My Lady Always Lacks Ambition

Chapter 140: Chapter 139: Currying Favor

The next morning, Mrs. Xie came out wearing a newly made cloak and at the sight of a brand new mink cloak on Mrs. Wang standing in front of the carriage, her face changed several times.

“This cloak of my big sister…”

Seeing the expression on her face, Mrs. Wang knew what she was thinking and said with a slight smile, “Xixi sent this over last night with a maid. Perhaps she thought I looked too thinly dressed; she does have a filial heart.”

Another gift from Qin Liuxi?

Mrs. Xie glanced at the jade hairpin on her head and said with an envious tone, “Big sister is indeed lucky. Although young Qin Liuxi was sent to the old house and, by all rights, should not be so closely bonded with you, she is very obedient and respects you in every way, even more so than her own mother is capable of.”

Envious and sarcastically spoken!

Mrs. Wang replied, “When it comes to good fortune, who can compare to you, with several children all staying by your side?”

Mrs. Xie was startled and quickly cheered up but dared not show it too much, only saying, “Big sister, don’t be too sad. Things will get better.”

Yes, no matter how filial, what is it worth if your legitimate son is not by your side to offer joy?
