Yuezheng Xiao said excitedly with a smile, “The bergamots that you gave us last time grew so well that I shared two with Brother Xie who gave them to his grandma. She loved it. Do you have any more of those? Please give us some more this time.”

Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan gave that as a gift to Yuezheng Xiao during the Mid-Autumn Day but they did not give it to Xie Jingrong.

That was because her family and the Xie Family were not in a very familiar relationship and a family like the Xie Family would not receive presents easily. They had no idea what to give to them so they gave nothing to Xie Jingrong.

Qiao Xuan smiled. “Yes, I have a dozen on the trees, all growing well. We will need three and four for the New Year, you can take the rest away.”

The bergamots looked really good. Qiao Xuan considered planting some more next year.

Yuezheng Xiao did not turn her down and smiled. “Okay, I will take them!” Xie Jingrong nodded with a smile to express his gratitude.

They did not need to think about what to take and give. They were just exchanging gifts. Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan laughed. They appreciated friends like Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong.

They were just chatting, when Ms. Niu and Widow Sun walked in. Ms. Niu glanced about and her eyes brightened, her heart throbbing in excitement.

These two young masters were so handsome! Look at the clothes they were wearing and the wagon and the servants!

Xie Jingrong and Yuezheng Xiao were not into showing off. They were not exquisitely-dressed for the trip to the Shao Family in the village.

That was why Ms. Niu believed that they were within her league, thus getting extremely excited.

They looked handsome and they had money. They were just right to be her son-in-law.

Yunduan and Ms. Fang were so stingy not to introduce them to her. Now that she was here, she was not going to let them stop her!

“Oh, we have guests over! I have never seen you before. Where are you from, two young masters?

“Oh yes, I am Yunduan’s Second Aunt, married to his real Second Uncle!”

Ms. Niu was glancing at Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong, feeling quite confused and excited at the same time. Both of them looked so nice, which one should she pick?

Xie Jingrong frowned and stayed silent. Yuezheng Xiao smiled, feeling that this so-called Second Aunt of Shao Yunduan seemed quite rough yet she was part of Shao Yunduan’s family. So he was about to answer her when Qiao Xuan stood up.

She took hold of Ms. Niu’s arm and smiled. “Second Aunt, you are here to speak with my mother, right? She is in the backyard, come with me.”

She then glanced at Widow Sun who was rolling her eyes. She asked her straightforwardly. “Aunt Sun, what are you doing here? Visiting my mother

Widow Sun smiled and said, “We are guests and we can, of course, see each other. But Ms. Qiao, you are a junior in the family and you should not speak with me like this in front of guests, right?”

Qiao Xuan had no interest in concealing anything in front of Xie Jingrong and Yuezheng Xiao.

After all, not everything could be concealed or ignored. For example Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma, who always tried to portray as if they were a good, united family.

Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong would not mind the truth about their family situation, since they were friends.

The two of them understood clearly what Ms. Niu was like the moment she showed up. It was totally reasonable when she spoke harshly..
