Xiaoqin had misunderstood her and Jiang Qingyang's relationship.

And Xiao Qin clearly had a liking for Jiang Qingyang, so in this situation, she wouldn't give An Xuetang a good face. However, she still maintained her proper etiquette, which actually impressed An Xuetang.

At this time, Feng Ming who was still in the courtyard took the initiative to pay respects to the madam of the Houfu, also giving An Xuetang some face.

The mistress of the Hou mansion was shocked to see Feng Ming's appearance. Such a handsome man was rare in the world.

"Almost forgot to introduce, this is my elder brother, Feng Ming."

The Madam of Hou's Residence narrowed her eyes slightly, "Brother How did I hear that your mother only bore you one child, Tang'er"

An Xuetang smiled, "This story is a long one, Madam Xiao. If you'd like to know, perhaps we should go inside and sit down"

"Well," Mrs. Xiao nodded, she didn't know what she was thinking about either, but her eyes looked at Feng Ming in a very complex way right now.

...while Feng Ming understood the situation at Anle Houfu and knew that the mistress and young miss of the household posed no threat to An Xuetang, so he took his leave at this time. ...

He certainly didn't want to continue listening to them talk about women's topics here. He'd rather spend his time researching how to operate on people.

Here are all women, An Xue Tang did not keep him, letting him return to his own courtyard first. She took Lady Hou and Xiao Qin into the room.

An Xuetang was held by hand by the Houfu's madam, "Tang'er, don't call yourself Madam anymore. Lao Sheng has a good relationship with your mother, so just call me Auntie like Jing'er does, how about that"

As for the Marquis of Anle's residence, Mo Yunjing had mentioned it to An Xuetang before. She also knew that the mistress of the Marquis of Anle's residence had been kind to her family's Ah Jing when she was a child. So this time, when she brought it up proactively, An Xuetang readily nodded in agreement, "Yes, aunt."

"Oh, how wonderful." Madam Xiao gently patted An Xuetang's hand. At this moment, she seemed to be thinking about something, her emotions becoming somewhat agitated:

"Tang'er, you must treat Ajing well. These years, he has had a hard time. It's all my fault as your aunt. I haven't been able to protect him."

As she said this, Mrs. Xiao's eyes were gradually reddening, with tears glistening in them.

Seeing this, An Xue Tang quickly patted her on the back and comforted, "Aunt, no matter what happened in the past, it's all over now, isn't it Now, Ajing has grown up and has the ability to protect himself, so Aunt doesn't have to worry so much for him."

At this time, Xiao Qin held a handkerchief in her hand and gently wiped the tears from Madam Xiao's eyes, saying, "Mother, didn't we say not to bring up sad things today Why did you bring it up again It's all in the past."

Mrs. Xiao smiled awkwardly, "That's right, we said not to mention it, look at my memory, I forgot again."

After saying that, she looked at An Xue Tang, "Tang'er don't mind, this old woman is just easily sentimental, don't let your mood follow suit and become bad."

"Aunt, it's alright."

As she spoke, An Xuetang poured her a cup of tea. "Aunt, please have some tea first,"

Thank you.

Xiao Qin then, with a blank expression, took the teacup from her mother. She glanced at An Xue Tang with complicated eyes, and then said to her mother, "Mother, don't say these pointless things. Let's talk about something important."

If we don't speak now, once the King of the Northern Border returns, what chance will they have to say anythingish, the less suffering he'll endure."An Xuetang chuckled, "Alright, alright, you make sense. I won't argue with you."Several people ate durian in the small courtyard. After they dispersed, the smell...
