Seize His Little Wife

“There’s not really much to do, but some rules ma’am that you need to know.” Aunt Lucy removed the apron from her waist.

Christine White looked at her, “Aunt Lucy why don’t you tell me about it, Baird asked me to ask you for advice.”

“I know, sir told me.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“When?”

“Just while you were doing the laundry, I brought tea up to the gentleman and he specifically instructed me to do so.” Aunt Lucy replied with a smile.

Christine White narrowed her eyes suspiciously, “Tea? Wouldn’t he not be much of a tea drinker?”

Tea in the villa, all for the old man, was never drunk by Baird Lane.

Aunt Lucy shrugged her shoulders, “I’m wondering about that too, mister specifically asked me to make tea and he wouldn’t even let me prepare him coffee when I said I would!”

Hearing this, Christine White immediately remembered something and bit her nails with a sarcastic smile, “I probably know why …”

I’m afraid it was what she said during the day that affected Baird Lane.

That’s why he doesn’t drink coffee.

“What’s the reason?” Aunt Lucy wondered.

Christine White gave a dry smile, “Aunt Lucy, don’t ask, I can’t talk about it, just tell me the rules to pay attention to for ancestor worship first.”

“Okay, then ma’am, take notes as you listen, it’s important.” Aunt Lucy handed her the pen and paper that had recorded her figure data.

Christine White took it and turned to a new page, standing up straight and ready to take notes at a moment’s notice.

As Aunt Lucy goes in-depth, she gains a better understanding of The Lane Family.

Originally, she thought The Lane Family was just the more powerful and top-ranking family, but now she realized that The Lane Family was not as simple as she had previously thought.

Previously, she thought the only remaining population of The Lane Family was the old man and Baird Lane, along with some distant relatives.

But now I realize that this is not the case, the whole The Lane Family has a population of about a hundred people, only those people are not from The Lane Family’s own family, but from various side branches of The Lane Family.

Baird Lane is the only one in The Lane Family!

“That means Grandpa is the patriarch of The Lane Family?” Christine White staggered.

Aunt Lucy nodded, “That’s right, the lord is the patriarch, and when the lord goes, the patriarch will be the mister, and you, ma’am, will be the wife of the patriarch!”

“Mrs. Patriarch …” Christine White’s entire body swooned at the title.

She never thought she would have such a good life, she was born common and grew up unloved by her parents, she thought she was pathetic.

But it never occurred to her that when she grew up she would marry Baird Lane and would marry into a top family like The Lane Family.

She wasn’t really pathetic, she thought, she was luckier than the vast majority of people, and she had always been very much herself when she had walked through the door where the bride was chosen!

“But Mrs.” Aunt Lucy looked at Christine White.

Christine White blinked, “What?”

“This time, since mister took you to pay homage to your ancestors, it means that you will meet those people from The Lane Family, at that time, those people may give you a hard time ma’am, you must be steady.” Aunt Lucy is a little worried.

Christine White tensed up inside, “Difficult?”

“Yes, there are a lot of people out of the five suits in those side lines of The Lane Family who want to marry their daughters to Mr. Now that the position of The Lane Family’s youngest lady has been taken by you, they are ironically not happy about it.”

“So … how are they going to give me a hard time?” Christine White bit her nails with some sadness.

Aunt Lucy shook her head, “I don’t know about that, but when the time comes, you’ll stay in the lounge and you won’t go out except for the ancestor festival.”

“Okay, I’ll keep that in mind.” Christine White answered.

Aunt Lucy added a few more notes before sending her upstairs to rest.

Where Christine White could sleep, lying on her bed unheeded and silently memorizing what she had recorded.

Baird Lane comes back from his work to a scene of her with a sad face and her mouth agape.

“What are you doing?” He asked, tugging at his tie.

Christine White sat up, “I’m remembering what to notice about the ancestor offering.”

“What matters require such rote memorization on your part?” Baird Lane dropped his tie.

If she hadn’t said it herself, he would have thought she was preparing for her senior year.

“These.” Christine White waved the notebook in her hand.

Baird Lane raised an eyebrow, “Show me.”

“Here.” Christine White handed it over crisply.

Baird Lane picked it up and raised an eyebrow.

How come he didn’t know there were so many rules?

“Baird, what’s wrong?” Seeing the subtle expression on Baird Lane’s face, Christine White assumed something was wrong and cautiously inquired.

Baird Lane pointed to the notebook, “Aunt Lucy told you all this?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Give me the pen!” He held out his hand.

Christine White good-naturedly held out a pen to him.

He took it and crossed out several entries in the notebook.

“These are useless, Aunt Lucy is right about the rules, but you are different, you are my wife, the young lady of The Lane Family’s own family, you don’t have to follow them so much, you can do as you please except for being strict when it comes to the ancestor’s service.” Baird Lane returned the revised notes to Christine White.

Christine White looked at it, “Is it really okay?”

“If you want to follow the above, I have no objection.” Baird Lane took off his coat and spoke back in a faint voice.

Christine White hurriedly shook her head, “I’d better forget it then.”

She had wanted to memorize these rules because she was afraid she wouldn’t perform well when the time came.

Since she said she didn’t have to, she’d just comply.

In case you remember it now, it’s okay to be nervous instead of being able to remember it, wouldn’t it be even more humiliating!

“Did Aunt Lucy tell you anything else besides that?” Baird Lane unbuttoned his shirt.

Christine White hmmmed softly, “There is.”

“Said what?”

“Said something about the other sidekicks of The Lane Family and that they might give me a hard time, Baird, is that true?”

Baird Lane’s eyes narrowed a bit, “It’s true, those side branches have always wanted to replace my line, and when they can’t they want to develop in-law relationships, so they may be unfriendly to you, but you don’t have to pay them any mind.”

“Aunt Lucy said as much, and told me to stay in the lounge when the time came, and not to go out if I could, but I’m afraid they’ll come looking for me, in case you’re not with me again at that time …” Christine White was a little uneasily twisting her fingers.

Baird Lane knocked her on the head.

“That hurts!” She covered the top of her head and looked at him accusingly, “Baird what are you doing?”

“Are you stupid?” Baird Lane met her eyes coldly.

Christine White beamed, “Where am I stupid.”

“You’re stupid everywhere, and if they did come to your door, you didn’t know to call me? Or you could have called someone to chase them away!” Baird Lane said with thin lips.

Christine White froze, “Evict them? Is that okay?”

“You are from this family, they are just side branches, in terms of status, you are more honorable than them, and grandpa is the head of the family, as his grandson-in-law, you have the right to have them kicked out, show your strength as the young lady of this family, being too weak will only bring shame to grandpa.” Baird Lane finished speaking and turned in the direction of the bathroom.

Christine White looked at his back and suddenly thought a lot more clearly and made a trumpet shape with her hands and shouted at him, “I know, Baird, thanks for the pointers, I won’t embarrass Grandpa or you!”

Baird Lane paused in his tracks, “I’ll see what happens then!”

“Won’t let you down!” Christine White lowered her hand.

Baird Lane answered and closed the bathroom door.

Christine White smiled slightly, her heart, which had been apprehensive, finally calmed at this moment.

He was right, she was his wife now, the young lady of The Lane Family’s own family, and she didn’t have to be afraid of the sidekick’s spite.

She was also supposed to represent the family and the face of the Old Master and Baird, so if she was afraid, she would really disgrace the Old Master and Baird.

So for the sake of the old man and Baird, she couldn’t, under any circumstances, show weakness.

With that thought, Christine White reached for her bedside cell phone and made a call out.
