Chapter 524 The Original Wife Who Was Replaced with a Daughter or a Son 5
"Mother, I will go wash up first, and then come over to have dinner with you after I see Chunxi and her daughter."
"Go!" The old lady said, then looked at her son and turned and walked out.
"Madam, have a cup of tea!" Madam Mu, the old lady's confidant, presented her with a cup of freshly brewed tea.
The old lady took a sip from the teacup, and then said quietly, "Tell me, has Aunt Xiao ever regretted it? The scholar I found for her passed the imperial examination last year and became a second-class Jinshi. If Aunt Xiao hadn't been so confused, she would have been an official's wife now. How could she end up being an unfavored concubine? Not only that, but even her children would not be welcomed by Baichuan."
"Madam, you worry too much," said Madam Mu, curling her lips. "How could an ungrateful person like Aunt Xiao regret anything? She would only blame others for her own misfortunes instead of looking for the reasons in herself."
"But then again, I didn't expect that Master would become so cold to Aunt Xiao after he married Madam. You know, I was worried that Master would be bewitched by Aunt Xiao and would do something to favor his concubine over his wife after he married Madam."
"I didn't expect this either," the old lady said. "Fortunately, Baichuan is not confused when it comes to women. Otherwise, if he treats Chunxi badly, how can I face Chunxi's mother underground after a hundred years?"
When she mentioned her best friend, the old lady couldn't help crying again.
How dare that old bastard Zhenbei Hou do that!
Yes, the old lady also believed that her good friend was killed by Marquis Zhenbei.
Fortunately, the old villain Zhenbei Hou also received his retribution. Since the new emperor ascended the throne, the influence of Zhenbei Hou in the court was eliminated one by one by the emperor. Now, except for the title of marquis, the old villain Zhenbei Hou has no real power in the court.
Wu Baichuan came to Jiang Chunxi's yard with a dark face. Fortunately, there was a screen between them, otherwise Jiang Chunxi would have been disgusted to death facing Wu Baichuan's dark face.
"Chunxi, what's wrong with you? Do you know that I stayed up until midnight last night to name the child?" Wu Baichuan said angrily as soon as he sat down. "But you asked mother to name the child as soon as she came back, so that all the nice names I gave the child were useless."
"My dear husband, it's just a name. Why are you so angry?" Jiang Chunxi said angrily. "Besides, what's wrong with the name given by mother? Are you dissatisfied with the name given by mother, or are you dissatisfied with me for not giving you a legitimate son?"
"You..." Wu Baichuan was naturally very angry. "How many times do you want me to tell you that I don't favor boys over girls? Don't say such things again in the future. Otherwise, when the child grows up and can understand human language, if he hears you say such things, the child will feel very upset."
As he spoke, Wu Baichuan's tone softened: "After all, our daughter is our first child, and she is also my eldest daughter. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the apple of my eye. As a father, I naturally hope to give her a name."
"But now my mother has intercepted me. Do you think I can feel happy? Isn't it natural for me to be angry? Not only do you not understand my feelings, but you are also angry with me. It's because I dote on you too much that you dare to ignore me."
"Haha!" Jiang Chunxi sneered, "I thought I was being gentle and considerate to my husband, but he didn't take it to heart at all! He even turned the tables and said that I didn't take you seriously. Is he hinting at my arrogance as a wife?"
"In that case, I will continue to be arrogant and domineering in front of you. If I don't let you experience my power, you, Wu Baichuan, really think that I, Jiang Chunxi, am made of clay."
This is Wu Baichuan's own fault, so he can't blame her. With what she just said, if she changes her attitude towards Wu Baichuan in the future, it will only make him angry and will not make him suspicious?
After all, she was still counting on Wu Baichuan to exchange the child, so she naturally couldn't let Wu Baichuan have any doubts about her, otherwise what would happen if Wu Baichuan backed down?
"You are simply unreasonable," Wu Baichuan stood up from his chair, his tone was indescribably angry, "You should reflect on yourself in the next few days. When you realize you are wrong, I will come to see you again."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Baichuan started to leave, and as soon as he left, Ning Duo immediately walked in from outside.
"Madam, when I saw the master walked out, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He was really saying the cruelest words, and he was even happier in his heart," Ning Duo said with disdain, "He said something about asking Madam to reflect on herself, as if Madam was looking forward to the master coming over. If the master is not happy to see Madam, do you think Madam is happy to deal with him?"
"Okay, why should you be angry with someone like Wu Baichuan?" Jiang Chunxi said with a smile, "I feel sticky all over and feel uncomfortable. Go get me some hot water to wipe my body."
"Yes." Ning Duo walked out immediately.
After Wu Baichuan accompanied the old lady for dinner, he returned to the front yard. After nightfall, he secretly came to Aunt Xiao's yard.
"What?" Aunt Xiao's face turned ugly after hearing what Wu Baichuan said, "So, not only can we not use the names we decided on for our daughter last night, but we also have to use the name that old hag gave her."
"Alas!" Wu Baichuan sighed helplessly, "There's nothing we can do about it. Now the child's name has been decided by that old hag. How can I, as her son, object?"
"Ah!" Aunt Xiao screamed in anger, "Why doesn't that old hag just die? And that bitch Jiang Chunxi, she really finds ways to make trouble for us."
"Alright, alright, stop being angry," Wu Baichuan said as he hugged Aunt Xiao in his arms, "You are in confinement now, you can't lose your temper, otherwise it will hurt your body and you won't be able to recover."
"I don't want to be angry, but Jiang Chunxi and that old hag are really good at causing trouble for others," Aunt Xiao said aggrievedly, "Baichuan, how long are we going to endure such a life? I really can't stand it any longer."
"Alas!" Wu Baichuan sighed again, "Just bear with it! What else can you do?"
Aunt Xiao was so angry that she hit Wu Baichuan on the chest, but she didn't say anything else in the end. After all, according to the current situation, she and Wu Baichuan had no choice but to continue to endure it. They couldn't kill that old hag and Jiang Chunxi!
