"This girl Qiao, we Qinyu are determined to marry!" Mrs. Xi was full of confidence.
"Mother..." Xiao Chongjing cried secretly in his heart.
He opened his mouth and wanted to tell the truth, but he was afraid that his mother would anger Yin Xiaorou, so he could only shut up.
Even in order to cover up for Yin Xiaorou, he blamed all the problems on Qiao Shiran and persuaded his mother: "Mom, I heard that Miss Qiao has eyes higher than her head and is simply restless. Qinyu is so simple My temper, if I marry her, will I be able to live a good life? I think I’d better forget it..."
"Yeah?"
When Mrs. Xi heard this, she hesitated.
But then I thought about it, it didn't matter if her eyes were higher than her head, or if she was restless, it was just because she wasn't married yet. When you get married and go to the general's mansion, once the palace gate is closed, won't you still be honest? In the Xiao family's territory, could it be that so many people couldn't deal with her?
How could a little woman rebel against nature?
Besides, being raised with such a character just shows that she is favored by her mother's family.
If the mother's family feels sorry for their daughter and wants her to live a good life, how can he not treat his son-in-law well? How dare he not treat his son-in-law well?
I'm afraid I'll have to turn around to please my son-in-law...
Mrs. Xi thought so and felt happy. She waved her hand to stop Xiao Chongjing from rambling, went directly to the desk, and wrote another letter to Mrs. Huiguo with a stroke of her pen. Let her take Qiao Shiran to meet at Shuiyun Teahouse in three days.
"Mom, I think we should forget it. They will definitely not go, so why are you wasting your efforts?" Xiao Chongjing looked at the letter and felt anxious, wishing he could just grab the letter and tear it up.
"How do you know they won't accept the invitation?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Xi was unhappy.
She is the wife of the old general of the Xiao family and the mother of the current general of the Xiao family. Her husband died for the country, her son fought for the country, and even she herself fasted and chanted Buddha's name all year round... How is she different from those noble ladies who spend their days in fine clothes and fine food, only listening to music and enjoying themselves? Why do they dare to neglect her.
"I……"
Xiao Chongjing had clearly prepared a large basket of words to persuade his mother, but seeing that she seemed to be really angry, he hesitated and hesitated.
He thought to himself that his mother had always been in poor health. As a son, it was fine that he couldn't comfort her. How could he go out of his way to make her angry? Just leave it to her. Anyway, Mrs. Huiguo already knows Xiaorou's identity and should not mention that matter again.
It just so happened that my mother was rejected once, so I didn’t have to worry about Miss Qiao anymore...
With this thought in mind, he stopped talking. He called the boy directly to help Mrs. Xi deliver the letter.
…
"A letter from the Xiao family?"
When Mrs. Huiguo heard that the Xiao family had sent her a letter, her face was filled with disgust. She was sipping tea. When she heard this, she threw the teacup on the table and said impatiently: "The Xiao family is crazy? Why are you sending me a letter for no reason? Do you want to scold me?"
"Don't be angry, aunt, it's not worth it for that kind of person."
Qiao Shiran comforted him with a smile, took the letter from the servant, and read it carefully.
After watching for a while, her eyes became darker and darker.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her niece's increasingly cold expression, Mrs. Huiguo's heart tightened. She quickly grabbed the letter and looked at it, her face instantly darkened with anger.
She snorted coldly, slapped the table and cursed, "This Xiao family is really bullying people! It's not enough to harm my brother Sheng, they also want to harm my Ran'er... Ahem, they are determined to kill us. You can’t just eat it and wipe it clean!”
"Auntie, please pay attention to your health..."
Qiao Shiran quickly stepped forward to comfort him.
"They have all planned this on you, can I not be angry?!"
Looking at Qiao Shiran's quiet and sensible look, Mrs. Huiguo almost shed tears of distress.
"Your health is more important." Qiao Shiran comforted with a smile, but his eye circles turned red unconsciously, "Aunt, my mother died early, and my father didn't care about me since he married his second wife. Only you are mine. My dear, if you are angry, then whatever happens next..."
Qiao Shiran choked and shed tears.
"Don't cry, don't cry, my aunt feels sorry for you who is crying..." Looking at Qiao Shiran's face that was very similar to her dead sister, Mrs. Huiguo suddenly felt infinite sadness and pity in her heart.
She quickly pulled Qiao Shiran to sit next to her, holding her tightly like a mother. While constantly wiping her tears, I kept crying...
The two hugged each other and cried for a while. Mrs. Huiguo patted Qiao Shiran's back and assured, "Don't worry, my aunt will never marry you to such a dirty family. I will tell them to get out of here." !”
"Don't!" Qiao Shiran quickly stopped Mrs. Huiguo. She wiped her tears and said firmly: "Aunt, promise them!"
"What?!" Mrs. Huiguo was startled. She quickly looked at her niece, "But don't be confused. You also saw Xiao Qinyu and Yin Xiaorou at the Autumn Appreciation Banquet that day... "
"I know, I don't care about their relationship."
Qiao Shiran smiled to comfort her aunt and explained patiently, "But no matter whether I care or not, are we just going to let the Xiao family bully us again and again? Auntie, the rabbit bites people when it is anxious, so do we. It’s time to teach the Xiao family a lesson.”
"I heard that Xiao Qinyu once used his sword against Hua Wei in the street for that Yin Xiaorou."
"You mean Yuan..." Mrs. Huiguo was stunned for a moment, and soon understood what Qiao Shiran meant. She sneered, "You're right! Since the Xiao family is so shameless, we don't have to save face for them! This time, I have to ruin the Xiao family's reputation!"
