"Song Yueyi, I remember my fourth brother said that you read a lot, are knowledgeable and knowledgeable about affairs, and everyone in the house is under your control. Before leaving home a few months ago, I handed over the entire Xie family to you to take care of you. Now it's better, yours Does Zhaofu mean to send my fifth brother to prison? What kind of Xiaoshili is this? Could it be that the broomstick comes in? "
Unexpectedly, when the talent came in, Xie Anping, who was already extremely angry, started questioning him loudly.
She had been raised in the countryside since she was a child, and she had always spoken loudly and vulgarly. Even after returning to Xie's family for a few years and having someone teach her, she could barely hide her aura of a village woman on weekdays. Once something happened, her true nature would be exposed immediately.
Song Yueyi was supported by Jinglan and Qinlan. Her sallow face, bloodless lips, eyes that were barely open, and blue-black eyes looked like she was terminally ill.
The people in the room who saw her face clearly at this moment couldn't help but be shocked. They hadn't seen her for just a few days, how could she be so sick?
Aunt Li quickly ordered someone to bring her a chair and sit down.
Song Yueyi coughed without saying anything, and Xie Jingling frowned.
Ruan Ying also quietly looked at the fiancée who was said to have been engaged to her cousin for four years. There was doubt at first, and then a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"Yuanyuan, didn't I ask Dr. Hu to prescribe medicine for you? Why is the condition not getting better, but getting worse than a few days ago?" Mrs. Xie wondered, could this girl have some incurable disease? But Dr. Hu only said that she was overly worried due to acclimatization and didn't say anything else. She shouldn't be like this.
"Thank you, old lady, for your concern." Song Yueyi coughed twice and looked at Xie Anping, "Cousin, I know that your fifth cousin was imprisoned in the county jail and you have resentment in your heart. You blame me for not taking care of your fifth cousin well, and you have wronged your fourth cousin. Brother’s high hopes.”
"But the fifth cousin kept his affair with Miss Yuqiong a secret from me. If I had known that he had someone he liked, even if the old lady and my uncle and aunt wanted him to marry Miss Jiang, I would never have brought him with me. If we go to Jiang's house, maybe that girl Yuqiong won't make trouble, and my fifth cousin won't rush into Huang's house and hurt people..."
"It's really my fault that I've been in poor health these past few months. I've been so sick that I can only stay in the yard without seeing the light of day. That's why I gave my fifth cousin the opportunity to have these troubles..."
She blamed herself on the left and herself on the right, all of them talking about her own faults. For some reason, the faces of the Xie family members in the room became anxious.
It's easy to say that Xie Renhuai is already nineteen this year. Although she is like her mother-in-law, she is not married after all, and he is three years older than her. How can a distant cousin take care of her cousin?
Moreover, she had only been in the Xie family for a few months. The Xie family had raised him for four years and they had not changed his habit of lying and being domineering. How could she discipline him well?
In addition, she had been ill for several months, and was forced by the old lady to go to the Jiang family to arrange their marriage without her knowledge. She could not be blamed for this!
But...someone questioned him confidently as soon as he came back.
There was no sound in the room for a while, except for the clinking of porcelain when someone occasionally used a tea cup.
Song Yueyi continued slowly: "From the day I was taken to Xie's house, I knew that everyone had high hopes for me. So I served the old lady on the sickbed, respected my uncle and aunt, advised my brother, and did not compete with my sister-in-law. I always followed the rules. Observe the virtues of women, be frugal and diligent.”
"But in the case of my fifth cousin, it was ultimately my fault that led to his imprisonment. It was my fault in virtue and my fault in letting everyone down."
When Mrs. Qian heard that her tone was wrong, she hurriedly said: "Yuanyuan, don't say that, no one blames you, everyone just talks casually."
Song Yueyi shook her head, "I've been feeling extremely ashamed in my heart these past few days. I've been thinking about it. I'm really not worthy of being the wife of the Xie family, let alone my cousin's good wife and co-ordinator. In order to prevent the Xie family from falling because of me in the future. , Therefore, I sincerely request that the marriage between me and my cousin be put aside and that it be better to break off the engagement."
After Song Yueyi finished speaking, everyone looked at her in horror.
For a girl's family to take the initiative to cancel the engagement, which is tantamount to self-destruction, and completely ignores the reputation of the Xie and Song families...
Xie Anping was furious and said loudly: "Cousin, why don't we tell you that you have done something wrong? Are you trying to break off the engagement? Who are you trying to scare? With a talent like my fourth brother, I don't know how many ladies want to marry him. No. He will live more comfortably without you as a broom star!"
Song Yueyi nodded, "I know, I'm the one who favored your fourth brother. So, fourth cousin, can we let this marriage go?"
She looked at Xie Jingling. Xie Jingling, who had never looked at her in the eyes, was shocked and stared at her, trying to see the traces of her conspiracy in her calm and tenacious eyes.
But he was disappointed. There was no memory or thought of him there, only integrity and clarity, so magnanimous that people dared not look directly at him.
Mrs. Xie shouted loudly, "Yuanyuan, do you know what nonsense you are talking about? Since ancient times, husbands have the meaning of marrying twice, and women have no two marriages. You have been engaged to Jinzhi since you were a child, and everyone knows it. You If you break off the engagement, aren't you afraid of ruining Jin Zhi's reputation or your name? Do you want to be with Qing Deng forever in the future? Don't say that you haven't done anything wrong. Even if you have, I won't allow you to blame yourself and give up."
"Grandma is right." Xie Jingling stood up and said solemnly: "Cousin, I pretend I didn't hear what you just said. Renhuai should be responsible for the trouble he caused. What does it have to do with you? Who dares to do this in the future? If I say no to you, I will break his legs. Anping, apologize to my cousin!"
He spoke righteously, but Song Yueyi was cold-mouthed. This was probably the most he spoke to her since she arrived at Jianghu.
Even when she was working day and night to take care of the old lady, he just didn't say a word of thanks when he saw her. He was still afraid that she would get close to him in return for her kindness, so he always said coldly: "Stay away from me!"
Apart from this, there is nothing else to say.
I didn't know before that I thought he had such a temperament, so I always tolerated it.
But since the fantasy world, I saw him holding Qing Geer, whom she had raised for two years, with one hand, and Ruan Ying with the other, saying affectionately: "She is finally going to die, and our family of three is finally reunited. Ah Ying, in this life, I only admit You are my wife. I will never let you down in this life."
She was still immersed in memories, and Xie Anping, who was most afraid of Xie Jingling, walked up to her and said reluctantly: "I was just talking nonsense. Please don't take offense, cousin."
Song Yueyi calmed down and felt a headache as she pouted Lao Gao's lips. If it hadn't been for what she said today, how would she have been able to use the topic?
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xie and Xie Jingling had clear goals and would not pick up her troubles at all. Did the drama of breaking off the engagement that they had been looking forward to for many days come to an end so quietly?
"I don't dare. Cousin, there is no need to apologize to me. It's been a long journey, so go and sit down." Song Yueyi didn't want to get entangled with her, coughed twice and then said to Xie Jing:
"My cousin is kind enough not to blame me for this crime, but in the future when I think of my fifth cousin being imprisoned because of my mistakes, I will definitely feel sad about this. If my fifth cousin makes another mistake, I will And if you don’t control it well, isn’t it a heinous crime? Cousin, it’s really hard for me to take on such a big responsibility. I’d better call off the marriage..."
