Mrs. He looked very unhappy, but there was nothing she could do.
She owed Xiao'er so much that she could never straighten her back in front of Xiao'er.
Now, she can only do more to make amends.
She hoped that one day Xiao'er would be able to call her mother as dependent as she was when she was a child.
Mrs. He ignored Cheng Fang who was standing beside her, and said slowly: "Xiao'er, you are thirty-one years old this year, but you are still alone. Your marriage has always been in my heart. My mother knows that you have never married. The reason is that after careful consideration in all aspects, I still want to help you achieve your original intention."
She turned sideways and held Luo Qi's hand, "You and Qi'er grew up together, childhood sweethearts, and have a deep relationship..."
Only halfway through her words, He Xiao understood what she was going to say.
His eyes fell on Luo Qi with sarcasm.
After failing to find Mrs. Sui, she asked his mother to come forward as a lobbyist. She didn't really think that he had been unmarried for so many years because of her, right?
The look in his eyes made Luo Qi freeze up. She felt as if she had no clue, and all her inner thoughts had been seen through.
She pursed her pale lips and turned her head slightly, avoiding He Xiao's sight.
"Qi'er is living a difficult life in the Luo family with your eldest brother's child. If you and Qi'er get back together, you can not only be with your sweetheart, but also take care of your eldest brother's son." Mrs. He said softly, "As for the people from the capital, If you care about the rumors, I can give Qi'er a new identity, and your eldest brother's son can also be adopted into your name."
"Ah!"
He Xiao smiled softly.
Mrs. He suddenly realized what she was saying and said quickly: "Okay, okay, I know you and your eldest brother have always been at odds. If you don't like his son, then we won't take him back. Let that child fend for itself outside. As long as you and Qi'er are fine..."
"He Ling almost killed me over and over again. You still want me to raise a son for him. I'm not so broad-minded." He Xiao's face was full of sarcasm, "Also, may I ask Mrs. He, why do you think, I should fully accept the wife He Lingxiu abandoned. In your heart, am I so despicable?"
Luo Qi's breathing stopped suddenly, and he grabbed his collar in disbelief.
She thought of He Xiao's promise to her a long time ago, of his vow not to marry anyone except her, of all the good things he had done to her...
Time has passed and those vows no longer exist.
It's not He Xiao's fault, it was her, she made the wrong choice, she failed him, and now it's all her own fault.
Her eyes were red, and she said softly: "No, I am the one who is mean. I betrayed you, but I still come back to find you. A woman like me is truly mean. He Xiao, we were once...now I am alone, and you are also alone. If you feel that I have insulted you by treating you as your wife, you can take me as your concubine, and I will have no objection..."
"hehe!"
He Xiao couldn't help but laugh again.
If he had any pity for her before, then at this moment, that pity disappeared.
He spoke one word at a time: "I will never agree to what you want. Don't come to the military camp again in the future, and I won't see you if you come."
Luo Qi's tears fell uncontrollably. She lowered her head, turned around and ran away.
"Xiao'er!" Mrs. He took his arm, "You don't have to accept Qi'er, but you can't go down alone all the time. How about this? At the end of this month, I invite some daughters of the right age to come to the He Mansion for a visit. , just tell mom who you like, no matter what the person's background is, as long as you like it, mom can help you arrange the marriage, okay?"
He Xiao took out his arm.
He was really fed up with his mother's self-righteous arrangements, but as long as he didn't get married, these things would always exist.
It seems that as long as he successfully marries a wife for him, he can make up for the lack of maternal love for so many years.
He turned his head and grabbed Cheng Fang's hand: "This is the woman I like. Can Mrs. He help me come to propose marriage?"
"What?!" Mrs. He was stunned. "Isn't she Mrs. Sui's maid?"
Cheng Fang was also stunned.
She kept looking at her nose, nose and heart, trying to reduce her sense of presence, but unexpectedly, her hand was directly grabbed by He Xiao.
But soon, she understood what He Xiao meant.
Since Master He needs her, she naturally has to accompany him for a performance.
She held He Xiao's hand in return, raised her eyes and said, "I am indeed Mrs. Sui's maid, but Mrs. Sui said that even a maid has the right to pursue her own happiness. I don't feel that my status Inferior.”
"You, you..."
Mrs. He didn't know what to say at all.
She knew very well that there was no one of the opposite sex around her son except Mrs. Sui. This maid appeared completely out of thin air.
In order to refuse her arranged marriage, would you rather get involved with a lowly maid?
"Xiao'er, you are too impulsive." Mrs. He said slowly, "I will not interfere in your marriage for the time being. You should think it over yourself."
She took a deep look at Cheng Fang, turned around and left.
After the He family's carriage left, Cheng Fang immediately took out her hand. She took a step back, lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, Master He. I was too abrupt just now. Please don't take it to heart."
"I was clearly the one who was rude. What are you apologizing for?" He Xiao looked at the top of her head and said, "How old are you this year?"
Cheng Fang replied: "Twenty-four years old."
"You are twenty-four and haven't gotten married yet, and I am thirty-one and haven't gotten married yet." He Xiao said seriously, "You have also seen that if I don't get married, my mother will bother me about it every day. , I don’t want to have any more conflicts with her. And since you have been unmarried for many years, your life in Dahe Town should not be easy, so why don’t we make do with it.”
Cheng Fang's eyes suddenly widened.
She raised her head in disbelief: "Does Master He know what he is talking about?"
He Xiao nodded: "The world is difficult, and a woman who is alone will suffer a lot of verbal and written criticism. If you are my He family wife, I will ensure that you will have no worries in your life."
Cheng Fang's heart felt inexplicably warm, and she said: "Master He has lived in Dahe Village for two years, so he should know my past. My parents told me about my marriage, and my fiancé had an accident before we got married. Therefore, I gained a reputation as a kungfu, and it was because of this that Mrs. Sui took me in. Master He is a benefactor of Dahe Village and taught me kung fu. How could I harm Master He?"
"You are my wife, but I am determined." He Xiao smiled, "I am the only one in the He family who is still alive and well. How can you, a woman, defeat me? However, marriage is a major event in a woman's life. I will not force you to marry me, I just propose a way that is beneficial to both of us. If you are willing, then I will marry you in a big sedan chair. If you are not willing, today’s matter should be as follows Never happened.”
