Duan Yunhua wanted to clap his hands and applaud, but Duan Yunling looked at Xin You with worry that he couldn't hide.
She knew that it would not be good for Cousin Qing to make a fuss, especially if it made her grandmother unhappy. As a grandchild, she would have no power to resist.
Seeing that the old lady was angry, Mrs. Zhu sighed in her heart and advised: "Old lady, Qingqing is also impulsive. Don't be angry."
The old lady had always been more loving to her granddaughter than to her granddaughter in front of others, but now she had a cold face: "You have reached the age of marriage, and you must not be impulsive. I used to indulge her too much, but now it seems that this is It hurt her.”
Everyone understood that the old lady was really annoyed by her cousin's behavior today, and she would not be so comfortable in the future.
All kinds of eyes fell on Xin You, some were worried, some were sympathetic, and some were gloating about his misfortune.
Xin You was calm: "Grandma, I have something to say to you alone."
The old lady met those calm and calm eyes, and nodded after a while.
"Let's talk." After returning to the back room of Ruyi Hall, no one else was around, the old lady said calmly.
She was also curious about what her granddaughter would say.
No one else is around, put down your dignity and beg her coquettishly?
"Today I went to the bookstore and met the righteous man who saved me that day."
As soon as Xin You opened her mouth, the old lady's whole attention was lifted.
The old lady stared closely at the girl with a straight back, and heard the words she least wanted to hear.
"Only Qingqing knew that the righteous man who saved me was actually the envoy of Jinlin Guard Town." Xin You smiled sweetly, ignoring the old lady's discolored face, "I didn't expect Master He to be a kind man who saves people to the end. He treats me so much." He said that if there is any trouble in the future, just go to him."
The old lady's pupils trembled and her voice changed: "He really said that?"
Xin You looked confused: "There is no need for Qingqing to tell this lie. If grandma doesn't believe it, you can ask Mr. He."
The old lady's expression kept changing and she remained silent for a long time.
It's definitely impossible to ask, but with the status of Marquis Changle, why would he say such things to his granddaughter?
The old lady's eyes fell heavily on the girl who was as tall as a willow and had a face like a hibiscus. A guess couldn't help but emerge: Changle Hou He Qingxiao fell in love with his granddaughter?
This guess made her face look even worse.
The Shaoqing Mansion must not be involved with such a person!
"Qingqing, when you mentioned this person, did you feel that you had been wronged today and wanted to go to him for help?"
Xin You showed an expression as if there was something wrong with it.
"Absurd! You, a girl in a boudoir, leave your family and ask for help from an unmarried man. Do you want to be famous? Do you know what the world will say about you?"
Facing the stern old lady, Xin You laughed: "But isn't the trouble Qingqing encounters all thanks to his relatives?"
These words were like a slap in the face, hitting the old lady hard.
"Qingqing, Mrs. Qiao has been divorced and returned to the Qiao family. Are you still not satisfied and must you drive your second cousin to my grandfather's house?"
The old lady's embarrassment made Xin You feel sad for Kou Qingqing, and she said calmly: "Mrs. Qiao was divorced and returned to the Qiao family, and the second cousin started to make trouble for me. If the second cousin is punished, maybe the eldest cousin will He's going to cause trouble for me. If my eldest cousin is blamed again, I'm afraid my uncle won't be able to tolerate me. Grandma, Qingqing will live in the Shaoqing Mansion and will cause endless trouble in the future. Is this what you want to see? "
The old lady's face turned dark when she was asked, and she said coldly: "You have little contact with them in Wanqing Residence. Why are you in trouble?"
Xin You raised her eyebrows: "Does grandma want me to stay at the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha in Wanqing just like Mrs. Qiao was originally arranged to do?"
The old lady looked solemn and did not speak.
She had no intention of letting her granddaughter Qing Deng Gu Buddha, but seeing that the girl was making too much noise, she wanted to detain her in Wanqing Residence for a period of time, until she knew that the days of confinement were no longer uncomfortable and she became sensible, so that she could return to her former self.
But unexpectedly, this girl thought the situation was worse. If that's the case, where does the confidence come from to make a fuss?
Xin You's tone softened: "Qingqing ran out of the house just now. Many people saw it. I'm afraid they are still speculating and talking around Shaoqing's house. It is difficult to build a reputation, but it is easy to destroy it. Grandma cherishes the reputation of Shaoqing's house so much." , why force me to stay here? Do you want to lock me up for the rest of my life? "
"Are you threatening grandma?"
This girl is right. Unless she is locked up all the time, as long as there is a chance to see people, a willing person can ruin the reputation of Shaoqing's house by doing anything he wants.
"How could it be? Qingqing is just telling the truth. I hate my second cousin now. If I see her again, I might be able to tear her clothes to pieces and throw her out of the house. Grandma doesn't want our cousins to cause trouble like this, right? ?”
Xin You said lightly, ignoring the old lady's extremely ugly expression: "Grandma, Qingqing is sixteen years old this year. If you have no plans to hold me back for the rest of your life, and you feel sorry for Qingqing falling off a cliff and frightening his horse, then please help me. "
These words may sound soft, but in fact they are hidden in a subtle way.
This means that if you can't lock people up all the time, and you can't kill people as cruelly as Mr. Qiao, you might as well compromise.
Kill your granddaughter?
Although the old lady was reluctant to part with the huge sum of money brought by her granddaughter, she never thought about it. To her, Kou Qingqing was the only flesh and blood left by her daughter, her biological granddaughter.
What the old lady thinks about has always been to gain both people and wealth, harmony and beauty.
Now it seems that harmony and beauty are impossible.
"Qingqing, you only think that causing trouble will affect the reputation of Shaoqing's house. Have you ever thought that if you are allowed to leave the house and live alone, it will also be a slap in the face of Shaoqing's house?"
An orphan girl who took refuge in her maternal grandfather's family suddenly left the family to start a new family. What does this make the world think?
"Is that so?" Xin You blinked, as if she had just thought of this question.
She frowned and thought, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Leaving one's home does not necessarily mean setting up another family."
The old lady frowned and looked at her.
"Today Qingqing went out and visited Qingsong Bookstore. I happened to hear that the bookstore was in poor business and the owner wanted to sell it. Grandma, please buy Qingsong Bookstore for me. When the time comes, I will live in the bookstore in the name of managing the bookstore, so I won't have to deal with it. The second cousin had a conflict."
As soon as Xin You said this, the old lady's first reaction was no.
Even she, an old woman, had heard about Qingsong Bookstore, and it cost a lot of money to buy it. Besides, although there are women who are showing up to make a living nowadays, there is nothing they can do about it. How can there be such a beautiful woman among the ladies?
Xin You seemed unable to see the old lady's rejection, and said matter-of-factly: "You don't have to spend any money, just pay Qingqing's dowry in advance. Grandma doesn't have to worry about outsiders' comments. It's because I have a bad temper and can't stay any longer, so I insist on going out to open a shop. You and uncle love me so much...Ah, grandma, did my parents leave enough money for me to buy Qingsong Bookstore?"
The old lady's slightly changed expression made Xinyou's eyes flash.
The previous decision to leave was just an exorbitant price, and the old lady could not agree to it.
Walking out of Shaoqing's Mansion and taking over Qingsong Bookstore was the real purpose of her trouble today.
