Chapter 228 The Cannon Fodder Wife in the Ancient Time Traveling Novel 35
Soon it was the day for Madam Hou to leave her mourning. Xia Xiaoxiao had presided over a mourning ceremony before, so she was familiar with the process. Offering sacrifices, removing mourning clothes, changing from white to red... The whole process went smoothly, and Madam Hou was transformed into a spirit tablet and placed in the Leng family's ancestral hall.
The Marquis' Mansion opened the door that had been closed for three years, and Xia Xiaoxiao also appeared in everyone's sight. The wife of the Marquis of Wu'an has been in mourning for six years since she married into the Marquis' Mansion seven years ago! From a little girl in the Imperial Censorate, she has now become dignified and steady in her every move, and she handles things in a measured way, freely and calmly, and has completely transformed into a real Marquis' wife.
The three children were well educated by her and could help their mother entertain guests at a young age. Although they were still immature, they performed very well, with good upbringing, early intelligence and quick thinking, which won the praise of the guests.
On the third night after the old lady left her mourning period, Xia Xiaoxiao cast a dream-making spell on all three kids! That night they dreamed about their mother getting married to the Marquis's Mansion, the Marquis going to war three days after the wedding, their mother working hard to manage and defend the Marquis's Mansion, and their father returning with his lovely wife and son.
In the following years, she had been struggling with the battle for the main wife of the Marquis and his lovely wife, and finally they conspired to plot against her and she hanged herself. After my mother died, the Marquis and his lovely wife wiped out everything that their mother had and drove out my grandfather's family.
After that, they and their lovely son lived happily together, and their mother seemed to have never appeared.
The whole dream unfolds from Xia Xiaoxiao's perspective. During the years when the Marquis disappeared, she worked hard to manage the family but was ridiculed and mocked by their aunt and grandmother. After the Marquis came back, she struggled hard, felt desperate because of being plotted against and lost her innocence, and she was so painful and unwilling to hang herself...
The three children woke up late the next day with swollen eyes. The first thing they did when they woke up was to run to Xia Xiaoxiao's yard. They were relieved to see that their mother was fine.
"Mom, mom!" Three little kids came from different directions and hugged her without saying a word. They hugged Xia Xiaoxiao and smelled the faint fragrance on her body, and only then did they feel relieved.
Afterwards, the three of them cried bitterly. They felt firsthand how much their mother had been wronged in her previous life. The Marquis and his wife, and even everyone in the Marquis's mansion, had never treated their mother kindly.
They are not stupid. Why is Uncle Xu so kind to them? Why are they so similar to Uncle Xu? Things that were uncertain before finally make sense.
Before, they still felt a little guilty about their origins. After all, they were not of the Marquis's bloodline but occupied the Marquis's resources. At that time, although they didn't understand why their mother did this, they also knew that there must be a reason for their mother to do this. In short, their mother's decision would not be wrong. That's right, after many aspects of verification, they have confirmed that they are Uncle Axu's biological sons.
Now the truth has finally come to light, and I finally understand why my mother didn't want to give birth to a child in the Marquis's Mansion.
Now they are also glad that their mother chose another person to be their father. Someone like the Marquis is not worthy of being their father. The guilt they felt before has disappeared without a trace. Now they feel at ease in the Marquis Mansion, and even feel that it is far from enough. This is what everyone in the Marquis Mansion owes their mother and the entire Imperial Censorate!
"Mom, thank you, thank you for giving birth to us." The three little ones all thought of the same thing, that the biggest difference from their previous life was that they were not born. Since they were born in this life, it must be because of their mother.
But their mother was also taking a great risk by doing this. After all, they didn't look like the Marquis, and they looked a lot like Uncle Xu. If they were discovered, there would be no recovery, and their mother would definitely be more miserable than in her previous life.
Their mother must have loved them terribly, otherwise she wouldn't have risked giving birth to them. After this night, they seemed to have grown up overnight! I also thought that their mother should have returned very early, and even made a lot of preparations.
After all, at this time in the previous life, their grandmother was not dead, and their nominal father had returned with his wife and children.
"Mom, when did you come back?" The eldest son asked this question without any context, but the mother and her two children all understood.
"It doesn't matter when you come back. The past is the past. Now we just need to live our lives well. You three still have to study hard and learn more skills. After all, whether mother can live a comfortable life in the future depends on you."
"Then mother, is the marquis still alive now?" The third brother rolled his eyes and asked quietly in Xia Xiaoxiao's ear, and the other two also pricked up their ears.
"Of course I'm still alive and well. Do you think I, your mother, am such a violent person?" Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at them.
Not only are the male and female protagonists still alive, they should be living a comfortable life.
"How could that be possible? Our mother is gentle, virtuous, smart and generous. How could she be violent?" The third brother pinched her shoulders and hit her legs like a lackey!
"Mom, will they come back to compete with us for the Marquis' Mansion in the future?" The eldest brother thought for a while and asked again!
"Yes, of course I will? Marquis' Mansion, this title is something people work hard for their whole lives to get, how can we just give up like that? So you have to study hard, otherwise you won't even be able to compete with the kids who grew up in the village. How embarrassing it would be for me!" Although she wouldn't let the male and female protagonists have this opportunity, she wouldn't tell them now.
"Mom, how little confidence do you have in us? The three of us are a pair of cobblers, but can we be as good as Zhuge Liang? We can't be that bad, right? Even if you don't have confidence in us, we are the ones trained by you and Uncle Axu, so you should have confidence in yourselves, right?" The third brother immediately retorted unconvinced.
"Who would know? You are triplets. Maybe your three sons share one brain. Are they three pieces of barbecued pork that can never be raised well?" Xia Xiaoxiao looked at the three unconvinced brats. They are smart, but too jumpy. It's time to tie them up!
"Mom, just wait. Wait for your sons to make you proud! We will never let you regret giving birth to us. At the very least, we will be better than those three country kids!" Are you kidding? Their mother underestimated them.
After the dream last night, I felt like I had lived through an extra lifetime. My thoughts and brains had also grown. Today's triplets are definitely not the three childish children of yesterday.
"Mom, can you tell us about Uncle Xu? How did he become our father?" This is also a mystery in the minds of the three of them.
"Want to know? Haha, guess?" She would never tell such a secret to three little brats. She has to save her face too.
"Mom, you can't do this." I hate listening to gossip halfway through, and I feel anxious. Besides, they are also participants in this gossip. Although they don't play such an important role, they are the ones who come to play at that time, right?
"Mom, why don't you just bring Uncle Xu back home! He has everything except a wife, and he's just sitting there with nothing. If you bring him back home, you won't be too bored when we go to school." The second child also started to come up with bad ideas!
"That's right, Mom. Uncle Xu is a good guy. Anyway, you and he have the three of us. It's much easier to kidnap him than other women. We will help you." The third brother also reacted.
"Mom, I agree too. Uncle Xu is handsome, has a high social status and is rich, but our mom is also good in every way and is beautiful, so we are a perfect match. We can trick Uncle Xu into coming to our house, and you can take the opportunity to pounce on him!" The more the eldest brother thought about it, the more he felt that this could be done.
When Xia Xiaoxiao heard what these three brats said, she didn't expect them to be so aggressive. They were even more daring than her and even asked her to attack them alive!
"Oh? You three don't mind."
"Mother, you are too out of date. Why should we mind? You don't still want to remain faithful to the Marquis, do you? He doesn't deserve that barbecued pork. Mother, let's be more open-minded. Uncle Xu is so outstanding, much better than the Marquis! We should think of a way to get him to our own bowl. This means keeping the wealth within the family. Feel free to make a move. We will guard the door for you." The eldest brother spoke and the second and third brothers nodded in agreement.
Did she fail in her education? Although she wanted these three guys to relax in private instead of following the rigid rules, she didn't want them to be so open. Why did they feel like bandits? Would they kidnap a girl they liked and bring her back to their mansion?
"Haha, you really dare to think so. Don't you think that he is a prince who has everything he needs? Why do you think he would like a middle-aged woman like me?" Xia Xiaoxiao snorted coldly. She would not tell them that their Uncle Xu was already their mother's dish.
"Mother, look! Uncle Xu has met countless ladies from wealthy families over the years, and I've never seen him take a liking to anyone else. Maybe he will like you. How do you know if you don't try? We have looked, and in the whole capital, there are really few who are better than Uncle Xu. Mother, you also said that people should live their lives the way they want. Even if they don't get married, they can still exchange feelings." But having too good an identity is not a good thing. You can't bring someone back to be mother's lover!
But they also saw that their mother was capable, otherwise no one would have noticed anything wrong with giving birth to their three children! Now they just told their mother, they wouldn't mind, if their mother had this idea, they would take action.
"You also know that you are the prince's bloodline, but you are listed in the family tree of the Marquis' Mansion! And the whole capital knows about your triplets. You are the descendants of the Marquis' Mansion, and it cannot be changed! The prince's title in the future will have nothing to do with you. Will you be unwilling to accept this?" Xia Xiaoxiao carefully observed their reactions.
